Locorocoism and Slavery ! XORTHER.Y ME~\, R EAD A.YD PO.Y DER . Ex-Governor Hammond, of South Carolina, and now a United States Senator from that of course a leading member of that party, and who txpresses the political senti ments of Locefocoism in the South, delivetcd a speech on the -Ith uit., in that body, report ed in the Globe, iu which ho expresses the well-known Southern contempt for the free white laboring tuau of the North. Bead, Northern 'Freeman, and see what you ate •thought of by the Southern influence in whose 'hands-Buchanan has placed himself : L-YBORINU MEN BUT MUD SILLS. In all 9oeial systeius*there must be a class to do the menu duties, to perform the drudgery of life— that is, a class requiring but a low or der of intellect and but little skill. Its re quisites arc vigor, docility, fidelity. Such a class you must have, or you would not have that other class which leads progress, refine ment and civilization. 'lt "constitutes the very mud sills oj society, ami of political govern ment, ahd you might as well attempt to build a house in the air as to build cither the one or the other except on the mud sills. Fortunate ly for the South, site found a race adapted 'o that purpose at her hand. A race inferior to herself, but eminently qualified iu temper, iu vigor, in docility, iu capacity, to stand the cli mate, to answer her purpo.-c. *We use them for tin purpose, aud call them slaves. We are oldfashioned at the South yet; it is a word now discarded by ears polite, but I will uot characterize that class at the North with that term; but you have it; it is there; it is everywhere; it is eternal. NORT'IIEHN LABORERS ARE BUT SLAVES. The Senator from New York said yesterday * that the whole world had abolished Slavery.— By the name, but not the thing; and all the powers of the earth cannot abolish it. God only can do it when he repeals the fiat, "the pooi ye always have with you:" for im man who lives by daily labor and scarcely lives at that, and who has to put out his Inboi in the market, and take the best he can get for it, in short, your whole class of manual laborers and operatives , us you call them, are SLAVES.—- The difference between us is, that our slave.- arc hired for life, and well there is no starvation, no begging, no wuut . of em ployment among our people, and not ftio much cmployiuiut either. Yours are hired by the day, uot cared for, and scantily compensated, which may be in the most deplorable maimer, at any hour, in any single street, in any ot your large towns. Why, Sir, you meet more beggars iu one day, iu any single street of the city of New York, than you would meet in a lifetime in the whole South. Uur slaves are black, of another, inferior race. The po t-Dion in which we have placed them is an ele vation. They are elevated from the condition iu which God first created them by being made our slaves. None of that race, on the whole face of the globe, cau be compared with the slaves of the South, aud they know it. They aire happy, content, unaspiring, and utterly in x <pable, front intellectual degrcdation, ever to give us any trouble by their a>pua'h us. Your slaves are while, oj your own race; you me brothers oj ont blood. They have your na tural endowment of intellect, and they feel galled by their degrcdation. Our slaves do wiot vote. We give them no political power. Yours do vote, and being the majority, tlwy are the depositories of all your political pow er. If they knew the tremendous secret, that the ballot box is stronger than an army with bayonets, and eonbl combine, where Would you Ih? Your society would be re-cousiructed, ,our government re-constructed, your property divided, not as such proceedings as meeting in parks, with arms in their hands, but by tin quiet proce.