DEMOCRACY AND SLAVERY—NO. 3
Id our former article on thia aubjeot wo assu
med, what alt mast ooncedo, that the Domocraoy
is the only national party in this country ; anil
then considered the false charge that as a na
tional party it was necessarily or in fact a pro-
flayer? party. We showed that, in its annexa
tion poiioy, the Democratic party had never ex
tended the area of slavery one foot, or design
ed to do so ; but oa the contrary that it has ac
quired wide realms once devoted to slavery by
law, but now likely to form many now free
t’tiic. 1 ' One aim of Democratic policy has ever
been, as we have shown, to acquire territory by
poacoab!? annexation or fair purchase ; and the
resui: of that policy has been to more than
double our territory, get the control of the
whole Mississippi r;ver and valley ; remove dan
gerous neighbors from our borders, and seouro a
Commanding front of more than twelvo hundred
miles in extent on the Patific coast
Ac
- : .her aim of Democrats policy has ever
be a to acquire population to peoplo these wide
au i fruitful realms. The party has always been
in favor uf admitting fereiguors to all the priv
'..ego? of ciiiaenahip, and is still in favor of it.
It has required no Lag torm of residence before

A Umd its President tho law was changed,
fourteen years residenoe was required. This
had a tendency to disooura?© the immigration of.
foreigners, and such w&8 doubtless its design
But in lbOt Jefferson beoame President, and the

tion of foreigners. Toe charge is not denied
/' Vj.«/aoorca both the acqwsuion of (errritory
and (he acguuUton of population.

