A German View of American "Democracy."
OrTftl the exile wham tho European rcvolu-
tiou has brought to our shores, none wields so
trciicknnr, merc'lcss and independent pen a
Mr. Charles llcinzcn, now K litor of a weekly
journal in tins city, called iheJU'tai. A radical
demo, rut, speaking riht out what he think on
every subject, avowing hi opinion on religion,
literature, politic, or individuals, with perfect
coolness ai d ImlitTcrcneo to the opinions of tho
majority, he necessarily often shntk the feeling
of his reudcis and nuikca foes whero he might
ii.uko friends, lut lie alio often tells tho truth.
In n lecture, recently delivered ut Cincinnati on
the subject nfl'urk, Mr. Ilciniicu was led, sp.
parcntly hy tho association of ideas, to roview
the policy and platform of tho Loco-I'oco Con
Tviitior. at ILdtimora. From this part of hi
remarks no below traimltito at sntuo length, not
only for tho benefit of whom it may concern,
but nUo to show that the Germain in this coun
try aro not all disposed to gr it blind for the
sham Democracy. Hero aro tho words of Mr.
Heiuzen ; let those cry out w ho are hit by them t
The fact thut tho " Democratic party" of
the first republic in the world ha, in the face
of the world-ruling Czar, and in the year
l.Vj, made Ihe repression of agitation ngaitist
Shivery a lending article, of its platlorm this
lad ha iu my eyes something no horrible
mid saddening, that it would be lolly to cher
ish any further faith in Immunity, were it not
n crime against reason to doubt it. But 1
anticipate. Permit me tu cast n glance into
the past. Slavery, a you know, i as old a
the human race. Tho first slave wa weak
wouiuii, nml she doubtless will be the hist.
Among savages, to this day, the wile is Ihe
leeogui.cd slave of the, husband, ho regard
her iu the light of a mere domestic nuiuial.
Tho slavery of men began with war, mid in
the history of war u trade nt murder it
certainly is n iiiuik of progress. For origi
nally the tide was, tu put all to tho sword, to
liriko no piisoners. At a later period it was
discovered that the victor could employ the
vuuqui.-du d to hie personal advantage, it he
grunted llieiu liliyiuil f,om that time he made
theui slave. Tins oiL'iu of Slavery, as it
existed among the Creek uml Koinmi, also
mdeed mining tho aiici.mt tiermaiis, had nt
I''"1 " up pea ranee of right iu it favor. For.
l-'riml the rihl in man tu put an enemy to
death, uml it lollow that Ihe voluntary spur
mg ol lilu hy thu victor may be viewed a a
rightful mean of obtaining n property in him
who was spared. Later still, tliu progiess of
mankind opened another uml u civilized
method of obtaining tin l ight ot properly.
Warriors becumu simply rolilier, who stole
pcacelul men who had done Ilium no injmy,
mid brought them to the trader, whom they
hud injured (till less. The trudcr examined
not the r'fht of the mnn-stenler, he examined
his wre hi two legged entile he loimd
them worth the price he paid the price mid
claimed who will dare dispute the title? a
human Iwing na his, nml tought, neither iu
the riiihtsnl love nor jwreiituge, n foundation
for the claim.
Thu have we renrhed the prosaic ground
of North American Slate Rilil "Southern
Bights" nud Northern Democracy." The
ancestors of Ihe Democrats purchased their
iiroMsrty in human heings honestly nud
liotiornbly purchased it purchased it gen
tlemen mid citizen, with no protest from
owner or advocate with reedy money in
deed, cash down, in silver ml in gold for
nt that limn lalse hank notes were not j'niul
ollerwiird ltd .rocriy, thus honestly ac
quired, bore young like the wine uud in
crensed nml multiplied in accordance with
lows of Nature and the conunmid of Scrip
ture fi.r this humnii property hu this excel
lence, tlmt it without etliut on the ptirt of
the owner doe not remain n dead capital,
hut interest by it own action ; so, that pro
perty bore young property, nud the young
properly again yuungcr, down to the present
hour.
(jctitleninn, you nre no Communists, nml
know that property is sacred. And if pro
perty in thing i sacred, how much more so
must he that in man 1 Tin is the basis of
North American Democracy, end thu Con
stitution stand upon the same side. For
there i not n word in the Constitution which
decline that stealing men and trailing in
men me crimes; and that which is lint for
bidden by thi! Constitution, nccording to the
platliiru. of thu Democratic Convention ut
llaltiinon i left to the several Slate ; so
that we, il we should pickle negro flesh, uml
make sausage of m-grii children, would in
no respect net micoiisiiiiitioually. I chal
lenge Jou, gentlemen, to show me n sinulu
paragraph in tho Constitution which lie bids
any good Democrat the ptivih'gc ol slaught
ering, ronsliiig mid pickling the negroes.
No doubt some will say that North Amer
ica emancipated herself n few dozen J ear
too soon from liughuul, or otherwise she
would have been included in that act ol Par
liament which put mi end Iu slavery in the
British Colonic, nt nn expense of .0,(JU0,
COO; hut in that case what would have be
eoniu of the North American Democracy ?
Iu tlmt ease it would l.avo been impossible,
for 1.CC0.CC0 slaveholdei women mid chil
