The White Man shonld be Slave if a
Laborer- The Declaration of Indepen-
dence Repudiated.
From the Richmond (va.) Enquirer.l

"Until recently, the defence of slavery has
labored under great difficulties, because its
apologists-for they were merely apologists--
took half way grounds. They confined the de-
fence of slavery to mere negro slavery, there
by giving up the slavery principle, admitting
other forms of slavery to be wrong, and yield
ing up the authority of the Bible, and of the
history, practices and experience of mankind.
Human experience showing the universal sue
cess of slave society, and the universal failure
of free society, was unavailng to them, because
they were precluded from employing it, by ad-
mtting slavery in the abstract to be wrong.
The defence of mere negro slavery involved
them in still greater difficulty. The laws of
all the Southern States justified the holding
white men in slavery, provided that through
the mother they were descended, however re-
motely, from negro slave. The bright mu-
lattoes, according to their theory, were wrong
fully held in slavery.
"The line of defence, however, is changed
now, and the North is completely corncred,
and dumb as an oyster The South now main
tains that slavery is right, natural and neces-
sary. 1t shows that all divine and almost oil
human, authority justfeS it. The South fur
ther charges that the little experiment of free
society in Western Europe has been from the
beginning, cruel failure, and that symptoms
of failure are abundant in our North While
it is far more obvious that negroes be slaves
than whites-for they are only fit to labor, not
to direct-yet the principle of slavery is in it
self right, and does not depend on difference
of complexion. Difference of race, of lineage,
of language, of habits and customs, all tend to
render the institution more natural and dura-
BILE; and although slaves have been generally
white, still the masters and slaves have gene
rally been of different national descent

TUNE-THE MARsEILLEs HYMN.

Behold the furious storm is rolling,
Which Border Fiends, confederate, raise.
The Dogs of War, let loose, are bowling,
And 10 our infant. cities blaze.
And shall we calmly view the ruin.
While lawless force with giant stride
Spreads desolation far and wide,
In guiltless blood his hands imbruing?
Arise, arise, ye brave!
And let our war-cry be
Free Speech, Free Press, Free Soil, Free Men,
Fremont and Victory!
Oh Liberty can he resign thee
Who once has felt thy generous fame?
Can threats subdue, or bolts confne thee
Or whips thy noble spirit tame?
No ! by the heavens bright bending DER us!
We've called our Captain to the van
Behold the hour-Behold the man!
Oh, wise and valiant, so before u.s.
Then let the shout again
Ring out from sea to sea-
Free Speech Free Press, Free Soil Free Men,
Fremont and Victory!
Hurrah, hurrah from hill and valley,
Hurrah from prairie wide and free
Around our glorious Chieftain rally,
For Kansas and for Liberty!
Let him who first her wilds exploring,
Her virgin beauty gave to fame
Now save her from the curse and shame
Which slavery DER her soil is pouring.
Our standard-bearer, then,
The brave Pathfinder be!

THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST. GOVERNOR
REEDER.

1t is said that warrant for Governor Reed
ers arrest has arrived at Washington, and that
if he shows himself there he will be made a
prisoner and carried back to Kansas, to take
his trial before the excellent and impartial
Judge Lecompte, the Jeffreys of the territorial
tribunals. This is supererogation of oppres-
sion 1t strikes us that it is quite enough to
keep Governor Reeder out of the territory for
the purpose of depriving the inhabitants of the
benefit of his counses and his experience as a
public man, and that it is an act of super1uous
fer ocity to hunt him elsewhere, as the police
would hunt felon Probably, however, the
design of those who direct these proceedings
is not merely to drive him from Kansas, but
to make an example of him, to the terror of
all who may take the part of the people against
the Slave-drivers.
1t is worthy of remark that they have not
seught to arrest Governor Reeder at EaSton,
among his old neighbors, or at Boston, or at
New \ ork The reason, doubtless, is, that
the attempt to arrest him in either of those
places would doubtless lead to an unpleasant
popular excitement, while at Washington he
might be seized and sent off to the West with
out any danger of disturbance, either at the
seat of government or on the way to Lecomp-
ton.
Tn the meantime, it appears that the block
ade of Kansas, in Missouri, still continues
On that side, none but the friends of slavery
are allowed to enter, but General Lane has
entered the territory, from another quarter,
with detachment of settlers, who have gone
out with a determination to make Kansas a
free state If the bill admitting the territory
under the Topeka constitution be not passed
by the Senate, VIC fear that we shall soon have
more tidings of bloodshed.

