This was in consequences Of the following fac,
Gov, Floyd, Of Virginia, had just arrived in
New York City for the special purpose ofbav-

impossible for him TO entertain the proposition
He considered that repeal an infamous breach

WOrkingmen Read This.

The Richmond Enquirer, the leading Bu-
chanan organ Of the South, ina late number
gives utterance to the following significant SEN
ment: 1
"Slavery is but. that social station in which
the will Of the superior stands for law to the
inferior" The right of the weak to have
guardians or masters, is not less sacred right
than that OF the wise and prudent to command,
|! is clear BY the duty of society to reduce 10
slavery (as we have defined Slavery its
weak and dependent members, as to invest
prudent ones with Office and command"
This we should call outspoken. plain and
significant. "The right OF the weak. TO have
guardians or masters, is not-a less sacred right
than that cfthe wise and prudent to command" !"
Who are the weak. in the sense Of the Enqai-
rCr? Not the rich, but the poor man who has
his humble cot, and earns an honest living by
honest labor This is the man that needs master
to look after him, and lord it over him. Let our
yeomanry who till the soil, our mechanics who
ply their daily skill in useful employment
and our honest day laborers reflect how happy
they would be with master and overseer?
What glorious institution slavery isl 1t is quite
worth while to blockade the Missouri and kill
forty GRITTY free state men to establish it in Kan
sas. 'lt is as clearly the duty of society to red>
uceto slavery its weak and dependent members
as to invest prudent ones with Office and com.
mand.'
Bow your necks, ye men of toll, submit to
your fate. You are "weak," and you need a
strong hand over you. 1t has been supposed
that freedom is better than slavery, but new
light has burst upon the 10Th century. Poor
men and working men we're made to be slaves.
Hurrah for the peculiar institution" Let us
have it in Kansas. and if it is a good thing
there, it is equally good in Pennsylvania and
all over the land Good times are coming
The great mission of this country is to extend
and perpetuate slavery. True, Thomas JEFF
ferson in letter to Mr.. Warville, under date Of
February 18th, 1888. said
"You know that nobody wishes more ardent
" to see an abolition not only of the trade, but
of the condition OF Slavery, and certainly nc
BODY will be more willing to encounter sacrG.
fee for that object"
Jefferson was mistaken in his views. HI

beautiful working of the system. The Brook

ardent desire for the success Of the Republican
