T«f.a. Ji-iTbiion and Slack Republicanism.
In our last issue we not only attempted but
proved incontestably from the history and sta
tistics of our country that the charge of “south
ern aggression” so industriously made by the
Black Republicans is one of the most egregious
wrongs ever perpetrated amongst any people.
We have seen many men of northern birth who
at home looked down with mingled feedings of
pity and scorn upon the deluded or wicked ene
mies of the Uniou and the Constitution, religion
and laws. Yet we have seen many of these
men of honest purpose carried away by the in
sidious appeals which are daily made to their
pride and prejudices. Bad men, who could nev
er rise from obscurity except amid the wild
disorders which they create, have found a pro
pitious avenue to power, and have paved it with
falsehoods as black as the walksof Paudimonium.
To detect these black and damning falsehoods
it is only necessary to examine/the records of
our country and reflect. That labor is a duty
which every man owes to his country, and in
this hour, the act of omission which fosters ig
norance is as culpable as the deed of Cataiine.
You stand not by guiltless when the torch of the
incendiary is approaching the great temple of
the Union. You shall not escape from condem
nation if you open your ears willingly to those
who bear false witness. Arnonst others who
are appealed to in support or the dogmas of this
miscalled republicanism, the name of Mr. Jeffer
son has been invoked and perversion and gar
bled extracts from his writings, resorted to for
the purpose of imposing upon the popular cre
dulity. How strikingly similar is the aspect of
our country at this time to what it was wheu
the following was writleu by the sage of Monti
cello.
On the 13th day of April, 1820, he wrote to
Win. Short:
The old schism of federal aud republican
threatened nothing, because it existed in every
State and united them together by the fraternal ism of
party. But the coincidence of a marked principle,
moral and political, with a geographical line, once
conceived, 1 feared would never more be oblit
erated from tlie mind; that it would be recur
ring on every occasion, nnd renewing irrita
tions, until it would kindle such mutual mortal
hatred as to render separation preferable to
eternal discord. I have been among the most
sanguine in believing that our Uniou would be
of long duration. I now doubt it much, and
see that event at no great distance, and the di
rect consequence of this question; not by the
line which has been so confidently counted off—
the laws of nature control this—but by the Po
tomac, the Ohio and Missouri, or more probably
the Mississippi upwards to our northern boun
dary. My only comfort and conlldcnce is, Hint
I shall not live to sec this; and I envy not the
present generation the glory of throwing away
the fruits of their father’s eacriflces of life and
fortune, and of rendering desperate the experi
ment which was to decide ultimately whether
man is capable of self government. This trea
son ugaiust human hope will signalize their
epoch in future history, as the counterpart of
the model of their predecessors.
TUOS. JEFFERSON.
Mr. llulmcs, of Maine, member of Congress,
addressed Jottersou a letter, which drew from
him the following remarkable reply:
Monticei.lo, April 22, 1820.
I thank you, dear sir, for the copy you have
been so kind as to send me of the letter to your
constituents on the Missouri question. It is a
perfect justification to them.
1 had for a long time ceased to read newspa
pers, or pay any attention to public affairs,
confident they were in good hands, nnd content
to be a passenger in our bark to the shore from
which I am not far distant. But this momentous
question, like a fire bell in the night, awakened and
Jilted me with terror. I considered it at once the knelt
of the Union. It is hushed, indeed for the mo
ment, but this is a reprieve only, not a final
sentence. A geographical line, coinciding with a
marked principle, moral and political, once conceived
and held up to the angry passions of men, will never
be obliterated ; and every new irritation will mark
i it deeper and deeper. I can say, with conscious
, truth, that there is no man on earth, who would
■ sacrifice more than I would to relieve us from
this heavy reproach, In any practicable way. —
The cession of that kind of property (for it is so
misnamed) is a bagatelle which would not
' cause me a second thought, if, in that way, a
general emancipation and expatriation would
i be effected, aud gradually, nnd with due sacri
fices, I tbi'.klc it might be. But as it is, we have
the wolf by the ears, aud can neither hold him
nor safely let him go. Justice is in one scale
aud self-preservation in the other. Of one
thing I am certain, that as the passage of the
slaves from one State to another would not
make a slave of a human being who would not
! be so without it, so their diffusion over u greater
surface would make them individually happier,
and proportionally facilitate the accomplish
ment of their emancipation, by dividing the
| burthen on a greater number of coadjutors.
