SOFT WORDS FOR NORTHERN EARS.

As the elections in Michigan, Illinois, and New
York draw near the Democratic papers deem it pru-
dent to talk softly to Northern men on the subject
ofslavery. They catch up as precious morsel every
word uttered by prominent man against the insti-
tuition of slavery. If it comes from the South, SO
much the better for them The object of the Union
in quoting at the present time Mr.. JEFFERSON
antislavery sentiments is transparent. The Union,
referring to the example Of JEFFERSON as justify
ing all public men in the expression of strong hos
tility to slavery, says:
The Federasts then, as the Northern Wings now,
charged that the Democracy prosavery men there
by seeking then now to obtain favor by relying upon
local and sectional prejudices. Mr. Jefferson saw the
advantage sought to be gained by the Federasts in the
pending contest and he wrote the following striking words
to friend:
They 1.-THE Federalistsl are taking advantage of the
Uruoas feeling Of the people to effect division Of parties
by geographical line. They expect that this win in
sure them on local principles the majority they could
never obtain on principles of Federalism but they
still putting their shoulders to the wrong wheel They
are wasting jeremads the misery of slavery if
were advocates of it, Sincerity in their declarations
should direct their efforts to the true point of the diff
Guilty and unite their counses with in devisng
reasonable and practicable plan Of getting rid of it,
Mr. JEFFERSON would hardly be suspected or want or
hdety to the South and yet, when the Federasts
seeking to divide the Democratic party by claiming be
the exclusive opponents Of slavery he did not deem it
treason to Southern interests or to Adolf
tioniss to declare his sentiments on slavery although
those sentiments were opposed to the institution"
This quotation is used by the Union in response
to the attack OF the Richmond Enquiror upon Gen
CAss for his expressed views on slavery The

ciples Of popular sovereignty of which he is the
