y National Democrat is politician who
advocates. or acquiesces in the belief hat
our beautiful Union was formed, and tbs
federal constitution established, to protect
Southern white men in the right to pcrpetu-
ate and extend negro Slavery. He not only
believes that negro slavery is right, and that
seryitude is the normal condition of black
and curly haired men, but his views lead

ern white men are superior, or have superior
rights to Northern white mea, by virtue of
the constitution. lie will not only argue

white, which has nothing to d with the

constitution of the Union it is protected there,
against the Will of the people of the terrific
ries,or any law-inaking body whatever, not
excepting Congress. The fact, and an import
ant one 1t is, that Free labor and Slave labor
are antagonistic, and always viii be, has no
influence on a National Democrats views.
The fact that every inch of soil in the ma
tional territories on which slavery is planted
excludes Non thern free labor also has no effect.