An abstinence, too, from this act of power,
would remove the jealousy excited by the un
dertaking of Congress to regulate the condition
of the different descriptions of men composing
a State. This certainty is the exclusive right of the
State, which nothing in the Constitution has taken
from them, and given to the General Government. —
Could Congress, for example, say, that the non freemen
of Connecticut shall be freemen, or that they shall no t
emigrate to any other State ?
I regret that I am not to die in the belief that
the useless sacrifice of themselves by the gen
eration of 1776, to acquire self-government and
happiness to their couutry, is to be thrown away
by tbe unwise and unworthy passions of their
sons, and that my consolation is to be, that I
live not to weep over it. If they would but
dispassionately weigh the blessings they will
throw away, against an abstract principle more
likely to lie effected by union than secession,
they would pause before they perpetrate this
dreadful act of suicide on themselves, and of
treason against the hopes of the world.
To yourself, as the faithful advocate of the
Union, I tender the offer of my high esteem and
respect. TIIOS. JEFFERSON.
He wrote Dec. 20. 182U .
Nothing has ever presented so threatening an aspect
as what is called the Missouri (/nation. The federal
ists, completely put down, and despairing of ever ri
sing again under whig and lory names, devised a new
one, qf slaveholding and non-slaveholding States,
which, while it had a semblance oj being moral, was
at the same time geographical, and calculated to gtve
them ascendency by debauching their old opponents to
a coalition with them. Moral, the question cer
tainly is not, because the removal of slaves
from one State to another, no more than their
removal from one country to another, would
never make a slave of one human being who
would not be so without it. Indeed, if there be
any morality in the question, it is on the other
side; because by spreading them over a large
surface, tbeir hupninesa would be iucreased and
the burden of their future liberation lightened
liv bringing a greater number of shoulders un
WHOLE NO. 160.
dcr it. However, it seems to throw dust into
the eyes of the people, and to fauaticiue them,
while to the knowing ones it gave a geographi
cal and preponderating line to the Potomac and
the Ohio, throwing fourteen States to the North
and East, and ten to the South and West. With
these therefore, it is merely a question of power.
But with the geographical minority it u a question of
existence; for if Congress once goes out of the Constitu
tion to arrogate the right qf regulating the condition
qf the inhabitants of the States, its majority may, and
probably trill declare that the condition <f all within
the United States shall be that qf freemen: in which
case all the whites south of the Potomac and the Ohio
must evacuate their States, and most fortunate those
who can do it first.
All things possible in nature it is said repeat
themselves, and did we not know that we were
reading in the above extracts of the period of
1820, we should suppose we were reading the
history of the present year. A slight substitu
tion of names would make the illusion complete.
Well, O mighty Webster might you say “the
whig party will never be a national party
more.” Even your great patriotic voice eould
not keep it from falling down at the North be
fore the Golden Calf of abolitionism, and now
who shall we look to to follow the wise precepts
you have left us, other than those faithful to
you and the Union, the Northern Democracy.
The compromise measures of 1850 were carried
by the following vote of northern men in the
House of Representatives. Northern Demo
crats, 'yeas 28, nays 14—all others from the
north, yeas 3, nnys 62.
Kansas, Nebraska bill, find the right of the peo
ple to govern themselves was carried by the fol

Platform of the JVmwrary on the Slavery
Question..
