If Frecsoil and Abolition agitation lias been attended with many evils in this country, it has sorved, in our opinion, at lu tsl, vne good end. It lias aroused the people c tlie Southern section of llio Union to insider, in a spirit of wise foieeaste, the expediency of making a powerful and sustained effort to establish, somewhat within Southern latitudes, and for the especial strength and prosperity of the Southern States, some great depot of foreign trade with the leadinir nations of Kuronc. Thus. in ilits matter, the old Spanish proverb seems verified, " It is an ill wind that blows nobody good,.11 We do not mean to declare, or so to insinuate?far from it?that Mr. Mann's enterprise is founded in the conception of the people of Virginia, or of nny other Southern State, in a sentiment of hostility towards Northern commercial development; but, nevertheless, we bi-licve it will be sustained and consummated with tbo fixed and comprehensive purpose of securing to the South tho safest position for the future. Our Northern friends may I e assured that there is neither unfriendliness nor foolish jealousy in this business, but only a good deal of wholesome energy and prudence. It is even | ossible, as all must -admit, (though we trust not probable) that there may be, one of these days, another Freesoil or Abolition raid -against the Constitution and the just and equal principles of the Government?another programme of Fremont and the " Ilig' cr Law"?another spasmodic movement of the agrarian masses of the North and Hast?when the fierce and lawless genius of Disorganization may not only come near success, as recently, but be actually successful ; and in that ever t, New York might not continue to be, what it now is, the commercial metropolis of an American Union. And in any event, the producing classes of the Southern Stales, who are compelled by the present system "to -expend millions every year in commissions, .freights and exchanges, while disposing of the products of their skill and labor, reoo'nimg nothing hy way of equivalent, from the Northern merchants or ship-owners, should endeavor to free themselves from this -enormous tax, which cannot be done except by opening and maintaiug avenues of direct tvans and inter oceanic communication with Europe and Soutli America, exporting their own industrial products in their own marine, and importing goods in return for their domestic consumption.? AVe are absolutely convinced that there U no other way under the sun for the Southern people to obtain relief from the compulsive and absorbing currents of Northern capital, tending with an increasing impetus and enlarged influence, as each day passes, to sweep the wealth of the cotton, sugar, tobacco and rice planting Suites into ono vast stream of tribute to the riches and power of the North. The Convention of Merchants ami Planters recently assembled at Old Point Comfort, Virginia, over which our able and respected Ex-President John Tyler presided, seems to have inaugurated the scheme of Southern commercial independence uudcr most auspicious circumstances. Although with the view of preventing speculation in the stocks of the Company, a subscriber was only permitted to tako a single share, uiore than 1*20,000 were contributed on the spot by the members of the Convention, an?l n tlm *.Si ..f 11 n .v?* Vt Miv v>ii6Viia UI uuU bllWIU county. There can be, we think, but little doubt tbat Virginia, N.

It is true, that we can hardly con. template the realization of Mr. Maim's idea . - <^%A great South Atlantic seaport unless we can count on some other commercial elements besides that, of sufficient capital to btfild and equip a few sea-going steamers. |3u?may hot Norfolk justly claim to possess advantages in which are embraced all the first-rat?tetcmlfils of commercial success, andjvhich have only to*be*appreciated and prepay directed to altract tho mercantile and ^Msineff. enterprise?not of .tho albner.lmt-Alio entire country.

