THE GREAT QUESTION OF THE DAY. THE KANSAS CONTROVERSY. The Northern No-Slavery and the Southern Pro- Slavery Factionists, Speech of Sevator Trumbull, of Illinois, Nigger Worshipper. Letter of Hon.

Comeervative Polley of the Administration, ke. &o. bs Views of the Chicago Oatly Democrat, (Re- Ppublican,) Friday July 3, 1857. . THE WARK BRGUN—SPEKCH OF IUDGR TRUMAULL. the campaign was opened by Mr Douglas tn bis speech @f June 12,10 whisb he took occasion to perform a@ not very grac: fal romersault on the question of popular sove- reienty. He laid down bis plans, which he expects bis faithful parasites will attempt to carry out. As bis osrti- vane bave heretofore followed biw through all his windings apd changes, it is expected that they wil not falter now Ghat he bas mate a new draft upon ther subservien ty. We observe that Dongias’ rpesch is copied by the tlavery prese in ot er States, and endorsed. It may therefore, be regarded as the key note of the campaign, upon which, it seems, we are thus early entering. The forces of the slave po ver are being marshalled aad drilled Jt becomes the friends of and humanity, Cherefore, to take the toitiatory in perfecting a full, thorough and efficient organization throngh. out’ the country. Although there if a proba py thet Kanear will eventnally escape the vurse of slavery intended for her, yet the foes of liberty are not idle, They are till determinedly bent uoon the spread of ‘human oprression, and wil! epare no efforte in their cra wade against freedom and the rightsof man Urged on by ambition, avarice, and the whole brood of evi! passions, itis to be expected that they will be relentless and uno. serepulous io their warfare. We bave sireaty given the epeech of Hon. A. Lincoln in 7 to thet of Mr a ‘We commence to-day the pobdlication of the speech of Jadge Trumball, which wae delivered wp Springfield om the 29th, being a cont nation Of the cironseion. This speech is, like all the efforts of ‘Tiinote’ able and faithful Senator, a tricmpbant vindication of great demorratic principles and doctrines, of which he ‘bas been «8 lifelong champion and advocate ; principles which bave J+fferson for their originator, and the great democra ic party ar their euvporter up to within two or three years past, when Donglias and the nullifiers attempted to revolutionize ‘that party, and make ft false to all the landmarks of the onst. In allvding to this speech, the Springfleld Journal save that according to appointment Senator Trumbull spoke in ‘the hall of ye * mare of Representatives, on Mondav even tog, on the political questions which now divide and dis inguish the two great parties of the dey. The hall was filled with an atteotive autience, who manifested their pleasure by freqnent apd long con'tnued applause. Sena tor Trumbull’s speech was about two hours long, the frat part of which we publich today, and to which we direct ‘the careful attention of our readers. Mr. Lincoln’s epeech, delivered previously, was in reply to that of Jodge Dovgias, and a masterly and unanawer- able refutation of folly and falsehood it i acknowledged to be on all bards. The speech of Senator Trumbull, «ith out reference to Mr. Dougias, takes up the issues now agi tating the country, apd treats of them with that vigor and er for which he has s gr at'y distinguished himseit im the Senate of the United States. He does not tem Porize with bis subject but boldly tears the mask bis opponents, and exposes their unpatriotic doctrines and unboly aims with such clearness take them. Fol. from tts first in guration down to the present time he shows concla tively how the bogus democracy have deserted the good old doctrine of the power of Congress to govera the Cer- Fitorier, and bave taken up with new dogmas which were tavented for the emle and single purpose of extending the very.

