This Constitution and Democracy,
which even onc year aG,> was undcr-
stood to affirm and secure the right Of
white men to self government, are
now interpreted to II AN engines fo1
disfranchisinG tie ini. lbitauts Of a
State and compelling tlem to submit
to laws made for their benefit bY the
people Of oti1er sovegeigntics. Fifty
years ago Democracy meant {: the
sovereignty Of fi1e uasceS,; bat uJw
Democratic leaders vrccIajrn that
" small 1isted farmers aad greasy me-
chanics - are Tot fl to associate with
. gentleman's body servant, that
<' condition does not >lepend upon
coIor,' bat that slavery is bes: for
the working classes.
The men tolding and publicly pro-
clainining these sentiments are ho-
rorcd leaders in the Democratic
party, and we can see 10 reason
to doubt that the Ultimate object
of tiatparty is to ensIavc the poor and
Ignorant. Condition does not now
depend Or color, for there are
thousands ef white people held in
slavery in our Southern States, and
there are hundreds Of black men
owning s|aTcS, many of them wI,it2r
chan their owner. There is little
now. 10 prevent, in an Of Gu: South
ern States, the ens,aveMnnt Of the
poor and Ecienttiess of whatever co!or,
as is proved by the fact that twelve
years ago slave woman sued Tor her
freedom in a Louisiana. Cour: and sue
ceeded in proving that she was bora
in Germany and e;uiorated, when
quite young, to Naw Orleans with her
parents. They died, leaving her q
Icieudic77 orphan, and some Gend,
under t|le 9u:se OF humanity, took
her home, s;vated4er a. slave. and
sold her when still! child. >'j1e re-
