Ohio legislature for the repeal of the
Black Law; the effeot of which was, to
make the testimony of a negro equal to

"J do not admit . that the repeal of the

Democratic creed thtt ALL MEN ARE

and the extension of tin principle to the iVV

We charge the Democracy with voting
for Gov. Chaa for U. 8. Senator, and
thus indorsing his silver pitcher letter,
whioh declares "disapprobation of that
clause in the Constitution which denies to
a portion of the colored people the right
of suffrage.''

mix their blood with them with as little
compunction in regard to propriety and
decency, as is abserved by the Leasts of
the field. No Black Republicans are to
be found in the South, and hence all the
amalgamation and hlidinou equally with

es white and black blood with at much
zeal and steadness as an Ohio farmer does
that of white and black hogs., In the
free States, where the Republicans were
greatly in the ascendant, in 186G, there
were but 56,649 mulattoes, (and two-thirds
of these are the original product of ton
CUbioHge between the Southern Democrat
ic slaveholders and their ebony wenches)
while in Virginia alone, there are 78,775
25, 120 more than in all the five Stales
together! Tell us, Mr. Ohio Democrat,
who are the are the amalgamationisls?
Who are for regro equality of the basest
sort?
We charge the Democracy, by their
afDIIiaiion with the Ai olitionit-tsaod Free-
Soilcrs of 1848, of being in favor of every
article in their bleed, viz; negro suffrage,
negro oaths against white men, negro ju
rymen, negro marriage, negro schools in
common with whites, negro officers, from
President to Constable, and negro cquali
ty in all things.
We charge the Demooiacy with ,enter

editor of tho Ulno btatesman, anil VJon
gre'seman fibth the Columbus District, who
while at Home, wrote a book extolling the
African race, commencing the ''eloquence

Southern Democrats. Does the reader
want proof of this? If so, please read the
annexed resolution, whioh was regularly
incorporated into the Democratic oreed
during the years 1850 to 1852:
Resolved, That the people of Ohio now
as they always have done, look upon slave
ry as an evil, and unfavorable to the devel
opmei.t of the spirit and practical benefits
of free institutions, and that entertaining
tnesa sentiments, tbey will at all limes
feel it to be their duty to use all power
clearly given, by the terms of the nation
al compact, to prevent its increase, to miti
gate, and fioallv eradicate the evil.
FINALLY ERADICATE THE EVIL.'
Is this not tntra-Abolition ground? The
Republicans propose uol to extend slave
ry icto free teriitories, and to let it atone
in tho States where it exists, but this res
olution of the Congoeu of former days,
boldly proposes to "use all TIIE POW

tion when passed, was hipocbitical; it

Soil vote of 1848, and then thiown aside
when it was necessary to XSTCOURT
AND OBTAIN THE PRO-SlaVKRT CoKOO YOtkj
or rim South ih 1856 and i860.
We charge Ike Democracy with being
at one time, notorious Abolitionists, and,
at Another, of being villianous pro-Slavery
men. Tbey were at the first category
when lliejr repealed the Black laws. In
In 1848, and for five successive years,
passed anti-Slavery resolutions in their
State Conventions.
But, they have boeu generally pro-Slavery.
Abolition has only been nn exception
to the rule. They have always been in
favor of acquiring Slave Territory. They
annexed Texas and repealed the Missouri
Compromise; introduced Slavery into Kan
sas, and now go for the Dred Scott decis
ion, which reoognizes slavery everywhere.
We charge the Democracy with being
in favor of WHITE SLAVERY; ofreduc
ing every man to bondage who is poor,
because the leading Democratic paper in
the Union the Richmond Enquirer
clearly and distinctly avows the doctrine,
and no Democratic Convention, or news
paper, or speaker, ever dared to ropudiate
the sentiments of tho Enquirer. Poor
while Democrats! lloarkon to the fearful
words of Mr. Buchanan's organ in Vir
ginia. . ,
"Make the laboring man the slave of one
man instead of ihe Slave of society, and be
wo'd be far better off.".
''Two hundred years of expnricnceshow
all free laborers a pauper banditti. Free
society has failed, ' and that which is not
free must be tulstiluttd.
''Free toctely is a monstrous abortion, and
slavery the health, beautiful, and natural
being which the; are trying unconscious
ly to adopt.'. . -
"The slaves art governed far letter than
the free laborer of the North are governed.
Our negroes are not ouly better as to
physical comfort than freo laborers, but
their moral condition i better,
"We do not doubt the theory that Ham
was the ancestor of the negro race. The
Jewish slaves were not negroes; and to
confine the jurisdiction of .Slavery to that
race would be to weaken its scriptural au
thority, for we retd of no negro slavery in
ancient times. Slavory, black or white, is
necessary.
."Nature has made the weak in mind or
body slaves. The
wise and virtuous, the brave, the tlrong in

