necessities Of the negro than be can make for
himself In that climate. 1t is the found alton Of
the prosperity of the whole country.
Mr.. Sumner boasts that the manufactures OF
New England outnumber those Of the South,
and appeals to that fact a. . triumphant argu-
ment sgainst slavery. But the South is not q
manufacturing, but an agricultural country,
and II it did not furnish the raw materials,
where would be the manufactures of New Eng
land? New England ID too barren and the
population too thick for agriculture. Its ex-
ceiling In manufactures arises from that neces-
city which is the mother Of invention. II the
South withdrew its custom from New Esglaud,
what would become of half it, manufactures,
and of its starving population? The South
hitherto did not need to manufacture, for It
could make more money by raising the raw
material. But should 1t manufacture hereafter
for itself all that 1t has been receiving from the
North, 1t would no longer be in the power of Mr..
Sumner to make such an empty vaunt Alum
dance Of manufactures is no evidence of hsppi-
ness or prosperity among the masses of the
people, and no test Of the superiority of free
over slave labor. In Old England manufac.
lures are more numerous than in New Eng
land, and where else in the world Il
there such a miserable, poverty stricken
diseased population a. that of the factory
towns of Great Britain? White slaves they are,
like those of New England, and unenviable Is
their sad lot compared with that of the happy
negroes of our Southern States. Within few
months there have been numerous strikes all
over New England, and appeals to charity for
the purpose of obtaining wretched pittance
for free labor somewhat above the starvation
point. Do we ever hear any complaint of the
population of the South being In q starving
condition and without the necessaries and
even the comforts of life And 1t

Europe Is almost exhausted, or at best does
but keep pace with the demands for "help" In

And yet Mr.. Sumner and his party propose
to overturn this system of labor at the South,
as we'll as at the North, by force or by fraud,
by law or by arms, and the republican journal

they have not the courage or the honesty to
avow the designs Of their party.

Of the democratic nomination for the Presi-

junta who broke up the Charleston Conven-
ton, and intend to break up the Baltimore
Conventon-who, after slaughtsring Wise and

their Punic faith.
The Regency are the cause of all the diff
Guilty and trouble existing In the democratic
party. They forced the secession Of the South
ern members, and they will take good care, as
far as they can, that there will be no reunion
of the seceders with the Convention at Balti-
moreno harmony Of action in the party.
There is every probability, therefore,
that there will be two democratic can
didates before the people. And what care they
for the consequences II they cannot control the
nomination themselves, and use the nominee o.
their most obedient slave, they would rejoice
at the overthrow of the party. Their motto Is
''rule or ruin" and they are in league with the
Seward faction for TIE spoils Of the State, and
particularly Of the city of New York, the great
placer in which they have invested their prin-
cipL political capital. Theee are of far more
Importance to them than the federal spoils,
both on account of their greater amount and
their certainty, bird In the hand being worth
two in the bush.
1t Is the policy Of these two anti-slAvery fac
tons who control the legislation of the State,
and who differ only In name, to sacrifice ns-
Honal interests for local plumber. They UNDER
stand each other thoroughly, and always play
into each others hands, and they have no more
