For the kdvertiser. REMVVAL OF THE SLAVE TRADE-NO. VI. " The war maust be curried into Africa." IT is very obvious, why all men except our slave holders are glad to possess as much labor as possible. Labor is the source of all wealth. It is the mother of all capital. It is the measure of all value. Nothing but labor can give value to anything, in the property sense. Neither land, nor stock, nor any otler mate rial, is worth anything or has any utility, except the value which human labor can give it, either directly, or indirectly. I may stand upon the most fertile Is laud in the Pacific Ocean, " Monarch of all I survey," Surrounded by heards of cattle, by facks of sheep by groves of oranges, by forests of rosewood, by clus ters of spice trees but cut of from all conmunication writh my fellow main. and how much wealth would I have ? Auy.except what the labor of my oaen hanids could give me? Could I have even a shelter without building it-any food without gathering it-any clothing without weaving it-any fire without making it! Tim Island and all upon it would indeed be mine, but how much subsistence, or luxury could it afford me, independent of my own labor ? But If more labor were brought upon the Island, then my land, my cattle, my herds would all rise in value; and just in proportion to the increase of labor upon the Island would be the increased value of my pro perty. The now comers would have to labor for their subsistence or luxuries, as I had previously had to do for mine, or rather there would be a general con test among us to control each other's labor as much as possible, that each one might not only subsist, but also enjoy the luxuries of life with the 1-.ast libor of his o.vu hand,. If any one thinks that he can raise cotton or corn, or build him a house or add to his wealth in any way, or even exist without labor lei him try it. Ie will soon find himself thriving like the Iri hm in's horse. He may command te labor of others with capital but that capital itself would bo but the representative of preriours labor. From the fact that labor is the fountain whenceo flows all wealth, as the spring is the source whence comes all the water of the ocean, so the whole strug gle of man's lifeis to get the control of as much labor human labor-as ho possibly can. As man can only exist by the sweat of his brow, and as toi ing till the brow sweats is not agreeable, and as all men desire to have not only the necessaries of life but its luxu ries also, which cannot be had without dominion over Moro labor than is required for mero existauce, so all men strive to command the labor of others that they themselves may exist in comfort, as well as be able to enjoy all the luxuries of this world, without any toil of their own. It is a matter of indiyerocci to A, whether he commands the labor of B by superior in tellect, by cunning, or by forps, henco the natural state of mankind is warfare with each other-antag onism at every stop from the cradle to the grave; and let rose-water philanthropists, or speculative phi. losophers, theorize as they may, they can never dis prove the existence of this universal conflict among men to control each other's labor. Old Hobbef, of Malmesberry, who, I believe, first announced the principle hero stated, has often been assailed for ut tering so repulsive a truth, but the wor.d it 11 accepts his doctrine as the correct one-and Adam Smith, as well as all the other free trade, or rather free compt tition writers, have basedatheir arguments upon the above principle as the starting point of all their de ductions. eFrom this same principle results slavery or the sub jection of one man's labor to the exclusive use of another. Such slavery has always existed and will continue to exist until the constitution of mza shall be changed.. " Such bath it been-shall to -beneath the sun The many still must labor for the ono." Inasmuch as power~ itself is sweet, and is nearly as desimalile as the right to control other people's labor fur our own behoof, to make self-existunce easy and all luxuries attainable, so it must follow, that the par. ty who commands the labor of others, will wish to (10 a.', as absolutely and unquestioned as may be. There fore, slavery of the patriarchual kind, such as wo have cr e whil slavery to capital or wages, slavery such as they have at the North and in alt hireling society, is but 2a &econdary. abnormal relation of the two classes. To the life-long study and practice of man to procure his own subsistene and luxuries, with the labor of others mnay be attributed the fact, that patriarchal slavery has always existed throuhhout the known world un til within a brief period of time. Such slavery was once co-extensive with Europe, and either white or black partriarchal slavery (for both have existed here in South Carolina and in the other colonies) was transported from the mother countries to every Euro pean colony over planted in America, in all of which it flourished until the breaking out of the French Revolution. Indeed, it may be asserted that such slavery, with slight modifications hure and there, existed in nearly all the states of Europe, as well as in their colonies, at the very ~time the French Revolution broke out. Yet the entire population of Eu oge wa' the-n and it now wehite. So that even white slavery was theo no. mal rdlation of producers and consumers every where until recently. It has been abolished in all the states of Europe except Russia. The Emperor of Rusa also lately issued at Ukaseabolishing serfdom (asit isstyicd there) within his dominions, but