Ibis would not d., Slavery has at length deter
mined to teach northern funkies that it will have
no halfway business that ifthey want any help
from the South, they must just turn their backs
m the North, and to put ON the collar marked
g Slavery's dog" Then they will be rewarded
or not as it shall please their masters.
Now, under all these circumstances, the only
thing we have to say to either Taylorites, or pro
slavery Democrats or apologists, fyou like such
why, go ahead,
1t Mr.. PECK and these other Free Democrats
can satisfy themselves for their course, SO be 1t.
We are confident that no free soil man could
consistently condescend so low, as to support
directly or indirectly, for any office, such mis-
cradle dougnface as FoREET.
We close these remarks in the language Of
the Era
ave have spoken plainly, though we know
plain speech will wound not few for whom we
entertain the kindest feelings.
But crisis has come when we fee! constrain
ed to expose fully tothe people the conduct Of
their representatives. If the conduct of the
latter please them, let them say so; if not lei
them express their disapprobation. One thing
is certnin, the non. shareholders of the country
will be trodden unde. foot SO long as they sui
fer their representatives to submit to'the des
potism Of caucusses controlled absolutely by thu
Slave Power.
