DEMOCRACY AND SLAVERY —NO 1
It is now admitted that the Democratic party
is the only ono ic this country that is national in
its organization and principles. The Republican
party professes to be a northern party only. The
Amorioan party aimod at first to effect a nation
al organization. But the result of Its Conven
tion at Philadelphia, in June last, put all suoh
hopes to (Tight. A national platform it is truo
was adopted by the help of a few northern votes.
But the entire party in the north has siaoe re
pudiated it, and disclaimed all connection with
the American party of the south ; and northern
Know Nothings even vie with abolitionists in the
violenoo with which they assail the institutions of
the south and promulgate anti-slavery sentiments-
Whether they do this with entire sinoerity or
not is not the question. It is enough for our
present purpose that they mako no pretensions
to the character of a national party: and both
they an 1 the Republicans concede to the Demoo
racy alone a national character and organiza
tion Bat with that concession comes a ground*
loss charge that a national party means a p r o
slavery party.
Toe charge is groundless and false, if by it is
moant that tho Democratic party is or ever has
been in favor of the extension of slavery into
territory that before was free. The Demooratio
party of the south is pro Blavery ; and so is the
Whig and tbe American. Bat the Democracy of
the north is neither pro-slavery nor anti-slavery.
It occupies a conservative position between tho
extremists of both sections, and equally opposes
and strives to dangerous tenden
cies of the fanaticism of both north and south.
There was a time when the great mass of all
parties in both sections wore in favor of the abo
lition of Blavery. At the time when our federal
constitution was adopted it was tho general be
lief that slavery io this country would not out
live that age and generation. Jefferson and
Madison were both avowed emancipationists.
At that day it was the general hope and expec
tation that before the middle of the 19th centu
ry slavery would be universally abolished in the
United States. The first step towards it was the
abolition of tbe African slave trade. It was fol
lowed by the abolition of slavery in several of
the northern States. At that time the slaves in
most of the southern States were not so numer
uu9 as to render emancipation a dangerons or
impracticable process. Tbo suppression of the
slave trade would oheck their increase. Slaves
were then of oomp&ratively little value, a good
slave in 1790 not being worth more than $200;
and every thing seemed to favor the expectation
and hope of a speedy and general emancipation.
But events subsequently ooourred that soon
begau to change the sentiments and disposition
of the people of the south on thesubjeot of sla
very. Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin was
ono of tho moot important of those events.
Previous to that the preparation of ootton for
the manufacturer was too slow and expensive a
process to render cotton manufactures profitable;
and the production annually only amounted to a
few thousand bales. But the cotton gin produ
ced a revolution in manufactures, and in South
ern industry ; and tho ootton product has in
creased from a few thousand to more than three
million bales per annum ; and so oheaply pro
duood, too, that the whole world has become its
market. The introduction and onltaro of the
sugar oane into some of tbe southern States soon
became another profitable branch of industry;
and to the production of both ootton and sugar
slave labor {was deemed peculiarly well adap
ted. Slaves and slave-labor consequently rose
rapidly in value ; and the day of emancipation
was postponed. The numbers of slaves increas
ed ; and emancipation became more difficult and
dangerous. As slavery beoame thus more pro
fitable the disposition to abolish the institution
was gradually weakened. Selfishness contended
with the sentiments of humauity ; and the diffi
culties of finding any safe plan of emancipa
tion in States were slaves wero numerous came
to the aid of self-interest.
There is no doubt, too, that tho acquisition of
Louisiana nod Florida, by increasing the slave
market and value, diminished the chanoes of
emancipation. But those acquisitions alone
would never have prevented it; for, long after
their purchase, a bill to abolish slavery in Vir
ginia was lost in its boose of delegates by but a
single vote; and in one branch of the Kentuoky
Legislature there was a majority In favor of a
similar bill. The acquisitions of Louisiana and
Florida wero Demooratio measures, adopted
with no view to extend slavery, for it was there
before ; or to perpetuate it, for it was unpopular
then; but iu the first instance to secure forever
the oontrol of the mouth of the Mississippi and
a commanding position for our commerce on the
Gulf of Mexioo ; and to acquire, for a sum less
thau the present valuation of Allegheny oouoty,
that vast empire of territory extending from the
Canadas to tho Gulf of Mexioo, and from the
Mississippi river to the Pacific coast. Never
before nor since was a more fortunate bargain
made. It gave us, for $23,000,000, the whole ■
western half of tbe Mississippi valley, and the |

