The White Mans Pnrty--FrCe
Labor, Free Soil Ond Free NIcn.
The Republicans Of Maryland have re-
Gently put forth an earnest appeal to tho
people Of that State, in which they very
properly characterize the present contest
as one between free white men aud ne
gro slaves. They say, "This party is es-
sentiOlly the white mans party. It's SYM
pathies are enlisted in behalf Of the white
race, and its fundamental object is 10 ell
ev0te aud ennoble free labor" This is
only true and fair statement Of the es.
sential issue. The mass Of the Republi-
can party are opposed to slavery in itself,
but the grand prime object In the limita-
ton and restriction Of il, is the protection
Of free labor. Wherever slavery goes,
free labor is depressed, aud free labOrers
are degraded.
Ofall others, the curse Of negro slave
~ is visited most heavily upon free white
laborers. To save them from the curse
and preserve our Western domain for
free homes for free men, is one vital OBJ
ject ofthe Republican party.
On the other hand, the Democratic par

Of negro slaves, the bondsmen of haugh-
ty and aristocratic task-masters, to com.

man cattle. They are in favor of setting
down on our national domain, in equ0l
conflict, with the start in favor Of the
black race, the sturdy freemen Of the
North and the negro slaves Of the South
