a pleasant sail of forty-four hours across
Lake Erie, we reached Detroit early in
the morning of the 26th, thirteen days
from Boston.
Mr.. EDIToR,-" South Side" seems
greatly alarmed at the unexpected attack
made upon him both front and rear he
may congratulate himself that it is no
worse, for this is but slight foretaste
Of the dreadful volley we shall open
upon him, and his whole slavery extern
sion party, in November next
He rather objects to me using the word
cursed" with democratic admins
tration, and suggests the word bless
ed" Now have not the least idea of
taking back one word of my former
communication, and more especially
that word, as am still satisfied tina. it is
the " right word in the right place" 1t
is not with the democracy of Madison,
Monroe or Jackson that we have 10 do,
but with the so called Democracy of
to-day. Forty or fifty years ago dem
ocracy meant that the peple should
govern, but now it means that the pecu-
liar institution shall govern, and all
things shall be subservient thereto.
How clearly is this portrayed in their
every action. When the Homestead
bill was before Congress last session,
the Democrats in the Senate smothered
it to give place to the acquisition of the
"Gem of the Antilles" Why was
this done? the former was ir imical TO the
spread of slavery, the latter productive
Of it. Does he remember the dreadful
contortions Of the Democracy ON the
Lecompton question and how in the
present session the administration is
openly charged by Mcssrs. Hickman,
Haskins and Adrian, all three demo-
Gratis, of holding out bribes to obtain
tHCE VotSS oh tfidt ISSUE. w Htu the
legislature Of Kansas passed a law
abolishing slavery. Gov. Medary, an
appointee Of the Administration, sent
back the bill with his veto The same
thing occurred in Nebraska. Bat we
amples of this kind Some Of the dem
ocrats in our Legislature, to prove their
" soundness on the goose" introduced
a bill to prevent jree negroes coming to
reside in this State, and then another
bill allowing sldue negroes to be brought
here and to be held as slaves for the term
Of six months in direc, violation Of the
Constitution, these are few Of the acts
of the Latter Day Democracy.
But, says " South Side" Democrat
ic Administration gave US Free Trade
and Sailors Rights. Let US look at the
Sailors Rights we get from the present
administration. The French govern
ment claims military service from all
natives of France who may be found
within its Jurisdiction. Your naturalt-
cation in this country ,cill not exempt yoa
from that claim should yon voluntarily
repair Miiher"-(manifesto Of the ad-
ministration to Mr.. LeCIerc. If"South
Side" sees any Sailors Rights in this,
he is welcome to them.
But Mr.. Buchanan is trying to get the
Gem Of the Antilles. How BY re-
quiring Congress to place in his hands
$40. .OOO, 900, merely to open negotia-
tions with. And for what purpose are we
to acquire this sGem 90 According to
the acknowledgment of a distinguished
Democratic Senator at public meeting
held in New York City last fall, :" it is
to extend the area of slavery to make
more Slave States" Now we are very
much obliged to Mr.. Buchanan for his
exertions in that line, but considering
the price to be paid. and the object to be
attained, we will be very happy to re-
Iieve him Of any further labors in that
particular direction. Some folks who
are superstitious enough to believe that
Mr.. Buchanan could do wrong, whisper
that that Twenty Millions might be made
TO 60 great ways towards blessing
us with another democratic administra-
