playing such pranks is more than one
cen readily see, albeit he does see that
it stands with the apparent frmncss OF
the mountain. That such will always
be the case, however, there appears to
be some very reasonable doubt. TO
some of its varied beauties, as they ap-
pear from time to time, it may proper
enough to refer.
Our readers have noticed that one of
the champions of the Democracy, Gov.
Adams of s. CO. has lately advocated
the re-opening of the Slave Trade, which
the laws of this country have prohibited
and denounced as piracy. Yes, this re-
doubtable Democrat, "gocs in'' for steal
ing "niggers' from Africa, and many
other Democrats defend him in his re-
markable position. And their avowed
intention is to drive away all white la
borcrs and white mechanics, and fill their
places with negroes. I'VE call the atten-
ton of working men to this feature of
our modern Democracy.
The Richmond Enquirer, thigh Demo-
cratic authority,) lately denounced the
common school system, saying that the
most it teaches is reading and writing,
and that reading and writing is probably
"the worst means of acquiring know
ledge and WISDOM thus enunciating
in but a new form the propriety of keep
ing common people in that blissful state
of ignorance which makes them so easy
prey to southern locofocoism. We call
the attention of the laboring poor, one of
the highest aims of whom is to teach
their children "reading and writing"
to this feature of our modern Demo-
cracy.
The Legislature of the super-emi-
nently Democratic state of South Caro-
lima, at its late session, just adjourned.
passed an act to amend the State Con-
stitution so as to require that every ma
turalized citizen shall have a residence
of two years after having been natural
lied, before he shall have right to vote.
We call the attention Of all foreigners,
who are denouncing the American party
for advocating doctrines of kindred i'm
port, to this remarkable feature of our
modern Democracy.
Lately, companies Of capitalists in New
York and in New England, attracted by
the very low prices of good land in Vir-
ginia, have made large purchases there,
and have held out inducements to men
of little means to purchase small farms
there and enter upon an independent life
on their own soil. Among those thither
attracted by the advantages offered, have
been number Of foreigners, How we'll
these foreigners have been welcomed by
the Democracy of Virginia, will be shown
by the following remarks Of that high
Democratic authority, the aforesaid Rich
mond Enquirer -
THE energies Of our institutions are taxed
to resist the pressure of external aggression.
In bn inv md Va,
of this State, the security, and consequently
the value, of slave property. are well nigh de-
stroyed, by the depredations of Abolition
kidnappcrs. At the same time, We have rea-
son to suspect the Vaccinations of Yankee
emissaries in the bosom of this State, and to
apprchend some possible demonstration of
violence from our slaves. While all these
concurrent causes are operating with such cf-
feet to impair tho stability of our institutions
and our social security, shall we permit these
free labor" colonies to add another and a
stronger hostile influence to the power arraign-
ed against MS
The character of these immigrants opposes
an independent objection to their introduce
ton in the State. For The most part then are
political eulpr,ts, driven from Europe for their
revolutionary uiOience, and fresh from the m
fectious atmosphere of some criminal eolony.-
Facile instruments. indeed, of Anti. Slavery
Propagandism !ESome are ordinary offenders
against the security of life and property {:
others are soldiers, whom despotism dismisses
front its service-thc ragbonds of the earth in
the pay Of Abolitionism, and precipitatcd here
upon US to destroy the value of our property
and the security Of our inistitions.
THE impudence of this attempt on the
part of the Aboltionsts of New York and
Boston, to garrison Virginia with their janis
saries, and to pollute our soil with the presence
of their rabble Of pauycrs md criminals, pro-
vokes rebuke and retaliation. The danger
with which they threaten our institutions.
calls for the interference of the Legislature.
Now, to those remarks Of this leading
modern Democrat, we ask the attention
of all foreign born men. You are an
elegant set of ellews while you vote for
the locofocos and do nothing for your
selves. They will sing your praises to
the sky and .spalaver" around you with
all requisite effrontery and deceit; but if
you undertake tie settle among them on
land won by the wages of your industry,
then you are "political culprits," "vaga-
bonds of the earth,' 'srabble of pau
pers and criminals Did ever any mas
