SLAVERY IN THE Free STATEs.-Com-
menting upon The recent extraordinary ar
ticle in the Administration organ respect
ing the intention of the Democratic party
to force slavery into the Free States as it
already has done in the Territories, the
Washington Republican says:
The labored length of this jesuitical ed
%itorial, brilnful as it is Of the rankest tory
ism and amoral treason demonstrates il
to he an indirect emanation from the Pres.
ident to the. Cabinet; and W. shall not b.
in the least surprised if it urn out to be a
foreshadowidg of the Message. The par
tial endorsement of the Silliman letter by
the Northern people, to be inferred from
the result of the late elections, has embold-
lened the Pre- ident to take another steI
forward in the work Of Africanizipg the
continent.
