JONYS, 4 68 ferty at Jones's wa near the mouth of Rush creck. ober Oth, 1884.2 .4t* the Constitution was adopted by the Legislature at the . NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 29, 1856. In our last issue we not only attempted but proved incontestably from the history and statistics of our country that the charge of “southern aggression” so industriously made by the Black Republicans is one of the most egregious wrongs ever perpetratod amongst. any people, We have seen many men of northern birth who at home looked down with mingled feeelings of pity and scorn upon the deluded or wicked ene' mies of the Union and the Constitution, religion jand laws. Yet we have seen many of these men of honest purpose carried away by the insidious appeals which are daily made to their pride and prejudices, Bad men, who could neyer rise from obscurity except amid the wild disorders which they create, have found a propitious avenue to power, and have paved it with falsehoods as black as the walks of Pandimonium. To detect these black and damning falsehoods it is only necessary to examine “the records of our country and reflect. That labor is a duty which every man owes to his country, and in this hour, the act of omission which fosters ignorance is as culpable as the deed of Cataline, ' You stand not by guiltless when the torch of the incendiary is approaching the great temple of the Union, You shall not escape from condemnation if you open your ears willingly to those who bear false witness. Amonst others who are appealed to in support of the dogmas of this miscalled republicanism, tg name of Mr, Jefferson has been invoked and perversion and garbled extracts from his writings, resorted to for the purpose of imposing upon the popular credulity. How strikingly similar is the aspect of our country at this time to what it was when the following was written by the sage of Monticello, ' On the 13th day of April, 1820, he wrote to Wm, Short : The old schism of federal and republican threatened nothing, because i existed in. every State and united them together by the fraternal ism of party. But the coincidence of a marked principle, moral and political, with a geographical line, once conceived, . feared would never more be obliterated from the mind; that it would be recurring on every occasion, and renewing irritations, until it would kindle such mutual mortal hatred as to render separation preferable to eternal discord. Ihave been among the most sanguine in believing that our Union would be of long duration. I now doubt it much, and see that event at no great distance, and the direct consequence of this question; not by the line which has been so confidently counted off— the laws of nature control this—but by the Potomac, the Ohio and Missouri, or more probably the Mississippi upwards to our northern boundary. My only comfort and confidence is, that I shall not live to see this; and Ienvy not the present generation the glory of throwing away . the fruits of their father’s sacrifices of life and fortune, and of rendering desperate the experi. ment which was to decide ultimately whether {man is capable of self government. This treason against human hope will signalize their epoch in future history, as the counterpart of the model of their predecessors, THOS. JEFFERSON. Mr. Holmes, of Maine, member of Congress, addressed Jefferson a letter, which drew from him the following remarkable reply: Montice.Lo, April 22, 1820. I thank you, dear sir, for the copy you have been so kind as to send me of the letter to your constituents on the Missouri question. Itis a perfect justification to them, I had for a long time ceased to read newspa. pers, of pay any attention to public affairs, confident they were in good hands, and content to be a passenger in our bark to the shore from which I am not far distant, But this momentous . question, like a Jire bell in the night, awakened and filled me with terror. I considered it at once the knell of the Union.’ It is hushed, indeed for the moment, but this is a reprieve only, nota final sentence. <A geographical line, comeiding with a marked principle, moral and political, once conceived . and held up to the angry passions of men, will never ' be obliterated; and every new irritation will mark . it deeper and deeper. I can say, with conscious . truth, that there is no man on earth, who would . sacrifice more than I would to relieve us from ' this heavy reproach, in any practicable way.— . The cession of that kind of property (for it is so . miz-named) is a bagatelle which would not cause me a second thought, if, in that way, a . general emancipation and expatriation would . be effected, and gradually, and with due sacri' fices, I think it might be. But as it is, we have . the wolf by the ears, and can neither hold him . nor safely let him go. Justice is in one scale jand self-preservation in the other. Of one (thing Iam certain, that as the passage of the . slaves from one State to another would not . make a slave of a human being who would not . be so without it, so their diffusion over a greater . sarface would make them individually happier, ;and proportionally facilitate the accomplish/ment of their emancipation, by dividing the . burthen on a greater number of coadjutors, An abstinence, too, from this act of power, ' would remove the jealousy excited by the un. dertaking of Congress to regulate the condition lof tie different descriptions of men composing ;a State. This certainty is the exclusive right of the . State, which nothing in the Constitution has taken Srom them, and given to the General Covernment.