DEMOCRATS TO THE REsCUE-NO. A..

 The salvation of our party. as proved in my last communication, depends, Democrats, upon our success in our efforts to bring the North over to the support of slavery.

 | Still another motive should stimulate US in our efforts.

 WE MUST HAVE SLAVERY AT THE NORTH. That is the truth. and why not proclaim it.

 Slavery is a good thing, it is a Christian insti- tuition where it exists society is in it's normal condition.

 Without slavery, there can be no genuine ari- stocracy among us; nothing but codfsh aristoc- racy. Just think what distinction it would give gentleman, to be a bona fide slaveholder. Suppose Northern man has accumulated for tune in the Southern business. or by selling some incomparable medicine, Dr. Brandreth for exam pie, or the vertable Old Dr. Townsend" how i could such an individual, more effectualy distn- guish himself from the common herd about him here at the North, than by becoming the owner of ten or twenty, or fifty slaves? If the thing can be once started here, who doubts that it will rapidly spread, and become the ton? Then just consider the economy and ths con- venence, of owning men aud women, and of hav- ! ing them fully under your control.

 No wages to be paid them no necessity of humoring them, lest they leave you.

 This business of hiring laborers and domes- tics males and females, and being obliged to source of trouble vexation, and expense. A slaveholder would be happily exempt from these annoyances. Instead of earning money in some way to support his domestics; he may be sup ported himself from their earnings. This is the way the institution operates at the South. The Southern planter comes North, and makes a great display. Where does the money come from? Why Sambo and Dinah, and the rest earned it. Now we must adopt the system Slavery is aristocrtic, it is convenient it is nomical yea it is profitable. It isa pleasant and comfortable thing it secures you from drudgery, and puts into your pocket the results of other peoples labor and toll.

 But NORTHERN SLAVERY MUST BE WHITE SLAVERY.

 Don't be alarmed. Remember, that the sla- very sanctioned by the Bible, according to our worthy pro-slavery ministers, was white slavery. beyond peradventure. The question, therefore, whether our slavery shall be black or white, is simply one of convenience and fitness. The Af- rican is suited to a warm climate, and not adap- ted to the North. We must have slaves of Northern races, whose constitutions are suited to our part of the country. Then the white ra- ces are supposed to be superior to the African in point of intelligence and on this account they might, when properly broken in, become more profitable they would be more skillful in every department of labor to winch they were put. This intellectual superiority might possi bly, render it more difficult to hold them in bond age. Still we could appeal to their consciences and they would be more competent to appreciate the scripture arguments of the religious teachers we should employ, to instruct them in their re- ligious obligations, to submit quietly to the yoke Moreover when the institution is established, North as we'll as South, the slaves will have no abolitionists to fill their heads with nonsense.- These dangerous disturbers cannot live South now and when we get full ascendancy at the North, we will make short work with them here We will not stop to argue the case with the Greeleys and the Bsechers. No, we will take some more etfectual method of putting them to silence.

 Another particular in which white slavery would be preferable for the North, is the fact, that at the North there is prejudice against people of color, feeling of personal repugnance. This feeling is to considerable extent worn away at the South. White ladies quite often hand over their children to negro women to be nursetl, who thus become foster mothers of con- siderable portion of the people. Now in the case of white slavery, there would be no such personal repugnance. A point of great delicacy arises in this connexion. It is wel-known that at the South young women with some African blood, command at times, high prices on account of their beauty. Of course we would not coun- tenance immortality. No, by no means, certainly not. But it is quite evident, that if gentleman should wish to marry beautiful white slave, he might be induced to pay an enormous price for her. But this train of thought I will not pursue any further; any one who chooses can run it out at his leisure.

 Such being the advantages of white slavery oyer African for the North The next question is:-HOW CAN WHITE SLAVERY BEN PRODUCED AT THE NORTH?

 This is point of some difficulty. Perhaps it would not be advisable to circulate generally, the suggestions make in this paper, among the poorer laboring classes, particularly among our Irish friends The public mind ia notqute ripe for the practical application of the principle of slavery, to whites, and among ourselves But things are rapidly tending in that direction. We must exercise patience and caution. Rome was not built in day With much diffdence, and with entire readiness to be corrected, if fall in to any mistakes, I will throw out for consdera- ton suggestion or two.

 Suppose then the public feeling to have been prepared for some practical movement; the first step might be, to provide for orphans. and poor children abandoned by their parents, and that come to be public charge, by selling them to the highest bidder. This measure would com . f
