The Democratic Greed.

The Minnesota Republican thus puneeDt.
lly and pointedly lays down the creed of
modern Democracy:
! I believe in the righteousness of Human,
Bondage.
i l believe it to be the duty of the Consres,
of the United States to extend Slavery Wber.
ever the American flag floats; and I believe
| this extension to be the glorious mission of
the blessed Democracy.
/ I believe that the error of Washington
when he pronounced the present philan-
thropic salvation of niggers, by holding
them in slavery, ga wrong" was only an
error of judgment and not of heart, and at
tributable to the meager advantages he
(Washington) enjoyed for intellectual cul-
ture.
l believe that Thomas Jefferson-the i'm
1 mortal author of the Declaration of Inde-
| pendenee-was the father and founder of
Democracy, and deserves our highest rev.
erence.
believe the Declaration of Independence
TO be sra self-evident ie'' and a 'tlissue of
glittering generalities.
believe that a negro has no rights that
white man is bound to respect.
/ / believe that father may sell his son in
to bondage, and his daughter for purposes
of prostitution, or that he may himself hold
his own son as a slave, and keep his daugh-
ter to crafty his lust; and that whoever re-
bels against this ''dispensation of Provi-
dence," is fanatic and niger -worshipper-
| / believe in the binding force of the di-
vine command to multiply and replenish;
the earth-that young niggers are proita-
bic crop, and that no questions should be
asked as to their paternity.
] believe that God is the father of all cre-
alton, niggers excepted, and that they de-
scended from Ham, and are cursed to the
end of time; that there ought to be, if there
is not, somewhere in the limits of spaee. a
Heaven for their use, if they are not per-
mitted, being ''things.'' to 90 to He'll at all,
or if the Pit should be too fun of Ablition-
lists to hold 'em.
I believe in st. Walker, the hero of Niicaf-'
aqua, and [ pray for his restoration to his
field of Christian usefulness.
believe In James Buchanan and endorse
his whole glorious career; when he made
anti-slavery speeches from the stump: when
he voted for the Wilmot Proyiso and "clung
, to the Missouri Compromise, and hoped it
would be adopted by Congress-" when he
repudiated the Missouri Compromise for the
great idea of Squatter Sovereignty, and
when he sacrificed this darling principle af-
J ter he discovered that its application would
be disastrous to our glorious Union,
I believe with the Supreme Court and the
illustrious statesman Taney, that niggers are
mixed-coiored cattle, and that they have no
rights except to be chained and whipped
: and raise cotton. I believe that the Consti-
r tuition makes the glorious provision for es-
tablishing Slavery everywhere in the Amer
lean Republic, and that white folks hayn't
any rights unless they own niggers.
believe in Stephen A. Douglas; that he
was right when he commended the Missouri
{ Compromise as a sacred compact cannon
lied in the hearts of the American people
as sacred thing, which no ruthless hand
would ever be reckless enough to disturb. ~
believe that he was right when he declared
t it to be unjust to the South, and ''inopera-
tive and void I believe he was right
when he broke it down, and put squatter SOW
ereignty in its place. l believe that he was
right when he abandoned squatter sovereign
ty and set up our blessed dogma of the old
en- time-the strong shall govern the weak
instead thereof.
/ believe In the rascality of the Black
Republicans, and the purity and sanctity OF
> our brethren, the Irish Catholics, all of our
political faith-in the dangers to be encoun-
1 tered in patronizing the hell-defyihg, beer
drinking Dutch who will not subscribe to
our creed.
believe in Democracy, with Douglas
: explanations and reservations; in the New
} Testament as expounded by enlightened
| Southern divines, especially in the chapter
treating of Onesimus and Paul; In the Con-
stitution as explained by Taney; in the
Higher Law, when subordinate to an act of
Congress; in the Brotherhood of Man, when
, there is no nigger in the case; in the final
triumph of Slavery. and its life everlasting
Amen.
In behalf of the Kanzas Democracy
whom we feel convinced will cheerfuIly sub
scribe to the above "articles of faith, We
beg leave to add the following II believe
that the qualifications for membership in the
: Democratic church are to be found in the
above articles, and that those only who have
killed an Abolitionist, burned Hotel, de-
stroyed a printing press, scalped man,
stolen Free State horses or committed rape,
are fit to be trusted with the responsible du-
ties and offices of that church, and for the
time when these qualifications shall be gen.
erally required, do most devoutiy pray.