-s of the ballot box. \ou have been making war t-pon us to our very Leartl .stones. How would you like for us to semi lecturers or agitators North, to teach these people tiii-, to eid and assist in combining, ami to lead I hem. Mr. Wilson and others—send them along. Mr. Hammond —You say send them North. There is uo need of that. They are coming hero. They are thundering at our doors for homesteads, of one hundred and sixty acres ot laud for nothing, and Southern Senators are supporting it. Nay, they are assembling, as 1 have said, with arms in their hands, and de- i umndtng work at §I,OOO a year and .six hours a day. Have you heard that the ghost of Mendozji i< stalking in the streets of your big cities; that the inquisition is at hand? There is afloat afeaiful rumor that there have been consultations for vigilance committees. You know what that means already. Transient and tempoiary causes have thus far beou your pres ervation. The great West has been open to your Surplus population, aud your hordes of scud-barbarian emigrants, who are crowdiug in year by year. They make a great utove ment, and ydu call it progress. Whither? It is progress, but it is progress toward vigilance committees. The South have sustained you lu a great measure. You are our factors.— You briug and carry lor us, § I 50.000,U00 of our money passes auuually through your hands. Much ot it sticks; all of it assists to keep ! your machinery together and in motion. Sup- i pose we were to discharge you; suppose we were to take our business out of your hands; we should'cfot'.sigu you to anarchy aud pov erty. This is not very flattering to Northern me chanics aud laborers, says the Heading Jour nal—not exactly the sort of speeches wo hear from 'Democratic' orators hereabouts, but it expresses, nevertheless, the true sentiments of the Democratic leaders iu regard to the labor ing classes. It is only because laboring utctt it) the North have votes, that Northern Loco foeo orators do not iudulge in tire same lan- : guage. It will bo noted, aiso, that the Sena tor characterizes the Irish att'd 'German emi- ; grunts as "semi barbarians." Aud this brings i in point a severeTiortie thrust, given by Sena- j tor Wade, of Ohio, in reply to Hammond's J speech, lieplyiug to the tauat of the South j Carolina Senator, that Northern free white la- j borers arc no better than slaves, Mr. Wade I said: "As to the degraded class alluded to by the \ Senator, he admitted their existence, hut he 1 con feuded that they were mostly foreigners ' the sweepings of the Old World, ignorant and vicious, but nevertheless good democrats, and the principal supporters of slavery in the North. Slaves iu their own country, they naturally at tach themselves to slivchoiders in this." Senator 11 AililoxjL), df South Carolina, cer tainly wrote himself down an ass, when he made ; his insulting allusion to free mechanics an 1 j working mcu. Lite i'hiludeiphia Press, after I aliuding to tire fact that among Mr. ll's. Sen atorial •pceis' aud auditors were Mts rs. Don '- las, of 111., Wilson of Ma.-s., Oamcron, of IV, i and Johnson, of Cento, all formerly mechanics., j also quotes the following manly language of Senator Uroilsrick, ot Califortiit, as to his own j and his father's history. iid Mr. D: "I > pose, sir, the Senator frotu South Carolina utd ! not intend to b e personal in his rematks to any of hts peers upon this floor. If 1 had thought i so, I would have noticed them at the - time. I am, sir, with one exception, the youngest in years of the Senators upon this floor. It is not long since I served an apprenticeship of five ' years at one of the most laborious mechanic d trades pursued by man—a trade that from its i nature devotes its folio ver to thought hut de ! bars Litu from conversation. I would not have alluded to this, if it were not tor the remark of f 'he Senator from South Cat china, aud the thoj ! -.alios who kuow that L am the SOD of an artisan and have been a mecii nie, would feel dissp p.iiuted in me if L did not icply to him. iam | uot proud of this. lam sorry 'tis true, i would • that 1 could have ouj.yed the pleasures of life | iu my boyhood's days, but tbey were deuiei to me. 1 siy tiiis, with pain. I have not the ad i miration for the men of the class frotu whence j I sprtaig that might i>e expeeted, they submit too tamed i, to oppression, ate too prone to neg lect their rights and duties as citizens. Jiut sir, the society to whose toil I was born, under our form of Government, will yet eontrol the destinies of this nation. If I were inclined to forget tny connection with them, or to deny that j I sprung from them, this chamber would not |bo tho place in which 1 could do either. While i I hold a seat here, 1 have but to look at the I beautiful capitals adorning the pilesters that i support this roof to