' „ *, ft *-*•+
entire oontrol of that river; the command of the
Mexioan Gulf, and an empire of rich territory
wider than any in Europe, Russia alone except
ed. Suoh were the aims and the fruits of that
acquisition. Bpain, in the possession of Florida,
was a jealous and troublesome neighbor, shelter
ing and encouraging tbe Indians in their depre
dations; and we Ohly had peace on our southern
borders when Spain was bonght out, and her
flag had departed from the oontinent. These
acquisitions, while they incidentally increased
the value of Blave property to some extent, pro
duced other results of vast consequenoe to the
cause of liberty and republicanism. To oharge
the Democracy with pro-slavery designs in so
caring tbe acquisition of Florida, Louisiana and
Texas, is as absurd and false and groundless as
it would be to oharge Whitney with suoh a de
sign in Inventing the cottou gin. The same
Democracy acquired New Mexico and Utah,
which arc free and always will be; and Califor
nia, whioh is a free Btate, and famishes us with
the gold that is fast making this nation the msßt
wealthy and prosperous on the faoo of the glebe.
Was it pro-slavery to acquire California with its
untold and exhaustless treasures? The Demo
cracy did it, and it is now a great and free
State. Was it pro-Blavery to acquire lowa and
Minnesota ? Tbe Damoor&oy did it by the Loui
siana. purchase, and lowa is now a great, free
and wealthy State ; and Minnesota a free terri
tory, likely soon to beoome one of the first States
of the Union. Was it pro-slavery to Beoure a
title to Oregon and Washington territories ?
Tbe Louisiana purchase secured them, and they
are soon to become great and free States. Ne
braska and Kansas are large onough to make
ten States like Pennsylvania. Every one of
those States, we believe, will be a free State.
Was their acquisition, as a part of the Frenoh
territory, a pro slavery aot ? It was the very
reverse, as we shall show. The aot admitting
Texas provides that it may yet be divided into
three or four States. When that division takes
plaoe, one or two of those States will probably
be free, for northwestern Texas Is filllDg up
with a northern and foreign population that is
averse to slavery.
All the acquisitions of territory made by our
Government since its organization may bo justly
charged to the Democratic party and policy
Tbo Democratic party admits the charge, takes
all the responsibility, and demaods all the credit
And let us now sum up the result of this Demo
cratie policy of oheap and peaceable acquisition
of territory. Florida, Louisiana, Toxas, Arkan
sas and Missouri are slave States; aod when
purchased, and when offered for admission into
tho Union, slivcry existed in them all. In
Florida and the Louisiana territory and Texas,
thou, slavery existod before their purohaso and
annexation. They were not then made slave
States by the acquisition. Tho institution, as
it existed in them before annexation, has merely
been permitted to remain. None of these acqui
sitions, then, have extended slave territory ; and
have not thus been pro slavery in their tend
ency.
SEPTEMBER 8
Look now at tbe other sido of the case. lowa
State, and Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oregon
and Washington Territories wore secured by
the Louisiana purchase. By the law of the
Louisiana Territory, slavery might be extended
all ever it U was all slave territory. The
territories we have named are large enough
to make thirteen very large States, making eight
out of Kansas and Nebraska, aDd two out of
Oregon; and all these, t/ they become jrte Btates,
will have been just so muoh of what was for
merly slave territory by Law converted into into
freo territory by democratic acquisition and the
oourse of events ; at least converted into terri
tory that wiil in ail probability be formed into
free States. lowa u free. No ono doubts that
Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, and Nebraska
will bo free, into whatever number of States
dividod. The only doubt thon is in regard to
Kansas ; and of that we can entertain no doubt
It will be a free State, and such is the general
belief Bhould it be so, the result of these ac
quisitions will be that territory large enough for
thirteen States will pass from the law of Frenoh
and Spanish slavery, into free States of our
confederacy. California and Utah are each
large enough for two States, and will yet be
so divided. Now Mexico, as well as California
and Utah, wae free fromslavory when acquired,
and remains so, and is largo enough for two
more States.
To sum up, then : Five slave States hAvo
been annexed, in whioh slavery exLted before
the annexation. Other territory enough has
been annexed where the law of slavery existed
before the annexation, to make thirteen large
States, all of which will no doubt be free.
And territory enough has been annexed, free
before and free now, for four or six more States.
Territory enough, then, has been annexed to
make twenty ono or more States of large size,
and that, too, without dividing Texas at all;
and, dividing that into three States, wo have at
least twenty-three Stales out of territory aoquired,
not more than six of them slavo States, and the
remaining seventeen at least, free States. Suoh
is the sum of Demooratio annexations. And
observe, too, not one foot of fre* territory his
been annexed and (hen converted into slare terri
tory.
So far aB its well-known polioy of annexation
Is concerned, then, tbe Demooratio party has
been neither pro-slavery nor anti slavery. The
tendency of that polioy has been against slavery,
and Is likely to resalt in converting large realms,
formerly under slave law, into free States. The
slavery question has not entered into its con
sideration when discussing a measure of annex
ation. It would, if offered, annex the Canadas
and all the British possessions in Amerioa,
where no slavery can ever exist, as freely as it
woald annex Cuba, with its slavery. By annex -
mg the Canadas we would not enlarge tho area
of freedom from Afrioan slavery, for it is free
now, and by annexing Cuba we would not en
large the area of slavery, for slavery is al
ready there.
We shall pursue this subjeot further in
subsequent numbers from time to time, and
show that our party, while national in its or
ganization and principles, is neither pro-slavery
nor anti-slavery, but is based on principles so
broad and deep as to embraoe all the diversified
Interests of our bro&d republic ; and the par
ty so firmly adheros to those groat principles
that no opposition can overthrow it, and no
sectional or temporary agitations or assaults
oan shake its firm faith in our high national
destiny, or impair its power to preserve the
Union, and guide tho polioy of its government.
The following is a portion of tho despatch sent
to the Eastern press in relation to tbe number in
attendance at tbe Passmore Williamson Masa
Convention, last Wednesday:
“Pittsburgh, Sept. 6.—The Republioan State
Convention assembled here to-day. There were
about 3000 persons in attendance, from different
parts of the State.”
The person who sent that despatoh must have
boon in the some oondition we saw one of the
delegates in, on Wednesday evening—he must
have seen doable 1 At no time was there more
than one-third that number in the room, and tho
greater part of these were citizens who just
dropped in for a few minutes to hear Giddings
and Lew. Campbell “gas.”
We intend publishing a s?ries of artiolea
on the subjeot of “ Democracy and Slavery,”
showing tbe true position of our party in rela
tion to slavery; and we Invite to them the atten
tion of our readers. In these days of fanati
cism, and of desperate efforts to overthrow the
Democracy, treth should be made known aod
fairly considered.

