TltS AFRICAN RFDKMPTI0H1SX9.
When jjiird Clarendon wna nukiil in llie lloum
of Lords ifhe hud nuy knowledge of the fnct Hint
the French (bivcimiieut contemplated tlio till*
Iortulion of African redennitiouistiiinlo tlie \Vc?t
mlia Inlands, lie iU-clni'ru lio Imcl received no
official in fori ii ii t ion on tho subject. It win
scnrccly to tic expectcd, in a matter of this kind,
that Louis Napoleon would instruct his represcn- ,
intivo at the court of St. Juntes to givo formal
notico to the British ministry of liis intention to
sanction a incueuro of the propriety of which he
himself was alone entitled to jud^o. France and
Kiigland huvc both tried Coolio lalwr, but tlie
Kiicuess lias not justified the expense incurred.?
The West India planters complain bitterly of tho
restrictive laws iin|>osc<l upon Ihein by the Homo
tiovorinnenls while Cuba, with the connivance
of the authorities, continues to import large curgoes
of African slaves.
They, therefore, ask that the slave trade shall
be cflcetually suppressed, or ili.it they shall be
permitted to intioduce African immigrants into
the islands at their own cost upon such terms as
may bo agreed upon between the coutractiug
parties. The Krenvh West India plaintcm inhabiting
Martinique and Demerara have made a similur
appeal to Louis Napoleon. Lord l'nlmerstoti,
in reply to the deputation thai recently
waited upon him, promised U> fj*,ve the subject
tliat attention its importance deserved, and high
hopes were eiitertuiued by the coiiimillcc tliat
the action of the Government would be favorable.
Bat notwithstanding the vigorous support
given to the scheme by tlie London Times, a
strenuous opposition to it has arisen both in and '
out of parliament.
Lords Shaftesbury m.<1 Brougham have denounced
it, and tho anti-slavery ossoeiation, many of
tvliosc members wore at first disposed to countenance
the scheme, is up in arms against it. Yet
there ib much truth in tlie assertion of the West
India planter, that free labor cannot compete
with slare labor, and that the rcstiietions imposed
upon them hy Parliament are ruinous to their
interests.
They also plausibly argue that, by importing
African redemptiouists, commerce in slaves will
be effectually broken up and slave property itself
rendered comparatively worthless. liut. it
will he along time before tlie Knglish public will
couseul to the adoption of an expedient which
looks to the importation of Africans from the gold |
coast, and au cucour'agr.ment of the now almost,
obsolete man-liuills by the chiefs of the interior.
Louis Napoleon, however, is riot so fastidious,
lie has no K.vetor Hall to conciliate, and regards
... ii.. -
viic iniuic nuiMion as one 01 cneop sugar. I'lnlauthropy
may declare itself horror stiicken at a
renewal of ihc slave trade under (lie plea of encouraging
immigration, and may very reasonably
charge that, after ten years of enforced labor,
very few of the redemptionists will ha found
ulive. And therein no dotiht whatever that those
planters, who hold them in service, will get as
much work out of them, during their limited period
of ownership, ns they possibly can.
But, since slavery was abolished in the British
and French West "lndivi Islands, the plantations
have run to weeds, the planters are reduced to
beggary, ami Kurope is still depen dent upon j
6lavc labor for her supplies of sugar ntnl cotton.
The remedy proposed in England has been adopted
by Franco.
We learn by laic advices that "Ihc contract
recently entered into by the French Government
with a Mnrseillics house for the supply of lo,0Oi>
Africans to Gundaloupo and Martinique, was, it
seems, signed by the French minister ol marine
and foreign aftairs on the one part, and AIM.
Regis, of Marseille?, of the other part, on the 13th
of Alurch last. It stipulates that the latter arc,
within three years, or, if possible, in less time,
to transport 5,0f)0 Maries to Gaudaloupe and as
many to Martinique, there to work under an engagement
fir ten years, at the wages of 1*2
francs (.">0 centimes) a month, out of which each
i i? < - -
, ....j.wnui iia-; it.- |>iiv, 111 1110 rmc o! two
fiv u month, t!it; eost ot' his transport fr?m Afri.which
is estimated at 20i? francs. MM. Regis
undertake to employ in this service large
steam vessels capable of containing 600 passenger.-,
and for cacli adult immigrant, male or feniiile,
they are to receive 50i) francs, or ?'20 sterling.
One of these steamers ha?, we are assured,
already Railed."
It will bit nolc.l tlmt under the above contract
the cost of each African laborer imported into
Guadaloupe and Martinique is not to exceed one
hundred dollars, while the stipulated wages of
tho redemptionists is put at ?9.37 l-~ a month.
At the present cost of slaves for life, this small miiii
will give the advantage to those who hold men
lor a limited term ; and if a sndicient number of
captives can be obtained on these conditions, the
old fashioned slave trade will dio out for want of
patronage. In the meantime, however the Council-General
of Martinique has thrown a dash of
cold water.on tlic contract entered into between
MM. Regis and the French Government. It has
petitioned the Minister of Foreign Affairs to exercise
his reserved authority, and nnnul tho contract
entered into with M. ltogis. Counsels more
liberal engagements with Coolie emigrants, and
u higher premium to such us will consent to
bind themselves to a new term of sorvice. Of
the morality of the new scheme, it is perhaps as
well to say us little as possible.
Tho London Times may approve of it ns a
means of regenerating the waste lands of the
tropica, and the planter* may declarc that its enforcement
would l?e a blessing to the African
race. Look atit, however, in any light we may,
it is but another phase of slavery. It is a confession
that, however, much slavery in the abstract
is to bo abhorred, necessity compels its recognition
in some shape or other. It is undoubtedly
moat mortifying that statesmen of ability
should thus be obliged to retrace their steps, and
veil a re organization of the old traffic under the
flimsy cover of a new name. We are disposed
to regard this movement as one of >niieh more
linn ordinary importance. It foreshadows a new
policy in future with respect to the African race
?a policy, too, which eventually may have a
serious effect upon the perpetuity of slavery in
our own Southern States.?Baltimore Patriot.
The Cotton Crop of 1857 ond *53.?A week
or ton days ago, n communication appeared in tho
N. Y. Journal of Commerce, posl-inurkcd Montgomery,
Alu. giving an estimate of the next coltoil
crop. We of course do not know its author
or his occupation, hu- we shrewdly suspect front
the cxtravtigaiico of his figures, that ho either
ktiows nothing of th^ subject on which he effects
to speak advisedly, or ho singularly misrepresent*
facts, for it is scarcely possible Hint any
man in this section of country could blonder so
widely with any data before him. Think of it!
lie sets down t'?c corning crops at 3,800,000 or
4,000,000 bales! With all the disasters and delay

