tions oil tlieir side, and may quote it in answer :
to any assertion of our right to interim? in the 1
cause of huuianity. They are free nations, and '
Africa ibu free const. Negroes are necessary t<> j
raise the cotton, sugar, cotlee and tobacco which j
the world wants. The white man cannot work \
under a tropical sun ; and unless the African l>e j
used be u laborer, the fairest regions of the New ,
World must remain u desert. In line, n?-groes
must be had at any cost.; and no nation has a
right to impose its own scrupulosity on other free
communities, if Knglaod haw mined lu-r own
colonicH, that in no reason why she should seek
to check the progress of the whole Aruerieau
continent. Such is the kind of reasoning which
is becoming more common every day ; and we
depend upon it, ilmt in some form or under some
pretext, the slave wnern of the other hemisulu-r.. i
will again attempt to ol>t;tin a supply ofin-gios
from tlie coast of Africa. The recent importa- I
tioa into tlie French colonies bus naturally
aroused their attention, ami it is no wonder that,
we hear it nskcd why a few cargoes ofsuch "emigrants"
could not lie brought to New Orleans or
.Savannah, there to he K-ltled according to the
domestic institutions of ilie Stale. With this
rfetiewe<l vitality of slavery, owing to the rapidly
increasing value of the slave we have now to deal
And it is not by preaching, or protesting, or
threatening, or denouncing, that the objects of
humanity can he attained. The In at generation
were content to be merely destructives; they
broke down the slave syt-iem in the West Indies
withont attempting to replace it by a better, and
the consequence has been the multiplication of
the former evils, and a deepening of the guilt in
which we indirectly participates as consumers of
the d ive raised produce. After twenty \ear.~'
?*p*rience we are now called upon to provide n
remedy. On all sides we hear the same cry?

of all the land now" under cultivation is on I y
nbout 514,807 acres, uud of ibu tuva the sugar
plantations cover only 34,05ft acres. The entire
number of agricultural laborers wording for
s wages in the cidiivntioii of sugar and cocoa is
only 14,000, of whom nearly 8,000 are izurni ^grants
from India and China, introduced at the
public expense. It is found that those ar? l?j' far
better laborers for wage* than the negro, who, it
is fttuted, "will not be (stimulated to greater in
dustry by any increase of wages." And at the

THE MORMON WAR.
It is said that accounts which have been received
at Washii gton fail to coniiriu the opinion
that the Mormons would abandon their settlements
upon the approach of the United States
troop.-, hul thai on the contrary, they are making
every preparation to tight. The War Department.
has determined to reinforce the army
uf Utah, and (Jen. Scott has issued orders for
this purpose. (Jen. Scoi r is said to lie opp sed
to the proposition of sending volunteers from
California to I'lah, and thai the War Departmeat
has given in to his views.

ADVANCING.
The news brought by the four last steamers
"roui Liverpool lias shown a gradual improvement
in the Cotton Market. The report of the
^scedingly small stock in our Southern ports, ns
compared with the stock for tho same time lust
year, has perhaps contriliiited much to the opinion
in Europe that the crop will be much less
Jinn Hint of 18f>6; and hence, cotton may not
iiaintuin even its present price when the extent
)f the crop in more fully ascertained. The crop
ivill certainly equal that of Inst year, and when
ivo consider the number of Factories that have
suspended, we must see that the demand will be
cm. Hence, wo conclude Ihut the pluutcrs have
10 reasonable assurance that prices for this crop
vill average more than those of the last.
It will require more time than has lieen sup>oscd,
for the financial world lo recover from its
ionvulsion. Tlie planter cannot reasonably hope
o realize more than 10 to 12 cts. on cotton for
ome months, and perhaps a year, to come; and
or this and other reasons, we tliiuk it advisable
o sell cotton whenever 10 cents can be ill ad for
t. The sale of (he Cotton crop and SJUiyment

of the Indian mutiny within six months of the v
day that it lirst broke out and carried terror
through the country. On every point, the rein-Is
have been met, defeated and dispersed. The
lower provinces on the one side are perfectly ''
tranquil. On the other, the I'linjuiih, Delhi, 11
