sEETLV on rHE VIRGINIA ELEoTIoNs-
mefoTowing with reference to the the Viz
ginia elections nay serve TO show what the
worst enemy OF slavery thinks Of the Demo
cratic party in connection with that great in
terest:
No matter AHA. Mr.. Letcher or any other
Democrat NAV have truly and wisely said or
done at some time or other In depreciation n
slavery as the curse and blight Of the South,
the Democratic party Of the Union Is, and sill
be. the Pro-S'avery party Of the Union,
alike ia Virginia and Vermont, IN Texas and
Kansas-whafevsr il may profess and wher-
ever Il nav eyist-and because II is the Pro-
Slavery party it VIII rule Virginia and Texas
50 long as the Pro-Siavey sentiment shall
really and heartily predominate thereiu-as
Mr.. Goggin viii ind 70 his cost whenever The
votes for Governor Of Southampton and Bruns-
wick, Of Mecklenburg and Greenville, and all
the essentially pro-Slavery, slave-breeding
~couutirs IN Virginia shall have been counted.
Mr.. Goggin is a worthy, able man but he
won't be Governor Of Virginia, simply because
It is the Interest Of slavery that be should not
Be
P~Ro-sLAyERy MEN SHOULD ACT WITH The
DEMOCRACY.
am often reminded Of an incident that &C.
CURED in 1852, on the very eve Of he Presiden-
tial election Of hat year. met a young man
whom I had formerly known rs a very ardent
Wing, and whom ! therefore presumed to be
still such. We wings were supporting for
President Gen. Winfield Scott against Gen.
franklin Pierce; and our wise leaders, TO Sc
cure Gen. Scots election, had placed US on a
aCompromisr (, oUuior :. HC0nservative" plat
form. denreciaiing agitation, . and "aequies-
cling" most emphatieally IN tie Fugitive slave
law and its adiunets- OF course, Il was
fairly 70 be presumed that Pro-Slavery Union
Wings would support the Wing candidates out
% regard sor the new Wing platform, II for nc
other reason. But they did Just The opposite
Of fhis-thev secretly conspired against and
stabbed The ticket. 90 that Gen. Scott received
I tha votes of only four States IN the Union, none
of them q the first order. But / was fighting
the battle Ia ignorance Of this treachery, and
doin al ] knew how 20 win It, in spite Of the
detestable platform. So / spoke 20 my young
friend Of fornrr wears about the election i'm
pending, and was puzzled by the eoldness OF
his answer. So / spoke again, and was again
answered evasively.
Again / spoke, and 50 pointedly, that he was
constrained to respond al an not goirg TO
vote this year as / formerly did, "Why
no Pr was ny astoHished r~eloiDder- " Be-
j cause I nave NEFM NDMN 0NAA 1IANN 4 AnNA saw
YOU. and don't think slavery the evil and
wrong ! then did" There was a reason FOR
no voting for the National Union Compromise
Whis candidate for President that brushed
aside an misleading rubbish, and went right
to the core Of the matter. Ny friend had
ceased to be ani-slavery he had become pro
slavery, and he realized thai he ought, conse-
uuentiv, 70 stop voting the Wing and commence
/ voting b. Drmocratic ticket-as. like IN hon
est man, he was about 10 do, ell manner q
Whig COMPROMISE Platforms, and o,her moon
shine 20 The contrary notwithstanding. In this
he was clearly right, except that his asserted
change Of views respecting slavery was abom-
insbly wrong. But. having become pro
slavery, e was ht that he should vote the p-o-
slavery ticket, and thus become what in Kan
sas Il has become necessary to style a Free
State Democrat"
THE HoRTHEkx DEMOCRATS ~ FAVOR OF
SLAVERY.
New YORK city is to-day Democratic, simply
because she is prO-slaveD. Il is the presumed
interest Of her merchants and other business
men 70 stand well with the s,sveholders-so q
great majority If them shape their Polides &C.
eordingly. We have three daily journals print
ed IN our language which advocate more Of
less earnestly, National Democracy, aad each
Of these jusHhes and upholds the perpetual
slavery Of the black race as humane, beneh-
cent. andin accordance with the eternal fitness
Of things. Each Of them viii, Of course,
learn with pleasure, and proclaim with exulta-
ton, that Kansas is in danger Of falling into
the power Of her Free State Democracy.
The ORIGIN X OBJECTS OF the REPUBLI-
CAN FAHTY-GREELET's vIEws OF FoFuLAE
2 SOVEREIGNTY.
The decay and dissolution Of the Wing and
the utter prostitution OF the Democratic party
Of the nation to he basest uses Of slavery, has
left the more human, rejecting, conscientious
{ members of both those parties no other re-
. course but 10 break loose from old party
? trammels, 70 spurn the acquisitions OF heridi-
tsry partisanship. and 20 form ? new party
whose w1tchword should be, Freedom Nation
al: Slavery Sectional whose guiding
? pole star should Be the confinement Of Amsri-
can bondage within the limits o. the sovereign
States which have seen 1T 10 establish and still
see TT 10 main ain that balsful Institution. And
thus in the autumn Of 1854, while the pioneer
company sent ont from Massachusetts, BY thl
Emigrant Aid Society wac laying at Lawrenc,
the foundations Of what was hoped and des-
7 tined to prove the rallying point and citade
Of the Free Labor movement in Kansas, State
CONVEX. ions in New York. in Ohio, in Indiana
and probably some other States, were giving
form and body 10 that popular uprising
I throughout the Free States which was soon e
I be known as the Republican party. Thal
J party and Free kansas have thus a commo
] origin in the indignation, the alarm, the stern
, resolve excited throughout the Free States bl
the passage cf the Nebraska bill.
J That tire Republican party has hit1erie been
faithful to its lofty mission, its generous pur-
, pose. is evidenced BY the fact that we are hero
assembled in giadness and proud security TO
