Ma. EDIroR;-However singular 1t
nay appear to..the candid and impartial.
it is no less matter of fact that some of
nv Democratic Ieighbors assert that they
are opposed to the extension Of Slavery,
and yet intend to support Stephen A.
Douglas for the Presidency. In order
however to give the color of consistency
to their professions and practices, they
boldly assert that there is no danger that
sny more Slave States will be added to
the Union; affecting to believe that free
men from the New England and West
ern states will rush into the territories and
make them free under the banner of Pop
ular Sovereignty. Magnanimous patri-
otisrn, indeed! They are willing, then,
TO have the free laborers of the North
pour into tho territories, and make them
free against the combined efforts Of the
Government and the Slave Power to
make thom subject to slavery. They are
willing to expose the free laborors to tho
inhuman sceles enacted by the slavery
propagandists in Kansas, in order to emit
tie them to the privilege of tilling the soil
fable to compete with slave labor, array
ed side by SIDE with the white mans eff
forts to gain likelihood, in case the
friends of slavery extension become strong
enough to outvote them in forming .
State Constitution.
Such wonderful love OF the white Ia
bsrer for his fellow, IS really refreshing
Bat still. rs they say they are opposed to
slavery, suppose at least it must be ia
ken for gantsd that they really think they
would like to be esteemed as opposed to
the extension of slavery, and yet belong
10 the great, the wonderful, the tremend-
uous Democratic, slavery extension and
squatter party. For it is an awful party
"a huge party-a perfect suck-good-pap
party-a crawl-on-tEe-belly -to-Southern-
policy p.rty-a one idea party: and that
enc idea gracious gift from Shareholders
from nabobs and aristocrats, whose
craftsmanship is measured BY the amount
of their threats of disunion. o, the DEM
ocratic party! How can patriotic and
intelligent sovereign elector live outside
of the pale of the Democratic party 3
Would it not gall his pride, though !
Would it not suffocate his free breathing,
his deep breathing, and his breathing al
together, Serious and alarming might
be the consequences, if a regular Demo
cratic partisan should stray away from
the party folds of the demagogues and
political gamblers by whom the treasure
of the nation has been squandered-the
elective franchise been polluted and cor
rupted-ths energies and prosperity o
the nation been crippled and rendered
comparatively inefficient aud abortive.
Vote for Douglas and yet opposed t.
the extension of slavery! Are you seri
Gus when you 50 assert, gsntlemena
think you must be joking. Why, MIR
Douglas don't care" he says. "whethe
slavery is voted up or voted down" il
the free territories. Well, if you ara op
posed to slavery extension, and will vot
for the Little Giant, be don't care whethe
yon are thus opposed or not. ALI that b.
wants of you is your vote, in exchang
for which if you want his influence TO
non extension of slavery, he don't car
if you do.
o, Democracy boosted Democracy
With what wonderful facility and ski
dost thou lead thy admiring followers t
political infamy and degradation.
