All cautious and keen observers of political
affairs must discover, that the hatred of slav.
cry and oppression which is deeply seated in
the hearts of Chnstianized Protestant people,
must prove powerful rallying cry, when its
voice can be heard through the meshes of pre-
Judlce and party rancor. Democracy early
discovered the danger of the Anti-Slayery SEN
timent to the prosperity Of their party, and they
spared no pains to heap upon the cause al
the Obloquy in their power. In this SANDER
Gus work they were aided by the Commerce,
the Trade, and the Money ofthe country, all
of which dread excitement and change. The
great principle was, however, more powerful
than Party, Money and even social influences,
with the whole power of government at their
back. 1t marches on, tramp, tramp, 10 irre-
sistible grandeur, until the genius of slavery
stands agast, and wall OF agony and fear

The Democratic party early allied itself with
slavery, and embarked its destinies in the same
boat 1t must now stand or fall with the &C.
cursed institution. Mr.. Buchanan early said
that the Democ ra:ic party was the only aly left
to slavery. 1t is now making its last struggle
TO retain its hold Of the Sword and Purse OF the
nation. 1t has cost tens of thousand of its best
men who love Democracy still, but who disdain
to be tied to the car of slavery. Democracy

True Democracy recognizes the essential and
natural equality of all men before God, and be

is born of slave mother-as a thing, a chattle
personal, an article of merchandise, and on a
par with horse or an OK
One great means of success to the Democrat
ic party mas been its prestige of success. Let
this be gone, and its days are numbered
Many are beginning to discover that it is the
minority party in the Free State, and this is
shat;erng the only tie which held them to it,
No one believes that the Northern Democrats
respect and admire slavery. They affiliate with
it politically because it helps them to office and
power. When 1t fails 10 command success its
power is forever broken.