his noblemen or slave holders have peremptorily refused to obey the mandate, and they will assuredly continue to do so as long as slavery shall be profitable, which will be until subsistee begins to press upo land. No slave holder wilt ever release his grip upon the labor of his slave, until that labor shall tail to afford sub. is eace and luxuries for haimnself, bcause the only restraint which he will permit in the management of his slave labor will be prompted by his own self interest. He will derive all the profit he can f:om whatever labor he may bec able to control.' Now th profit of labor is just what it can produce, more than its own subsistence. It must be clothe', fed, housed and warmed, or it can not exist at all The quantity of profit on labor, or the excess of its production over counumption, depends upon the leeil ity, fertility end cost of land upon which it is em ployedl. Land furnishes all the material for lab~or to work upon in the production of either the necessaries -or luxuries of lire. All the food we eat comes out of the ground, either directly, as vegetables, or indirect. ly as animals reared upon vegetables. All the cloth iug we wear likewise either comes directly out of the ground as cotton and flax, or elf of animals as wool, or out of animals as silk. So wI:h our houses and fuel, so too with our gold and sil -er, copper and iron.: and, in short, so with everythina which sustains or adorns life. It all comes out of.the ground. As fer tile land can subsist a very- dense population, so wherever good land is cheap, labor must be high, be. cause cheap land caso be found only where population is sparse and labor scarce-where the subsistence of labor is not pressing upon the 'productive capacity of the land. Therefore, as no one can exist without labor-as every one desires to possess not only the necessaries, but the luxuries of life by means of the labor of others-as theo exercise of power over labor, or in any other way, is very dear to all men-as the profit o'f labor is theexcess of its production over its subsistence, and as this excess or profit is always great in any country where rich land is cheap and pupul ition spuarse, it is undeniable that slavery is the normal relation which consumers will always impose upon producers until population presses upon subsistence. and subsistence presses upon land. Hence it is easy to account for th'e existence of even white slavery in all Europe for trenty-flee humlared yearu, or as far back as authentic history goes. It existed there de4. pite the white man's innate longing for equality, as his natural right, until it had ceased to pay-until the excess of production over subsistence was so small that capital could realize more profit by temporarily hiring labor, than by permanently owning it. Eman cipation then occurred because the slave had become a tax instead of a profit-because no master 'would give his o*a labor to afford subsistene for his slaves. As. it is a aw of population to tend Southward Is its movements, so the too large congregation of mas ters and slaves iq southqrnl Europe caused emancipa tiSon to commenca in Greece and Italy, whence it has travelled Nofrthwad ntil it has reached Russia, but jpeit h alts and must bide its time.-util~usuj including Siberia and all Eastern Asia, shall have become so densely peopled that the produetion of a slave over his subsisteneo.will be so trifling as to force the master to emancipate him. - 'As Russia has an immense unpeopled territdr for emigration to fill up, it is not probable thit the white slaves of the Musco vite Empire will be emancipated in many ages. Ser vile wars, and the French Revolution in particular, have sometimes precipitated emancipation, but the economic law as stated has generally effected it, and those servile warm as well as that unparalled revolu tion, were produced chioly by the pinchings of hun ger and the longing for political and social equality in the freedmen, who stimulated the slaves to rebel lion by example and by seditious precept. But although that social carthqake abolished white savery inFrance-although it loosened all European society from its moorings, yet slavtry held fast in some of the German states in obedience to the law of man's nature, which seeks to get subsistence and luxuries with the labor of others. Serfdom, or white slavery, was finally and officially abolished in the several German states only at the following dates. Baden - - 1783-Swedish Pomerania 1810 Hohenzollern - 1789 Anstria - - Jsli Sehleswig & Holstein 1S04 Ilesse Darmstadt - 1811 Nassau - ISOS Oldenburg - - 1814 Westphalia - ISOS.Wurtenburg - 1817 Havaria - - 180S Mecklenburg - 1820 Berg & Dependencies ISOS Saxony for'Lusatia 1832 Prussia - - 18091 Hohenzollern Sigma. Lippe Detmold - 18l91 riner - 1833 Sehumberg Lippe - 15101 - So that emancipation from white slavery has taken place on a grand scale In Germany within the lest 75 years. Nor has it been one hundred years since the colliers of Newcastle.and the tin miners of Corn wall in England were hold in the most alject white slavery, (not slavery to capital merely) and were al lowed but a miscrable subsistence out of their own labor. The present Englis* abolitionists clung to white slavery as long as it was possible to do so, and the Irish were kept to servitude until famine stared masters in the face. Yetafter slavery in all the British Isles had ceased to furnish even Its own subsistence, much less a surplus-after masters had been reluctant ly forced to emancipation, Lord Mansfield, Wilber force, Clarkson, ote., could make a virtue of necessity, and boart that no slave could breath the free air of England. Bab! hence, from the facts of all history, we may assume that as long as an outlet to cheap and fertile land remains open to slave labor that slavery is the normal relation of producors to consumers, and that slaves will always be high in price, i. e. they will always pay a-good hire upon their reasonable cost, if there is free competition in the demand aid supply of slave labor, except during temporary inturruptions by g'u:s, wars, etc. 