MAGOFFIN'S OWN WORDS ON PROTECTION The Courier Indorsed and the Democrat States Statesman - man Statesman and Yooman Repudiated 0 BIG IN AND JUST 0 BY OF THE ISSUE Some Grtiod Advice to Brother Editors When the Mexican war was closed and the treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo gave us Utah and New Mexico the alavery question caused muJi trouble concerning these Territories DitFerence DitFerence-of - of DitFerence-of opinion existed among members of Congress which wore only reconciled by an agreement to leave the vexed negro question to the Supreme Court to settle This agreement was the origin of the doctrine of non-intervention which formed a part of the compromise measures of 1850 - Non intervention therefore meant that Congress was not to intervene or interfere with the decision of the court but that however the slavery ques question - tion question might be decided by the Court the decision was to be abided by all Consequently the Democratic party inserted this agreement as to non-intervention in their na national - tional national platforms for 1852 and 1856 It was all right to do this for when the last platform was adopted at Cincinnati in June 1856 the court had not decided the question It was further under understood - stood understood as the Democratic creed when the Cincin Cincinnati - nati Cincinnati platform was adopted that the inhabitants of a Territory could not exclude slavery during the Territorial condition and that they could only excb lo it wlj they f into jAc Uttiou u? no v '1 u v'orey a Stale President Bu Buchanan - chanan Buchanan was voted for in the South with this un understanding - derstanding understanding of the slavery resolutions of that platform and could not have been elected with any other understanding of them la the latter part of the year 1856 the Supreme Court rendered its opinion upon the slavery ques question - tion question which had been left to its decision by the compromise measures of 1850 and the Demo Democratic - cratic Democratic platforms of 1852 and 1856 The following quotations from that decision known as the Dred Scott opinion will suffice for our present pur purpose - pose purpose : The right of property in a slave is distinctly and expresslv affirmed in the Constitution If the Constitution recognizes the right of property of the master in a slave and makes no distinction between that description of property and other property owned by a citizen no tribu tribunal - nal tribunal acting under the authority of the United States - whether it be Legislative Executive or Judicial - has a right to draw such a distinction or deny to it the benefit of the provisions and guarantees which have been provided for the protection of private property And if Congress itself cannot do this - if it is beyond the power conferred on the Federal Gov Government - - ernment - Government - it will be admitted we presume that it could not authorize a Territorial Government to exercise them It could confer no power on any local government established by its author authority - ity authority to violate the provisions of the Constitution No word can be found in the Constitution which igiveB Congress a greater power over slave prop property - erty property or which entitles property of that kiud to less protection than property of any other des cription The only power conferred is the power coupled with the duty of guarding and protecting the owner in his rights If non-intervention therefore meaus anything after this decision it means that neither Congress nor a Territorial Legislature nor the inhabitants of a Territory nor anybody else shall intervene against the rights of slaveholders in a Territory during the Territorial condition Slavery is in the Territories and can be protected by Govern Government - ment Government but not impaired or destroyed without vio violating - lating violating the Constitution Two years after this decision however the Hon Stephen A Douglas for the purpose of securing enough semi-Abolition Democratic votes to return him to the United States Senate from Illinois departed from the true docrine of the Cincinnati platform and opposed the admission of Kansas as a slave State under the Lecompton Constitu Constitution - tion Constitution Many were the Black Republicans who - docked' to the standard of rebellion he thus raided on the Kansas question and the music of their voices was so sweet that he gavethem practical Abolitionism as a reward in his cele brated cam campaign - paign campaign speecb at Freeport on the 27th of August ? 1858 in the following words : In my opinion the people of a Territory can by lawful means exclude slavery before it comes in as a State The people of a Territory have the lawful means to admit it (slavery) or exclude it as they please for the reason that slavery cannot exist a day or an hour anywhere unless supported by local po police - lice police regulations furnishing remedies and means for enforcing the right to hold slaves Hence no matter what may be the decision of the Supreme Court on that abstract question still the right of a people to make it a slave Ter Territory - ritory Territory on a free Territory is perfect and complete under the Nebraska bill Here was a Black Republican heresy boldly pro pro-mulged - mulged pro-mulged in the sacred name of Democracy and the Louisville Democrat attempted to make heretics of the Democrats of Kentucky by endorsing Douglas iu the following words: The great and only question now before the country is intervention or non-intervention Do they (the Democracy) suppose that they can re repudiate - pudiate repudiate him (Douglas) and the position he occu occupies - pies occupies on this great question and elect a President? That they cannot is plain to every Democrat of the South who understands anything of the cur current - rent current of opinion in the country Against this heresy we lifted our voice when we saw that the issue was clearly made in this State and bound to be met We did not think the Democracy