(d?volutions never go backward, but ever move onward. The straggle through which these States have just passed may be ended as far as the clash, of arms is concerned, but, says a Southern cotemporary, some of the marked results to flow from it are not yet perceptible. The history of the past will teach ns that important changes are to take place in the con? dition of this people within the next quarter of a century-changes, too, that are scarcely imagined by any of us. The rapidity with which the Ameri? can colonies.-were peopled, the man? ner and extent of tue development of the resources of the country since the revolution that resulted in our inde? pendence, are among the mosj aston? ishing things in history. One of the greatest nations of the earth, one of the first war r>owors of the .world, built up in three-quarters of a cen- , tury. Just think of it ! and compare our rise and progress with the rise and progress of the older powers of ' Europe. But the advantages of our climiite, soil, and general resources, enable us to rob them of their greatest source of wealth, their ?brain and : muscle. Ever* since the Eden, Ameri- ! ca, was thrown open to the down trodden and oppressed of the old country, a constant streaji of imuii- ? gration has been flowing from the old to the new world, which "is increasing rather than diminishing in volume. And can Ave stop it '? As well attempt to still the rolling billows of the ocean ? This stream of humanity will flow on, on, and on, and -when Europe and the North shall have made a New England of ah the territory lying be? yond the Mississippi, and settled the new vacant landis to the Rocky Moun? tains and beyond, tire stream will st?l flow on, and new territories will bo discovered, annexed, set th id, and the Yankee energy and American civiliza? tion will still press forward toward the setting sun. Wars, rebellions will not stop it, but with each succeeding shock or convulsion the mighty tor? rent will only increase in strength and power. The introduction of? African shive? ry into this country by our ances? tors, is their sin, not ours. It has caused much suffering to the white race, has kept many of them in ig? norance and poverty, and retarded the development of the resources yf those States that have nurtured it. and kept it alive. "Whether it has benefitted the black man' or not, is an abstract question that we do not care to discuss; but results have shown that, as a slave or freeman, the African has been in the white man's way. The. red man, tho original proprie? tor of this vast country, gave way j before the tread of his more provident and enlightened pale-faced brother, ! and following the setting sun, as our j civilization advanced, there are now but few traces to note the fact that he has ever been here. This cormtry was his by the right of long and un? disputed possession, but when the tide of immigration turned West? ward fr oin the Old World, he began to recede, and in a remarkably short time, if compared with the history of nations, he disappeared, and in the forest wilds, where but as yesterday . he hold undisputed sway, now the pale-face is monarch of all he sur? veys. Slavery was introduced into tho New England and other Northern Start's for Kain, dur ancestors cured no more for the black msftl than we, of the South did when w.e held them as slaves,- and we cured but precious little beyond the property that was in them. Bait why did our Puritan ancestry rid themselves of this moral, social and political evil? Was it hu? manity-philanthropy? Not a bit Of it. The slave and the negro was root? ed out of New England and thi?North just as they will be, within the next half century, out of all the country East of the Mississippi, to make rc-om fox the immense flow of white, men from the old world, of which we have spoken. Slavery wat abolished, and the negro lias become extinct in the Northern States, because the superior race-the whites-rushed there iii such numbers as to supply all tho wants of thc country as to labor in all the departments of business and commerce. As this stream of humani? ty from Europe poured into the Northern States, slavery and, the black man had to give way before it and move down South, and now that the prowess and valor of the Northman has crushed slavery lind opened up these Southern States to the flood of immigration,, which is ever moving onward, tin thickly populated cities, towns and districts of the whole N< >rth will throw their surplus population ujion us. The poor will come in I search of labor, those of small capital will come to better their* condition, nnd the capitalist will come to invest; and within ten or twenty years, two thirds of the Southern States will change hands, our population will He doubled or trebled, white laborers will abound, and the negroes will move Southward, until within thirty years they will be as scarce here as j they are in tho Northern States now. And why? Because the Southern j people will be unkind or prejudiced against them? No. But because now that they are freV, we shall become