Some Facts for the Sece ssionists.

The St. Louis Republican, of the 9th ult.,
has the following facts showing "the insin.
certify and folly of the Breckenridge Sena.
tors, in opposing Mr.. Douglass because he is
not in favor of slave code for the Terrific
ries." 1t says:
Senator Green made speech on Tuesday,
in front of the Court House, of some two
hours length. The Senator had good deal
to say about protection of slavery in the Ter
ritorles, and the Breckenridge policy in ref
erence to protection. When he had finished
his remarks, in relation to Congressional pro-
lection, j. Q. Kay, Esq, handed him writ
ten question, and asked the Senator for an
answer
Mr. Green politely bowed and read
"Why did the Senate vote against Browns
bill for protecting slavery in the Territories
at the last session of Congress ?" Mr.. Green
answered in these words: Ist That the
House would not agree with the Senate if
they had voted for Browns bill for protec-
tion. I'd. That the Senate did not believe
there existed any necessity for protection
3D. And they did not wish to hurt Douglass S
| feelings. by passing law to that effect
There it is. That is the answer of James
). Green, Senator in Congress from the State
OF Missouri, and Gov. Polk if interrogated,
would be forced to make the same response
1t tells the whole story of the insincerity and
the folly of the Breckenridge Senators in op-
posing Mr.. Douglas because he is not in favor
of a slave code for the Territories, or of that
declaration in the Secession platform which
looks to the protection Of slave property in
the Territories by the aid of Congress. Mr..
Brown, to test the sincerity of the Breckn-
ridgers-the same men who had been vast
ing the time of the Senate for months in use
less discussions upon series of resolutions
which were intended to constitute a plat,
form for the Democratic party at this time
introduced bill to annul the laws of Kan
sas, abolishing slavery in that Territory
That bill went into the possession of Mr..
Green, as Chairman of the Committee on
Territories. He kept it in his breeches pock
cts for three months, all the time pushing
the Senate to a decision on Davis resolutions
to which we have referred, and which it was
deemed essential should be passed before the
Charleston Convention. After those resolu-
tions were passed, Green was forced to re-
port upon the bill, and it was done with a
recommendation against its passage, and the
fre-eaters of the Senate-the intense friends
of the South--concurred in the report.
Now, Mr.. Green tells us that it was folly
to pass the bill, because the House would
not agree to it that the Senate did not be-
lieve there existed any necessity for the pro-
lection to slave property intended by the
bill and, more ridiculous still, that the men
who were then firing the Southern heart,
and plotting disunion, did not want to hurt
Mr.. Douglas feelings by passing this BILL
The avowals of Mr.. Green constitute COM
plete abandonment of the only ground upon
which the Brecksnridgers stand-that prin-
ciple requires the Intervention of Congress
for the protection of slavery in the Terrific
ries. Mr.. Green gives up everything when
he says that "the Senate did not believe there
existed any necessity for the protection of
slave property" as contemplated by Browns
bill, and it establishes beyond all question,
that the Secessionists are the greatest hypo-
critics living when they make the support of
Breckenridge to depend upon this single test
alone. They know and the country knows,
that the disagreement between the Senate
and the House. which makes it impossible
that any such bill ever can be passed, always
will exist and that the true policy for the
Democracy is to take from Congress the pow
er to pass unfriendly laws in relation to
slavery in the Territories-as the Black Re-
publicans will do when they get the Execu-
tive and Legislative power into their hands
by persisting in maintaining the principle
of the Cincinnati platform, ignoring all in,
reference with slavery in the Territories
