But Senator Douglass not only makes war upon the opin'ons of the framoreof our Federal Constitution, in regard to the prop er construction of that instrument, but com ing down to a more modern date, he hurls hitt juitttbemas at that "peculiar institution," ie "Mai?- kniigrant Aid Society." Aithougi ft 15 'tf veil known' fact that this society obtained & "cter. lrom an ad ministration legislature and flat the plan was fully completed upon Wijcb. it as or ganized, without reference to the u?estiorl Of 8laycry, that nmong its "stock holders'- were prommenij, supporters oi, iue. presenij administration, that no man is or was exclu ded from it on account of his political opin ions;' that it has: been conducted in strict ac cordance with the laws of the States and of tho U. S.tlio N, K. Bill not accepted yet notwithstanding oil this, tho .Senator Tory gravely oharges the society with' attempt ing td"abolitionize Kansas."' '' ' ' The foundation1 of this charge is the fact that thp socioty published, a pamphlet in which they stated their belief that "the. ter ritory selected as the j scene of. pperations, would be filled with free mhitants.'1 And what good reason is there for not filling it with "free inhabitants?" i Is that thd class of population that eurie a territory or State? And) does th Senator., mean to insinuate that slavery is better 1 for ' those territories than free&om t ' Such at least is the fair in ference from his own language, and such we claim are his sentiments until the c6n- trary is shown. 'Bit again ho tells us that the proceeding of this society are in "per- jircrsioa of tl)o plain" provisions pf Jan act'ofi Congress"-r-the N. K. Bill. , To be sure ho does not point out the article or section 9 I lul ' UK .iif COUNTRY- .POJEE tf-MV ivy' which has been violated; a he .wellkowsv that Is hilpdssihlipi Wt;vith'a degre fdu ''pKbttyf ftft "whichheia notorioTis? lie prefers asserting ftuvahsoltiWi Talsehboa; t givicg-a plain afid trathfuVstaVenient of 'facts.'''

" Hb ' well knew thai Kansas had' been invaded; itod Ihe'inJialitants oyetjioVerdby arried bands of MissqiirianBthaA iey. had bjeen drtven from tfie polls -and, the' righf cf,;suffrage" trampled undetf ' foot; : thaiiittrde ' and al most every species of outrago .and violence had been practice rjth impunity, and, th!t the people wero becoming Moused in ir rrard to the matter:' arid, were removina manv o ' 7 . t" . ff ofthe serft wiRjOioy bnji ftfcattW unproutaWe, , something 'must Be done. Hard-faced as he is he dare not deny these facts; and the only hope left him was to at tempt to shield those disgraces to mankind the "Border Ruffians" by asserting that their, nefarcous crimes wero caused by tho peaceful and lawful efforts of the "Emigrant Aid Society." Ilea him on p. 7. of his "Report:" "When emigrants sent out by the Mass. ' Emigrant Aid Co., &c, passed through the State of Missouri tc, their lan- euagio, and tho unmistakcable indications of their determined hostility, to tho domestic institutions (slavery) of that State, created apprehensions that the object of the compa ny was to aholitionize Kansas 5cc. Thcso apprehensions increased and spread with the progress of events, until they became the settled convictions of the people of that portion of the State most exposed to dan ger by their proximity to the Kansas bor der. The natural consequence was that immediate steps were taken by the people of the Western counties of Missouri to stimu late, organize and carry into effect a sys tem of emigration similar to that of the Em. A. Co., for the avowed purpose of counteracting tho effects, and protecting themselves and their domestic institutions from the consequences of that company's operations." As a matter of course , the Senator produced no evidence of the char ges made in the above extract, against the E. A. Co.; though perhaps in this he is ex cusable, as such evidence is not in existence. The assertion that the Ruffianism which trampled down the rights of the citizens of Kansas) is a system of emigration similar to that of the 'M. A. Society," is simply ridiculous; as every inteligcnt man knows it to be utterly false. , Even from tho admis sions of the Senator himself it is false; as he informs us in the VRcport," that . for this Company, "an act of incorporation was pro cured from the Legislature of the State of Mass;" while he does not even pretend that the proceedings of the "Border Ruffians," was ever sanctioned by the Legislature of any State or Territory in existence. But says the Senator, "the violence of their lan guage, and the unmistakeable indications of their determined hostility to the domestic in stitutions slavery of that State" (Missou ri) done what? why it "oreated apprehen sions that the object of the company, was to aholitionize Kansas." But how did they design accomplishing this "object." Here again the'"Report" tells us that "through the lallot-lox" they were "to gain control over the 'Legislation of the Territory." So then according to Senator Douglass, the head and fornt" of the offences of this com pany is that they designed to "abolitionize Kansas',' fill it with "free