A PREsIDENrIAL.CANDIDATE METAMoRPHosED
INTO PLArFoRM.-Two old friends, who i'll
former years had often stood shoulder to shoul-
der in the phalanx Of the " Unterrfed," hap
pened to meet a few days since at Easton, Pa.
After the usual greetings, some casual allnsion
to Aud Lang Sync," together with natural
curiosity on the part of each to know the pres
cnt political bearings of his old associate in these
changcful days, led to the following colloquy ::
"WelI, Judge" says interlocutOr No. l."
where do you stand You 90 for Bnchauan,
| suppose?" "Sir," replies the other, there is
no man living of whom have thought more
than of Jim Buchanan should like to go
for Jim Buchanan, and | roOuLd GO for him if
he were running but as Jim Buchanan is not
a candidate, Ipresume must 60 for some one
else" /" Buchanan not running-hew is that,
Judge fear | am somewhat dull, and shall
have to ask an explanation" 'Why, is it plain
enough, said Jim Buchanan was not running,
and | have his own words for it, Does MT lie
say 50 in his acceptance of the Cincinnati NOM
ination? Does MT he in that acceptance, change,
merge and transmogrify himself INTO plat
form | tell you it is not Jim Buchanan, but
the Cincinnati platform that is candidate be-
fore the people, and as / don't like the plat
form. and have fancy for voting a man, /
shall 90 for Fremont" "Givc me your hand
on that ,Judge,n was the enthusiastic reply !;
" am right glad to find that we shall stand
side by side once more, as we have so often
done in the good old times y and the two re-
united friends went on their way rejoicing.

HEALTH OF Mr.. SUMYER-Thc Washington
correspondent of The Times, underidate of July
9th, says:
I" learn from excellent authority that Sena-
tor Sumner is not improving in health under
the influence of the usually invigorating sea
breeze. His physical, debility still continuesin
perverse tenacity, amost discouraging symptom
in the estimation of those friends who know
how vigorous his constitution heretofore has
been, how temperate his habits and perfect his
former health. He has left Cape May for the
mountains, hoping to be benefited by the
change from sea to mountain air but, from
the evidence before me, | cannot avoid the mel
ancholy conviction that he will never recover
from the effects of the Brooks assault"

The Ground Taken.

The minority report of Mr.. OLIVER, OF the
Kansas Investigating Committee, has been sub
mitted to Congress, and is included in the off
cial publication. The following are its conclu
sions =
In conclusion, the undersigned begs to re-
port the following facts and conclusions, as he
believes, established by the testimony and
sanctioned by the law
| ErSt-That at the first election held in the
| Territory under the organic act, for delegate
to Congress, Gen. JOHN w. WHITFIELD receiv.
ed plurality of the legal votes cast and was
duly elected such delegate, as stated in the
majority report
iSecond-That the TerritoriaL Legislature
acas legally constituted body, aud had poacer
to pass ralid laacs and their enactncnts are there
fore ralid
IHird-That these laws, when appealed to,
have been used for the protection of lfe lber-
ty and property, and for the maintainance of
law and order in the Territory
FOurth-That the election under which the
sitting delegate, JOHN w. WHITFIELD, was
held, was in pursuance of valid law, and should
be regarded rs valid election.
EyM-That as said Whitfield, at said cleo
without opposition, he was duly elected as a
delegate to this body, and IS entitled to q seat
on tbs floor as such.
St1th-That the election under which the
contesting delegate, ANDREW Fl. REEDER,
claims his seat, was not held under any law,
but in contemptuous disregard of all law and
that it should only be regarded as the express
sion of band of malcontents and revolution
lists, and consequently should be wholly disrc-
garded by the House.
Sereath-AS to whether or not ANDREW H.
REEDER received greater number of votes of
resident citizens on the 9th than j. w. WHIT
FIELD did on the lst of October, 1855 no testi-
mony was taken by the Committee so far as
the undersigned knows, nor is it material to
the issue.
All of which is RESPECTFULLY Submitted.
NJ. OLIVER
We are glad to see the issue thus boldly
made. Iu declaring the Kansas Legislature to
be legalIy-coustituted body, and its enact
ments valid, Mr.. OLIVER adheres closely to the
Democratic programme, although he is thus
compelled to take ground from which many of
that party shrink. The evidence taken before
the committee, of which Mr. OLIVER was one
shows conclusively how the members of this
" Legislature were elected. There were eigh-
teen districts: and, according to the census re-
turns, there were but 1905 legal votes in them
all. Yet .42T votes were returned as having
been cast for PrO-Slavery candidates, 19l for
Free-State candidates, and 50 9scattering-mak-
ing total Of 6,307. Or the whole number Of
votes cast it was proved that only l,4lo were
cast by legal voters-while 4,90S were illegal
votes were cast by men frem Missouri, who had
been distributed in advance and sent into crery
Council District in the Territory and into ercry
Representative District but one. In every dis
trict these illegal votes outnumbered the legal
votes and the election were entirely controlled
by them. ...
This is the way in which this legally-con-
sttuted Legislature" was elected.
