The Dollar Dealer,
For 1860.
NEW VOLUNE-NEw TYPE.

For twenty years the "Cleveland Plain Deal.
er'' has been owned and controlled, Published
and Edited by the same individual. It has
never missed publication day nor scratched a
Democratic Ticket. It has fought its way sin
gle handed against all opposition until it has a
National circulation and National reputation
From Maine to California the Plain Dealer is
known and read, and it never was in so good a
condition pecuniariy, or in better plzck, poIiti-
cally, TO fight the battles of Democracy than
now. For the coming year it will be particu-
larly devoted to Popular Sovereignty
It has against high authority, dared to advo-
cate the right of "the people of tei ritory as
well as State, to regulate their domestic in
situations in their own way" and it will contin-
ne to do to against said high authority, "the
world, the flesh and the devil" Against all
Lecompton Constitutions, slave codes, and the
re opening of the Slave Trade, this Paper is
devotsdly dedicated from this time, henceforth
and forever.
"Come one, come all This rock shall hy
From its firm base as soon as ."
Besides the current News of the Day, the
Plain Dealer will contain in each number a
TALE, Correspondence from best of Contrib
utors, and Telegraphic Reports from all parts
of the World.
The Commercially Department will he under the
sole charge of James Brokenshire, Esq, who is
acknowIed to be one of the best market report
ers in the country.
The Local Department will be presided over
by that original and laughter provoking genius,
" A-temus Ward, ESQ.," whose Letters, Jokes,
Oddities and Qualities, are alone worth the
price of the paper. In short We are prepared
to present one Of the best and neatest and
cheapest family Newspapers in the West.

temptation to foreign war, which, by em-
ploying turbulent spirits abroad, leaves
them less leisure TO raise connections at
home. Reduce downthe colossal strength
of the free States to standard at all sim
liar to that of the slave States, by Il sIlita-

may yet experience the operation of this

III his speech of the sixth of March last
in favor of territorial slave code Mr..
Brown, CT Mississippi, grows rampant in
his eulOgics of Slavery. he asserts that
as "physical being" the regro is more
prosperous in state of slavery than in.
any other condition; that they do the ne=
gro no wrong by reducing him to state
of slavery. Mr.. Brown and his co-Gdjutors
constantly find it convenient to represent
this controversy as entirely one-sided, as
| if in fact it concerned the interests Of the
negro alone. Without pret; n ling that we
can be absolutely indifferent to the tears
and the blood of the poor slave, that we
can steel our hearts against all compassion,
that we can change our blood into that of
Bengal tiger, re yet assert, ever and
always, that it the interests OF the white
man which we desire to defend and
maintain. Why do not gentlemen meet
us on this ground? Mr.. Brown and his
cOadjutors are bound in fairness OF logic
to go further and show that we ought to
prefer the interests of the negro to those
| of the white man. That, unless we are
| tame enough and humble enough to pass
into the new Territories, to be the object
of contempt 1.-THE naughty master bypur-

master, whose aggressive arrogance forever
forces this ebony controversy upon us, and
| whose language towards us is the reverse
of cOnciliHtory. They ought in fairness to
prove that we, the mighty millions
of the Anglo-Suxon race, ought never to
| pretend to the SlighteStinnueuCc on the dcs-
tiny ofthc great Continent, but oughttO leave
that destiny to be entirely worked out by