X f rU.rn immigration upon slavery.
I'd ler our liberal Democratic policy towards;
foreigners great numbers, several million in faot,
u.nve ianded on cur shores . have beoowd citi
zsd:-. aui gcccrii.y gyjd citizens ; and have i*j
treieei u-ir population by several millions with
in the lasl half centu y. N jw, where do these
generally localo m this country *
1: t? we!; Konwa that minima four fifths of
’V.n Loltlo «n the free iuates .and new territo
ries They prefer to locate whero free labor is
‘a demand, and they do so. And within that
half century th« Slates have constantly
gi tied or. the slave H»v©s in population, and in
representation in Coogree?, until the white pop
niaticn of the free States is double that of the
State?; au-’J in the House of Rcprosenta*
tives cf Oj&grt-ss too free States have now a
m»j>rityof fifty-four members. In the Benate
tuo free States have n majority of two members,
;h-.-re beiug sixteen freo States, and fifteen slave
States. And what ia the prospect for the imme
diate future ? Ia two or threo years, Minnesota,
Oregon aod Utah will be ready, so far as popu
lation ib concerned, for admission into the Union
as Slates. They will be free States; and will
thu-i give to the North a majority of eight in the
WUhia trie same time Kansas will
probably k -e ready for admission ; and if north-
ern emigration continues to tend toward? it as
heretofore, and foreigners are permitted to oome
id and add their cumbers to the friends of free
dom iq that territory, toe question will be deci
de! 10 favor of freedom by an overwhelming
mapnty. Within three or four years, then,
foar uew fret States will probably be added to
th“ Union : making thirty five States, twenty of
which will be free, .and fifteen slave Btates
giving ten majority iu the Senate, (or forty out
of seventy votes,) and a majority of fifty-eiebt
or sixty in the House cf Representatives in
favor cf the North
Now, who can doubt that the Demooratio
policy of favoring the immigratim of foreign
population uaa contributed largely to this result
in favor cf freedom? Look at the freo States'
majority of two in the Senate now. From
whonce do they come ? From
ono-half of whose population ia of Oftthi
The foreigners generallyaap opflpd to filttfery,
aai shrink from contact!anti
slave labor. They generally eeVdo iu the
Btateß and territories, and, it is Aaqged, gene
rally, when made citizens, vote with tho Demo
oratic party. Does that look as though that
party, though national, is pro-slavery ? In the
two points of well known Democratic policy that
we have considered, then, has that policy been
vro slavery in its tendonoies and results? Have
we not shown clearly that it has proved the re
verse ? To enlarge our territory by annexation,
and increase our population by liberal immigra
tion nod naturalization laws, have been among
its great and uniform purposes; and one of the
ocneequenoes has been, and wil! evidently con
tinue to be, to give to the free States a vast pre
ponderance in the confederacy, fe it a pro
slavery party 7 But at the same lime, it is not
a;,!; slavery, in the abolition sense of that term.
1; national ia all its aims and principles; and
steadily pursues .vast purposes and measuroa for
the pros erity and aggrandisement of the whole
republic. It is a faot worthy of notioe, that one
of the parties in the North that charge the
Democratic party with being pro-slavery, because
national, is the party that would withhold citi
zenship from foreigners; and discourage, and
stop, if possible, all immigration Yet should
that immigration continno, and add its volume
to the tide of migration from the North to tho
new territories, it wotild contribute very mate
rially to make every foot of those territories free
; for all time to oome. Such is the inconsistency
of those who assert that a national party must
be a pro slavery party. Doos the charge oome
from a reiiablo source? Is it well founded?
Clearly not.
But wo have more proof to add. The doo*
trine of “ State Rights ” has ever been a part of
the Demooratio policy. That 'dootrino means,
what the founders of our republic and framers
of our constitution designed, that each State
should be sovereign within its own limits ; and
oontrol and regulate all its domestio and local
affairs and institutions ; while the general gov
ernment should only have jurisdiction of such
matters aB effected in common all the States. Its
offioe is to provide for the common defence and
the general welfare; while all local legislation
belongs to the several States, each within its
own limits. This dootrino has ever been applied
to the institution of slavery. The Democratic
party has ever treated it as a local institution,
to be sustained and regulated by osob State in
which it exists; and entitled to no support or
oaro of tho general government. The Demo
cracy has bad oontrol of that government near
ly all the time for half a century ; and, had it
been pro-slavery as a national party, it could
have made slavery a eubjeot of national ooncem.
But its doctrine of State Rights forbid such a
use of the federal powers ; and the party has
ever sought to sever the federal government
from all connection with the institution ; to dis
courage agitation on the subject In Congress; to
rigidly prohibit and prevent a clandestine slave
trade ; and to avoid the dangers of sectional
Issues and parties on the subject. Was that
pro-elavery? Was that seeking to dofend, to
foster, or to extend the institution ? Quito tho
reverse.
Bat there was one subject in connection with
slavery on which some legislation by Congress
was deemed necessary. The Constitution en
joined tho rendition of fugitives “ owing ser
viceor in plain words, the eurronder of fugi
tive slaves on claim of their owner ; and an act
was passed in 1790 to provide a procosa and
mode in which it sh ,u!d be done. It was to a
great extent inoperative; and, among other mea
sures of oompromis.' in 1850, the South demand
ed a Fugitive Slavo Law more stringent and
effectual. It was conceded; and who is charge
able with that concession, if wrong v Not the
Democracy, as a party, surely. The author of
the bill was Henry Clay, the “embodiment ” of
the Whig principles. Its most able aivocato
was Daniel Webster, the greatest of Whigs A
Whig President, Mr. Fillmore, gave the influ
ence of bis position In favor of the bill, and it
passed, many Whigs and many Democrats vot
ing for it, and the Whig President signed and
approved it, and thas it became a law. It was
not a party measure, though it was an important
measure of a Whig administration , and Whig
as well as Demooratio papers in the North coun
selled acquiescence in, and obedienoe to it
Many who now claim leadership in the Republi
can or Abolition party, were counselling acquie
scence when tho Fugitive Slave Law was enacted.
They now counsel disobedience, and forcible re
sistaoce to its exeoution ; and oall the Democra
tic party a pro-slavery party beoanee it condemns
mob-rosistence to law, and discountenances nul
lification and treason. There is nothing pro
slavery in that. It is the doty of every good
oitixen to obey the laws ; and it U tho sworn
duty of the Executive “ to see that the laws are
faithfully exeouted l’ 1 Every resistance to law
is nullification. It was tried once in South
Carolina, and crushed by the iron will of oJaok
soo. It was tried in Massachusetts last yfcar,
and suppressed by the power of the federal gov
ernment. Thus Demooratio Presidents have
equally compelled the North and the South to
submit to tho laws. There is surely uotbing
pro slavery in that.
We have said that our territory has been
doubled by Demooratio annexation. It would
have boon more aoonrate to say four-fold in
creased. Daring Washington's and Adams' ad
ministrations the aroa of the United Stntcs but
little exoceded eight hundred thousand sqoars
lt is now over three million three bon
-tfrod thousand eqnaro miles. And our popula
tion at the close of the last century was but
little over four millions. It is now about seven
times 1 1 eat number, or twenty-eight mlllioDß
Our institutions in their infancy wero a new
experiment of human self government, and
were looked upon with jealousy and dislike ty
the monarchies and despotisms of Europe. Jef
ferson and his eucoeesors desired to acquire na
tional strength rapidly, that we might be pro
pared to meet and repel threatened assaults of
despotism. That policy has been suooessful.
Wo ore now safe from foreign assault. And
that same policy has given to the free and pros- I
poroue North forover a vast preponderance in j

But we must reserve other foots and argu
mento for another artlolo; and they will all
support and oonfirm oar proposition that the
Democratic party, while national in its prinoi
plea and organization, ia neither pro etnrery nor
anti-slavery ; yet that the tendonoy of its policy
has been in favor of freedom and tho formation
of free States out of territories where alavory
woe onoo legalized.