Cincinnati is said to enjoy an annual commerco of a hjjndffe^ rpiHions.^ J^ouisvilte is supported by no extensive back country, and its busi|mh is very considerable. St. Tx>uis, besides its extensive doftMtjc and back couutry trade, js known to be quite extensively engaged in foreign importation, conducted through tyew York, all of which she might do much more speedily, safely and cheaply from ft port like Norfolk, on the 6horeu of tlio Chesapeake. So much for the West and ffvrlh-we&t. Wlien we coijju U? glance towards the South-west, wo discover that the Virginia ami Tennessee railroads, with only a few miles of connection unfinished, will bring Norfolk and Memphis, on the lower Mississippi, within a few hours of j business communication of each other.? j This line, loo, will undoubtedly serve as j the principal conduit <>f supply and demand for Arkansas and Texas; and should the Pacific road he ever undertaken and corncompleted, it will no doubt act as one of the most important, il* not the most important, of all the numerous arteries running j from the main track of that continental ! hiirhwav to (lilliTi'lil. I mill Im of flir> M-nilif seaboard. From Memphis, by 11113* practicable route lo New York, the distance is almost twice that to Norfolk. Kesides this j immense extent of back county?the mast j fertile on earth?that, looking Loth to time i and the expense of carriage would thus I naturally seek a commercial outlet through the Chesapeake, Hay Norfolk, it must he borne in mind, is more eligibly s'tuated than any other city in the Union, for easy access and departure at all seasons of the year, and for depth of water. It can boast the finest harbor and roadstv ad on tho Continent. It can at all times command a depth of more than thirty feet of water. Thus ships of the largest dimensions, like the great /Zustern, can easily approach Norfolk, when the bars ami shoals unfortunately obstructing the channels hading into New York, render, it impossible for ships of this class to visit that city. The larger the vessel, it is said, tho greater the motive power which can be applied ; and if it ever so happen?what is highly probable indeed ?that steamships of extraordinary tonnage shall cioss the ocean from Norfolk to Liverpool, Milford Haven, or Havre, twentyfour hour in advance of steamers from New York, then it is apparent that this single element of time, so precious as to be invaluable in mercantile transaction, will override every other consideration whatever, when based on tln-se advantages to which we have already adverted. \Ye re fur the reader, in conclusion, with the utmost satisfaction, to the gratifying proceedings of the Convention at Old l'oint Comfort, and we await the issue, respecting this rare plan, with the utmost confidence of a triumphant solution. We would advise those \*ho have money to invu-t?the capitalists of the Northern and Kustcrn cities?instead I of continuing a course of insane speculation in wild Western lauds, calculated before long (o bring ruin to hundreds and thousands, to seek the James and Elizabeth rivers, ami (he cmiiigious region ; for unless all ihe signs fail us, ihcte arc millions on millions of dollars yet to be made by those who shall move at a proper time and in a proper way in this direction. Anrrdulc of' John Ildnrfvl/ih.?lie was traveling through part of Virginia in which he was unacquainted. During the time he stopped a night at an inn near the forks of the road. The innkeeper was a fine gentleman, and no doubt one of the first families of the Old Dominion. Knowing who his distinguished guest was, he endeavored during the evening to draw him into a conversation, but failed in all his ellorts. 1 Wit in the morning, when Mr. Randolph was ready to set out, he called for his bill, which, on being presented, was paid. The landlord, "still anxious to have some conversation with him, began as follows: " Which way are you traveling, Mr. Randolph r "Sir," said Mr. Kitndolph, with a look of displcnttire. " I asked," said the landlord," which way arc you traveling ?" ; >. "Have 1 paid you my bill ?" "Yes." " l>o I owe you any thing more?" ' " " X?>." ' " Well, I'm going just where I please5 do you understand ?" " Y ei.M The hindlord by this time got somewhat excited, and Mr. Randolph drove off; but, to the landlord's surprise, in a few minutes sent one of his servants to inquire-which of iho forks-of the road to take. Mr. Randolph not-being oul of hearing distance, the land lord spoke at tho top of his voice, " Mr. Randolph, you don't owe me one cent;just take which road you -please."

Wo arc apt to look upon Switzerland as a laud of religious as well as civil freedom. In the admiration with which we read the accounts of the struggle that the cantons have maintained against foreign domination, we overlook the domestic tyranny which still disfigures their government. In many parts of Switzerland the people are excessively bigoted. The cantons arc divided between Protestant and Catholic, and one religion generally predominates m each, without much admixture of the other. In some of the cantons those professing the form of religion held by the minority are not eligible to ulHco or allowed to vote. Sumo of the severest battles in Switzerland Itavo been fought between the diHuront cantons solely on religious grounds. Separated from each other by mountains tliat are passable only by narrow paths, and in the winter completely shut out from each other, speaking different languages, and divided into hostile churches, and having scarcely anything in common but a love of. independence and a hatred of the despotisms that surrounded them, and from which their own territory had been torn piecemeal and defended by the sword, the Swiss were slow in arriving at a federal j government that contained tho first elements of strength. It was not finally ' accomplished without a civil war, in which tho combatants were divided nearly by religious lines, the minority and the defeated party being the Catholics. They were encouraged by l'Yance and Austria, which looked with great concern upon the formation of a consolidated government which should give a national character to Switzerland, and place her among the powers of Jiu rope. Uuder the new constitution, which is in many respects similar io our own, tlie country is making rapid advances in national greatness. A common currency lias been adopted, telegraphs have liecn estah lislied all over the con federation in connection with the post office, and messages arc transmitted at rates wonderfully low, in comparison with those of other parts of Europe. A railroad system has been planned, and some of the lines have already been opened. This will connect all parts of Switzerland, and will join the French railways on one side and the (lennan on the other, and by a tunnc! through the Alps will connect with the Italian. With this increased communication came also a more liberal feeling, and a greater common interest, liut a good deal of dissatisfaction was caused by the indisposition of an indemnity upon the defeated cantons for the expense of the civil war which broke out against the plan of (he confederation. These cantons were I lie least able to bear it, and its remission would have been an act of politic magnanimity. In many of the cantons llie bitterness of the religious differences remains, and the prejudices against the Jews arc very deep, and the laws severely unjust. There was a natural disposition on the part of the Federal Government to form a treaty with the United States, and one was negotiated . several years ago by Mr. Fay, our Minister resident at Heme. This treaty provided, as usual with our treaties of amity and commerce, that the citizens of cacli nation should have the right to enter and pcacea bly remain in the territory of the oilier. This the Swiss Government was unable to stipulate ; for some of the cantons excluded Jews from their territory, and the Federal Government had no more authority over the cantonal laws than our Congress has over the Stale governments. Mr. Webster, who was Secretary of State at the time, refused to modify the treaty to meet those liberal laws, and thus, by implications, to make our Government a j?artv to the imposition of a religious disability. Subsequently a new treaty was negotiated, and the objectionable clause was modified as folows: "The citizens of the United States of America and the citizens of Switzerland shall bo admitted and treated upon a footing of reciprocal equality in two countries, where nucli submission and treatment shall not conflict with the constitutional or legal provisions, as well federal as State nnd Qantonal, of the contracting parties," &c. fcc. This treaty was accepted by Gen. Pierce and ratiBed by the Senate. Although it is clothed in very general terms, the clause which we have copied is a practical consent 011 ojur part to laws which aro unworthy of tlie ago and of Christianity, and quito against the spirit of our institutions. An American Jew is denied in Switzerland tlio rights that we accord to every citizen of that republic. In so far the treaty is not equal,, and although little practical evil may arise uuder it, we hope our government will bear ib> testimony to perfect religious freedom by giving the earliest notice that it admissible to terminate it. And if Switzerland cannot consent to treat our citizens alike, we can wait for a treaty til) sho grows more liberal.?Providence Journal. < .

