THAT MAN JOHNSON.
TIL. hid enough that MAJ like Herschel
Y. johnson, VIII, when a; home, would un'
hesitastnEly h I'D 1noo for ra;ti1 6 do~n any
Northern MAJ, who sllon'd at:em t 10 re5easse,
in regard to s!aurs, the language that was
common in ahe conversation Of Washington,
Jefferson md Madison, should tske it upon
himself to instruct the people Of the West in
their political rights and dutiee; but hen this
man johnson, who avowed IN 1856. in pub
lie speech in Philadelphia, that .capital
should own L,bor," comes; North to tell our |
1aborers how to cast their votes, We wonder |
thAt they do no: leave him to. talk to empty
seats and vacant spacs- It isa greater: wonder,
that, when he insu,ts &bem as be did ct Pits
burgh, during recent prnSlave:y harangue
there, they do not silence him On the spot
With tho idea c,mu'on among the buyers and
sellers Of laboring men and their wives and
children, that inoo: is dishonorabls,. that no
man who tolls cal be or ought to bo free. he
broke out in that city Of Pittsburgh, in re-
ply to question, il tbs following ftrain:
"LOoK AT THE SLAVES: IN YOUR
OWN W0RESH0PSl THEY ARE DRIVEN
70 THE Polls AT THE BECK or THEIR
MASTERS. UNDER PENALTY OF BEING
DISCHARGED"
".Slape5 in yoHr 4porkshops" Mechanics

Of alave-drivers ,ha: the sun ever shone upon,
do you hear this? "You slaves Of the
workshop, who arc driven to the polls at the
beck Of your nhstsra," do you understand
mechanics, aud governs them bythe whip, the
gag, and the aiavs houndt, 1neans7 lie has
come TO tell you what you must do At 1ndi-
annapolis, only week a.o, lie announced his
purpose and ycur mission. said he: :.

Gorate the condition in which the Douglas
candidate for Vice President sees you must
have Democra:ic foot set upon his neck.
Your preacher, 5our school teachers, your

you are uodsr its operation. "Capital should