The total population of Chicago, as by the

A suit was commenced on Saturday in the
Circuit CouK of New l’ork oity, against the
Camden and Amboy Railroad Company for dam
ages for injuries reoeived by two persons in the
recent catastrophe on that road.
Oscar W. Sturtevant, the Whig Alderman in
New lork who was sentenoed to the Tombs,
together with a number of other oity fathers,
some four years ago, for bribes-taking and other
official misoonduct, has been eleoted delegate

Mr. Charles lagereoll, of Phila., one of the
killed by the Railroad aooident at Burlington,
would, it is stated, have iuherited a fortune of
$600,000 had he lived nntil he arrived at the
ago of twenty-one years, whioh would have
been the last of the present month. A olauso
in the will provided that in the event of his de
cease before arriving at age, the fortune would
fall to another branch of the family. It ia said
that an effort will be made to reoover this
amount from the railroad oompany. George W.
Ridgeway, of the firm of Ridgeway & Diehl, one
of the killed, belonging to the same oity, had
his life insured for $lO,OOO.

The European War—lt« Popularity with
the Alitta,
An eminent legal gentleman of New York, in
writing from England, givee his views of the
war question iu Europe. Hesajs:
Barring (he railroads, there is no Bymptom of
trouble or distress; the crops are excellent,
though it rained almost steadily daring July’
and no one appears to feel any present trouble
or futuro approhenaion. This brings me to the
war, which has resumed its interest since the
attaok on Swoaborg, and tho repulee of tho
Russians at the Traktir hridgo across the Toher
n&ya.
The Sweaborg affair wa* at first grossly and
ludicrously exaggerated by all the press, from
tbo Ttmet to tho lowest organ of tho press
“ Swoaborg was extioot ” “It was a gri-i y
ruin.” Such were (he texts of ail sorts of lead
ers, pteaas and h&llclojaia, until Admiral ban
das's despatches arrivod, by which it appeared
that the damage was confined to the destruction
by fire of everything inflammable on tho four or
fire islands forming the fortress of Swe&borg,
but that tho defences of the place are absolutely
uninjured; whether tbo conflagration witnessed
by the attacking boats consisted of houses, arse
nal , etoree of fuel for steamboats, or sheds for
gun boats, seems wholly nncer aln, but the Im
portant part of the matter is tho proved value
of the guu boaia and mortar-boate, and the in
creased proability of an attack on Cronstadt
it is believed that no sufficient foroo .of light
draft yet exists to attack that placo this yoar,
but the partial eucooea at Swoaborg hae raised
a very confident < xpoctation that the town and
shipping in Cronstadt oan be destroyed as soon
as the mortar and gun-boats now in construction
can bo brought into the field, and in this point
of Ticw, the allair at Swoaborg is of no small
oonseqaenoe.
As to Sebastopol, it seems djffioult to resist
tho belief that the allies mast be able to oarry
the southern part of the town this year. But
littleimpe ie entertained that tho northern part
Wlib fall, and how far tho southern division will
be tenable aa long as th» great Btar fort stands,
seems very doubtful. Rumors are rifo that the
I Russian.? in the town are very short of provia
i ions. This may or may not be true ; but the
question evidently ia, whioh of the contending
pow:rs wi'i bo longest abic to etand the terrible
dr&.u of tho war. Within two years England
has added to her debt twenty nine millions, and
Franco sixty.six millions sterling; together nine
ty-five miliums sterling, or five bundrei millions
jof dollars. The year's expenditure of England
aiotu* is upwards of ninety four millions ster
ling, instead of the average peaoe outlay of 6f
ty four millions sterling; (of this seventy one
millions are r&ibod by taxation and twonty-threo
millions are fresh debt;) In other words, forty
miiHoos, or two hundred millions--gosa i&ts year
lor the war. And if next wider or spring tbo
EogCeh and French governments have to come
before their rodpcctive oountrica with fresh
I loan", and cothiog to ehow bat Sweaborg
: scorched and Sebastopol, at tbo best, half taken,
l ittn .y wci! be a?ktd how will matters th™ look’
! But, per contra, it is to be observed, that nei
ther England nor France, as yet. foots the war,
| and a? fir as can be jadgod, it is popular iu
( both contnes. It is perfectly obvious from the
j tone cf tbo pres- tsat the o.d warlike blood of
i Eog-an-l is aroused, that their prido is up, and
, that \z‘-y -.vould submit to great sacrifice rather
j tb.vo t) defeat. And as to France, it ia idle to
i say, after the manner iu which Louis Napolo
jon a appeals for money have been answer
i ed, that hie government is not substantially
| a popular one, pcsaesaiog the confidence of tho
miJJIo and lower classed. And no ono knows
how long Rn«- r a herself can stand out. Tho
draiu on her must bo equally severe, and what
is more her troopa certainly do not fight
m the open fie! 1 as was eipooted of them.
Tue r«'al trouble for tho western governments
will r-ine when the war is ovor; then, whether
suocoeeful or JefcAtei, tho rookonir’g mu9t be
met, &cJ it w;l! be very diffioult, cither for the
Eogli?h aristocricy to maintain their monopoly
of offije, or for Master Louij Napoleoo to keep
up hid despotic system. Thero will bo a smash
somewhere, aud, oo the whole, l doubt not a
beuefioent one.

