"FoR SALE--Two fine Mulatto girls
nearly whi,e-aged respectively seventeen
and eighteen years. Persons emigraling
to Kansas will find this good opportunity
TO secure couple Of good servants. The
price is eight hundred dollars piece"
What do the people of Sancusky county
think Of such advertisements as the above,
in this democratic country. where we are
constantly boosting Of our liberties? Does
it not sound strange in the cars Of christian
people? Yet such we can see daily in al
most any Southern Slavholding paper =
Men and women offered at auction, and at
private sale, as we offer our cattle and hors-
es, with all their good points set forth with
as much formality as any vender Of notions
sets forth the good qualities of his wares. 4
And this institution, anti-dcmocratic as IT
lis, we are now called on to extend over
territory that has always been free. What
man, protesting to be human, can possibly
vote to extend this accursed system over
free territory? Who will not feel himself
disgraced, in the eyes of the civilized world,
by such an act? While the old tyranni-
ca governments Of Europe, are everywhere
abolishing slavery, the government Of the
United States is making the most strenu-
Gus efforts, 10 plant it everywhere, where
there is foot of territory, not yet covered
by this most infamous of all institutions.
| Let every voter of Sandusky county re-
member that where this institu ion exists
they cannot move with their families
Where slavery exists, the working man or
working woman, is not respected and new
er can be- He and his family is less tho
of than a negro, because it is looked upon
by the aristocratic shareholders as disgrace
ful to work Mechanics are considered be-
low negroes FOR the same reason. Slavery
and freedom are incompatible, and they can
never exist in the same State at the same
time The oligarchs, who drive their slaves
Ito the fields in the morning, and to their
novels at night, will net associate with any
thing that savols of freedom. Everything
that will not go in for the extension of the
system, is denounced and doomed.
But light is breaking. Everywhere mer
are beginning to think and reflect; and OLD
party ties are snapped assunder like ropes
of sand. Whiggery and democracy, where
they favor slavery, are no longer regarded
and the candidate who favors the aristo
Gratis, or Nebraskaites, (Which is the same
Ith;ng,) has been, so far. defeated in ever,
instance. Men will no longer tolerate tn,
: foul institution, that trades in human bod
les and human souls The man who favor
the introduction Of slavery into free terrific
ry, TO disgrace it by selling little children
and women, and separating husbands ant
wives. and sending women to the penten
tiary for teaching little negroes to read
j., will have day of reck ming thai will iorev

How is it with us in this district? Their
are two candidates for our votes, Watso
and Plants The first is utterly opposed t
a making Kansas or Nebraska slave territory

i. ton another inch, and will resist it and or
g pose it, to the utmost of his capacity. ii
is true man of the north, and just such a
:, one as should represent US.
r How is Plants, his opponent? He is i
. favor Of admitting slavery into Kansas an
II Nebraska, with all its untold curses an
|. evils. II publicly pledged himself in ia
vor of the repeal of the Missouri Comprt
mise, and this opens the territory to MAJ
ket for the siaYe breeders and slave trader
This excludes fr1m this immense territor
the freemen Of the free States; and th
hardy emigranl from Europe, who seek
our shores for a home from the oppression
. If his native country. He is mistaken
: Plants and men Of his stamp have robbie
n him, and planted n system into this terrific
ry, compared with which his European OF
! pressions are tender mercies. He mu
:. stay out Of ii, because he cannot labor b,
side the African slave, and he will not,
he could, because it disgraces him. wi
the people of Sandusky county, who NAL
:, their living by labor even think of votin
rs for such man? Examine your ticket