The resolutions of the Cincinnati Contention,
on this subject repeating the words of the reso
lutions of former Democratic Conventions, we
as follows:
1. That Congress has no power nnder the
Constitution, to interfere with or control the
domestic institutions of the several States, and
that such States are the sole and proper judges
of everything appertaining to their ow n affairs,
not prohibited by the Constitution; that all ef
forts of the abolitionists or others, made to in
duce Congress to interfere with questions of
slavery, or to take incipient steps in relation
thereto, are calculated to lend to the most alar
ming and dnngerouH consequences; and that all
such efforts have an inevitable tendency to di
minish the happiness of the people, and endan
ger the stability and permanency of the Union,
and ought not to bocouutenauccd by any friends
of our political institutions.
2. That the foregoing proposition covers, and
was intended to embrace, the whole subject of
slavery agitation in Congress; and therefore,
the Democratic party of the Union, standing ou
this national platform, will abide by and adhere
to a faithful execution of the acts known as the
Compromise Measures, settled by the Congress
of 1850; “the acts for reclaiming the fugitives
from service of labor,” included; which act be
ing designed to carry out an express provision
of the Constitution, 'cannot, with fidelity there
to, be repealed, or so changed as to destroy or
impair its efficiency.
3. That the Democratic party will resist all
attempts at renew ing, in Congress, or out of it,
the agitation of the slavery questfon, under
whatever shape or color the attempt may be
made.
Ami here are (lie additional resolutions adopt
ed by the Cincinnati Convention, to cover tho
controversy as it now exists:
And that wo may more distinctly meet the
issue on which a sectional party, subsisting ex
clusively on slavery agitation now relies to test
the fidelity of the people, North and South, to
the Constitution and the Union:
1. h’emAitd, That claiming fellowship with,
and desiring the co-operation of all who regard
the preservation of the Union under the Consti
tution us the paramount issue—and repudiating
all sectional parties and platforms concerning
domestic slavery, which seek to embroil the
States and incite to treason and armed resist
ance to law in the Territories; and whose avow
ed purposes, if consummated, must end in civil
war and disunion—the American Democracy
recognize and adopt the principles contained in
the organic laws establishing the Territories of
Kansas and Nebraska as embodying the only
sound and safe solution of the “slavery ques
tion" upon which its great national idea of the
people of this whole country can repose in its
determined conservatism of the Union—NoN
INTERPKRBNCE BT CONGRESS WITH Sl-AVERT IN
State and Territory, or in the District or Co
lumbia.
2. That this was the basis of the Compromises
of 1850—confirmed by both the Democratic and
Whig parties in national conventions—ratified
by the people in the election of 1852. and right
ly applied to the organization of Territories in
1854.
3. That by the uniform application of this
Democratic principle to the organization of
Territories, und to the admission of new States,
with or without domestic slavery, as they may
elect—the equal rights of all the States will be
preserved intact—the original compacts of the
Constitution maintained inviolate—and the per
petuity and expansion of this Union insured to
the utmost capacity of embracing, in peace and
harmony, every future American State that may
lie constituted or annexed, with a republican
form of government.
Revoked, That we recognize the right of the
people of all the Territories, including Kansas
and Nebraska, acting through ’the legally and
fairly expressed will of a majority of actual res
idents, and whenever the number of their inhab
itants justifies it, to form a Constitution, with
or without domestic slavery, and be admitted
into the Union upon terms of perfect equality
with the other States.
Who but a Clack Republican could sec in
these fair and just principles that pro-slavery
spirit which is charged upon us?
An Uncommon Occurrence. —The Albany
Knickerbocker says:
“A very singular affair occurred in the court
of general sessions at the last term. A woman
was brought up and arraigned before her own
brother, who was oil the bench, on the charge
of keeping a house of prostitution. The broth
er sat motionless mid pale as marble, but stern
and inflexible as the Roman father who passed
the sentence of death on his own son. The wo
man, although old in crime and lost to shame,
was so overcome by the scene that on reaching
her seat she wept burning tears. It was a
scene that is rarely witnessed, and we hope nev
er to see the like again.”
Riot at Baltimore. —A terrible riot occurrred
on the 12th nit. between a Fillmore Club and a
party of Buchanan men, at the Democratic head
quarters. Four men were shot dead, twenty
fatally wounded, and some fifty or sixty others
wounded and badly injured. Guns, pistols,
clubs and stones were freely used.
