Editor Gate CITY - 1t becomes the
duty of every loyalist who can speak to
the great mass of the people, to bo at
work. Pro slavery conservatism is still
casting its dark shadows over our land,
and still clings to it's former advantages
with determination worthy of better
cause. 1t is organized and has declared
its Presidential candidate almost Z year
in advance Of the election They may Ia
Dor hard for political aggrandizement, but
they are contending for principle also,
and that principle is slavery-the same
principle that made South Carolina an
aristocratic State - the same principle
that dictated literature for dozen States,
and that finally forced them into rebsllion.
They hold to the doctrine that some men
are born to dictate and command, while
others are born to serve and obey. This
has been the great argument of the op.
pressors of the poor in every age. II thi.
monstrous doctrine be true, and servitude
shall fail to be forthcoming from the AT.
rican race, whore must it be had /? Evi.
IDENTIFY it must Be performed BY the poo,
whites. Those Of small means should re.
fleet upon this, and the rich, whose pos
tefity may become poor. should mediate
upon this fact. If this nation il oyerrur
by power whose chief cornerstone i,
slavery, what may oil those expect whe
have not permanent wealth They mus
certainly have feeble hopes Of thepros
perity Of future generations.
Mr.. Davis. Of Kentucky, is . fair rep
resentative Of conservatism. His lat,
action in Congress, urging the immediat,
exchange Of white prisoners, was not from
his peculiar love for them, but he desire,
the Government to declare that blacl
soldiers were not entitled to the sam
personal right Of protection a. other col
diers. because they are black. We cau