be remiuded of my father's | talent, and to sec his handiwork. Senator Cl-ARK, of new Hampshire, in the course of a speech delivered in the United Slates Seuate about the same time, thus alluded to a Revolutionary "mud-sill." '•ln the Revolutionary war, a blacksmith X>f New Hampshire gave his services to the State. When speakiug of the amount due to him for there services, his father said to him: 'The State is poor, do not ask for your mon ey now.' Aye, the sum due him stands on record in the Capital of New Hampshire, so i many pounds, so tnaiuy shilling*, and his de- j seen'l.Hits arc proud of that record of his patri- j oti.stn. Little did the son of that man (Mr.! Clark himself) thtuk that he would como into this Senate Chamber and hear the Senator from South Carolina call that father a sluve. [Ap plause.] After the noble answers, of Northern Sena tors, who represented the "tuud sills," and "slaves" of Mr. Hammond, extracts from which wo have copied above, it is hardly necessary for us to say anythiug turther on the subject. It appears that some member of the 'Demo cratic party in Rloody Run, in tiife County, thinking that this wholusale denunciation of Noil hem workiugmeu would injure the party,| wrote to the Senator, to inquire as to his uiesti iog and for .an explanation. The followiug is i the rcjly of Senator Hammond, endorsed by the Kedford Gazelle, in which that Senator sub stantially, although somewhat modifies, his re marks iu the Seuate. Here is his letter : DEAR SIR : 1 thauk you for your interesting letter, it is very gratifying to n.e to find that j your good seuae and discrimination led you at ! once'(without, 1 presume, seeing a full and cot | roct report of tuy recent speech which 1 seud you now,) to perceive tho full meaning of my argument. I maintained simply that the con dition of slavery existed every where. That in | the South it was filled by uu INFERIOR race, AT THE NORTH BV OUR OWN SACK and that ' wc of the South did not think white people BSBFOBB maumgxL should bo slaves under any circumstances. Respectfully, Your Obedient Servant, J. EI. HAMMOND. Now, vc contend that there is all the dif ference iu tlio world between u Southern slave, and a free white laboring man of the Noith.— In the Soutli the slave is owned, flesh and blood, bones and gristle and all , by his uiasicr. lie receives his food and clothing, such as it is, only for his work ! How much that amounts to, we have Senator Hammond's own word for, in a speech made at home, for home con sumption. lie cutrcd info an estimate to show that "a field hand could bo supported for from eighteen to nineteen dollars per annum,'' on the rice and cotton plantations LJo has also the privilege, as Senator Wilson remarks, of being "flogged at discretion, and having his wife and childrcu sold from him at the necessi ty or will of hi? master." "There is not a poor house in the free State*, where there would uot'be a rcbetliou in three days if the inmatesAverc compelled to subsist on tity aud quality of the food the Senator esti mates as ample compensation (or the lit bar of the slave in South Carolina." \et, according to the showing of tliU-Sena tor, NORTHERN MECHANICS ASH LABORERS are SLAVES aud MUD SILLS; on the same equality as the SOCTUEKN NEGRO ! This is democracy with a vengeanen ! Nortuern man, how do you like it 1 The Northern man who labors for his.livirig, who receives a fair com pensation for his labor, who acknowledges no taskmaster, who owns his own soul and body, flesh aud bleod and bones, to be compared in sultingly to the Southern Slave ! In this let ter Hammond says that "slavery iu the South is filled -by an INFERIOR RACE; AT THE NORTH BY OUK OWN 11AOE." Iloneat freemen, you that are your own masters, that by your own honest labor support yourselves, your wives, aud your liulc ones, do you hear this arrogant DEMOCRATIC LEADER say that because you do this, you arc slaves ' Dui up on such Democracy 1 Away with it 1 "We will have note of i*," should he the cry* of ev ery honest freeman in the North. Mr. Hammond, no doubt, in making this sweeping assertion in -his speech, and also in this letter, tbit f.ee white men are yud-sills and slaves, that "slavery fs filled ai the North by our own race", had ii< his mind the sand hiiicrs of the Caroliuas ! A mnio ignorant and degraded class does not exist on the face of the earth. They are whites, an-1 lim in tiie most abject misery atid -vice, and have r. o Coo v.' ledge of beaven Xr hell, nothing w is go ing on in the woild,plunder and steal,aud bog; the sanctity of marriage i unknown a" ! _ them they occupy small one room huts'—SffVagca und sexes together. Those are whites ! and. the poor tiegro slaves look down upon them with 1 ity and scorn! What has made them sn?