The two leading Democratic papers in Ohio, the
Statesman of Columbus and the Inquirer Of Gin
cinnati, are now conducted by men "who have
been the owners Of slaves, and have proftcd by
the labor and sale Of black men," Whether they
are now slaye.uwners we are not informed. From
these imported apostles of slayeholding democ-
racy, stationed at the great central points Of in
inence in our State, our county Democratic papers
take their cue in regard to all that pertains to the
peculiar institution" Hence these papers sus-
tain Judge fancy, in legalizing Slavery in Ohio
defend the United States Marshals in kidnapping
our citize ms, black and white; apologize for mob law
in Kentucky ,fllibustcring in Central America, and
border-rufianism in Kansas and whatever else is
needful to be done to deceive the people ana thus
perpetuate the reign Of that despotism of which
they arc the natural allies, and by which they have
their power, Our past history would seem to give
evidence that We had pro-slavery of native growth
sufficient for all reasonable security to the
Shareholders, But in thoir extreme anxiety and
caution, they wisely leave nothing Eat loose ends.'
Hence we have among us apostles of slaveholding
democracy from Kentucky and louisiana to give
direction to the ignorance, prejudice and hatred of
the black man, the native growth of cur ow IL
soil.
The following from the Ohio State Journal, is
quito spirited for that staid and dignifed sheet.
1t is very careful, generally, to agitate q nicly. Is
there any danger that its violent opposition to the
slave democracy is leading it into abolitionism2
THE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES OF TIE
BUCHANAN PARTY OF OHIO"
The Buchanan central organ" and the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, both Of which organs are edited and
owned by lei who have owned slaves and
have profted by the labor and sale of
black men, are now daily at work to bring
the free people of Ohio back to the barbarism
incident to human slavery. They on all occasions
take sides with slavehuntors, and stigmatize the
freedom loving men of Ohio, who scOrn such work,
for the benefit of slaveowners in Kentucky, as
fanatics, disuniOnists and knaves. To read their
papers one would suppose that hunting runaw ay
''niggers" was not only a more Christian relax
alton than fox hunting, but one of the highest
constitutions privileges of a freeman.
The late disgraceful scenes enacted by the slave
hunters in Champaign county, whereby four white
men, free born citizens of Ohio, were arrested, be-
cause they refused to aid in running down, like q
wild best, a poor black man, whose only crime
was, that he preferred liberty to slavery, and help
send him back again to Kentucky from whence in
all human probability he would have had to
undergo the lash and the prison, and then be dis
pOScQ OF 10 some slave tThueT, CDalDou TO q come
and sent down the Mississippi, there to drag out
the remaining years of his life on a swamp plan
tation in Arkansas or Louisiana-for refusing to
join in such q chase, they were taken prisoners,
handcutfed and treated as felons, and these two
beautiful democratic" papers Iglory in it, and
are horror-stricken that the man hunters should
be interrupted in their work of political and
persC nal Generalization,
While these two organs of the pro-slavery party
are seeking to have vegeance meted out to free
men who disdained to soil their hands with catch
ing negroes, they are equally jubilant at the in.
izen of Ohio, by q pro-slavery mob at Covington.
Although they do not justify in direct terms the
assault upon Mr.. Jolliffe, it is very evident that
they are glad of it and no doubt if they had
been living at Covington at the time, and not en-
gagged in supplying slaveholding politics for the
freemen of Ohio, they would have taken part in
the melee and pehaps have supplied the cowhide
which the Christian Elder, Mr.. Gaines, was Sc
anxious to possess, in order to lacerate the body OF
the id A6olitionist."
We have also another exhibition of this Mis-.
sionary enterprise of the shareholders, of u more
national character, in the establishment of the
Southern Monitor, in Philadelphia, edited by j. b.
Jones, the former editor of the MadiSOniQn, the
organ of President Tyler's Administration By

dunn of communication between the slave masters
of the South and their commercial and political
friends and allies in the North. Whether its dis.
tinctive politics be Democratic or South American
we are unable to state from n perusal of the
number before us. But we are left in no manner Of
doubt Of its afinities in regard toslavery, The
} strength and perpetuity of that system it seek:
as its paramount object; and it will probably be
long to any party or no party, as this object can be
best secured. Although it does not fall into the
Democratic ranks, it has a proper appreciation Of
the value of the services that party has rendered
and is still rendering to slavery. 1t commends
the fidelity of tho Democratic press in the follow
ing grateful and patronizing strain:
IT is GRATEFUL TO DEMOCRATS.
W have no complaints to make of the North
ern Democratic Press. We are engaged will
them in the same field and purposes, for the same
end. 1t is only natural, however, that presses es
tablished by men born, reared, and educated il
the Northern section, should yield in a degree Il
the strong current of hostility to the the grea
social institutions of the South--this curren
having it's sources in the tastes and habits of mass
es of men who have never regarded the Negro
slave as he is in Virginia and the Carolinas, thu
happiest peasant in the world, but as they fancy
him to be, the miserable victim Of a tyrannica
master. 1t is, we confess, quite extraordinary
, they should have yielded SO little, in the midst o
the furious clanor of the immense numbers O
the 'higher law" opposition. So far from indinj
~captious fault with these editors of Northern
newspapers, We are, as citizens, grateful for thei
services, while we constantly admire their hero
