LABOR AND 1Ts DEMOCRATIC
FRIENDS.
Said that eminent Democrat, Toombs,
of Georgia, at Atlanta, the other day,
in a speech ratifying the Democratic
nominations
I will give you another fact, which 10
enough for this time, that ~ the late war was
produced BY the Democratic party in 1850.
90 we shall never have peace till tits restored
to power in 1858.
And then what? Their hoped for
peace means not only the re-enslave-
ment of the black race, but the contin-
ucd degradation Of all labor, irrespee-
tive of color. The white freemen, the
working masses of the North, should
never for a moment forget the deep
seated hostility Of the Democratic Aris-
tocracy to free labor Of any kind what
ever. In 1886, in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, Mr.. Piskens, Of South Caro-
lima afterwards Governor of that State,
when, in 1860, she attempted TO secede),
said !:
There never was q society where q class
would not practically and substantially own
another class in some superior form. :.
All societies settle down into capitalists and
laborers. The former will wi the latter,
either collectively through the Government,
or individually through q state OF domestic
servitude a. exists IN the Southern States.
The only contest in the world IL between the
two systems.
Pickens was and is a leading Demo-
crat. Governor Hammond, another
good South Carolina Democrat, when IN
Congress in '52, denounced Northern
mechanics as "mudsills." He too
wanted slavery to be restored for the
use Of q glorious aristocracy'"
In 1866, Governor M'Dufie, another
sweet blossom of Democracy, declared
in Congress that:
The existence Of (white) laborers and me
| chanics in organized societies was the result
Of the partial and progressive emancipation
Of slaves.
The Democratic journals in the South
have systematically denounced free So
ciety as ia tremendous abortion"
Read a few samples Of their opinion Of
labor, whether white or black, as fol-
lows:
Free society. as at present organized, Is
radically wrong and rotten to the core:
Slavery IL not only natural Of origin and
| right, but IL essential to republicanism.-

Slavery is moral religion. and ID natural ma e.
Southern States justified the holding Of white
men in slavery. The principle Of
slavery Is in itself right, and does not depend
on difference Of complexion, and
that is the doctrine maintained by the whole
Southern press.-Richn,ond (Va.) Enquirer
(DemocrGtic).
Senator Mason Of Virginia said the
free States were really the seryils
States" The Same Hammond declared
the only difference between the white
and black laborsrs to be that "the
negro is hired for life and well compen-
sated," and the " white slave is hired
by the day, not cared for, and scantily
compensated" Keith. Of tho same
State, declared /" free society a failure"
And this elegant gentleman, a distin-
guished Democrat like all the others we
have named, also said:
"Ths ordinance Of God" he said, " con:
dennis mankind to labor, and certain mental
occupations are incompatible with mental
cultivation. Slavery produces q superior
class Of gentlemen, who are substitutes fof
an order Of nobility"
Rufiu Of Virginia, that good Demo
crat who fred tho first gun at Sumter,
in his book on the "Political Economy
of Slavery" proposes to reform "the
hireliug labor " of the North. Another
Southern Democratic author, Fitzhue,
thought q white slave would be worth
about $500 more than a black one. His
Democracy was crystallized in his favo'
rite maxim, "Liberty for the few
