here and there member Of Congress. At
the recent elections tvo Senators and proba-
bly, two members Of Congress--all that were
in issue-have received verdict Of dismis-
sal from the service Of tho people. So FAR
~ the people Of the North have had chance
to exercise their sovereign viii, they have de-
clared emphstically in favor Of freedom, and
replaced doughfaoe Democrats by staunch
Republicans. But notwithstanding the great

of6ceholders Of the Federal Government APP
pointed and set over 10, are taken from .
minority Of the people The Slave oil
garchy, through their subscrvient champion
President Buchanan, still insults and rules
the North By appointing its own instruments
to all oi6oes Of trust and power under the
Federal Government. Thus il the North
governed by the shareholders to-day, by the
aid Of feeble, trucking and time-serving
minority in our midst, just ~ in the times
that preceded the Revolution, the English
monarch exercised his tyrannioal power over
the Colonies through the active aid Of like
ONCE seeking minority. The servitors Of
the British Grown were in those days called
Loyalists, but in later years they earned the
name Of Tories. The ofhceholders Of the
North who now help the SlAveooracy to rule
the great majority Of the people OF the
North, rejoice in the name Of "Union Sa-
vsrs" now, but the future will lind for them
more appropriate name.
Nurtured In the faith Of Freedom, taught
to regard Slavery ~ the greatest Of evils,
and shielded from oil these evils BY the Con-
stitution aud prohibitory ordinances framed
and enacted by our fathers, the Northern
doughfsees have forsaken the faith OF their
youth, condemned the lessons Of their fathers,
and despised and rejected tho blessings Of free
dom and freesoil. They edo not care whether
il is voted up or voted down, and they seek
tosreider oil others as indifferent and a. cal
lousto these evils as they themselves have be-
come through their inordinats lust for office.
They teach that God and man have made
the "rights Of man" dependent upon the
color Of his skin or the texture Of his hair
They deny the logical inference from the dec-
laration Of Divine wisdom that He created
mankind Of one blood; and that natural Sc
qusnce drawn BY our Revolutionary forefath-
ers that oil men are created with inalenable
rights. And thus denying that the rights Of
men are God-given, they become recrean,
alike to the principles and sanctions Of lib.
erty, and scof At men who have been deprived
Of their rights by the hand Of lawless power
and arc still held in bondage by the might Of
the oppressor.
But these doughface ofioeholders not only
scout the idea that slavery is IN evil, and thai
oolored men are entitled to rights, they seel
to impose constitutions upon white men ID
opposition TO their sentiments and in spite
Of their protests. They supported their grea,
leader, the chief servant of the shareholders
President Buchanan, in that high handed
manaura NJ tvenrnv ~ -hs>k ~ .nn.IA -
impose the Lecompton Constitution upon th,
free peaple Of Kansas. They neither Low.
liberty nor reverence the rights Of minoritiel
or majorities. They love ONCE, and they
worship power. Such are the men whom
the slaveocracy have set to rule us in thu
name Of Democracy. These are the kind Of
men that Gil oil Offices Of trust, honor ant
profit under the Federal Government in tn
North-the kind Of men that preside on tn
Bench-that catch runaway niggers-tha
collect the revenue that al tho custom
houses and the post -ofhces and tell the De
mocracy how to vote. They are the aristoc.
racy Of the North, at least the titled aristoo
racy, and they derive their distinction from
their subservience to the slaveocracy, JUS
as their prototypes in colonial times derived
theirs from the great head Of the aris.ocracy
OF England.
Those doughfaoe federal oiiceholders hav,
no sympathies and no sentiments 10 commo,
with the great majority Of the people Of tn
North. They are with u but not Of rs
they belong essentially to the same class