Philadelphia Democratic Nominations.—
The Democracy of Philadelphia county met in
Convention on Tuesday and Wednesday, and
mado the following nominations :
Sheriff.— George Megee.
Remitter of Wills.— Charles W. Carrigan.
Clerk of Orphans' Odurt.— John Sherry.
Senator.— Harlan Ingram.
Legislators. —o. M. Leise&ring, John McCarthy
John Thompson! John Honneker! John Hancook,
Townsend Yearsley, Charles Carty, Joseph
Hibba, Fred. Walter, John Roberts, Riohardeon
L. Wright.
The nominations so. far as we are acquainted
with the parties, are all good ones. The selec
tion of Mr. Charles W. Carrigan is a deserving
mark of approbation for that gentleman's coarse
in behalf of the oause of Demooraoy, and we
believe the people will ratify it.
The following resolutions wore adopted by
acol&matioD:
Resolved , That, “ united we stand—divided
we fall; ” that a fusion with any party is det
rimental to the best interests of the Democratic
party, and wonld only teod to divide an united
brotherhood.
Resolved, That this Convention depreoatea
any attempt at fusion, and Instructs the nomi
nees, and oalle upon the whole party to rally to
the sopport of the pure, unadulterated Demo
cratic ticket nominated by this Convention.
A “ Pome.”— We are in reoeipt of a consider
able amount of foolscap, on whioh sundry lines
appear, supposed by the innooent writer to be
poetry, signed “Miss Matty Morris.” That sho
has a perfect right to pine over her condition,
being marriageable, yet not married, we admit;
but that she should throw Jeremiah of old in the
shade by her lamentations, is not so olear ; to
say nothing of the villainous termination of her
verses, which we give below, and whioh might
do well enough for high life below stairs, but
will not win on the same floor with the sanctum.
We advise Matty to transcribe the verses into an
album ; they might do for two eyes, but oer'
tainly not for thousands. Read:
Nuw, pray. Mr —, cannot you flad mo

