Views Of the Leading Buchanan Organ
in the South.

i III buC OOubhs
A friend Of ours, who is a subscriber ,c
tho Richmond Enquirer, the leading Blu
chanan paper in the South, has sent Us the
Enquirer Of the i2th, for examination and
use. We have no time this morning, as
The paper is received jus, before going to
press. to comment, al any length IN the POI
sitions OF the Enquirer, hut only TO ask the
mechanics Of the North, all who believe in
the honor and dignity Of labor, and oil who
wish to preserve Kansas from the blight
AMI nildew Of Slavery to notice these chore
extracts. The paper from which We quote
may he seen a, our Counting Room. Iii
the weekly Enquirer, aud may be had Tor
SO 90 per anuum in advance.
To commence with the extracts. begin
ning with some from All article headed,
SLAVERY IN THE ABSTRACT.
"lu the normal aud ordinary situation OF
men and Oi society, The whole Snuth con-
ours that slavery Is natural II not necessary.
Hence, we quite The Bible, which has mol
one word In favor ot negru slavery, nor war
d negro ever hea, Of in Judea unless Queen

she might have heard OF and seen her
neighbUrs. We also Gle Greek and Roman
history, and the almost universal praclice ol
mankind, to show that slavery mot nego
sla.er,) Is right, universal. natural, and in
the general, necessary. We cite, Tor he
same purpose, The awful effects that have
.nsurd IN a little curner Of Western Europe,
from tho little shurl-lv"d experiment 10 DIS
,~nse with domestic slavery"
We need not ask men educated under a
system Of free schools, what would be the
natural result of such sentiments, or what
their adoption in community would lead to-.
Bul we may ask them, in case it was thu hit
bet. to establish slavery in Maine Tor i'll
stance,) WHO WOULD BE THE SLAVES!
Again the { qnlrer says:
"None OF us think slavery righ, or proper,
under all circumstances, anu in all coun-
lrirs, nor that all races OF men should be
,laves. Ye, we all think, that, in The gen.
eral, slavery is u humane. natural u d pro
teclive institution OF the South. We hold
that slave society is the normal cohdiion OF
soc.,y, not it, universal condition"
So much for this Buchanan organ's views
on slavery in the abstract. Now let us look
at Several paragraphs from an article head
oil "What the South gains by the repeal OF
the Missouri restriction 6 s, this:
"The repeal Of the Missouri restriction.
besides oiier,ug atunement and Preparations
for an aif,onl upon The South, opens the
Federal domain to the free expansion aud
development OF negro slavery"
This extrac, tells the whole story. Yet
the Buchanan organs in Maine have the
.GronIery to deny tina, the Buchanan party
is slavery Extension party.
Again il says:
"Fremon, may not he elected, bu, the
triumph Of his party will be postponed onl,
for single term unless, meanwhile, the
Soulh RECEIVERS lis power in The conieieracy,
and establishes couu,erpoi.e TO the ascen.
dauc, at abolilionism. This then is the
only salvation for The South-to reeortr q
agprOtetiing pots1 in The Senate"
The grea, Importance to The South of adj

THE NORTH is no, Free votes in the Senate

Now lie, us see how the South propose,
To add To the slave vote in the Senate, a'
