but We did more than expected few days previous
We had good reason also to believe that the oolored
voters Of this State would array themselves the
banner Of free soil and would march with boldly
a conflict with the slave power. But here we were
destined to be disappointed They went over In body
to the enemy Of free soi-their own enemy They de-
serted the ranks Of that band who their own true
friends and asserted their rights and allied
to their foes, and with them voted for the who
holds hundreds OF human beings In slavery. This

Actu.l CircuIat ion on the Her.ld.
Venezuelan Affairs.

On the outside of this day's paper, we publish
quite lengthy manifesto of the Venezuelan
General, Paez.
1t rs an interesting document, on many accounts,
as il not only gives full and connected account of
the origin of the present difficulties in that repub-
lie, but it also gives some remarkable disclosures
regarding attempts made in former years to
consolidate the three Colombian republics of Vene-
zuela, Ecuador, and New Granada, into mo-
narchy.
We are aware that this story of monarchy, to
be established in South America by the European
powers, is an old affair; and, as the European
monarchs are at present situated, they have proba-
bly, trouble enough to keep their own crowns Sc
cure on their heads, without crossing the Atlantic
TO establish more monarchies, there is not much
probability of their ever doing much IN this way !;
still an expose of such intngues cannot but be in
teresung
The translation which we publish of this mani
festo of General Paez, was furnished us by John
B. Purroy, ESQ. the Venezuelan Consul at this
port, and can be relied on.

The presents a curious view of the legislative
history of Congress- in one aspect, at least These
laws may be considered as so many practical app
pcaions to the people of this country OF the prin-
clpes contained in the United States constitution.
That constitution may, therefore, be said to. be
illustrated by the laws passed by Congress, and
the laws also illustrated by the decisions of the
couI,s oil the United States passed on them. Yet,
how huie is known to even the public, on this side
OF the Atlantic, Of those particular features and
peculiar principles which have governed the Ame-
mean Congress and American jurispi udence, in
that lenqth OF time. Since then, the country has
grown frora three millions to nearly twenty
five, and has extended Its territory TO an
area jhfee times ss large as that OF the original
thil;teu states. Commerce, manufactures, poll
tics, religion. and the social elements OF society,
have al been more or less affected by those Laws,
or as hey may be called, practical apple ations OF
the American constitution, through the action OF
Congr So and the President.

ceeJines Of both houses oil Congress. commencing

The American Congress Its Position ana
Influence In the Civilized World

A few weeks ago very serious and important
article appeared in the columns of the London
Times in which ii was stated that the three prin.
cipa, legislative bodies in the civilized world at
this epoch IN the history of man, the British
Parliament the French National Assembly, and
the American Congress. The idea thus put forth
by the great organ of that portion of public opinion
In Europe, which may be called stationary or re-
active, strikes the mind with considerable force.
Although II has not the merit of novelty or origin
alIty, yet the combination presented, and the fact
OF including the American Congress one of the
great elements OF modern progress and civilization
acknowledgment from that quarter that has
been wruDg from them by recent events in Europe,
and by the position gradually assumed by this
country during the last few years. The British
PaIiiamen; is an old, and somewhat antiquated
popular assembly, rendered in some degree SYM
pathetic with the spirit of the age by reforms
and changes in its constitution. The French Ma
uenal Assembly is OF more recent date, and may
be considered the organ of the great moving popular
masses, not only OF France, but of all Europe.
The American Congress has reached its present
eres, moral influence and power over the public
mind OF both continents during the last half cen
fury, and by pursuing course of policy about
restrictive spirit of the British Parliament, and the
tumutuary and ever changing course OF the French
National Assembly.
In the present position Of the civilized world
we are firmly persuaded that the proceedings OF
The American Congress will hereafter attract more
of TIE attention of the old world than they have
at any period IN our history. 1t is not alone the
exefcise OF the legislative power OF this country,
numbering population verging on twenty-five
millions, that will distinguish the future history of
lie American Congress. In some respects our
national legislature at Washington will be con-
sideIed the model of similar bodies IN Europe.
and tie great teacher of political truths to the
great masses of the civilized world legislative
history OF such body, conceived in a comprehen-
sve spirit, and written in a condensed and philo.
sophioa form, would be of invaluable benefit to all
pou clans and statesmen of both continents. Since
the organization of our government it appears that
seven thousand different enactments or laws were
passed b. both houses of Congress- and that, IN
the same period, the whole number of vetoes put
by our Presidents, on measures passed by that
body, ale as follows

United States, with Or without Cuba, and Brazil
will be the great producing countries Of this ipor-
tant staple, on which other nations must be depen-
dent for their supplies.
This is no fancy sketch Of the future. But the
result apparent to every rejecting man of causes
now in operation. If any one had made similar
conjecturss in relation to the cotton culture fifty
years ago. he would have been regarded as wild
Spectator. Yet what changes in agricultural and
manufacturing pursuits, what revolution in COM
merce, and what new and powerful elements of
politics. have been brought into being by cotton in
that short space The cultivation and trade in
sugar may not play so important a part-but the
circumstances similar, and the results will not
be very different.
While we are writing the revolution at which we
have limited is going on-the forces are being
brought into action. We cast our eyes on the Mo-
bile Tribune and caught the following ominous par
agraph. Alabama is already in the field.
MAJ jeremiah Austil has left with us specimen of
sugar Just made on his plantation of beautiful lively
color and nney graduated and doubt whether any of
Lne MuscoVaaoes OF Louisiana can suFpass it.
