The gazette and Democrat. (Lancaster, Ohio) 1860-1860, 1860-09-27

aS lney Always nave uOne, look upon 5IaVe-
ry as an evil. and uufavorable to the devel-
opmeLt of the spirit and practical benefits
Of free institutions, and that entertaining
these sentimehts, they will at all times
feel it to be their duty to use all power
clearly given. by the terms Of the nation
al compact, to prevent its increase, to miti-
gate, and 6ually eradicate the evil.
FINALLY ERADICATE THE EVIL
Is this not Ultra.Abolition ground? The
Republicans propose Lot TO extend slave
ry irto free territories, and to let it alone
in the States where it exists, but this res.
olution Of the Cougoes of former days,
boldly proposes to "use all THE POW.
ER clearly given by the National Com.
pact, to EE PREVENT ITS IN CREASE
AND FINALLY ERADICATE THE
EVIL! 1t is no matter that this resolu-
ton when passed. was HIPocRIuoAL; it
was passed to gain the, Liberty and Free
! Soil vote of 1913. and then thrown aside
when it was necessary TO ETC0URT
AND OBTAIN THE PRO, o,SLAtERf CoNoo VOTE
OF THE SOUTH IN 1856 and 1860.
We charge the Democracy with being
at one time, notorious Abolilionists, and,
at another. Of being villianous pro-Savery
men. They were at the first category
when they repealed the Black laws. In
In ls48. and for five successive years,
passed anti-Slavery resolutions in their
State Conventions.
But. they have been generally pfo'Slave-
Iry Abolition has only been an exception
to the rule. They have always been in
favor of acquiring Slave Territory. They
annexed Texas and repealed the Missouri
Compromise; introduced Slavery into Kan
sas, and now go for the Dred Scott decis-
ion, which recognizes slavery everywhere.
We charge the Democracy with being
in favor Of WHITE SLAVERY; ofretuc.
ing every man to bondage who is poor,
because the leading Democratic paper in
the Union-the Richmond Enquirer-
clearly aud distinctly avOws the doctrine,
and no Democratic Convention, or news
paper, or speaker, ever dared to repudiate
the sentiments of the Enquirer. Poor
whits Democrats! Hearken 10 the fearful
words Of Mr.. Buchanan's organ in Vir-
g;nia.
"Make lie laJOring man Tie Stare of one
man instead of the Slave ofsociety, and he
wo'd be far better of" .-
1.-TWO hundred years Of experience show
all free laborers a apauper JandiHi. Free
society has failed, and that which is not
free mast be substituted.
"Free society is amonstrous abortion, and
slavery the health, beautiful, and natural
being which they are trying unconscious
ly to adopt
"1he slaves DIRE governed far better than
the free ia6orers of the NORTH are gorerned.
Our negroes are not ouly better as to
physical comfort than free laborers, but
their moral condition is better.
"We do not doubt the theory that Ham
was the ancestor of the negro race. The
Jewish slaves were not negroes; and to
confne the jurisdiction of.Slavery to that
race would be to weaken its scriptural au-
thority, for we read Of no negro slavery in
ancient times. Slavory, black or ,Ohite, Is
necessary. .4.... ....
"Na,ure has made the weak in mind OF
Joly slnyeS. X tn,
wise and virtuOus, the brave. tile strong IA
mind and body are born to command.
Men are not born entitled
to equal rights 1t would be far nearer tht
truth to say that some were born wiM sad
dies on their backs. and others booted anc
spared to ride them and the riding doe
them good. THEY need the aOhip, the reigns

Life and liberty are not inalienable.

Read the following from the Charleston
Standard, Buchanan paper;
"Slavery IS Me natural nd normal con
ditiOn oftAs la5Oring man, whether WHITE
OR BLACK. The great evil of Northern
free society is, that # is burdened with

that of parent and child, and the North

Their theory of free government is a delu

"Ihe truth is, that all men are not Dor
equally free and Independent, but equal
without freedom and without independ
ence." .....4.
On the same subject, hear Robert Wicl
life, Of Kentucky, late distinguishe
Congo Democrat
"How improved will be our couditio
, when we have such WHITE NEGROE
10 perform the servile labor Of Europe, c
| old England. and, we would add, Of Ne'
England; when our body servants and cal
drivers, and our street sweepers, and ou
