Psriahs scccuAts for many Of the anomalies o
Southern policy. Hence the avowed hostility Il
general education ct the South. Beside the eco
nonical impossibilty Of any educational system
growing ont of the impoverished ard pauperized
condition of the country, the dominant slaveocra'
breads the instruction of hs poor wh'te neigaoor
as he does that Of bis slaves. He must be Kept IN
ignorance lest be detect the cause of his misery and
rise to throw it of. Hence, too, the embargo on
Northern books and papers which have any talnt oil
Freedom in their pages. OF course they cannot
fear their harpirg the slaves who cannot read.
1t is 10 hinder their falling in the way OF the few OF
their white serfs who may have picked up knowl-
edge of reading, and from whom the dreaded con-
tspion might spread among their fellows.
And it is a system which thus dwarfs and dis
torts the imsged God in man-n the rhife man -
which the Government Of the country Is striving
with all its mighty pOwer-and BY help, too, OF
almost incoDceivable outrsges-to spread over a
yet wider domain. The party now in place de-
clare in substance in the resolutions just adopted
at Cincinnati, that the issue on which the Ameri-
can People is to pass at the approaching election
il. whether vast regions which had once been SOL
EMMY declared sacred forever from the fatal tread
of Slavery, shall be thrown open to the blight, the
poverty the ignorance, the vice, the cruelty which
ever swarm about its footsteps. 1t is to subject
all our children to the danger, some of them to
the certainty of having their manhood crushed out
of them; of being reduced to the condition OF half
starved bloodhounds, clad of crumbs from the
SLAVE holders table for helping keep his human eat
tie; of losing all the pleasures of knowledge, all
the chances of betteriDg their condition, all that
makes life worth the living, that the new "demo-
cratic" candidate for the Presidency and his parti
,sns ask Of the People of the North for their vstes

other. On the one side Canaan, land OF vine

and honey, blessed Of God and set apart for those
who i'll honor Him by tie services of labor and OF

New-York daily tribune., 1856-06-09

Our readers will see by an advertisement in an.
other coumn that Meeiog for Kansas is to be
held at the Tabernacle this evening" when Gov.
REEDER will address the public upon the sanguin-
sry and ferocious persecution to which the Free
State settlers Of that Territory now subject for
no other than their preference of liberty to
Slavery in their new home. Being himself at this
moment under Indictment for High Treason be-
cause he has taken part in the formation of Free
Corsitut on for the future State, he is emiDently
fitted to represent their cause before any but bar
barous audience. 1t is unnecessary to say that on
this occasion his hearers will be numerous and in
telligent; but we cannot refrain from expressing
the hope that the proceedings of this evening may
result IN something more than mere declarations of
mpathy and good will for our brethren who are
battling iu Kansas against the heaviest odds in be-
balf Free Speech, Free Territory and the right to
make their own laws in peace and quetness.

mi, i. that of being trot,ed out in the agony of dis
appo p,men to throw up their hats and lead off the
shout in behalf of successful rival. To this dsc.

in the ord nary course Of nature must be his last
chance must have added special twinge to the
occasion. Csss, however, has become quite too
insignificant 10 JUSTLY the wasting Of words upon
him.
As for Douglas, passing lightly over the can.

laws Of the bogus Legislature, upheld by breaking
into houses. robbing trunks, batterng down hotels.
and destroying types and printing. presses. That
is what Douglas caHs "rebukiDg treason" One
question which he put was certainly pertinent.
