Upon what pretence—ffov what-bet-
recovery of chattels, and t ie daw for j Wr.doptrine is . the shivery agitation
the punishment of larceny.
By the Jaws of the United States, (satisfy us all ‘t
he who steals my slave in a territory prove the law f
is guilty of Weeny, and ho who con
verts my slave is liable to me in dam
ages, for the same reason in both
„ cases—The slave is by the law of the
same power, property of value. The
Courts of the Uuited States arc open
in the Territory for the administration
•of these laws. The Slaveholder is
.not dependent on the Territorial
Legislature for his title, or his remedy,
but is altogether independent of it on
both points, because both arc recog
nized and protected by a Constitution
and a law which Territorial Legisla
tures cannot repeal. The nationnl
flag is the Slaveholder’s power and
protection whenever it floats.
But suppose the Territorial Legis
lature should pass a law against you
any how; or suppose the Courts and
juries, and people should refuse to
enforce the law in your favor, but by
force execute an unconstitutional act
against you? What then? The an
swer is easy, for
3rd. This doctrine of Mr. Doug
las' assumes that there can be such a
thing ns a Goverment which does not
protect the citizen, and cannot ex
ecute its own laws. Is the Gover-
ment to look on idly, and see its own
officers violate its own laws to the in
jury of its own citizens ? Has no pow
er fo protract ?- Then it is no Gover
ment, but a frace. Has it no will to
protect ? Then it is mean and oppress
ive, and entitled to neither respect
nor obedience. Has it the power and
the will, but fails to execute either
because the policy or platform of a
dominant party forbids it ? Then
such a party is meaner and more op
pressive still, *is unfit to administer
any Government, and the very salva
tion of both the Government and the
citizen demands that such a party be
repudiated by nil honest men. Obe
dience and protection are reciprocal,
and the first is only due by the citize n
when tiie latter is accorded by the
Government. Protection to the per
son and property of the citizen is the
voi v object of Government, and it is
only on this condition that obedience
is a virtue or disobedience a crime.
4th. But again, this’ doctrine, ol
Mr Douglas allows to the Territori
al Legislature and people what it de-
*-nies to Congress. But-how ?-for the
Territorial Legislature is the creature
of Congress, and is actually treated
by Congress for no other purpose,
than to observe the law and protect
the citizens—all the citizens in per-
son and property-—and when it fails
or refuses to do this, it has defected
the only object of its organization,
and the General Government—each
department in its proper sphere—
must simply do directly what, by its
agents, it could not do indirectly
It seems to me that reasoning cannot
he clearer, or more correct
But why enter into argument to
show that Senator Dougins is wrong ?
-Bis doctrine is just as palpable in
the teeth of the decisions by the Su
preme Court as the doctrine of Se
ward and the Republicans. „ Both
the power and duty of protection are
distinctly decided in both the Dred
Scott and Amy cases. By his pro
fessions Douglas pretends to stand by
the decisions, and in the very midst
of his professions, advances doctrines
against even the letter, language and
spirit of the decisions. He has the
same venom that Seward has, but
tables it: He approaches the South
with the same weapon, hut conceals
it and deludes with the cry, “a friend
is coming! ’’
When the General Government
fails from any cause to protect the
slaveholder in the Territories, then
as to the Slaveholder the Government
i« no longer a Government, and all
who are interested in slaves are dis
charged from obedience to it; and

administer this Government, his ve
ry choice will be a "declaration that
there is no Government for the slave
holder, and every word I have writ
ten against the success of Republi
canism. I repeat here with all the
enperadded emphasis which indigna
tion can acquire from seeing hypocri
sy added to wrong.
Both the parties thus assaulting
these decisions, and through them,
the rights of the slaveholder, are pre-
pari^g to elect a President in 1860.
One of them even counts on an un
divided South for Support. The de
lusion of pretended friendship. is to
secure Southern support, andi the
roal freesoilism of doctrine is to Car
ry a sufficiency of the North.
The duty of the Southern people,
it seems Jo me is so plain,-that no
man can uustakh it. Let m all
unite-—-not on party—but on the law.
The Kansas bill can’t save us. It.
has failed, and from that. Bill Mr.
Douglas borrows- the arguments, by
which he attacks the decisions in the
Dred Scott and Amy cases, in the
manner set firth before. The en
dorsement which the South gave tliai
Bill in 1856, might now prove her
rain, but there is a way
Since that time the Court has set-
tied the law for u». Let us, like

