Dec. Is, lS52.-The principles of Free Democ-
racy are gaining ground in the old North
State outsiders may not think so but we
know that the leaven is in our midst and at
work. The vote for Hale and Julian was
small. Cause why? The ticket was formed
but little more than two weeks before the
election. The printing of tickets was contract
ed TOR to DO done one week before the election :;
when called for, they were not dOne-the Slave

the hateful Baltimore platforms, to agitate.

They, as believe, are all new subscribers, and

PURGE they may emanate. Had time TO de- t

Just Mt this point, we find, French Count in

which he claims, but really making war
against the local Government routing its
troops and raising the flag of the French EN-
pre This act may be unauthorized it may |
be an experiment, to ascertain how far this
country is disposed to acquiesce in any such
foreign colonization we do not believe it will |
be disclaimed, should our Government appear
hesitating or timid.
Almest at the same time correspondence
is disclosed, showing that this Government has
been encouraging ntervention-armed inter-
vention--by France and England, in the affairs
of this continent, for the purpose of rebuking
and restricting the power of black empire
And as a sequel, report reaches our shores
that in accordance with a treaty of several
years standing, France, with view to make

of the presence of her fleets at Vera Cruz, for
the purpose of enforcing payment Of her claims
on country torn by faction and anarchy, and

Empire faunts its banner in our face, as if pre-

by the Press of Louis Napoleon, as the defender
and champion Of the Latin race.
See how Slavery complexities this matter. If
Hayti had been white Republic or Empire,
this Government would never have united with
European Powers to put it down, and have
sanctioned their menaces of force. 1t was the
peculiar antipathies and interests of the Slave
Power which has been working to obtain,
through the medium Of Dominican Republic,

the American Government, in gross violation
of the Monroe doctrine of on-Interyentien, to
encourage the joint Intervention of England
and France in the affairs of this hemisphere
and the result shows that, under the lead of
this miserable sectional power, it has played
directly into the hands Of France. Now, sup
