BORDER Rumans.'

The Richmond (va.) Enquirer. in
one Of its spasmodic appeals to the
slaveholding interest to send cmigrants
to Kansas, says:
"Thc border rutiian.' the farmer Of
the far South and West. is the noJest
Type of mankind In his person is
revived all the chIvalry and generosity
Of the knights Of the middle ages
He Is equally noble. but far more use-
ful. He isfhe pioneer Of a high and
honorable civilization. He Is planting
a master race-men like the Greeks
and Romans-on new soil; not buy
ing whitemcn up at the shambles to
remove them from Slavery to capitalin
Boston, to make them, in a few gene
rations. slaves to capital in Kansas.
In a few generations the subsistence
and stratiiication Of society takes
place, and then, like European peas
ants, one set Of men become (worse
than slavcs) the mere bondsmen OF
capital or property. A thousand men
are killed by lightning where one Eng
lish Agricultural peasant rises above
the condition Of his ancestry. So,
without siapss, oia IL BE- IN Kansas. =
White men must clean The streets,
work the roads, stand behind the chairs
Of gentlemen at table, brush their
clothes, black their boots, and hold
their horses! To this condition all
free society soon comes"
This eulogy on the border ruilian'
has the merit Of novelty:--and so has
the accompanying eulcgy on Slavery
over free society. Both show the in.
evi,able tendency Of the slaveholding
sentiment, and indicate the issue tina,
must sooner or later be made upon
this subject. II the Enquireris right,
--if civilization demands that the Ia.
boring classes shall be slaves il the
condition Of things at the South is re-
ally so superior to the "free society
OF the Northern tates,--then that
condition should be made universal
No solitary reason can be urged for
extending Slavery into Kansas, which
would not have equal weight in favor
Of reducing to Slavery the laboring
classes in every Northern State.

On the Slavery question Mr. Buch-
anan has mnde party expedicncy his
higher law. He came into Congress
after the Missouri controversy was
adopted, but, in 1920. as the legisla-
ture Of Pennsylvania unanimously
passed resolutions against the admis-
sion Of Missouri with Slavery. il ia GER
tain that he warmly approved Of its
exclusion from the remaining territory
OF the Northwest. In 1917 he wrote
and published an eloquent commenda-
ton Of that act OF settlement. The
author Of his biography quotes that
Enforcement and jusliGes il. Mr..
buchanan has not been in the country
since the repeal Of that measure vas
proposed. but rumofs have been circn-
lated upon respectable authority. and
they have never been conradicted,
that he has openly, and in writing,
expressed his disapproyal Of the pro-
ceeding, and deprecated the reopening
OF the Slavery agitation occasioned by
Il. The Washington Union, while
under the charge OF Mr.. Buohanan's
personal friend, did not deny it. though
atteaiion was more than once called to
il, but now that the personal friend
has withdrawn from the official organ,
that print regards the exposition OF
Mr.. Buchanan's views ON Slavery, as
given in the biography, with suspicion.
We need hardly say that Mr.. Buch-
anan will be required to place himself
upon aPro- Slavery and Anti-Missouri
Compromise platform, or be will not
be permitted TO enter the Cincinnati
Convention. No doubts will be toler-
ated on this head. aud it is probable
that he will take early occasion to re-

The Iowa Mania.

Never were greater mistakes made
than by some who are entering lands
in Iowa on speculation. We saw, a,
Indianapolis. citizen Of Iowa, who
informed us that an agent" who had
recently entered 10000 acres at one
time. did il without having seen the
land. and more than half Of il was
swamp lands, not worth more than
ten cents per acre. II some who
have sent their money to Iowa don'i
regret it when tax paying comes, we
miss our guess. Those who have first
selected their lands and then entered
them. and gone to them will do well,
but these are not one in ten Of those
who have invested money in lows

Is the Old Line Party a Pro-slavery
Party +?


The New York Day Book, the or,
gan OF the "old line" party in New
York city, in an article OF April 18th
says:
We repeat. slavery" negro slave,
ry, and negro slavery extension. is the
sole question before the country, and
to be determined in the approaching
Presidential election, and as Mr. SEN
ator Seward. above all other public
men of the day, embodies the opposi-
ton to this slavery extension, the
democracy. If opposed TO il in com
mon with Mr.. Seward, should at once
make him President; and the Boston
Post. IL opposed to this extension OF
slavery, should join heart and hand
in placing the man above all others
truly embodying that opposition, in
the Presidential chair. for the good
and substantial reason that the oppo-
sition would be most effective when
thus represented. But the democra.
cy are not opposed to slavery extern
sion. or that which ignorance and de-
fusion term slavery extension, and
the time is at hand when those VIII o
assume to speak for 1t must under
stand what they ale doing in this mat
ter. or they had better hold their
tongues, aye, had better cut out their
tongues thousand times over rather
than thus help to mystify and bewil-
der. and indeed debauch the common
sense Of the people.
Now. what is the position Of the
northern democracy? Are they so
ignorant, SO stulti6ed by lies, by per-