It: a former article wo adverted to the memory of the South, that we might draw thence an argument for adhering to our sister States, which produced eminent and patriotic men, wlio hazarded their lives in the common cause. But tho South was rich iu statesmen, too, whose quick sympathies vibrated in unison with our own in the hour of danger. Could anything bo more expressive of their devotion iu us man me lact Mat wlicn news was received of tlio passage by Parliament of the bill .shutting up the port of Boston? commonly called tlie Uoston l'ort ltill?all Virginia was roused to indignation ; and as if some great and sad calamity bad fallen on the colonies, licr people set apart a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, as the records of the house of Ihirgesses has it, "devoutly toimploro the divine interposition for averting tlio heavy calamity which threatened destruction to their eivil rights, and the evils of a civil war; to give them one heart and one mind firmly to oppose, by all just and proper means, every injury to American rights."

Then arose that genius for the times?Patrick llenry?then shone his cnglo eye, and was raised his mighty arm. in the cause of freedom alike at the north and tlie south. Richard Henry Lee, another pioneer of I'Vedom, warns us against the follies of these times. He originated the first resistance to British oppression as exhibited iu the Stamp Act of 17G.). He moved the declaration of independence, Juno 1, 17Y0.? He composed those memorials to Croat Britain, which liad such a living spirit in | them, genius demanding justice, patriotism insisting on right. Arthur Lee his brother, was also a steadfast friend to his country, an indefatigable worker for her interests.? John and Kdward llntledge, both of South Carolina, were eminent in their attachment to the cause of independence, and efficient iu their dibits for the promotion of that cause. The former was Chief Justice of the United Stales. The doctrine of nullification and secession was then unknown.? Those noblo men acted in nernetual con. cert. Of such .is tliesc was Kichard Bland, .1 distinguished member of the House of Burgesses, who in 17G8 was one of a committee resolutely and ably to remonstrate against parliamentary taxation without representation, a measure that roused the spirit of opposition never to be allowed until independence was achieved. In 1774 he was a member of the immortal Continental Congress. Declining a second election by rcasou of advanced age, lie declared that he should ever be animated to support the glorious cause in which America was engaged. He was succeeded by Francis Light foot Lee, who had the honor of putting his name to the Declaration, soon to be celebrated throghout the country. Mr. Wirt pronounces this gentleman one of the most enlightened men in the colmiv ? ? J , ? man of finished education, and of the moot unbending habits of application. His perfect mastery of every faot connect with the progress and settlement of the colony had given him the name of tho Virginia Antiquary. lie was a politician of the first class, a profound logician, and was also considered the first wiiter in the country. To these wo must add the name of llenry Laurens, who succeeded Hancock as President of tho revolutionary Congress, and distinguished himself for determined opposition to the arbitrary claims of England. Deputed to negotiate a loan in Holland, ho was captured on his passage, and incarcerated in the tower at Lyndon on a charge of high treason, but was eventually released, as muo^rom policy as justice.
