port of its every demand is made the single test of party fidelity, and the only rood to of ficial preferment. The citizen whb dissents in terms of earnest and manly protest against whatever exactions slavery makes, becomes thereby—in so far as the National Govern ment can impose disabilities—almost as mnch an alien and outlaw as is the slave himself. If the freemen of the North consent to occupy such a subordinate position in the government of their country, the spirit of manly indepen dence wiil be crushed out in their posterity. Oar sons will become a submissive aud servile race, stripped of manhood and self respect. The slaveholder, proprietor of the soil and mas ter of the government, will dominate over them with scarcely less of arrogance and pow er than lie rules over his hereditary bondmen. To this condition are the noii-dlaveholding whites of the South already reduced. They have to-day, little more of practical power in the formation of public opinion, and in the af fairs of government than has the slave. The same fate awaits our posterity, if slavery is allowed to monopolize the virgin soil of this continent. It is the inevitable retribution of Heaven on any people that have not the cour age and integrity to maintain their rights. It is not true that the defenders of the rights of free-labor seek the elevation of the black race to an equality with the white. They do not propose the emancipation of the slave, but leave that question both as to time and the mode of accomplishment, with the State in which slavery exists. They wish to deal with this great embarrassing evil in a spirit of friendly forbearance towards those States ; but they do not carry their forbearance so far, as to virtually become slaves themselves—as to sur render the soil aud government of the Nation into the hands of an aristocracy founded upon property in slaves. Free white labor lias rights in the soil supe rior to the pretentions of slavery. The slave holding capitalist claims that his property, i being largely interested in slaves, will depreci ate, uuless the field where'on he can employ it be enlarged. The white laborer, also, lias a property in his labor, quite as sacred and as worthy of the care of t lie government ; and where is the field upon which he is to make that U!>or profitable to himself and fam ly, if slavery shall monopolize the fertile and virgin lands of the West ? Labor is depressed al most to the starving point, in the densely popu lated countries of the old world, because of tlie j narrow field upon which it is imprisoned. The demand for labor is small, compared with j the thousands who-ha re lalior to sell. So it will j be at no distant day in this favored land, un- j Jess we keep our vast public domain as asa- j red inheritance for the free laboring man j and his posterity forever In the sod of our j extended empire, toiling -mas-e- have the ; nlv sure guarantee for their fuiure pr specify j ami independence. This the cupidity of capital i would tln-fa and lyre lies the real j i-sttc that the Slave Tower La< forced upon the country. It for land. 'On the oue side stands the owner of slave property, demanding a field en which to employ his ser vile labor—upon the other side stands free La bor claiming the soil as an knlieriteuce for a free posterity. Central and Western Eurojte, teeming with its millions of pojiulation, is not as large a.s the domain of the American slaveholder. He and his Dotidmen already occupy by far tte* most fertile and genial portion of this Continent.— Let him rest content with his territorial jios sesrions and power. We do not seek to dis turli him. We neither assail nor defend his asserted right to hold this peculiar kind of property. We simply affirm that we have nothing to do with it, and propose to let him and his slaves alone where they are. We make therefore, no question about the aboli tion of Slavery in the South. Wc but stand in defence of Freedom in the North. Kansas is in the latitude of Philadelphia. In geo graphical posit ion it is a Northern Territory. It whs dedicated by solemn compact in 1820 ■ Freedom for ever. We claim the fulfilment the bond. Wc defend the integrity of free Northern soil again>t the cupidity that would Mihjugate it by violence into a plantation for slaves. Much has been said of the dangers involved n tins controversy. We are counselled to submission and acquiescence in the wrong, be ause the wrong doer threatens greater calami beg if we shall dare to defend our rights. Such 'treats are unbecoming to those who make , 'nem, and an insult in those upon whose fears 'hev are expected to operate. Great ques "ions of governmental policy, involving the ve v substance of our liberties, and the happi aess of remote generations, are not to be set d by appeals to the fears of any part of the American people. Reason, and the calm judgment of an en -r!iti ned public opinion, must decide between '•'"emeu—threats are a terror to slaves. Im -irinarv dangers become realities to the timid -to the courageous they Vanish on a nearer approach. So iiere, the only danger lies in (■coming alarmed. The danger is overcome tie day it is met with resolate courage and dermined purpose. The right must prevail, md the wrong must give way. Upon tio other '•asift can the questions in issue ever be perma -ently settled. It is no impeachment of the manly qualities '• our Southern friends, to say that they will tad must submit to that which is just and "ght, when constitutionally embodied in the gislation of the government. Let the free men of the North announce in language firm • d unmistakeable, their purpose to resist the read of slavery, and, at every cost, to pre rve the integrity of the Union, and we shall ve a lasting peace, such as no compromise, itig its foundation in wrong, can ever se re to the country.

The Worst calamity which has befallen Mr. Buchanan—a worse than the rat sickness, or the election of a free soil Mayor at Leaven worth—is the letter to be found in another column, which 11. S. loote—better known to the country as Hangman Foote, formerly U. S. Senator from Mississippi, hut at present a present a political adventurer in California— in which he avows his admiration for and de votion to the present national administration. It was more than the democratic party ia its unbroken vigor could stand, to have Fodte an acknowledged member of it. How Mr; Bu chanan can get along with the Know-Nothing embrace which is proffered him by his old friend, presents a curious problem in political dynamics. The ex-senator assures his friends that the President stands square upon the American platform, as*it is construed iu California, that his cabinet are of the most unexceptionable timber, and that the prospect of a quiet qua ternion for the country is uncommonly good. All this is Very soothing, and yet it is odd that the personal of the new government should lie so exceptable to the party whose principles were so pointedly denounced in the Cincinnati Convention. Have the Americans heeonie Bufhnniers, or have the Buchaniers become Americans, or both ? We pause tor a reply. Since writing the above, a speech made by 11. W. Hilliard, ev-M, C., of Alabama, anoth er prominent South American, has come to hand, in which he avowed that Ire bad gone over to Buchanan "bead and body, limbs and boots," to nse his own expressive testimony.— The question recurs with accumulating inter est. Winch party has apostatized? It will also be curious to see if the Americans and Buchaniers of the North are equally successful iu driving a trade.— Evening Post. ©afTiie Ohio Legislature, previous to its adjournment, passed a bill making it a peniten tiary offence to claim or hold slaves in Ohio, or to undertake to carry out of the State Asa slave any person of color.
