ctety cannot, among civilized men cO-eXlSt and
endure. The one must give away and cease
to exist. The other becomes universal.
a" If free society be unnatural, immoral and
unchristian, it must fall and give away to slave
society-a social system old as the world, uni.
versal as man."
Another paper published in Virginia the
South Side Democrat journal distinguished
for its faithful support of Mr. Buchanan thus
expresses its honest indignation at the slang
about freedom and whatever belongs to it.
The editor says
| We have got to hating everything with
the prefix FREE, from free negroes down and
up through the whole catalogue--FREE farms
FREE labor FREE society, FREE wil FREE think
! ing, FREE children and FREE schools-all be-
longing to the same brood of damnQbs tsms
But the worst of all these denominations is the
modern system of FREE SCHOOLS. The New
England system of free schools has been the
cause aud prolific source of the infdeties and
treasons that have turned her cities into Sod
onls and Gomorrahs, and her laud into the COM
mon nesting place of bowling Bedlamtes-
We abominate the system, because the schools
are free"
The .MuscQgee WarH, a whole-soucd Bu-
chanan paper, published in Alabama, has the
courage to utter its sentiments in these words:
Free Society We sicken at the name
| What is it but cOnglomeration of GREASY ME-
CHANICS, FILTHY OPERATIVES, SMALL FIsrED FARM
ERs and moon struck THEORISTS All the
Northern and especially the New England
States are devod of society fitted for we'll
bred gentlemen. The prevailing class one
meets with is that of mechanics struggling to
be genteel, and small farmers who do their own
drudgery and yet who are hardly fit for as
sociation with a Southern gentIeman's body
servant. This is your free society which the
Northern hordes are endeavorng to extend in
to Kansas"
Let any candid man reflect on this language
of the Muscogee Herald, and if he wishes to
prevent the lower classes of northern society
the greasy mechanics and fAhy operatives and
sa.oa fs.cd jdTssers of the free States, from
finding home in Kansas and in the great
West, he will do as the Muscogee Herald and
all the noble and chivalric supporters of Mr.
Buchanan in the South are doisg he will
work and vote to elect that great son of Penn
sylvania, and secure what our gallant southern
friends desire he will make Kansas Slave
State. home fitted for well-bred gentlemen
not a community where :" the prevailing class
is mechanics struggling to be genteel, and small
farmers doing their own drudgery," as no gen.
tteulsa farmer in the south ever docs and as
no gentleman farmer ought to do anywhere, or
would do it the progressive doctrine of white
as weH a. black slavery were adopted in our
country
SeRatoT Downs, of Louisiana, puts the mat
ter in clear light In one of his fine, bold,
democratic speeches, he lately said -
d" / cali apca the opponents of slavery to
prove that the WHITE LABoRERs of the north
are as happy, as conteuted, or as comfortable
as the SLAVE OF the South. In the South the
slaves do not suffer one-tenth Of the evils Ell
dured by the white Iaborers of the North
Poverty is unknown to the Southern slave,
fer 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 eXcellences of the system of
slavery and this the superior condition of the
Southern slave over the Northern WHITE la
borcr."
Is not Senator Downs right Can't our
White Working Men see that if they were
slaves they would aIways be taken care of ?
Can't they understand, that if one master
should become too poor to keep them, he could
sell them to another, who of course would buy
and take care of them What can be plain
er? Is not every working man a thing to be
taken care of? And how fortunate the socie
ty, where working men, white as we'll as black
can be sold to benevolent master, who will
take care of them as long as they can earn |
money for him ?
We might extend this matter indefinitely
We could show by any number of extracts how
honest the Southern Democrats are proclaim
ing the principles on which they support their
party. and how they rely on the favorite son
of PENNSYLVANIA to fulfil the pledges of the
Cincinnati Platform, and open the Territories
of the West to the institution of Slavery al
institution which they prove Is good alike for
black and white mechanics, laborerS and farm
ers placing them in the happy position of slaves
on an equal footing with them, 10 be bought
and sold and properly cared for, without being
spoiled by free wages, or free schools, or any
of the evils aud folies of free society.
Democrats stick TO your party aud secure
the blessings Of slavery TO yourselves aud your
children from the Mississippi to the Pacific,
THE THREE DocroRs Geo. W Curtis, Esq.
in the course of q speech alta Fremont meeting
at jersey City, last week, is reported to have
given the following very successful application
to the Presidential candidates :
/" 1t is said the Union Is IN danger, ana
measures must be taken for its preservation.
We see before US the Union and the Constitu-
ton sick of an attack Of slavery, and several
doctors are called to prescribe for the patient.
First. we have man with a white cravat,
which shows that he is of the regular faculty.
He inquiries the symptoms, and says, my opin.
ION is that this patient requires little dose OF
of slavery" This gentleman is DIR, Buchanan.
(Laughter.)
Theu we have another physician, whose fea-
tures we cannot very plainly discern, the ex-
preston of whose face is hidden from Us by
