Mr.. HELPER will deliver bis lecture on Two Sys-
tenn Of Labor" at Clinton Hall Mercantile Library
Building, on Monday evening, the l4th inst AZ Ia
well known, Mr.. Helper comes forward "a the advo-
cate Of the rights Of the white laboring man In the
South and against the Africanzing policy Of the slave
holders and their awes and turbulent supporters, the
negro thieves "a We may with proprety designate the
advocates Of the Slsve-Trsds.
Although the Republicans have, as q cass given
more ready heed to Mr.. Helpers doctrines still hs dis
cpes are by no means confined TO either one Of the po
Iticsl parties. Mr.. Charles o Conor IL generally re-
garded ss a sound Democrat, but in his recent Pine
street speech he out for the Helper doctrine that
this continent Ia for white men. SO Abram s. Hewet
a, Tsmmapy Hall on the 9Th inst, is reported to have
said that tho free, working men wanted this
country ~ far south a. Virginia, Kentucky and Mis-
souri,, and they would have it." Good Helper doc
trine; but be did not 20 far enough.
II would be well for those who have derived their
notions Of Mr.. Helper from the misrepresentation,
earcatures and fOrgeries Of certain journals IN this
city to 20 and hear what he has to say for himself and
in tehah Of the nonslsyeholders 20 far from having
sought to stir up heated strife, Mr. Helper has always
appealed 10 calm reason and reflection. He would not
pubsh his views during the excited campaign Of 1856
but waited till the Spring Of 1857, 80 as 10 find the
people In condition to this subject He then
published HE book, with this truly prophetic title,
"7he Inn ending Cribs Of the South" That crisis 10
now upon them, and the South must determine very
soon how 10 meet it." The sborng men In ali psrs
of the country could they fairly understand the matter,
would meet it as Mr.. Helper does and ssy-Not foot
of eoil 10 the degradation Of Slavery!
