Lets vote for Breckenridge and Lane.
Justice, and truth, they win sustain;
In their speeches they 90 declare.
They stand for justice everywhere.
All toryism they do despise,
And equal rights. they highly prize;
In our territories, they say,
Those that own negroes there canstay.
Then let the unjust spirit die,
And all with equal rights comply;
Take naught that is your neighbours due,
Then your neighbors can stand with you.
All to the Union can prove true,
And the good constitution too;
Whilst all can have honest fair play.
In united America.
Then vote for Lane and BreckiHridge,
They'll be to us. like safe bridge;
They squatter sovereignty despise,
And all negro stealing likewise.
So then let no right folks complain,
o ( tbejust Breckenridge and Lane;
Just in the legislative hall,
They acted Tor the good Of all.
Likewise when they were called to go,
To tight against all Mexico.
Firmly they stood, where brave men fell
No men their bravery did excel.
Then vote for Breckenridge and Lane,
They will our Just rights well sustain;
In States and territories too,
To ell right folks they will prove true.
Then let The North and South unite
And 90 what's just-the thing thatsrigh'
Drive abolition from the lana,
And let the constitution stand.
Abolition came from abroad,
Don't submit to such British fraud;
But save what our brave Fathers won,
Aided BY the great Washington.
Then vote for Breckinridgs and Lane,
Like all true men, they will maintain,
In territories, and each State,
Ali our jus. rights inviolate.

DOUGLAS DiSunionism.

The Southern Ccnfederacy, pub
lisbed at Atlanta, Georgia, is one of
the ablest and most influential Of the
advocates Of the election Of Mr..
Douglas, in the slaveholding States.
It is for him, because it can best con.
tribute to The dissolution of the Tn.

number, it answers the question,
What will the South do If Abraham
Lincoln is elected President? Ger.

JOHN BELL ON PRo.sLAyERY Law IN
KANSAS. On the 21st of February
1857, there was a bill pending be-
fore the United States Senate, which
had previously passed The House

prO-slavery laws that had been
passed by the Territorial Legislature
Of Kansas. Mr.. Weller, for the
purpose Of killing the bill in short
order, moved to lay it on the table

We invite the attention Of Doug

What do they take it to be? 1t
is the resolution unanimously adopt.
ed at the Democratic State Conven-
ton at Nashville in January last
over which Hon. Geo. W. Jones
presided. 1t vas the resolution o.
instruction defining the views of thu
entire Tennessee Democracy, unde'
which the delegates went to Charles
ton and Baltimore. It amounted t.
an instruction to support a 'platiorn
recognizing such a principle, and nj
other. 1t was constructive Of GU
views of the meaning Of the Cincin
natl platform. Our delegates wen
there, and when they discovered tina
a plat form was to be crammed dow
their throats embodying a difieren
and hostile principle, tho larger por
ton withdrew, and nominated Brock
inridge. Are not the Douglas ad
herents estopped7 We leave it t.
their candor! They must otherwise
repudiate their own deliberately ex
pressed views Of January last.

The Douglas Platform.

Ii has SO often been asserted that
this platform contains all that IS re-
quisits to guarantee to the South
each and every constitutional right
she is contending for, that We
desire to place before our readers
some facts in relation to it, whereby
they may be convinced such is not
not the case. The first resolution
contained in the platform is the en-
,.orsement Of the Cincinnati Platform
This platform was then deemed by
many to be susceptible of two con-
structions-.ona favorable to The
North to the detriment Of the South,
and the other favorable to the South
without being detrimental to the
North. Senator Douglas has chosen
TO construe it in the light unfavorable
to the South. We disagree With
with him in hia construction and insist
the true Interpretation to be the one
which guarantees to US eur equal
rights under the Constitution. For
this we have the authority Of Ben
iamin F. Hsllett, its author; We also
have the entire United States Senate,
with single exception, and a large
majority Of the House of Represent
atives-facts which 90 to prove We
arc right. The last resolution is one
containing implied security to US and
an scquiescence in the demands Ue
make for our rights under the Con-
stitution. We take it that We are
not bound to receive a resolutions in
fact guaranteeing US our rights Wber
there is suspicion Of ms inesr'fy at
tsched to it. The suspicion is War
ranted by the manner in which the
resolution was offered and adopted
and By the resolution itself in alb
sspce of other proof. 1t is a fact
beyond doubt or cavil that 1t was
offered by Governor Wyoklide-
sffare6 after the Convention had
adopted its platiorm-aftsr the Con
yeution had declared Stephen A
Douglas the nominee, and offered
With the remarks: "The Convention
should adopt it because it wOala in
sure at least 10000 vOtes for Doug
las in the South" Does not this
hear an air of iusincsrity? Suppose
the resolution was really what we
desire; would lis passage under such
circumstances give US implicit faith in
IL? The resolution is as follows:
aResolced, That it is in accor-
dance with the true Interpretation oil

fhe existence Of Territorial govern.

whatever it may be, imposed BY the
