UADWJLY S SA LMAl'AKU. MAK R E ^OLVESfT floods of hungry visiting friends who pour iu at meal times—and, xminonly, at no other. Silas \Vegg was nothing in effrontery and appetite, when compared with them. Soon, we will have a practical demonstration of the problem, how long will a nation exist when has nothing to wear, and nothing to cat? The truth of our position, that the negro, when left to himself, will not long remain an efficient laborer, is proved by the history of Hayti. In 1789,thc exports of that part of the island, in sugar, amounted W one hundred and forty-one millions of pounds. The Trench forsook it, and since 1S31 it hag hardly *xportcd a pound. But the negroes had to subsist somehow, and they did it on the plan which entails the least exertion, by devotiong themselves to the collection and exportation of the spontaneous produets of their island, cabinet woods, etc. In order that it may bo fully comprehended how in excusable these people are for not being among the the richest on the globe, it will be necessary to state a few facts not popularly known. In the first place, the bananas and plantains, which constitute the principal food \jt‘ Tltxj via. Superimposed on the traits which have been discussed, is the paralysing one—ficXleuefs That quality which fixes a purpose, and directs toward its attainment the course of a life, he wants altogether. True, the scope of his mental power does not admit s very lofty pursuit; but fierscversnce is as necessary to the accumulation of moneyed wealth. In him, however, there is a never-sleeping rest lessness continually urging on'to change; and when the desire awake within him, change he will at any east. Domestics leaves their imployers, even though the breaking of their contracts should entail the loss of the wages of months. Plantation laborers desert their cotton corps jnst as the rich boils arc about to burst, and it is nothing unnsuai to see vast fields of this precious staple lying uncar ed for and ungathcred, while the earth is white with dollars. Nor is this all. They are iu the highest degree, improvident. What money they make is recklessly lavish ed on the most worthless objects. They are the only people,iu the South, who take pleas ure rides on hired horses and drives in hired vehicles. They smoke cigars, wear flashy je-velry. sports canes, and patronize broadcloth. Wo know of only one negro who owns a piece of real estate, after five years wherein almost every cent made eonld have been saved. “And why take ye thought for raiment ? Consider tiie lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do thy spin Therefore take no thought 1 saying: What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or, wercwithal shall we clothed? Take, therefore, no thought for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof” Could we believe that the course of this people was directed by-these injunc tions instead of by their innate thriftless, however little we might think of the intcr- nretatimi made, we would at once point to it 'nstinct deters from it, if we can speak (f instinct at all, as appertaining to man.

And, in addition to all those vices and ruinous weaknesses transcending all and damning the race, is the rampant murder which stalks through their lowly and hidden fVfriran nice; to the sensual negro, human flesh is but an object of sense—mors flesh. Among the negroes moral sentiments are quite weak, or more strictly speaking, non existent. Parents sell their children, and conversely, children their has either has the opportunity.” AVe make these extracts to show what thc basis of the negro disposition i-—‘'contempt for humanity.” Now place beside this psy- cidogical feature the peculiar circumstances of his situation, and the explanation of his sudden and deep leap into bloodshed is giv en. The negro has never made a distinction between submission to the will of individuals and subordination to the regulations of com munities. They were aware of a govern ment being exercised over them, but since their owners were the present and over-visi ble power by which they were controlled, they saw not thc higher though more remote agency which dominated all. To the fiat of their masters alone did they look ; nud his hand only did they feel. Consequently, the removal of this) restraint was .equivalent to thj removal of every regulating power ; and as they had long been held to the strictest order, they rushed into the most unbounded license. Not only was full play allowed to characteristics before existent and recognized although restrained in a great degree; but also, germs of passions and traits which have heretofore been so completely dormant, as to have escaped the observation of all, have burst into rapid and deadly growth. In re gard to these homicides, the Southerner may feci thankful that one significant fact com pletely exhonorates him from responsibility in the matter. lf« might be charged with oppressing and exasperating thc negro, until they arc driven by desperation to the com mission of these sanguinary deeds, were it not that by far the groater quantity of blood is between themselves, lie might be charg ed with instigating and abetting the slaugh ter (for he has enemies black-hearted enough to accuse him of anything) could he not which are desirable and lucrative. In a word, they are vastly more troublesome than ‘brmerly. Tho effect of this is what might ■ave been foreseen from their low ideas of was t leered by both. These institutions laid the foundation of that power which af terward swayed the world. In the four teenth century, the nobles succeeded ia wresting away the entire authority of the people, aod an oligarchy was established on the ruins of the republic.

