may note the language well--the insulting Ian
guAge which the infamous lying scoundrel uses
who know editing that filthy sheet. He gloats
over the murder Of freemen in Kansas, and now
taunis the republicans with the fact, which he
thinks he sees clearly, viz that after all the ini
quites his party has been guilty of in Kansas, in
Washington, and every where else, they are able,
through the thmbIe-rigging swindle Of Fill
more Know Nothingism to break the. !, force of
popular indignation aud cheat justice OF. its de-
serts-.-shat covered Ill over with infamy and
blood they see glimmering hope ofsuccess and
cannot forsgo announcing their discrimination
to carry out to the bloody and bitter end, the
conspiracy against freedom. 80 aaoa $50 f.s

The Inequality Of Rcpresentation that
Nlnvery HAS produced In the senate Of
tho United States.--The Yemeay.la asi
The white population ofthe free States, in
round numbers, is thirteen millions, according
to the last census. 2. SiW 8z7E 940tassa4 Z,
The population Of the slave States, in round
numbers 10 six millions aH
The census shows that while the proportion Of
white population at the North is generally gain.
ing, Il IL as generally losing at the South, except
in Virginia. The facts and figures on this sub
ject are the most stubborn things the Ruchan-
an party have to meet. ae.s,,pE1l sG.al
The present number Of members in the U. s.
Senate, is sixty-two. Were these members ap-
portioned according TO the white population, the
free States would have forty-fye, and the slave
States would have seventeen. s'i! tjiie aatiaa
But how is It in fact? Let every friend of
equal rights, and of . free government Of the
people, take notice and consider that the slave
States, while by just representation Of white
men entitled to less than onc.third, have nearly
one half of the Senator's, and the free States
have barely thirty-two. Three of the free States
alone have more white population than all of the
fifteen slave States together. The white popu-
lation of Pennsylvania, New York and Massa.
chusctts, outnumbers that of the whole South.
But in the Senate, in the making of all laws, in
the apportionment of Cabinet officers, Judges,
Governors of Territories, Postmasters, &C., &C.,
the slave States, with not SO much white popu-
lation have FIVE times as many votes as the free
States mentioned Call you this equality p
Florida, with less than quarter of the white pop
uation of our own happy State, has the same
number of votes in the Senate So Arkansas,
with one quarter of the white population Of Hi
nois, has the same voice in the Senate. .;f, :.
All this inequality is owing to Slavery, and
the consequent degradation Of labor and the de.
preston Of the laboring whites in the South.
The slave States cover 2ss, 900 more square
miles than the free States. They already have
the lions share oftcrritory. The average white
population on every square mile of the slave
States is only six and aquarter persons, while
in the free States 1t is twentyone and half per-
sons. In proportion to the territory they re-
spectively embrace, the free States have more
than three times the white population of the
slave States. As regards soil and climate, the
slave States as a whole are superior to the free
States. No adequate explanation, then, OF
their inferority in white population, can be CIV
en- but slavery. This explains it all. Without
slavery, many of them have every advantage
far SURPRISING the free States. But slavery
drives of thousands of their white population
annually to the free States. Slavery shuts out
the foreign emigration. Slavery produces no
6rst class States
The comparatively new states of Ohio and
Indiana already take rank before Virginia in
white population. Let this striking fact be
IA hat <ha
States already have, or are rapidly acquiring, a
large white population, the new Slave States
have but small white population, and give no
promise Of much increase in this respect Let
Wisconsin and Iowa be compared with Arkan-
sas and Florida. If Mr.. Buchanan is elected and
Kansas made Slave State, she will not have
half the white population that she would have
were she free.
The " equality of the Statess-by which is
meant in plain English that a Slave State is as
good as a Free State-is favorite phraseology
with the friends of Mr.. Buchanan. But no Lam
guage ever covered greater sophistry and error.
is used to gloss over the nefarious design Of
foisting in more Slave States, and extending pro- 4
perry representation in the House of Represen-
tatives, and the present inequality between Free
dom and Slavery in the Senate. OF this treach-
erous observation-disclosures to our theory of pop.
slar governmcnt--Mr. Buchanan is the chosen
leader and champion. It remains for the friends
Of equal rights to pass their negative upon it on
the Ath Of November, Let there be no more
Slave States, at least until the present ones are
filled up to an equal white population with the
other States or until the white population of the
Free States have as large area of territory, in
proportion 70 their numbers, as is now possessed
by Slavery. This will secure to Freedom mill
lion and halt more square miles of territory.
