MO AT of the Conititution. From what I , have said, it will be!ieen that I agree with Mr. 13 u•! chanan, when he says in hisletter to dm de4 moeracy of Saks county, "That the subject of slavery by thck 'Constitution, is left to the Stotts 'whereat slavary exists but I cannot follow Lim in his conclusion, that therefore, the subject of slairi in the Trrituries of the Union, wherecit does, not exist, is beyond our control. 114 x we mayiawfully erect barriers .against its e4roachment ; and this is all,that the Proviso prVfessel to do. Surely, Mr. 80.- , elnnan wouldiot argue, that the Slave:States alone, have thi exclusive control of the sub ject of "slave4r, throughout the length and breadth of thejerritories of this Union. Yet it is such a cotitruction of the Constitution on- ,ly, that will warrant the conclusion he aims to establish. Ifthis'be the true interpretation 4/ frof the Constittition, why talk to na about"the ••Missouri Contromise," or anything else con nected with Stitvery? We have nailing' tn do with it. The Slave States will rightfully We pose of the sulOect as they may think . .No,` sir, this•ittnot the true intent and m of the Censtitlition, nor does Mr. Buie desire so to hi ; nfiderstood ; yet the con i usion lie would hate us adopt, can be suppor ..s:lAby other - conitruetion. It was slavery "rt the :St.ttits,' that* the Constitution was eft to the "States where it existed:" Here • the locus in quo--4tiere the limits and the biunda ries,,'withirt which, by the Constitution, eao Ste* for itself has the exclusive and supreme control over ihe subject of slavery. This is the "agtpemenj, our fathers made." IV this "solemn coiaptet" I eheerfallj; abide. \\thin theseititd boundaries" I hold tha, the , ;.- -General goy ~,. ment is powerless, & the Slates 4111 powerful Liyer the question of slavery.; i But sir, wheal t e - question is presented, of the ex c tension an prvpagation of slavery' over; - the TERIIrFOR sl o t' this Union, espeeiallylfree territory, I el4im the right for all the States, and the whole: - American people, to' be heard.— The settlemerit of - such a question, belOngs to the whole Union, and not tea part.

Our fathers at au ear-• ly day, 'had this same question in bead. It may be Frofitahle in these days of "cOnprai • anise' to see *hat compromise they glade with slavery. In 1 4 787, an Ordinance was passed) by which slavgry was forever excluded froni the territory north and west of the Ohio. —1 This Ordinance boUnd every foot of land then belonging to tie Nation. This is the "com promise" they'ernacle. The Northwestern Ter • ritory had beep ceded to the General govern ment by Virgibia, a slave state. The law of Slavery extensied over 'it at the time of the Cession, and ill some parts of it slaveiy actu-• ally' existed ;: . 'et upon every inch, did our fa thers impose the seal of Freedom. Here was ABOL IT lON-44 in States, but in Territory.— The law of Slivery was repealed, and the law of Freedom established. The Proviso does not even propose .',f.to do this. ' Its sole object is to prcserre thel:ew of Freedom; not to abrogate the law of Slatery. Abe first Congress under the Constitution, recognized the validity 'of the Ordinance of $7, acid famed laws to give it 'force and effe4. It hail received the votes of every Repire4btative from the Slave States.— The article int.!, it, excluding" Slavery, bad been i i "incorporateda similar Ordinance, drawn up by Mr. jeffergon, in 1784. The language of . the ''Proviso, is substantially the language of the Ordinance; of 1784, as drafted by Thomas Jefferson. ''...:; • Sir, the h4tory of the Ordinance of 1787, , when contrasted with the opposition made to the Proviso, 4 xhibits a melancholy and alarm ing change it(the public opinion of the , Soutb, between thattday and the present, upon subject of slaiery., The fathers of the Repub lic saw and ickaawledge:d the evils and dan gers of this i'; Institution. They covenanted not to interfeie with it in the States where it existed ; but;'in Territories, its existence even, did not stay'heir hands. They looked for -ward with arptions solicitude to' the day, when 'slavery, left; nmolested in its early limits, would wear ifs° t out. by the laws 'of popnla ) Coo, and thefo cult natural eauScs, then in active operate They made no 'effort to weaken the fbree Of this law, or tostporie the Tesult,of these causes, by widening be field 1 in which they. wer'e to operate, and th s, put ting off to a :;-',more distant day, our nal re . demption fr# the curse of Negro Slarery.