mouths, like the incanlalions Of the Uonju-

which they can neither subdue nor control,
and their own party schemes will yet suffer
from this desperate effort 10 save them. a
new era In politics is dawning.
"DEAR FREEMAN 81 attended the Wing
meeting in kennett Square on the LIST inst,
to hear the famous Free Soil " man, Thad-
DEUS Stevens, speak. After the opening Of
the meeting Thaddeus rose and made one of
the best abolition speeches ! ever heard,
oaung the miserable d%auhing he gave it of
Taylorism.
Slavery said he is not only a curse to
the South, but a great national evil. If one
STAKEHOLDER has SO old, miserable, lazy, bro
ken-down, scabby slaves, he is represented
as 81 Of your Chester county farmers. Think
OF this, will you, for a moment2 this is one
OF the beauties of slavery. The South has
two greI articles Of trade, the first is cotton,
which cannot be raised anywhere else, and
the other is negro children, many of whom
are the children Of Shareholders. Henry A.
Wise denounced the slave trade when in
South America, because he saw that if 1t
was allowed to be carried on, the Yankees
would soon oyerstock the markets with them,
and make the business Of raising them at
home Improbable. Slavery d~eprives man of
inaIienable rights, and brings him down up
on a level with the beasts. They needn't
tell mt that Shareholders are humane and
charitable, that the slaves are well fed and
clothed, and enjoy more Of the comforts Of
life than freemen. You might as we'll talk
Of the comforts of the darkest corner Of per-
dition as the comforts of slavery there are
none. Not more than a month ago, an iron
master in Maryland, finding business dull,
and having more hands than he wanted, sold
40 Of his slaves without their knowledge
He sent them with a boat to some place with
certain directions; but when the poor souls,
who had toiled and worked for him so long,
and hoped they were to remain together, ar
rived at the place, a trader stepped up and
slid they were his property, and he was 60
i.x to take them South. Stung to the heart,
TAG almost sank into the earth at first, bnl
upon a moments reflection, liberty swelled
in their bosoms, but TO gain it was impossi'
BILE. One stout, strong, noble fellow made
his escape, and was pursued and soon over
taken. Finding all hopes of escape were in
vain, the dreadful alternative Of death or GO
ing South was presented to him he chose
the former, and plunged into the Potomac,
the waves closed over him, and his sorrows
were no more. Thus his comforts Of slave
ry were ended. (This was related in a most
beautiful and touching manner, SO much so
that tears were ready to flow, not only from
the speakers eyes, but from the eyes Of
many of the spectators. Had he continued
in this strain Of eloquence for a few minutes,
it would have been a singular Wing meet
ing.) This aversion TO slavery is not the
theory of a day or a year with me, i, came
into the world with me, and all the waters oil
the Nile could not wash it out. Slavery is
a Locofoco institution.
We are told that the South cannot get
along without slaves; as freeInen cannot
work there. Does slavery make a more
able to work? No. That is not The reason.
