I - OF
SENATOR BIGLER;
A CLARION, ON THE BTH CLTIIO,
to the Address of lion. Darid
deliceng at Philadelphia, on
/he Auguet.
"After giving a brief history of the
Democratic party, showing how emi
nently wise and successful its policy
had been in the pust, and how it had
nuiformly, in all its extenties, in war
or
,peace, stood by the true interests of
1.1:e, country, and had advanced its
guowth and prosperity, and elevated
the dignity and'prowess of the nation,
claiming - fbr that party a higher degree
;-).f purity, wisdom and patriotism than
worq i possessed by any similar associa
tion of men in modern times; and hay
ing:.also paid a' handsome compliment
to thb character and qualifications of
f;en. 'Packer and his associates on
the Deinocratic ticket, he proceeded as
follows : - -
Jedgis Wihnot, the Republican elm
tlidaite;.htni evinced his entire willing
ness to make his views known to the
people, and -seems quite unhappy that
the Stale Committee would not agree
tisatt- the-Deinotratic candidate should
waste his time with
_him in personal
etwatsrversy, and still more displeased
thattiho Comniittee should have sug
gested that the -discussion of the slavery
( l uestion is not essential in a guberna
torial -contest. Failing to secure the
attroetions of Gen. Packer to get up
large meetings and excitement for him,
fro •bas :bravely dashed iiito the field
alone, inn in liossession of a copy of
first address delivered at Philadel
phia oil tho ±4th ultimo, and published
ins , :the A:reit/Jig Vulletin," to the lead
i tigtfeatartia of winch I ask your atten
tion before I take my scat. I find no
Malt voth -Mr. Wilmot for appearing
the -patine to •make known his
Ylews. I think - ti4audidate for any
ottiee may properly do so. I see no
\rant, of dignity or propriety in the
practice, ifpurened in the proper spirit.
lining this no candidate properly ap
preciating his position will solicit votes;
he "will simply declare his views oil
rigndirrg, questions, foreshadowing as
vst, he eau the policy he /Oil maintain
elected, so that the intelligent elector
may vote for or against him, as may
teuw proper. But I have searched in
vista for shell foreshadowing in the late
speech of Mr. Wilmot. It is devoted
exrinsivelv to the subject of Slavery,
except only a brief reference to Isis let
ter on Americanism. State affairs
seem to, have had no attractions for
Lila. It is. an almost incredible fact
that in a loan- r• speech occupying col
umns of the Pulletin, he shonld not
1:1:Ye alluded to any one of the many
nterests which would come nnder his
eliarge.„-were he •elected governor( nor
dy . Twsed a single question connected
oath the duties of the office for which
he is a candidate, or over which the po.
li..authri - fity of the State Govern
ment could iu any way he exerted.- -
From beginning to he has talked
outside of the true purpose of his ap
pearing before the public, a n d h as fail
ed, therefore, to give the people the
paeans to decide whether he would
e u : l , ii,'good. Governor or not. He has
Is ainii,i/L.Slavery, and questions
t.301:44 (2149r4/1 . 444- nvt a word
ccrtain-
- The question is no mere abst,
tion. nor is it simply a Question of -
and wrong, a question of moral,
a question of vital practical ma
which lies at the foundation,
thing valuable to us as free+
Tou, hind the bred Seof
remarks: • - •
" And as! am onthi point, I wish to
say that I bow to th Dred Stott (-kegs
/
ion as a matter law. I raise so
!advi se
against the law, and I would never
!advise any one to do so; .but there is
I no law on earth which can bind my rea
j son or my conscience. I can and
will think, and vote for what I believe
right."
.Now let us consider the doctrines of
these quotations for a few minutes. In
the first he says we have '" no right to
j meddle with Slavery in the &ate* where
it already exs," lint that ":the Terri
! furies are the common property of ,the
Union, and we herve-the common right
to control thernif. ' lii.'3.hel-iecond he
presents the effects or Slirvery.as.:trttal
practical qteestionamvolving everytlaing
"valuable to us as freemen." And iii
the third he informs us that he "bows
Ito the Dred Scott decision as a matter
: of law."
Of coarse I agree that we, have no
right to interfere with Slavery in the
1 ~.ates, but " bowing to the Dred Scott
' Aeci.mh," how does Mr. Wilmot pro-pose to reach the institution in the Ter.

