THE NEGRO WITNESSES.

Mr. Paulding, in his letter Of apology to the
enquirer boiled down." says
"rho evidence Of the negroes may be entire,
lwithoat efiecting the sentence the
court"
Why, then, was it introduced?-why add
the grauitous and unprovoked insult?-why
seek TO disgrace the accused by reducing him
to level with negroes? If justice could be
.compassed without, why this studied indigai-
Ity to the feelings of gentleman, and this out
rage to the feelings OF majority Of the people
Iof the Union? Why this practical aid, by the
first officers Of the Government, to the efforts
Iof the Abolitionists!
lis impossible to conceive OF an answer cred
table to the perpetrators Of this extraordinary
proceeding. The only rational solution that
occurs tous, is, that it was designed to curry
favor with the fanatics. Certainly no measure
was ever adopted by any man in authority, so
we'll calculated to enlist the support ofthc Advo-
Gates Of equality between tho blacks and he
whites. At one blow, this movement reduces
the Army and Navy to the level of the Afri-
can race. This is the avowed and leading
object Of the Abolitonists. They repudiate all
distinctions, social or political, founded on col
or. Mr.. Van Blren has fully sanctioned their
pretensions.
There is one circumstance in the case Of Lieu,
tenant Hooe which aggravates the general OBJ
jections to thesprincipe established. The ne,
groes who were introduced as witnesses, were
the servants of Captain Uriah p. Levy, the
Prosecutor. Surely there was something in
this fact, which would have warranted the
President in interfering, or at least expressing
idisapprobaton. But he could not see this
early affection for Cufy, blinded his moral per
lceptions! --Richmond Wing.

great power, and his greater influence, to inure the
country which he had once served, and which now de
lighted to honor him, il hard to conceive what course
could have been success full than the one he pur

GEN. HARRISON'S LETTER TO Der.

lions you propose to me, and which are in the

9d.'Donot good faith and the peace and har.

mnant party, that 'the spoils belong to the vic.
tors consistent with an honest and patriotic
administration Of the Office Of president oil the
United States?"
proceed TO answer these questions in the
order they are proposed
LIST. do not think that Congress can abolish,
Tor in any manner interfere with slavery, as it
exists in the States, but upon the application of
the Statesmen abolish slavery in the District
Iof Columbia, without the consent Of the States
of Virginia and Maryland, and the people OF
the District. The first would be, in my opln-
ion, palpuble violation Of the Constitution;
and the latter, breach of faith towards the
States have mentioned, who would certainly
not have made the cession, if they had suppo-
sed that it would ever be used for purpose so
different from that which was its object, and so
injurious to them, as the location Of free col
ored population, in the midst Of their slave pop
ulaton Of the same description. Nor do be-
lieve that Congress could deprive the people OF
the District of Columbia, Of their property
without their consent. 1t would be reviving
the doctrine of the tories of Great Britain, in
relation to the powers of parliament, over the
Colonies before the revolutionary war, and in
direct hostility to the principle advanced by
LordChatham; that "what was mans own,
was absolutely and exclusively his own, and
should not be taken from him, without his con-
sent, given by himself or his legal representa-
Itives."
Cd. Good faith and the peace and harmony
of the Union do, in my opinion, require that
the compromise Of the Tariff known as Mr.
Clay's bill, should be carried on accordingto its
spirit and intention.
Sd, am decidedly of opinion that the pow
er ofappointment TO office vested in the execu,
tive of the U. States by the Constitution, should
be used with a single eye to the public advan-
tage, and not to promote the interests Of par
ty Indeed that The president Of the United
States should belong to no party.
You are at liberty to use this letter for any
purpose youmay think proper.
am, dear sir, with great regard and consi-
Iteration, your humble servant.

THE WING PROSPECTS

Since the announcement of WILLIAM HENRY HAIR
nsoN for the Presidency of the United States, as the
Wing candidate, the breeze of popular favor has daily
been swelling the sails Of the Wing party. The Hero
Of Ippecanoe marches onward and onward in his rapid
course of popularity. Every where we hear the cheer
ing shout Of "Harrson and Reform" The people arc
awakeningto the true issue before them. When they
to cast their votes between Harrison and Van Buren,
between the patriot warrior and statesman, and the
tme-servng and follower in the footsteps Politician
they raise the standard of HARRISON and their shouts
they bear it aloh are loud and clearan evidence
that their choice is approved ofby both and
science. In every State in the Union the banner of
Harrison is floating to the breeze. The people rally
around it with enthusiasm. In the West the public
voice for Harrison is unanimous. In the North and
East his prospects are cheering. From the accounts
Of some Of the public papers, all the Eastern and Nor
thern States, with the exception of New Hampshire
and Maine, will give amajority for the Wing Candidate
In the South, the cause OF Harrison and reform is daily
gaining ground In every Southern State with the
exception OF South Carolina, the wings confident
Of victory. Old Virginia the mother Estates; and the
first promugator of the doctrines of pure republican
democracy, has set the example. By the vote at the
recent elections there it splaccd beyond doubt but
that the wing electoral ticket will succeed by large
majority. In this State the Locos are dumbfounded
In every county almost we hear of large gatherings of
the people, who shout the ballot cry of "arrison and
REFORM Every where the notes swell upon the
breeze. Let the wings rally-let them arm for the
combat-let them battle for the rights of their coun
try to arrest its downward proclvity to anarchy to
renstate the purity of the government and proud and
glorious triumph will be theirs

England can succeed even in supplying even
these machines to the cotton growing coun'
tries, independent of The India market for the
same, the bare object of manufacturing this
machinery is Of great consequence TO her
But taken in connection with the extension oil
the cultivation Of cottopin India, the scheme
becomes gigantic entefprize, and is one oil
such vast Importance that the nation will spare
no expense or pains to accomplish it. If $780,
900 year will not do, she will cx pend grea-
ter sum in order to succeed. The object is to
make India supply cotton sufficient for the
English market, and to make England indie
pendent of this country for the immense sup
plies Of cotton now derived from the United
States, which amounts to near about $6O,0O0,N
900 annually. The low price Of labor in In
dia, being cents per pay Tor laborers (they
finding lhemselves) combined with the vast ex-
tent Of climate and soil favorable to the cult
walton Of cotton, they think, with due encour-
agement, will enable then to compete most sue
Icessfully with the Southern States of North
America, where nobody estimates negro labor
at lessthan 25 cents per day.
Capt Bayles and his party sailed out on the
last trip of the Great Western TO England
The gentleman engaged TO superintend the
manufacturing the machinery in England is
TO go out soon-probably in the British Queen
Such is the outline the gigantic scheme OF
the East India Company, The re is no doubt
that the British government have also fostered
these plans with a view of weakening the pow,
er of America, and rendering England as much
possible independent Of the United States And
there is no doubt that the commercial interests
of this country will be greatly affected by
these schemes; and the only way for US to act,
is TO encourage our domestic manufactures, aud
the hone consumption of our cotton. In this
way aone can we be Independent of Great
Britain The subject is full Of interest.