dren included m have lorded it over n re
public of a.lOCO.OOO of men ; we should have
seen tin slaveholder ill the Presidential chair;
perhaps nominating eoiiveuliomh would not
have been invented; wo should never have
heard of the slave-catching I iw, nud the
bloodhounds would have been shut up ill the
stall instead of the editorial room ; wit should
have had no llalliiuoro Platform, nud the
Democracy would have wanted the real soul
nml actual boml of it unity. I.'nivetsal his
tory is, niter all, but thu history of human
blindness, d'leeks mid Persians, Itinui.u
nml Caitluigeuiaii, Ciclph nml Uhiheline,
Protestant Mid Catholics, llu.-sians mid
Turks, (ierniaiis and French. I longariaii nml
Austrian they have loiighl lolhodealli be
cause the true means of unity escaped ineir
blindness. Had they known the secret of
Noi il,-American ' Deinocraej ," Vitij might
have made n compromise, n slave-catching
law, &.C, mid established it as n (nudity ( nml
then would iin'on huvu forever been plueed
upon a firm tiiuuilaiioii, and 'eternal peace"
would have blessed I louu.iiiiy !
Tliu history of Ihe North American Union,
if we penetrate downward to the punclum .i
lion, i u histoiy of the progress of slave
hohling. Alter every revolution, thu reac
tionary element o tho state lit. ds some new
point of erystalizatiou, from which il make
it preparation liir future rule mid draw to
itself nil kindred reactionary liuce. Thu
reactionary erjlalizalioii point in North A
incrica has always been the holding ol slaves,
mid this ha gradually seized upon mid made
it own nil other reactionary elements. Jis
progress ha been monstrous, unit like nil
other reaction, it will never find u stopping
pi ', i ii il it has overcome nil opposiiiou.or
i itself completely overthrown. This is us
certain as the succession of day nud night.
The menus of it progress lie mainly iu the
Constitution, nml its most zeidou minions
nre the Hunker Democrat. It mightiest,
mid in it-consequence, most important, re
cent victory i tin. slave catching law ; and
in case Mr. Pierce should become President,
the slaveholder would seek nut merely to
rule, but tu subjugate the Union. Much has
been said ot the danger tu which the Union
is exposed ; I u.ii of opinion llial it never wa
in greater (Linger thai, just now, for the great
danger to tho Union lie not iu attacks upon
her Slavery, but iu thoso upon her Freedom.
Let ii look n littlo closer ut thu sign of the
tune a they exliil.it themselves iu the doings
of the B illiuioru Convention.
Iu tha first dace, of what spirit was this
Convention horn ? In the metropolis of a
Slave State, niter long-continued intrigues
and inachiiiulions, nssemble a number ol so
called delegate, who assume the title of del
egate of tho people bin the majority nre
nothing but political humbugger by proles
ion. The delegate of the people have the
strunge duty to H-rl'orin of making known to
thesuvereign people their own will, that they
(the people) mny benr it well in mind until
the Presidential election. True, the sover
eign people nre lint bound by thi instrument,
hut lut theui read nny real Democratic"
sheet and they will find tlmt whoever adopts
not the derlarntii.il of the Convention lunn
hiiggers us siicred, is n had Democrat nt hot
torn a "triiitorlo the party." And this i
true not only with regard to the candidate
nominated by them, but also in regard to the
platform uml the parly principle, which they
proclaim mid lay Im-Ioih the sovereign pen
pie. Thoroughly to humbug the people uml
to bind tho future vulora lor President per
leclly belbrebmid, the pnrly managers, idler
the Convention, nppuini so-called rulilicatioii
meetini!, that they may in future declare
nny departure liom the decision of tho Cou
veolion to bo a departure from the will of the
people.
For. gentlemen, in tl.o sight of these Con
vemioii limning i mnresaere.j than lu
of the people. The gentlemen at II dliinure
knew, lor instance, Hint tin. will of thH .
jority was iu Ihvor of Cei.eral Ci.a; m,.l
since Ihe will of the people ii law, they.obe
dient to Ihe Ih best of the slaveholder, who
feHred Ihe foreign policy of Cns. chose
Generul Pierce. At ull events a Central.
I am of opinion, indeed, that is mi excel
lent thing for Mr. Cass to have received a
leon for trimming bis sail to every hreeae
and for his zeal for Ihe Compromise but'
more valuable i the lesson which the people
huvebcen tuught as to the democracy ol
Convention and the unrestrained rule which
the slaveholders exercise iu all the affairs
of tho Union.
Well, then, the candidate selected hy the
Cm
.iiuveniion Hrn the Northern Mr. 1'ieree Iu
cotijiinclion with i'ip Souihern Mr. Kintf.
No prophet on earth, nol even one single
(iermali hunker newspaper, had ever tbouuhl
of Ihe obscure Mr. Pierce, who was scarcely
know u out of hi own family circle. Yet, no
sooner is lliia Mr. Pierce put forward ns the
candid ite, then, ns if hy imigic, he at one
blow become one of the great one of the
purth fill) a large space iu oil true "demo
cratic heart, nud the deiith mid mint v nf
Ihitir love tor hi... lH-coiielxion.il-. In
Germany, they trull Ibis sort of thing servility,

