It whs very much as if tlio |i>\ in the fahlc, while expatiating on Ih?* evil* of tails, bail been busily engaged in tilting limit-el T with an artificial ti|i|>eiidnjr<.<. Nevertheless, there ore some people in this country who Mill make a pretence ot believing th;il the abolition of negro slavery in the United States would be a l ottree of great, benefit, morally, socially and economically. They insist oil having the experiment tried here, not withstanding its hiiiientalib' failure wherever it has been attempted. Were member once reading of a youth who was lectured by his father un tlieiinpiopriety of his conduct, his dissipations anil his excesses. When yon are an old num. ns I am," said the parent, "you will see the folly of it." "Well, father," replied the graceless scamp, "I warn to see the folly of it, too." It is useless to lecture our Ale oliti-.iilists on the injurious tendencies of thcii theories; it is worse than useless to reason with >hem on grounds of constitutional right: it i? utterly superliuons to tell them that the Abolition experiment has boon tries! and denounced, even ^ y ils inventors, as not only a palpable humbug, but mi egregious folly. All this time and reason thrown away; they are bent on seeing the lolly of it themselves; ami if they alone were to be nfleeted, we should ofll-r no objectieu to their stubborn in fat nation. We <lo not intend now to discuss the mtc>fion 111 slavery culler wnti or l<>r I lie Altolitionisls; our tlo?ij*n just now is simply lo reca'l I lie all -nlion of imr readers lo (lie extracts we have given from n Jamaica |>:i]>r-r cniilniniii'r the acUnowle<Igelnen(s and ? pinions which could scarcely havo liern expected to appear in any paper pub)-J wi.'hin the British i<>u~. The Northern Abolitionists, or M?eh of tliein as condescend to irivo reasons fur their faith, allirin continually thai free lahor is more protital>l<: than slave lahor. They its-ist on this proposition not vnly in J'eijard lo their own communities, which have heon organized on the free lahor system, lull as of general ami unlimited application wherever the industry of man is devoted lo the production of wealth. Tiie Imiiaiea ./diu'iih/, pnhlislieil in a community which has tested ho h tjieories and experienced h?>!h systems, lioMly proclaims I hat slave hdior is more profitable iiian free labor. One of lite a^iniientMiio<;t frequently present oil l?y the Abolition economists is the assumed dilfcrcnee in the value of real estate at tho North and real estate at. the South.? They tell lis that farm lands in the Northern Slates are worth a fabulous amount p?t acre, while in the Southern Stales the same bind of lauds are worth a much less stun?anil the tliflerrnce in the price they attribute to the absence of slavery in 'be one ease and I he presence of slavery in the oilier. Whether llie assumed superiority lu the value ol lands is any proof of superior prosperity, or whether llie difference is dependent in any way on the existence or non-existence of African slavery, we shall noislopto iuipiire.? I'.til if the prieo of real estate is in fact such an eminent and infallible test of prosperity; we should like our anti slavery economists lo consider the contrast, presented by Cuba nn<l Jamaica, and IiiJOIirilii if. with l.l?<?5r : - __ V.i?"IIV.-5. 1 HIS contrast is strongly insisted on by t he paper to which wo have allu<li.il- " Look," nays llie Jour/ml, ''at tlm value of real estat e (in Culm;) vnnpifre it with tliat of freeholds in Jamaica.? The price paid for one single estate there is I'SnO,OHil (s; l,n(M,Hoi>.) This is the condition of t'ulia under the slave system. Now look at Jamaica under the free. W hat lias been the result ? Why the price of real estate fell to limbing after it could not lie sold, and when a sale was made the land was actually given away?the price paid for n freehold not more than equaling the valuo of its live and dead stock. Ituar in mind that previous to free labor Jamaica was as prosperous ?.h Cubs; land ruled high, estate* flourished, and all the wide-spread ruin we now see lias been subsequent to emancipation." This is a picture which in somber coloring will vie with the pictures of the South drawn by llie Abolition limners. There is one diflerence, however, which recommends the Jamaica artist to a .much higher consideration. While our Abolitionists are forced to appeal entirely to their imagination:', he paints from nature herself. The consequence is, that while Abolition pictures are merely caricatures of things only seen in disordered visions, llie Jamaica landscape is a faithful reproduction of things actually existing.?A".

