NORTHERN DEMOCRATS AS
SEEN BY soUTHERNERss

Southern politicians seem to properly appre
ciate the position of their political brethren ii
the North, as regards the aid they render il
carrying out the wishes of the slave propagan

too of their power to govern and control thu
party in this section for their own advantag,
in the future, as they have done in the past
We subjoin an extract or two by way of illus
t~ration:
Senator TooNBs, of Georgia, in a speech de
livered at Augusta, in that State, on the 9tl
inst, spoke in the following decided and truth

Democracy, and especially singled out the par

| Toombs:
In 1854 we overcame the prohibition exis

by coercion, and the Democratic party, with
some exceptions, stand up to the repeal Of the
Missouri prohibition, and for this Northern
Democrats had been denounced as slavery pro
pagandists, and some of the Northern Demo
cratic Senators had been stricken down for
their manly fidelity to a great principle in
standing by the South on that question. TIE

Nearly as many Wings and Democrats in 1850

that the Democratic party are demoralized.-
In the State of Ohio, with nearly $50 900 vo-
tiers, there was a majority of only 10000
against this principle, and 100000 Ohio Dem
ocTats are tonight battling IN the same cause

Next comes Senator BROWN, of Mississippi.
He well knows whereof he affirms when he OK
presses his confidence that Northern Democrat
ic leaders will again yield in graceful submits
sion to any demands their Southern masters
may make upon them. In a recent speech to
a portion of his constituents Mr.. Brown said
"The only hope of the Southern Democra-
cy is to make a fight in the Charleston Con
vention to go there determined to have their
views incorporated in the creed of the party.
or break up the concern in a row. hare no
doubt, as the South haze heretofore controlled the
party on all great questions, that the Northern
Frec-Sod element rW again yield IN grateful
submission. If they do not, why then apply
the torch to the great temple of Democracy,
and blow the concern to flinders. Rather than
see the party destroyed, the North which
doesn't care for principle, will allow anything
to be incorporated into the creed"
Mr.. JUSTICE, an American Representative
in Congress from Louisiana, following the ex-
ample of Senator Benjamin and others, joined
the Democratic party because of its regard for
the interests of slavery. In an address an
n~ouncing the change, he spoke in the following
decided terms of the motives that impelled him
to embrace Democracy. The latter clause of
the paragraph is as significant as it is truthful:
"In the Presidential contest, where the field
be occupied by the Republican and Dem
ocratic- forces marshaled in battle array, no
man can hesitate as to his place. No son of
can mistake his banner for whatev-
er error the Democratic party may have COM
mitted-and it has undoubtedly many to an
swer for-whatever Inconsistencies it may have
allen into, we must bear in mind that South

IN It's councils, and held its destinieS an

We could furnish any number of similar ex-
but the above will suffice for the pres
