SLAVERY IN DELAWARE.
The Dover (Del) Reporter is alarmed at the
progress Of aFree-Soilsm and "Abolition-
ism y in that State 1t seems that Wing as
well rs Temperance paper at Wilmington
are the advocates Of emancipation, and that
the principles of Freedom are spreading. It
will be remembered that in 1849 an act for
emancipation passed one branch Of the Legis-
laturc, and was only defeated by one vote in
the other. The Reporter recommends, as
remedy for the threatened evil of emancipation,
the form alton Of new State by the annexa-
ton Of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Upon
this proposition the Wilmington Republican
comments as follows
sWe are astonished that the editor of the
Reporter wishes to prevent result which the
free labor and industry and thrift that are now
prevailing in our State will inevitably bring
about, if they are not checked by Legislative
epactments. They have nearly driven Slavery
out Of this county, they are driving it out OF
Kent, and will eventually drive it out of Sus-
SEX Some men may deplore such result, but
they cannot help it, They must submit to
fate which Providence is working out The
free niggerism will be no worse than it is
now, and perhaps not half so bad, as the de-
mand for labor will be greater; and, in case of
the enactment Of prohibitory law, there will
not be the same influence to corrupt and de-
moralize them. Neither need the editor give
himself any trouble about the slaves in Vir-
gnia and Maryland. The northwestern por-
ton Of the former State, and the northern por.
ton Of the latter will soon be given up 70 free
Al r. L. 49,
cannot prevent the fulflment Of the decree
which has gone forth in regard TO them. Years
NAV first elapse but the hardy SONS of New
England and the middle States will eventually
fill up the country and occupy the land, when
the peculiar institution viii be thrown aside
rs Improbable and useless This will be the
result in all gran-growing districts. Indeed,
Slavery in our State only exists in the most
mild form, and it is really not worth quarrel
ing about. There are few hard taskmasters,
and few find that their blacks make more than
they consume. We know of no one who is ac-
cumuatipg any great fortune solely by slave
labor, while there are hundreds doing so by the
employment Of freemen."
It is the misfortune Of Delaware that her
public men-those whom she sends to the ma
tional councils-are more ambitious Of sigHali-
zing their devotion to the institution of Slavery
by catching rinaways, than their attachment
TO Freedom by promoting emancipation. II is
discreditable to Delaware, that theowners Of
two thousand slaves are permitted to control
ninety thousand freemen, fetter their con-
sciences, degrade their nationality, and impede
the general prosperity by continuing system
as barbarous as it is impolitic. Why do not
Anti-Slavery Wings and Democrats throw
aside the shackles Of party, and cooperate for
the only object which at present engages the
attention Of menl The old issues between
Wings and Democrats have passed away-they
cease to form topics OF discussion in public or
in private; and the parties formed upon them
are mere empty shclls, Ike the cast off
slough Of the locust None but dead mem
politically, continue 10 haunt such miserable
tenements, the former abodes Of life and activ-
ity, but which now lie deserted while all who
have the vitality to survive another campaign
are arraying themtelyes under the glorious
banner Of Freedom, or the black piratcal flag
of Slavery Propagandism, encased in new
armor adapted to the warfare which they viii
be called on to wage. There can be no doubt
that hearty union among all the friends Of
freedom in Delaware would insure complete
victory, almost without struggle. G.

Sn.-The Doyleston Democrat says:
"James Pollock is an ABOLITION la,cper OF
Northumberland county, and is the guberna-
torial candidate of Greeley Seward, Tom Cor
win, and Fred Douglass; while VIM. Bigler,
the Cieatieid county vaftsmdn, is the candidate
Of the farmers, mechanics, and workingmep, Of
Pennsylvania. Lot every man, before he Gu
lists for the campaign, decide which Of these
crowds be would be seen fighting in ~
II appears that the selEstyled Democratic
party Of Pennsylvania friends Of the Ne
braska peffdy-are determined to make an
issue on that subject. Can they not be graft.
fed Let the sentiments Of the people Of
Pennsylvania be fully and fairly revealed. Mr.
Pollock may not be an Abolitionist nor Mr.
Bieler raftsman; but, whatever they are, let
us have fair and square issnc.
