THE CAMPAIGN TRIB UNE,
1856.

Shall Slavery "pour itself OCE without restraint
"and find no limit but the Pacific Ocean'' That
it should, was proclaimed ten years ago by Henry
A. Wise, now Governor Of the chief slavebreeding
State and an aspirant TO show how 'Black Re.
publicans" should be ruled from the Presidential
Chair. More recently, Senator Toombs predicted
that he would yet live to call the roll Of his slaves
from Bunker Hill Monument, and he has since been
to Boston to lecture Anti-Slayery men, within the
shadow of that Monument, on the blessings OF
Bondage and the natural aDtagOnism between Lib
erty and Labor For months past, the country
has witnessed a race between Pierce, Douglas,
Buchanan, and their less conspicuous competitors
for the Cincinnati Presidential nomination, either
in person or by their hackers, TO see which could
dive deepest and stay under longest in their
subseryiency to the Slavery Propaganda, and 30
procure it's overnsstering support to secure
that nomination. Every sign indicates that the
long process of debsuching and degrading that
which counts itself the Democratic party is there
to be completed, and the transformation OF what
remains Of that party into mere convenience and
instrument of the Slave Power is now to be con-
summated. Already, the fundamental a1iOms of
the Declaration of Independence are secuted as
fantasies by the pretended followers OF the author
of that immortal manifestO-the noble affirmation
that "All men are created equal " is frittered
away with mere assertion that all men OF one
color are entitled to freedom, while those of
different hue are consigned to the bitterness and
debasement Of perpetual bondage. Already,
Federal judges begin to PROFOUND alphabetically
the doctrine that no State can shield her soil
from the whitening tread Of the Shareholder and
his human chattels-that vaguely defined inter-
State comfy should be permitted TO override the
most positive statutes, based alike on Divine
Injunction and natural human right. Already
the Federal Judiciary ventures to affirm that chill
dren born on the free soil of Illinois and Nebraska
may, in defiance Of the Ordinance of 81 and the
Restriction of 1870, be legally carried into eternal
bondage in Missouri. Already, the Kanes and Griers
and Leavitts evince their readiness to PROSTATE
every attribute State sovereignty at the fOOtstoO
Of the MolOch whose affairs OyershadOw the SUMMER
half of the Model Republic and whose human sacri-
fees send up million prayers nightly to the God
of the oppressed and helpless from the "old
helds OF virginia, from inc rce-sWatnps OF CaIo-
lima, from the canebrakes Of Texas, the auction
blocks and bagnios of New-Orleans.
Meantime, the praires and river-sdes of KAN
SIS are ringing with the music of the pioneers ak
as cabin after cabin is reared as temporary home
for the children from among whom her future legis-
lators and governors are TO be chosen. The plow
is turning up her virgin soil aud the blithe sOwer
preparing to scatter his seed, while the carpenter
and mason putting up the rude structures
which must serve for both churches and school
houses through brief season. On either hand the
hum of busy Industry, of cheerful, hopeful, unde-
grading Labor, fills the yernal atmosphere. But
side by side with these, the fettered children Of
Ham are being marched in to the melancholy clank
Of their own chains-the collie and the slaye-whip
are hurrying forward their unwelcome contribo-
tons to the peopling Of that infant State-the
broad, slOveny plantation with its negro-quarters
and its stern police, is beginning TO take
its place and proclaim its estimate of labor
and the laborer side by side with the pioneers quar-
ter.sectiCn and log cabin. sham Legislature, i'm
posed on Kansas by Missouri conspiracy, invasion,
and gigantic corruption of the polls, has pretended
l 10 ieonlize Slavery in Kansas and impose on her