to equal rights. It would be far nearer the
truth to say that some were born with sad
die on their back, and other booted and
spurred to ride llumand the riding does
them good. They need the whip, the reigns,
the tpur.
Life and liberty are not inalienable.
. The Declaratitn of lode
pendence is exuberantly false and falla
cious." Read the following from the Charleston
Standard, a Buchanan paper;
"Slavery is the natural nJ normal con
dition of the laboring man, whether WHITE
OR liLACK. The great evil of Northern
free society is, that it is burdened with a
servile class ot Mechanics ar.d Laborers,
unfit for self government and yet clothed
with the attributes and powers of citizens.
master and slave is a relation in society as
that oi a parent and child, and the North
ern States will have yet m introduce it.
1 heir theory ot free government is a delu
sion." . .. . .
"The truth is, that all men are not born
equally freo and independent, but equally
without freedom and without independ
ence."
On the same subject, bear Robert Wick-
life, of Kentucky, a late distinguished
Congo Democrat:
"How improved will be our condition
when we have such WHITE NEGROES
to perform the servile labor of Europe, of
old England, snd, we would add, of New
England; when our body servants and cart
drivers, and our street sweepers, and our
shoe blacks are whito negroes instead of
bluck? WHITE
NEGROES have this advantage over black
negroes they can bo converted into vo
tors.'' . . ,
According to theso precious Congo ex
tracts from the Con fro Democratic press.
"Slavery, Whit or Black, is tho natural or
normal condition of the laboring man;''
'MECHANICS AND LABOKEttS ARE
A SERVILE CLASS UNFIT FOR SELF
GOVERNMENT!' they are a pauper Ban
ditti," who ought to be "the slave of on a
man;" they are "weak in body and miud,"
and "BORN WITH SADDLES ON
THEIR HACKS;" that slaveholders ore
born "BOOTED and . SPURRED TO
RIDE THEM AND THE RIDING
D0E8 THEM GOOD!" iSr"TIIEY
NEED THE WHIP, TIIE REINS, THE
8PUR"-Hjb These are the true sonli
menls of the Southern Congd Aristocracy,
and never hut a Northern Congo Demo
cratic Convention dared to repudiate them!
Tht latter are dumb asses before their
masters, and would suffer the horrers of
the inquisition before they would bray a
word sgainst such derogatory .language.
How do the moelmnios and laboring men
of the North relish such doctrines? Are
they leady to be white slaves to return
to their "natural and normal condition'' df
slavery? Do they wish to bend their
backs and be bettriddea by Wise, Toombs,
Keilt, and such like enemies uf liberty
"because the riding dots tliem good!";
Are they debased enoogh for "iho whip,!
the reins, and the spur? If it becomes
the settled doctrine of the Congo Democ
racy in the North, as it is now among the
three hundred thousand slave holdeis of
the Souih, in fifty years from this tin.e,
slavery will exist in every State in tbe Un
ion, and white slavery will be as common
as nogro slavery. The Dred Scott decis
ion is a great stride in this direction; fur
by it slaves are properly under this guar-
intari nf flio Pnnol Hll t Ifin In fKa Vl.fi. An1
Territories.
We charge the Democracy with affirm
ing with Chancellor Harper, of 8. C. a
"nep;ro worshipper" of their "kith aud
kin" that "it is as roach" the order of na-
1 ture that men should enslave each other.
as that animals should prey on each other.'
Ibe same gentleman declares, that, "Ig
norant Labjreis ought to be Slaves.' For
siys he, "they are sorded, servile and la
horious beings unacquainted with the du
ties or citizenship and u:.able to perform
them?
We charge the Democracy of being in
favor of an order of nobility, founded on
Slavery, because tbe celebrated George
M Uuilli, in a message to the Leeislatnie
of South Carolina used these memorable
words:
"In it word, the institution of domestic
slavery supercedes the necessity of an or
der of Nobility, and all the other append
ages of a hereditary system of gorern-
meni."
We charee the Demociacv Of aimlncr to
build np in this country, a hateful Aiis-
tocracy of blave llolding Nabobs! The
Richmond Enquirer says:
"Xl is not hatred of slavery, it is not
sympathy for the negro which kindles the
resentment and enthusiasm of the Black
Republican party. It is envy of the ease
and affluence of the Southern ecntletnio
and jealousy if the aristocratic character
of our social system which constitutes the
sentiment ot abolitionism.
The Richmond Examiner indulges in
tbe followirig strain: '
"VIRGINIA, IN THIS CONFEDER-
ACY. IS TIIE IMPERSONATION OF
THE WELL EDUCATED, WELL BRED
ARISTOCRAT.
We charge the Democracy with repudi
ating the Declaration of Independence,
ana ot dimming "ibatsiaveiy is the cor
ner stone ol our Kepublican edifice," be
cause one of their great leaders, Governor
Hammond, ol South Carolina, says:
"I endorse, without reserve, the much
abused sentiments of Gov. M'Dufflc, that
slavery is the corner-stone of our Repub
lican odifice; while I repudiate as ridicu
lously absurd that much lauded but no
where accredited dogma of Mr. Jefferson,
that "all men are created equal."
' The Newspaper.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher thus, speaks
of the newspaper, the common people's
Encyclopedia:
"In noolhvr way can so much so vs
ried, so useful information be imnarted.
and under circumstances so favorable for
educating the child's mind, as through a

