Helpers Book and the National
Crisis

If there is in our American character any one
thing that must excite the surprise if not the rid
icule of the nations of Europe, it is THAT mi
nority in the Congress of this great American Re-
public, should keep the government in state of
Reorganization for weeks, discussing the con.
tents of little book. A small volume written
some four years ago by Mr.. Helper, native Of
North Carolina, which was allowed to pass COM
paratveiy unnoticed until within short period
that such little book shou Id of sudden throw
the nation, or at least one-half of it, into con-
vulsions-call forth the most violent threats Of
destroying this great confederacy of States must
certainly appear singular to lockers on abroad
And what is this book that makes such ter
rible uproar, and creates such proliGc theme
for Democratic speakers in Congress? The COM
pendulum OF Helpers book, (which, it is said, has
been recommended for circulation by some mem
bers of Congress, is principally made up of sta
tistical facts, drawn from the q, S. census and
other authentic documents, and the opinions of
eminent statesmen, both of the North and the
South. The book is addressed to the non slave
holding whites of the south, and designed to
prove by undisputable facts the superiority of
free labor over slave Labor. There is not sim
gle line in the book intended for negroes either
slave or free; it counsels no ;insurrection-no
disobedience to law. The book, as any one will
readily perceive by reading it, is designed to ele
vate the condition of the poor free whites of the
south these constitute the great majority of the
white population in the slave States Had Hener

south, the slave holders; had he counseled
them to reopen the slave trade, or even to re-

The Presidents Message.

The message which was delivered in Congress
last week will be found in the TeLegrat h to-day
1t is all important public document, especially as
it marks another era in the march towards des-
potism by the administration. Only few
years ago, such doctrines as are now advanced
in the message would have been received with
scon and contempt by all parties at the north
and would have taken the south by surprise
The sentiments of the message on the subject
of slavery, were, only short time since utterly
repudiated and condemned by the unanimous
voice of the Democratic party north, as can be
abuudantly shown by resouti ons and platforms
of political belief adopted in county and State
conventions. Less than one year ago the Dem
ocratic party in this State, professed the doc
trine of non-intervention in respect to slavery
in the Territories; the President goes for anter-
Uention, not to prohibit. but 10 protect slavery
In the Territories. The Democratic party in
Wisconsin, have all along protested to hold with
Douglas, that the people of the Territories could
prevent slavery therein by " unfriendly
legislation" but the President recognizes no
such theory he declares unequivocally, &c thai
NEITHER Congress, nor Territorial Legislature,
nor any human power has any authority to an
null or impair this vested right" slavery. Nine
tenths Of the Democratic presses of Wisconsin,
have, during the past year, glorifed Popular
Sovereignty from week to week, insisting the
people of all the Territories of this Union, had
right to regulate their own institutions, inclu.
ding that of slavery, Will they continue to
preach Popular Sovereignty, after the fashion
they have heretofore done OF course, they
will do no such thing. Will they now shift
their sails and follow in the direction indicated
in the message9 They are quite sure to do SO
ising, the Democracy of Wisconsin, would, very
likely, have chung to shis Popular Sovereignty
dogmas but since Douglas has fallen into BAG
repute, and his prospects for the Presidency are
hopeless, the only alternative left for the Wis
consin Democracy, is to accept the southern
slaveocratic doctrines, as enunciate by Buchan
an in his message. The Democratic party has be
come used to shifting its principles the strong
anti slavery resolutions which the party adopted
in State Convention in 1849, have long sine,
ry orthodoxy; so the resolutions which that par
ty adopted in State cow entions in 1859 will! b.
repudiated in 1860 by the very men who adopted
them. Such Is the mutability of modern De.
mocracy, 1t has yielded its cherished princi
ples one after another to the South until it now
is as essentially pro-slavery as is the party in
Virginia or South Carolina.

