RAcy,
The War a Rebellion Of Capital
Against Labor, to Enalave
the Laborer.
What the Southern Democrats think
cf Northern Laboring Men.

This war is the 1abcring mans war; q con-
flct between free labor and slave labor. Shall
tie North be subjugated to slave labor, or
the South to free labor? The sla7eocracy
and their Copperhead apo1ogists at the North
claim that the South represents sapika!, md
the North labor; that the South Is the capt-
1slist ar the North the lAbore1. By slavery
the South means labor; by Shareholder, 1t
means capitalist; and by slave, 1t means Ia
borer. That labor and slavery, and laborer
and slave are one and the same thing, is the
peryading sentiment of the South. Thus,
the report of theVicksburg Commercial Con-
Gention, In 1850, says:
"Sla.x4Y u nothing n.cre than labor o5eyisy
unchecked, anngsslGted, irresponsible capital"
The following law governs labor In every
slave State:
"a slave Qsborer)i is one who Is in the pow
er Of the master (capitalist} to whom be be-
longs; he can do nothing, earn nothing, and
er, {tne cspitallot,) and he is chattel, per-
sonal in the hands of his master, to al In
tents. constructions, and purposes whatso.
ever.'
This Is the idea of rebeldom in regard to
labor and the laborer. This war Is an effort
Of the slave. driving capitalists to enslave
the 1aborers Of the entire nation aud conti-
nent. For forty years they have 1abored to
bring the nation to regard labor as slavery
and labore1s as slaves. Now they are light
ing to rsduce the laborers Of the nation,
white as wall as black, to slavery. Laborers
OF the North, here Is the proof:
