The party In Favor OfHuman slavery
There is undoubtedly PrO-Slavery par
ty here in the North, and that party is the
so-called Democratic party. Under the
pretense Of devotion TO the Union under
the Constitution, and of opposition to the
particular mode in which war is being car
ried on. they conceal Whist is really the
foundation of their party principles, name
", desire to have slavery established as
the law of the land, Though possibly un-
willing to publicly avow their pro-slavery
tendencies, yet the whole spirit and ten
dency of the Democratic party is in favor
of the re-establishment of slavery. They
talk about the Union as their only condition
of peace, thereby admitting themselves
rsady to give new guarantees to the insti-
tuition of slavery, not only to establish it
in the Ststes, but also in the Territories.
The Chicago Convention assembled in the
interest of this pro-slAvery rebellion
Alexander Stevens, who declared that it
was the object to found a confeder4cy
whose conversions should be slavery, says
Of the Chicago Convention:
$50 far as its platform of principles
goes, il presents q ray Of light which un-
der Providence may prove the dawn of the
day," So "This cheers the heart, and to-
wards it I could almost exclAim, Hail,
holy light ofspring of Heaven; drst-born
of the eternal, o6-eternal beam. May l
express thee unbalanced, since God Is
IghtP" -.-..
Now why this satisfaction and rapture
on the part of this pTO-slavsry rebel, Ste
vens, if he did not detect something of
the same spirit in this Chicago platform?
Indeed he regarded it as apart of the
fruits" Of a movement in the Georgia
Legislature declaring that the conditions
for peace are the recognition Of the rebel
slavsbolding empire and an acknowledge
mont of the sovereignty of the States.
The issue between rebels aud loyal
Union men is whether this Government
ahall be conducted in conformity with the
time-honored doctrine that the majority
should rule, when expressing their will
legally and in the constitutional forms,
or whether q minority, devoted to human
slavery and determined 10 make it the law
Of the land, shall revolutionize the govern
ment whenever they may see f. to do so.
The democratic party are found on the
side of the minority. They are on the
same grounds as the rebels themselves,
and their success must result in the re-
establishment of human slavery. And
this they will do whether reconstruction
takes place OF the independence of the
rebeIhous states bs acknowledged.
How then can any man who loves free
dom and hates slavery be found in SYM
patbJ with modern demooracy2 Indeed
it cannot be done 1t is out of the impos-
sibIlities
As Secretary Chase said, the Opposition
Gwant Union, with slavery established in
the territories, and guaranteed there
They want Union with the right of
holding slaves in all the States guaranteed
there
They want Union with the right Of
passing through the free States with slaves
guaranteed to the South.
To preserve these guarantees they want
q dual Executive"
This pro-slavery Democracy is known
by the loysl men of the land. The people
realize that the contest next Tuesday in
wolves the whole question of Freedom and
Slavery The one party stands ready, to
patch ups Union, TO cement the Union Of
these States with human slavery. They
sre willing to make it the law of the land.
They are ready to make the attempt to re-
verse the civilization and Christianity Of
the age, if such thing be possible, and re-
store organized barbarism in their places.
A party that has not sufficient manliness
to say a single Eond on the subject Of sla7-
cry in the platform which they adopted at
Chicago, cannot by their ominOus silence
conceal their real ends and aims. They
were unwilling to commit thsmssIvsS IN
the Chicago platform in order that they
may the more easily, when the opportun-
ity arrives, perpetrate their crimes against
Freedom and civilization. The rebels in
the South and their allies in the North are
the only slavery prOpagandists yet left in
this country. The defeat of both is the
death of slavery -.--
