We hare heretofore called attention ID the
fact that the slaEe-eodo of:New4 Mexico, which
the Republican meml ers of Congress have
been labortrg during the present session to
abolish; contains the germ Of new slave sys-
lem, which, though startling to common peo-
pie, is a fair and logical deduction from the
1heories Of the Democratic party. We refer
to the clauses giring to the employer OF lahor:
ers, whether white, black. or mixed tAe right
to fog his employers to his heatss content T:
and dcnv;ng to tic parties Sd Sd aosged any re-
dress a, law! Shortly after the organization
Of the House, tie Hon. John A.. Bingham, Of
Ohio, procured certified copy Of these afro.
cious enuctmeuts, and introduced bill de-
claring them null and void This bill passed
the House Of Representatives in due time, and
went 10 the Senate for its concurrence. aince
then, the only evidence VIC have had of It's e1-
istence is found in one eor blr Douglas: speooh"
es in which he alludes to it thus:

This statement, though crninently straight
forward aid truthful SO ia. as it goes, only
tells half the story. It DOES not set forth the
douhly od:ous and revolving character Of the
New Mexican slave system, which proposes
to reduce un laborcrs to the condition Of serf-
dom, aud to throw Them without the pale Of
the GIRL law. We submit to iair.minded men

20 firmly welded to slavery and 50 given up
to its spread and perpetuation that they can
pause to mike no distinction between whites
and llacks-tfat for tie sake Of securing to
slavery ia territory 11ye tlnea larger 3han .the
State # New York" they will not give their
votes to rescue poor men Of their own color
and kindred from The lash Of the overseer.
When the naked proposition is before themto
separate whites from bucks in the merclleRs
provisions Of the slave laws Of United States
Territory they will not yield an inch to The
principle Of freedom and tree labor.
Another and equally striking example cf
Democratic policy in regard to slavery in the
Jug effort to abolish the "peculiar institution"
III Nebraska. Since the opening Of that Terri
tory to settlement, 1tlere have beon = grcatar
or less number Of slaves leid therein The
Missouriaua, at al early day, seized upon the
fairest portion Of the Territory, and with
their human clIa.tels, took posse IS ion. There
1I.ey have h:ea ever since; md though thu
numbered their elaves has: not been 1a1ee, it
WAS large enough to give sanction TO their
boast that slavery was oae Of the Institutions
Of the iuchoate STATE. Iess than oro month
sincc a citizen Of 1owa recovered damages III
the amount Of Ss,o00s from gang of scoun-
drels who broke into his house willie hunting
for two negro girls held in slavery in Sebras'
ka, who had "cscaped IRON service Or labor"
vear ard half ago: hen Tie Legislature
Of Nebraska assembled last winter, bill for
tie abolition Of slavery in the Territory was
brought forward By the Republican pary.' In
tie House and in the Council it met with nn'
expected opposition from The. Dam cracy: Il
WAS once tabled aud bcut-n Iy Democratic
votes; but, again rosuscita.ed, it passed at
last-eytry Republican voting for #. Every
vote cast against it WIS a Democratic vote.
Here WIS the exercise Of Squatler Sovereign
ty-the same squatter Sovereignty upon the
triumph Of which Gen. Oass congratulated tie
Senate Of the United States when the Kansas
Nebraska bill became lawn perfectly fair
and Legitimate manner; and though the Dem
ocrats in voting against the bi1l were false to
their Northern professions, tho country would
have approved ard been satisfied with ite
passage. Tho hil WIS sent to tho Governor,
and By him returned to the body in which 1t
originated, with lis veto and objections accom-
panying, based ohieay on the Dred Scott de-
cision, which, according 10 Gov Black, dis
fincay jorJids the Legislature Of Territory se
abolish. or exclude slavery.
