THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

the masters of the State, we find that the represen-
tation in many of the southern states is apportion.
ed ON the black basis. The counties with n great
number Of negroes and n fow whites, have in this
state a majority of the Legislature, and can con.
troll that portion Of the state having a much great
err number &C whites aud fewer slaves. Eastern
Virginia, with its multitudcs Of slaves and few
whites, has "a control in the Legislature over the
larger white population west OF the mountains and
its fewer slaves. In South Carolina the sway of
the masters in the Legislature over the whites is
made still more absolute: for, besides basing rep
rescntation upon black population, the Constitu-
ton makes the ownership Of ten slaves a qualifca-
ZION for Il seat in the Legislature, or an equivalent
in freehold estate. And it takes away the choice
of the Presidential electors altogether from the
people, and gives it to this slaye.holding assembly.
This is the system which the Richmond press
now urges on, to establish a principle that will JUS
tify the actual cnslavement of the dependent class
Of the free white population. Ihisis not my state

lowed representation in Congress to the owners OF
slaves in the South for three-flths Of that species
of population, in consideration that all the terri
tories of the United States should be reserved ex-
clusively for free labor. The ordinance OF 1877,
making this reservation, was before Congress at
the same moment that the constitution was under
debate in the convention, and these mutual conces-
sions, resigning the territories to free labor on one
side, and granting an increased representation to
slavc-owners on the other, constituted one of the
compromises which became necessary to establish
the government Of the Union.

The great democratic speech of the Hon. Mr.,

ton Of Cuba. loud and enthusiastic cbecrs.)

earth may thunder in vain. loud cheers.) Yes,
controlling the commerce of the East, through tho
greater enterprise and commercial spirit of our pom

party can and will take it. (Cheers)'
This proves that the Ostend manifesto of Mr..
Buchanan. of Wrestling Cuba from Spain, if we
have the power is a living principle among the
democracy of the South. This is the democratic
plan, then-frst Kansas at the point of the bsyo-

about an hour after we parted from Lanes

some object in the grass, which we supposed to be
game of some kind. 1t was about one hundred
yards from US on the prairie. One of the boys

at it. IL the mean time it seemed to spread its
tail, and no one doubted it was a wild turkey, but
as it continued to rise one of tho boys cried out,

THE DECLARATION OF AMERICAN INDIE
PENDENCE ~REPUDIATED BY THEB q
CHAMBERS.

Since the Republican platform was laid at Phila-
del?hia, made up largely, as it is, from the decla-
ration OF lndepen dence, tie BUCCANEERS have
made a dead set at that instrument, determined,
apparently, to have it erased from tAe hearts, if not
from the history, OF the American people.
Rufus Choate, in his letter t. the Buchanan al
lies in Maine, the other day, spoke of the Decla-
ration Of Independence as a string of 'glittering
generalities.' Old John Petit, of Indiana, has
said, the self-eyident truths in the Declaration
were nothing but seifevident lies and now we
find John G. Breckenridge, the candidate of the
BUCCANEERS for Nice-Fresident, expressing himself
with equal or even greater freedom in regard to its
dangerous heresies. AT n speech delivered in
Butler county, Ohio, a week or two since, he thus
repudiatcd the glorious truths Of the Declaration
of independence, to sustain which the republicans
Of l7I5 pledged their lives and fortunes, and
their sacred honor"
1--WE are told that the Declaration of Independ-
ence is embodied in the Constitution of the United
States Tile Declaration as ar abstraction. Put
1t in the Constitution, and what would follow? It
would follow that the Constitution must protect
every man in his right to life liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness \ X
You would find it interfering with the institutions
to destruction. But why do | speculate upon what
it would do? Long before this our Union would
be oblitcrdted forever. 1t would beoome as intol-
cradle and hateful, as its past has been benifcent
and glorious"
The less Mr.. Breckenridge and his confederates
think of that instrument, the more the peopls of
the North are disposed to prize it.-Nep York

Sd. Consequently the Western Anti-Slavery
Society invite .he people of Ohio to sin: to wade
through Immortality to reach a fancied good. And
consequently they are inconsistent claiming us they
do that you must never do evil that good may
come"
These propositions, may make out a case of in
consistency against Garrisonians, but we cauno
perceive the force of the logic. The DisunioniSt
have no hand in electing the Legislature, even &C
cording to these propositions. They find the Gov
eminent IN existence and it will exist in spite 0
them. They only ask it to do good and not evil
This is no recognition of the rightfulness of til
government. 1t is not doing evil that good ma,
