THE COMMONWEALTH Published by A HODGES A CO( RAJJBLORT RIDAY AUGUST 24 i860 for President JOHN BELL 07 TENNESSEE or Vice President EVERETT MASSACHUSETTS Under this head find a long article inTuesday's Yeoman commencing as follows: is fresh iu the recollection of all that in the canvass of 1859 the Democratic and Opposition parties of Kentucky occupied substantially the same position upon the question of slavery in the territories Both repudiated the squatter sovereignty doctrines ol Douglas and both favored Congressional protection to slavery in the territories should a necessity thereforever Xow it is titt only not fresh in our recol lection but we most emphatically deny that the Democratic party of Kentucky indorsed the doctrineof protection to slavery at the time indicated by the Yeoman Wecouldfill twen ty papers of twenty times the size of the Com monwealth with articles from Kentucky Demo cratic papers written to prove that the doc trine of protection to slavery in the Territo ries was in 1859 both undemocratic and highly injurious to the rights of the South Of course we cannot reproduce all the argu ments put forth by the Democratic press to show what true Democratic doctrine was at that time It will be conceded by its edi tor at least that the Yeoman was a good Democratic paper during that canvass and the State organ of the party in Kentucky We shall therefore in our reply to the edi tor of the Yeoman confine ourself to quota tions from his own columnsduringtheperiod relerrcd to If out of hie own mouth we do not convict him of the grossest inconsisten cy ever fastened upon a political editor we will acknowledge our ignorance of that word und surrender the point The March 19 1859 publishes an extract from the Cincinnati Enquirer of the following purport: "A Kentucky Democrat informs us that the Cynthiana Age when it asks that Con gress shall intervene to protect slavery in the Territories does not represent the sentiment of the parly in the State" Ac To which the Yeoman responds as follows: believe the above statement of a tucky to be the general senti ment of the party in this State upon the question of Congressional interference in be half of slavery in the Territories" Ac In reply to an article in the Louisville Journal the editor of the eornan of March 24 1859 used the following (The italics ate ours:) think it bad policy in the South the weaker party in this slavery contest to ask Congress to interfere in any way with the in stitution of slavery in the territories or to ad mit that it has the right to do so We deny that the institution depends for its existence in the National territories upon Congressional action and the converse of this proposition would yield everything to the north Slave ry should be and can be protected in the Ter ritories by the judicial and executive branch es of thegover nment and this is all the south can hope to obtain Once admit that the extension of slavery depends on the action of Congress or that Congress has a right to regulate it and we are landed back to where we commenced forty years ago and the Cerce battle against the damnable dogmas of the Missouri restriction and the Wilmot Proviso will have to be fought over Kansas Nebraska meas ures and the Dred Scott decision are of no avail" That is what we call a very fair specimen oi sovereingty" and precisely such as the editor of the Yeoman repudiates now In the earlypart of the canvass of 1859 the Louisville 7ownaf and rankfort Yeoman were engaged in discussing the doctrine of Congressional protection to slavery in the Territories The editor of the Yeoman in his paper of March 29 1859 takes occasion to further define his position and that of hie party on that question He says: "Our position is briefly this: Adhering to the Dred Scott decision we hold that slave ry exists in the Territories under the eder al Constitution and that the ederal Judici ary and Executive have power to protect slave property and it is manifestly their duty to do so We hold further that any act of a Terri torial Legislature prohibitory of or un friendly to the existence of slavery is mani festly unconstitutional and mav and should be declared void by the ederal Judiciary upon whom backed by the Executive and not upon Congress the duty devolvcsof setting aside or vetoing improper legislation in the Territories And lastly IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GREAT PRINCIPLE POPULAR SOVEREINGTY as contained in the Kansas Nebraska bill passed by Congress and ap proved time and again by the pceple we hold that Congress should not interfere with slavery in the States or Territories for or against it THIS IS THE POSITION ASSUMED IN THE CINCINNATI PLATORM" This precisely the doctrine now held by Judge Douglas and the doctrine which was indorsed by the Democratic party in Ken tucky up to the nomination of Mr' Breck inridge by the Disunion Convention The only difference now between the views of Mr