— Now, the etkrnal perpetuation, and utilimited -extension of Lavery, has become the, eading, if not the '"of:0 idea" of the South. n order to perpetuate Slavery, for all coming me, its limits must tie extended, as the slave ern's i tion increase . 'The old lands, exha ed and made barrenby slave' labor, must be a ' ndore ed for new slid virgin soil ; otherwise tle slave . 'becomes valfteless, and emancipation o neces sity follows. t.,.. The value given to slat - labor, by the new end fertile regions open for it, serves also iii, give value o' the Slave in, the ; old States—th 4 retarding the progress of gra4ndal ~,e . emancipatieff in them. If slave labor prof itable on thii Western sido of this e tinent, 'for the prod fiction of the staples .of co, ton,)su _gar, tobacco; rice &:.e. ; although thesii staples can no long oi be produced or only to 01 limited extent, in tlili Atlantic States; still the glare of those States is madeyaluable, as ail article of stock to $e there raised, for the miarket in the distant rest. Slavery is a questin of in terest. It-fill exist so ronz, and no lelnger, as it. is a souretof profit to the master. Keep it -within tiveilimits, -and in time, there will be such an abtOdance of slate latiOr, fro thein erease of slaie population; and the fi ld of its ; ' profitable latter will, at the same time; become . so narrewect.

Why this , call was made upon the Democracy 'of Penn sylvania, lum at - a_loss .to conceive. It can ! not hp, that the Secretary of State, desired to 'incoorate the doctiine, of ,the "extensi on of Slavery over , free Territory" into the Dena I erotic creed. • If so, .t for one will' submit to ,no interpolation upon the creed. Who made him a "Judge in Israel 7" The practice has been too mach encouraged heretofore, of. permitting a certain class ofistl-' /,deism), to make every question that arosei aa- Janie a party character. The South, haying within her borders a ntajority of the Demo-,I eratie party, has from time to time, forreedup-1 on As, as party issues, questions having not the slightest referen le to party priocipl.— This was done on the Texas question. Sir, I was in favOr of that,measure. I earne.itlyad- " 1 vocated it before the! people, and voted for it in Congress. I have Ito regrets for aught I.done. If it were to be done over, again, I should do the same : but it never should have been n; ade a party. question. the principles that di4de, as by a broad boundary, Democracy from li:ted erelistn, existed long before the question of Texas Annexation ; v neither are they subject to constant mutation. Yet the annexation of Texas was made a test of party fidelity. Be; cause Mr. Vim Buren would not square him self by this rule of party discipline, he tins 'struck down ,tit the Baltimore Confention,:u-n -der the operatidii of - -a two-thirds rule. Ido not complain; of the choice that Convention made; Indeed, the apprehensions I entertain ed of Mr. Van Buren s defeat, at that time. reconciled rob to Mr. f'olk's nomination. But sfr, 1 never Could reflect upon the fact, without shame and!mortification, that a great Beim mat* Statesman of the North, -whomwe had made: the Standard-bearer and Representative i °four principles, should be struck down by the South, becatthe he halted upon a question, in no way affecting the established and fixed ririn aiples or oar. creed. If Northern men:- or themDemocrats, will longer stand by in si lence And see their. best and ablest men-immo lated by the South, - for not marching'up tolany and every issue they cboose,to make, then in deed, is the Northern Democracy, but the ad - linnet and tool of the South. , Sir, I entertain no hostility to the South.