— . Could Congress, fur example, say, that the non-freemen of Connecticut shall be freemen, or that they shall not emigrate to any other State ? regret that I am not to die in the belief that . the useless sacrifice of themselves by the gen. eration of 1776, to acquire self-government and . happiness to their country, is to be thrown away . by the unwise and unworthy passions of their . sons, and that my consolation is to be, that I i live not to weep over it. If they would but . dispassionately weigh the blessings they will . throw away, against an abstract principle more . likely to be effected by union than secession, they would pause. before they perpetrate this dreadful act of suicide on themselves, and of treason against the hopes of the world. To yourself, as the faithful advocate of the . Union, I tender the offer of my high esteem and . reapect. THOS. JEFFERSON. He wrote Dec, 20, 1820: Nothing has ever presented so threatening an aspect as what is called the Missouri question. The federalists, completely put down, and despairing of ever rising aguin under whig and tory names, devised a new one, of slaveholding and non-slaveholding States, which, while it had a semblance of beng moral, was at the same time geographical, and calculated to give them " by debauching their old opponents to a coalition with them. Moral, the question certainly is not, because the removal of slaves from one State to another, no more than their removal from one country. to another, would never make a slaye of one human being who would not be so without it, Indeed, if there be any morality in the question, it is on the other pee soem had spreading ryeey over a‘jeas ace,. appiness wou increa: the burden of th a future wea edae Yightened by bringing a greater number of eboulders unaeat WHOLE NO. 160. der it. However, it seems to throw’ difét irito the eyes of the people, and to fanaticise them; while to the knowing ones it gave a geographl cal and préponderating line tothe omac and the Ohio, throwing fourteen States to the North and East, and ten to the South and West. .W! Shoko tertioeks i bs acl wy pe at ty» . Pa 9 But with the geographical minority it is a question of existence; for if Congress once goes out of the Constitution to arr 7 i iti probably will declare. that the condition of all within the United States shall be that of freemen: in which case all the whites south of the and the Ohio must evacuate their States, and most fortunate those who can do it first. All things possible in natare it is)said repeat themselves, and did we not know that we were reading in the above extracts of the period of 1820, we should suppose we were reading the history of the present year. A slight swhstitution of names would make the illusion eomplete. Well, O mighty Webster might you say “the whig party will never be a national party more.’ Even your great patridtie voice could not keep it from falling down at the North before the Golden Calf of abolitionism, and new who shall we look to to follow the wise precepts you have left us, other than those faithful to you and the Union, the Northern Democracy.” The compromise measures Of 1850 were cainieds by the following vote of northern men in the House of Representatives. Northern Democrats, “yeas 28, nays 14—all others from the north, yeas 3, nays 62, Kansas, Nebr bill, and the right of the people to govern themselves was carried by the following northern yote. Democrats, yeas 45, nays 38—all others from the north, yeas 0, nays 54. Platform of the Democracy on the Slavery Question, The resolutions of the Cincinnati Convention, on this subject repeating the words of the resolutions of former Democratic Conventions, are as follows: 1. That Congress has no power under the Constitution, to interfere with or control the domestic institutions of the several States, and that such States are the sole and proper judges of everything appertaining to their own affairs, not prohibited by the Constitution; that all efforts of the abolitionists or others, .amade to induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps ir relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the moet alarming and dangerous consequences; and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendeney:to diminish the happiness of the people, and endanger the stability and permaneney of the Union, and ought not. to be countenanced by any friends of our political institutions. 2. That the foregoing proposition covers, and was intended 'to embrace, the whole subject of slavery agitation in Congress; and therefore, the Democratic party of the Union, standing, on this national. platform, will abide by and adhere to a faithful execution of the acts known as the’ Compromise Measures, settled by the Congress of 1850; “the acts for reclaiming the fugitives from service of labor,’’ included; which act being designed to carry out an express provision of the Constitution, cannot, with fidelity thereto, be repealed, or so changed as to destroy or impair its efficiency. 