A DEMOCRATIC AND FAMILY JOURNAL.
attempted to show the people of Penn
dlvania in what •way they can apply
tie remedy. Not only this, bdt I shall
prove to you that, secOrding to his own
iThowhig, the people of a free State
have no Constitutional right to inter
fere for or against the evils-he affects to
deplore, whether in a State or Territory.
If Mr. Wilmot found it necessary to
make his address on national issues en
tirely foreign to the Executive duties,
it is to be regrettedtgat ho did not de
vote a portion of his time to his once
favorite topic, the' tariff. The old
friends of "protecion for the sake of
protection," whomfie expects tb rally
under his flag, w ld doubtlees be de
lighted to hear f Ka the man whom
they used to desi nate as the advocate
of "British free t de," the "successful
betrayer of Penn lvania's best inter
ests," and as a P vile traitor to the
State of his bill)." Possibly he could
have convince.' Nal manufaettrers-of
iron in Clariot and elsewhere, that they
are especiallj his debtors, and permit
ting flit deal past to bury its dead,
they should Nino to his rescue in this
hour of neat.. Perhaps there were
amongst hiaatiditors at Philadelphia,
' those who d assisted to give Mr Dal
las to the es in effigy, for following
the Wilmo cad on the Tariff, in 1846,
and he, hl have induced them to ro
' pent th great wrong on Mr. Dallas,
as also cir oft repeated imputations
upon li* own motives and conduct. He
cert tit y could have shown those who
ahn-ed myself and others, last spring,
for agreeing to a modification: of the
' t•irtf when wo had no power left to re
t.i,.. it, that they were unreasonable in
that complaint, or are now mistaken hi
their support of the distingnished advo
cate of "British free trade." But let
that pass; we will leave the distieguish
ed atvocate of free trade iu the onbrace
or tie protectionists, and the protec
t ion i-ts under the leadership of the dis
tingt:istred free-trader. The new alli
ance only furnishes another verifica
tion of the homely adage, that petit
it..ll a )cessity makes strange bed-fellows.
But to the speech, and I will giro
yon its best sentiment first, so that his
friends may not complain. It reads as
follows:
I hold that tinder the Constitution
of tI United States we lnive no right
to mettle directly with the question of
Sl.tvery in the States Where it already
exits; it is a State institation, and eau
only I.e controlled by State laws, and
we of Pennsylvania have no more right
to legi:late for Virginia upon the sub
ject 01 Slavery, than Virginia has the
right to lezislate for Pennsylvania on
the , m;tject 'of our Public SC hoola, But
in the ferritories the question is differ
' mit. The territories aro the common
' property of the Union, and wt: have
the common right to control thorn."
Then again, speaking of Slave.ry,,h;
says
Bowing to the Drod Scott deeision as
matter of law, it will not do to say on
ly, that "Pennsylvania has no mare
right to legislate for Virginia on the
suect Of Slavery, than Virginia has to
legislate for Pennsylvania on the sub
ject of Public Schools." Mr. Wilmot
cannot stop at this point; he must, and
does virtually agree -b,,r that " bow "
that neither Pennsylvanta nor Virginia
has any right to legislate for Kanses or
Nebraska, on either subject, end they
have no power to interfere for or agein4t
the institutions of the Territories di
rectly- or indirectly. The citizens of
each may go to Kansas, and when bum
yule residents, they can give effect to
their will. He or I can do this; but
as eitizehae4.this State we cannot influ
ence the questioirin either Kerning Or
Virginia. Prior to the Dred Scott de
eieion, the Republican party contended
for the power of Congress over the
subject-in the Territories; lint that de
cision has settled the question against
them, and has closed the last channel
throneh which the free States could
reach the question. It has swept away
the entire stock in trade of the Re
publican agitators; the Missouri line,
tke Wilmot proviso, and every other
schenfe of Congressional Anterfetence.
They have no occasion longer to seek
even the election of anti-Shivery men
to Congress, for that body cannot touch
the question. Their long cherished bu
siness of agitation is therefore gone—
gone forever.—Wherein, then, is the
fitness of Mr. Wilmot's inflammatory
addresses about Slavery, to the exclu
sion of every other topic. Having no
power over the sulject, it cannot he of
vital practical importanee in Pennsyl
e-eeia, mileqs, indeed, Mr. W. in --hiafe
verish sensitiveness, has allowed Wm
sele*to emiclude that some ‘. dough-fac

allude to the sultjec4 of slavery, but
Mr. Wilmot insists that measures which
have been declared unconstitutional
shall be recognized issues in the Guber

could be made available to the country '
and insists that the people should take

lie says that:Virginia has' the, same

Slavery in Virginia; and:that is trite;

that. the , Democracy • were more the

wiAcd to have her people perfeetlY free

maintaining that she could come , in, 110

Mr. Walker, the bitter fends dividing
the people of that territory, will be
happily settled, and Kansas be brought
into the Union on principles perfectly
eonsistent with the organic act. In
this effort Governor Walker will be sus

myself, I have believed thaUthe spirit

But 1 have been wandering from my
text, and neglecting the IZ4.Tablican can
didate for Governor. I wish to make
one more extract from his speech and
then I shall have done. It is one of his
best gems, and reads as follows. , ,„
"With respect to the labor question,
it is alleged by the Democracy that we
have no'sympathy for free tvinte lalw)r
and that our tears tire exhausted on the
black man. Now I leave the chivalry
ofthe South to the noble oilke of kiclang
negroc.. God has laid a heavy hand on
theta, and I sock not to press tho'eurse
harder upon them. The chivalry may
have all the glory of horse-whipping wo

may t,ragaple their rights under foot, if
they, please, kiut I tell you that the in