it I fidelity to party. And if the Convention
Humbugger hml nominated the Kmpcror
Sonlouqiie, or King Guiwi of Dahomy, n
their caiiiliilale, every real IVonoeral would
have been Is. mid from thai moment to love
him as the father of hi country. Only lei n
President he secured safe on the point of
"Southern Bights" nud " Northern Spoil,"
mid nil i accomplished which n good parii
san nml bad republican tan wish. Fiat
pm.ict et pertut re.i publico !
As head of n family, etc., General Pierce
may he n very respectable tiuiti. This, how
ever, is more importance than all else, that
he, ns n politician, i nil iiienriiate represen
tative of" Southern Itiuhls," or n cypher lie
litre w hich the slaveholder may place such
integers ns they please. South Carolina has
not t. anted her approbation even to Fill
il. me, who ha (.'one a dr ns tl.e Inithest in
the niattei of slave-calehing mid lieiit.ultly ;
but with thi General Pierce, who voluntari
ly, in n letter, to thu Convention, declared the
Vumprumine iiu-nsttrta identical with lite Cunsli

J In, gentlemen, eoiiiprohe.-.il within itself
the harshest sentence which wa ever passed
upon the Democratic party. It is the ban of

is Russian. The conseipiencc of this act,
should the prevent ho eallcl I). .eracy coiiio

men, 1'ie .pieslmu will lie upon victories ol a

Should conflict arise, it will be said the guilt
lie in the agnation against Shivery, and thi

We have been no littlo surprised at the silence

Tho paper to which wa have referred we

ourselves, wo have something better to do, thau
to commend the eloquent mouthing of anti
slavery whero it U done expressly to pervert
men's conscience, and'' seduce them from the
cause of freedom. The slave has no avowed snd
sworn enemies who during this campaign will
do more to perpetuato his sorrows, than the
misguided men who preach anti-slavorv s th

