The democratie party having found itself out stripped in Jtí40, by the Whigs, in serv.le competition ior southern votes, lor ihe last year has siopped at no measure calculated to win back the iavor of the overseers of the South. Volunturi ly, U seems to haye taken upon itself the curse pronounced upon the serpent- "upon thy bellv shalt thou go, and dust shalt tbou eat all the duy ot thy hfe. } Sometinie before the action in the New York Legislatura, Mr. Toler said in the logislature o Virginia, "that probably as the demócrata, the natural alhes of the South, were nuw in the as cendant in New York, they miglit .epeal tho ob noxious act of the New York Legislatura." lo this Mr. Baily replied, that he had already writicn to some of his iriends in New York su' setting to thm the proprieiy of such a course.- liut, tliey had answere-' it would be uselcss, o they had ascertained that Governor Scward would utter y dieregard any reeolutions of the d-moc racy. I'robably Mr. Baily pïied them agairi, threaten ing then: wal. the displeasuie of their masters- tor, as we shall see in the next anicle.ihe boueh inemals went as far as they could. The democracy bonsts that it embraces the peop!e- the industnous and poorer the men who with brawny muebles earn thoir bread by thé swcui of their brow. Have these n.en. allowine (hem tobedemoerats,cver thought of the estima" tion tn wluch they are hold by their elaveholdini; allies? We have half a notion to publish a lon nrticle we wrotc more than n ycar ago, entitled the -Monstrous Alliance and its Results " in which we Bhowed lioin iheslaveholder'sown hnguagé.-how utterly he dispises the workivg man ef the North. Meantime, let the fuüowing extract from an article in a Knoxville (Ten.)iu une wno ñas witneesed the ufter decradatiop, ot what is termed ihe lotesr class of so cietyia out Northern states, riotbing can anpe;„more supremcly ridiculous than their religiou zeal for the improve-ent of the conHition of the southern sla ves. True, siavery does not o. is. in name, but that is all. 'Ihe con.l.tion of a laree pon ion of the population of New Yon. nnd ma ny other nor-hern eiates, sworsc in a fcurfold logree, than the sinves of the southern planters l iiey Dbcy a masrer fa. more tyrannical and over bearing ond wear the galling chain of siavery with iüe JuJ wasciousnei? tbat tke wnatjtutioaconfers upon them the same privileges that are cxercised by tht-ir rnastere. It is but a mochen of Ubtrty. The condition of more than one half the population of the f ree States thai are engagcd in commcrcr. and manufactures (wc mean of ihat class who are called servants or whore the name is considcred objectionablo, -'hJns") would be nfinitely impróvsd m a morul and anciil point of view, were they to make an exchango of situation icx'.k the sontkern slaces. The south have just tbe eame right. and ar more rcason to interfere in favór of the northern siaves, as the north to interfere wiih the 'peculiar mstitutions" of the south."