Our Democratic brethren of the press in Wis.
cousin, are beginning to turn their attention to
the proof of the rightfulness ofslavery from the
Bible, and are attempting to familiarize the m
selves with scripture quotations in support of
the institution. Mingling politics with religion
has heretofore been most heinous offence n
the sight of the Democracy, but since the great
Union Saving meeting held in New York some
two or three weeks ago, the question of slavery
is to be put on new platform. Charles O'Con.
ner, the leading orator at that meeting, ammo un-
ced the doctrine of the party.as follows =
Yielding to the decree of nature, and the
voice of sound philosophy, we must pronounce
the institution slavery Just, bsnecisnt, la,eful
and proper"
Again says Mr.. O'Conner, " we must no long
favor political leaders, who talk about slavery
being an evil"
Acting on this new assumption of the party,
the newspaper politicians are now trying thei,
hand at Bible quoting, also hunting up the say
ings of pro-slavery divines. The Democrat Of
this city, made an effort of that sort last week
Now if slavery be-"just benefcient, lawful and
proper" as declared at the great N. York Unior
saving meeting, it is quite proper the Democra
cy should bestir themselves in finding Bible
justification. Pro-slavery ministers in Wis co n
sin and the western states generally, have for
long time past been about as scarce az blacl
birds in January, still it is very likely there ma,
be few, who nave been laid on the shelf by tn,
prevailing anti-slavery sentiment of the church
es. These should be sought out at once and Sc
at work looking over Genesis aud Deuteronom,
to find texts to prove it eminently "just, benefi
cent, lawful and proper" to buy men and .wc
men in the market, sell their children on the auc
ton block, and do all other things general and
particular, Cor the glory of slavery.

Ex-senator Doolittle, made an excellent
speech few days since in defence of the Repub-
lican party. He told the fire eaters and disun-
ionists great many bold and wholesomeItrnths.
He declared the Republican party Of this country
stands pledged to maintain the Union, and de-
fend it against all its enemies, and said if the
party came into power il would declare its pur-
pose towards all who attempted to break up this
government :-"arrest them for treason, try them
for treason, and ifthe ury do not acquit them on
the ground Of insanity, to hang them for treason,

The Reign of Terror.

The N. Y. Independent complies from its vari-
Gus correspondence, anumber of incidents that
have recently transpired in the southern states,
which illustrate the despotism that there FREEDOM
mates. reign of terror is now prevailing
The despotism of Russia does not parallel the
dsspotism, that now rules in some of the states
South. The many facts that have recently ap
peared settles the matter that it is now no long
er necessary, a man should speak against slavery
to insure his expulsion from slave State
it is enough to know that he is a northern man
This feeling of hatred towards all northern men
is not allowed to manifest itself so strongly or
the great thoroughfares of travel, as in the more
interior towns.
Among the many cases noticed of southern
persecution of northern men, the Indepeaden
gives detailed account of one, which was ex
ultingy noticed short time ago in tn,
Charleston Mercury, South Carolina. An Irish
man by the name of James Power, an intelligent
man, twenty-three years of age, stone cutter
by trade, went from Philadelphia to Columbia
S. c., where he worked nine months. The only
opinion he ever uttered on the subject of slavery
was that it caused the poor white laborer in thu
south, to be looked upon as an inferior and de
graded man. This was enough; he was seized,
imprisoned, whipped and obliged to undergo
many indignities which we will aot detail. W.
give the conclusion of the Independents article
He arrived in New York on Monday last
where he is still staying, recovering from the eff
feets of his ill treatment, and looking for work
which we hope he may find. We have only on
comment to make on his case. This mar in
formed us that in common with great mass o
Irishmen in this country, he had always voteC
with the Democratic party. He had long know
in Philadelphia that the Democratic party upheld
slavery, but he never learned until he went t.
South Carolina, that slaveryicrushed the white la
borer, and that the Democratic party, in uphold
ing slavery, is therefore the enemy of Irishmen
who are nation of laborers. In the Southern
States, labor is looked upon as dishonorable, anG
workmen are degraded. This is what an Irisl
stone cutter learned while cutting stone in Soutl
Carolina. We hope the lesson of his experience
may reach the ears Of his countrymed."
