why Southern-Dorn Man Is Anti
Slavery, ......

There was an immense Union war
meeting at Bryon Hall, Chicago, on
Thursday evening, at which Governor
Yates of Illinois, was the principal
speaker. In the course of his remarks
he said:
/ am anti-slavery, not because | was
born in New England, and have my
prejudices against the Southern peo-
pie, but because | was born in the
South; there centre all tho memories
of my yodth-there is the home ofmy
kindred, and | believe that the warm
genial pulsations of humanity flow in
as deep current through Southern
veins as in any people beneath the
sun-but slavery has been tho canlicr
of the South to eat out both its sub
stance and its manhood, and to sub
ject it to n boastful, insulting, AFRO
giant aristocracy, which from the habit
of tyrannizlng over the poor slave,
has become too pampered and AFRO
giant to submit to the rightful author
ity Of good government and laws.
Slavery not only suppressed the Afri-
can race, sundering husband from
wife, and father from son, cXacting
service without remuneration, but de-
grading the poor white man, dcpri.
we'd him of his rights, the wages Of his
labor, divided the land into large
plantations, go that the white popula.
tion was sparse, and tho schools few
and remote. 1t stood as a perpetual
living wall, a black and ghast!y spec

which was pouring from Europe an(
Now England, and which sought the
praircs and woods of tho Northwest
and which under the genius and life
giving energy of free labor and fret
Institutions, has marched forward will
stalwart giant tread to wealth ant
power, while the South, with its fer
| tile soil and genial sky has droopet
and withercd beneath the curse o
slavery. 1t is for the South, as wei
as for the welfare of the country, tha

Small farms, free labor, free schools