3, That the Democratic party will resist all attempts at renewing, in Congress, or out of it, the agitation of the slavery question, under ane aa shape or color the attempt niay be made, And here wre the additional resolutions adopted by the Cincinnati Convention, to cover the controversy as it now exists: And; that we may more distinctly meet the issue on which a sectional party, subsisting exclusively on slavery agitation now relies to test the fidelity of the people, North and South, te the Constitution and the Unien: 1. Resolved, That claiming fellowship. with, and desiring the co-operation of all who regard the preservation of the Union under the Constitution as the paramount issue—and repudiating all sectional parties and platforms eengerning domestic, slavery, which seck to embroil the States and incite to treason and armed resist« ance to law in the Territories; and whose avowed purposes, if consummated, must end in civil war and disunion-—the American Democraey recognize and adopt the principles contained in the organic laws cstablishing the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska as embodying the only sound and safe solution of the “slavery ques tion’? upon which its great national idea of the people of this whole country can repose in its determined conservatism of the Union—NoxINTERFERENCE BY CONGRESS WITH SLAVERY IN Stave axp Ternirrory, OR IN THE DistRier oF Cos LUMBIA. : 2. That this was the basis of the Comprothises of 1850—confirmed by both the Democratic and Whig parties in national conventions—ratified by the people in the election of 1852, and rightpi applied to the organization of Territorice in 854. 8. That by the uniform application of this Democratic principle to the organization of Territories, and to the admission of new States, with or without domestic slavery, as they may. elect—the equal rights of all the States will be preserved intact—the original compacts of the Constitution maintained inviolate—and the perpetuity and expansion of this Union insured to the utmost capacity of embracing, in peace and harmony, every future American State that may be constitaved or annexed, with a republican form of government. Resolved, That we recognize the right of the people of all the Territories, including Kansas and Nebraska, acting through "the legally and fairly expressed will of a majority of actual residents, and whenever the number of their inhabitants justifies it, to form a Constitution, with or without domestic slavery, and be admitted into the Union upon terms of perfect equality with the other States. Who. but a Black Republican conld: sec in these fair and just principles that pro-slavery spirit which is charged upon us? An Uncommon Occurrence.—The Albany Knickerbocker says : “A very singular affair occurred in the court of general sessions at the last term. A woman was brought up and arraigned before her own brother, who was on the bench, on the char of keeping a house of prostitution. The brother sat motionless and pale as marble, but stern and inflexible as the Roman father who passed the sentence of death on his own son. The woman, although old in crime and lost to shame, was so 6vercome by the scene that on reaching her seat she wept burning tears. It). was @ scene that is rarely witnessed, and we hope neyer to see the like again.” Rior aT Battimore.—aA terrible riot oceurrred on the 12th ult between a Fillmore Club and a party of Buchanan men, at the Democratic head quarters. Four men were shot dead, twen fatally wounded, and some fifty or sixty others wotinded and badly injured. Guns, pistols, clubs and stones were freely uscd. , .

JONYS, 4 68 ferty at Jones's wa near the mouth of Rush creck. ober Oth, 1884.2 .4t* the Constitution was adopted by the Legislature at the . NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 29, 1856. In our last issue we not only attempted but proved incontestably from the history and statistics of our country that the charge of “southern aggression” so industriously made by the Black Republicans is one of the most egregious wrongs ever perpetratod amongst. any people, We have seen many men of northern birth who at home looked down with mingled feeelings of pity and scorn upon the deluded or wicked ene' mies of the Union and the Constitution, religion jand laws. Yet we have seen many of these men of honest purpose carried away by the insidious appeals which are daily made to their pride and prejudices, Bad men, who could neyer rise from obscurity except amid the wild disorders which they create, have found a propitious avenue to power, and have paved it with falsehoods as black as the walks of Pandimonium. To detect these black and damning falsehoods it is only necessary to examine “the records of our country and reflect. That labor is a duty which every man owes to his country, and in this hour, the act of omission which fosters ignorance is as culpable as the deed of Cataline, ' You stand not by guiltless when the torch of the incendiary is approaching the great temple of the Union, You shall not escape from condemnation if you open your ears willingly to those who bear false witness. Amonst others who are appealed to in support of the dogmas of this miscalled republicanism, tg name of Mr, Jefferson has been invoked and perversion and garbled extracts from his writings, resorted to for the purpose of imposing upon the popular credulity. How strikingly similar is the aspect of our country at this time to what it was when the following was written by the sage of Monticello, ' On the 13th day of April, 1820, he wrote to Wm, Short : The old schism of federal and republican threatened nothing, because i existed in. every State and united them together by the fraternal ism of party. But the coincidence of a marked principle, moral and political, with a geographical line, once conceived, . feared would never more be obliterated from the mind; that it would be recurring on every occasion, and renewing irritations, until it would kindle such mutual mortal hatred as to render separation preferable to eternal discord. Ihave been among the most sanguine in believing that our Union would be of long duration. I now doubt it much, and see that event at no great distance, and the direct consequence of this question; not by the line which has been so confidently counted off— the laws of nature control this—but by the Potomac, the Ohio and Missouri, or more probably the Mississippi upwards to our northern boundary. My only