' N , - *Tht Duty ?f the loitk. Tuk New York Hwemng Pott has a full report of a long addrcws on this sutiect by the notorious Theodore Parker. We ex traotthe following statistical and political paragraph*: These 909,000 slaveholder* own 4,000,000 of bondmen, whose market value is at least $2,000,000,000. These slaves are engaged chiefly in agricultural labor. Tiiey prod nee cotton and tobacco, which form con siderablj, more than one-third (tart of all j the exports of the country. Now, as the 300,000 slaveholders own the $2,'>00,000, 000, and furnish $1,000,000 of value to be exported every year, that gives them great power in the money market. Accordingly * they control the money markets in this country ; they control the lending capitalists, the great merchants and the gioat manufacturers. There are sonic very honorable excco lions, but, as a general thing, slavery contiols the great capitalists. Controlling these, slavery is lord of most of the great commercial centres. It is master of Baltimore, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, with all the vessel towns which are subordiante to these. \v iien?oovi r the ?>!! u pHved with stone?the stone of commerce and concentrated wealth?there slavery is the master. This is the way it gets pecuniary power.? Now, controlling llio pavement master of I the parse, it easily controls the wealthy pulpits of all denominations. There are ?? ?' . very honorablu^xcent'^y** email ' vTcmity j ^ ^d 5^ j neca not 0?*a ^reat way fr>?in the city of New York to find some of them. But, as a general thing, the satno power which controls the press controls also the pulpit. Now, see how our masters at the South have used the power which we have given them. First, Slavery apjHiints the President. Of twelve Presidents, eight wero horn in the slavo States, and four in the Northern States; and of these the one most Northern in his birth is Southernmost in hi* politics. For ho who w as l>orn iu the Old Granite State of New Hampshire, nearest ihc North Star of Liberty, has gone down, like the scr- j pent in the Book of Genesis, crawling on his 1 belly, that he may do his master's w ill, cat | the devil's dust". < ?f the eight Southern Presidents, five have been re-clecled ; of the four Northern, not one has been chosen twice. The South has had her Piesident fifty-two years; the North sixteen. But there never has been ;in anti-slavery President.? As the Vice President, however, is only the fifth wheel to a cannon, while the South has ' had six, the North has been allowed eight,1 and one of these was actually put on the! l'residetial axle, and served to carry the Federal cannon where it did most efficient service for slavery. In consequence of that service the new American party has just nominated Mr. Filliuore foi its Southern platform. Slavery next ai.points the Judiciary. Out of thirty-five Judges of the Su prerae Court, nineteen have been from the South,, and sixteen from the North. Audi the Chief Justice, who moulds these vessels. ?I was going to say of honor?of dishonor, just as he will, is almost always a Southern | man. The oldest man here cannot remember when tho North had the chief justiceship, for it was sixty years ago. The North has held it for eleven years, and the South for fifty five. There have been thiriytive Attorney Generals, and to ei<iht from t he North there have been fifteen from the South. Iu 1834 there had been two liund-, red and sixteen men appointed to diplomatic offices; of these ninety nine were from the North and. one hundred and seventeen from i the South.. Our masters must always have > the largest uumbor. Hut these figures do . uot describe the enormity x?f the fact. For at the present day, in all our disploiuntic offices, there is uot n single man aboard who was ever known even :o ha\*e uttered an auti-Blavery word. And if any man of tliein should now utter a single word for freedom,; the next steamer would carry out his recall. Thus Slavery controls the great offices of the1 country. t [ _ I From Washington. Wasiiinoto.v, April 2. Thk Senate debate on the subject of the action of the Naval lictiring Hoard continues to be very exciting. Many of the ablest men in the Senate have taken decided and opposite views of this subject. It is no longer discussed in a very calm and temperate tone, even by Senators of the gravest char acter?as witness the sharp passages which occurred yesterday between Mr. Hell and Mr. Clayton. The debate is likely to continue for a long Vine yet, to the prejudice of other business, and the result is very doubtful. Hut the bill, as reported from the Ronate Committee on naval atfuirs. is more likely than any other to pass; and even that affords some relief to meritorious officers, who nsay seek an investigation of the cause of their dismissal or retirement, but was forced upon tue majority of the Committee by the strong expression of public opinion and tiic sentiment of Congress. The Union of this morning pursues the subject of the recent manifestations in favor of Mr. llucliannn, as the candidate of tho Democracy for the Presidency, and insists that issue.on the Nebraska questiou, which is the prominent issue in the presidential contest, is evaded by that manifesto. Coincident with this move, we have u rumor thai the President and Mr. l>ouglas also will throw their weight, in the couvention 1 against Mr. Uuchanau, and in favor of Mr.,1 lTunter, of Virginia?the latter absolutely, and the former, in case Ire cannot, unite up ( ou himself the tiro-thirds vote. The Fremont stock appears to be rising in the Republic market here. Not only Mr. J. P. 14lair but Horace Greeley are in favor of hie nomination by the Republican party. Mr. SmnJia not spokeu of by his own Mends a* the candidate, though he is mentioned, as I see, by the Now Vork Urratd, from day to dar, alternately with FiedeHek I' lhitiglas. ^ MaBMaBBBBBHHMHHBHMMMHBI ' m m ' ' "' ' " 11 'Tl - * ' "' '" ' ' Mr. Budiuun it now called upon to oxplain bit position on the Nebraska question.

