SINE principle was affirmed And the
American party adopted the same doc
'r.ne in their celebrated twelfth re.olu
ton. II they were honest in the avowal
- those principles why cannot they stand
by them now. Buchanan and Brecken
ridge agowed the doctrine, and they were
e'ected on that doctrine in 1856, and they
could no. have been elected without. that
doctrine. What if they had told the peo-
ple that their doctrine was that If the peo-
Re !iln't want slavery they might have

are all pledged to the measure) and they
will say that the bill vas lost for want of
time. Il was the same with the French

negro question took NJ all the time.
lie: Us Danish this question from the
halls Of Congress 20 that we may pay
some little attention to tie wants of The
white people. Tie Government was es-

pc that our fathers fought for to transmit
il As an Inheritance to their children.
