THE STATE OF GENERAL PIERCE

From the time Of the election in New Hamr.
shire last March, to the meeting of tho Legi.
ture in June, the New Hampshire Patriot and
tho Washington Union never wearied with
asserting that the Administration had secured
a majority in both branches. It is q queer
Administration majority which has elected an
anti-Administration State printer over the
head of the Patriot editor, repudiated Hibbar5
for his support of the Presidents iniouitv ~

To The Editor Of the National Era:
For some weeks past, have been travelling

this State, one Of the strongest of Democratic
counties in former years and as my business
has led me almost entirely among country peo.

servilisy of the North, or portion of it, and

since it now includes all but shareholders and

The talk about avoiding agitation TO preserve
the Union, will not be regarded in future BY
any sensible person, Us the opinion is becoming
very general among the people here, that ths
Union is vaStly more important 10 the SOvth
than the South is 10 the Union and, if she
doubts it, they are perfectly willing she should
step out and try tho experiment; and much
prefer that she should go now, than to wait
till We arc saddled with an additional debt Of
some hundreds Of millions of dollars for tho
purchase or conquest of Cuba and largo per-
ton of Mexico, for the special benefit of slave
breeders, which is what they evidently intend.

bility is, there was special want in some To-
cality to be met by their publ cation.
If we were to write for nc Sspaper, and our
articles were not forthcomin we should say
that they had been overlookes or their chirog-
raphy was illegible, or they we're too long, or
they were not exactly pertin at, or there was
glut in the marked or they had miscarried,
or been mislaid, or that the editor was unfor-
tunately too auch pressed wi b business to ex-
amino them carefully or that he had not quite
SO much good sense as we had given him credit
for. AS for supposing that our communications
had not merit enough, we should not permit such
an idea to trouble us for raoment We ad-
wise our correspondents, whenever their favors

these hypothesis.

UPPER ALTON, Ill, June 80, 1854


To the Editor Of the National Era:
Many of us out here believe in the doctrine
Of the Sovereignty cf the people," that they
are capable Of self government and that
their sovereignty will be maintained and that
the Era will be sustained. but it is hard to
convince some of us that few shareholders,
squatting themselves down in the Territories
belonging to tho whole people of the States,
are themselves, alone, sovereigns of tho sol,
till they acquire titles thereto by quit.eIcin
conveyances from other owners in common.
That IS our idea. And as Mr.. Senator Doug
lass bill does not allow squatter sovereigns to
govern themselves, but provides for the ap-
pointment of their Governors and other officers
by the "people's" President SO, some of us 90
not believe it to be just right to allow them
the said squatter soUereigas to exercise domn-
ION over others, though darkies, in Territories
belonging to the tohoie people of the United
States.

"He says, 'we 90 for the enslavement of
the poor white man, as well as black He
well knows we do no such thing"
That is the denial of the charge: now for
the confirmation of ii. We quote from tho
same article:
Nature is the mother and tho protector of
Slavery - Nature, that has endowed men
with different capacities and talents-made
some weak, some strong, some thrifty, some un-
thrifty, some able to give, some requiring, pro-
tection-caused some to be born to mastery,
some to Slavery. Nature docs the whole
workman is but her passive agent. We do
not 60 for enslaving poor white men. Nature
has done that job already, for too many of
them, intends in its henevolence to do it for
many more, and needs no help from Slavery
Propagandists,' if there be any of that denomi.
nation besides herself and tho Northern Abo.
itionists"
Nature is God, working throughout creation
by fixed laws If God is the author of Slavery,
and "intends," in his "bsnevolence," to reduce
poor white men TO that condition, the editor Of
the Examiner, in constantly intoxicating this
doctrine, goes for "the enslavement of poor
white men," unless, indeed, he is prepared to
array himself against God.
But, it shall not have even tho chance Of a
bubble. In o labored editorial on "Free So
ciety," waxing warm as it proceeds, forgetting
it's denial Of our accusation, putting under foot
the Declaration Of Independence, and tho won
derful conclusions of its photographic research
es, year ago, it thus proclaims its belief in
Slavery, without respect to race or color:
We dare and do indicate Slavery in the
abstract. This is the only tenable ground for
it's defenders. We lose the authority of the
Bible, Of ancient history, of tho universal prac-
tice Of mankind, (which is but the stern and
fixed ordination Of Providence,) if we confine
the yindication to negro slavery. We thereby
admit that the Bible is false and wicked, and
that the practices of mankind in all ages
from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, from Pharaoh,
