SLAVERY.

We mud the following:
a Northern gentleman travelling
through the Southern States, in writing
to friend in New England, says: The
evils Of the present system Of Slavery are
not borne by the negro Let your heart
be at rest upon that. "
In the above We End gu admission that
there are "evils in the present system Of
slavery" Knowing, as every one does,
that the breaking up of families among
the slaves, to say nothing Of other cruel,
ties to them must be "evils" to them
the expression above must DO taken in a
comparative sense The writer evident
" means that the evils to the slave are
as nothing compared with the evils to
the whites This statement Of the case
we are not disposed to dispute. We, in
speaking of slavery, have said much about
its ctFcc. upon the whites, and yet We
cannot say word against its extension
into the territories, without being told
that We are "woollies" and care more for
the niggers than We do for the whites
1t must be evident to all thinking men
tina. the Republican party is pre.emi-
ncn,ly the white mans party. Wcwish
to preserve the territories for the use OF
the white men, while the ruling portion
of the Democratic party wish to occupy
then for slayc-b breeding and slave.labor
purposes. If any one thinks that slavery
is not an evil but blessing to the whites
we would advise him to read Charles
Summers speech on the "Barbarism of
Slavery" That speech is unanswered,
and is unanswerable. 1t will convince
any candid reader that all the Constitu-
tional powers of the government ought
to be used to stop the extension Of so
great an evil.
In the same paper (the Crisis VIC find
the following from another Northern
man who has been visiting the South
"Sadncss upon the face Of negro is a
every rare picture, but it is frequently
"eugraven deeply upon the masters face
and yet because we wish to prevent the
extension Of this sadoening erH we arc
denounced as the niger party. Why
the Democratic party is controlled by
niger breeders and niyyir whippcrs and
is pre-eminently the niger party. The
niger kept the Charleston Convention
in session nearly two weeks without, any
result except blackcuins all the members,
and he has, after a session of week, at
Baltimore, blowed up the National Dem
ocratic Convention and with it the party,
so that there is now no Democratic party
What formerly constituted the Demo
cratic party is now divided into Doug
lasites and Administration men, the
latter being supported by nearly every
ocallcd Democratic State in the Union
j Men, at the North, who treat a colored
man like man, and do not desire to
force him down to the level of the brute,
are called "nigser worshipers' by the
refined and enlightened Douglasites. -
The writer last alluded in speaking o.
the slaves, says, They are always pro,
"yidcd with a place for worship, and
"often white people Of the highest re,
"rpectability mingie devoutly with them
sat the feet Of the altar. No longer ago
ethan yesterday l saw the tears of the
"black and white mingle at church, and
"the eudearing address to them of 'my
''' dear brethren and sisters came from
ike lips Of a refined white minister.
Reader this is not an account of til,
treatment Of blacks in-Oberlin No i
beats Oberlin entirely, but it is an ac
count Of the doinss Of people Of tn
IN chest respectability' in the South
The paper from which VIC have taken th'
above extracts is simon pure Demo
cratic sheet which claims to be San anti
dotc to abolition fana.icism."
During recent visit in Baltimore vi
entered the Cathedral in that CITY aue
there we saw black aud white worship
ing side by side. Had Northern Doug
las man seen them he would have though
