Democracy Of Missouri had the power they

institutions. They are more intolerant to.
day, wherever they have-the power, than
ever the Know Nothings were. They pre-.
tend to be in favor of Popular Sovereign
ty that they may the more certainly con-
eeal their traitorous designs upon our free
institutions, and make all poor white men
hewers of wood and drawers of water, il
not veritable slaves. Pm all the slave
States the rich get richer and the poor
poorer, and that is the reason they want to
spread the cursed institution.
Here is an example of the light in which
free society is viewed by Democrats; and
mark that the writer says thinking men
{ Democratic leaders among you propose
to subvert and reconstruct it, He OF
course speaks from the book and knows
whereof he affirms. We quote from lead
ing Southern Democratic paper, the Rich
mond Enquirer:
Repeatedly have we asked the North.
Has not the experiment of universal lib
erty failed? Are not the evils, of free soci-
ETY. insuferable? And do not most think
ing men among you propose to subvert
and reconstruct ito Still no answer
This gloomy silence is another conclusive
evidence we have furnished, that free soci-
ETY. III the long run is an impracticable form
OF society; 1t Is every where starving de-
morallzlHg and insurrectionary.
1--WE repeat then, that policy and hu-
manity alike forbid the extension of the
evils OF free society to new people and COM
ing generations.
Two opposite and conflicting forms of
society cannot, among civilized men, CO.
exist and endure The one must give way
and cease to exist. The other become uni
versal
IF free society be unnatural, immoral,
unchristian, it must fall and give way to
slave society--a social system old as the
world, universal as man."
Laboring men, native as well as adopt
ed, cannot fail to see that the object of the
pro-slavery oligarchy in the South is first
to stigmatise and degrade them by placing
them below the level of niggers, and then
enslave them. The same feeling exists to
an alarming extent among the leaders OF
the same party in this State, and is grow
ing and strengthening every day. 1t is to
be seen in their daily actions. Except a
bout election times poor laboring man
is passed unnoticed by them in the street,
and the wives and children of the poor are
never allowed to associate with theirs on
any terms; and as to asking them to their
parties, or making equals of them in any
sense, however intelligent or meritorious,
II Is never thought Of Such is the party
many OF the poor laboring men of the
country support in opposition to their own
dearest rights AMI interests. Is it possible
that they do not or cannot see the dangers
that environ them?
But here is another extract which all la
boring men should read. We find it in the
Chicago Times, Democratic sheet, and is
published in order to prove that niger
slaves of the South are :. .hAitsr off, than
the poor white people of the North" 1t
is part of an account Of a nigger carnival
which Col. Scott permitted his negroes to
hold on the Fourth of July last, on his
farm, near Auburn, Ga.
after dinner was over, Burrell, an invi-
ted guest, came forward at the solicitation
of the crowd, and made very sensible
talk. We were pleased with his idea of
slavery. He thought he was much better
off than either the free negroes or the poor
white people of the North, &c., &C."
Will you, laboring men, tamely submit
to the degradation and insult of being
classed with niggers? When such arti-
cles as the above are approvingly publish
ed by Democratic papers in the free States
it affords unmistakable proofthat the senti-
ment that 'niggers in the South are better
off than the rail road Irish, or the poor
white people of the North" has already
obtained deep root among the leading
men of that party; and if believed to be
true, the proposition that slavery is tn,
normal and proper condition of all men,
white or black, who have to support
themselves by their daily labor, naturally
follows; and will, of course, be advocated
By them as humane measure.
