Mr. Thornton In the course Of his eloquent remarks

the South but the same time he was in favor of the
preservation Of the Union and that in order to put the
South her right footing in order to perpetuate the
Union, in order to aay all scctionasm aud forever kill

Bell and Edward Everett the nominees Of that party
which had for its wstchWOrds The Unou the Constit-

To he Editor Of The Richmond WAig:
Our Circuit Court commenced its fall session on the
9th inst and during the court had good deal Of
political discussion. Mr.. j. J. Newman of Kanawha
represented the Breckenridge disunon wing of the De-
mocracy, Colonel j. W. Davis, of Greenbrer the Doug
las wing and Samuel Price, Of Greenbrer, and J. A.
Aderson faithful and efficient members of the House
Of Delegates the Union party. Ga the first day Of
court Messrs. Davis Newman and Anderson made
speeches Colonel Davis opened the ball. by speech of
hours length in which he presented the claims Of
Mr.. Douglas quite pausiby and fOrcibly and was follow
ed by Mr.. Newman, in very credable speech Of the
same length. He was followed by Mr.. Anderson who
was allowed only half hour to reply to the speakers
who preceded him, but in the short time allotted him. he
most ably and calamity defended the noble cause OF
which he was the advocate After his speech Colonel
Davis according to their arrangement closed the discus
sion by reply OF thirty minutes He handled the Breck-
nridge party and that poor old man, Jimmy Buchanan

Mr., YanceV and the Missouri Compromise ana
VVfIuOI FrOVIaO.


Il is well known that Mr. Yauccy voted for the VIII
mot PrOviso attached to the Oregon Bill But here is
another little item Of his short Congressional history
which we would commend TO the attention of his ultra
Southern Rights friends On the 2Sth Of January, 1915,
S A. Douglas, of Illinois offered the following amend
ment to the Texas Bill
"And in such States as shall be formed out OF said
Territory north Of the Missouri Compromise line slavery
involuntary servtude except for crime, shall be pro-
hibited."
The entire clause reads thus:
"And such States as may be formed out Of that por-
ton Of said Territory lying South of $3.50 North iat
tudc commonly known the Missouri Compromise ine
shall be admitted into the Union with or without slavery
the people of each State asking permission may ue
sire. And ia such States shall be formed oH Of sueh
Territory North of said Missouri Compromise line sfa
yery involuntary servitd, except Jor crime, sha DC
prohibited"
Here was an instance of Congressional legislation to
prohibit slavery in Texas where, by law it was recog
nized For this was new Territory TO which the Mis-
souri, restriction Of 1920 did not apply. And the Hon.
William L. Yancey sustained the principle Of abolition
By Congressional legislation BY VOTING THIS AMEND
NENr."
Now as the Selma Reporter pointedly remarks "f the
acknowledged leader Of the ultra souhernRghts Breck
mridge men could in one short session. by his votes
sanction the principle Of the Wilmot Proviso and the
Missouri restriction, and yet be good and true South
ern man, how tenderly should our ultra-Democratic
friends handle the record of like John Bell, who,
unlike their leader during twenty-five years in Congress
always voted against the wimOt PrOvisO who always
denounced squater sovereignty and who made the most
mastery and statesmanke exposition of our views as
to the peculiar institution" that has ever been made
upon the floors OF Congress- demonstrating the fact that
humanity to the slave less than justice to the mas
ter, recommended the policy Of the diffusion and extern
sion of Slavery