'this will be so whether the slaves sI all grow cuttom or sugar, or do any thing else. Why should the hire of a slave depreciate below the point of paying a good profit upon his reasonable cost, as long as good cheap land can be had in the South, any more than the wages of the white emigrant depreciates belon tho point of paying him a good profit for his labot upon the low-priced fertile land of the North West? Permanent low wages (hire) cannot exist in any country where industry is protected and laud is for. tile and cheap. It is because a negro can earn dou ble as much money over and above his subsistence on the prolific soil of the South West, as lie can here that he hires for twice as much there as he does her( -that he sells for twice as much there as ho doem here, and that the domestic slave trade, as well at enterprising emigration, are depleting the older Statet of their slaves. It is from the samne cause that whit, laborers in the hireling society of the North West arc worth on the average froni 25 to 50 cents per day more than they are in New England. Notwithstind ing the hordes of foreign white emigrants who havi - locked to the North West, within the last forty years yet wages keelp up there ranging from $15 to $40 poei month for ordinary laborers, during the entire year -Of course as soon as an emigrant there can, h< buys himself a farm of hisi own, and seeks to bir< -"help," which contribiutos to appreciate wages. Iiui could not and would not Southern masters also gen. erally buy more land in the West for every negr< "hbelp," they eould get from Africa. Witil his rnas, ter to think fur and direct bim., could not the labor o; an Afric'an be nmde msore profitable thwan that of thea white emigrant in the North W~est. Or if not more profitabile could it not be made at least as protitable! Since the labor of the negro is absolutely controllec by the skill of the master, is not all Southern labor as much exclusively free, or white labor, with refe.r ence to the employment of It, me as to make the groat, est profit, as the labor of the North is all free, ot white for the samte purpose? Is not our entire lobot as free to seek its owe channel of employment, at the entire labor of the North is? Is it not more so| Then why cannot Southera Masters direc.t their owr and their negro labor, as well as the laborers of the North cnn direct their own and their hireling labor: Are our capitolists inferior to those -of thse North fot controlling labor, or are Southern toasters bencatl Northern laborers in respect of capacity for cettini labor at what will pay best ? It would appear that these interrogatories must all be answered in the af. frmative. If in the negative why cannot milliomt more negroes earn a good hiro at the South, as wel) as that the millions of newly arrived emnigrants, irt the North West can still earn good wages there ? At neither subsisteuce 'bor luxuries can he badl without .bor, and as every one trys t> get both, without any labor of his own, but with the labor of others, why not leave every thing here, slave trade and all, opec to the general scramble, or free competition whicb exists at the North ?--whichi now exists at the South, wich has and always will exist here, there and every where else. As labor is the source of all wealth-as it is the only indestnuctasble wealth, why net let us get some more of it? National wealth is but the aggregnte of individual wealth, and as wealth gives power to the State, as well as happiness, or at least comfort to the individual possessor of it, why not hot us add to the power of the South, and to the comfort of her popu lation? From its greater endlurance and suporior eficiency, even with our present limilted supply of labor, eah individual of the South may have mnore average wealth than each inhabitant edf the North, yet the aggregate wealth of the North' is nearly doublo that of the South, for the reason very eacsily to be under stood that the farmer has alnost twice as much labor as the hatter. Why should the South deiny herself the reception of more black labor, while the North is so solicitous to introduc more white labor? Must not the demand for moro labor at thc South be satis fed in some way, and if black labor does not come in from Africa, wvill not white labor come in from the North or from Europe to take ia, place ? Is it not doing so now ? Look into Southern hotels, factories and stoam boats, or cont the number of Irishmen engaged upon Southern rail-roads. White labor is at this time cheaper at the South than slave labor, and it will be employed in preference to slave labor upon the prin ciple that the employer or capitalist will always get as much subsisteneo and luxury for himiself, as be possibly can out of all the labor he can control. Then more labor, either white or black, must and will fill the present labor void at the South, whether we re open the slave trade or not. Most poor white laborers are now learning to regard the negro as their compe titr in the market for wnges. While I