M.'Pt respectfully, Your ob't Scrvnnf, C. G. HAMMOND. Auditor General.SitireYy and D.micmo:, - The RichnvW ,uter3 the fullinvjag trilt fi: Properly niid s!ric:ly speaking-, thcre is no siich thing 11 the whole Southern country, as' j a Dcmocrat, unless he be at war with the injBtitiilions tbnt stVrround him, There is a total nnd irrcconcilable hostility bet ween a slaveholdrr and a Domocrat. Tlje fundamentul principie of the lattcr i?, thal all men are equal . The former camiot hold such a principie, nríthóui giving the lie to it by dnilv prac-' j tice. If ho lioid suo'ü sentiment he has to' suppress it, nnd in subseryience to lus ntereji, enoct the constant hypocrite. The Northern' on' the córitrary, actsup to his inlefcsts, w'licn he acts out his convict;ons of briiversnl èpnafitj, Disgnise it as they mny,' !his radical diflorencepervades thóse wlio calí themselvèa Dcmocrats, at the North and South; and whcn the southem Van Buren men i or Locos become in realry Democrnis, they eannof, Dnd'will not, any longer tolérate Slavêry. For THR SYSTEM OF SLAVERY is' AT WAR WITH DE1I0CRACY; and those' nt the South who are novv giv'mg aid and countenance to what is cnlled the Democracv of the North, are.in eill'Ct doing all in their power to subverl the eocial in'stituiions of tho South. A Northern Democrat, unless he be as great a hypocrite as a Foülicrn slaveholding' Democrat, must abhor Slavery.'The Spnnfcñeld G.izette, spéaking of the Christian Freem'an, say?, "can'some one of llie Reverend tiio of Ediiors inform ns why . the Whigs come in for a' muc'h largor sharo of reprobaron than the loco-focos?" Yes. On the snrne principie thst a christa'n Öhurch has more ' reason to gnard again'st the adm'ission ofartful hypocritef, than open nfidels. The Demo-' crats don"t ask abolitionists to help them, on' the pround of their obolitiondoinifs. But the Whig3, ninoleen-twënlieths of them, run up their flug for a' pravehólding President, and then fawri around Liberty men, and beseecta Ihem to vote wifh them on account of théié' Anii-Slavery cl?aiacfer. - Charter Oak,' A Good Report - Mare Progress. - The' Constitution of Michigan is disftgured by thflf word 'wiiite,' placed before the woid 'inhabw tants' - thus dii-fraiychtsing' -t'ie colored popu-' la'.ion of that Stute.