The of Iilinow, who have been so basely and shame fully deceived by the Douglas faction, cannot read tae epecch without according to it their bighest praice and appreciation. No lover of bis country, po believer in the principles of the Declaration of Inde sendenca, can do otherwise than asrcnt to wbet Senator frambul! has laid down ip bis speech. It only needs to be read to be fally endorsed by the Union loving people of the State. \ding wo the call of some of the citizens of Spr ingfieid, to adress you upon the political questions of the day, it will be my object to place before you, as clearly ax I can, the points at issue between par ier, and the views entertaiced by each, #0 far as they can be from their acta and avowals. Both the great political partien of the cay, the republican and the eelf etyled democratic, contain within their ranks some por- sone from all the political parties which have heretsfore ‘been in the country. This is a cooseq uence resulting from the cisraption of parties in 1854, occasioned by the change f policy which was thep tonigurated in regard to the power of Congrees over the Territ vries, and particularly in relation to slavery therein. Prior to that time the power of Congress to govern the Territories was un questioned all the departments of the government— Legislative, execuiive and judicial—bad acknowledged and acted upon it from the foondation of the gryvernment, ® period of more than sixty years Rvery Prevident, from and including Wshington down to Pierce, bad in some form recognized tae power of Con gress to estabil:b Territorial go ernmevts apd acted upon the Hunject of slavery; the Teriitory was free wben acquit eome instances providing for making free Terr when acq and in ott to Territories where it tien, It is note ins'ances Flavery wat permitted to continae at the ume of their aog x! , that #o Lmporta parture from th m and well settled practi the bone iitution a8 a dena! of the power of the federal go vernment over itn own Territories, and particularly in re: gard toslavery, should bave given rise to new partion As the cemocratic party w r when thie intova. s mate, the party opposed to the change in con. ion, and in favor of maintaining it as ore beeu interpreted, took the nauue republican, ile the advocates ‘of the new version adberec to the name democrat, think ing, no d cbt, that because the name once em braced a party distingulkbed for ite devotion to the constitution, that it could be by those who were now about to decry id subvert the uther. Prior ty on the republican party hed = iow which proclaimed its creet.

These, io brief, equal riebts end are the priueiples avowed by the 'repablicas party.

The enemies Of repablicantem, it ie true, aspail that portion of our creed which aeserts the power of Congress to govern the Territories and pre hibit slavery therein, but Jeffernon it wil be remembered was the author of thie prohibition.

The constitution of he United Mae decinres that “ Congress shall have to Oppose oe make ali needfol rulee and rego r ng the territor) oF other property belonging Mates.” This cinose pre ey that there be territory belonging to the United States confers upon Congrem the right to make all it Congress, what rule ccomomy and regulations are peedful apd best adapted for the goverpment of @ Territory eo long as the territorial con dition continues. If slavery ts an evil, and delieved by Congrers to be prejunictal to the oe-t interests of a Terri tory, it is its uty Wexstude it depublicans believe ant many democrats v0 called prefess 10 believe slev ry 18 ‘Wrong and are prompt to declare tbat i! ina fe-ritory they would oppose its introduction To be cousistent they should be as ready when performing their constit sional cuty of presenting a form of government for a Territory to pro- vide egalnst tbe introduction of an admitted evil among thore who are to go there, ax they would against ite admis. sion into their own local community, Aman who would guard bis own locality against slavery as a pest to society, and who refures when in bis power to guard an infaatcom monity commited temporarity to he cl ‘againat the same pest, shows tbat be is goterved wholly by seltish mo- tives. This ix precisely the condition of these self styled democrair, who, while advocating the powers of Con, over the Terrtiories and professing to abbor slavery, Will do notbing to prevent its expansion — The denial of the po ser 18 of a very recent origin, It is not only expressly given, as bas been sbown by the conrtitution, but it has been always acted uoon and is sanctioned io the fallost extent by the for mer decisions of the Supre ve Court of the United States. In the case of the American Insurance Company against Cantar, 1 Pet. 54%, that court, in discussing the yower of Congress over the Territory of Florida as long as it continues to be a Territory of she United States, goverued by that claure of the constitution, which empo vers Congress to make all needful rules and regulations respecting the Territory or other property of the Unit ed ~tatee, which has not by becoming a State acquiret the means of self government, may result necesssrily from the fact that it ts pot withip the jurisdiction of any pardeu- Jar State, and is within the power ani jurisdiction of the United States. The right to govern may be the inevitable consequence of the right to acquire territory. Whichever may be the source from which the power is derived, the possession of it is unquestionable ’’ Io another their opinion in the same case the Court says:— In legis lating for them (the-Territories) Congress exercises the combined powers of the General and State governments.” This was tbe language of the Supre ne Court of the United ‘States when it was presided a Mr. Marshall, who wrote the opinion. It is full and conclusive asto the power of Copgress over the Territories. That was the question before the Court. They investigated it fully, lay down the general rule that possesses the combined po vers of the General and State governments in legislating for