“Ugon the distracting question domestic slave

trine of protection” b^ 4 the Douglas men at CluHles

And now these seceders ©have nominated Brecken-
who occupies the petition of Douglas on this
“protection doctrine,” who is about as deep in the
mire Sovereignly as Noughts is in the
mud!® Are the Seceders not consistent— i#er ttie
left. ® ®
llaving®convicted Breckenridge of Squatter Sove
reignty, we now propose to arraign him upon the
doctrine 0 !of non intervention. iP wc prove this upon
1 him, then there is no difference him and
J>ouglas@on the great issue which so<3atcly distract
ed and rent thegDcmocratic party into fragments.—
The Memphis Appeal, a democratic paper writes as
follows:
If anything was wanting to sh®w the utter du
plicity and hypocrisy of the secession movement at
it may be fond in the nomination of
Breckcuridgfe by those same men at Baltimore. Tlte
senders placed and their disorganizing
movement on the high ground of principle—the
principle of protection to slave property in the
Territories by act of Congress. Had they feecn ear
nest and (Sincere in this position, they would have
nominated at Baltimore a man who sas the repre
sentative of that principle, Mr, Yancey, Mr. Davis
or Mr. Brown, ®
So far from this, they have, as we are prepared to
(>show, nominated a gentleman who is as thoroughly
committed to the doctrine of non-intervention and
popular sovereignty as Mr. Douglas®hiraself. To
prove this we submit the following extracts from the
speech of Mr. in the House
of Representatives, on the Kansas Nebraska bill,
March®2B, 1804. Speaking to the point under dis
cussion. he said :
But ft non-intervcntioqgby Congress be the prin
ciple that underlies the compromise tlien
the prohibition of 1820, being inconsistent with that
principle, shield be removed and perfect non-inter®
vention thus established by law.
Among the many Misrepresentations sent to the
country by some of the enenes of this bUI, perhaps
no one is more flagrant than the charge that it proposes
to legislate slavery into Nebraska and Kansas. Sir, if
the bgl contained such a feature it would not receive my
v °te■ The right to establish involves the correlative right
to prohibit, and denying both, I would vote foroneither.
I go further, the opinion that a claifSe
legislating slavery jnß> those teratories couf9 not
command one southern vote in this House. It is
to both Sections of the country and the people
to expose this groundless charge. What, then, is
the piesent condition of Nebraska and Kansas?
\\ by sir, there is no government, no slavery,® and
®teijr little population there ; (for your Federal laws
exclude_your citizens) uut a law remains on the
statute-book forever prohibiting Slavery in these
Territories. It is to take offethis
Inhibition, but not to make an enactment in the af
firmance of. slavery there. N T ow,®n t the absence of
any law establishing slavery i%that region, previous
to the prohibiting act, Jt is tgo clear for dispute, that
s>t!ie repeal of tire prohibition has not the affirmative
f fleet of fixing slavery ,in that country. The effect
of the repeal, therefore, is ueitheirlo establish or
exclude, but to leave the future condition es the Terri
tories dependent wholly upon the action of the inhabi
tants, subject only to such limitations-as the Federal
Constitution may impose. But to guard fully against
honest misconstruction, and even against malicious
perversion, the language of the bill is perfectly ex
plicit on this point,
********
Tt will be observed, that the rights of the people
to regulate in their own way all their domestic insti
tutions, is left wholly untouched, except that, what
ever is done,’ must be done in accordance with the
Constitution—the supreme law for us all. And the
rights of property under the Constjtqtjon r as well as
legislative action, is properly left to the decision of
the Federal judiciary. This avoids S contested is
sue which is hardly in the competency of Congress
to decide, and refers it to the proper tribunal.
@ ********
Then, sir, neither, the purpose nor the effect, of
°tlie bill is to legislate slavery into Nebraska • and
Kansas, but its effect is to sweep away this vestige
of congressional dictating on this subject, to allow
the free citizens of this Union to enter the common*
territifry with the Constitution nnd the bill alone in
hands, o nnd to submit the decision of th®r
rights under both to the courts of the country.
can go before his constituents refusing to
©stand on the plat for m ®>f Hie Constitution? Who
can nfcke a case to them of refiling to abide the*
decision of tlie of the Unioifc? ®
Sir, nothing about refined distinctions, or
subtleties, or verbal criticism. 1 repeat the broad
and plain proposi®n, that if Congress may inter
vene on tliis s#bject, it may intervene on any other,
and having thus surrendered the principle, amlffiro
ken affffly from constitutional limitations, you are
driven into the very lap of arbitrary powe% By
this.aloctrite, you may erect a despotism under the
American system. The whqjp theory is on
our institutions. It us back to the abhor- 1 *
principles of British cflonial authority, against
which we made iss'ie otYindependence. nev
er acquiesced in tliis odious claim, nna will not be- 8 * 1