the most solemn sanctions of law dis

.divide us? Let If? throw away lon
ger reliance nyion Party, and let us
wake up the sleeping genius of Pa
triotism that these storms of agitation
may be rebuked until tbe winds are
stilled and peace restored to a dis
tracted crew.
In the present canvass let us 1 av:
no mere party candidates. Let us
take our stand on the law, and give
notice to all the North, andall parties
that we arc done with contentions—
done with double-meaning resolutions
—done with Congressional tricks—
done with discussing Congressional
power over Slavery. Lotus say the
law has been pronounced. The judge
ment has been entered a*nd there is
no appeal. By it wc will stand and
will tolerate no party which doubts
its correctness, or hesitates to enforce
it. Let Georgia, with an undivided
voice, speak this warning from the
ballot box in October next. Let us
say, we will obey the law ourselves,
•and we will submit to the rule of no
power that seeks its abrogation or re
versal. If the South will but do this
—if Georgia toll do it—the reign of
the Demagogue is over, and the day
of fanaticism has passed.
Will Governor Brown now recon
sider and repudiate, or at least leave
in abeyance, a mere party nomina
tion. am! take this position? Will
he repudiate Douglas and his doc
trines and Seward, and all parties for
the time being, and agree to support
in the future on 1 }- that party or that
man who shall distinctlycomc to this
position? If so, all other grounds of
difference shall be forgotten, and I
will give him my humble support.
It. is indispensable to success that
the Southern l)emo'craey.shouldtal»c j
this position, for it u in.the Demo- j
era tic party that one of thq'doetrines |
which is at,war with'the InVaml our
rights, finds its home and {tJ strength.
If Southern Democrats would pre
serve their self-respect they must take
this position. In 18otj<ui4 1857, we
of ffidMhncricans insiskMLikat Mr.'
DonglSpbceupied the uwryTpositjon
in wbjeh wc'now .find litm. and our
objections to the Kansas Bill were its
squatter (or popular) soverignty and
alien suffrage features, by the first of
which this principle of Douglas was
to he fixed on the Territories, and by
the second the population was to he
secured which was to make the prin
ciple effective. The Democrats per
sistently and everywhere denied our
charges both as to Douglas and the
Kansas Bill. But it has turned out
that wo were right and they, were
mistaken. We speak nothing in the
spirit of triumph, * Wc do not ask the
Democrats to join our party, but we
do ask them to abandon those who
deceived them, and meet us on the
common high ground of right and
help us tp defend the law. We make
no boast, we claim no reward, for
we only did our duty.
I make the appeal directly to Gov.
Brown, and hope wc shall hear from
him before the 10th day of August.
Will he repudiate party, and stand
on the law with us, or will he remain
a party candidate, standing on the
Cincinatti Platform where Douglas
and Van Buren arc also standing and
preaching their free soil heresies?
If he has not the courage or strength
to break bis party fetters, will the
chivalrous Thomas do it ? If no De
mocrat has the nerve to quit his par
ty and come to the country, will not

I have written, Sir, as I think. I

can easily fill up the argument. I
will not conceal from any, whither,
in my opinion, the pttMqyl have sug

If in I860 the Democratic Party

the requisites of this letter, and our
party shall fail to do so, .then, to be
consistent, tfo must and we will go

ests of this section of tho Union. It
has vaunted itself as the only relia-
* bio, party for the South, and every
body who refused to act with it, has
been denounced as untrue anil the aj-
ly of Aholitiouism. But what afe
the facts of history ?
In the first place every Abolition
leader for the Presidency from 1848
to now, has been taken from the De
mocratic part}'.. And, what is yet
more significant, every such leader,
when he chose to return, lias been
received back into the Democratic
party, without any repentance, and
'1 without the retraction of. a single
Word of his Abolition heresy ! Mr.
Van Buren went back openly declar
ing that under the Kansas Demoara-
<y. Frccs'itismcould best accomplish
its mission, and with this strong de
claration on Ms Ups, arAprinted and
published, he ami hi3 Soft associates
were received into the Democratic
‘fold !
Again, we have heard much Of the
Wilmot Proviso, Squatter Sovereign
ty, Unfriendly Territorial legislation,
a nd non protection to slave property,
etc; but will the people of the South
learn the significant ‘fact that each of
these heresies had its father in the
Democratic party ? Yet this is not
only so, but the toast vigorous and
powerful of these fathers, are at this
very moment the leaders of the De
mocratic party, and aspiring to the
highest honors in the Nation !
Freesoil leaders, and Free tun] prin
ciples, then, received their strength
from, had their birth, and r.ow find
their home in, the Democratic par
ty !
But this is not all nor the worst.—
The party as an organization, through
its leaders, has been guilty of more
acts of treachery and bad faith to
the South than all otjier parties. In
1856 that party urged us to elect Mr.
Buchanan a3 our only .hope. The
people—Sontliern people—^elected
him. Now who of them dare support
him—how many of them abuse him ?
And yet the foundation of all his
works, has'bcen in administering the
Governmpnt to keep up his party !—
Iivl857 we were told the only way
to secure the rights of the South was
to elect Democrats, and give a De
mocratic President a Democratic
Congress. The people did so. What
is the result ? The English Bill!—
that degradation of legislation, and
abomination of hypocrisy! It it as
divided, perfected and made a law
by the Democracy ; and the South
ern leaders themselves admit the bill
was wrong—a trick—and a sacrifice
of Southern rights! 1 hen why did
those Southern guardians pass it?—
Will the honest people hear the reason.
They say it was neecessarv to paS3
the Bill in order to save the Demo-
oratic party! That is, the party
that was elected to save the South,
sacrificed the South to save the par
ty ! During the canvass the cry was,

“Our whole community was shock

brief illness of u few days. jOn
Thursday of lust week Ml*. Stubbs
came down to his office, bntT.ad to
return, from inability to attend to
business. Ills disease was Typhoid