ag careless ?daout them ai the Northmen are, and when Ave find it to our inte - rest to emxiloy whites to perform the menial service they have 1>een per? forming, with an eye to self-interest, wo shall not be slow to do it If pressed back, it will not be tin'. South? ern, "but the Northern people and Europe that will do it. They will leave because the superior and more energetic whites will take their places ; and as they own no part of the soil, as soon as they cannot find employ? ment they will begin to disappear. The negro piT?spere<l physically and increased in number as a slave; but with this tide of white immigration pressing forward as the result of his being freed, we do not behevo he can now. Alre:uly we hear that the intelli? gence offices will be able to furnish white servants for families who ?wish them, in North Carolina, and nc doubt by the first of January next it will be as easy to get any kind pi white "help" that may be desired, ic that State, as in Baltimore or Ne? York. And when this comes to bf the case, and those people who have to hire, find that one Irish or German woman can do the labor of two negro women, like the people of the North they will give the preference. 'If tin negro is driven out, as we believe ht will be ultimately, it will not be or account of persecutions by the formel owners, but by the flood of immigra tion which had pressed slavery before it, before the war begun, from Massa cliusetts to Maryland. If the negro would remain here m ?in inferior, not demand too much and perform for reasonable compen sation the labor the country mus have, he might stay this volume o immigration to some extent; but i he listens to the few fanatics win preach political and social equality t< him, and, aspires to govern, rathe than be governed, the tide will pres forward and.engulph him. Leave finady, ro make room for the fina tread of whit? man, we behevo b< must, but he may prolong his stay lr good behavior and industry. Th same Anglo-Saxon that has presse? him out of the Northern States i now applying for that place he ha hitherto occupied here, and unless h can render his labor as valuable au his presence as acceptable to th owners of the soil as the more enei getie pale-face, he may take up his be and walk. Intelligent negroes w?l do well t consider these things. [ Louisville Commercial. THE FALL OF THE REPUBLIC IN MEXICO.-In-twenty-eight years, the world has witnessed almost as jnany revolutions in that beautiful but bru? talized and beleagured country. Go? verned by tho Spaniards for two hun? dred and seventy-three years, a rule temporarily lost, and then recovered only to be lost and won until the condition of the country, oven under the rule of the people themselves, became the theatre of periodical, con? fusion and change-Mexico has at last lapsed into the liands of another strong European power. As we recur to the Mexican troubles before ?apo- ! leon came in with his stimulated yet j plausible pretext, it would almost seem impossible for a people so dislo- ? eatcd to be* held together by any j power or to be permanently rescued ! from precisely such a fate ita had be- I fallen them. Take the following j sketch of nine years of internecine convulsions from 1851 to 1860: , .Arista succeeded Herrera in 1851 was forced to resign in 1853, when Santa Anna w.os recalled, and for the fifth time placed at the head of the Government. Attempting to perpe? tuate his nde, he was compelled to-fly in 1855. Carrera succeeded aud ruled for twenty-seven days, being driven ont in his turn. After s'orne weeks of anarchy, Alvarez, became President, and held- power about two months, when he resigned iu favor of Comon- ! fort. He held the baton from De? cember, 1855, till January, 185S, when the*Conservative party got up a revolution, displaced him, and put in Zuloaga. Juarez holds from Comon fort as his successor, and he still claims to be President. Zuloaga was beaten by Gen, Pohle, in 1859, when Miramon again appeared, became chief of the Conservatives, and gra? dually made head against Juarez till I Louis Napoleon appeared upon the sc?ne; and Miramon is neting, like other Mexicans, unO.?T his patronage ?iud pay. Our next intelligence may be the flight of Juarez and the formal establishnieut of French authority ;n Mexico. MADAME BESTELL'? PALATIAL MAN? SION.-Every one luis heard of Ma? dame Bestell, the abortionist, though most persons living suppose tha^k after the exposure of her crimes mac3?r? years ago, she was compelled to retire from her hideous and unnatural pro? fession. Quite the contrary. She con? tinues to ply her vocation on Cham? bers street, and boasts that some of the most 1 "respectable persons in New York are her customers." She; has mad?' an immense fortune, and re? cently she has erected a palatial man? sion near the Central Park, at an expense, with the furniture, of $150, 000. Satirical persons style it *'Ma? dame Restell's Asylinn for Lost, Chil? dren;" but, call it what you will, it is a very handsome structure; and is a ?fad comment on th< success f>f crime. Rice! Rice?
