we cannot. But the music Of this argument
is, that as FAR as we have heard il, 1t olpays

pose Of speculation. lf one has twenty-five
dollars due him annually, for the use of one

raise this amount Of money. he viii probably
be smart enough also to find home at once

musical portion Of the above ar-ument-that
in which the music becomes exceedingly en-

this mixture. Great Britain would neither
prohibit the importation of slaves into her col
onies nor permit the people Of the colonies to
do it. Our government to-day occupies pre-
cisely the same position towards sthe terrific
ries Of the United States, When ip the Senate
gof the United States, a Senator from Ohio
moved an amendment TO the Nebraska Bill,
that thespeople of the territory might have the
liberty in the! territorial legislation, to ex-
clude.slavery. il was promptly voted down BY
the so called democracy. Who have been the
enemies Of the South? And who are now
the enemies OF the people III orr territories !?
At the South to- day, nearly four millions OF
'laborer. are bought and sold or feld as prop
erty, ike other articles Of .merchandise. The
necessary effect Of this. is that lahorer is look
ed down upon and labor is regarded with con-
tempt BY all others. The watchword OF Democ-
racy used TO be protection TO the laborer agains,
the captalist - lte-day lit is sPopS'ar Sover-
-eignty." which means nothing else than the
CONSTITUTIONAL right of the capitalist to buy
and sell the laborer and treat him to all in'ents

or merchandise. soi '@33nsafa 81

all laborers would be emancipated from state
Of Slavery, knowing that when this was done,
the white being so much superior to the
black laSorer, would supplant him entirely,
as he has actually done IN the Free States. -
But in our day, when T. P. Blair, Of Miss pnri.
and others undertake to do the same thing, they
are cried down as enemies tn the South, by
such men as Rufus Choate and Caleb Cushing,
the Attornies Of princely merchants in onr
Eastern cities. who have liens and mortgages
on whole plantations with laborers on them
and care as little for the permanent wealth and
prosperity of the South as non-residents usu-
ally do, or perhaps as little as any common
speculator does, Concerning the source from
which bis money comes, or the manner in
which it is obtained.