write, the border States are shipping their dear negro labor to the South and are employing cheap white labor in its stead, and they will continue to do it until an eqaliry of profit upon black and white labor shall be restored. It is obvious therefore that the price and hire of negroes mast fall from their present pini le, whether the slave trade be revived or not, just as the price of cotton must fall, whether we imsport more Africans or not. Other States will enslave the Africans to make more cotton if we fail to do it, and white labor will pull down the profits of black labor to an equality with the profits of its own labor. If cotton shall continue to rise in price will not white labor make cotton. True, it cannot make as much as negro labor. bet still it can make some, and the usg greaec of what it can make is incredible. Thousands of white mien now plant, cultivate, gather, gin, paek and market a vast deal of Southern cotton. Slave holders might be startled if it could be ascertained how much of Southern cotton is att present made by white labor. Two-rkirde of the white stae (uot wo. .OR .at childrani) in the lonth own no ,la.- a white man can at least work in the cotton field during the morning and evening of a Summer's -day, and very many of them now work all day, either for them selves or as overseers. So that the Coolie and wild African in the hands of England and France as well as the white man in the United States, combine to depress the price of our negroes, and price of cotton, oppose the slave trade, or shape our destiny as we may. Are not white emi grants from Eurispe resorting to Texas fur the pur pose of raising cotton with their own hands? Are not white laborers invading Aestern Virgina, Ken tucky, Tennessee and Missouri to be employed as substitutes-for the negroes, who are sent further South to perform the more arduous labor of cotton culture? Are not white men coming to our very doors to do easy labor, that our house servants, negro mechanics, etc., may be put into .the cotton and sugar fields? Must not those white laborers be subsistel. In a few words, must not and will not the demand for more labor at the South be supplied, since labor here pays so well, and must not that labor be subsisted, wheth er it be white or black ? Then what becomes of the "subsretenec" objection to revival? SCIPIO. For the Advertiser. HEAD OF BIG HORSE CREEE. Enacerln DIsrnIcT, S. C., March 12. MR. EDITOR: I hardly ever take up my pen to write for a Publie Journal without dreading the con. sequences. It is so difficult to keep clear of what is wrong either in style or sentiment. We know not the ungainly bias oven a slight error might give to some ingenuous mind. I do not subscribe to the doc trine that it is bettor to do wrong, than to do nothing. We must be neither drones nor demons in the moral vineyard of this world.* We must not only eschew evil, and " resi-t the devil,'' but we must "achievo some active good.'' He alone is a Patriot and a true friend to his race, who pursues, and carnestly pur suoes, " As God ordains, best ends by wisest means." Well! I have no hope of making' this communica tion at all interesting, but I do know that I can make it brief ezough. Having rambled about over the country, a good deal, this winter, I may be pardoned for alluding to some of the pleasant memories connee ted with my late peregrinations. In the first place, I desire to return to the people of ilgelield Distript my sincero thmpks for the lp varying and unaffected kindness which I received at their hands during my recent collecting tour. If that kindnes is any index to the popularity of our Paper, then indeed is the dear old " Adrcrti(er" on the high road to prosperity. It atfurded me great pleasure to observe, in every part of the country I visited, the unmistakable evi dances of thrift and sweet coutent among the farmers. and planters. Kind Providence has indeed showered its choicest blessings upon us all, and it remains to be proven, by our course in life, whether or not our hearts have boon touched by a feeling of gratitude. In passing through Newberry District, along the line of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, I saw something that reminded me of Morse's wonderful invention, and also of our lack of energy and perso verance. There stood the Telegraph posts, at regular intervals, on the very verge of decay, but the non conductors and the magic wires were wanting, and ever will be, I suppose. So much for the Chinese policy adopted by our State! Does anybody suppose that those poles would stand there rotting, without answering the purpose for which they were erected, were the Riailroadl and thta Telegraph pushed on through the mountains to Knoxville and the other Great Commercial Centres of the tecuming W~et? Horse Creek is a very pretty stream--pure, clear an d unfailing. It is mwo thana 25a miles long. Som:xe of its head springs, issuing from high steelp sand-htill, .and embowered with ever-greens, afford the best and sweetest-of drinking water. Nut the least interesting thing connected with this stream is the vast quantity of peu.t found in some of its little tributaries. 'This peat being a pure vegetable matter, is easily conver tible into a good fertilizer ; when taken from the origi nal bud, however, it is rat- and sour, and must there fore be roolred and ewcecal before it used as a fer tilizing agent. This is do'ne b'y mixing with it a certain proportion of ime,-guano, or something of that, n turet. Onte bushel of lime to a'.bout fifty of peait has t'.ao desired1 ellfoet.

