Next, they demanded and secured five
slaves states from acquired territory, La.
Fla, Ark, Mo-, and Texas, while the
Free States have only secured two, Iowa
and California.
Next, the slave power demanded all the
territories, and broke down the Missouri
Compromise which secured part OF those
territories TO free labor.
Next, they demanded the right to come
into the free states with their slaves wh-n-
ever they choose, and stay as long as they
please. and the United States Courts seem
/ abou, to yield to them, and grant this out
rageous demand.
But the last, the crowning, the diabol-
zeal assumption is, that slavery is not TO be
confined to the NEG RO RACE, but must
be made to include lab'ring WHITE MEN
also. TINS doctrine, wnnh is SO mou-
strous and shocking as almost TO seem in-
credible, is now openly ayowea and de-
tended by very many OF the newspapers
and OF the public men of the Scum that
support James Buchanan. The doctrine
is also proclaimed by some northern news
papers OF the so-called Demo :ratic party,
Tut not generally with such boldness as IN
the south. To show the exact extent and
nature of this doctrine of enslaving white
men, the following extracts fro..a Buchan-
an papers, and from the speeches Of Bu-
chanan men are gwen.
The Richmond Enquirer. one of the
leading Democratic papers in Virginia,
ardentiy supporting Mr.. Buchanan, nolds
The following language in late Issue:
Unul Recently, the defence OF slavery
has labored under great difficulties, be-
cause lis apologls,s (ior they were mere
apologlsts) took halfway grounds. Thy
conflned tie defence of slavery 10 mere
negro slavery; thereby GIVING up the s!a-
very principle, admitting Other forms OF
slavery to lie wrong.
Tne line Oil defence, however, is now
changed. The south now maintains thai
slavery is right, natural and necessary,
aud does not depend upon difference Oh

STATES justify the holding of WHITE
MEN III bondage"
Another Buchanan paper, the leading
one IN South Carolina, says:
Slavery is the natural and normal con-
dltionof the laborlng men, whether
WHITE or black. Tue great evil of nor
thern free society. is that it is turdened
with a seryile class OF MECHANICS and

Tne Richmond (Va.) Enquirer, Mr..
Buchanans confidential organ, and con.
sidered by the . Democratic party as its
ablest paper in the South, SPEAKS as fol-
lows In a recent number:

airy.
:" We repeat then that policy and hu-
mainly alike forbid the extension of the
evils OF free society to new people and
coming generations.
Two opposite and conflicting forms of
society cannot, among civilized men, CO.
exis, and endure. The one must give
way and cease to exist. The other become
universal.
If free society be unnatural, immor-
al, unchristlan, 1t must fall, and give way
TO slave soclety--a social system as old
rs the world, universal as man"
And the Muscogee { Ala. Herald, an
other valiant Buchanan organ says:
"Free society. we sIcken at the name.
