an excellent tumbler, but he was a very Toor prophet! Kansas is not yet in! the Union, and is not likely to bo noon if tho gentleman's party .remains in power in Congrcs. The republicans laid tho repeal of tho Missouri Compromise was the result of a bargain botwecn the slavo propaganda of the South and the leaders of sham Democracy in the North; and that there was bat one

object in the repeal to force Slavery into Kansas without the consent f the

people there or elsewhere I Let t few facts ufHco to prove tho troth of this position. . Within ten days after tho pasRare of the Kansas-Nebraska act hun dreds of MiVourlans rnshed Into Kansas, held "aquattcr mectine," and re solved lli.it slavery existed there, and no Northern man should bo protected in bis rights therO, if ho denied the existence. At tho first election held in the Territory, tho Ali8ouriana invaded hannag, drove the settlers from the polls, and elected a Legislature of their own. Thin Legislature pasfled n code of laws which was n disgruco to tho ago, denylog the freedom of apeoch, the right of bearing arms, and many other constitutional rights to the people of Kannas; yet, the leuders of modern Domocrucj nid it was the duty of tho President to enforce this infumons eodo ? Town were sacked, printing offices destroyed, and murders com mil ted by tho Uro propaganda; and United States bavonets wero employed to uphold tho usurpation and to sustair the minority in their rule of tho mnjrritj. Governor after governor was appointed to ennh out the will of the majority, and to upbold the slave t ronaanda and their infaPioui code. These governors nil bocomo disgusted with the job, and returned to tho state, asking God and the counlry to forgivo them for the, dirty work in which they had been engaged. As fast as they became unwilling tosustain the minority ana to riuo rougn shod over the? majority, thej- wero re moved bv Democratic 1 residents. The Locomi.ton Constitution, the fruit of tlo usurpation, rejewea vy tno peopic of Kansas by morotUn 10,000 majority, , was approved by the Democratic leaden, and nmdo a test of party feilty bv I'rcfiidcnt Ihichanan. Walker was . . t t . t compelled to resign Ixscauso I' dceirod o let the iwplo vote fur or against that Constitution, and Stanton was rcL'Oved becauso he called tho free 'State legtlt turo together to pass a law to author ieo Mich a vote I Duelmnnn, w lion bo canto into power, appointed tho leaders of tho "Holder ltuftians," and men wh'MQ Imnd wero red with the blood of tuarderod free State men, to the ClihT Federal odiceff fit tho Territory. Alllhee things havo been approvoil by tho louder of Democracy, proving incnntestiblr tho truth of the charge of tho Ikepullican pntty aa to tho purpose of the repeal of tho Missouri Compromise. Can any man deny thco stateincuts ? nil rnrsiPEXT a kassam rotter. The Leeompton pcheme, by which the ooplo if ICiirM.i, the white tarn of that Territory, Men lobbed of their oirthright and politically enslaved, coiintititled the corncr'stono of Ituclmnaii' policj.

Was this the "perfect freedom" in self-government which wan tiromi-fd in lS"t under tho Xcbraka Hill ? Buchanan, in a cpt'ciat tuessue live eoluins iir Ion ith, denouncing tho free Stato men of Kansas as traitors, and urged Con;rs to admit Kaiisus into t!o Union their own way," and in strict accordance wUh the organic act framed a conslitu and Stato Government, Ac."

And every U. S. Sona J tor and Representative in Congress who would not say amen to this.wa denoun cod by tho orthodox democrats us "(,?

Lvery Kcnator, elected as a Democrat, au.stained this policy ex cept Douglas, Stewart and Urodcrick and thej hare been read out of tho j ar ty f lue auminiHtration continues to Ihm I its thunderbolts at Douglas in bis J struggle with giants in Illinois. 'lh( herd of Federal office-holder fell otT bv the basket full daily until every man Toombs bill, which passed tho Senate in 1856, contained no provision requiring the constitution tobe submitted to a vote of tho peoplo at tho bal ot tox, as did the Minnesota enabling act. Neither does t!io English conference bill. Tho objection to this policy of the Democratic party was, that it was an attompt, deliberatoly mado und backed by all the power of the administration,