The world has no conception of point to Hayti. and nhow, in its history, hi? the mud saturnalia on which thc negro is I exculpation. The sixty-six years of its in- entering. The dreadful truth flashed upon us suddenly, and before the horrible revela tion, our sou! shrank aghast as if the loath some pool of Malgubolge had opened beneath our feet. Formerly, the record of his crimes had embraftd nothing more flagrant than petty larceny. Now, beside the tremendous increase in this respect which the criminai doctors in every county show, frequent rapes and humieidas mustke added to his account. Our attcntioi was directed to this fact by reading in a riiglc paper of no less than six fatal affrays. Of the sis sufferers, five were negroes, and ore a white by of fourteen, who was cut open with an axe by n negro whom he had .struck for cursing his little brothers. Of the six perpetrators, five were known to be negroes, and the sixth was unknown. Thus, then, of the twelve parties engaged in these combats, ten were negroes, one white boy, and one unknown. Here was a atari ling fact. We turned our- thoughts to thc five years just past, and saw how there had been a rapid and continou* progress in blood shed, and that ra'L ; t infamoni of crimes, rape, amongst this peopi-;. We remembered nu merous instances of not murd-r merely, hut that soul sickning phase of it which takes thc names of fratricide, parricide—-md that for which our language has no mum, the murder of husband or wife. We wondcodhow this dark, Moloch face, which frowns so gr:miy over our country could have escape! the sight of all, even amid the anxiety and turmoil of political contention. Unforl.uuntelj, wo did not notice these faeti In time to n.d;o such a collection of data as wc would dore, and our situation is men as to debar it? imnediate access to files of these papers which wc-jould justly assume teb: true exponents of the -.m- ditieo of the country at large; hutifa Uhra-I dependence leave no room to doubt where the bloodthirstiness is to be found. Eleven rulers and nearly twenty revolutions, in so brief a period, are pointed facts. It is now nearly seventy years since thc French final, iy forsook the island During the whole time, thc people have been fighting. From a state of comparative enlightenment, they have sunk and sunk, until they arc now lit tle better than the brntes. The flames and tho blood of their rage have desolated and cursed their jountry. There is no recollec tion of virtu; in thc past to entitle them to seif-respect, and no glimmering of hope iu the future to xaise th* slightest incitement for exertion In this state of affairs, we have a terrible delineation of what thc career of the negro terc would be. were they left to themselves. Happily, the preponderance of whites vcinn'os all danger of such casastro- phes to then as a people; but even that re straint provis ineffectual to repress the fast muItijJying personal rencounters. Unless the pi<per measures be adopted by the gov- erninett, tho crimson stream will never fail until itt fountain head is dry. To all these things, he Federal (fovernment has been persist.ally blind. Intent on protecting the □egreagainst foreign aggression, it lias failed to protact him from his worst enemy—him self. 1 has permitted its servants to con vert tl* whole spirit of its machinery, f rom a rcstr.iuing and punishing power, into a partial :nd venal avenger. It has permitted them todeoart from that certain and inflexi ble admiiistration which gives far more ma jesty aid terror to the laws, tha t any degree of fitful se\, by can do. It has permitted the idea that ('iu penalties attached to their j ner in whi crimes may be avoided, to fix itself in the I friend from jractice, that even the most unobservant neo have remarked thc paucity of negro in- faits; and the knowledge of it has already rccited Europe. In addition to this, those cbldreo which are spared, are neglected, iu a ;rcal measure, and thc rate of mortality aurngst them is much higher than before thr war. With a far less number of births, thci, and a far less proportion of iufantfi rais ed, the negro population is stricken at its veryroot; and this terrible evil, in connec- tiouwith others already adverted to, points withqrim significance to the ultimate extinc tion if tiie race. To