of Kentucky ought thus to be led into practical Abolitiouisaa for the pur pose of electing a President Indeed we thought that a Presi President - dent President elected at the sacrifice of principle and the Constitutional rights of the South could not be very much better than a Black Repu blican and we think so yet The Democratic Convention which met at Frankfort on the 8th of January last bad adopted the Dred Scott opinion by the following resolu resolution - tion resolution : j Resolved That we cordially and heartily ap approve - prove approve of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Dred Scott case Our course was therefore clear in taking posi position - tion position against the Douglas heresy We had pledged ourselves to stand by our State platform and that platform embodied the Dred Scott opinion We therefore contended that Congrees had the power to protect slavery in the Territories and that it had not the power to destroy that the Territorial Legislature as the agent of Congress had the delegated power to protect only and could not therefore destroy that the inhabitants of a Territory could only exclude slavery when they came into the Un'on as citizens of a sovereign State and that it was the duty of Congress yea of all the powers of the Federal Government to protect slavery in the Territories whenever it was necessary or in other words whenever the Territorial authorities refused to do their duty and the Judiciary failed to remedy the evil And to meet the Douglas heresy we went further and said that we did not believe the Fugitive Slave Law and the Courts and Territorial authorities were protection enough from the fact that if Doug Douglas - las Douglas was to be sustained in saying that a Terri Territorial - torial Territorial Legislature might lawfully exclude slavery we could see no reason for appealing to the Courts in the Territories to declare unlawful an act which was lawful If however this Douglas heresy had been out of the way we should have been willing to have rested upon the pro protection - tection protection of the Territorial authorities and the Federal Courts until at least they were shown to be inadequate When wo took this position we did not suppose that any of our cotemporaries who pretended to be Democrats and Southerners would seriously in §ist upon any other We were however mis taken We found persistent opponents in the Cincinnati Enquirer which in spite of its Wilmot Proviso Missouri restriction record presumed to teach Kentucky Democrats their duty on the slavery question and in the Louisville Democrat Lexington Statesman and Frankfort Yeoman which together formed a nucleus around which gathered those who were willing to teach the South to cry out non-intervention at the sugges suggestion - tion suggestion of her enemies designing to free one half of pvjr negroes by unfriendly legislation in alerri alerri-tory - tory alerri-tory and steal the other half while we stood still find SUng OUt NOy-iyTERVBNTlONf ?hc Cincinnati Enquirer assumed a hostile posiiit) as follows: "The Democracy of the ree States do not and never did believe that slavery exists in the Ter Territories - ritories Territories under the Constitution of the United ft i 7r Those who demand that Congress shall protect slavery in the Territories are in direct conflict with the Democratic creed The Louisville Democrat stood by the Enqui Enquirer - rer Enquirer as follows : We dissent entirely from the policy of allow allowing - ing allowing Congress to interfere with the Territories

usvii'e fort Yeoman to id o t tu Stnl j-i- -ap Fran'' omne genus did not place him His position is substantially that assumed by the Courier from the beginning as any one will see by reading the following from his own pen Mr Magoffin says : "That Congress has the power to protect while it cannot prohibit slavery in the Territories that the Territorial Legislature as its agent cannot exclude or abolish slavery directly or indirectly by unfriendly legislation that such legislation is void and would be declared unconstitutional by the Federal courts that it is the-duty of the Terri Territorial - torial Territorial Legislature to protect slave properly and property of all kinds that the rights of property of all kinds are under the protection of the govern government - ment government the Constitution and the Laws that our rights and remedies seem to be now complete in the Territories and nothing has occurred to show their inadequacy that the Democratic party has brought us to this position o f safety against all the efforts of the Opposition entertaining differ different - ent different opinions on the subject and forming combi combinations - nations combinations to destroy it that the struggles and vic victories - tories victories over other parties have clearly shown that ours is the only party capable of protecting our rights or guarding them in the future and if it should be necessary to pass laws to enforce the de decrees - crees decrees of the judiciary or even to call out troops that it would be the duty of the government to do so" And now oh! ye gallant editors who read us out of the party for not being sound on the Ter Territorial - ritorial Territorial question and for misrepresenting Mr Ma Magoffin - goffin Magoffin come down from your high horse and go to work with us to elect our candidates They all agree substantially with Mr Magoffin so far as we can learn and as you can't read us out of the party without reading them out also we think you had better quit reading for a while lest you be read out yourselves Go to work now like clever fellows and we will forgive your past sins and plead with the Democracy of the State to for forgive - give forgive you also for you have wronged the party enough to need much help to insure forgiveness Don't forget however when you again speak of Mr Magoffin's position to acknowledge that he asserts the power of Congress to protect slavery in the Territories and denies its power to destroy that he says the