to enslave the vhite vcovle of Kansas

and to depriro thorn of the right oi self-government. . THK INOtlsn CONtERCNCI BILL. Judkjo Holman says Buchanan had been in ofllcj sixteen months, and yet slavery ha not been extended under his administration. Who Is to be thanked ? The Democratic party tiacd all It power to force whito slavery into Kansas, and to force Kansas witn slavery Into the Union, notwithstanding tho vehement protest of her people at the ballot box. JSvery Kcpublican in Con trross raised his voico against the con sumation of tho iniquity, and with the aid of twenty. two Douglus men and six Smith Americans in the IIoiiso, the gigantic efforts of the Democracy to force Kanxas into tho Union under a constitution, which the people had reicctcd on the 4th of January, 1838, were defeated. 1 he Uonglas men who stood firm. in their opposition to the Kansas policy of Buchanan, havo all .. . ... . .. been repudiatod bjr tho party. Men are not allowed to vote for their constit ucnts, if they are Democrats; but they must vote as the President dictates. But not content with the rejection of tho Lecompton bill by the House, and of tho constitution itself by the people of Kansas, tho Democracy got up the Ureen-Lnglish bill, which is meaner, il possible, than th? Lecompton swindle iclf. The Inttcr was n bold effort to rob the people of their birthright, the former, a sneaking,' miserablo dcriso to cheat or bnbo them ant of it. Holman says the Lecompton constitution was virtually submitted by the English bill. Grant it, for the sake of tho argument, though each is oot tho fact. The substances, and all there was of the English bill, might be staled in a dozen words. It said to the people of Kanus; Take i.egro slavery and como into- the Union under ft constitution which was "born in fraud and baptized in perjury" and you may have lands, and bo admitted without regard to your populations; j .'nit if you will not tako slavery, then y u shall not como into tho Union until von havo tho lust man, woman or child .necessary to constituto in habitant.. In other words, 40,000 inhabitauts .trc enough for a slavo Kta'.e; but if the j-coplo of a Territory want free institutions, such ns prevnir lo seventeen Statt" of the Union, and under vi hielt civilisation and tho arts and sciences are mukiii their most rapid lovelopmcnt. then vou hall not come in with less than 03.000 inhabitants.

They havo shown thoy cannot bo trusted with this question, by numerous circumstances. THE DRCD SCOTT DECISION. Mr. H. s.tid ho had bscn talking about tho Dred Scott decision in the cunvasn; but it was ditllcult, as on other questions, to got his competitor to an . . . 'IM. . o . r -.1 wub, auo oupromo uourt oi tno united States, after dismissing tho ctso for want of jurisdiction, had nroceodod to decide somo gravo political questions, which he thought wero not binding on lho eoau'.ry. They had overruled for mer decisions, und declared tho whole legislation of sixty years, including the Missouri Cinipromif-o. unonstitutional ind void. Tlioy had ta'ien up tho explodcd doctrine of John C. Calhoun, first brought firward so.netwouty years TgörTtiatLiho Constitution of the Un! tod State eiirrioi'Slaverj' into all the Territories, without any pr.ver on the part ot tho people, of Congress or of lei i itonul legislatures to exclude it, and lechtred it tobj the true doclrino of the Constitution." IDs coinpjtitot' not li lting the leap of his party ir. four years, from the J ctrlno that slaven was tho creature of local law, to its universality in tho Territories uodjr nod by force of tho Constitution, denies that the Jourt decided this last proposition. The Cjurt speaks for itsolf, und says in so many words that Congress cannot exclude Slavery, nud that it cannot delegato tho power to a Territorial Legisaluro. Mr. Huc-hanan says in his Kauas message, which is tipprovod by the Urcensburg Platform : "It has been solemnly nljudgrd bv the highest judicial triUuual known to our laws, that Slavery exists in Kansas oy virtue ot tho Constitution ot United Stales. Kansas is, therefore, at this moment as much of n slavo Slate as Georgia or South Carolina. Without this tho equality of lho sovereign States composing tho Union would bo violatod, and tho ;iso and enjoyment of i Tendory ncquirod by the common treasure of all the States, would bo closed i.gatnst the people and tho property of .nearly i'ilt lho members ot the confederacy. Slavery can, therefore, never be prolibited in Kansas oxcept by means ol i constitutional provision, and in no other manner can this be obtained j iromptly, if a majority of tho people tcsiro it, in by admitting it into tho Union under its present constitution." 31 r. Hughes, tho leading Buchanan man in the Houso from the North-West, said the same thing in a speech made in the House on tho 2nd day of Februa ry, 18öS. In reply to it quisüon put uy jur. nnerman, ot uino, I u said: 'lho Supreme Court of tho United States having decided, us ho under stands, anu as the counlry understands, and us you and I, Mr. Speaker, under stand, that tho Constitution carries Sla very into the Territories, is lho gentle man, in good faith, willing to abide bj that decision and carry it out'" Tho Washington Union of a 'recent late, said this was tho most important part of the decision: "The viott impor tant part of the decision it thnt which denies t j Ad legislatures or provisional govern mrnts of the Territories, while in a Ttrri toriol comtition, the rijht of prohibiting blavcru within their borders. Hits is tho universal doctrino ot lue party; yet Judge Holman is to anxious io get into Congress, whilo dolcnding lho decision, ho denies that tho main point decided was decided at all! hat do vou think of such it man Is ho not over anxious to represent you? Mr IL. said, should ho be elected, ho would be governed by tho views of Jcffordoit Jackson, Benion, Sumner and others, that each department of tho govern nicnl is separate, co-ordinato und independent, and must on all political questions decido the constitution for itself.
