put let him also reeolleet, that unsulliel
 worth IS so rare gem in the rubbish of po- {litlcal elements, that it's appearance challen- ges our admiration, and may nalliate and excsise earnestness of comnaendatiar. Hst to say that Hugil l.. White is not n great and good man, in the face of all this evidence any man. after having made all the dedue. tions that will claim, would argne cencen. tien of human excellence and greatness mt to be attained by human means.
 Such is the man who has been presented to the people of the United States for the first dfiee within their gift. Ifhe has ability, if he has honesty if he has experience, let him receive that support which they deserve. Able, and 1t may be, honest and experienced competitors there are upon the field-bnt are they more so than Hugh l.. Whtel We would detract nothing from the well-earned lame of others. It is doctrine of the White school, that fairness and high-minded hon esty makes no enemies who need be feared that defamation and detracton make no friends worth the gaining. The peculiar as- pect of our country, at this time, seems to need the peculiar qualifications of such u man as White, He is not fitted for the tear ing down and building up at random. Rev olutlon IS not the element in which he moves. His doctrines and his policy, as we'll as his dlspesltlon, are eminently pacific. And such IS decidedly the present policy of our public affairs. Most ofthe angry and bois- terous questions, which have rent and torn our national harmony, ard now settled. France IS too wise to provoke her cid ally te a contest-and there will be no war. The tariff is laid at rest. Notification has sunk to rise no more-and the brave but deluded men, who called 1t life, have witnessed it's death without tear, and, with d magma nimity worthy of thier sires, are holding festival ofpeace over its grave with those who consigned tthere. And now when our coun- try IS recovering from her throes, and gath- erlng up her scattered energies, the voice of her millions of freemen is calling for sound head, a pure Heart, and a firm hand, to guide her onward in her mighty destiny. Who shall be the man!

You expresscda wish (paSe -, vol 3D."
to obtain information in relation to the
history ofthe emaucipacd slaves in Prince
Edward | presume those emancIPatcd
by the late Richard Randolph more cspe-
cially.
More than twenty-five years ago, think
they were liberated, at which tlmc they
numbered about one hundred, and were
settled upon small parcels orland Of ilom
10 to 25 acres to each family. As long
as the habits of industry, which they had
acquired while slaves, lasted, they continu'
ed to increase in numbers, and lived IN
some degree OF comfort; but as soon as
this was lost, and most Of those who had
been many years in slavery either died or
became old and inlirm, and new race,
raised in. idleness and vice. sprang up,
they began not only to be lille and vicious,
but to diminish instead of increasing, and

very regularly every year-and that too'
although they all without exception re-
maiued together in the same situation as
at first placed, to this day.
Idlcness, poverty and, dissipation are the
agents which continue to diminish their
numbers, and to r"cdcr them wrctched
in the extreme, as we'll as great pest and
heavy tax upon the neiehborhood in which
they live. There is so little industry and
so much dissipation amongst them, that it
is impossible the females can rear their
families Of chidren-and the consequence
is, that they prostitute themselves, and
consequently have few children; and the
operations of time, proAigacy, and disease
more than keep pace with any increase
among them. Whilst they are very
great pest and heavy tax upon the COM
munity. it is most obvious they themselves
are infinitely worsted by the exchange
from slavery to liberty; if, indeed, their
condition deserves that name.

IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT.

EAMBoar NovELrY.--This splendid
steamer, whose boilers and furnaces are
constructed on the novel principles of DR..
Mott, left this city on Thursday last, with
a view of fully testing the use of Anthra-
cite coalin generating steam in sufficient
quantity to compete with boats burning
wood. Her trip to Albany, and the re-
turn one to this city, OH Saturday, which
latter was performed in less than ten
hours, fully satisfied all on board that
steam may be generated from coal III any
quantity required. The Novelty has eight
tubular boilers, each Of which has an innu-
merablc number ofsmall pipes connecting
with her steam chambers. She has four
furnaces which burn anthracite coal, (the
Lackawana;) in connexion with them
there are two blowing cylinders, which,
by the means Of pipes, receive the heated
air from around the chimneys, which is
passed through the waste steam condcn-
sers and becomes still more heated, and is
then applied 10 the fires in the bottom Of
each furnace, by which means the fame
from the coal is applied Immediately to
Tho surface Of the various tubes filled with
water, from which the steam is generated
Independent Of the safety from explosion
from the above combination, j! is esiima-
ted that the cost Of anthracite coal will b.
oaIy about half the price Of wood, and
a, least an equal velocity obtained with
the best boats on the Hudson which burn