comfort and confidence is, that I shall not live to see this; and Ienvy not the present generation the glory of throwing away . the fruits of their father’s sacrifices of life and fortune, and of rendering desperate the experi. ment which was to decide ultimately whether {man is capable of self government. This treason against human hope will signalize their epoch in future history, as the counterpart of the model of their predecessors, THOS. JEFFERSON. Mr. Holmes, of Maine, member of Congress, addressed Jefferson a letter, which drew from him the following remarkable reply: Montice.Lo, April 22, 1820. I thank you, dear sir, for the copy you have been so kind as to send me of the letter to your constituents on the Missouri question. Itis a perfect justification to them, I had for a long time ceased to read newspa. pers, of pay any attention to public affairs, confident they were in good hands, and content to be a passenger in our bark to the shore from which I am not far distant, But this momentous . question, like a Jire bell in the night, awakened and filled me with terror. I considered it at once the knell of the Union.’ It is hushed, indeed for the moment, but this is a reprieve only, nota final sentence. <A geographical line, comeiding with a marked principle, moral and political, once conceived . and held up to the angry passions of men, will never ' be obliterated; and every new irritation will mark . it deeper and deeper. I can say, with conscious . truth, that there is no man on earth, who would . sacrifice more than I would to relieve us from ' this heavy reproach, in any practicable way.— . The cession of that kind of property (for it is so . miz-named) is a bagatelle which would not cause me a second thought, if, in that way, a . general emancipation and expatriation would . be effected, and gradually, and with due sacri' fices, I think it might be. But as it is, we have . the wolf by the ears, and can neither hold him . nor safely let him go. Justice is in one scale jand self-preservation in the other. Of one (thing Iam certain, that as the passage of the . slaves from one State to another would not . make a slave of a human being who would not . be so without it, so their diffusion over a greater . sarface would make them individually happier, ;and proportionally facilitate the accomplish/ment of their emancipation, by dividing the . burthen on a greater number of coadjutors, An abstinence, too, from this act of power, ' would remove the jealousy excited by the un. dertaking of Congress to regulate the condition lof tie different descriptions of men composing ;a State. This certainty is the exclusive right of the . State, which nothing in the Constitution has taken Srom them, and given to the General Covernment.— . Could Congress, fur example, say, that the non-freemen of Connecticut shall be freemen, or that they shall not emigrate to any other State ? regret that I am not to die in the belief that . the useless sacrifice of themselves by the gen. eration of 1776, to acquire self-government and . happiness to their country, is to be thrown away . by the unwise and unworthy passions of their . sons, and that my consolation is to be, that I i live not to weep over it. If they would but . dispassionately weigh the blessings they will . throw away, against an abstract principle more . likely to be effected by union than secession, they would pause. before they perpetrate this dreadful act of suicide on themselves, and of treason against the hopes of the world. To yourself, as the faithful advocate of the . Union, I tender the offer of my high esteem and . reapect. THOS. JEFFERSON. He wrote Dec, 20, 1820: Nothing has ever presented so threatening an aspect as what is called the Missouri question. The federalists, completely put down, and despairing of ever rising aguin under whig and tory names, devised a new one, of slaveholding and non-slaveholding States, which, while it had a semblance of beng moral, was at the same time geographical, and calculated to give them " by debauching their old opponents to a coalition with them. Moral, the question certainly is not, because the removal of slaves from one State to another, no more than their removal from one country. to another, would never make a slaye of one human being who would not be so without it, Indeed, if there be any morality in the question, it is on the other pee soem had spreading ryeey over a‘jeas ace,. appiness wou increa: the burden of th a future wea edae Yightened by bringing a greater number of eboulders unaeat WHOLE NO. 160. der it. However, it seems to throw’ difét irito the eyes of the people, and to fanaticise them; while to the knowing ones it gave a geographl cal and préponderating line tothe omac and the Ohio, throwing fourteen States to the North and East, and ten to the South and West. .W! Shoko tertioeks i bs acl wy pe at ty» . Pa 9 But with the geographical minority it is a question of existence; for if Congress once goes out of the Constitution to arr 7 i iti probably will declare. that the condition of all within the United States shall be that of freemen: in which case all the whites south of the and the Ohio must evacuate their States, and most fortunate those who can do it first. All things possible in natare it is)said repeat themselves, and did we not know that we were reading in the above extracts of the period of 1820, we should suppose we were reading the history of the present year. A slight swhstitution of names would make the illusion eomplete. Well, O mighty Webster might you say “the whig party will never be a national party more.’ Even your great patridtie voice could not keep it from falling down at the North before the Golden Calf of abolitionism, and new who shall we look to to follow the wise precepts you have left us, other than those faithful to you and the Union, the Northern Democracy..” The compromise measures Of 1850 were cainieds by the following vote of northern men in the House of Representatives. Northern Democrats, “yeas 28, nays 14—all others from the north, yeas 3, nays 62, Kansas, Nebr bill, and the right of the people to govern themselves was carried by the following northern yote. Democrats, yeas 45, nays 38—all others from the north, yeas 0, nays 54. Platform of the Democracy on the Slavery Question, The resolutions of the Cincinnati Convention, on this subject repeating the words of the resolutions of former Democratic Conventions, are as follows: 1. That Congress has no power under the Constitution, to interfere with or control the domestic institutions of the several States, and that such States are the sole and proper judges of everything appertaining to their own affairs, not prohibited by the Constitution; that all efforts of the abolitionists or others, .amade to induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps ir relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the moet alarming and dangerous consequences; and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendeney:to diminish the happiness of the people, and endanger the stability and permaneney of the Union, and ought not. to be countenanced by any friends of our political institutions. 2. That the foregoing proposition covers, and was intended 'to embrace, the whole subject of slavery agitation in Congress; and therefore, the Democratic party of the Union, standing, on this national. platform, will abide by and adhere to a faithful execution of the acts known as the’ Compromise Measures, settled by the Congress of 1850; “the acts for reclaiming the fugitives from service of labor,’’ included; which act being designed to carry out an express provision of the Constitution, cannot, with fidelity thereto, be repealed, or so changed as to destroy or impair its efficiency. 3, That the Democratic party will resist all attempts at renewing, in Congress, or out of it, the agitation of the slavery question, under ane aa shape or color the attempt niay be made, And here wre the additional resolutions adopted by the Cincinnati Convention, to cover the controversy as it now exists: And; that we may more distinctly meet the issue on which a sectional party, subsisting exclusively on slavery agitation now relies to test the fidelity of the people, North and South, te the Constitution and the Unien: 1. Resolved, That claiming fellowship. with, and desiring the co-operation of all who regard the preservation of the Union under the Constitution as the paramount issue—and repudiating all sectional parties and platforms eengerning domestic, slavery, which seck to embroil the States and incite to treason and armed resist« ance to law in the Territories; and whose avowed purposes, if consummated, must end in civil war and disunion-—the American Democraey recognize and adopt the principles contained in the organic laws cstablishing the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska as embodying the only sound and safe solution of the “slavery ques tion’? upon which its great national idea of the people of this whole country can repose in its determined conservatism of the Union—NoxINTERFERENCE BY CONGRESS WITH SLAVERY IN Stave axp Ternirrory, OR IN THE DistRier oF Cos LUMBIA. : 2. That this was the basis of the Comprothises of 1850—confirmed by both the Democratic and Whig parties in national conventions—ratified by the people in the election of 1852, and rightpi applied to the organization of Territorice in 854. 8. That by the uniform application of this Democratic principle to the organization of Territories, and to the admission of new States, with or without domestic slavery, as they may. elect—the equal rights of all the States will be preserved intact—the original compacts of the Constitution maintained inviolate—and the perpetuity and expansion of this Union insured to the utmost capacity of embracing, in peace and harmony, every future American State that may be constitaved or annexed, with a republican form of government. Resolved, That we recognize the right of the people of all the Territories, including Kansas and Nebraska, acting through "the legally and fairly expressed will of a majority of actual residents, and whenever the number of their inhabitants justifies it, to form a Constitution, with or without domestic slavery, and be admitted into the Union upon terms of perfect equality with the other States. Who. but a Black Republican conld: sec in these fair and just principles that pro-slavery spirit which is charged upon us? An Uncommon Occurrence.—The Albany Knickerbocker says : “A very singular affair occurred in the court of general sessions at the last term. A woman was brought up and arraigned before her own brother, who was on the bench, on the char of keeping a house of prostitution. The brother sat motionless and pale as marble, but stern and inflexible as the Roman father who passed the sentence of death on his own son. The woman, although old in crime and lost to shame, was so 6vercome by the scene that on reaching her seat she wept burning tears. It). was @ scene that is rarely witnessed, and we hope neyer to see the like again.” Rior aT Battimore.—aA terrible riot oceurrred on the 12th ult between a Fillmore Club and a party of Buchanan men, at the Democratic head quarters. Four men were shot dead, twen fatally wounded, and some fifty or sixty others wotinded and badly injured. Guns, pistols, clubs and stones were freely uscd. , .
