Ben. RutIer,s POlItIeal Statas.

a Washington correspondent says
that General Buffers declaration for
Lincoln and johnson, N published
letter to Cameron, excites wide atten
ton. OF Lincoln he says " Whatever
may have been or may be the prefer
ences Of any man as 70 any person for
the Chief Executive Of the nation, or
dissatisfaction with the course of the
Government upon matters Of mere adj
nlinistrative zeal, even in important
points of administrative policy as laid
down in the platform and foreshadowed
in its acts, it seems to me the plain
duty of every loyal man to support the
election of Lincoln and johnson" y
After adyerting TO the repugnance
many true Democrats feel TO the radical
anti-slavery plank in the Baltimore
platform. he concludes "Some differ
emit systems of labor must be devised
for the Southern country in the future,
and peace upon any terms even the
acknowledgment of the Confederacy,
cannot prevents it. If lam right in this
view of the subject, and upon this con
viction / have acted since / saw the
fact in Louisiana in 1852 then what is
there in the Baltimore platform TO
which any true, loyal Democrat, who
loves his country and is determined to
fight, if need be, for its integrity and
honor, cara object? see nothing; but
in the changes so rapid in administra-
tive policy made by this war, no one
will tie himself to any party or party
platform. Ihave but one article in my
political creed at the present time /
am for a sharp, thorough and decisive
prosecution of the war, until the au-
thority of the Union is acknowledged,
and its laws obeyed upon every foot Of
soil within the boundaries of the United
States.

The right to govern is claimed Tor the

The same writer adds that too much
4 liberty is The great evil Of our age, and
the vindication OF slavery ia the bess
corrective Of the spirit Of lawlesa lcen-
/ tiousness that threatens 20 snbvert So
ciety." Among the books which have
been read largely at the South are
those by GEoRgE FIrzHgeH entitled the
Failure of Free Society" and "Canni-
balls All" These volumes are warm
and earnest in their advocacy Of slav-
cry, and have done much toward firing
the Southern heart and precipitating
the nation into war. In the first Of
these books, Alr. FgzHUeH says
We deem this peculiar question of
negro slavery of very little Importance.
the issue is made throughout the world
on the general subject OF slavery in the
abstract. HAM, a son of Moan, was con
demned to slavery, and his posterity
after him. We do not adopt the theory
that he was the ancestor Of the negro
race The Jewish slaves were not ne
groes, and to confine the justification
of slavery TO that race would be to
weaken its scriptural authority, and to
lose the whole weight Of profane au-
| thority, for we read Of no negro slavery
in ancient times.
What the wealthy men of the Cotton
States feared was the rising aspirations
of the people. In the north, free edu-
cation was accorded to all; and hence
nearly all her leading minds came from
the laboring population. This, they de
termined should neyr occur omong
them, if they could prevent it. They
ever despised the people. In 1851, Mr.
Garrett of Virginia, wrote to Mr. Pres
colt of South Carolina, in the following
style:
Sin case of South Carolina seeding,
/ think the federal government would
use force, commencing with blockade
of Charleston. Ifyou could only force
the blockade, and bring them to direct
force, the feeling in Virginia would be
very great. Eastern Virginia is strong
ly in favor of the right to secede, and IS
with Carolina but the west has only
| 10000 slaves to 494 600 whites; there's
the rub. Members from this portion OF
the state talk strangely, and | have
been panied to hear them. In this
body / have appWeheusions as well as
hopes. You will object to the term
democrat Democracy, in its original
! philosophical sense, is indeed incompat
ible with slavery and the whole system
of southern society. If the general gov
eminent should succeed, southern civ
ilization is gone
IN November the working men Of the
north are called upon to pronounce a
verdict upon the question involved in
the above extracts, and we candidly
ask: will they be found endorsing the
allies of these men, who are open enc
mics of themselves? Or will they stand
by the party of freedom aud protect
their own rights, and contribute to the
cause Of universal liberty.
