In the year 1907, John Randolph, of
Virginia said to Josiah Quincy Of Massa-
chusetts-"We slaveoWners in the South
count upon the Democracy Of the North as
we do upon our negroes" .
Il is remarkable how stAnd-still facts Op-
pose the theory that there is necessarily
progress. II is not possible TO conceive q
state Of society where there are greater Op-
portunities for learning the truth as re-
CARDS politics-than the North affords.
Newspapers, containing rs much as . small
volume, are sold daily by hundreds OfthoIs-
auds for the price Of the paper upon which
they are printsd-exposing the subject in
every possible manner-frOm past history,
from present xPerience-through speech
es, correspondence, leading articles, with q
reader, in which nothing is left unsaidi no
quotation, too, cOnTIcting Southefh
politicians out Of their own mouths, is mu-
tilated; no statistical information abbrs-
waited or distorted, but the whole truth as
regards slavery aud slaYehOidlng arrayed
its ruinous effects on the destiny of the
working-man, its devastation of human
liberty in all relations and aspirations
its imbeeility in art aud science and in the
very soul of the age, labor-ereating ma
chineTy; its resolutions OF land; its insatia-
Bile appetite and necessity for more terrific
ry to I'LL with slaves and OYerseers, with
chains and bloodhouuds; its uniform con-
troll of the politics of the country, filling
Offices from the chief magistrate down to
the tide waiter; its culmination ofinsolenoe,
brutality and VillaIny, in seeking to doom
all the workingmen of the North to the hor-
rors of bondage. These all are ns perfect
ly displayed, as much as the sun in the

age the STAKEHOLDER; and the slave-tFadtr
with Africa-to confirm him in his domi-
neeriug brutality, to strengthen his red
handed treason, and to sustain the darkest
doctrines Of the dark ages. b.
What, too, are We to think of the State
OF the landowners? OF the men who
work, who read, who think but who have
failed to neutrallze the dsluge of city scum?
Do they, because the administration has
not realized popular hopes, and see, as be-
fore the election, that slavery is slavery,
that wrong is wrong, and that such eclipses
OF the intellect grieve liberal minds, every
wellwisher OF his race. five had not an
abiding faith in the goodness and mercy Of
GOd-that He, in the long cycles Of time,
works grandly, sublimely, and sloWly-that
millions of years are required to build the
stars, which once polished into beauty and
glory, WhiFl in their measured orbits for
golden gears so beaten out that they seem
70 cover eternity-we should falter in our
hopes of the nation, and believe that be-
stial appetites, aceursed avariee, Internal
tyranny, were an OveFmatch for the gentle
and the generOus-fOr the bOdy's dignity,
and the souls ecstaey. But We accept the
issue as made.i We believe some hallOWed
prophecy of enduring truth and liberty IN.
derlies this check and defeat; and we con-
fidently await the day of the nations de-
liverauee from bondage and from shame
