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

.:. e,
Sir, we are :not without examples_ano pre
cedents for one guide. 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The law of Slivery was repealed, and the law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

Now, the etkrnal perpetuation, and utilimited

if not the '"of:0 idea" of the South. n order

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.

pciinaded, be superegatory or unprofitable to
indtdge in a few reflections on the Mature and
extsnt, of the victory we have, with considers-

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. We al
-80 &member the excuses of the Federalists for

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

Idefiance of such odds, and notwithstanding that
oukparty lies scarcely recovered from a. most
unfortunate division, we have more than re

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

it "May appetr invidious, we.cannot refrain from
