A Perpetual Pledge and Covenant

1hc institution Of african Slavery
cannot continue 10 eTist in the S0utheyn
Stotcs, under q continuance Of the pres
eat Nutura7ization La,ys.
There is proposition which no man,
in full possession Of his senses, will at,
tempt to controvcrt " African Slavery
cannot continue under the present Natu.
raization Laws. Let the planter, the
mechanic, the lawyer the merchant and
the doctor look at it. 1t is an undenia.
bic proposition; and it is one which the
so.called Democratic papers cannot, and
dare not, discuss.
Let US be understood at the outset
We do not deny, that there are many en-.
lishtened foreigners among us, men who
are truly part of the people Of the South;
I men who have married among US and are
rearing families here: men who are inter.
ested in slavery; who are strong, true, re.
liable friends Of the Soulh and of her in.
s;itutons. We do not deny this; bat we
reply to it, that the foreigners who now
come, arrive in immense masses~--that
they organize distinct communities-~-that
they bring with them their national feel
ings and pre- udices-and that among
these is an ultra feeling of aboltionsm
and freesoilism. This cannot be denied.
In Kentucky Fremont, Freesoil Tick.
ct has been nominated, chiefly expecting
its support from Foreigners!
In Maryland Fremont Ticket mas
been nominated, and it, too, calculates
on its largest suppor, from Germans!
In Missouri, the foreign vote has elect.
ed Black Republican Democrat (BIair,)
to Congress; and the Fremont ticket in
that State will draw its main support
from Foreigners!
In New Orleans. German paper las
! dared to advocate the election Of Ere.
mont, while no native would dare such
an act.
In Colorado comfy, Texas, a negro
insurec'ion was recently discovered, and
which was melted by Foreigners!
In Alabama, recently, two foreigners
have been expelled by the citizens, for
talnperng with slaves.
In South Carolina, few weeks since.
two foreigners were expelled by the citi-
zens, Tor lncendlary acts among slaves.
The man who shuts his eyes to this
state Of facts, could not see house burn
ing down, if it were within fifty yards Of
him. The evidence is overwhelming and
no honest man can controvert it.
Now what guaranty does the Demo.
cratic party offer the South against the
inroads Of this foreign aboltionsm p
Does it acknowledge the evil and provide
a way for its removal or mitigation? By
no means!
By no means The Democratic party
in this particular, IS pledged emphatical.
ly aad perpetuaI!y against the South -
Get their Cincinnati platform and read
it--and learn that the Democracy of the
Union have made PERPETUAL COW
ENANT with FOREIGNERS, by which
no obstruction, by any modification of
the present Naturalization Laws, or 9th.
erwise, is to be placed in the way Of Iu.
MIGRATION. The Pledge is perpetual,
that Foreigners shall continue to come;
end under the operation Of the principle
of the Kansas act, they will continue to
flock here, aPpropriating our fresh lands
and excluding the South!
Men Of the South do you hear the
muttcrings of German thunder, on the
Western border of Texas? Do you ap
preciale the deaLliness Of freesoil blow
in that direction? Do you feel right when
you hear that scrvilc insurrection, in.
volving every Anglo, Saxon life in
whole county of Texas, was discovered !
only in time to ward Of blow directed |
by foreigners? In view Of THESE THINGS
how do yov feel when you tuln TO the
platform Of one of the great parties of
the country, and find that it is pledged
against all redemption-pledged now and
foreved-to encourage the migration hi,h.
er Of the countless hosts Of Europe's ig.
norant, ianatical. red republican popula.
tion
The Democratic pledge to the Foreign |
element is irreparable. 1t may have seal
ed the doom of the South. ..
