The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1855-08-29

The leading democratic anti-Amerlcan jour
nal in the State Of Illinois, is the Chicago De
mocrat, the publisher of the laws Of the .
States by authority" Hear what this paper
which flies at IFS head the name of Stephen s
Douglas for president, says in regard to the
views of slavery entertained by the foreign i'm
migrants now rapidly filing up this country:
1--WE are wiling to do anything democratic
+ to unite the north. But we would as soon unite
with the friends Of human slavery in the soutl
as with the men in the north who make a mans
birth place or bis doctrna religion test fol-
office over and above his character and his
principles. The same democratic principles thai
Aealtlsy foreign immigration, as the means Of get
ting rid Of IT. Besides our country should con-
tnue to be what it is now, the home of the op-

We ask the attention of every Louisianian,
Of every friend to the south, to this astounding
confession of a democratic organ. According
to this administration journal the best means of
getting rid of slavery is to keep up heavy for
eign immigration! And yet anti-Amercan,
self-styled democratic papers, protesting great
devotion to southern interests, denounce. abuse
and Willy the American party for endeavor-
ing to check by legal and constitutional means,
the influx Of immigration into the United States.
But, we suppose, in so doing, the Piercites at
the south are merely afording .'aid and COM
fort'' to their northern allies.

The Little Rock Gazette and Democrat, de-
cidedly the ablcst democratic paper in Arkan-
sas, in speaking of the platform put forth by the
American national convention at Philadelphia, |
holds the following language:
"What is true and just is not Objectionable in
any party, and can never be condemned by us. I
And we repeat, the position assumed by the ma
tional organisation of this new party, upon the
slavery question, is true to the constitution, and
therefore better for the south than that which
has heretofore been assumed, or so far as we
are aware proposed, by any OTHER pa77y. We
Ire democrats in principle, and our faith proved
~ the works of our lives, we shall ever remain
20. But we are not to be hood -winked by
James, nor led away from principle by profess
lon." The Democrat is honest at any rate

1rther reliance must be placed upon the coop l
ration of the United States, and that the Gu {
ans must take the initiative and carry on the :
