rEw-L1aHr DEMOCRACY.

tsThe Democracy is the same everywhere
North, South. East, and West. 1t seeks the
aScendancy of the same principles, and the
success of the same measures, in all sections
I-W1shiagton Union.
ssThe Democrats of the South in the present
canvass cannot rely on the old ground of de.
| fence and excuse for Slavery, for they seek
not merely to maintain 1t where it is, but to
| extend it into regions where it is unknown -
Richmond Inquirer.
:sThe democracy is national. X is the
| same in Maine and Massachusetts that it is in
Virginia and S. lina.''-.4ibany .4rgus.
s'Nor will it avail us aught to show that the
negro is most happy and best situated in the
condition of Slavery. If we stop there, we
weaken our cause by the very argument inten-
ded to advance it; for t1e propose 10 take into
Territories human beings unfit for liberty, self
government, and equal association Uifh other
men. We must go q step further. We must
show that African slavery is moral, religious,
natural, and probably. in the general, neces-
sary institution of society. .''-Richmond IN
quirer.
ssWe rejoice in our candidates as national
in our principles as national-the same every
where. ."-Senator Bright.
SNAKE the laboring man the slave of one
man instead of the slave of society, and he
would be better off. /. Two hundred years
of liberty have made white laborers pauper
banditti. Free society has failed, and
that which is not free must be substantial.''-
Senator Mason, Of Hirginia.
ssThe platform on which we have placed our
candidates is no sectional thing. 1t is broad
enough to cover, and does cover, the whole u
nion. Its principles are the same in the free
and in the slave States.'-Senafor Hunter.
ssFree society is a monstrous abortion, and
Slavery the beautiful, healthy, and natural be-
ing which they are trying to adopt. The
Slapes are governed far better than the Free Ia
borers of the North. Our SLares are not only
better off as TO physical comfort than Free labor
ers, but their moral condition is .'-Rict-
mond Inquirer.
ssI trust the day will come when the princi-
pies of Democracy, as understood and prac-
ticed at the South, will prevail over the conn
ry.''-Senafor EUans.
ssMen are not born entitled 10 equal rights. 1t
would be nearer the truth to say that some
were born with saddles on their backs, and 9TH
ers booted and spurred to ride them, and the
riding does them good. Life and liber-
ty are not inalienable. The Declaration
of Independence is exuberantly false aud abo-
rescently fallacious. .''-Riehmond Inquirer.
ssShall the Democratic party fear this issue
to oppose the extension OF Slavery? No, in
deed There is not a single Democrat in the
North opposed 10 the extension Of Southern socie-
ty, or so-cGifed extension Of sslarery,' and they
only await the truth spoken out, to sweep the
Abolition atmosphere from the Republic, and
bury its besotted tools in the profoundest
depths-the lowest possible depth of public
contempt. ."-NeU- York. Day Book, a Demo
cratic paper.
ssSlavery exists in Kansas under the Consti-
tuition" ."-James Buchanan.
