Read It Again

A few weeks since we published the füllowirig: but we want it read again. lt is f rom the. Charleston Courier, aleading VVhig paper of the South. It is Whig testimony to the existence, perpetuily and sjjpremacy of the Slave Power. See how the Norlh becomes n mere conquered province, while the Southern Slavelioldors spread themselves through all the machinery of the Government, and control it to their will ! "Again. of the six Southern Presidents, five wero rc-elected lo their high office, and each occupied it for eight years, and only one, the present inciimbent, will have occupied it but four ycars, giving, in all, to the slaveholding interest, the possession and control of the Presidency tor fort -four ycars out oïfifty-six, while of the four non-slaveholding Presidents, three occupied the Prcsidency but four years each, and one, the lamentcd Harrison, only a little month, giving, in ali, to the non-slaveholdii)g interest, the possession and control of the Presidency for only twelve years. out of fifly-six. So of tne Chief Justice of the Union, the South has liad three, (RuUcdge, Marshall and Taney.) and the North but'Vzt-o, (Jay and Ellsworth,) out, offive incumbents of that nugust judicial seat. At this moment, the Southern, or slaveholding interest, enjoys a monopoly of high federal office - executive, judicial, legislativo, military and naval: John Tyler, a Virginian, is President, and his cabinel consistsof John C. a South Carolinian, Secretary of State;' Ge&. MÏ Bibb, a Kentuckian, Secretary of the Treasury; John Y. Mason, a Virginian Secretary of War; C. A. Wickliffe, a Kenluckian, Postmaster General; John Nelson,a Maryíander, Atlorney General; and William Wilkins; a Pennsylvanian, (the single exception on the list,) Secretary of wav; Robert B Tan Ry, a Marylander, is Chief Justice of the United States; William P Mangum, a South Carolinian, is President of the Senute, and John W. Jones, a Virginian, Speaker of the House of Rcpresentatives; and Southern men stand at the head of most of the important commitiees of both branches of Congress; Winfield Scott, a Virginian, is Mojor General of our army, and James Baron, a Virginian, senior officer of our navy; and to crown all, HenryClay. a Kenluckian, is the Whig, and James K. Polk, a Tennessean, the Democratie candidate for the next Presidency, securing to us the future as well as the past. If this be not the lion's share of political power, words have lost their meaning - if this be not enough to satisfy the South, she must be insatiable indeed."