Speak out brother Editors. If you think us
impertinent, w hsvs only to say that our the

Mr. Clay's Will.
Some of the papers have endeavored to man
ufacture any amount of indignation agsinst Mr.
Uiddiugs snd Mr, Osrrison and others, who
hsvs ventured to suggest that Henry Clay was
not altogether the mora than saint ths Divin
ity, which his eulogists have been pleased to
represent him. If any defence of their course ia
needed, it is lo be found, without search, in the
fsct, that slave-holders north and south hi
political friend and enemies have all united to
represent hira as tht divins apostle of liberty.
When ths fsct is, that no man who has figured
in our national history hae done as much to
render slavery irradicnblo from our soil, no man
has done as much to extend its area and to com
bine the government and all the people in iu
existence and support. Whatever eUe he may
have done, this hss rendered his sdrent and ex
istence among us a cslamity and a curse to the
nation as it has also been to the slave whom
ho bos personally held Ta bondage and be
queathed with their chains to his posterity. A
life, the niighlcst efforts of which, were devoted
to thi. accursed object, is now represented ss
resplendent with virtue, and crowned with
mrtyr-like devotion to freedom. Uy thus fal
sifying history, deceiving snd corrupting our
people, and teaching tho hoarts of our youth to
beat with love and veneration for the apostle of
slavery, as tho demigod of liberty, they hope by
his death to more effectually establish tyranny,
than ever he has douo by his long life of devo
tion to its interest. In viow of all this it dots
not becoino tho friends of trutii and freedom to
bo silent. To bo silent at such a time is to be
fulse to truth, to freedom, to msn and ta God.
Mr. Cluy died as he lived, a slave holder,
claiming the rigt of ownership of human be
i.ig and exercising that ownership, over, we
ki ow nnt how inut.y, men, women and chil
dren. Tho mo.t stupendous crime which man
can perpetrate Some years ago hi. slsves were
ssid to number sixty souls. Whother they
have increased or diminished we do not know.
Djuhtlrss they have increased unless the slave

no act or word to mark his penitence or regrot.
uu on the contrary has left a will bequeathing
the crime to his posterity.
On Monday tho 12th hist., this will, wsspro
preseuted in court for record. It is dated July
10th, 13 )0. Iu regard to his slaves it beoucaths
ull bom before IS jt unconditionally to his fam

This lust provision, will doubtless be repre

cient to obliterate all post guiit of slave holding
and sluvo extending. But whst is it Only
this, that all the infants born of his slave moth
ers within 17 months previous to his death shall
bo emancipated in the vigor of their life in order
to be exiled from their friends and their native
land. Such tender mercies are tho refinement
of cruelty.

A Token of Gratitude.
From the Pittsburg papers we learn that Mr.
Du.ncxsoji, a talented young gentleman of
color, of Cincinnati, has for some time past been
exhibiting in Pittsburgh, a painting of ths Oar.
den of Eden. Tho picture says the Gaxette, 'i
7 by 4 feet, exceedingly chaste, and so carefully
executed that il Inoka well at any distance. Mr.
D. was offered $300 for it by a gentleman of
Cincinnati." Other notices also commend it as
the work of genius :
At the close of its exhibition In the city, Mr.
Vashon. on behalf of the artist, and in the pres.
ence of thoso in the Hall, in a very neat address,
presented it to the Ilov. Charles Avery, as a
testimonial of respect and gratitude, for hia
munificent friendship towards the colored peo
ple of Pittsburgh and Allegheny. The Gaxette
adds : "Mr. Avory wa taken quite by.urprise,
and seomed lor a few moments at a loss what to
ay but after slight demur, he accepted il
with wnrmly expressed acknowledgment, for
the compliment."
Mr. Avery ha. exponded a large amount of
money for tho establishment of an institution of
learning in Pittsburgh, for tho benefit of tho
colored people And it was in reference to this
charity, that this splendid tribute of gratitude
was thu. delicately paid 1dm, by Mr. Duoca.