his awful goal, which not even (lie bitterer Southron can contemplate without companion and regret, they are driven, not only hj the antagonism to the laws of the land aid a nature which they have assumed ; but alsi. by the inevitable and utter poverty on wliidi we have enlarged. It may be ob jected t~ this proposition, that poverty is no <au«e ofdecay, since other races of negroes, * well is other barbarians, are squalidly pior, and still flourish. This is true, yet it dies not subvert our argument. Poverty, ii itself, ii not a sufficient cause ; but, in conjunction with two other circumstances, it isan arap'e one In thc first place barbari- 01s people* never assemble in large numbers. 81 true is this, that the millions which, in th- popular estimation, people the uuknown repons of Africa, etc., could hardly be enu- racated in thov.satuls of inhabitauta The lociit swarns ofsavngesare myths; and two milions of square miles on African soil would probibly not contain a population as numer ous as the ntgroes of the South. Thc penu ry of people «•) sparsely settled does uot pro duce diseas* which that of a denser peo ple creates. "Wehave already touched upon tho propensity of the negroes here for crowd ing into the towns. Thus situated, in- suffieent lodging, Insufficient fare, together with habits of reckless license and filth, give mighiv odds to death, iu his struggle with life. Secondly, investigation will show that all these races on which the objector must rely fir support, arc maintained by the spon- tanemsofferingsof their lands. The rivers, the broad grassy plains, the vast, solitary forests prescat rich booty of fish and game, for the killirg. In the tropics the wealth of the earth hursts forth in immense quantities of delicious fruits. On these things, do such peopc subsist, and, without them, not more quioUy do the leaves wither, and fall from a saplem trunk, than would those people die. Ncno of these things has the South to of fer thc negro in quantities at all cammensu- rate with the necessities; hence, the very means by which others live in spite of pover ty; are here wanting. In this country, ‘'by 1 the sweat of his brow” must a man live; and the negio is decidedly prejudiced against sweating—in that way. Finally, we ask what else than extinction and to the disaffection and corruption result ing from this revolutiou, murt be attributed her final downfall. When the States Gener al met, at the commencement of thc French Revolution, there was a mighty struggle for supremacy between the Chambers and Peers and Commons. fTO BF. CONTINUED.) A Horrible Crime—Kctributive X notice. We are informed that a horrible crime was committed by a negro man, upon the person of a white lady, named Mrs. New man, in the neighborhood of Greenville, Kentucky, on last Friday.

Tlio Wrong Man I’oulticoU. At a famous and fashionable walering- place a gentleman one night was suddenly seized iu bed with an excruciating pain in the stomach, which neither brandy, No C., nor any other remedy could remove. His wife, after trying a number of things in vain, and having exhausted all her stock of remedies, left her husband’s led side for thc purpose of getting a warm application. Guided on her return by a light which .->ho supposed was tho one just, left, she softly en tered, and was not a little surprised to find her (wtieut apparently in a deep slumber.— However, thinking he might still be suffer ing, she gently raised the bed-elothes, Ac., and laid thc scalding poultice upon a stomach —but not thc stomach of her husband, which no sooner touched thc body of the per son than he greatly alarmed, and writhing under the torture of theburuing application, shouted: Hallo! hell! what iu tho name of heaven aod earth are you about there?— Then with one spring from his bed, he made for the door, and rushed down stairs, in a frenzy of excitement, that' some one had poured a shovel of hot Coals upon him; The woman, overcome with excitement, and n- larin, gave a frantic scream which brought her husband hurriedly in from the next room to her rescue. The husband was so much excited, and also so much amused with the singular mistake and the ridiculous po sition of his better half, that he forgot all his pains; but early next morning he, his wife and trunks loll for parts uuknown.