appears, says the State Tribune, that a party of

Extraordinary Colleetlon of Ft»h,
That part of the city basin well known as
Hughes’ Quay, lying at the foot of Federal Hill,
now presents a very singular soeae, and attraots
thousands of persons by its novelty. It appeara
that during Monday night large shoals of fish
were drifted along the branoh to the basin by
the flood tide, and they aoonmnlated in snob
numbers that at first it seemed impossible to re
move thorn. It 1b supposed that in oonseqnenoe
of a quantity of poisonous gaseous matter which
flowed into the water from some neighboring
factory, aud covered its whole surface, the finny
tribo no sooner oame in oontaot with It than
they were suddenly deprived of life, and floated
along at the meroy of the waves. Information
was conveyed to Dr. Houck, commissioner of
health, who immediately ordered their removal,
but after eight scow loads had boen taken away,
it eermed to the men that there were still a
greater quantity to be removed than when they
fir&t commenced to take them away. Mr. L. B.
Gulley, tbe port warden, has bceu ordered to
repair to tbe scene with a dozen of his largest
soow3 and a steam-tog, and endeavor to effect
their immediate removal—for if thoy remain,
the awful stench mast engender disease.
Another Eastern Route Soon to be Open
ed.—We learn that the oontraotors on the Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad are poshing for
ward the work with energy. They are now lay
ing half a mile of track per day west of Fort
Wayne, and are expeoted to reaoh Plymouth on
the first of January next. There it will oonnect
with tbe Laporte and Plymouth road, and with
the Michigan Southern road form quite a direct
lino to this city. Iu the route through Ohio to
Pittsburgh it will be a very considerable saving
in distance to go by Plymouth. The opening of
this route will doubtless increase our trade very
sensibly with Northern Indiana and Central
Ohio. Chicago Press.

eg- Agnc and F*v«r of Tlum Year,'
Standing OnrcdM«Ur. John Longden, now tiring at
Bearer Dam, Hanorer county, near Blchmond, had Ague
and Perer tor three years; most ot the time he had ehilla
twice a day, and rarely less than once: he was paielled
with feTers as soon sa the ohlU left him; and aftsr trying
phyaloians, quinine, most of the looks advertised, and
ererythlng recommended to him, waa ebont to giro op in
despair, when darter’s Spanish Mlxtire was epoien of: hi
got two bottles, hot beftre ha had urod more than a single
one, ho was perfectly cored, and had not had a chill or
Vrer sinoe. ■
Mr. Lon tden is only one oat of thousands who hara
been benefited by this great tonic, alterative and blood pu
rlller. See advertisement sepAilm
Inhalation for DUeucd Lungs,
The mode of Inhalation, in case' of diseased longs
throat, recommended by Sr. Curtis in his advertisement,
strikes ns as the true one. It Is now generally admitted;)}?
ear best physicians, that local difficulties can only be suc
cessfully treated by local applications. This practice, has
been pursued from the first with respect to external inflam
mation and oorroalons, and we see not why 3of the
throat and lungs may not be treated in tbasame manner;
we believe they may. In this variable climate of ours,
where lung and throat complaints have become so preva*
lent and rife, we earnestly recommend to the public, and
to the ajjiicitd especially, to avail themselves of Dr. Curtis’
remedy.—{One who has tried it] See advertisement In
this paper.
