its scheme for destroying slavery by limiting il within
its present bounds instead of being called plan for free
dom" be designated is in fact plan for killing ne
groes?
1t is obvious then, that the aizd populations of the
South emigrate the Territories, multiply and
extend themselves the continent pdr pasSa with the
homogeneous population of the North unless the social
and domestic relations that distinguish them pre-
served Or in other words it is fixed fact that the PEG
pie of the Territories will permit the presence of ee
negroism il would be absolutely necessary for the
slave States prohibit the emigration Of whites to pre-
the subordnaton of the inferior race for though
the negro nsinctvey obeys the white man. under such
Fictitious influences and surrounded with enemies
tain balance OF population could alone preserve the peace
and order of southern society and finally that time
would come when exhausted soils and redundant popua-

total extinction Of the negro
slave extension the emigration and expansion of the
m,xed population of the South, its extension into the
tona Territories its progress the continent pari
passu with the homogeneous population Of the North, is
therefore not only right and just and proper but alb
soute and overwhelming neccssya necessity involving
the progress the welfare the happiness of the white race
and not only the we-being but the actual existence
the very eof the negro All this is plain, unmis-
taxable, unavoidable that it not for the founda-
tion-acy that the negro is white man. for the dog
of single race which deudes the whole North not one
man in a million would oppose it. If there major
iy of slave States and they raise the cry of no
more free States in other words to prescribe
proviso that homogeneous population of the North should
not be permitted to em CRATE the national Territories
unless they conormed to the actual condition of southern
society it would be deemed great extravaganza and yet
1t would not involve housandh part of the wrong and
injustice, and indeed absurdity of the cry camorous
at present all the North of no slave States
! The Nebraska bill far it removes the Missouri
scton and permits the mixed population of the South to
emgrate TO the Territories is Of course right The farmer
of Massachusetts, who with hard labor and great difficulty
supports his family to the genial cline and
fertile soil of Kansas where with the labor he
surrounds his family with comforts and Injuries so,
too with the planter of Virginia. his slaves producing more
better fed, better clothed and all in
ntey better of and happier than they possibly could be
either in Massachusetts, or Virginia.
But the Nebraska bill presents false issue and
over, settles nothing. The federal government the
agent of the States should provide for the rapid growth of
populationshoud acquire territory open it for settle
nent and all Instructions the emigration the
spread expansion alike of the mird population of the
South and the homogeneous population Of the North But
the advocates Of the Nebraska bill discam this; indeed
dgnany deny that they intend to distractions
the of southern population and declare that
their only aim is to carry out the great principle of pop
ular Sovereignty which, before remarked, is misno
mer, obvious absurdity applied to Territory
u.s. ho,esre step the right direction that eH ultimately
lead as 10 truth.
In conclusion my dear sir have only say that the
time is believe At hand for the popular understanding
and therefore the final settlement of this sectional ques
ton It is wholly question of foct of KNOWLEDGE, OF
The negro is negro, and biack-whte
man and socalled slavery is the natural relation Of The
racesthe normal order of American society wherever
whites and negroes exist together and these
truths communicated to the at the North then
the democracy will occupy the position briefly and adj
mrably stated by the present Secretary of War when
the Senate few years since Col Davis offered amend
the Compromise BILL declaring it to be the duty of
the federal government to repeal Mexican laws and to
all distractions the emigration, expansion and
settlement of the population of the South equally with
that Of the Norh--thus leaving to climate natural pro-
ducts &c. determine which is best adapted and to
the inhabitants of the Territory when they to form
State government, to decide its character.
This distinct and common-sense issue, which, providing
for the growth and expansion of all classes OF American
population and the spread and extension of republican
system the whole continent, needs only single thing
to bring the democratic of the North square up
it and when that done, the slavery" question will be
settled forever.
1t is only needed explain to the North what slavery
is in realityto explode the illusions, the mposures the
lies that British and monarchca writers and their msera
BILE dupes in midst have imposed on ito demonstrate
that the negro is negro and not white man. child
is a child and not adult woman is woman and
man. and the scales knocked from their eyes that
blind themthe illusions scattered to the winds that
deude tbem-they will understand this subject it is
practically understood at the South and the Summers
and Gddingses and Garrisons who propose to the
white of the North to descend to the level OF the
negro and labor degrade them to hideous and uRnat
ural equality with inferior race will be lynchcd
readily and with much guse, in Boston or New York,
| MS in Charleston New Orleans.