Ter- ritories, and decide that in exercising that power bad authority to establish Terrtiorial cour's in @lorida of @ different character fiom thcse required by the cou stitution to be establishei in the States. Many otner decisions of the Supreme Court, ani of different ‘State courts, might be cited to the same elect; aud if any question under the constitution could be regarded as set tled beyond dispute in 1854, it was that of the power of Congress to legislate for and govern the Territories. It poxsersed this power to the same extent asa stato, in the establishment of courts; it must possess it also to the eame extent in the exclusion of nay unless there is some thing in tbe constitution of the United states allowing it exercise in one case and denying it in the other; but ne euch clause can be found. iastrument contains no provision establishing slavery ; if it did, slavery would be univereal througbout the republic, and there would be eqvally a lack of power to probibit it ina State as ina Territory. With a plain provision of the constitution, the practice of the government under it for more than tixty years, and the decisions of the judicial tribunals of the Country all in its favor, it would seem that the republican creed asserting the power of Congress over the Territo-ies, and to exclude siavery therefrom, rested upon a foundation which could never be shaken, more especially as under this interpretation of the constitution the Uutted States bad gone op peacefally setthng Territory after Territory, anu adding State after Stare to the republic, till tne numer had more than doubled, the population, wealth And reeources of the country increased many fold, and when it was in the full tice of prosperity, advancing with rapid strides \n all the elements which contr bute to the greatness of a pation and add to the happiness and renowo Of ite people. But ia 1854 a new policy was inaugurated, and since thea a new interpretation bas been given to the constitution, and these are the causes of ali the woes which have since befallen the country, and now threaten with de- struction the best and fatrest ey-tem of government ever constructed by human bants. The departure from the former policy of the government in 1834 consisted in tae repeal of the Missour! compramise, whereby the Terri- tories of Kansas aad Nebraska were opened to slavery, although in consideration of the admiseion of Missouri into the Union as ® slave State, they had, in 1820, deoa set apart for treedom. The Northern pretence under which the Missouri compromise was repealed is now abandened. We no longer bear iis repeal justidea on tae ground that it was necessary in order to establish the principal of or- ritoriai self-eovernment, or to enable the people of a Ter- ritory to regulate the subject of slavery for them- selves, through their Ter: itorial Legisiature The advo- cates of the repeal now insist that the peogle, while in @ Territorial condition, no right to exclude slavery, bat that in the formation of a State covetitution they will pos tose that right. The regeal, therefore, conferred no addi- ional right upon the peeple of the for it is clear that the Missouri compromixe would not ‘an exclusion of slavery by the people their State government. The only effect, therefore, of its repeal, was to open Kansas apd Nebraska, while Territo- ries lo slavery; and not to confer upou the people of those Territories any great privciples of self government or apy- thing else excep: slavery Mr. Brchanan tells us in his inaugural that it is of but little practical importance at what time the people of s Terri are permitted to decide Ube question of slavery for themaclyas— whether while the Territorial condition continves or not. And he ani the lesser lights of the selfrtyled democracy, including Gov. Walker, of Kansas, still talk about the great principle of self government and popular sove! 'y, which allows a people when they come to form a to regulate the subject of slavery for themselves, as if that were a ques- ton between parties. No man of either party denies tuis ight—certainly no one of the republican party —though it may be a necessary conrequence of a recent decision that the people of a State cannot exclude slavery. The whole coutroversy is about slay iu the Territories of the United yay ‘not in the so Union; eat mockery it is for men to harp about the great princi | sovereignty being to the people of a rritory when they deny them the right to act fer them- telves 80 lovg as Leyte ger a iasts,even if it be thirty years, as was the case with Michigan! The republican party’ differ with Mr. Bacheman as to the importance of keeping slavery out of the Territories. The poct tells us that “as the twig is bent the tree ie tnelined ; be bas eaid, “train up a child in the way he should go, end when he is old he will not depart from it.” We be- lieve if slavery is tolerated in a Territory, it will moet like- ly be continued into the Site. When’ thé people of a State government, what is to ould be onjurt to deprive their owners of them without compensation, which it may be inconvenient for the people to provide. Free negross are onjec tiopable. [t is alwave difficult to change exisi- ing tnstitations. All these cousiferations combined will be very apt to make slave States out of slave ferritories. Bow tmavy of the self styled demooratic party in the Norib would bay anctioned the repeal of the Missouri compromise had it been candidly avowed at the time that Ube consequence would be what we now sce men deplored the repeal, who aubscq| the meneure, onder the belief that the peop 4 tory bad the power, and #oalt exorcive {t, ty keepalavory out, and had they then been told that toe autuors of the repeal would eveatually deny them that right, aud instat upon the doctrine that slavery could be taken into a Terri tory in spite of the wisbes of its inbabitauts to the con- trary, they never would have sanctioned the deed. call upon all such to come out from among this pro-slavery party now they eee whither it is leading thom.

