MOI let the Indignation, the stern condemnation Of
the American people rest upon the public man who

that pronounced all men equal before the law, had

naond Enquirer, the leading Buchanan organ south
of the Potomac, and in fact the leading Democrat.
10 organ in the Union, says that free society is n
failure, and that it ought not to be extended"
Another Southern paper. high in the confidence Of
the Administration party, tells us that it is n crime
TO extend into Kansas this free society. This Rich.
mond Enquirer tells us that "tho principle Of Sia-
very is right, land does not depend ON siffcrcnce
of couplexiOn." Let the laboring man, les tho
farmers and the mechanics who dwell here in this
glorious County of Oulchess, on the. banks Of the
Hudson, take this dVeirine home with them, read
IT to their families aud their children that tho lead
ing Democratic organ in the United States declares
that the principle Of Slavery is right and docs
not depend on difference of complexion" A book
written by George Fitzlugh, has been entitled
Free Society a Failure" This book has been
fully ind ,rsed by this same Rich mo Enquirer.
i call your attention to a few sentences from this
work that has received the Endorsement of the
leading Democratic organ OF the United States:
Make the laobring man a slave Of one man in
stead Uf the slave OF society, and he would be far
better Off" Laburing men Of Old Dutcbess, what
say you to that doctrireY Do you believe you
would be better of il yOu were made the slaves of
capital instead Of rece living the wages OF honest
toll? Ii you do vote for buchanan, Two hum
dred years Of Liberty have made white laborers a
pauper handful" Laboring men what say you
to that sentiment? Have two hundred years Of
liberty in the Western World made the labOring
men, tho mechanics, the small farmers of these
Free States of ours q pauper bandittt II you
believe 50, vote for James Buchanan and the party
that utters and indorses this sentiment: Free 30
cicty is n monstrous abortion. and Slavery the
healthy, beautiful and natural being which they
nre trying unconsciously to adopt" Free society
o monstrous abortion! Why, gentlemen cast your
eyes over the great State Of New York. Look at
the free farms upon which ireemen stand, tilling
their own acres, calling no man master, ano wish
ing to make no man a slave, Look at your me-
chanics' shops, scattered over your State, in which
hundreds of articles of beauty and utility are man
ufactured for the benefit Of society, Look ut your
Free Schools and abundant libraries, where the
hundreds of thousands of children are enjoying
the benefits of u free education. Look Mt your
mighty commerce, and at all that makes you the
Empire State Of the Union, and then if you are
ready to pronounce free society a failure vote for
James Buchanan and the Democratic party (Cries
Of Never, nevor,") If you are not ready to dc
this, then vote for John c. Fremont, (Enth usas
tic applause.) He tells US that free labor is the
natural capital which constitutes the real wealth o.
this great country, and creates that intelligent
power in the masses alone to be relied on as the
bulwark Of free institutions. That is the senti
ment of freedom. If You love it, vote for the party
that proclaims it, and not for the party that PIC
claims the doctrine that ''free society is a mon.
strous abortion" 1.-The slaves are governed ia

there is no doubt about it. The slaves are govern
ed-aud one of the Richmond papers told us re
Gently that the capitalists in the North and tn
conservative class were beginning to discover tina
the people must be governed. We will teach thes
Southern Slave Propaganpists, and those in the
North, if such there are, who sympathize in theil
sentiments, a lesson that will last them in all fu
ture time, that the intelligent freemen OF this coun

What think you Of that doctrine? Is that De

this: 1t a man be weak in body and mind, jus
