it were cast by Southern Wings! 1t won't 90
And when you exult over the Democrats as having
"sown the wind" and now "reapiDg the whirl'
wind" you compel us to ask, What has the
Wing party already "rcaped" as the result OF this
" disastrous" measurel
But again, gentlemen March 3D. the Senate
proceeded to vote on Nh Cha.e's amendment, add
ing to Mr.. Douglass section these words,
under which the People the Territory through their appo
pirate may If they 6t prohibit the exist
" euce of Slavery therein
which was voted down: leas-Chase, FISH,
HamliD, Seward, &c.-l0; Nays-BeH, Douglas
Houston. &c.-36; and nine Of them elected as
Wings ct that And yet, while your candidate as
well as Douglas voted to deny the People oil Tue
Territories the right to prohibit Slavery therein
their advocates are daily asking us, why not iel
the people of the Territories have Slavery or not
/" have it, as they shall see fit ASK John Bell
Ask Stephen A. Douglas
But again: Mr.. Chase moved that the People OF
each Territory be allowed to choose their own Gov
e,nor: and this, too, was denied them by the same
memorable majority: Yeas-Chase, Fessenden,
Foot, Hamlin, Seward, &c.-lO; Nays-Bsa,
Douglas, &c.-3O; including eight elected as
Wings.
True, when the bill, thus perfected, was to be
ordered to q third reading Mr.. Bell did not vote;
while on the final passage he voted Nay; but the
record above made was not thereby elaced. Study
it we'll Then sSy whether the reputation OF the
Missouri Compact is TO be rebuked by voting for
Douglas under pretense of supporting John
Bell
The Address consoles US with the assurance
that
1--WE do not think the Dir Lincoln would be fatal
to the Union"
Glad to hear it, venerable cotemporaries
If -FOUR nerves are mistaken, surely nobody's Iced
culver. But why should you say
"Tha the Republican party honestly believed throughout
the whole South to sectional party and such is viewed
incorporating hostility Is enough for the purposes Of our
argument II they have earned such reputation without de-
serving it, misfortune the consequences Of which they
must submit"
%, no most potent, grave and reverend seign-
iors! The true way is to let the Republicans
prove, by an upright, impartial, constitutional ad-
ministration of the Federal Government, that they
are not sectional And that is what the People are
about TO do.
You say of the Republican party that
The great object which they proposed accomplish the
admission Of Kansas Free State. This the aud
justification formation Of purely sectional organization
Th element them their great strength In 1850 1t was for
this that many moderate and conservative In the Northern
ard Middle gave them their votes at that time Bat that
object is accomplished"
No, gentlemen We hate to be dogmatc with
men old e. ough to know better, but "that object
is not accomplished" Kansas is not admitted,
though YOU well know she ought to have been, and
,Ou sham champions Of Popular Sovereignty haze
Kept her out! Had those Senator'S VIII, profess to
fa'or harmony, ard Cancellation, and the death of
agitation, taken hold heartily with the Republicans,
Kansas ,eouid have been ADMITTED at the late Ses-
sion. Why did you mott If you supposed the
admission of Kansas "the great object" of Repub-
licanism, why old you not remove this prete1t for
continued agitation by admitting her1 What ex-
cuse have you for so peversey feeding aud stirring
the fires of sectional agitation" by most uDjust
fably keeping her QUIT
But no man ever saw Republican platform, no
man ever heard Republican speech, that regarded
the Admission of Kansas as the great object of
our party We mean to expel Slavery from the
Territories where it has obtained fOOthold and
then bolt the door against its return. We mean to
keep it out of those it has not yet invaded. We
mean to have the Government administered in the
interest and to the advantage Of Free Labor We
mean to baye indemnity for the past and security
for the future. AS to Jour cant about Sectional
party, let ST. LOUIS answer It for The present,
three or four States will be ready to do before Mr.
Lincoln's first term will have nearly expired. For
the present suffice it that we have heard from the
home Of FRANK BLAIR.
FINALLY, tie "Uuion" Address exalts the
horn Of Messrs. Bell and Everett aud looks pity
iDgly down on Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Bell we
are told, has been Speaker of the House and
Secretary Of War; Mr.. Everett has been Governor
of Massachusetts Minister to England, and Secre-
tary of State; while
Mr. Lincoln admit, Ia a respectable man respectable
lawyer ard popular speaker probably than average
ability but what mrsser catalogue this Of claims for the
highest Office Nothing whatever known Of his executive or
administrative capacity &cr &c
All which is very weak and in bad taste. Mr.
Lincoln is not so old as either Mr. Bell or Mr..
Everett by a good many years; he tegan life
very poor aud in its bumblest walks, while they
we're born to education, opulence consequence; he
tas lived all his adult years IN State oyerwhelm
