The attempt to sell the Democracy fol. a
mess of pottage prepared by Southern
cooks, will prove failure. 1t smells un-
savory 10 men of Northern blood; We
| scorn the fare. But is the Democracy
sold? Aye, to work a deaih-blow TO the
cause of human liberty. Does any one of
an honest and intelligent mind doubt it
Look, here's the proof: Iquote Buchanan's
organ, the Richmond Enquirer, which
says: "We propose to introduce no more
slaves into the country, but by their dis
persion and diffusion over large space in
crease their value. And now the mess of
Southern pottage: The extension of Sla-
verv.greatly benefits the North by increas-
irg the field of commerce, keeping down
competition, and enlarging the market Tor
manufactures. twill enable the North to
contine herself to light, easy and indoor
acoyk and skilltm occupations schich pay
eceH while the slares are producing by
hard outdoor work, increased quantity of
grain and new material to exchange with
the North for her merchandise and manu-
f,ctures of all kinds. Thus, the increased
value of slaveswill be SHARED by the
North and South-the North no doubt
getting the larger share of potage, to
be sure. ........-, ,-.s TO-, =. fas .ii.a a
And then we shall do 'in-door work r'
Won't that BE- nices That is ''easy and
light" Don't the Southern dish begin to
taste pleasant? And to crown the whole
We are to take the senior Partners share !!
All, there is the bait! Ne at the North
worship the almighty dollar, and this will
catch all 'wlio are void of principle, and all
who are too much engaged TO search and
find the barbed hook which the bait con
ceals. The Enquirer has improved on
Cass' Nicholson letter, from which, no
doubt, he took the thought, and amplified
the subject. An able commentary on
Cass to Nicholson.
For further evidence let us quote the
same paper of another date-headed thus /:

very in the District of Columbia. -.t.

There, fellow Democrats, is n record kept
by his friends. How does it suit your
ears? Mine are sensitive. Listen while
YOU drag this Southern Car of Juggernaut
onward to the North; do you hear no
sound? Yes! l hear the shout for Blich-
anan, the high priest you would install
over. its horrid rights. But list again =
All, above the din and shout Of maddcned
devotees, a wall comes up of husbands torn
from the companions of their toll and woe
of wives, who never have been permitted
to act the part Of wives, d~agged from the
presence of weeping husbands-and then
nethinks l hear frantic scream when a
loved and loving daughter is snatchcd
away Just in the prime of womanhood, to
safe the hellish fires of lust in her demoni-
ac purchasers base heart--and as a.. inter
lude | hear the lash that is used to choke
the sounds Of more than mortal agony
and these confmingled in the bacchanalian
din.

pause? o, let the deity that presides at
such revel be worshipped in the "sunny
South" but let no temple here be raised to
spread her blighting curse. Can language
be too strong to.set the truth before the
world? Why, see the effect of a few les
sons of hardihood on all our so-called Dem
ocratic editors. Gray, of the Plain Dealer,
