Of all classes; of public men, those are the most
despicable, Who having been honored and distin
guishelOyalisonfaling people, use the poeirion they
Occupy, AS ;11i#Selltient only to the gratification of
personal ambition- With such, no measure, how
ever affecting the interest, of the country for good,
has their sanction, until it is first ascertained wheth
er it meetstbe approbation of those who have pow
er and patrohage. • ' , I
Itt•
Our Country has suffered Immeasurably by Buell
men; they . ,ave contributed, more than all other
canes teleasen the bond of our Union, and dimin
ish.eonfitienc.e in Ilitt predic t ability of a Repeblican
form of gordiummt. Throughthem, the people are
reproached,' and. often made V hewers of wood,
and draw* of water.r In no instance, upon a
great question, has there been such a combination
of effort to cheat lied hoodwink the people of the
North, as op dim affecting the edensicm of. Slavery.
Scarcely an eleeltor of either party in the North,ean
be found,, Who ie not opposed to the 'further exten
sion of Slavery; and who, never by their votes,
will countenance a Measure so repugnant to hu
manity. It is useleits iredeny this. No"man in the
North, dare go before the people ; and plead the
cause of propagating, slavery; the indignation
would be , overwhelming. Notwithstaediag this,
we aroold that the people are opposed to the agi
tation of file subject ; nag that they are,willing the
South should extend human slavery over Free Soil.
Jt is a •libel—a",gross and infamous libel upon the
Free States.
• We are aware that the action of the people on
this subject, has been limited; but why is it so ?
The reason is found in the truth of what we have
said of certain public men, who calculate on the
promises of the futif?e to themselves alone. The
task is allotted them, of being speciaj pleader's, in
attempting to draw the people obi'on some other
issue than the true clue. For this purpose they
raise great constitutional question ; the question on
lite rights of the South ; the Compromises of the
Constitution; the Missouri Compromise; the ha
practicability of the, Proviso ; an the incorporation
of newldoctinea in the Democratic' creed. Such
are theilssides, dra g ged in for no other possiblemo
tire than to mislead and deceive the People r on
the real merits - of a measure, of vital consequence
to tem. Thus are the people prevented from act
ing, and are made, nnlens volens, to sustain
mei
sures, a true apprehension .of which, would - be
abominable to then:.
,
What the Constitution to do with the ques
tion of extending - slavery into newly acquired and
free territory ! No man, claiming to knoW the
Constitution can be sincere,, who interposes it as an
objecttion ; he can have no other object than to mis
lead and prevent the ffee action of the people. The
ronfineenf davery were fixed on the adoption of
the. Constitution : it was with great difficulty that
most;ofthe framers of it consented to tolerate sla.
very iwithin the original thirteen States. Its exten
sion yeas never contemplated. The hlissouriCorn
pternise—was the effect of resistance to the en
croahments of slavery. It drove slavery back
front territory where it was allowed. If it was i con
i
milli 'one! to do this, is it not as much so to say it
shat not be extended to territory where it does not
filial If it was constitutional to declare, as by the
Ordinance of 'B7, that "neither slavery nor invol
untary servitude should exist in the North Western
Tenitory," is it not equally so, to declare that it
shallnot pxist in any territory similarly situated I
Why is it, that since the period of the Continental
Cengress, the right to legislate -concerning Slavery
in the Territories, has been recognized, and yet
now, by some political /sows pocus, it is discovered
. that to approve the extension of Slavery, is uncon
stitutional and impracticable ! If so, there has been
much tmconstitstional and impracticable legislation
on this subject. The present question, however,
differs matt.rially from any other that has arisen
concerning Slavery. They sought the restriction
of slavery, where A was allowed; this is not to re
strict, but to prevent its extension to territory where
it does not exist, and ii not allowed. , We wish our
readers to note, and \ lemember this difference.—
We repeat, then,if it was constitutional and practica
ble to legislate for-the restriction of Slivery,, where
by law it might and did ,exist, is it not equally so,
to legislate against its extension to territory where it
woes net exist?
It is depkrttle, that a question of this mag,ni
vile,.so deeply and inseparably connected with the
Oterests of Free Labor, should be strangled, by
those, entnisted by the people, whom they are
misleedhig. Will not the' people call them to au
' Sam; or instruct them as to their duty I. Most cf
'the frew'states, through their Legislatures„ and
membernsnf
.Congress, took a (inn and decided
stand'against the further extension of Slavery. • In
a short time, hcivrfiver,we find many of these Con
gressmen okinging ground ; and that too, without
imiituillitluly.tienson. Within a few months, their
vutus-Arlt 111%411 for and ng , funt,it.
01 4.nri's Pat, (03-3413 i like thisy cats possibly

foe the change! , \lt is preposterous. No alterna
tive is lea us, iiNat to attribute the change tfiLcornyt
motives; profereirtce.tather to preserve friendly re
lations with those, in poker.- to a free discharge of
duty.
'Fur the present, this scheme may succeed, but
the people Are destined to decide the question:—
Wes:ism bettideJ. ,The people of,the North never
will consent that this Republic—this home of Free ,
40m—shall be the Mummy of Slaves for Free Soil.
The Slave trade is not.. morn abhorrent, than the
abcrmittable busbiess of breeding slaves for baffle,
And yet, we are asked to acquire free territory by
the treasure ! and lives of freemen ; to extend to it
human slexpry, that thereby the old Slave States
may finds home market for the stock they are
raising. Such the true state of this question ;
•
and such will be its practical 'results, vales, the
people declare for Free Labor. That they 'aril; do
this, we have no dortbt, unless the prerogative of
action 'id denied them.