Recent advices from Ivuiihus report an intense I excitement as existing at Leavenworth, owing to ' the discovery of an organized gang of murderers, of whom two had been hung. Gov. AVai.KEu is said to he still at Lawrence, with an increased military force. The time designated for the 5 meeting in Convention to adopt a Constitution in fust approaching, and the citizens nro looking $ forward to that period with no small degree of f interest. From present indications we think ' thero is but little hope for the success of the Southern cause. The unflagging zeal of Northr em fanaticism, we fear, will seal the fate of the' ' country, so far as slavery is concerned. The , followhirr f. - ? ( ? ??..? it vine correspondence, j written by nn emigrant from thin State to Kan' bus, and who lifts been elected a delegate to (lie ^ Convention, will biiow something of the coudil tion of affairs as they now exist: , <? There is quite a tulk hero ubout what Kan^ sas will be. One week the pro-slavery men feel , sanguine, next tho freo-soilers. Would to God . the South would send us a largo importation of I voters by next September. From all that can j bo gathered, the Convention will submit the t question of Slavery to the resident citizens o( Kansas, on or about Ine first of October next? Then will tlie fate of this beautiful country, this 1 land of promise, be-sealed forever.

Political Gossip.?It is stated in political circles that the American party, encouraged by t ho dissensions springing up i:i the ranks of the Uv..i<~.iav.>, v.-j":i;nuiy ui in<j .--xiimi, where .Mr. I Buchanan's endorsement of Gov. Walker's pol- I icy in Kuiimis causes much dissatisfaction among tin; extremists, are preparing to revive their ! organization anil enter into the coniiiiu campaigns with new spirit. They iinil it dill'mult to fuse either with the lieptiblicuus or the Democrats, and they think there are si^us which indicateagood opening in the future for their party, standing on national grounds anil repudiating the proscriptivc spirit and policy charged against them. In this citj- the local divisions of tlia Democracy and the. unsatisfactory position of the Republicans offer, man}- of the American leaders think, a good chance fur their party to win a good share of the ofliuc/ in the next municipal election. With this view, they are encouruging their followers to organize for another contest, and their counsel will probably be followed ir. most of the wards. In the Htntc they will no d'jubt generally maintain t heir separate organization, to as to lie prepared for any oppoilunities j which may oiler to promote their prospects for the next presidential campaign. If tho disintegrating process should go on in the Democratic party during .Mr. Buchanan's administration, limy think that the}' would form tho basis of a 1 Union party opposed to a purely sectional'anti- ; slavery party.?Nea York Situ.

The idea was entertained (l?nl soon almndoncd as impra.otie.vl.le) of employing I'.iiropoan labor, but the cost was tcrrilie?for it included the sacrifice of human life. In warm tropical climates it is utterly impossible that white lulior cun bo employed. 1'lns African race, and that raco only, are capable of working under the heat of those regions. The while man speedily sinks under it. Therefore, it is limited to one race only. When William (?ladsloiio was Colonial Sceretary of Filmland, he saiielioncd the introduction of Coolies into the West Indies, thinking that the free labor of a raco born in and adapted for hot climates, would lie advantageous. In point of fact, this was slavery under a new liamo and phnsis. We hav some curiosity to know the proportion, per cent., of thcCooliu free-laborers who , returned to their native place. Most of them, ! we suspect, were " used up" before tho term of their "free" servitude was elided. Considerable sensation arose in Filmland, during the past month, in oonscjiienae of the announcement that, in Martinique, as many as "<><) "free"' negroes had been imported from Africa, to s?rve sis apprentices, for I en years', with lib- | erty t'> return home when th? decade had expired?by that time, in all probability, tlic " free apprentices'' will have expired also, lor the actual j necessity, as a mailer of peeuniary interest, (to j say nothing of common humanity,) wliicli coin- ! pels a Southern planter to avoid overworking (lie j .-laves, his property, will not exist here. I'lie i piineiple will, most probably, be to get" the full vulueof tlioir wajes out of them. As to negroes IVomi Afiica going anywhere, at their own free wil and pleasure, llie idea is: imply absurd.
