torted by fear. Just as certain as that the
locomotive can outrun the horse, and the
| lightning can outspeed the locomotive, just
so certain is it that he who is animated by

The slave States gain millions of dollars
every year from the privations, the mean
slaves are subjected; and yet they grow
rich less rapidly than States where millions
of dollars are annually expended for the
comforts and conveniences Of the laborer.
More is lost in production than is gained
by privation.
A universal concomitant Of slavery is,
that it makes white labor disreputaple.-
Being dsreputable, it is Stunned. The
pecuniary loss resulting from this is meal

of the Mississippi. and where would be the
mighty volume of waters which now bear
navies on their bosom, and lift the ocean

which consist in the personal industry of
every man, and of each member of every
mans family, and that widespread thrift
and competence and elegance, which are
both the reward and the stimulus of labor,
will be abolished with them. Forego the
means, and you forfeit the end. You must
use the instrument, if You would have the
product. Nothing but the feeling of inde-
pendence, the conscious security of work
ing for ones self and ones family, will, in
the present state of the world, make labor
profitable.

EXTRACT FROM TIE SPEECH OF
HORACE MANN.

I'm all ages OF the world, among all ma
tons, wherever the earnings of the laborer
have been stolen away from him, his encr-
gies have gone with his earnings. Under
the vileinage system of England, the vii
leins were low, idle, spirlless race; dead
TO responsibility; grovelling in their desires;
resistant of labor; without enterprise; with
out foresight. This principle is now ex-
emplified in the landlord and tenant system
of Ireland. If tenant is to be no better
OFF for the Improvements he makes on an
estate, he will not make the improvements.
Look at the seigniories of New Iork-the
anti.Ient districts as they are now called
every man acquainted with the subject
knows that both people and husbandry are
half century behind the condition OF con
tiguous (ee>simple proprietorships. All MIS-
tory illustrates the principle, that when pro-
perry is insecure, it will not be earned. II
a despet can seize and confiscaic the prop
erlv OF his subject at pleasure, the subject
will not acquire property, and thereby give
To himself the conspicuousness that invites
the plunder And if this be so when prop
ertv is merely insecure, what must be the
effect when a man has no property what
ever in his earnings! Who does not know
that slave. who can nationally hope to
purchase his freedom, will do all the work
he ever did before. and earn his freedom
money besides! Slavery therefore, though
claiming TO be kind of property, is the
bane of property; and the more slaves
there are found mthe inventory of a nation
wealth, the less in value will the aggregate
of that inventory be.
This is one Of the reasons why slave la
hnr IS so much less efficient taan free labor
The former can never compete with the lat

Mourn OF THE RIO GRANDE,
Aurust IL, lS4S.
Speaking of Texas and the
Texans reminds me of tidlngs that reached
here few days ago, beyond doubt substan-
tally true. Some seventy or eighty OF the
Texan Rangers, officers as well as men,
discharged from our service few weeks
since, at amargo, have banded together for
the purpose of rObbing the delenceless Mex
leans this side of the mountains. Last
week they made descent upon the town
of Sabnas, situated near the foot OF the
Ceravo mountains, between them and the
Rio Grande; and after murders and other
outrages, they demanded contribution Of
large sum of money, threatening the alter
native, the total destruction of the town and
its inhabitants. The imbeclle inhabitants
actually raised and paid over the sum OF
$4,000, with which the villains decamped.
The next day they obtained of the town
Of Vile Aldamas. by a like levy, 81 900.
This town is in the vicinity of Sablnas.

well mounted, and we'll Harmed with the for

Quadruple their numbers of the Rancheros
on fair field, and in any event can make
good their retreat TO the Texan borders IN
the face of twenty times their numbers, by
reason of the superiority Of thclrhorses over
the Mexican mustang. The facts here stat
ed are derived from an intelligent American
gentleman Just arrived from Monterey. All
the upper towns are represented as in a
state of alarm and preparation for defence.
Unless stringent measures are taken by
our authorities to suppress tins species OF
