New Substitute for black slavery.

Parke Godwin, editor of the Evening Post. (New York,) says that "if slavery is to continue in this country we want the Irish Catholics to take the places of the negroes, and let the more intelligent and more virtuous blacks be liberated. " "Such an abominable sentiment is entirely worthy of the man who utters it — a man who saves like one in bedlam against the Constitution of his country, and slanders every white man who is not a negro in his heart."--N. Y. Old Guard.