Horse Creek, I believe, has more manufactories on it than any other stream, of the same size, in the Southern States. Near its source, there are two us tablishnete, in full blutet, fronm which Is turned out stone ware of a very superior quality. These facto ries, toagether with the very estimnable Proprietors, are too well know~n to require particular mention in this place. Mr. .Baker's machine shop is in the same vi cinity.

STAUNCH OLD BUCK I Au insidious bill passed both houses of Congress near the close of the late session, to be met and crush ad by the reto of President BuCeANAN. Not having beretofore said any thing of the matter, a word or two at this time may not be amiss. The Bill is called An Agricultural Bill; and pro. poses to promote and foster Agricultural Colleges in the several States of the Union. To this end, it makes a donation to each State of 20,000 acres of the public lands for each Senator and Representative in the present Congress, and also an additional donation of 20,000 acres for each additional Representative to which any State may be entitled under the census of 1860. The President's veto is based upon reasons of ex pidiency and upon constitutional objections. le urgee, first, that the measure will impair the revenue ser onsly, deducting five millions from the income of the next fiscal year; secondly that the tendency of the bill, even if constitutional, is to destroy the indepen dance of the State Governments, and thereby weaken the strongest feature of our Republican system; third ly, that the land scrip in the control of the States (they being required to convert said scrip into money as expeditiously as possible) would become so cheap as to open a door for wealthy speculators to buy up quantities of the public domain, and that thus the emigrant would in many instances be compelled to pay much higher prices for land than under the pre sent order of things,-the result of which would be a drawback and injury to the new territories; fourthly, that the provisions of the Bill would injuriously inter fere with existing Colleges In the different States; and, fifthly, that it is'extremely doubtful whether the bill would really promote the objects it has in view. But chiefly does the President rest his veto upon the unconstitutional character of the proposed Act; declaring that Congress is but a trustee and has no more authority to give away the lands of the United States than it has to give away money raised by taxa tion; and maintaining that the Bill is at war with the doctrine of limited powers in the Federal Govern ment, and therefore subversive of the rights of the States. All honor to the noble old chieftain for his bold stand against the fascinations of a measure well cal. culated to delude the people into error.' 'Ie merits the gratitude and applause of every constitutional, btate rights democrat in the land. COLTON'S GENERAL ATLAS. The agent for "CoLTox's GENERAL AT.ASI WITH DEsCRIPTIoNs" is now in our District and has sub mitted a copy of his ATLAS to our inspection. We have examined it as carefully as other engagoments permit and beg leave to report as follows: The AT LAS has some errore, mostly unimportant;-and what atlas or map has not ? But its merits are of a very high order. Its execution is truly beautiful. No map within our knowledge equals it in this respect; neither has it any superior in fullness and complete. ness of detail. The aggregate of its charts would make two or three of Jonssox's celebrated map; While the accompanying letter-pros will be found an extensive store of valuable informnation, geo graphical, historical at; statiPtie, We have no hesitation in recommending this very handsome work to our readers, as being the full-grown equal of any kindred work yet issued by the skill of Ameri. can artists. We respectfully ask them to examine it well when the polite agent, Mr. Dzxsox, shall call upon them. SPLENDID DRYl GOODS STORE. GnAr & TURtLEY, the woll-known and highly popu Iar Dry Goods Fir:n of Augusta, cGa., advertise large additions, and extensive improvements in