The Difference,

What a difference (says the Chicago
Dsmocrat,) there IA between he mani
ness Of those who live ir Sla ve-holding
communities, and their s,toadies" 10 The
free States. The following from the
Newport. Ky. News. should put TO
blush The pusillaniG Gus advocates OF
slavery in The free States. Its sen,i-
meEls are bold, manly snd outsppken.-
|, will be noticed tha, ,6ere is a just ap
prpclaiion as 10 who are the true friends
OF the South. They are not the brawl-
ing seekers for place who woald coDiin-
oe upon her ito curse OF slsvery forever.
If iher might have ihnfl hy .faw cling to
the slave power:-bui those who would
give her The prosperity Of Freedom.-
Bot let the News speak: s
iii the Democrats waat to lose their
power. lei Them support an institution
rursed BY God and despised by all men
OF every party, the surrounding Eations,
and h: a large majority If the American
people. We warn our friends 10 let the
evil alone. 1t puts the black man in
chains. and curses the white man's labor.
The United States require no such inn
pediinent. and il has been fully proved
that the Free S,ases get along better with

The real foes Of The Spu.h are no,
those who labor to make her more free.
more prosperous aud more secure. The
enemies of the slarehoiding States are
not those who deplore the existence of
the cursed institution of human bondage.
The real enemies Of the Sonih are those

1t is clear that working mrn operate
against their own intt rests when they

upon The other part and causes the EN-
ployers TO ,yrannize over the whole
Hence il is tina, The well wisbers Of the
human family oppose The institution of
slavery. not only because it enslaves the
black people, but because il ensIaves the
white people also. and leaves the whole
