The Tables Turned!
Black Republicanism in Favor of White
fsCHZ Slavery. 9# ii

The PEONAGE relation existing in
New Mexico, now called WHITE SLA-
VERY, was established by the laws Of
Mexico when New Mexico was part of
that Republican Confederation ard one
of the States of that Confederation. New
Mexico was acquired by treaty with Mexi-
co, which treaty stipulated for a preserva-
tion of all acquired personal rights, and
Congress possessed no power to destroy
those rights. .. JA3I 1asojese7 Qd19
This everybody must admit, but inde-
pendent Of this fact, a correct, quotation
from the laws Of the Territorial Legisla.
ture shows, that ell of the so-called white
Slavery Laws were alleyiative of the con.
dition of those owing service under the
Mexican Peonage Laws, intended to mod
ify and soften the relation of master and
servant there, and make the Mexican laws
less severe and cruel. t. si2#s ss5 atai
And these laws modifying and soften
ing this relation, were the very ones which
the dunder headed Black Republican who
introduced a law for their repeal in Con-
gress, intended by Congressional inter.
ference to wipe out, consequently the Con.
gresham acho votsd foe their repeal, uoted
to aoipe out the more humane provisions of
the olleviative territorial laws. and leaye
standing IN full force the older ,Merican
las0s IN their full vigor and severity Those
laws gave absolute power over the life of
the peon to the master-the territorial
laws took away this power, and very con-
siderably modified his powers in other rer
spects.
Every Black Republican, therefore, acho
voted for repeal Of the Territorial laws,
VOTEDIN FAVOR OF4BSOLUTE
White Slavery ,cithout any nsodi ifcation as
it existed under the barbarous Mer;can
lasos = Those Democrats ,oho voted against
the repeal voted according to The dictates
Of humanity for those more humane Ter
,itorial la,cs, which sofened the rigorous
cruelty of the INerican la,os. No law for
the absolute abolition of the peonage re-.
lation ever did or could come before Con.
gress. -
How plain tale puts down the SIAN
derous faisehoods of the Black Republi-
cans in regard to this matter.
The record proves Black Republicans
to have been the real advocates, cham,
pions and friends of the old Spanish cruel
law of peonage. t5l3st%A sta

{ The Ordinance of 's7.

A correspondent of the New York Journal
of Commerce states the truth about this Ordi-
nance, very clearly and succinctly, as follows:
"The stupid fallacy has been put forth that
the ordinance of 'S7 was a part of the Consti-
tuition. That Ordinance amounted to nothing
more than the acceptance of large tract OF
land ceded to the General Government by a
single State, with certain conditions attached
to the cession, SO that the prohibition of slave
ry in that territory was the act of Virginia
Congress having. no authority Of itself to pro-
nibit slavery anywhere; though it has an un,
doubted right to accept or reject Territories
offered to it, with conditions attached to the
acceptance, as man may buy plot Of ground
with an incumbrance on it. This Territory
then ceded by Virginia, though called sfree,'
appears to be the only Territory belonging t.
the Confederacy that was not free. The Terri.
tories, to be entirely free, must be free to al
their owners

When you stood at the gate till the moonheams
Had queuchri all the stars with their light.
You came back with cheeks glowing crimson,
And ey,-'a,hrs uiitering with tears.
And smile, which, halt sad. halt triumphant,
still over your sweet mouth appears.

Or praise the wild roses perfume,
Or speak oi our arbors rustic,
Where woodbine and jessamine blooms
sIIe told YOU a story Oh, did he.

While she, biushius, played with the flowers.