Shall the people of Kansas be permitted to form their own Siate constitation or sual! ney be forced to submit to a constitution having its origin in frand and violence and imposed upon them against their coprent? In this issue the great pepe of self-govern- ment and fr cv institutions is indeed involved, and is ver more important than whether slavery shall or shal pot hereafter exi-t in Kansas true question is, shall the wht:e population be permitted to assert their righta, or shall they be enslaved by a cunningly devised system of fraud and violence, which is sought to be carried out under the forms of law? It is known to you all that the Territorial Legislature which first assembled in Kansas was electei by Missourians, and not by the people ot that Territory. This Legislature, as was natural, took steps to perpetuate its power, imposed tost oatbs as @ qualification for voting at future ejections, and undertook to pass divers other unconstitutional acts. The people of the Territory have stoutly refused to recognize she validity of its proceedings, and by a voluntary move men! of their own, got u» an organization, fo a State constitution, apd asked for admission into the Union. This has hitherto been refused by Congress, though a bill to that effect passed the House of Representatives. In the meantime a second bogus Legislature assembled under the authority of the Orst, and an act calling a con vention to form a State constitution, prescribing a registry of vaers, their qualifications, &c., and retaioing in their own bands the exclusive control of the election. Havil originality usurped authority, and all of them as welt as tc Territorial offivers throughout the Territory, holding their places against the wishes of a great majority of the people, it was hardly to be expected that men who had attained power by such means would ee &@ peace- able way for their own overthrow. y knew that through the registry of voters to be made by their in struments, they held in their own hands perfect con trol of the election. In perfect accordance with the fraud perpetrated when Kansas was first invaded, the commisetoners to regirter votes made just such lists as would insure a triumph to the pro slavery and self styled democratic party. No person bame was not on the hist beirg allowed under the law to vote. The lists re- turned embrace only about half the couaties in the Tor- ritory. and upon those returned the names of pro slarery men alone, as a general thing, appear—ai all events, they constivute a majority of the issed voters. The Siate mea, consiitut ng @ large majority fand tome say four-tifths of the populatin, refased under such circumstances to have anything to do with the election. Indeed, but few of them could have voted had they desired to, as they were not generally registered. With the full knowledge that ‘ap election was 10 be held under the proclamation of act ing Governor Stanton, in only about one half tbe counties in the Territory, and that in those the free State men had , Governor Walker had the ul r oe Geert on Gov.

So difficult ts it to get rid of @ usurpation when once established, and when the usurpers have under their control the forms of law, that I can see no way of escape while the people submit to give expres- tion to thetr sectiments only in the way which their usar- pers poiut out. The hope of the people of Kansas lies in themselves, and thengb I will not undertake to point out the mode by which they are to find relief from the despot | tem which has been establiehed over them, but to whict they have nev r, farther than compelied by federal power, submitted, [ trust they will dnd some way of escape, the numbers and strcogth of these invaders not been #0 great aa to render the struggle utterly hopeless, they would have been justified {n resiating at the outset, by all the powers which God had given them, the \avasioa by which the firet election was carried.