their estab lishment, for thu in-coming season. From what the Augusta papers say of them, and of their enterpri zing efforts to lelase a liberal public, their house can have no superior from Baltimore to New Orleans. Knowing the gentlemanly members of the Firm (as we do) it is with pleasure that we point p~ublie attcn tion to their varied and attractive display of meer. ehandize. Edgoeneld has no railroad, it is true ; But what of that, when we have Hamburg and Augusta on our very borders! What of that, when there are such houses as Gastv & TURLEYa's convenient, pre. paredl to affordl us facilities in trade inferior to none in the whole bgoad land' Qur readers, who may visit Aurgusta, will be blind to their true interests if they fail to eall in at this celebrated atand under the Uni ted States Hotel. They may rest assured, that they will be benefited and pleased every way. Splendid Spring Goods now rapidly opening! See what the Chronicle & .b'erinel says of them: A H AxDOoE SToR.-There is scarcely any higher evidence ef the commercial prosperity of a city, than is afforded by the ei:larging of the, stores and the elegance and. tasto with which they are fitted up. Indeed, it is almonat an unerring indication otf pros-. prity, to observe the stores being increased in their propiortions and beatutified in their style and finish. Nor is this all-it is always a good investment both to the real estate holder and the merchant; for a handsomely fittoed up store is very certain to attract thu attention of the piassers, and if a purchase is to be made, they very naturally drop in " to take a took." These thoughts have been suggested bsy the enlarge. ment and improvement male in the store of Messrs. Gray & Turley, under the tUnited States Hotel, which has been recently v'ery much enlarged, andl is now one of the handsomest stores iu the city, and is fitted up in beautiful style for the reception of their Spring Stock of Goods, which they are now receiving and opening. In passing through it a day or two einee, 'we were struck with its neatness and the convenienco of the arrngemeont and appointment of the estab lishment in every departmnent. Of the style and taste displayed in the selection of their stock of goods, of course It does not become us to speak; for the ladies, whosetastes in nil matters pertaining to their own adornment, arc luch more cultivated than ours, aro better fitted to pa's an opinioin. Nor need we commtnent upon the manner in which the firm con duet their b'usiness, prefering rather to let them speak for themnselvis, which they do umost eloquently in their madvertisemenlt of this morninig. We maay how, ever, remairk, that thmay have learned a most impor tant lesson in business, in discoverinig the value of piters' ink, and one which others might learn with profit. THE CHICKEN BUSINESS. A lady-friend sends the following computation, to show that the business of raising chickens is one that eary one phoisdd attend toel "Say you have no chickens to start upon. You by Forty hens, and a fewv males, at a total cost of (about) ten dullars. Allow that twenty of your liens shall lay each day ;-you have 20 eggs a day, equal to 600 a month,-worth (at 15 cents a dozen) seceen dollars and a half. In two months your hens will over-pay fer themselves. Say then you net thema on 15 eggs a piece and they raise Iliac chickens each. You will have by summer 3110 chickens, worth near forty dollars ; the cost of raising them being a little attention fronm the cook-woman, and a bushel or two of meal." Our corespondlent has the argument of us on pa per; but, some how or some how else, it never worked out so on our premises. Something always spoiled our calculations,--either minks, or hawks, or the chicken oholera, or something else equally unfavora ble. However, in this as well as every thing else, It is bert to "try, try, try again." OWEN LOVEJOY. Hie is a muember of Congress from Illinois, and an out-andout abolitionist, lie made a speech on the 21st of last month, taking for his subject, " Tile 'anacismn of the Demnocratic Party."

