THE PATHos OF BADGER.

Mr. Senator BADGER wants to be philanthroplst
and benefactor of the Poor, if the fintyhearted
Workers will only let him. Hear him
81 think Mr. President is in the highest degree prop
able that with regard these Territories OF ala
Kansas there viii never be any slaves IN tnem %
no more idea of seeing slave population in either Oh hein
than have in seeing IL in Massachusetts NOT WIN IL
possible some gentleman may go there ana take rev
domestic servants with them and would say ,naI II
those domestic servants were faithful ana goo1 ones anu
the masters did not take them with them, the masters
would deserve the reprobaton Of all good men. Nh@
would YOU have them DO Would you have me take tue
servants who wait upon and live with me- and TO wnon
have as strong attachments as 10 any human beings on
this earth out of nv immediate relatives and con
pectons and because want TO move to Kansas put them
in the slave market and sell them Sir wouii SUI
Ter nv RIGHT arm TO be cut off before would do IT, Why
therefore If some Southern gentleman wishes 10 take tue
nurse that takes charge of his little baby or the Old wo
man that nursed i'm in childhood and whom ne called
nanny until he returned from college, and perhaps al
terward too and whom he wishes to take with ann IN her
age when he is moving into Of these new Territories
for the betterment of the fortunes of his whole family
whv in the name Of God should anybody prevent 1t DO
YOU wish to force become hard hearted slave dealers
Do YOU wish TO aggravae the evils If there are eVs eX
sting in this relation DO you wish that we shan no
LONGER have mutual feuda feeling between our depend
ants and ourselves Do you want % make as mercenary
ard hard hearted Or VIII you allow us; having, as
,us we have some touch of humanity and some of the
hen, fetal aid love breathing spirit OF christianity ID let
these beings 90 forth they accustomed u 90 ana US
to rejoice when look out and see our slaves ney ana
full around US, when hear the song arising rom
,beir dwellings, at night them dressed in their neat
clothes and going to attend their churches on sunday ana
realizing as they look at that are the best friends
they have earth 2!
JIo is it that would interpose any obstacle TO Mr..
Badger or any other Southern gentleman taking his
nurse or the nurse of his little baby, or any OF his
servants with him. whenever he sees fit TO migrate 10
Nebraska We never desired any such restriction,
nor did the North ever propose any The South under
took to interpose such prohibition in the original
Constitution of Missouri but the North made her back
out of IT, But we never sought anything of the kind
Let Mr. Badger 60 to Nebraska when be pleases, he
nav take nanny with him, and every negro he
owns without word of remOnstrance But he and las
clan refuse to take with them these aiiectonite,
hearty and cheerful slaves, unless they can take
also Tie Stare lars which empower them to work these
poor heots without wages subsst them on the cOarses
fare FOG them at discretion and sell them at the auc
tion.bOck whenever they can make more out of them
in that way than in any other. We are willing they
should have all the privileges with regard 10 taking
servants into Nebraska that claim for Ourselves
we are willing that laws should be enacted there to
enforce against those servants all the contracts into
which they have freely entered But Mr.. Badger is
not satisfied with this If he cant have the privilege
of selling bis happy, cheerful aectioDate bondsmen
after removing to Nebraska he intimates that he will
sell them before he starts, and dismiss them from
his sight forever Is this the treatment they ought 70
expect from the best friends they have on earth -
