Slavery.

SA0SCTys
The Republicans tell US that the fathd
Of the Republic all regretted the cxistenl
of slavery, all were opposed to its furtheT
extension, and were utterly opposed to q
admission of new States in which that ID
stitution was tolerated. And yet we
know that the first children of the Revo1
ton were Kentucky and Tennessee-dl
the offspring of Virginia, and the other
North Carolina-and that both tolerat(
slavery. In rapid succession came in Ala9
bama, the offspring of Georgia Louisiana
an acquisition from France Mississippi
peopled from South Carolina and other
the original States. All this was done Will
the Fathers Of the Republic were still alive,
and still exercised a potential voice in th
direction of public affairs. These facts dig
prove the statements, so frequently and SO
ostentatiously made, that the men who
achieved our liberties were hostile to the in
stitution of slavery. They set forth in that
Declaration, which has been the admiration
of all men, that they only sought to obtain
the rights which belonged to them in com.
mon with the inhabitants of Great Britain,
whom they spoke of as their ''brethren' and
their "kindred;" and no one in that day
had progressed so far in his notions of "liG
crty" as to contend that an Afaican, or the
descendant Of an African, from the banks
of the Congo river, was "brother," or
bore relations of kindred" to the people Ol
Great Britain, or were entitled to the same
rights which belonged to men of the eau.

Those desiring this safest and cheapest protec
ton for their families, can secure it in our
Wisconsin Company. 1t has already become,
in reality, State institution, having Agents
and patrons among the best business men in all

ger matter of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as we'll in Wisconsin AZ in Coapec.
ticut or any other Eastern States.
Thus while duty demands that men should
insure their lives, it also demands that they
should keep their money for Investment at

S10Vcfy.
The New H. Patriot, in speaking of the
tinacy Of the two sections, says:
It would puzzle casuist to trace the moral
responsibilities of slavery through the tangled
web Of commerce. The New England cotton
mills keep the negro at work. Lynn lives up
on her profits on negro shoes. Ohio and the
Northwest send pork and corn to feed the
slaves. New York is the carrier for all, and
makes profit from all. The industrial system is
one great whole, and vet there are some deep
est in it, who rail most loudly against it; and
who seem to think that their fierce condemna-
ton Of il, cpmpensates for their profitable COM
plicity init.

Robert C. winthrop.

Robert G. Winthrop.
This gentleman is distinguished men,
Der Of the Whig party. He was once the
idol of large number of those western
men who are now marching in the wake of
Joshua R. Giddings, on the road to that
blissful rest where all colors "can lie down
together" Mr.. Winthrop recently made a
speech at Boston. Below is the close of it !:
| repeat fellow citizens, we need a resto-
ration of National harmony, of that frater-
nal feeling between different members of
the Unien, which was so eloquently and
admirably advocated by the gallant and
true hearted Crittenden in his noble speech,
in order that all the great interests of our
country may once more be calmly and just
ly considered and provided for. And ma
tional harmony can never be restored by
the triumph of either of the extreme par
ties, whether of the North or the South.
Certainly, it cannot be restored by the tri-
umph of party, which has wholly refused
to recognize the Southern States, in the Sc
lection of their candidates, and which does
not pretend to rely upon or to anticipate
simple electoral vote from any one of those
States. Certainly, it cannot be restored by
the triumph of a party, at least one Of
whose candidates is so identified with those
who would award the holiest crown of mar
tyrdom to the very instigator and organizer
of insurrection and treason, and so many
of whose organs and orators are daily de-
the South as land of barbarism,
and daily exulting in the idea of an ire
concilable and irrepressible conflict between
the slave States and the free States. 1t
would be madness to expect from such a
triumph anything but renewed agitation, re-
ncwed irritation, and renewed outbreaks of
fanaticism at one end of the Union, and
fury at the other, which no patriot and no
Christian can contemplate without a shud-
der.