Under this caption a Western exchange mak the fullowing estimate of the expenses attendant uPd }ublicition of the Congressional Globe, and- .e Congressional printing: " To give a correct opinion in regard to the e1PnO* attending the publication of the Congreusional Globe we give the figures for the past three Congreu5eseor six sessions, which figures are taken from the rePort of the select committee, to devise means of retriach went. For printing and binding Congreutionalgobe for the 32d Congress, $208,808 28; 23d Congres, $236,540 94; 34th Congress, $257,904 2S ; 35th Con gress, $265,900 00, making a grand total for four Con gresses, or eight years, of $971,250 50. How do you like the looks of that, you that never saw a cOPY Of the Globe, and you, that never read it ? But bhr 'a a little more plunder of the same sort. The report says the total cost of the pr 'pg for the 3d Can gress was $3,025,737 92; fur * 34th Congreer $2, 131,611 59; making a grand total of $5,557,449 51, for four year,-or about $1,250,000 a year. That will do pretty wgdl, about $6,000 a year, to each mem ber, solely fur electioneering purposes. But tha the report of the Committee goes on to say that !an an nual sum of $100,000 for stationery, twine aid other articles used in the folding roms of Congress, in fold irg and sending away public Documents," should be added. What shall we say of this perverse sai prof ligate generation ?" The statement is indeed startling. Of coil" the Congressional Globe is not the mere electisering machine our cotomporary represents it. It is a work of great utility, and perhaps of necessity. So of the other Congressional printing. But, in the'5ame of common arithmetic, cannot the expenses be artailed in some way? THE HUGUENOTS OF SOUTH CNROIsJNA* "A subscriber" rather pettishly asks, "why we notice the Kickerbocker, a Yankee paper, with such constant favor and applause ?"-Our reply is'brielly this: becaure, yankee or no yaakee, it is e8 of the purest, most refined, most classic, and most liberal journals in America. To show its invariable tone of liberality and freedom from all sectional 1waudice, we could readily present "A subscriber" wh many passages in point, but must content ourself with giv ing a single one at this time. It is the cesluding portion of an article in the very last numberCn "TNa HUGUENOTS or AxEaICA." Mark its temper ad taste: " South Carolina was-styled the 'Home et the Hu guenots' from becoming their principal retist in the new world. One thousand emigrants emberked for ' La Carolina' from the ports of Holland alas. These expeditions left Rotterdam, touching in Egland on the voyage to America; Isaac Masieg cais over in one of them. He had lung been a merchaatin Rhe; and settling in Charleston, umassed a largifortune, which he used for his adopted"country. In1687, the Lord Commissioners of James the Secosi, by the royal bounty, sent six hundred English ai French emigrants to Carolina. Jean Pierre Pury, of Nourchatel, emigrateito Carc lina in the year 1723, with three hundred ad seven ty-five Protestant fAmilies from Switzerland.; To this company the British Government liberall granted forty thousand acres of land, with four ponds sterl ing, to each adult. The settlements were again strengthened during 1764 by the accession Eftwo hun dred and twelve more voluntary exiles. Thir pastor, named Pilbert, accompanied them from Fasee; and they named their settlement New-Bordesix, in re membrance of the capital of Guyenno, tbir former home. In 1782, there were not less tha six&een thousand foreign Protestants in South Caidina, and most of them Trench. One writer says: 'They live like a tribe, like one family. Eaoh one akes it a rule to assist his compatriot in his need, and to watch over his fortune and his reputation witkthe same care as his own.' In our gJorious struggle for liberty, 9i6 French refugees zealously aided the cause of froedmi. 'South C .rolina was the first to adopt an Indopeadent Con stitution upon the news of the battle of Lexington; and Henry Laurens, was the President of the Con ventiun, which took this important step. Among her militia and regular troops were many illestrious de scendants of the Huguenots, as Francis M'irlon, Peter Bosquet, Samuel Lugare, and Henry Persneau. It is a strikinag fact, that three of the siven Presi dets who guided the deliberations of theContinental Congress were descendants of the French?rotestants -lenry Laurenas, John Jay, and Etisa Boudinot. Two of' them, Boudinot and Jay, were alsotbe earliest presiding officers of the American Bible Sisiety." Scb, and never otherwise, is the style ad tenden cy of the Kuicrkerbooker artieler.