Resolved, Thai the fundamental principles' of the
Democratic party are, to shield from encroachments
the reserved saversigaly of each State, and the so
vereign power of thepeople—to mahrtsiu inviolate
the constitutional equality f all American
citizens
to ,;norantee the libetty, safety, property, and pun
suits of The sovereign people end to (migrate evegy
meditated departure from the termsand stipulations
of the nation il compact.
Resoked, That under the anspie' esof the Demo.
eratic party, our country has become prosperous,
powerful and respected by rill the nations of the
earth. In two ware, notwithstanding the moral
treason of -a port= of our citizens, our soil has
been redeemed from the pollution of an enemy's
fix*, and her brows have been encircled with an
unfailing chaplet of victory and unsullied honor.
Those who are familiar with the conflict in this
Congressional District, in '46, on the issue of a ta
riff for protecrion, or a tariff for - revenue, will be
enrerused to learn, that these resolMioss eamnsted
from-a committee, of which-be, editor of the 4 ‘ Ti
cga Eagle," war chairman. If we credit him now,-
what disposition is to be made of his coarse in '46 ;
one gives the lie to the other. Can'it be, that opposi
tion io the Proviso, has such a marvellous cleans
ing power, as toeipn out all the stains of treachery,
and make " simon pure" democrats of those who
a short time 43, were opposit4 Democratic prin
ciples, and denouncing "Executive dictation," in
regard to the Tariff of 1846 ? It is "strange, passing
strange,.' that after the disasters that have befallen
the DemOcracy, by enemies of their own house
hold, men and presses, cawbe encouraged, in a
business of sheer piracy. Of all occupations the
most contemptible, is that of a political journal ? of
such easy conscience as to mould principles in a
shape to jusifjr themselves in contradictory posi
tions. -Plunder, and not principle, should be the
declared, and not the concealed motto in their flag.
The'reiolutions are right; with one exception.—
We respond to them most heartily—we- 4tepe :the
Democracy of the Union will never depart from
them. But, was it reserved for the Democracy of
Toga, to declare its principles through a`man, who
as the editor of a professed Democratic Journal,
was the first to desert and betray our cause ; who
constantly and zealously advocated the right of Con
gress to legislate for capital ; to pass laws highly
protective to certain classes, and , which were a
bold infringement on the sovereignty of the States?
Laws, the effect of which had once caused a rup.
ture, which threatened the di4memberment of the
Union ! Do not these things have a tendency to
bring our party into contempt, and are we not all
made to bear a portion of the odium? We hearti
ly despise a venal politician ; there is net a more
ftmdamedal principle of Democracy, than integri
ty; with it we triumph; abandon it, and we are
abandoned.
We said there was an exception to the resolu
tions.; we allude merely„ to what arecal:ed " the
fundamental principles of the Democratic party."
If by this, is meant the fundamental principles of
Democracy, we suggest wtether those principles
did hot exist before the United States ,was dreamt
of; and declared in the inimitable instrument,
,which reprnted the .rights and equality of man, and
announced the separation of the colonies from the
Mother Country.
Death of Sehaior Fatraeld.
Hon. JOAN' FAIRFIELD, Senator from State of
Maine, died suddenly at Washington on Friday,
December 24th. A 'correspondent of the Herald
says :
Mr. Fairfield has been suffering for a long time
from a diseased leg. A year ago he had a surgi
cal operation made upon it, which relieved him,
without causing any immediate inconveuiencei—
On Friday morning, having the advantage of the
adjournment over to Monday, for:repose, he seiz
ed the occasion again to call in his physician to re
peat the incision, from which be received such
benefit in the first experiment. The-eperalionWas
accordingly made by Dr. Magruder, the physician
in the first instance. During the day, Dr. May was
called its, but in the mean time a powerful solution
had been applied to the wound, the necessity of the
case doubtl es s suggesting some such stiraulous to
the nervous system in a direct application to the
seat of the, disease. But the symptoms rapidly be
came more alarming, and although every thing that
the best medical skill aitd experience recommend
ed 'ti7.4:" promptly supplied, the patient's sufferings
continued to increase till about
,7 o'clock this even
ing, when in great agony he expired. It was but
Thursday that Mr. Fairfield reported; in pursuance
of the President's recomatendaticnus the bill for the
appointment of assistant pursers in the navy. As
chairman on naval affairs, he has been industrious,
well informed, and useful, in a high degree, to the
deliberations of the Senate. Re. %coda modest and
a valuable man, am i d the public,, in u hitn, have lost
another faithful gamut. Within the short space of
a year, Pen.nypablier, of Viraiuja,. Barrow, of Lou
isiana, Speight, of Missimippi,.Huntington, of Cop
necticut, and Fairfield, of.M4iite, pf the Senate,
have died. Mr Fairffeld,we ihould suppose, was
about stiy yeans of age. He was sinali in stature
and of a delicate frame, much Neakened for Tong
time past from the disease wbieh bas ‘ll:ttaaudOett

Dr. Darlington President of the Chester_ county
Bank, was abouti to leave the broad street depot, in
the train of cars for Westchester, he discovered that
a small valise containing the sum of :1.51,100, which
he had received on account of the institution, over
which he presides, had been stolen from him.
The time which elapsed between his getting into
the car with the valise in his hand and his first mis
sing it, was so short, that the thief must have been
remarkably dexterous, the whole operation, as we
are informed, not occupying two minutes.
Dr. Darlington at once repaired to the mayor's
office, and Col. Swift and his entire, police force,
immediately employed thems.elves in the necessary
steps to track the vilhan.
There has been no little sensation in the city, cre
ated by this high handed robbery, in open day, of so
large a sum of money s at a time when so many per_
