usl Here is a competition preparing 10 ols-
pute the market Of the world with. moi only
the free laborer of the North, but with the
paupers Of Europe. A competition against
which no tariff can protect MS at home.
Duties imposed on foreign imports can raise
their price in oar market, so as 10 enable our
capitalists to give fair wages to HE American
workmen; but how shall we guard ourselves
against the underwriting of the home sys-
TEN that pays no wages; where not only Inc
labor but the laborrr is purchased in the mar
ket by the employer and owner
Our workmen need to know their positions,
their relations to Slavery, that they may ad-
dress themselves to their duty while the rum
can he aveGtcd, They ought TO know that
the work they live by is about being done
without their help, for less, far less than SIX
teen cents per diem. The power is yet in
their hands, the danger is theirs, and upon
them the responsibility must be thrown
May they see their duties through their in
terests it prejudice does still blind them to
the higher motives Of patriotism and human
ity. Ii the Democracy plays the tyranl and
the tyrant's ally now, if it aids in the enslave-
menl of others, soon it must receive into it's
own bosom the bitterness which it wantonly
or thoughtlessly indicts upon others. The

Dor. The Independent voters Of the North
who maintain the oppfessor in power, some
times tell us that the slaves are best of as
they are, but will they be pleased to consider
whether they are prepared 10 meet in the mar
ket the rivalry of labor without wages? To
say nothing OF its crime and cruelty, it is a
sad mistake to hate either, the pauper or the
slave who is compelled to work under you.
1t is not he but his untewatded toll that is
destroying you-not he, but his oppressor
that is your enemy. Whether it be in pride
of caste, or devotion to party, or in Ignorance
or Indifference to the Tight-no matter-by
lending your aid 10 the oppressor Of the poor,
you are degrading not them only, but labor
itself, which has no color. Nothing can save
you but yourselves. Ii you refuse, Provi-
dence will laugh at yonr calamity and mock
when your fear cometh," and who shall say
that justice has missed her mark when the
oppressor perishes!

From the ChrOnofype.
The Captain General of Cuba.

They have a quick way Of making money
in The city where our great Ambassador, N.
p. Ttisi, laid the foundation Of his fortune as
American Consul. Not only do they coin
Africans into money by The direct slave trade,
but they make money out of The costly effort
Of the British to abolish that trade. O'Don-
nell, the Captain General, has long been IA
mons fer his tricks Of this sort. The last Re-
port of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery
Society gives the following account Of some
If his proceedings:
"The number of slaves emancipated by
the Mixed Commission Court established at
Havana, amounts to upwards Of IL ,OO0.-
These have been hired out by successive cap
tain generals, for periods OF Ave years, TO va
rlops parties on the island, by which enor-
nous sums have been realized. In conse-
quencr Of arrangements made several years
since between Ibis country and Spain, il was
agreed that on the expiration Of the then ex-
isling contfacls, they were TO be put in COM
plete possession Of their freedom. So long
az General Valdez was in office, this arrange
ment was carried into effect. How far his
successor acls up 10 II may be seen from the
following fact. MIR. Consul Crawford, in a
letter To Earl Aberdeen, dated Havana, June
10, 1876, says:-'The re-seling Of the eman-
cipados which has been going on for some
time past, under the direction and sanction of
the captain general, is the public topic Of
conversation here. The Gas Company has
oecn provided with l~amplighters, to the num-
her of Fifty or more, for five years, and the
price is stated al five ounces (doubloons)
each. Her Majesty the Queen-M other is the
principal shareholder of this company, repre-
scented here by Colonel Don Antonio Parejo,
who is one Of the directors. 1t is said that
upwards of 1000 Of those unfortunate wretch
rs have been resold at rates from five to nine
ounces. by which upwards of COO, 900 dollars
has been made in the Government House,
one-six,h Of which was divided amongst the
undsflings, from the Colonial Secretary down.
ward besides which, provision has been
made for Mrs. O'DonneIl (now Countess Of
Luceaga), by transferring 400 emsneipados
20 the Marquis de las Delicias, chief-judge of
the Mixed Court, and one, If not the greatest
slave holder in this island, for her account,
so that she may derive an income, under the
Marquis's management, of 1000 dollars per
month. | have not says the Consul, 'the
smallest, doubt as 10 the truth Of the whole
Of these statements; the FIRST, as TO the lamp
lighters, | know 10 be true.' Better, far bet
ter would it have been for these emancipados
never TO have been liberated by the Mixed
Commission Court; for il is admitted, on all
hands, that, of all the servile population in
Cuba, they are tire most cruelty treated"

MORE VICTIMS.

