had been absent from the country, and, as
Douglas said, was unfamiliar with the posi-.
ton and principles Of political parties in this
country. He was Northern man, and was
represented as q friend of squatter sover-
eighty and free Kansas. He Was elected,
and proved his ignorance Of the feelings and
principles of his own countrymen and his
utter subscrviency to the Shareholders by
every act OF his Administration.
The Democracy Of Iowa follow with blind
fidelity the example of the National Democ-
racy. and nominate Dodge for Governor be-
cause he is utterly ignorant Of Iowa affairs,

cause they expect to unite under his lead the

The slave Markets, Home ana ror-


Hon. John J. McRae, Democratic member
OF Congress from Mississippi, is in for the
revival Of the Slave Trade, and expresses
himself thus:
believe the South needs more labor. l
am therefore in favor Of re-epening the trade
in slaves with Africa. / sec no differences
morally, socially, or politically, in buying q
slave IN Africa, the original source Of our
suppiy, and buying one in our home markets
OF our slave-breeding States. In this, YOUR
self and others in the South will differ from
me. But this is question for the people in
the States to decide, when they have control
OF it free from Federal restraints. Are
you willing to give them the opportunity to
decide i by freeing them from these re-
straintsp
John j. McRae is no fool, OF our own per-
sonal knowledge, and now We should like to
have some brother Democrat Of his expound
"ths moral, social and political difference
between buying slaves in the Home, rather
than in the Foreign market.
"Buy where you can buy cheapest" is a
Democratic maxim in encouragement Of for
eign trade, and it is notorious that slaves
are much cheaper in the foreign than in the
home market. Besides, according to Dodge,
Slavery is Cbristianizing and civiizing
process Tor negroes, while it yields great ad
vantsges in an economical point Of view to
the whites. We should like to see some
Northern Democrat meet McRae's position
on Democratic principles.
utupon theprincirle propounded in these
words BY the Cincinnati Enquirer, which is
substantially the Douglas Democratic senti
ment of the country, we cannot possibly see
how Mr.. McRea's conclusion is to be avoid.
ed. Tha. sentiment is, to give the matter in
full, as follows:
1t appears the people of Kansas want free
labor. Very well, they have a right to IT,
IL they wanted slave labor, and thought it
best, We would be equally as well pleased
with their action. Slavery is q question of
dollars and cents, and is regulated by climate
and production where il suite and the peo-
pie desire to have it, we are for their having
it, and vice versa. They should in eli cases
be the judges in the premises.
Thus, according to Democracy--sven of
the real patent squaster sovereignty pattern
Slavery is . mere question Of dollars and
cents, and not one of moral wrong or of So
cial and political evil. Wherever it suits the
people to reduce portion Of their fellow.
men to Slavery, the Enquirer 10 in favor OF
it, and the squatter sovereignty dogma
amounts to that and nothing more.

Hercsy IN Ohis.

The Democracy Of Ohio, says the Oinein-
natl Commercial, have suddenly come 70 b
greatly interested in slave auctions. They
dsplore them with hesrtiness that thsy may
have some difficulty in explaining to their
brethren OF the cotton States. The Logan
county Gazette has published poem on the
subject which is very pathetic, and it 10 hav-
ing run through the Democratic press OF
the State. We quote stanza or two:
Here IL little Laura-
Very fair indeed
Eyes Of liquid assure
Who will give bid
Start her ct q thonsand-
Very cheap you see

Here's pickininny-
Susan's only child:
Never mind her weeping,
She'll be reconciled
When the brat is taken
Grom her far away
Going Going Going!

With the lettering walk,
Whip her briskly, overseer
Make her mount the block;
Sucked all my children
Very frail and old
Worn out, weak and worthless

Not 80 Harm o nj Gus In Illinois.
The postmasters OF Illinois have been on
duty for some weeks past increasing the cir
culation Of the Herald. which is the Buchan-
an organ in that city. To this course Of the
Herold the Times, Douglas organ, objects !;
whereupon the Herald man defends and car
ries the war into Africa after the following
cutting and slashing style calculated to set .
bleeding again the half-healed wounds of the
Little Giant and his prescribed friends
We hope Shallcross may succeed in obtain
ing all the information possible, though We
cannot exactly see what all this has to do
with the Postmaster's discharge Of his duty
to the public and the Department. We oan-
not understand Why it 10 more criminal for .
man or public of6csr to contribute toward
the establishment OF the Herald, than to the
Chicago Times, which, when established, re-
ceived ten times 40 much in this way as the
Herald. When the Times was established,
every Postmaster and route agent in Illinois
was black mailed for contributions. Aman's
Democracy was rated by Mr.. Douglas &C
cording 70 the extent Of his contribution to
the Times fund, and every official who re-
iuucu VI i0iicu w POus uPs WIS uuceTe-
moniously decapitated by request Of Mr..
Douglas, who then controlled the federal ap

and hundreds Of cases might be cited Of 70.
movals from Office in consequence Of non.
attention to this private manifesto Of that
extremely diminutive "giant." But, now,
the rule 10 reversed. Now, Mr.. Douglas
thinks that Office holders who contribute to-
ward establishing paper to defend the Ad.
ministration and themseIues, ought to be re.
moved. The men whom he, in the Senate

his organ, the Times, has repeatedly branded
as villains and vsggbonds, have no right, hs
thinks, to contribute to the establishment OF
a journal to defend them against such foul
and false aspersions, but, rather, because
they choose thus to defend themselves, they
ought to be removed from Office. Such il
the present doctrine of Mr.. Douglas, and
such seems to be the doctrine of Shsllcross
who has spent the last ten days in prying in.
to the affairs Of the Herald Office.

0Tkansas committed her greatest error,
when she returned a majority Of Republi-
cans to the Convention to form Constitu-
ton.
So says the Locofooo Chicago Times
Had Kansas elected majority ofpro.slavery
Locofocos to frame Constitution to suit the
slaveholders, the D Democracy would have been
perfectly content. Gen. Dodge's sympathies
in favor Of q slave State would have been
satisfied and the original design of the Kan
sas- Nebraska bill would have been accom-
plished.
No wonder the Democracy regard it as a
great error in the people Of Kansas thus to
defeat the purposes Of the Slaveocracy and
wound the sensitive sympathies of their can
ddate for Governor of Iowa. But the peo-
pie of Kansas have been stiff-necked race,
and would not yield to the threats or bland
ishments Of the Administration nor of the
Democratic leaders. Border Rufhan violence
and fraud, the army Of the Government, the
bribery of the Administration, and the tyr
amy and corruption Of the Executive officers
and the Judges of Kansas, have all been
combined in vain to "subdue" their love of
freedom.
