So much for extracts from Democrat
lc newspapers Now for a few from
Democratic speechesA
S. w. Downs, late Democratic Senator
from Louisiana, In an elaborate and care
fully prepared speech, published III the
Washington Globe, SAYS:
:" | call upon the opponents of Slavery
to prove that the WHITE LABORERS
of the North are as happy, as contentent-
/ ed, or as comfortable, as the slaves of the
t South. In the south the slaves DO not
! suffer one-tenth of the evils endured by
! the white laborers Of the North. Pow
erty is unknown 10 the Southern slaves,
| for as soon as the master of slaves becomes
/ too poor to provide for them he SELLS
/ them to others who can take care OF them.
! This sir, is one of the excellencies of the
system of slavery, and this the superior
condition of the Southern slave over the
/ Northern WHITE laborer.'
According TO Mr.. Downs, then, (good
Democratic authority all that the North
ern white laborer requires is somebody to
sell him when he falls into poverty. Ad-
mirable philanthropy Beautiful Democ-
racy.!

/ in a speech in the United States Senate,
that the operatives OF New England

Pierce-Buchauan Democratic candidate
for Congress from Missouri, that gentle
man distinctly asserted that
The same construction of the power
/ of Congress to exclude slavery from a
United States Territory, would justify the
Government In excluding foreign-born
citizens-Germans and irish as well as
Niggers.'
Here Missouri Democrat class GER
MANS and IRISH indlscriminately with
