Almost every mail brings us tidings Oi
persecution in the South. In some parts
of the Southern States it seems to he re-
garded as n crime for Il man to have been
born III the North. Innocent and unOI-
Tending persons are subjected to ignomini-
ouS and bnrbarous treatment. We should
not know where else upon the face of the
earth to look for such outrageous proceed
ings as lave been witnessed in some o.
our slave States during the past few weeks.
Mechanics teachers, commercial agents
have been expelled, when there was no
evidence of their attempt to disturb the
peace of the neighborhOodS i'll which they
lived. Who can read the account of the
disgraceful attack upon the Irish lahorer,
James Powers, at Columbia, and not ask
in astonishment whether Columbia is in Il
civilized land? His only offence was the
honest and truthful declaration that sla-
very degradcs the free lnborcr. How
speedily and emph0tically were his words
confirmed
Now this cruel and lnwlcss policy OF
certain men in the South is either a ne
ccssary concomitant of slavery, or it is
not. If it is, if the South mean to sit
down in silence in the presence of such
acts, if they mean to say that mt such IL
price and by such means alone their do
mcSllC nsllLutlOu can DC supPOELeNI NIlN
their form of society be rendered safe,
then the evil of slavery has never been
exaggerated by its most violent oppo-
ncnts. But if the perpetuation of slavery
does not require these unjust prosecutions,
then the sensible men of the South must
exert themselves to check them. They
tell us that slavery is q ''benign and bcne-
fccnt institution" If they wish the North
to believe this, if they desire us to admire
the strength and beauty of their form of
society, they must show themselves above
acts which evincc only fear, weakness and
maleyolencc. 1t is very difficult for people
here, who believe in freedom of speech
and of thought, to see much comclinesS of
strength in institutions which have to be
defended by tyranny and lawlOssncss. A
man may come here and express the most
offensive sentiments upon any public
question, and go his way undisturbcd.-
Gov. Wise might make one Of his most
foolish speeches. and be sure of q respect
able hearing. We do not believe in pro-
or in defending our sentiments by
lynching. 1t is, therefore, hard for us to
maintain much respect for state of So
ciety in which no differences of opinion
can be tolerated.

The Conservative Press upon that
Irish StOne-Cutter.
rFrom the pittsLurgh pisnatch.l


The Scourging of the Irish stone-cuttcr,
James Power, at Columbia, S. c., because
he believed and said that white mechanics
should be employed in mechanic arts, and
the negroes confined to the fields and
swamps, should warn lnboring men of the
North what they must expect when brought
into contact with n system of q labor for
ever antagOnistic 10 their own. Powers is
IL Democrat was a resident of Philadel-
phia, where he voted for Mr.. Florence for
Congress. and seems to have neither opin-
ions nor sentiments in common with Abo-
litionists He did not tNmpcr with slaves:
he did not even say slavery should be
abolished; but to his fellow white nc
chanics freely said that they should have
preference over slaves in mechanical en-
pigments. For this he was seized and
carried by mob out of the city; thirty
nine lashes, each of which drew blood,
were applied to his back, and over the gap
ing, bleeding wounds coat Of tar and
feathers was applied. In this plight he
was escorted by negroes. amid the jeers
aud snecrS Of the populncc, including the
members of the Legislature, TO the cars,
and then shipped TO Charleston, whence he
found his way to New York.
This vexed question of slavery does not
involve the interests of the negro alone.-
lie is a mere accident of II great question
of social politics. The advocate of sla-
very assumes broadly that the lahorcr
should be owned, not hired, and it is only
Il question of time whether the poor white
man shall not be reduced to the condition
Of the four millions of slaves now in the
South. Admit the theory to DC true, and
it ut once becomes general in'itS applica-
tion though particular race is now in
volved, yet all races are made subjective to
it. The man who believes in his right to
own his laborcr cannot be particular what
the color or nativity of that laboror may be.
The moment it becomes profitable to en-
slave the poor white-the sandhiller of
Carolina, or the ignorant white of Virginia
or the poor man of any c"untry-thc
necessary legislation will be had, and white
slavery be established by fiction Of law.
1t is of primary Importance, therefore,
to the laboring man of the North that the
system of slavery should be confined to its
present limits, and all peaceful and eifcc-
tunl means used for its diminution and ul-
innate extiuguishmcnt. There is nothing
more certain in the book of Fate than that
this nation must ultimately be all free or
all slave. 1t was moro possible that the
world should tolerate two suns and two
AlcxandcrS than that the two ant&gnnistiC
systcms-antngonstic in their very nature
should endure forever and peaccably
under the same Government and within
the same Union. While they do so exist,
such outrAgcs as were hcaped upon John
Power will be of common occurrence.

tisu.,use our political friends in other parts Of
the sAto Of the erroneous impressions 80 per-
sisteutly forced upon them as to the lack Of
harmony and unaLimity OF sentiment amorg
the Republicans Of this county. The Conven-
ton was full one, every town in the county
having its quota Of delegates, selected from
tue very best men Of the party and represent
ing every variety Of sentiment as to the Presi-
dental candidate, yet on the subject Of Coy
ernor entertaining but one opinion. but one
wish, that expressed in the resolution ofinstruc-
tion, received with rounds Of applause ard
adopted without dissenting voice.
Some time ago, without advocating the
nomination of NJ. Judd or even expressing
our preference on the subject, we stated that
tho Republicans Of Cook County would pre-
sent his nan,e to the State Convention and ask
his nomination. So great was the unanimity
of sentiment among the masses Of tho party,
that it WAS as impossible to mistake it then as
it would be to-day in view Of the action Of the
Convention yestarday. And now let us cay
that lis nomination will bv asked not as a CON-
pliment, !,ut with the confident expectation
that lis titncss fer the Office, Ills long experience

legislative wants Of the State, lis extensive
personal acquaintance will our people, togeth-

believe that with Mf. Judd Is their STANDARD
