SLAVERY AND DEMocRACy-The Richmond
(Va) Wing utters the following truths:
properly and strictly speaking, there is no such
thing the whole southern country, as demo-
that surround him. There is a total and irrecon-
ciIable hostility between a slave holder and
democrat. The fundamental principle Of the lat.
ter is, that all men equal The former can
DOT hold such principle, without giving the lie
to it by daily practice. If he hold such a senti-
meni he has to suppress IT. and in subservience TO
his interest, enact the constant hypocrite.-The
northern democrat, on the contrary, acts up to his
interests, when he acts out his Of uni
versal equality. Disguise IL they may, this
radical difference pervades those no call them
selves democrats a, the North and South; and
when the southern Van Buren, men, or locos be-
come in reality democrats, they cannot and will
not, any longer tolerate slavery. For THE SYS

giving aid and countenance to what is called the
democracy at the North are in effect doing all in
their power 10 subvert the social institutions Of
the South A northern democrat, unless he be
as great a hypocrite southern slaveholdinp