— I have been taught in her School; I hate fear - ned my political faith from the lessons of her great Statesmen. Upon most of ihe great questions thit have divided parties— particalar- ly those affecting the powers of the General government, and the rights of the States, I be lieve the South has been right. I claimo be' a Democrat of the Jefferson schoor—a S ates Right Ilepublican—a Strict Constructidnist, "alter the most straitest sect!" I revere the Veto Message of General 'Jackson, as a!text book of party principle, while I repudiate the doctrines of the Proclamation. But sir, 1 be cause the South has been eminently correct on, most great questions, that gives to her no right to force new issues upon the party. it . the South can succeed, in making the "extension of _ _ Men, lung maw slavery over free Territory." a party qhes tion; as she did the re-annexation of Texas, it will make horucthing of a change in the Party relations of men. If all who oppose this "new I test and touch-stone of party fidelity, are to be converted into Whigs, certainly those who pup port it, will be transformed into Democrats.— It is.fortunate for Silas Wright, the noblest democrat of his age, that he died, before' this transformation had taken place with him.— Henry Clay, after straying in search of strtinge gods, for a quarter of a century, will return to the fold of the parjy. Tinder such a test he might become the candidate of the Demodratic party for President in 1848, and thus home men! be caught in a trap they had set foci oth ers. I trust ever to be found standing firm upon my principles as a Democrat., I Value that;, & have thus far maintained them theeugh life ; 1 but I will adopt no such issue, as that now .attempted to be imposed upon the Democ racy of this State. I will submit to no such teats Let those receive the yoke who choose td wear it. It shall never gall my neck.

At least we shall, in our teeble way, hazard I theEexPeriment„' q 1 whatever aspect we view it, we regard the result of the late canvass in this county as of mope than ordinary importance. It, is not mere-' ly that the Democratic party hi triumphed, bas secured the election of its entire eQunty and representative tickets, and helped. materi; ally to swell the vast preponderance of Dem-_ amide votes in the State, but it is a knowledge of tihe circumstances under which this triumph watt achieved, and' the recollection of the con dit,sn and strength of our party one year, two J ye:4s, and three years ago, that lends to the preient Teality the principal part of its charm. 1:t Will he remembered that in-1844, Gov, .Shilnk , s majority in this county was 839, or fi fifty less than his - majority this year.

'repiat, by "f rau d u l en t sotmg, 9, by the "igno- rant. Irish," as they pettishly dubbed natural ized voters, &c., with what &Terence to truth, theresult this fall shows. It is true that at ' thai time we polled - nearly our entire - vote.— Bat how has it been this year, and what is the a• conclusion to which the result inevitably gives risti? Instead of a full vote as in '44, we find upsin comparing the returns, that in the five Itownships in which nearly all the adopted citi-1 zetis of this county reside—Apalachian, Cho- i :coliut,iForest Lake, Middletown and Silver ILatte—we are actually minus one hundred and fift* . votes, (more than that number of Demo eraiie voters from those townships being but of the county, on the public works,) and yet 1 4 out majority, contrary to the above Whig toi -1 vacio, and in spite of their most subtle ',rid de;erate efforts, is increased fifty ! Tbis is i - s 1 thi : way Democracy is "running down" the jpelple's necks]. in old Susquebanna. Ye in Idefiance of such odds, and notwithstanding that oukparty lies scarcely recovered from a. most unfortunate division, we have more than re -pe.ited our majority,' and given thereby indubi talge assurance that we are capable of doing it lagiita ad infinitum. We assure our friends, !wliether at hoMe or abroad, that Susquehanna is itood for her present majority under almost i arif circumstances, and can roll up a "cool th(p i isand" when the occasion requires it. We say.' this not boastingly but because it is emi- n4tly true ;There is one other consideration resulting friiin r- this view of our condition as a,party, that isJif generalapplication, and which, although it "May appetr invidious, we.cannot refrain from mOtioning. It is the fact that upon that vi tatquestion of the Tariff we have ever taken the oIOY correct Democratic ground : iiz, tfiat of t liber*we',revenue policy, which, perbapsi is the al, revenue trite secret of our present prosperitiy and 1 stiengtb.
