TO- But as Esan did Of old, we have those
among MS who despisc their birthright They
have been hunting for the spoils OF Office and
are unsuccessful; they are consequently faint
and like to die; and they exclaim "What profit
Is this birthright to usr Give us instead bread,
aud pottagc, and lentils, and let us eat and
drink at the public crib" We do not believe
the people will heed this request, they will make
no bargain nor compact in any way to cripple
this sacred. blood-bough, right of sclfgovern-
Inent They will neither sell it nor suffer it to
be sold; and when set of petty hucksters, who
trade In wooden nutmegs and such like " an
kee notions offer to trade, and swop, and bar
gain for the rights Of freemen that our magma
charta declares TO be unalicnable, the peo-
pic will tell them they have mistaken their yoca-
ton; to stick to their peddling propensties and
let our government alone, government they
have neither the genius 10 understand nor the
souls to appreciate.
That is 40, Mr.. Gazette. The only trouble is
you have not painted them half black enough.
They are enemies of their country, of human
liberty and Of their race They have confoun-
ded good and Evil, set up great lie and fallen
down and worshipcd It in the sight of the peo-
pie Loud in their professions of love for iiber-
ty, their hands are red with blood shed in the
spread Of slavery. While clamering for human
rights, they have violated every right secured
20 the people under the Constituton-while de-
claring that they are fighting for the inalienable
rights of the people of the territories to selfgov-
eminent, they are dragoonng the people OF one
of the territories into submission to a set OF
laws which they never made and which are in
violation of the bill ofrights and a disgrace to
civilized people. In short they are trading and
trafcng and selling the great birth right of free
dom. They have put it up against three and half
millions of slaves and formed joint stock spec
uaton-one party to deriveits profits from the
advance in the price of "nggers," and the other
from the spoils Of Office and public plumber.
And this internal speculation is dignifed with
the title Of "NArIoNALIrY!"
The principal parties to this Yankee specu-
lation arc Stephen Arnold Douglas and Franklin
Pierce on the one side and David Atchison and
b. +. Stringfellow on the other. Liking the spec
ulation James Buchanan has bought control
ling interest Of the original contracting parties
and hopes to realize something handsomein No
vcmbcr. But We agree perfectly with the Ga
aete that the people will not sanction or approve
the speculation or consent TO the loss OF their
blood.bought rights And their hatred Of the
measures will only be equaled by their detesta-
ton Of the men.
