THE NECESSITY OF ORGANIZATION.

Hunkers to enforce compliance with the de-
! mands of the Slave Power. The election of
D Gen Pierce they consider popular verdict in
their favor, and they have begun, as if acting
on a preconcerted plan, to take timely meas
ures for the consolidation of their power
What may have been their former party rels-
tions matters nothing provided they have pre-
= served themselves from the faint of Free-Soil-
ism. Hunker Democrats and hunker Wings,
oblivious of old party differences, lovingly en-
brace and mingle their VOWS at the altar of
Slavery
At the obsequies in New York in honor of
Daniel Webster Hunker Democrats walked in
procession, with bold devices signalling the
seventh of March speech of the deceased orator
as that which specially commanded their SYM
patty and admiration
Hunker Wings in New York and elsewhere,
not only voted but electioneered for Gen. Pierce
! In Massachusetts, q similar combination,
awaiting itself of the Question in regard to the
Maine Liquor Law, succeeded in overthrowing
the coalition of Liberals 1t is true, the bastard
Democracy, that issued its private circulars
against the true Democracy and affiliated with
the Wings did not secure ascendency for itself,
bat it gave it to the Wings. The results of the
coalition were, Wing Legislature, consequent
ly Wing Governor, and, with one or two ex-
oeptons, Wing delegation in Congress
| What additional evidence is needed to show
| tha yurpooa of tha Lar sup
porters of General Pierce, to shake off and put
down the Democracy of Liberty and Progress
In Maine as we noticed briefly last week
prescription is to be attempted on a large scale
Legislative resolves of former days against Sla-
very are to be expunged and no man who at
any time sustained or cOuntenanced the Wilmot |
Proviso il to be supported for the United States |
Senate. The Liberal Democrats are to be dis
! anchised-conyerted into "hewers of wood |
and drawers Of water to their Hunker rulers.
The exclusion of Senator'S Hale, Chase and
Sumner, from the committees OF the Senate, on
the ground, as was alleged by MIR Bright,
that they did not belong to either of the health
full political organizations of the country was
dictated by the same intolerant spirit The
managers in that disgraceful movement were
clearly under the impression that they were
but anticipating the policy of the Adminstra-
ton of Gen. Pierce
We have now to add to the record of these
acts of servlity, movements lately SGT on foot |
in the Legislatures of Ohio, New York, and
Pennsylvania.
In Ohio, Mr. Cushing Hunker Wing |,
Senator from Gallia county, has introduced in
the Ohio Senate, bill ITO prevent the settle
ment of blacks and mulattoes in that State"
Soon after the organization of the State Gov
eminent, system of legislation looking to this
end was established in Ohio but an experience
of two score years demonstrated its utter inell-
cheney 1t was a disgrace to-the civilization of
the State, promoted not single interest of the
white population was q source of unmixed evil
to the oolored people, and totally failed to pre-
vent their immigration. In obedience to the i'm
proved public opinion of ls4s, and to the de-
mands of the Free Democracy this system of
laws was at last swept from the statute books
This Mr.. Cushing, infatuated with the notion
that the election Of Gen. Pierce is an evidence
of the revival of the Pro-Slavery spirit would
restore the Infamous black code, and doubtless
he relies for success in his undertaking upon
combination Of the Hunkers of both the old
parties
Following in his footsteps, in obedience to
the sordid spirit Of trade, and anxious to DEM
onstrate to the South the devotion Of the Pierce
Party to the interests of Slavery, Mr. Taylor,
of New York city, has given notice of bill for
the re-enactment of the law allowing slavehold-
ers limited time Of residence in the State with
their slaves More than ten years ago this law
was repealed. Since that time, the State has
been free from the contamlnat on of Slavery
Public Sentiment has been satisfied Tho South
has uttered no complaint Saratoga has lost
none Of its Southern vsiters, New York nothing
Of its Southern trade. But somebody in Vr.
ginia, instead of sending his slaves directly
South, attempted to ship them at New York,
In defiance Of the Laws and Constitution. He
was Of course deprived Of the slaves Sordd
merchants awaited themselves of the occasion to
advertise their loyalty to the South Sordid
politicians were glad of chance to make a
display of their Nationality The Slave Power
saw its advantage, and its organs clamored
against the State policy of New York as repug-
nant to the Federal Constitution and the comfy
of neighborng States Surely the Party of Ma
tionality which elected General Pierce on the
issue-No more Slavery Agitation-woud not
tolerate such policy a restoration of the old
law, allowing Shareholders to carry their slaves
with them, and to command their unpaid SER
vices In State whose citizens are obliged to pay
for services rendered would be its first duty SO
Mr. Taylor thinks, and hence the Pierce Party
in the Assembly of New York is called upon
to prove its loyalty to Slavery by responding
TO this demand The Hunkers will of course
unite in this honorable work The Albany
