DEMOCRACY AND NEGROES.

Wherever tie Armies Of the United State:
penetrate the dominions OF jeff. DAVIS, tho
slaves leave the plantations of their masters
aud escape if they can to some region where
they hope to enjoy liberty.
This was at fret denied or doubted, but is
now universally admitted. All the Richmond
prpers have proclaimed it, and are urging the
necessity OF ordering every slave to BIO driven
southwark wherever and whenever the Union
forces advance. They say that many masters
have weakly iancied that their slaves were "a
attached to them that they .ould not run
away; but experience dispe!, that illusion.
Wherever the Union armies appear, there
Slavery 10 practice disappears.
This vas generally true prior to the issuing
Of tho Presidents Proclamation OF Freedom.
This document has confessedy increased the
iendeucy so that the Richmond journals now
sal for general transfer Il slaves from the
districts north and east TO those south and
west of the Rebel capital.
As ia the East, 70 in the West. Many Of
our commanding officers, being Intensely Pro
Slavery, have hitherto contriyed practically to
surrender fugitive slaves 10 the Rebels who
clam 10 be their owners. They often do this
by simply turning the hunted negroes out OF
their camps, knowing tina. the hunters stand
ready to catch aud shacse, gag, sbduct and
fog them, the moment they are deprived Of all
loyal protection.
The Presidents Proclamation OF Freedom
seriously intericres with THE nefarious BUSH

after the lat of January next.
The first limo Of Uuion deftnses for traitor
slayeholding will then DO broken; so the anti
War Democrats are constiuciin, another line
behind it,.
The object Of this line is TO starye the
slaves of Rebels back Into slavery, or 30
menace them with starvation that they will
not dare TO run away from it.
Peace Democracy insists

III. That slaves escaping from the Rebels

What, then, shall they do. but return to
