II is a fact strange and monstrous as it may seem

of the slave power over the free States. And 1t is

Washington in the service of the Administration as
the true method of silencng the advocates of Free

hateful beams upon the path which Slavery has Just

BY the northern Democracy Some Of our souinerh

great change the policy OF country can be enec'eu
without agitation and blOOdshed and OF course 'hey
will look upon the picture We have drawn Win per
feet complscency as the natural and inevitable COM
pIemcnt of the Nebraska bill.
We do not know how the friends OF freedom in
Washington feel Mt this uncture or with what senti-
meuts they view these semi-oificiai menaces we
presume. however, they observe them steadily ana
clearly. with an undmmed vision and an unshsken
shirt. They are but natural exhibitions OF the rage
of the foes of liberty and we presume those gentle
men feel that they must be victims in the strife OF
freedom they could not fall at time when so un-
toward fate would accomplish more for the cause oil
human ri,bts than now. But let no one make the
mistake Of supposing that what now witnessing
il IN he exceptional under the rule of Slavery. Let
that mower once gain the oOthold in the free States
il NOW boldly seeks, and the law Of force will
be as authoritatiyey asserted northern whites as
il now is over southern blacks. The only condition
of safety, and the only hope of peace for the free
States, is in the total expulsion of the dominion Of
Slavery and of the law of Slavery from the free States
We are already tainted with being potroons, of
whom scores can be driven by one Virginia " slave
driver with lady's riding whp;" with being but
.efeninate Greeks, fit only to hold the position OF
.pimps and peddlers" to southern slave-holding
aristocracy. These are not empty and meaningless
Trades of blind abuse. We know the southern men
well. And while we know that many of them hold
sound and intelligent and statesmanlike views OF the
northern States and their people we yet know that
those men are no longer the controlling power or the
informing spirit Of the South. Ii the demagOgues
and doughiaces of the North have apparent posses
sion of the powerful political organization called the
sDemOcra party in the free States, and under 1t
aim to run disTaceful of perfdy toward Free
DOM and seryity to Slavery, so has the South
fallen into the hands of the Phistines among
her own sons. The spirit tina. now
SWANS the South and animates her councils, is the
spirit of insolent arrogance and aggressive dOmina
ton The men who now lead 10 her affairs those
who boast that they will yet call the roll of their slaves
on Bunker Hill, and who believe that the northern
Democratic masses composed of an aggregation Of
blind and stolid puslanimy that can be befooled and
controlled by the aid Of sestyed Democratic leaders
in the North and used as the tools OF any namy They
believe in northern poltroonery and northern truck
ling They believe that revolvers and bayonets, in
tie hands Of the mercenaries of the Federal Govern
ment can be etfectually used to reduce what north
ern spirit there il left into abject submission TO the
slave power as reigns upon the plantation of any
Lecree of them all. We are constantly and insult
pgy told by them that the real freemen of the North
are but handful that the force opposed to Slavery is
but handful that the spirit OF freedom is weak and
debauched, be easily quenched, and easily extin-
guished.
Among the men who thus think, and whose acts
correspond with their thoughts, we of course
onerate those southern members of Congress who
voted against the Nebraska BILL and very many be-
side. If the honorable exceptions to which we al
luded could bear sway if men, of their humane and
liberal sentiments could control Slavery, We should
have far less to say respecting the aggresson and the
designs of the slave power. But they cannot. They
are overborne and swamped, and their cOunseIs I'M
needed by the clustering brutality of the natural sup