SLAVE LABOR. 1
In another column will be found an extract
upon the subject of the introduction of slave la- J
bor into the West India Islands. This subject at v
present is exciting great interest, both in l'rancc
and England, and the proposition is being discussed
of introducing Africans into their posses- j
sions, not under the name of slaves, but that of v
Coolies, who are to servo in the capacity of la- v
borers for a term of years. The dilapidated con- ?
dition of the once magnificent sugar and cofTco 1
plantations in Jamaca, ntid the almost barbarous t
state of tho free negroes there, it seems, has \
brought about a change in the sentiments of those 3
who heretofore have been foremost in advocating v
the freedom of the blacks. The increasing demaud
for cotton, and the great desire of Enpland c
to furnish her supplies from her own soil, if pos- ?
siblo, is inducing her thus to nilvocale these r
measures. Self-interest and aggrandisement is t
at the bottom of the project, and philanthropy c
or a disposition to better the condition of the ne- J
gro, has but littlo to do willi it. 6

KANSAS. I
Tlic latest intelligence from Kansas, gives cvi- 1
deuce of more troubles and probable bloodshed J
in that Territory. On tlin 13th iust., it is staled fj
Gov. Wai.ker entered Lawrence with eight com- ']
panics of Dragoons, determined at nil liazzurds 1
to put down the Topcka rebels or drive thoni
from the country. Tlio Governor's proclamation, c
issued at Leavenworth, and dated the 15th, dc- F
claring he would not allow thcin to adopt a city n
charter, seems to have exasperated the citizens
so much tlmt. li?<l -
j iiui hi negotiate li
with him. The Governor had encamped without '
Lawrence in ft threatening attitude mid there jj
was no other alternative but for the rebels to sub- ?
mil or fight. n
We agree entirely with the South Side Demo- J
era/, who, speaking upon this subject says:? ^
" It is high time that tlie laws were vindicated
in Kansas, and the vagabond traitors who went
there for rebellion, sedition, arson and robbery, 1
were taught a lessen they inay turu to profitable t
account. If Walkkr will only maintain the r
inujesty of the law, and hang or shoot a hundred f
or two of them, our friends in the South will for- ^
u
give him, we aro sure, for all the indiscretion lie |
has committed in alteniting to propitiate this I
rebel crew. '

letter-writers in Lawrence. Brown did not re- *
tract. Raelf sent him a challenge, and it was ?
accepted under the strictest pledge of secrecy.? ?