If you'll try, you can up stairs find a Qian

If so, then to-day, without auy delay,

Matty is thoreforo “ rejected."
It was Gen. Lowia Cass who is on a visit to
his native town, Exeter, N. H., and not Tease,
as tho telegraph blundoringly reported.
The Hon. Charles 8. Morehead was on Tues
day last duly installed as Governor of the State
of Kentacfey for the term of four years. The
oeremony took plaoe In tho oapllol, at Frankfort,
in the presence of a large oonoourse of specta
tors.
After their nomination, the candidates of tho
Philadelphia Democracy pledged themselves to
vote against any forther increase of banking
capital in this State. This is an excellent move,
and one that could be imitated In other coun
ties with profit.
The Demoorotic State Convention of Massa
chusetts met yesterday at Worcester, and nomi
nated E. D. Beach for Governor. A series of
resolutions were adopted, folly endorsing the
National Administration, denouncing Know No*
thingism with much emphasis, complimenting
Henry A. Wise for the bold stand he took against
the secret party in Virginia, and unequivocally
condemning the Maioo Law.
Ko Fusion in Philadelphia
T e Philadelphia A r gus has tor some time
past opposed with great ability tho project of a
fusion between Democrats and old line Whige
for the coming election We find from the pro
oeeJingN of the Democratic County Convention
there that the course cf the Argus Hga been
fully and triumphantly sustained. The Conven
tion passed strong resolutions against fusion,
and in favor of pre-erving the integrity of tho
Democratic party Our party is deoidedly the
sumo way nearly all over the Stale, and is cast
ing tff the schemers who would have destroyed
it by a oorropt system of bargain and sale
Tho verJict of tho Coroner’s Jury, we
thic.k, makes out a olear oase of negligence aod
liability of tbe Railroad Company for tho fatal
disaster at Burlington, Now Jersey. Tbe Jury
evidently favored the road as much as possible,
but it finds that “ the engineer did not observe
tbe rules, in not blowing the whistle, the
brukesman was censurable, and they were
booking too fast." The Jury aUo say that two
tracks are needed on a road doing so much
business. There is fault eoongh to give rise to
heavy olaime for damages.

