are endeavoring to extend into Kansas.
The South Side Democrat (Va.) said
ave have got to hating everything
free, from free negroes down and up,
through the whole cataogue-free farms,
free labor, free society, free thinking, free
children, free schools, and all belonging
10 The same school of damnable isms -
But the worst of all these denominations
is the modern system of free schools.
The New England system OF free schools
has been the cause and prolific source Of
all the infidelties and treason that have
turned her cities into Sodoms and Co.
morrahs, and her land into the common
nesting places of bowling bedlamites.
We aJominate the system because the
schools are free"
The Washington Union, the national
organ of the Democratic party, speaking
of the free settlers in Kansas, said
They are a miserable, blear-eyed
rabbe who have been transferred, like
so many cattle, to that country"
S. W. Downs, formerly Democratic
Senator of the United States from Louis
lana, in carefully prepared speech pub
lshed in the Washington Globe, said
81 call on the opponents of slavery to
prove that ,Chite iaborerS are as happy,
As contented, or as comfortable as the
slaves Of the South. In the South the
slaves do not suffer one tenth of the evils
endured by the white laborers of the
North. Poverty is unknown to the
Southern slave, for as soon as the master
Of the slaves becomes too poor to provide
for them, be sells them to others who
can take care of them. This, sir, is one
IF the excellencies of the system of
.lavery, and the superior condition Of
he Southern Stare oUer the ,ehite IaJorer."
Language similar to the above may be
.ound in the New York Herald, and
other opposers of aboitionists at the
North.
Senator Clemens, of Alabama, decIar-
ed, in a speech ia the U. S. Senate that
the operatives of New England are not
as we'll situated, nor as comfortably off
as the slaves that cultivate the rice and
cotton fields of the South"
In speech by Mr. Reynolds, candi-
date fer Congress from Missouri, be said,
"The same construction of the power
IF Congress to exclude slavery from a
United States Territory, would justify
he government in excluding foreign
BORN citizens, German and Irish as well
Is niggers."
L. II. Goode, of Missouri, in a speech
against the free state men of Kansas,
denounced the laboring men as ''white
laves."
Senator Butler, of S. Carolina, in
peecb in the U. S. Senate, said /:
"Men have no right to vote unless
hey are possessed of property, as re-
uired by the Constitution of S. Caro-
na. There, no man can vote unless he
wns ten negroes, or real estate to the
alue of ten thousand dollars"
In reference to the murder of Keat-
,g, an Irish waiter at Wizards hotel, by
Ion. Philip 7. Herbert, the Charleston
tandard said
"If white men accept the office of
rentals, it should be expected that they
i'll do so with an apprehension of their
,lation to society, and the disposition to
lbmit quietly to encounter both the re-
and the liabilities which the
.lation imposes.
In other words, white walters are to
,pect no more protection by law, than
10 slaves-that is, none at all"
The Alabama Mail, in commenting on
le same says:
at is time that waters at the North
ere convinced that they are servants,
I'd not gentlemen in disguise. We
,pe this Herbert affair will teach them
1t is easy to see that in nation that
lows a lordly caste of Shareholders,
ho already assume airs like these, the
cation of a caste of white slaves is in
itable-nay, is already in process of
ming into existence.
The murderer of Keating escaped
tho9t punishment, because the mur-
red belonged to the servile caste. He
Is only waiter!
