rfw-L1aHT DEMOCRACY.


"The 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.
-Washington Union.
ssThe Democrats of the South in the present
canvass cannot rely on the old ground OF ae-
fence and excuse for Slavery, for tney seek
not merely to maintain 1t where 1t is, Dut TO
extend it into regions where it is unknown
Richmond Inquirer.
,sTbe Democracy is national. Il is the
same in Maine and Massachusetts, that it is in
Virginia and S. Carolina. .'-.4lbany Argus.
oNor 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 re propose TO take into
Territories human beings unfit for liberty, self
government, and equal association wifh 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. .''-Richnoad IN
quirer.
ssWe rejoice in our candidates as national
in our principles as nati6nal-the same every
where. .''-Senator Bright
stMake the laborng man the slave OF one
man instead of the slave of society, and he
,,,onh ho better off. Two hundred years
of liberty have made white laborers pauper
hond;tti. Free society has failed, and
that which is not free must be substantial
Senator Mason, Of Virginia.
s.Tbe platform on which we have placed our
candidates is no sectional thing. 1t is broad
enough to cover, and does cover, the whole u
MON. Its principles are the same in the free
and in the slave States.'-Senat0r Hunter.
ssFree society is a monstrous abortion, and
Slavery the beautiful, healthy, and natural be-
ing which they are trying to adopt. The
SHARES are gorerned far better than the free "a
6orers of the North. Our Slaues are not only
better off as TO physical comfort man f,ee ipcor- @
ers. but their moral condition IS better.''-Rtch-
,nond Inquirer.
ssI trust the day will come when the princi-
nles of Democracy, as understood and prac-
ticed at the South, will prevail over the coun-
try."-Senator Erans.
ssMen are mot born entitled TO equal rights 1t
would be nearer the truth to say that some
were born with saddles on their backs, and oth-
ers booted and spurred to ride them, and the
riding does them good. Life and lber-
ty are not inalenable. The Declaration
of Independence is exuberantly false and abo-
rescently fallacious.' .''-Richmomd Inquirer.
ssShall the Democratic party fear this issue
to oppose the extension OF Slavery NO, IN
deed There is not single Democrat IN NE
North opposed to the erfensron 81 Soathern socie-
tn. or so-calIed extension of sslaUery,' 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 .''-New York DdyeBook, Demo-
cratic paper.
aSlavery exists in Kansas under the Consti-
tuition ''-James Buchanan.
elf the Constitution carries Slavery there
Gin the Territories,) without affirmative law,
no power on earth can take it away ."-Doug-
las, at Chicago.
ssLook at the Slaves in your own workshops!
They are driven to the polls at the beck OF
their masters, under penalty of being dis
charged."-H II. Y. Johnson, Dem. candidate ior
v. President, at Pittsburgh, Sept. y.
sIn all social systems there must be class
to do the mean duties. to perform the druid
gerry of life-that is class requiring but a
low order of intellect, and but little skill.
IL constitutes the uery MUD S1LLS Of society.
sThe man who lives by daily labor, and scarce
ly lives at that, and has to put out his labor
in the market and take the best he can get for
it-in short, your whole class of manuel Ia
borers and operatives, as you call them are
Shares. Your SLAVES ,chife, Of your o'pa Race.
Our Slaves do not vote-yOurs do vote !-Sen-
,,for HomruO,,d of S, e..
