Lieut.. a. R. Abbott, Of Warehouses; Battery.
He was one Of the first Of the three months

What has been the past action Of the
Democratic party with regard to the slave
ny question: Has it not always declared,
in its platforms, that "Congress has no
power, under the Constitution, to interfere
with or control the domestic institutions
Of the several States and Territories" p
Did not Douglas and many other promi-
nent Democrats subscribe to this doctrine?
Can men still claim to be Democrats who
indorse LiRcoln's interference pOlicy-a
policy antagonistic to fundamental prin.
ciple of the Democratic creedp Are they
standing by the old landmarks Of the
Democratic partyS a departure from its
creed ard a war upon its principles make
them enemies In the Democratic Ma
tional Convention Of 1910, and at every
subsequent National Convention, inclu.
ding those held in Baltimore in 1860, the
following resolutions were passed:
" Resolged, That Congress has no power, uu-
der the Constitution, tIl interfere with Or con
troll the domestic institutions Of the several
States and Territories, and that such States are
the sole and proper judges of everything per-
tanning TO their own affairs, not prohibited by
the Constitution.
" Resoired, That all efforts by Abolitionists
or others, made to induce CORgress Ia interfere
with questions Of slavery, or to take incpient
steps IN relation thereto, are calculated to lead
to the most alarming and dangerous consequent
ces, and that all such efforts have the inevitable
Tendency 10 diminish The happiness uf the get
pre- anu endanger the pcrnlnndncy ct the Union,
and ought not To be count enanced by any friend
OF our political Institutions"
How true were these resolutions, and
how unfortunate for the American people
that they discarded them for the Chicago
Platform which was based upon the oppo.
site idea. Had they Endorsed the one and
rcpudiatcd the other, our country to-day
would be united, prosperous and
contentrd. But demaSogucs of the Sew.
ard, Lincoln and Trumbull school, and
fanatics Of the Sumner, Greeley and John
Brown order, declared that freedom and
slavery were Incompatible, and that they
were determined to wipe out" the latter;
and they organized party expressly for
that purposc-exprcssly for the purpose
of breeding discussions and YSSSS>SSins
hostilitcS between the free and slave
States The people were warned that the
efforts Of the dcmagogueS and fanatics
were calculated to lead to the most
alarming consequences. but they needed
not the warning. They wanted a change.
They had prospercd under Democratic
rule and their prosperity made them care
less and indifferent Without reflection
and regardless of warnings, reiterated for
thirty years by the YdSeSt and purcst
statesmen of the Union, they resolved to
try the Republican experiment, and they
are now rcaping the bitter and blasting
consequences of that unfortunate expert
ment.

The monomaIhacs who would play a John

81 tne army, cu,Mma""ers Of mliltary de-
partmcnts, Senator's and members of Con-
grcsS, a powerful party and some mem
beers of the Cabinet, at least, for leaders
and hackers, which We suppose is not the
case with the "profrsSed thieves" The
former also have newspapers Of large in
nnence, and numerous allies in every
State, which fact makes them much more
to be feared and more dangerous to the
uubic interest than the protested
thieves. In the city Of Nashville, follow
ers of the Federal army sing vile Adolf
ton songs, without rebuke, which is cal
cnlatcd to irritate il not estrange loyal
Southern men, whose feelings are entitled
to some respect. 1t is much easier to ex-
aspcratc than to conciia;e the South, and
those in authority seem determined to
pursue the former course.
