measure it sees fit, no matter how degrad
ing it may be to the character of the free
aOhite men of the North.
Not many years ago the Southern slave
holders were contented to have their "hu.
man chattles" protected in the States where
they held them.
Nert, they demanded and secured fee
Slave States from acquired territory, (Louis-
iana, Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, and Tex
as while the Free States have only secur-
ed tWo-Iowa and California.
Nert, the Slave power demanded all the
Territories, and broke down the Missouri
Compromise, which secured a part of those
Territories to free labor.
Nert, they demand the right to come in
to the free States with their slaves whenever
they choose, and stay as long as they please
and the United States Court seem about to
yield to them, and grant this outrageous de-
mand.
But the last the crowning, the dia6olical
assumption is, that Slavery is not to be con-
fined to the NEGRO RACE, but must be
made to include laboring WHITE MEN
also. This doctrine, which is so monstrous
and shocking as almost to seem incredible,
| is now openly avowed and defended by
very many of the newspapers and of the
public men ofthe south who support Bu-
chanan. The doctrine is also proclaimed
by some Northern newspapers of the so cal
led Democratic party; but not generally
with such boldness as in the South Gin
cinnati Gazette.
The New York Day Book, one of the
two papers in New York city that supports
James Buchanan, proposes to enslave poor
AMERICANS, GERMANS and IRISH
who may fall into poverty and be unable to
support their families. Here are the Day
Boots exact words in speaking of the
POOR WHITE PEOPLE.
Sell the parents of these children into
SLAVERY. Let our Legislature pass a
law that whoever will take these parents
and take care of them and their OFF
SPRING,i in sickness and in health,-clOthe
them feed them, and house them,-shaH be
leqally entitled to their services; and let the
same Legislature decree that whoever re-
ceives these parents and their CHILDREN,
and obtain their services, shall take care Of
them AS LONG AS THEY LIVE"
Ina recent speech by Mr.. Reynolds, Pierce
Buchanan Democratic candidate for Con-
gress from Missouri, that gentleman distinct
| ly asserted that
"The same construction of the power Of
Congress to exclude Slavery from a United
States Territory would justify the govern
ment in excluding foreign born citizens
GERMANS AND IRISH AS WELL AS
INIGGERS."
Here Missouri Democrat classes GER
MANS and IRISH indiscriminately with
NEGRO SLAVES.
Mr.. L. H. Goode, another Atchison Dem
ocrat of Missouri, in a recent speech against
the Free State men of.Kansas, denounced
the laboring men as "WHITE SLAVES
SENATOR BUTLER, (the uncle Of
assassin" Brooks,) shining light in the
Democratic galaxy, declared in a speech il
the q. S. Senate this session
"That men have no right to VOTE un,
less they are possessed of property as requir
ed bv the Constitution of Sonth Carolina
There no man can vote unless he owns ten
negroes or real estate to the value of ten
thousand dollars"
And this is the doctrine which "Demo
cracy" so-called would introduce in Ohio
and other Free States.
JAMES BUCHANAN, The Preeiden
tial candidate of the men and of the part,
who hold these odious views, advocated tn,
doctrine in the United States Senate, o
reducing the WAGES of AMERICAN
Operatives and LABORERS to th'
European standard, which is known to b,
about TEN CENTS A DAY. What {
candidate Mr.. Buchanan is for those whc
make WHITE MEN Slaves.
JOHN C. FREMONT, the true Repub
Ilican and true Democrat, who has worked
his own way up from poverty to grateness
pays the following high tribute to the digni
ty of FREE LABOR, and yet his enemies
have the meanness to assert that he is 1
Shareholder. Col. Fremont never owned
dollar in human flesh. Hear what h.
says about Stree labor"
GREE LABOR-the natural capita
which constitutes the real wealth of thi
great country, and creates that inteIIigen
power an the masses, alone to be relied Oh
as the bulwark of FREE INSTITUTIONS
The man who votes for James Buchanan
In the coming election votes for Slavery il
Kansas, and in Territory sufficient to max
TWENTY STATES the size Of Ohio.
votes his own land away-votef to degrad'
labor, and fasten despotism upon the fre'
North more oppressive than Austrian anc
Russian tyranny-and he votes to sustain
the robbers, murderers and pirates who ar
now driving northern men from Kansas
Awake, working men OF the North, befor
it is too late, and vindicate your rights a
the Ballot Box!