BY the burning Of the large Cotton Facto-
~ ON the corner of Jane and Washington
streets on Friday night, seventy young fe-
males have been thrown upon the cruel mer-
cies Of an o~ver-supplied labor market. Tit
daily toll of these poor girls was barely sufi-
cient 10 give them the actual necessaries of
life, ard now, when this only avenue to dali
ly bread is shut against them, what must be
their fate! They must enter the arena OF
deadly competition against their sisters who
make shirts for four cents, or the cap makers
at twenty-five cents per dozen, or the vest
! makers at fifteen cents per vest, or the book
folder at two dollars per week. They must
even offer to enskare themselves for less than
sHeh pittancrs, and should they be fortunate
enough to d~isplace their sisters, they in turn
must heal the market, offering their life's
blood for Jqre bread, or their virtue and cha
racter forever for The home Of a hariot. Such
home they may have for the sacrifice, but
ieave TO toll for bread they may or may not
have hut at the will or wants OF employers.
Such, reader, is the condition Of our female
operatives.-Youn America.

The Petition Of Nelson. MiIIey, and
oilers TO Zachary Taylor.

Were it not that free speech is not Trrmit-
ted in Louisiana. the following petition, or
one like it, would have been handed ia long
ago. We copy from the Boston Republican.
SIN We are obliged 10 call Won master,
because vou bought our bodies with your mo-
ney but we never supposed that when yoH
paid for Us, and had the deed, transferring us
as property TO you, recorded in the face OF
day, any person would ever be found on earth
So lmpudent as to pretend that you are opFos-
ed to the extension of slavery.
Yet we have heard that you are now a can
didate for the Presidency Of the United States,
and that there are people al a long distance
of from where we live and work, who say
that you are a friend Of freedom, and who
urge yonr claims 20 the confidence Of the To-
vets Of freedom on that account!
II this he true. we respectfully desire 10
know why you ever bought us at all Nay,
more, why you now, day after day. keep us
in bondage against our will II you love
freedom, why, instead Of PutIiug us TO work
against our desire and without wages, after
YOU had bought us. did You not follow the
example Of one John G.. Pdlfrey, of whom
we have heard, who loved freedom, by max
I'M. some Of our fellow laborers OF this State
of Louisiana, who came to him as property,
90 from him as free men!
Yet they do say hereabouts that the very
same sort Of people in old Massachusetts,
who praise you as a lover Of freedom for
what you do. denounce HlM as no lover of
freedom for what he has done! Can this be ?
IS it possible that they are willing TO trnst
you with power, and are not willing to trnst
HIM.?
Again, we humbly request. that. If you
will not grant US our natural right to freedom,
atleast you will show yourself so far opposed
to the extension of slavery as not TO make
slaves of the children whom we may bear
hereafter. They tell us You will not veto a bill
in Congress TO prevent the extension OF sla-
very! Why will you persist, at home, IN
putting a veto on the bill Of God Almighty,
who created all free and equal, before any
Legislation took place among men, whatever !
Master Taylor, we tear very much that
you are playing the part of a hypocrfte, and
that your friends in the North are acting like
traitors to Freedom. IL the people whom yor
are conspiring to deceive could only see II:
here as we are, they would not be so foolish
as to imagine that the freedom of their terri
tory can be secure with a man who tolerate
no sort Of freedom on his own farm.
We shall do what you ommand so lon
as we canno. help ourselves, but not a mInut
longer. Surely, you cannot suppose we d
not feel the full extent of your Inconsistent,
every time your overseer fourishes his cat
o-nine-tails over our backs. In short, and Il
sum up the matter, either make MS free, o
else tell your white slaves in the North no
to lie.

STARVED MIDST PLENTY.

There never was a trner saying than that
Of Byron, that truth is stranger Than fiction.
What fictitious tale could be IneTe Incredible
than the fact that a poor widow woman in
the midst of all the abundance, all the be-
nevoIence of New York, should die Of star
va,ion! The woman we speak Of belonged
to Long Island, but was brought TO the City
Hospital a week ago, in a very enfeehled
condition. Just before she died, she told the
surgeon that her husband had been dead IL
years; that she had subsequently lost friend
after friend till all were gone, and she be-
came entirely destitute ; and that for nearly
two weeks before she was brought to the
hospital, she had not tasted food. The coro-
ner's inquest confirmed her statement. Poor
creature, in the midst of 1000 0 people, she
had no friend no acquaintance! In the midst
of luxury, wealth, waste, she tasted no food.
She was but 90 years old.

In referring to this, Alexander Campbell
The old champion of slavery, says: "lt seems

TIE NoRTH AMERICAN persists and con-
tinues to Justify the Friends Of this city for
voting for Taylor. It will succeed in estab-
fishing the fact that they did SO whatever its
success in s%quaring The deed with their Prin-
ciples. We object to the discussion. The
secrecy Of The ballot is the hest defence of a
Quaker who votes for a soldier; and those
who have done so wonld rather not have a
noise made about it. There is a proverb
about saving people from their friends; il
there was another about saving Friends from