inhabitants" and "through the ballot-box" control "the Legislation of the Territory." This is cer tainly amosthenious crime, the perpetra tors of which, ought speedily bo brought to punishment. Just think of it fullow-citizcns, freemen of tho North have cone to Kansas and "through the ballot-box" attempted to control "the Legislation of the Territory." But worse than this; they wish to fill it with "free inhabitants," or to use the Senator's expression, "abolitionize Kansas;" and this of all other crimes in tho calcndor he seems to think the worst. Tho idea of making Kansas free docs ap pear rather absurd and f fanatical;" and yet'vr? ink tlie honorable Senator ought not to be too severe upon those1 who adopt it, as they may be honest men in error think our beloved 'Washington correct when in writing to Robert Morris hb said:'"I can on ly say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely, than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of it, (slavery) but there is only one proper effectual modo in which it can be accomplished, and that is by leglstative authority', and ' this as far as my suffrage will go shall never be wanting." Or perhaps they believe Jefferson when he says: that slavery is "tho most 1 unremitting despotisms on ono part, and degrading sub missions on the'other:".'or Franklin who says, 'that slavery is an attrocious debase ment of human nature." V. It may be that some one of them have read tho ; "Madison Papers, " where James Madison reports him self as saying, in. Ahe Federal Convention, that ''he thought it wrofijito admit into the Constitution tho idea that thero could be property in man' and from thjs might have concluded that it .would .alio, be wrong to au.mil me iaea iu wi xerruunua.

The New Hampshire Smto convention in 1847 adopted the following resolution: Kezohed, That we declare It our solemn conviction, as the Democratic party have heretofore done, that hoither slavery nor involuntary servitude should hereafter exist in any lerrrtory which may be acquired by or annexed to the United States; and that we approve of the votes of our delegation in Congress in favor of the Wllmot proviso. John P. Hale wns then a Senator, and is now. Hale maintains his ground on the Wilmot Proviso, the Granite State Democ racy don't. They have "progressed." -. Again, in 1848 the New Hampshire Leg. islature, then largely. Democratic, passed the following resolution by a very large ma jority: Resolved, By the Senate and IIouso of Representatives in Genoral Court convened. That we are In favor of the passape of a law by Congress forever prohibiting slavery in iev Mexico and California, and in all other territories now acquired, or hcreufior to be acquired Oy the Uniteo States, In which slavery does not exist at the time of such acquisition.' ' . ' , In 1849 ti e same body passed the follow ing resolutions: ',',','. Itesolved, 1 hat, opposed to everv form of oppression, the peoplo of New Hamp shire have ever viewed with deep regret the existence of slavery-in this Uriiinn; that while they have steadfastly supported all sections In their constitutional rights, they have not only lamented its existence ns a great sociai evil, but regarded it as fraught with danger to the peace and welfare of the nation. Resolved, That while we respect ihe rights of tho slaveholding as well as the free portions of this Union while wo will not consent that wrong be done to any member of the glorious confederacy to which we be long, we are firmly and unalterably opposed to the extension of slavery ovor any portion of American soil now Ireo. " : Resolved, That in our opinion Congress has the constitutional power to abolish the slave trade, and slavery in the District of Columbia, and that our Senators be instruc ted and our Representatives requested to nke all constitutional measures to accom plish this object. ' During this time, be it remembered, Gen. Pierce was wiih the. New Hampshire de mocracy, and endorsed their acts. Ho was then standing upon the same platform that the Republican party now stands on: "No more slave states," About tho date of these last resolutions a new element of political action was ushered into being lrom tho brains of General Cars. We alludo to the Cass-Nicholson letter idea of "squatter sovereignty." .. The New Hampshire democracy had thoir own opin ion of this doctrine there, at the record pioves. The N. H. Patriot (Gen. Pierce's organ) of July 26th, 1849, contained the following articlo: , , .- . "Tho Democracy of tho Nonn nevor did endorse the doctrine, (of squatier sover eignty) and they never will, The demos racy of this State are unanimous in the opin ion so far as we know, that Congress has and should exercise the power, and exclude slavery from California and New Mexico." By ihe above extracts It will bo seen thai Pierco's .friends now deny what the v then affirmed, and affirm what they than denied. Thoy treat the Wilmot Proviso as second only in atrocity to an attempt to dtssolvo tho Union, while they huj the "squatter sov ereignty" doctrine to their hearts in very love, adopting it into their political house hold, and making it chief over all.
