Northern people will be amazed wien tney
J find that the Convention has bv SOFT OF u''
claimer abandoned this very doctrine CT al
least leftit to double and doubtful con'lI'c-
ton North and South.
True it is very little negro which Por
ton OF the Northern democracy propose 10
use in the elections, by means Of the terrltori-
al Wiimot proviSo and they assure US 1t IS
not the full grown abolition negro ofthe IRE
pressible conflict which they mean to adopt.
And, therefore, they tell the democracy that
1t will really do no harm to take this little
negro in their arms and nurse him, and pre-
sent him to the people in those districts
where he may help get enough abolition voters
to bring about plurality and affect some
district and State elections,
But will this be fair to the democracy or
fair even to The republicans ? for if it is right
to exclude slavery by territorial prohibition it
must he right to do it by congressional prohI-
bitten: and the Supreme Court has decided
that both are equally violative Of the tonsu-
tuition. And hence if there is ri ht in this
doctrine of barring out the South from the
| Territories, the republicans are surely the
| most right in claiming sovereignty in Congress
| to he exercised entire and utter exclusion
| Therefore ! say let them have the large negro
of congressional prohibition and the little negro
o! territorial prohibition, and the whole negro
| in this contest and let democrats and conser-
vative Mon men uphold the equal rights and
the constitutional government Of white men
who made it. We will not have the negro
as an element of political uower in Congress
or in Territory, and that is the only clean ma
| tional platform the democracy can stand up
on, and proclaim as it hitherto has DONE the
| same Universally Of doctrine for all sections
Of the land-East, West, North and South
viz the equality of rights of all property in
| the Territories to all the citizens OF all the
States settling there
| And how is that equality to be preserved,
tionizing Territories, you put It in the power
of single State to send out It's trained emf
grants to every Territory as fast as it is Or
ganiZed, and by Selling on the elections Of the
legislature and securing two thirds OF the
members, exclude from every Territory the
citizens Of fifteen States
1t is this element Of forced abolition colon-
zation which has changed the entire aspect OF
the question as to Territory regulating or
restricting the institution Of slavery before it
becomes State.
When the question was first agitateI the !
North and South both agreed to non -interven-
ton. either to establish slavery or to prahibit
slavery in the Territories That was demo
cratic intervention" then, and it is dem
ocratic intervention now AMI as to
protection of propalt Y in the Territories. all
agreed that the Court should decide, and in
the mean time the people were TO form and
regulate their dom este institutions in their
own way, subject only to the Constitution OF
the United States. And there all were viii
ling to leave the settlement Of the Territories
IN good faith to the adaptation of soil and
climate, to demand and supply and TO the
natural laws of emigration and the great law
of self-interest. But, instead OF this, there
arose this forced and hired political emigration
of armed bands of aboltionists to seize upon
territorial legislatures and fasten their doc
trines upon them; and out Of this came
conflict and civil war and the threatened dis
memberment of the Union. And moreover
the Supreme Court has decided that terrific
rial legislature has no power to prohibit slsve-
ry until it becomes a State. And now, TO save
the country from these terrible sectional con-
flicts, there is no safe remedy, no fair play
in the settlement of new Territories, no law OF
the land, but Intervention By the Terrific
~, and the equal protection of all the rights
of property of all the citizens settling therein,
until the sovereignty Of the people begins in
the act OF forming Constitution for the
State
This is our popular sovereignty"--the So
vereignty OF all the people against the squat
ter sovereignty of Aid Emigration Abolition
Societies-and who can say it is not right and /,
just and constitutional and peaceful and con-
sentative in all its elements
1t is this protection OF law against violence
in the settlement of Territories which the !
peace and the Union of the country demand,
and by which we mean to. abide in our ma
t;onality. 1t is the great democratic princi- |
pie of justice to all, upon which, since the
foundation of the Government, territory has
been acquired, and new States admitted into
the Union with or without slavery, as they
chose, until this great empire Of States has
been expanded TO the measure Of its present
and prospective greatness.
lfdemocrats will all agree to bear aloft that ma
tional banner we shall have no disuuion, South
or North, for there will be injustice 10 either
section to impel to diSunion. And though
the clouds of division now seem to be gather
ing over US, and our opponents begin to exult
that in this division they viii find success. yet
these clouds must pass away, for the Provi-
dence that has guided our fathers will not ut
terly leave the councils of the people AMI
the Northern and Southern democracy, b.
fore defeat if they are wise, or after it if they
must needs be taught by that stern lesson,
viii. as in days past. when for sixty yeas
they shaped the destinie1 and guided the Gov
ernment of these United States. again unite
and achieve new political victories, acquire
new Territories and establish new States in
this glorious Union, until this whole continent
Of North America shall be ours.