Breckinridge and those of Mr Douglas is that the former contends that in the event of unfriendly legislation by a Territorial Legislature Congress should interfere to pro tect the rights of the slave holder while Mr Douglas contends that the matter should be referred to tile Supreme Court and not to Congress Be it right or wrong all must admit that Mr Douglas stands upon what was the Democratic platform as late as March 29 1859 But lef us follow' the editor of the Yeoman a little further In hie paper of April 9th 1859 the editor in speaking of the uetioii of the Democratic Convention of Tennessee says will be seen that the view taken by the Tennessee Democracy of the question of protection of slave property in the Territo ries is precisely similar to the position as sumed and contended for by us They look for protection of slavery and the rights of slaveholders to the ederal constitution and to the action of the ederal judiciary and do not ask the interference of Congress This is a legitimate construction of the Dred Scott decision and the best position for the South to assume LET THE DEMOCRACY KENTUCKY STAND BY IT OR UPON IT THE INTEGRITY THE DEMO CRATIC PARTY THE UNION CAN BEST BE PRESERVED" Again in the Yeoman of April 26 1859 in treating this question the editor saps we cannot see how Democrats who have toiled through long years of difficulty and strife against Northern free soilism in its various phases to secure Southern rights by the establishment of the Compromise measures of 1850 and the passage of the Kansas act containing the principle of non intervention can with any show of consis tency turn round nd ask that Congress shall interfere in behalf of slavery in the Territories that slavery agitation 'shall he re opened in Congress and that those in the North who have stood by us so nobly throughout the whole contest to secure us against the mischiefs of Congressional inter vention shall be toll! that we were not in earnest that the whole scheme of non in tervention was a swindle and cheat" We see either nor can we a hut has opened the eyes of the editur the 5 'toman since he penned the foregoing para graph Space compels us to content ourself with one more evidence that the Democratic par ty ot Kentucky was not for protection to slavery in the Territories in the canvass of 1859 ask attention to the following editorial which appeared iu the rankfort Yeoman of April 28th 1859: Com rer sioniil The sth of January Convention It is not generally known that the State Democratic Convention which met in this city on the 8th of January la had before it the question of Congressional intervention for the protection of slavery in the Territo ries and took action thereon Such however is the fact Hon 11 Rust the State Senator from Greenup and a delegate from that county offered in Convention a resolu tion as an amendment to the report of the committee on Resolutions which takes strong ground in favor of Congressional in tervention This resolution a copy of which is before us was laid upon the table by an almost unanimous vote and the action of the Convention although the resolution might have been presented out of the regu lar order of business must be regarded as significant of the sentiments of the Kentucky Democracy upon this question We mention this striking incident in the proceedings of the Convention for the benefit of such Kentucky editors as now seek to force the party into a position inconsistent with its platform by ad vocating Congressional intervention notwith standing the fact that they themselves were delegates to the Convention and participa ted and acquieced in its action when resolution was tabled They should have shown themselves in favor of intervention when the assembled Democracy of the State were in council und if they desired it to be engrailed upon the creed of the party should have then and there urged the adoption of Rust's or some other resolution embodying the like principle But they were either mum or voted with the majority to lay the whole subject upon the table! Whilst we are entirely willing to concede to every member of our party the right to his private opinion upon this question we at the same timedenytherightof any one to insist upon his peculiar view as an article of party faitlt In adopting the Cincinnati platform the Kentucky Democracy pledged their faith to the principle of non intervention by Congress upon the subject of slavery in State or Territory and in tabling resolution with per haps not more than three dissenting voices out of the hundreds present they gave still more unmistakable evidences of their hostil ity to thia new fangled dogma of tion" Did the Democratic party of Kentucky in the canvass of 1859 favor Congressional protection to slavery in the Territories? Let the reader decide 9 ijomix do you believe that the present Congress would interfere for the benefit of slavery in the Territories it had the power? YeuMas do you