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.

I -''He matters of domestic policy closely con
in my judgment, with the growth and
'Wy of our great Commonwealth
While the utmost care should be observed not
to disturb the vast business interests of a Com
monwealth so rich and of such diversified pur
suits as ouf own, yet it cannot be denied that
oars, the richest Commonwealth of its extent
in the world, has not kept pace in the develop
ment of her resources and in productive indus
try with some of her sister States. We may,
therefore, without the charge of rashness, in
quire if oftr policy could not, in some respects,
be made more comfortable to the spirit of the
age, aud more in harmony with the wants of
an ever active business enterprise.
In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me to ten

assigned yon.

Progress of Negotiations Between the
Bnchaniers and Americans.
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.

DIED,
On the morning of the 3d Inst.. Mrs. LTDIA HELEN,
wife of H. Lawrence Scott, of this place, aged 28 years,
3 months and 28 days.
In early life the deces-ed embraced religion) and united
with the Baptist church, in Owego, N. Y. Her many
amiable qualities not only greatly endeared her to those
most intimately related to her, hut also won the esteem of
all acquainted with her. And while she had much in pos
session and prospect, to attach her to the scenes of earth,
yet when Death appeared, sudden as was his approach,
she was found possessed of Christian priuciple, for she
died—as she remarked—happy ! Her husband, parents,
•and friends, while they deeply feel their bereavement,are
Comforted by the assurance that she isgoue to that happy
Home above, of which she delighted to hear and to talk
in substance as the poet sang—
My Father's house on high,
Home of ruy soul! how near,
At times, to faith's foreseeing eye
The golden gates appear !
I hear at morn and even,
At noon and midnight hour,
Tlie choral harmonies of Heaven
Seraphic music pour.
O, then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love—
The bright inheritance of saints,
My glorious home above ! COM.

While this paper will be conservative In its tendencies,
and independent in its dlscussious, it will be heartily in
sympathy with the great political reforms .proposed by
the National Republican movement of 1856. The aggres
sions of slavery a- a political power, and the efforts mak
ing to give it a national endorsement as a part of the con
stitutional law of the Union, will be firmly resisted, while
It will maintain, in all their integrity, tbe rights of every
portion of our common country. The policy of the Free
States must be self protection ."not aggression, and It will
be the aim to carry this out in a fraternal spirit.
The Times will contain a large amount of original, edi
torial. and miscellaneous matter, correspondence, Ac.,
carefully arranged, with express reference to making it
a popular and interesting FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
The price of the Times being so low will permit it to bff
put in the hands of every family in the community.
