Freedom.
The Richmond Examiner, leading
Democratic paper in Virginia, and one Of
the most ardent supporters of Buchanan,
holds the following language:
Until recently, the defence of Slavery
labored under great difficulties, because its
apologists, (for they were mere apologlsts,
took halfway grounds. They confined the
defence of slavery to mere negro slavery
thereby giving up the slavery principle,
and admitting other forms of slavery to be
acrong. The line of defence, however, is
now changed. The South now maintains
that .Slarery is right, naturally and nee
essary, and does not depend upon Differ
ences Of complexion. The laws Of the
Slave States justify the holding of acAite
men IN bondage"
The Charleston Standard, leading Bu-
chanan paper in South Carolina, says:
''Slavery is the natural and normal con-
dition of the la6oring man qUhether white
or Uach. The great evil of Northern free
societies, is, that it is burdened with ser
pile class of mechanics and laborers, uTyft
for seltgouerament, and yet clothed with
the attributes and powers of citizens
Masters and Slaves is q relation IN society
as necessary rs that of parent anu child;
and the Northern States will have yet to
introduce it. Their theory of free govern
ment is delusion."
The Richmond, Va, Enquirer, Buchan-
ans confidential organ, speaks as follows:
"Repeatedly have We asked the North,
Has not the experiment of universal liberty
failed? Are not the evils of free society
insuferaJles and does not most thinking
men among you propose TO swbrert and re-
construct it: Still no answer. The
gloomy silence is another conclusive proof,
added to many other conclusive evidences
we have furnished, that free society in the
long run is an impracticabe form of socie-
ty; it is every where starving, demoralized
and insurrectionary. We repeat, then,
that policy and humanity alike forbid the
ertension of the evils of.tree society to new
people and coming generations. Two op-
posite and conflicting forms of society can
not, among civilized men, coexist and en-
dure. The one must give way and cease to
exist--the other become universal. Hftree
society be unnatural, immoral, unchristian,
it must fall and give way to slaue socie-
W-a system old as the arorld, uniyersal
as mGa."
The Muscogee, Ala, Herald, another
Buchanan organ, SAYS:
"Free society! we sicken at the name.
What is it but conglomeration of greasy
mechanics, filthy opperatiues, small fsted
farmers, and moon-struek theorists? All
the Northern and especially the New Eng
land States, are devoid of society fitted for
well bred gentlemen. The prevailing class
one meets is that of mechanics struggling |
to be g-nteel, and small farmers who do |
their own drudgery; and yet who are
hardly fit for association with a Southern
gentleman's body-servant. This is your
free society which the Northern hordes are
endeavoring to extend into Kansas"
The South Side Democrat of Virginia,
whose editor was supported by the Demo
Gratis for Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives of the present Congress, pitches into
Free, after the following style:
ave have got to hating every thing
with the prefix free, from free negroes
down and up through the whole catalogue
free farms, free labor, free society, free
will, free thinking, free children, and free
schools belonging to the same brood
Of damnable isms. But the worst of all
these denominations is the modern system
IF free schools. The New England system
Of free schools has been the cause and pro-
ific source of the infdelities and treason
hat have turned her cities into Sodons
md Gomorrahs, and her land into the
,onnon nestling-places of howling Bedlam-
ties. We abonaiaote the system because
he schools are free"
The Alabama Nail, in speaking of the
shooting of the Irish waiter by that distin-
suished Democrat, P. T. Herbert, says:
at is getting time that walters at the
North were convinced that they are serv-
lnts and not gentlemen in disguise. We
lope this Herbert affair will teach them
prudence"
The Washington Union, the national
,rgan of Buchanan, says that the free
white laborers of Kansas
care miserable Wear-eyed rab5le who
iave been transferred like so many cattle
o that country"
Senator Butler of South Carolina, uncle
# the gallant nephew who assaulted Chas.
Summer, says:
"That men have no right to vote unless
hey are possessed of property as required
" the Constitution of South Corolina.- |,
there no man can vote unless he owns ten
lcgroes, or real estate to the value of ten :
housand dollars" I
1t is the boast of the Statesman that I
heirs is "national' paTty-that its prin- I
iples are the same both North and South.
Ne may therefore safely conclude that the t
bove extracts express its opinions, and that 6
he Southern Buchanan organs faithfully t
npresent its "national" principles. Dem
Gratis of Ohio, are you willing to indorse !
V your votes the atrocious sentiments of
lese sectional nullifiers?
