Cg5" 1t is not often that we find articles of po-
litical nature in the Democratic prints which we
feel disposed to copy, but the above, from the JEFF
fersonan, contains SO much truth, that we cannot
let the opportunity pass to lay it before read
ers. The editor addresses his ID Democratic friends,
not in honied words, but in plain English, demon
strating to them, or at least endeavoring to DEM
onstrate, that the whole tendency of the acquisi-
ton Of Cuba, the passage Of the Nebraska Bill,
and the consummation Of other iniquitous schemes,
is to extend, foster and perpetuate Slavery. This
is the end and aim of those who are "moving
heaven and earth'' to pick quarrel with Spain
on the ground of wrongs committed, and who,
rather than have their cherished schemes defeated,
would see the banner of freedom trailing in the
dust. There is truth in this, and the time has
come when the people should know it. 1t gives us
pleasure, therefore, to find the Jeffersonian laying
aside its strong partizan feelings and speaking out
boldly on matter where great principle is in
volved, disregardess of those who are continually
checking the wheels of Progress by the cries Of
sfanaticism, fanaticism % The agitation of the
slavery question is to be deprecated but we do in
isst that SO long southern men give their coun-
tenance to the acquisition of slave territory,
just so long the North and the West have the
right and it is their duty to oppose by all honora
BILE means such acquisition though it shake the
foundation of our Union from one end to the 9TH
er. If southern men and northern traitors aoiU
agitate this subject, upon them let the response
ity rest. The people are not responsible.