rum the onward march of improvement, they
nist take hold of this enterprise nnd push it on

After these speeches the hooks were opened

At the elo.se of the exercises, a sumptuous dinler

It may not bo uninteresting to our readers to
ie reminded here of the terms upon which the

ip au inch and u half from its usual horizontal
ine, when the sun shines upon it forsoine hours.
Ie stated that the Biinkur Hill monument is
igher iu the evening than in the moruing of n
unn}' day ; the little sunbeams enter the pores
f the stones like so many wedges, lifting it up.
The New York Evening Post says: "It is n
act, of the credit of which we are a little tenaious,
that no editor or printer, as far as we
uow, has ever been sentenced to the State prisn.
Whether that reflects credit upon the craft,

fpon which the Philadelphia Ledger wittily relarks

The progress of the cultivation of wheat in
our own country presents not only a subject of
intense interest, hut also one of great national
congratulation. Prior to the year 1H)0, agriculture.
was confined to the Atlantic States. Preceding
that time, the revolutionary condition of
France, and the war which involved the whole,
of Europe, taken in connection with the limited
space devoted to wheat culture, cntihlcd our farmers
to realize such high prices, that, as a class,
they reveled in unbounded prosperity. In 17 .?(?,
the higher price obtained for Hour, as a natural
consequence, diverted capital from other channels
to be employed in tilling the coil, and, with
this impulse, in the brief space of half a century
we find tlie vast and fertile valley of the Mississippi
reclaimed from nature, and waving with
golden crops. The settlement of California

and in that time Bullitlo and Chicago

of another score of years? Texas, at present
the producer of cotton and sugar, will soon step
into the arena, ns the great wheat-growing State
of the Union. It is calculated that at the very
moment she obtains the means of internal transportation,
by the completion of railways already

and absolutely surpass in value her exports in

One of 11 'nlh'r x " Onrrat ions."?For ourselves,
wo acknowledge au inability to discriminate between
tlio public and private character of an
individual, in so far us to agree that he may be
a scoundrel in one capacity and a patriot in the
other. That (J over nor Walker is not a man of
the highest principles of personal honor will
sufficiently appear from the following uurrativo of
one among many similar financial exploits;
When Kolieit J. Walker was senator fiom
Mississippi , lie ascertained that an old gentleman
in Middlesex county in this State was disposed
to sell a large estate in negroes. Accordingly,
in company with a colleague in the House
of Ueprescntniivcs, Walker made the old gentleman
a visit, and afier a protracted negotiation
succeeded in purchasing the slaves. And
he got them 011 good terms, for the old gentleman?a
devoted democrat?was charmed by the
graceful condescension of the distinguished senator.
Tlio aggregate price of the negroes was
nunieimnp more than forty thousand dollars, for
which Walker gave a note or druft payable in
New Orleans. lJut the old gentleman would
not sell his sluves except on condition mat they
were to be kept together on a plantation in the
South.'
Well, the slaves were taken to Now Orleans,
wero put upon the block and dispersed to the four
winds?the purchaser rculnlizing a considerable j
profit by the 'transaction.*' '1 be note or^ draft
matured, was presented for payment, was pro- 1
tested, and from that day to tliw present time >
not a cent has been received either by the old '
gentleman or his heirs for fifty thousand dollars '
worth of npgroes I Meanwhile, Walker has lived 1
in affluence, and is believed now to bo a millionaire.
Will some one of Walker's apologists impeach
the correctness of this storj' f Let them .
try it. The substantial truth of this statement .
shall be verified by testimony which nobody can
question.

Consumption, Mrs. MA11Y ANDEltSON, in the
3Clli year of her age.
The ilocenticd was a native of Carri?kfergu/^
Ireland, where llie preater portion of lier life was
spent, iniil loving friends and the enchantingscenes
of the Emerald Isle. She early became ov
member of the l'resby terian Chnreh in her native
town, then under tl.ie pastorship of the Rer. Scar,
ton Ileid, and by a consistent walk andconversation,
evinced the truthfulness of her profession.
1'j her protracted illness of more than three
months, she manifested the greatest cheerfulness
and resignation to the will of her Heavenly Father,
and towards tlio closing scenes of her life,
expressed an earnest desire to depart and be at
rest. Far from the sea-girt isle that gave her
birth she sleeps, and a stricken and disconsolate
husband mourns his snd bereavement. May thin
afflictive dispensation of 1'rovidenco be sanctified
to the good of his soul.

breath, when by using the "Balm of a

as alabaster ? Many persons do net know their
breath is bad, and tho subject is so delicate their