as that of those renowned Whig leaders
Webster and Clay, we su'j in the opin
ions of both, at different periods of their
livis, in regard to the ex ensioo of Sla
very. The following is an extract from a
speech made by Henry Clay in 18i7:
We ire reproached with doing mischitf

uie, vol, J, page 180.
In 1829, in a similar speech, Henry
Clay asked:
Is there no remedy 1 Must wd endure
perpetually all the undouted, mischiefs of
a state of slavery, as it effects both the
fi.ee and the bond poriions of these S'ates?
His latter utterances were in the same
direction
He sppealed to Kentucky to
n - -i r
insert in its new Constitution a clause for
tlo gradual extinction of Slavery in that
State. And in the heat of the Compro
mise debates cf 1830, when id his inter.se
anxiety for peace, he went as far as Lis
conscience would permit in concession to
Slavery, bedeolared again and again that!
he would never vote to extend it over ter
ritory now free. He said:
As long ss God allows the vital current
to flow through my veins, I will never,
never, never, by word or thought, by
mind or will, aid in ndmiitinrr to one rood
of Free territory, the Everlasting Curse
of Human Bondage.
Daniol Webster, in his f.imous speech
of the 7th of March, 1859, when he was

In a speech in the United States, Senate
the edme year; he had occasion to discuss
this same question of property of slaves,
in its application to te Tciritories:
The real meaning, then, ot Southern
gentlemen, in making this complaint, is
that they cannot go into the Territories of
the United Stales earring with them their
own peculiar local law, a law which crea
tes property in persons. It
will not be contended that this soft of
persona) slavery exists by general law.
It exists only by local fute.
And wherever thai local law does hot
extend, property in persons docs not exist.
Well, sir, what is now the demand ou the
part of our Southern friends? They sajr,
"we will carry our local laws with ns
wherever we go. We insist that Con
gress dors us injustice unless it establish

of whom are natives of the United States.
On the 3d instant ah expedition was
fitted out from tbe port of Truiillo, for the

According to the report before as. there
were at the capiure, some seventy men,
besides Gen. Walker arid Col. Rndkr.
The exacted number was probably seven

after which the expedition was orgatilzed
There were eight officers.
On the 21st of June the entire party,
with General Walker in command. left
Ruatan for thb Island of Cozumel, off tht
coast of Yucatan, where arms, ammnUl

Thence they sailed again on the 27ih for