believe that the election of Lincoln would be a sufficient cause for the dissolution of this Union? YeoMax were you not opposed to the doc trine of Congressional protection to slavery in the Territories in the canvass of 1859? did not the Democratic party in State Convention in 1859 action" on the subject oi Congressional protection to slavery in the Territories and reject the doc trine? Yeomas why were you not for protection to slavery in the Territories by Congress when we had a Congress favorable to the in stitution ROMAS hold up your head look bold like a sheep and answer all these questions egorically" or otherwise As a jiattku on The Cincinnati Gazette of Wednesday publishes a large por tion of Mr speech at Memphis We are looking for our neighbor of the Yeo man 'to publish it' next Since he lost his consistency there is no telling what he will not do Give us speech neighbor The Gazette does not circulate much in this section and you ought to help it out a little to pay off old debts if nothing more iSWe continue in this number the speech of Mr Dixon Whilewe dissent from many of the positions taken by him we give publicity to his opinions because he ha no organ in this section and because we believe that the friends of judge Douglas should have a fair show JUiy Had Mr friends iu Kentucky possessed shrewdness commensur" ate with their ambition and self esteem they never would have suffered their favorite to have been so ruthlessly slaughtered in such an early stage of the contest But their greenness is as evident a their presumption is ridiculous The Central Committee im agined itself the entire Democratic party Upon the death of Mr Revill these sapient guardians of Kentucky Democracy called a Convention to nominate hie successor There was no occasion for such a step The usages of the Democratic party did not re quire it A gentleman whose qualifications were admitted by themselves who had been recommended by a large numberof counties who was the second choice of the largest Democratic Convention ever held in Ken tucky then held the office by appointment of the Appellate Court But the Central Committee did not like the incumbent and a convention was called not so much to nominate an Appellate Clerk as to defeat Col Bolling A convention was called and it assembled in this city on the 18th of July It was remarkable as an assemblage of Ken tucky fire eaters It was a red nosed red faced red haired and red eyed concern It was a regular salamander Its members looked as though they dieted on fire exclu sively and drank aqua fortis juleps Thev were restless anxious and fidgety They looked with distrust upon every one who did not sing penna to John Breckinridge Bell und Douglas were voted Abolitionists and the friends of either were pronounced no true friends of South" South" was the burden of their song Thev had as sembled to preserve South" and demol ish her enemies "The South" was in danger and this tire eating convention had come to its rescue It was prepared tor any and nil emergencies It stalked about town with flashing from its eyes Thunder gathering on its ready to kill the first drotted" sheep that should jump over the fence to bite South" Well the Convention assembled and in it zeal tor South" it forgot the interest of Mr Breckinridge With its "inexorable logic" it pitched into Douglas into Harney into Bob Richardson into Diek Bolling mid into things generally It defeated Bolling also Breckinridge It nominated MeClartv but it elected Combs After this first great achievement of Dem ocratic managers no one will be surprised that the Democratic Central Committee ex pect to carry Kentucky for Mr Breckin ridge in November Yanccyite papers are making great fuss over what they term base political lie" that Breckinridge was going to withdraw from the canvass We take any of that polite epithet to ourself We never gave currency to the rumor because we never believed it He had too much trouble to get the nomination ail obtained it by too great a sacrifice to withdraw now Besides such step on hie part is totally unnecessary The people will attend to that little matter for him The friends of Breckinridge in the South keep themselves unprofitably busy in defend ing their candidate from the assaults of their Bell Douglas opponents This puts them at fl disadvantage and prevents their making any effective inroads upon their enemy's forces Cincinnati Gazette It seems that the chief Black Republican organ in Ohio is dissatisfied with the tactics of its allies in the South The bolting organs in the South have ever been characterized by more zeal than discretion The Gazelet must have patience with them Lunch at the Capital Hotel Gittes Tittle Sort Our friend Jas Watson yesterday received by the Louisville train a monster green sea turtle forwarded from New Orleans by his old friend Sam Phil beck To day this delicious monster of the deep will make his first appearance before a rankfurt
