TeYas-bec1use they eame U us s"'0"o'"
l;no-tbere was no question OF leg"lizlog
Slavery, but of restricting or eradicaung
=. Int now We come to nnDex'Dg Jree
,.,,;tory. we cannot consent 10 curse It by pIsnt-
ing Slavery thereon. Iiand'"h, If you please !:
&, the House adopted the Wilmot Provifo-
only three Democrats from Free States DISSENT
inc: az it soon after repeatedly refused to e1-
tend the line of $50 so westward TO the Pac'-
6c by q similar vote. And yet ~hen' 10"
years later, the Slave Power said: "Pus tha'
line of 3Go 80 straight through, and guarantee
10 peaceful possession of all south OF " ior
Slavery. or We dissolve the Union and make
war upon you" every Northern Democrat
not only succumbed himself, but actually set 10
abusing us Republicans for net dong likewise
Here, then, is the vital truth, when no
American statesman has right to ignore:
Uhaf,r,r Slarery shall choose to ask, that Sham
D,moeraey ,oM get ready to eoncede. The only
question is one Of time. Already We see the
Wood Democrats OF our State formally adopt
ipp the Calhoun Notification theory OF State
Rights, State Sovereignty, and the lack OF con-
stitutional power in the Union to coerce
State-doctrnes which have been unanimously
aud emphaticaly repudIat,d BY our Democrnc!
from Jack.on's day TO the present. Ii It shall
seem necessary. in order to put Slavery IN the
right. We shall have the other Democratic fac
ton indorsug those doctrines yet; for there Is
nothing that our Sham Democracy Will NOT do
III the interest or at the beck Of Slavery.
Notification aud Disunion are two very bitter
do.cs; hut it has sto mach even for these. Al.
it asks is time.
Now. when this struggle for the Union
began--nay, long before 1t became struggle
ou,rlcht-we saw and felt that the Democratic
party ,roud not be loyal in contest so vltall}
affecting the Slave Power. We ielt that ths
party would never enter heartily mic tue war
for the Union, and would seize the earliest
prcteYt Tor backing out Of II altogether and
ranging its force on tho side OF the enemy.
Hence we would gladly have let the Cotton
States go if they would have united IN calling
u Convention which aione wonld have power
10 let them 60; aud We have at various times
looked wishfuily for Peace through arbitra-
,on or otherwise. when our friends could
onl, tcek IT through military success. For We
could not bu. feel that the Democratic party
never earnest and hearty IN upooldlng and
orosecuting the War for the Union. wO1'd
snatch eagerly at the earliest preteXt for back
ing clear out Of i, and throwing oil possible
Ne ~, INTO the scale of the public enemy.
