e. The people Of California are agitating
the question Of calling convention 70 amend
tho constitution Of that State, and il 10 sAid
that il will reAuit in dividing the State into
tWo or three States. The Philadsly shia North
American assigns - . reason that II siil
double or treble the ofRces, and hence oil the
greedy politicians are IN favor Of It. Bethis
- il may, the territory u amply sulhclsnt TO
make two or even three States, while IL
population, constantly incrsssing, and the
vast wealth Of that region, will justify the
division. II divided, there can be but little
doubt that the most southern State will b. .
slave State. It 10 filled up with emigrAnks
from the South, or conservative mea from
the North, who can see the vast benefits thst
will accrue to thu aggregate wealth OF the
State BY the introduction of African slavery,
TO work the rich mines and cultivate the fer
tile soil.-(Ss. Louis Leader.
We call attention to the last sentence In
the above article, and We ask our working
men to reflect upon its meaning. What 10
the effect 0f the ''intrOduction Of African
slavery to work the rich mines and cultivate
the fertile soil2" Does not every slave in
troduced into the rich mines aud fertile fclds
OF California exclude white man? Does
IL not bring the labor Of slaves in direct COM
petition with that OF free white men2 And
this is what rejoicssh the hearts Of the edi.
tors Of paper protesting to be Democratic.
They desire to exclude the white lsborors, Of
whose rights tho Democratic party has az
ways professed 10 be the guardian, IN order
to plant slave labor in the mines and fertile
sod Of California, and to sabjset those whits
men, who are not absolutely excluded, TO the
degrading contact and competition Of negro
slaves. IL mot this . new phase Of Dsmoo-
racyf The laboring men, who compose the
vast majority Of Democratic voters, should
be truly grateful to this defender OF their
principles and fightsi-( st. Louis Dem.
