dred Negroes Slain.
The brig Alabama at New Orleans, brings dates to
the 22d ult. which confirms the News relative to the
oweting Of export duties coffee moasses and sugar
The news that the Queen Spain was declared ofage
by the Cores was officially received in Havana on the
Dist inst and celebrated with due ceremony.
The New Orleans Tropic contains an extract from .
private letter received in that city, which gives an az
count of an nsurrection among the negroes, in which
500 ofthem were slain The following is the extract
though itmay may be proper to remark that was not
generally credited in New Orleans.
"Things here getting and worse every day. and It
strikes me dome very soon The negroes in the coun-
try gave great deal Of trouble They rose day or
two ago. upon theeas ofhe Aldamas and the Afonsos,
appears there was extensive conspiracy in which
the best slaves were engaged Nearly five hundred ne
groes in aims, were killed, and large number ofpris
oners were taken The Americans residing at Matan-
zas have asked for an American of war to be in
that port in they are compelled to flee from the
Island" Sts...
Another letter says
Aboutsix weeks since, the negroes on three or four
plantations in the vicinity Of Matanzas rose, but were
soon putdown, Last Sunday the news arrived here of
another insurrecton the sugar estate of Mr. Aldama
but something more seriousit seems the negroes had
orders from the workmen on said estate to rise burn g.
murder all they found in their neighborhood Some
say that the workmen had orders from Mr. A. to advise
them to dothis This can be believed said gentle
man, incompany with his relations the Messrs Alton
SOS, are known to be abotonists at any rate this will
cost them great deal of money. Government has
thought it prudent TO be silent on this subject yet you
hear of it wherever you go.

said, there was no information to be had; and remon-

Mr.. Allen rejoined He asked if we were children

MR.. POLK AND THE TARIFF.

We do not suppose there is the least doubt as
to Mr.. Folks opinions upon the tariff OF lo42 ;
he has declared them too frequently upon the
stump, in Tennessee, during the canvass of lS43'
in which he was SO badly beaten by Gov. Jones,
to leave any doubt on the subject. Nevertheless,
the Locofocos at the North, and in Pennsylvania
especially, are already beginning to claim that he
is in favor of incidental protection. This is a
Misrepresentation. He is opposed to protection
in every shape, and opposed to the tariff of AZ.
We have very good authority for this-that of
the Nashville Union-his and General Jackson's
organ, which, before Mr.. Polk was nominated,
used the following language:
"We wish it borne in mind, that the op-
pressive tariff of 1912 has been condemned by
every true Democrat, and by none more deci-
dedly than Mr.. Van Buren,. THAT IT'S PRO
VISIONS ARE VIEWED WITH ABHOR-
RENEE BY GOVERNOR POLK AND ALL
HIS FRIENDS WE NEED NOT REPEAT"
"That its provisions are viewed with abhor-
renee by Governor Polk and all his friends we
need not repeat" No. Mr. Union, you need not
for Governor Polk himself has said SO, on the
stump, before the people, and in print. We
wish it borne in mind, that the oppressive
tariff of 1912 has been condemned by every true
Democrat" And so do we and by every farmer
mechanic, and laborer in the land. We wish il
borne in mind, that because the Democrats
of the South condemn 'the oppressive tariff
of 1872" they procured the nomination of one
who, in the language of the Union, !" viewed its
provisions with adherence" and would, if elect
ed, use the influence of his Office to wipe it from
the statute book. Should Mr.. Polk be elected
if we may be allowed to suppose thing SO inn
probable-and the tariff policy be ever turned, as
it would be, to whom would the Democrats of the
North, whose prosperity depends upon the pre-.
servation and perpetuation of that policy, look to
restore it? Where would they look for aid?-
Would they have the effrontery TO call on the
Wings! If that policy is once overturned by
their joining it's enemies-we were about to ex-
press wish, but will not, nor will we make a
prediction. Let the future speak for ITSELF
Those who will not heed the voice of warning,
must not expect, in the day of their trouble, to
hear the soothing tones of commiseratou.

to step over the boundaries Of province belong.
ing to the same great empire of freemen. With
out annexation, Texas would make heavy draw
upon this country for its slave-labor-with annex
alton, she would depopulate the older saveholdng
States.
We have said that the limits of the slavehod-
ing States would be temporarily extended by
annexation, without increasing their federal
strength This will become apparent, by adj
vertng to the ratio of the increase of population
at the North and South. The computation is
easily made by comparing the population of any
two periods 1t appears from such comparison,
that the actual increase of the population of the
Southern States, is barely equal to the natural
increase; while the actual increase of the North
ern States far exceeds the natural increase. And
from these facts it is clear that the whole foreign
immigration finds its resting place among the free
States-if there are any exceptions to the rule,
they are counterbalanced by the emigration from
the Southern to the Northern States. 1t is not
for us to say where the balance of power lies, but
we can say, from conscientious conviction based
upon the foregoing facts and reasonings, that the
surest way to give all the strength to the free
States, and render the South mere province
will be the annexation of Texas.

LOCOFOCO MEETING IN NEW YORK.
This was very respectable affair so far as
numbers were concerned. We will do our oppo-
nents the justice of saying that seldom on any
occasion have they turned out in greater num-
bers, or manifested more determined spirit
The Park was literally full Of Locofocos, Of all
sorts and sizes-snall boys with small banners,
big boys with big ones, and all the usual para
phernalia of a Locofoco demonstration" There
is no doubt whatever that the Polk and Texas
ticket is the hardest kind of dose for our - de-

they have made up their minds to swallow it

not be at all safe for the Wings to be caught
mapping. There was an evident lack of real en-
thusiasm at the meeting on Tuesday night,