Public Sentiment.
Our neighbor has written an article so well to the
point, for Bell arid Everett, that we adopt it, only
substituting out own candidates: ®
It is gratifying to observe with what unanimity
the nomination of Bell and Everett are greeted, not
only in Georgia but throughout the e#lire%outb.—
You can scarcely pick up a paper from any quarter
without seeing the namesTnentioned with laudation.
It said, that public opinion is moulded nnd
shaped by the press. This is only the crude notion
of the uninitiated. Nine times out of ten,-if not
Ninety-nine out of a hundred, the press but re-ech
oes the sentiment previously promulgated by the
public voice. This is certainly true in the present
instance. It has been a long time since we have
lreard a more hearty shout or unanimous response
from the .people of the South, than what has been
given to the nominations of Bell and Everett by tli#
people. And tliis has been instantaneous as well as
simultaneous; not after the press and the rostrum
have been for a long time working upon public feel
ing, but it is the generous outburst from the snrm
hearts of those who look for no office, have no public
i favors to ask, and only wish to enjoy the benefits of
a constitutional republican government in common
with their fellow citizens These are Ihe men that
rejoice in the nomination of Bell nnd Everett, and
will eventually confirm that rejoicing by their’ bal
lots at the polls.

Georgia Presidential Flectors!
The Constitution of the United States ordains that
each State shalFappoint own electors ot Presi
dent and Vice-President in such mariner ns the Leg
islature thereof Hiall prescribe, and there is nq£on
stitutional or statutory provision about the matter,
except an act requiring a-uniform day for the elec
tion throughout the United States.®
In Georgia, the statue requires a majority of the
whole number of votes cast to elect a Presidential
such a vote, that majority may, by an election among
yiemselves, supply the vacancies in the college.—
But if a less number are elected by the people, the
vacancies must be filled by Legislative election, and
the Governor is authorized to call a special session
of the General Assembly for that purpose. The
same is true, of course, if none of the electoral can
didates get such a majority. Then the duty of elect
ing an entire electoral college devolve-! on the Legis
lature, which in this case is already chosen, so that
the question in that ulterior resort, may be consider
ed already settled.— Macon Telegraph.

— E. C, Marshall's Speech at Philadelphia. ,
Mr. Ererrlt and the South.
We extract the following passage front a speech
delivered in Congress, in 1826, by lion. Edward
Everetts It shows the horror and repugnance with
which, in early life, he regarded attempts to excite
the slaves of the South to dissatisfaction and rebell
ion He. was also one of- the first Nor.hern statesmen
to condemn in proper^terms the infamous raid of ,
John Brown : @
“If there are any members in the House of that
politicians to whom the gentleman from
North Carolina, (Air. Saunders) alluded, as"having
tHe disposition, though iftt the power, to disti?rb e the
compromise contained in the Constitution on this
point, (three fifths representative ]pineiple.)s>l am
not o®;the number. Neither am I 9nßof those citi
zens of the North to whom aifbther honorable mem
ber lately referred, in a publication to which his
name was subscribed, who would think ft immortal
andfrreligious tojoin in nutting down a servile in
surreidion at the South. 9 1 am no soldier, sir; mv
habits and education are unmilitary; but then is n&
cause in which I would sooner Bite kit a knapsack to my ;
backh and put a musket on my shoulder than that. 1
would<§jcede the whole continent to any one who
would take is—to England, to France, to Spain; fe
would see it sunk in the bottom of the ocean, before
l would see any part of this fine America converted
into Hayti, by that awful process of
bloodshed and desolation by which alone such a ca
tastrophe be broneh^on.
The great relation of nrvitud&in some form or other,
with grater or less departures from the theoretic equality
of man, is inseparable from our na/t'fg. 9 I know of no
other way by which she form of its servitude shall be fix
ed, but bf politiuil institution. Domestic
though l confess not that form of servitude which
stems to be the most beneficial to th% master —cer-
tainly, not that which is most beneficial t#the slave
—is not, in my judgment, to be set down as an immoral
andirrtligiou&relation. I cannot admit that
kof but one voice to thcslav%and that this voice is,
‘Rise against vour master;’%nd though I ftiow full
well that in the benignant operationgof Christianity
Khich gatlift’od master and slave®nroftnd the sa%ie

peared in Europe, yet 1 cannot admit while it sub

by religion, aim though l certainly am not called
upon to meet the charges brought against this insti
tution, yet truth obliges me to say u word more on
the subject, 1 know the condition of the working
classes in other countries ; 1 am intimatc-ly acquaint- 4
ed with it in soiffb other eorPhtrics; aigl 1 have no
