The Reason the Democratic

great speech at the opening of tbe last'
Congress prepared the,country for these
measures. 'The V^mmgron~T7hny», the
organ of the Democratic party, advocat
ed almost the precise plan of the present
Compromise, long before any plan was
proposed by any member of Congress.
The Democratic party in nearly every
Northern State has adopted the Compro
mise ; wo believe there is but one or two
exceptions, viz: Massachusetts and Ohio.
The nominee of the Democratic party is
certain to be an advocate of the Com
promise. If the Baltimore Convention
adopts the Compromise, it will lose
scarcely a vote by it—but on the other
hand, it will be certain to carry tbe
whole fifteen Southern States. If it re
fuses to adopt tbe Compromise, its can
didate being a Compromise man, it will
gain nothing; and on the other hand, by
thus refusing, there will be very little
prospect of carrying a single Southern
State. If principle will uot lead the
Convention te wdonLthe finality of the
Compromise, policy certainly willV^^

Some are of the opinion that the best
plan will be to place in the Presidential
chair one who is pledged to exert all the
powers of his office to put them down,
who will appoint none of them to office,
who will turn out any who may be al
ready in, who will enforce the fugitive
slave law with as much energy as Mr.
Fillmore has done, who will stir them
up generally with a long pole for the
