We are quite willing the advocates Of Slavery
should be heard through our columns and, while
we should much prefer their discussing the points
actually in dispute we shall not insist on that IN
cases where their views are s. kindly aud courte-
ou.ly presented as by A LouiUanian. Let us
proceed. however, TO point out his errors
l. He won see the point OF our objection to the
Georgia Democrscys Resolutions. The resolver'
are not content with affirming the rightfGlness
of Slavery in Georgia or wherever It may now
exist-they vehemently advocate the Extension Of
s avery in America over Territory ssyet Free as
laree as France. Germany and Italy, while at the
same moment they claim those who are struggling
against lar mider and less odious forms OF oppres
sion as " orr Democratic brethren iH Europe -
While baying and selling women and children for
their own profit and living on the proceeds of IN
recompensed Toll. they proclaim themselves The
party ofcquai nights 10 all, and the champions OF
"bindng me Rich and Poor together By The trater-
nal ne Of Political Egaaiuy." Now Slavery may
be santship il you Will. but these professions and
self.righteous claims are glazing hypocrisies' and
can I be anything else. a man may honestly de-
sire the Extension and Preparation OF human
Slavery, dAming II the best possible condition io'
the class OF rude manual laborers but II he IS hon
estlv this he cannot at the same time be earnestly
in favor Of binding the rich and poor together 10y
the iraternsl tie Of Political Equality nor / as he

master grievance is the consumption Of the pro-
ceeds OF their toll by those no produce Mite OF

without labor We did not arraign the Georgisn'
for being Shareholders, but for the gross lnconsis
teucy Of laboring for the Extension Of Slavery II
America at the same time that they protested Al
ardent sympathy Tor those struggling to aboll'i
some OF It's remaining vestiges IN Europe.
\ Louisianiau thinks the Slavery question ha
never been properly argued between the Nort
and the South. That Is quite likely. We ono