Tho foreign oorreßpondont of tbe New York
Sunday Courier indulges in tbe following bit of
gossip respecting this renowned actress:
“ Tbe very passions whiob give her each pow
er as an aotresa, make her desires naturally
more vast and violent than those of other women.
She is described by her lovers as being insatiable
and alt-devouring in her passion while it lasts.
But when it oeases, as it often does suddenly,
she is equally cold and heartless In oasting her
temporary husbands aside. The most remark -
ablo of her 1 affaires de cceur,’ both in duration
and, Indeed, every respeot, was that with Count
Walewski, lately Frenoh Ambassador in London,
and now Foreign Minister in Paris.
He is natural son of the Great Napoleon, by
a Polish lady of great boauty, for whom he con
oolved, one night at a ball at Warsaw, an Intense
passion, and bad her in hor ball dress oouvoyed
to his obamber that night, the oonsequenoe of
which was—Count Walewski. His mother was
afterwards very naughty, and he inherited all
her n&aghtiness. In appearanoe, he is the moat
like Napoleon of all his ohildren. He speaks
without reserve of hie oonneotion with EaoheL,
of whom he thinks moßt kindly, and be lavishes
the greatest praise, strange to say on her amia
bility and gentle home fasoinatlon.
They lived* together for some yearß, and the
ruit of their love is, I think, three ohildren.
Rachel has four others, by whom Heaven knows.
But remember these errors are to be looked on
in a very different lig t from that with whiob
you would view them in your ooantry. Tbe ous
toms and almost tho religion of Franoe eanotion
such Masons. Bishops are delightod to know
Rachael, to reoeive her contributions, and to
have her play for tho charities of the Choroh ;
and as 1 have told you, even virtuous Queens
like \ r iotoria are proud of her aoquaintanoe and
take pleaeuro in Bending her proofß of their re*
gard. Raobel should not be punished for snob
frailtios more than Grisi and almost every foreign
actress, oxoept Jenny Lind, who has been to your
shores; and many foreign ladies of rank who
pass for paragons of virtue, to my knowledge
are far worse, and oertaiuly greater hypoorites.
Raohael is most devoted to her ohildren, and
brings them up at hor own expense sololy, with
the most motherly care.”

the look, at the one mile dam, was killed on Fri

to run with such velocity against the gates, as to
suddenly force them open, causing the windlass

sisoank and the crossing of said railroad by the
river road, on Wednesday, the 29th day of Au
gust, 1865 ; and the jurors aforesaid, upon their
oaths and affirmations aforesaid, do further Bay,
that the immediate cause of the running off of
the said oars from the said track was in conse
quence of the rear of the train, while baeking,
oomlng in collision with a pair of horses driven
by John F. D. Heinekin, the same being attach
ed to a oarriage.
And the jarors aforesaid, upon their oaths and
affirmations aforesaid, do farther eay, that due
diligenoe was not exercisod by the driver of said

And the jurors aforesaid, upon their oaths and
affirmations aforesaid, do farther say, that the

serve tho rules of tho Camden and Amboy Rail
road and Transportation Company, and of the
laws of the State of New Jersey, in reference to
the blowing of the steam whistle oo the engine,
on approaching and crossing the plaoe where the
said road crosses tho river road.
And the jarors aforesaid, upon their oaths and
affirmations aforesaid, do further say, that the
oonduotor of tho said backing train should be,
and Is exonerated from blauio—inasmuch as he
is proved to have been acting io accordance with
instructions laid down in tho “ Running Regula
tions df the Camden and Amboy and Branch
Railroad, No. S,” the same having becD issued

proximity to a bnoking train of cars.
And the Jarorß aforesaid, ou their oaths nnd

And the Jurors aforesaid, on their t-atha and
affirmations, do further say, that by the running
regulations issued by the Camden and Amboy
-Railroad and Transportation Company, |bo pos
sibility and collision- imieoa ap
proaching trains upon a single track is so groat
as to prove that more efficient moans should be
adopted to prevent tho recurrence of the abuse
which baa called this Inquest together, and
that the safety of passengers, in life and limb,
is of moro importance than the saving of a few
minutes of time.
And the jurors aforesaid, upon their oath auJ
affirmations aforesaid, do further say, that us,
by the running regulation of tho said Company,
an express train is permitted to leave one sta
tion, when it is known by the conductor thereof
that an opposing express train is on the road
from tbe next station. Such a regulation has
been proved, by the event of the 2uth of Au

was more proper. Soon after, on tbe road to
Siasoonset, the oarriage in whioh he was got up
set. On his return he Informed the same lady
that he had been set up —in some seotions that
would signify that he had imbibed liquor too
freely.”