Silent, then, we think it ill becomes Mr Keatt (apd we say 80 with great respect and with senti- ments of warm esteem), now that the question bas to be decided by the convention itself, to ob ject to this or that mode of doing it. ‘If 0on gress bad but enacted a single line iw the exer clse of its sovereign ative; and not turned this ond the whole matier of ore up the coastitution, from beginning to end, to Territory itself, the wouble would hare been. ended; and we think members of Con- wress at least are estopped from criticis ng aad condemping the views of those in ihe Ter: itory who, in their ignorance, folly or kaavery, as the case may be, propose diffcrent modes of proceiure from those which members them- selves may think exactly proper. But more anen on this rt ead Thirdly. Mr. Keitt avows bis determination to dole out his confidence to the democratic Party. th rigid pareimo- vy; and to keep his powder dry. We that is a better sentiment than was ascribed to him the other dey by the South Carolina paper on whose raph we commented, for it —, Mr. Keitt as saying that he never bad ary confidence in the demeoratic party. Mr. Keitt’s dispositions are decidedly better than we ascri o bim; but still they differ from our own. We shal support the de party with all our hear and roul and might and main, We shall yield it no grudg- ing confidence nor encumbering support. We shall not out to the black republican enemy from its ranks, “We fight you, but come on, you are sure to beat us down.”’ No. no, no, We shall fight to conquer and not to get whipped.’ If itis the temper of the secossioniats, South Carolina at their hea4, to fight only for the honor of a flogging, better for them to go off grumbling and fault- (indivg like Achilles to his tent, beyond the wight of the enemy, where their scoffs and scorn cannot reach them, than stay in the field inviting defeat by laggardJy expect- ing it. ave of Virginia intend to stand by the democra‘ic party, by the democracy of the North as well as by the dem9- cracy of the South, and to fight the black’ republican enemy for victory ! for victory | for victory ! ‘There are, besides the federal government, six great in- +titutions which still bind the Union together, and which the united powers of the devil, the black republicans and the secessit on it besonh. 9 ‘These are the Eptscopal chureb, the old byterian church, and that adamantine rock ef conservatism, the Catholic charch, which are all still intact and national. There are also the frater of the Masons and the benevolent brotherhood of the Fellows, whose organizations still clasp the Union together ‘as with hooks of steel. And then there is the old constitu- ticnal party of the national democracy, founded by Jeffer- son, Madison, Jackson Wright, and a long list of illustrious patriow and sages, expressly for the preservation of the Union, which atill clings around the ark of the covenant of the constitution, and is resolved never, never to give it over to destruction. It has been our destiny to be [ecw a sentinel upon its lines. [redone tanger yO enough, glorious enough, holy enough for us, and however others may falter, we shall do our duty to it with all the powers of mind and soul that have been allotted us. Letter from Hon, Lawrence M. Keitt, of South Carolina, TO THE EDITOR OF THE RICHMOND EXAMINER. In your issue of the 26th inst. I observe an editorial, under the head of “The mask thrown off,” which asserts that I am hostile to the administration and an enemy to the pational democratic party. Although, personally, I am indifferent to the allegation and its inferences, yet as aretlee EH was one cailiag & conven! sutution for admission into ‘Around this law was thrown all the safeguard: ‘and provisions which are deemed § } or proper. Now, what was Governor Walker's concern with ‘bis matter? Only to see the law exocuted. Whet rights were the parties invested with? Tae right to register and vote, Was it Governor Walker's daty to order them to register ‘and vote? Wi'h all bis pro-consular airs, had he a right to make them either register or vote? If any negiectod or refused to register or rote, was it not their concern, and only thelr concern? Was Governor Walk with the fsignia of his office around him, deat the bush, and wriggle through Kansas; ’ to coat, wheedle or drag free sollers to the registry oifice or the polls! When competent aathority bas defined the quaildcation of euilrage, and made every provision for its exercise, has it not done all which a government should do in the matter? Is not any further interference by an excoutive officer partiran intermeddling? It is admitted by Governor Walker that those who neglect or refure to vote acquiesce in the decision of the majority who do vote, and make that decision their own as comy lotely aif they nad voted. When tho free soil- ert, ‘hen, in Kansas negiected or refused to register or vote for delegates to the convention, did they not logally ‘accept those delegated as much as if they had voted for them! Are they not as much bound by the acts of the convention as if they had voted? If this neglect or refusal then to vote was eq”ivalent to the adoption of the result of tbe ma, of those that did vote, what could Governor or to accomplieh by bis official rambles through Terriiory, and his passionate appeal to the free roilers to vote? It could be no more aad no lees than the reversal of the decision about to be had; and, as that was clearly prosiavery, he must have been seeking an ant slavery result Tt will not do to say that Governor Walker's object was conciliation. The admi: and Congress had recog- F it 2 act box i« French red republican