-£ THE CURSE OK SLAVERY! But for this ihVy w> uli bo like the free northern laboring men, who nae among ilie most euligbtcned in the land, and from which class, we might name, Presi i dents and Governors, Legislators and Philoso phers, and persons, enunged iu all the active and useful pursuits of life. In conclusion we woul l call on all free men, all men who earn their living by the sweat af their brows, to submit to this DEMOCRATIC DOMINEERING no lunger. You ARE FREEMEN, DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS to tbe contrary tut wiibstuuding, then ACT LIKE FREEMEN in rid ding the country of the most IIACGATV AND •OVERBEARING TVRANTS that ever held nway ;iu any country. "Make way for liberty ! " ! "SEN&TOK M HKLL A.\i) IYTRI PAY i" The last week's lias an article under the above caption in *ich it attempts to ME j Mr. Scbel! out ®f the respond hlity of his vote ! for the §2OO extra pay ! We gave the correct j statement of his vote in our paper on the lGth I inst, and that tie may not be accused of in | justice we republish IT. It was takeu from the | Legislative 11-tonl: the Senate, on the 7th inst., the question 'of the 3200 extra pay came up Mr. Myer j moved that instead of the S2OO additional pay, the annual compensation shall hereafter he S7OO and mileage, instead of SSOO and utile— j age, as at present—which was agreed to. Mr. j Ely then moved to amend, that the section ' shall not apply to tho members of the present , Legislature Not agreed to—yeas 15, uass ! 16. The question was then lost by \tie vote, 16 to 16—SOIIELL voting yea. Mr. Laid win moved to reconsider tho vote on section fifty-seven, to increase the pay of the members two hundred dollars. Agreed to. And the section passed—yeas 16, nays 14, as : follow, viz : YEAS —Messrs. Bell, Coffey, Crcssif-11, Fin* j ney, Francis, Gszzaiu, Gregg, Harris, Ingram, j Murselis, Myer, Randall, Rutherford, Nchell, Straub and Wilkins—l6 NAYS —Messrs, Baldwin, Brewer, Buckulew, Craig, Ely, Evans, Fetter, Knox, Laubach, Sehaeffer, Steele, Turney, Wright, and Welsh, Spryker —14. It will thus be seen, that Mr. Sehell VOTED FOR THE LAW, which was defeated by a TIE VOTE ! But this would uot suit the Democrat ic Senate, and they RECONSIDERED IT, after it was defeated, and Mr. Sehell had tire power to have killcJ it by HLS VOTE ALONE, as it passed 16 to 14. It would have been killed by a TIE VOTE, 15 to 15, but HE WANTED the money end consequently gave the CASTING VOTE in its favor, and it became a law. Mr. Sehell cannot wrjgg'e out of this vote by a week afterwards offering a motion to strike out what he had caused by his own vote to be passed. He remarked some time ago that ho would like jo have the §2OO extra, trnd because he wanted.%', he voted for it. "The true state of the case is this Mr. i Schell was opposed to giving members of ~TIVK | I'RESENT Legislature my extra pay, but was ill favor of increasing the salaries of members of future Legislatures." Bah! If this'is'cdr rect, Mr. Schell will no doubt hand into the • State or County Treasury the §2OO, which by his CASTING VOTE, ho gave himself, and for the next two years, from personal delicacy, will refuse the §2UO a year. Mr. Jordan and other members of "tli Amer ican party several years ugo, when there was occasion for the increase were abused roundly by the Loco focus for increasing the pay from §J per day to §SOO per session. Mr. Jordan 1 3j'p< a d the increase from §SOO to §7OO, last I year, but it passed that Democratic Legis lature. The last Legislature tv*s also largely Democratic in both bnm<*Uej, and they 'have AGAIN VOTED THEMSELVES alt increase of §2OO, and Mr. Schell gave tlie CASTING "VOTE in its favor as will be seen above, and because Mr. Otsiner voted for it he is to be abused by id.oeolocoistii; aud Mr. Schell—why, he did j what was tight!
