VI have said that / never could vote for Il
the extension of Slavery myself; and
repeat that reUcr can and ncrcr wiU cote,

70 Spread Slavery orer Territory arhere it
does not exist."
You know that when the new and ride
ulous dogma that the Constitution, which
was made for the States by the States, re-
cognizes the existence Of Slavery in the
Territories, was first announced by Mr..
Calhoun, Mr.. Clay then spoke of it
81 must say, that the idea that 60 Instant,
upon the consummation of the treaty, 1.-THE
treaty of Guadalupe HidaIgo) the Constitu-
ton Of the United States spread itself over
the acquired country and CARRIED along
with it the institution of Slavery, is SO ire
concilable with any comprehension or any
reason which l possess, that hardly know
how to meet il"
Like Henry Clay, Col. Lane is for nom
intervention with Slavery where it exists
in States, and, like him, opposed to its ex,
tension. Why do you, Clay Wing,
desire his -defeat2 1t is merely because
you think that the loss of Indiana to Lin
coin may throw the election of President
into the House, where Mr.. Bell, who can
get the vote of but one State, may have
chance? Is it possible that such an infatu-
alton has seized upon you? 1t cannot be !!
Other questions than the extension of
Slavery are involved in the approaching
elections. The expenses of the National
Government must be paid. Col. Lane is the
advocate of the "Clay-W Wing" system of
doing it.. He is also in favor of the Clay
Wing " system of improving rivers and har-
bors of national Importance.

school of politicians that pursued Mr.. Clay
with the malignity ofdemons while he lived
and who now shed hypoeritical tears to his
memory. -.-..-sI .-r
Have you 10 recollection of such men Do
you not sometimes feel the blood, even as it
courses through veins now growing old, be-
come warm with Indignation at the remem-
brance You know how Mr.. Douglas de-
nounced your great chief as " black heart
ed traitor" Can you now get down so low
can you so far demean the proud spirit
that once characterized you above most men
as to lend yourself to promote his political
aspirations2- / do not believe it possible
L know that the people are told by low
and groveling demagogues that the Repub-
lican party desire to abolish Slavery in the
Slave States and to elevate the negro to a
political and social equality with the white
race; but you have too much sense to be
influenced by such miserable bosh, fit only
to be doled out to fools by infamous knaves.
The objects had in view by the Republi-
can party were proclaimed at Chicago -
They simply propose as follows:
l. Non-interference with Slavery in the
Slave States; but opposition to its extern
sion into Territories now free.
2. To procure more efficient law for the
suppression of the slave trade.
,. The admission of Kansas under her
present Constitution.
4. A revenue law, discriminating in fay-
or of home industry, for the support of the
Government.
s.. A reform in the abuses and reduc-
ton in the expenditures of the General
Government. :-.
6. A liberal homestead law for actual
settlers on the public lands.
Z. The improvement of rivers and har-
bors of national interest.
8. The speedy construction, by aid of the
General Government, of a railroad to the
Pacific.
What objection can you, "Clay Wing"
have to these measures :?
To carry them out a "Clay Whig," also
a Kentuckian, has been selected as a candi-
date for the Presidency, and yet it is said
that you are coming into our State to help
the old enemies of Henry Clay to defeat
him As think better of you, do not
believe it possible. Pray do not let so de-
basing fact blacken your memory in af-
ter times. J.D.D.