CERISTIANXAGNAJIIY ,s. EIGOTRY. We have watched the issues of the Southern Bap. tist, where " PaaSIeTERos" found a publisher, to see the amend honorable due you, Mr. Editor; and from the gentle remonstrance of your editorial, I believe you had a right to expect it. But when you "'eall the spirits from the vasty deep" they "come not at your bidding." We are left to conclude that our argu ments are unanswerable, and this encourages us to continue our train of thouht and illustration. What is the basis of all persecution? The ansger to this question will show some truth, and some error. The truth is this. No man has a right to do wrong is eivil society: This is self-evident, and carries the same kind of conviction as that " the whole is equal to its parts." The second postulate on which persecution rests Is this: My " Paith is absolutely right." So ia politics -so in science, and so in every thing which employs persecution; and the co-relatives, your faith, your politics, your principles are wrong, and this Is equally certain. Then the man, or men, or society apply the truth and the error together, and feel that they are right in its suppression, even by acts of out-lawry and proscription ; even to saying of men, "who have the spirit of Christ," you have no Church, no Minis try, no sacraments, no approval of God; and the next stop is the inquisition and faggot. Now, your views on Christian Magnanimity give the proper basis, and the only proper basis, on which the good man may stand and not fel obliged to per secute his fellow man who differs from him, either in religion, or any thing else which is a matter of opin ion. For us to say "I knoie you are wrong " to any one on a matter of Faith or opinion, obliges us to carry out the maxim that "no man has a right to do wrong," and we are bound to stop him. But in a difference of Faith from my equal, in all the opportunities of piety and learning, if I say "I think I am right" and that "you are in error," and it is likely you think the same thing of me, do we not see that this alters the ground on whlch these diffaring men stand? Can they per secute each othier, when they acknowledge each other's good sense, and sincerity, and equality of means? I am as firm a believer in my creed and ecclesiastical economy as any man living, and I pledge my soul's salvation on them; but when I see my fellow man, my equal, do the same thing in ref ference to a different scheme of Faith and Discipline, and both of us agree in moral conduct, is it not but just for us to think of each other not that "I know" but "I think" you are wrong? My brother, I cant say I know you are wrong-I may be wrong myself-and as long as we are both conscientious, let us love one another, and believe each other to be Christians, and treat each other as such, with all our Churches, Min isters, Sacraments, Ae, Ac. " We can only see through a glass darkly," as St. Paul says, and we can only believe. But the time will come when we shall know. And what a blessing to think that all who are sincere Will equally know with us. Yet, while we are only mortals, let us say of ourselves as .well as others "humanum et errare et sescire," and if Heathen Horace could say that much, surely Christians may say more on the side of Charity. I know, Mr. EDnToR, you will join me In this sen timent which burned in such great men of your Church as Bunyan, Hall, Curtis and Spurgeon: "Ye differing sects who all declare, Lo! Christ is here, or Christ is there, Your stronger claims divinely prove By showing hoW theshristians love." I should be afraid of tiring you with mny lengths but with such a theme, I know, my brethren in the trials and cares, and aillictions of this life, will not. weary in hearing that which is so like our Blessed Redeemer in Its gentleness, its patience, and forbear ance as CHARITY.. DIScerSTo EFFECTS OF AnoLiTro~is. Searcely was the ink dry with which we recorded that most foul and repulsive history of the lame negro's marriage in Michigan with the daughter of a notorious Abolitionist by the name of Judion, when an equally disgustsng occurrence took place in our own State. The parties to this ~hominabla transaction reside in Hart'ord, Susquebanna county, about fourteen miles .frum Miontrose, in the very centre Davidi Wilnmot's intinence, and in the veqy neighborhood of hia proudest political triumph. The Montrose D)emocrat gives the full partic idara of this revoting affair. The negros, name is John Sophia, and is about twenty-two years old. The white victim of this disgusting tran saetion, is Amelia Tingley, a. renident of the same township. She is eighteen years old. Sometime ago the girl went to reside near Mr. Whiting, in whose family the negro lived, and through whose nmachinations this horrible act baa been perpetrated. On Saturday, the 13th inst., the girl went to church, accompanied by her two little brothers ; instead of retunting home, she went with this man Wh'litiug and his wife to their house, when they called in a clergyman to marry her to the negro.-Ule very properly refused to perform such an atrocious act-one equally forbidden by the law of God and moan. Finding that no one, in that neighborhood would become a party to so infamous a crime, they went to Kirkwood, N. Y., where they found a Justice of the Peace degraded enough to give his legal sanction to the unnatural anid hborrent union. Upon their return to Hartford there was a prodi gions excitement, as might natwally have beeni expect .d. Various demnonstrations were mace exp~ressive of the indignation and disgust of the citizens. The whole paty, Whiting and his wile. the negro and hys deluded victim, were arrested and held to bail on a charge of conspiracy, at the instigation olthe girl's Jather. Most earnestly do we hope that the g'nilty parties to this nefar ious transaction will be severely punished. This poor girl, it seems, had her mind poisoned by the Whitings, who are faithful disciples of tiorace Greeley, and fully enamored with the disgusting doctrine of" negro. equality." They labored assiduously to bring about the unholy nmarriage, and unfortunately were successfull. A thoughtless and innocent girl has thus been ruined, and a respectable family and a wide circle of relatives have had an indelible disgrace inflicted upon them. If there is any legal re niedy for such monstrous abuses, we trust it will be thoroughly exercised.-PhL. Argus. 2pD-The Friends of Capt. 3. B.