It has building .Jagjjjj. ^ nfor accommodating the travelling public, seven stores, four groceries, one drug store, one newspaper, (Kansas Pioneer) two black miiiiu suops, one cuurcu euineo, one school house, two flivery stables, Ac., Jbe. A very large hotel building, nearlov completed, will be ready and opened by the la*, of April, and can easily accommodate two hundred and fifty guests. Some six or seven stores, twenty odd dwelling houses, one livery sta blc, two churches^ and numerous other build ings are in progress. These improvements are all the work of citizens, and it shows the 1 amount of faith we have .that it will be the I great city on the Missouri river in this great [ Kansas Territory. What the new colliers will erect or do time alone will tell. We are in great need of good mechanics ; wages arc extremely high. Mechanics, working-men and professional men coining to the Territory will do well to make this their landing. Kickapoo is four miles above Weston, Missouri, and has an excellent steam ferry-boat crossing the river every fifteen minutes. There has been discovered three coal veins (bitumiuous) in and near the city. All make, as far as has k< en examined, a very profitable appearance. I Slave Property in the United States. ?According to llitl'nilcd Slates census for | 1850, there were then in the slave States three million one hundred and ninety-five thousand nine hundred and fifty-one slaves. ' Taking six hundred dollars as average, and allowing for the material increase since 1850, the total value of slaves in'the United States ; at this time is estimated At two thousand million of dollar?, the aiiual interest of the slave projHirty of tho United States. Yet it is estimated by an Able writer in Blackwood's Magazine, that tho loss of productive p opi-rty iu laud houses, machinery, and i implements of various kinds which were rendered valueless hyeraancipation, was not ! less than four times the amount of the whole value of the slaves. Calculate then theenor inous financial niin that would follow the trumpli of abolitionism in the United States! It is wounderful that the South should be sensitive in view of the fact that a formidable party, strong' enough to elect a Speaker of the House of Representatives, and a President of the United States, (if the election should be thrown, as is not improbable, up! on the House,) exists in the non-slaveholding States, whose avowed object is to abolish slavery, to rob six millions of Southerners of two tuousaud millions of property, and of the incalculable amount of other property ' which would be rendered valueless by eman ti patios; to say nothing of all the horrors 01 | civil and servile war, which woulJ n?ceua niyfcaccouipanyrtne attempt to nccomplisl this stupendous and unparralleled wrong ?

Wiit Satan Nevkr Disturbs a Woman.?Mohammedans relate the following j story as an authentic and veritable piece of "tradition," illustrative of tbe fact that the devil himsslf has duties to perform in the world, and that all things would go wrong if lie were to be idle, nnd neglect them, vix: ! "In the dnvs of Mohammed there was an j Arab who had n very pretty wife. Tbe devi il transformed himself into so exact and ac, curnlo a likeness of her husbnud that she could not for the life of her tell which of the f two was her husband, Both claimed her? i. e., the real husband aud the devil in his , likeness. "Tie case excited much interest in the ,? neighborhood, but no solution of the difficulty could be obtained. At length the case was brought before his majesty, the Proph, et, for a solution, Maliommed after a little reflection, hold up a certain earthen pot in , his hand with a spot like a teapot, and said to them both. , "Now, whichever is the real husband, will enter tbis vessel by the spout, and tbus es, tablish his claim to the somnn." ; "The devil, as having more capacity in , that way than the sturdy Arab of real desti , and bones, entered at once into the pot, as f suggested. The moment he entered, Mo. hammed closed the top of the spout, and " kept him shut in. But by the time Mohammod had kept hii excellency shut up for n few days in thai earthen pot it was ascertained that the world was getting wrong in its machinery. r Mohammed was therefore constrained to lei i the devil out froin his confineibent, to tak< . his necessary place in the management ? f the affairs of the world.