Territorial Legislature can't ex exclude - clude exclude slavery by unfriendly legislation directly or indirectly and that when it is shown that the protection now afforded by tne courts Ac is in inadequate - adequate inadequate he will go for the passage of laws by Congress which will secure all the protection needed We know that this position hurts our neighbor of the Democrat who says Congress has no power to protect and don't accord with the Statesman which has argued earnestly if not sensibly that the admission of the power to pro protect - tect protect is a concession or tne cognate power to de destroy - stroy destroy and don't suit the Yeoman which thought it bad policy in the South to ask Congress to pro protect - tect protect slavery or even to admit the right to do so This is pretty tight on you Messrs Editors but you must come up to it and when you fully ap appreciate - preciate appreciate your position now and then you will not be likely to lean to a Douglas heresy agaiu at the risk of your own Democratic standing and the success of all your partizans in a Southern State The Cincinnati Enquirer The Louisville Courier has much to say of "Democratic sheep's clothing" Where did the breed of Democratic sheep originate? Where are the lambkins to be found? - Gin Com The above question is put by the editor of the Commercial who lives in Cincinnati and sees the 54° 40' man of the Enquirer and ought to know all about him We answer then by asking if the editor of the Enquirer in his pretended character of a Southern Democrat does not look sheepish enough to be said to be an Abolition wolf in Dem Dem-cratic - cratic Dem-cratic sheep's clothing and to be the progenitor of the entire breed of sheepish Democrats? You are an honest Republican Mr Editor of the Commercial and although we dis disagree - agree disagree with you in politics as black is to white we respect you for the manly avowal of your principles Tell us therefore how many of these lambkins you think might be traced to the negropolite of the Enquirer who one day voted for the Wilmot Proviso made a 54a 40' speech the next opposed the repeal of the Mis Missouri - souri Missouri restriction the next voted for the Aboli Abolitionist - tionist Abolitionist Day the next took a respite for Lecomp Lecompton - ton Lecompton long enough to get the Cincinnati Postoffice declared the next day that slavery does not exist in the Territories of the United States under the Constitution and said the next that the inhabi inhabitants - tants inhabitants of a Territory could abolish slavery when they pleased during the Territorial condition and before they came into the Union as citizens of a sovereign State? It seems to us that such a man when he claims to be a Democrat true to the South might be considered the head tail and body of the entire sheepish breed and that to designate him as a 54° 40' negrophilite attempting the character of a Southern philosopher or a mysterious Free Nig Nig-gerite - gerite Nig-gerite playing the part of a slavery propagandist or an Abolition wolf iu Democratic sheep's cloth clothing - ing clothing is to use epithets according to the directions of the best lexicographers Humphrey Marshall Declines the Honor It will be remembered that some time ago we said that we did not think the Hon Humphrey Marshall would accept the Opposition nomination for Congress in this district The Louisville Jour Journal - nal Journal became furious at our prophecy and did the next thing to swearing upon the K N ritu ritual - al ritual and the great paper or indictment that it knew all about the matter that we knew nothing about it and that Mr Marshall would accept the nomination and make the race and not run but walk right over the track We still were not convinced but bolding to our belief that Mr Marshall did not like the manner in which Bell had fixed up things in the convention of Nicholasites Rqbertsonites Harlauites Pren Pren-ticeites - ticeites Pren-ticeites and comers-down-to-a-level-with-the-people generally aud that he rather occupied the position of the Louisville Democrat than the Jour Journal - nal Journal on the question of protecting slavery in the Territories we thought he would neither walk nor run over the track It now turns out that we were right as the following cold comfortless and contemptuous letter published in the Jour Journal - nal Journal of yesterday will show : Louisville May 25 1859 Gentlemen : I had the honor to receive some weeks since your letter informing me that I had been "unanimously nominated by the Opposition Convention which met at Lagrange on the 23d of April" for re-election to Congress V arious oauses have conspired to produce unusual delay in my reply to this flattering expression of the confi confidence - dence confidence of my former constituents among which I need only to specify my own desire to mature by reflection my own judgment as to my duty under all the circumstances by which I am sur surrounded - rounded surrounded Having arrived at the conclusion that I ought now rather to seek retirement from politics than a renewal of my connection with public affairs the present affords me the opportunity to indulge my cherished purpose to leave the agitation of public questions to others in whose hands they will be better directed than mine I regret that I have not been able to communicate this result at an earlier day but I avail myself of the occa occasion - sion occasion of declining the nomination you have ten tendered - dered tendered to me to thank the convention and your yourselves - selves yourselves for the kind manner in which they and you have offered the high trust in question I am gentlemen yours truly dtc II MARSHALL Neoroes for Liberia - The New York Times of the 25th says: Yesterday the bark Mende carried away from the city thirty emigrants to Liberia who go out under the supervision of tle Colonization Society This is by far the largest number of colored emi emigrants - grants emigrants sent tp Liberia from Ne w Y erk in one company