growth. It is founded in the iden io are above themerl ves 1 ageregate {aad that the mere units in ® z iis D8. of Gov, Walker in referring the constitu. the vote of all who may be in Kansas at the js obvious enough. The convention for Kansas ‘as mueb represe woutd be in that of any State io the Union into which they came alter the adostion of its constitution. @ reference of the constitution bacj to the popular vote ts, [eold uncall- e4 for. But its reference to any other than the qualified ro- ters is,debauchery, They were the only agency competent to organize the and they are the only political ele. mepis known in the act of organizing it. Unubthe organiaz- tion is complete and rettled, they are the only source of power. To make it otherwise is to make @ constitution as fickle and mutable as mere statete. i i 4 i i 3 E 3 H plleity, however, my den jations will bo moue the less earnest, The lutions of the democratic party of Georgia, in convention at Milledgeville, a few days ago, on the ‘Kansas policy of Gov. Walker, exoress my 0 views clearly epoogb. The admini-tration should absolve (self from Waiker’s treechery. It will doo, 1am sure, uplees it means 10 be ree ponsible for it, The second allegation 's, that I am hostile to the na tonal democratic party, I have never abdicated my indepen. cence, apd put on the collar ot he democratic arty ‘and Ipever mean to do so I support the party when { think it right, and I oppose it wheal think it wrong. [ havo some, but not absolut+, confidence !n-the national demo cratic party. To have an absolute confidence in it TL must re both in its adherence to the con- etitution, and ite ability to protect that iastrumeat, T pass by its basis of principles 4 perindically »romul- gated, and look for a moment to some of tho acts of some of fis leaders and members. I flad th«m (i ¢ some of its Jeacers and mapy of its followers), fur a bigd protective riff—for a stupendous scheme of internal {morovement, and for the ‘of Congress to enact the Wilmot Provi- 80, altbough its enactment, they admit, would be unjust and unwise. I dnd many of them voting against the ex- tepsion of the line of 36 deg 80 mia, to the Pacite ta “1846 and °48,” (I quote the yeara from memory ) and voting in 1850” to dismember a sovereign tare, ant de- vote the mutila’ed portion to free soil, and for the \I- licit admission of California the Union as a free State, and for a stigma upon slavery through the aboit tion of the slave trade in the District of Columbia, 3 In 1864, 1 @nd also one-half, minus one, of the demo- | cratic members of the House from tue free States, voting against the Kansas Nebraska bill, although it was made a test, and voting agairst it because it was 8 1p posed to be favorable to the South, The Governor of Vir ginia, and the cabinet officer from Virginia, believed the ompibus measuree of 1850 to be a great wroog agwinst the South, and I have no doubt but that Virginia thought like- wi And yet the active advocates, and to some exteat the authors Of these measures, now wear the garlends aud of bgb priests at the national democratic altar. Do you not believe that they would give tae same votes , unter the same circumstances? Those wembers of the party from the North, who deserted during the struggie on the Nebraska Kaneaa bill, were suspected of a lurking affiliation with the {ree soilers. of them are again in full communton with the party, aad whet ‘ fruits meet for repentence,”’ on their part, haye the country seen? It is not sufficient hat they are now in the party They were tn it before free soilixm carried them ugatast the South If their mere connection with the party is sufficient, I doubt not but that many of them would pstri- otically rail! further tlustrate their conversion and ooo crvalam, by the acceptance of office from the part7, and probably think, also, that Le uigher the oifllce toe clearer the deme nstration. ‘The truth is, that the South has been betrayed an‘ sac- rificed, in every struggle, by portions of the national demo- ty, a8 well as by ciner parties I believe it will be se in the future also. Many who bave vetrayed ber ‘are now in full communion with the party, and I do not believe they have repented. ‘The members of the democratic party, then, have not always clung to the constitution as we understaud it; aad if we undersiand it very differently, we canuot belong to the fame party. Is the party able to defeud the cansttation ? Thave not delivered it over to black reoablicans (as you intimate), but I believe that the black republicans will capture it in 1860. I expect then, however, to 9¢ ee with it, and on the same line with ) ourself, an neither of us will be in the ranks of that divieion which expect and intend tosubmit to the olack republican . The great deep at tne Noth seems to me to be broken up, and the abolition flood rives higher ttle subaltern municipal elections, and the control of cross roads, which the o ponents of black republicapiem have recently, in some instances, torn from them, are not noticeable wreck* upou the wa ters. They bave the legislative, judicial and executive power; and thege are all that we ofthe South are concerved about. I believe from all the signs, that the democracy will be defeated in 1860; and le I entertain this belief I shall not conceal it. I believe that the safety ofthe South is only in herself. The 1oad to federal hovors should not be over her rights, por ehould betrayal and treachery be the patsport to federal favor. My advice, then, to the South ig, to have gome—not absolute ‘confiderice in’ the aational democratic party. and keep esd tay dry. The lawer is much more likely tosave her, than the former.
