Gratifying Intelligence I


We wish the followers OF the Slave Demoe.
rAey in Ohio could have access 10 the Loeolo.
co papers cf the South. We wish they could
read the soothing, aAttering. patrOuizing para.
graphs that constantly appear in then. For
instance, the Richmond Enquirer, Of the IOsh
ult., has an article headed "A Southern party,
which is full Of choice gems. The editor is
opposed 10 the plan Of the Georgia meeting,
for the formation Of a Southern party, and
places bis argument on 6rm and impre enable
ground. He asserts that the South is all right
now. that it is wholly and intensely pro Slave
ry, and that it never permits itself to be divi-
ded when the interests Of Slavery are involv.
ed. II also asserts that the Locofoco party Of
the North is just as true to Slavery as is the
South. 1t can be relied upon in any emergen-
cy when Southern interests demand help. Both
Of these propositions are true. The uniform
action Of the South in favor Of Slavery, and
the base subseryiency Of the North as manifest
ed in the annexation Of Texas. the Mexican
war, the purchase of Slave Territory, and the
repeal Of the Missouri compromise, all demon
strates that the South can depend upon the Slave
democracy Of the Free States. What need Of
any other prO'slaVery party Surely, none
uld be more Obsequious and faithful than
have been these Northern dOughfaces.
The Enquirer truly says:
The Democratic party al the North is drilled
from bOyhOOd in the principles of Southern
Republicanism.
Here that, ye voters Of Ohio who are asked
to confirm the Kanzas villiany by the election
Of the LocofOco ticket this fall. Here is the
opinion entertained of You and your principle
by the leading and aVOwsd prO.Slavery organ
Of Virginia. You are drilled from boybood'
to the bidding of the Slave prOpagandsts.-
How do you like this service? How long do
you expect to remain in that position? There
is no mistaking what is meant by Southern
Republicanism,' 1t is Slave extension, Slave
propagandsm, and nothing else. 1t is deter.
minatOn that the $50, 900 Shareholders of the
South shall rule the twenty millions of freemen
Of the rest Of the Union. There are signs
that these Northern serfs and packhOrses are
becoming restive, and are beginning to think
they have been used for ignominious purposes
about long enough.
We hope every Northern doughface and al.
ly Of the South will carefully read the follow.
ing from the same article in the Enquirer:
For the last twenty years the Union has
been preserved at least twice year by the
q otes of the Northern Democracy. Not ses
sion Of Congress. has. we believe, elapsed du.
ring the time, in which some measures have moi
been voted down by the South, aided by par
of the Northern Democracy, which if carried,
would have led quickly aud inevitably TO tht
dissolution of the Union
Was there ever such ridiculous absurdity il
nrint before Is there LocofOco in the fre,
States that can read this paragraph, and ther
look an honest, intelligent man in the face
without blush Of shame and notification a
his wretched self debasementl And yet such
miserable stuff is written, and published at the
capital Of the Oldest State in the UnionI Fol
what purpose? Simply to alarm the poor timd
slaves of that party in the free States, and
keep them true to the legitimate work for which
they have been "DRILLED FROM BoYHooD," tt
labor for the advancement of the slaveholding
South. What spectacle for ireemsn in free
