faeeA in strengthening that ruiuOus sys-
tenn, to say II the Slave Democracy have
h0t led It al their own way about long
enough! Whether freedom has not been
about enough eurtaiIed in It's share Of our
national ihheritance, and long enough sad
died with tie burdens Of nursing slavery,
to stop and reflect upou the question,
where Is this sevility to end? Let no
man deceive yOu--Libety cannot live on
air. Real Democracy must have some,
thing to sustain Il more substantial than a
KANE. ACTIONS speak louder than words;'
and parties, like churches may shave a
name To lice, while they are dead" A
church which does the DEVILS Work, can
not be q Christian Church. No more
either can q party which does the slave
holders work be a real Democrat party,
by whatever name il may be called. -
Whatsoever a man soweth, that also shall
be reap. So with party-if il sows to
Slavery, it shall reap oppr ssion, violence
and ruin; but lift sows to Liberty, it shall
reap harvest of national and individual
prosperity. Power, said jefferson, ''is al
WAYS stealing from the many to the few"
Never was this saying more fully e>empli-
fed, than 10 the downward progress of our
nation as depicted above. Look at the
tue progress Of Democracy from I776 to
1857, (only II years. mere second Of
time 10 the life Of a nation y but in that
short space we have sped from the Decla.
ration of independence to the bred Scott
decision journey which, if ever accom-
plished, by this favored people, should
have cost them the toll and travel of ages.
Under the lead of this Slave Democracy,
the Nation has apOstatized from its prima-
tive faith, the confession Of which, was
that: "ALL men are by nature created
equal, and endowed BY their Creator With
the isioliaea6ls right 10 life. liberty aud the
pursuits of happiness" and II has adopt
ed the worse than heather creed OF the
Dred Scott decision, that men of "African
lineage, have no riqhts Which vhite men
are bound 70 respect" and the doctriue
Of this decision is the faith of Prophet,
Priest aud President of Slave Democracy.
James Buchanan, and the doctrine of that
decision il that the Constitution of the
Unittd States, makes all the territories of
the United States Stare instead of free
territory. This is now, in this year of
grace, 1857, the confession OF Democratic
faith in the State OF Ohio; and throughout
the free as we'll as the Slave States.
In The Bible, God puts the momentous
question, aHath a nation changed its
Gods?" To which we may answer-'t
hath.' This nation has changed its faith.
and with il, has changed its God, The
slave Democracy now believe in a God |
who has not "endowed them with the in.
alienable rights ef life, liberty and the pur.
suit of happiness" but who has created |
tie strong TO oppress the weak-the cum
ming and knavisIl, to cheat and defraud the |
honest and unsuspecting. 1t believes in
"a God who delights, not in "doing iustl,
aud loving mercy" but in one who is the
patron of man-thieves, murderers and assas.
