LAND LIMITATION AND SLAVERY.

-~-A~'A' A-A-AA n 1 Ao-N AMI HlsA ' I'm /.
OF all the plans that have hitherto been talked of
or named, for the overthrow and determination of
slavery, land limitation if it once becomes the Is
tablished policy OF our government, is the spcedest
and most certain. To those who are well informed
on this subject the bare assertion of the above pro
position is all that the requires in order to its
gaining their ready assent Others may, perhaps
need to have their attention directed to a few of the
more important facts, which the case involves and
unanmity of sentiment is inevitable, and that too.
without discussion. So certain are we OF this that
without the gift of inspiration VIC can see that the
fercest and most determined opposition to land H.
imitation will be from the plantation and slave hol-
ding interests in southern and south western por
lion Of the Union. Let US see.
The plantation and slave labor system requires a
large tract OF land in order to its successful opera
ton. Over and above what is requisite for the sup
port Of the slaves employed in its cultivation, it
must yield enough to meet the lavish expense or
supporting in aristocratic style the plantation own
er, together with his family and dependents To
accomplish this, on the slave labor principle would
require at least ten, twelve, or fifteen laborers
While this is obviously the fact it is not less ey-
dent that about three four or five laborers are all
that can be employed advantageously on the farm
of one hundred and sixty acres. In the cultivation
OF silk, onions, broom corn, or straw berries the
farm of one hundred and sixty acres might proGsa-
bly, employ twenty hands, and yield an increase
above what ruiubt ba nominal for Il o;r .,,,,r.
But for the cotton, sugar and tobacco the plantation
must be Of the extent of several hundred acres or
its profits will not meet the expense of procuring
and maintaining Iaborcrs and yield an income adc-
quate TO support planter, and his family. ALL and
every part of the facts making up the slave labor
system, eucidate and confirm the above statements;
and have done the same ever since the slave labor
system came into existence. Tie plantation sys-
tenn then, must in every case, be retained on the
identical localities which it now occupies, or be
abandoned. But il cannot maintain itself long, on
any locality In the raising OF cotton sugar and
tobacco, the grand staples of slave labor universal
experience has shown, than ten or twelve crops at
most, (most commonly six or eight exhaust the
soil so completely, that it does not any longer meet
the expense of cultivation After yielding few
crops it is called burnt over is regarded as waste
and worthless land, aud is abandoned for another
tract TO be subjected to the same process Here is
the explanation Of the eagerncss of slave holding
communities for new territory OF unoccupied soil,
even while their quantity of land compared with
the amount and growth olpopulation, appears need

ADMISSION OF WISCONSIN.

I Ab-h At'''lJ-N VI ~ l'cN C-Nti-'
/ A Washington correspondent of the New York
Evening Post, under date of the 2lst ult, remarks
follows in regard to the probable action of Con
gress on the subject of the admission Of Wisconsin
into the Union:
Wisconsin, you know, has just adopted
constitution, and she will be here in a
few days, through her agents, seeking adj
mission into the Union as a state; but she
will be strcnuously opposed by the wings,
both from the north and the south. EXcep-
ton will be taken to her boundaries, as in
Guiding too much territory. and a resort will
be had to every other device known to par
liamcntary practice, for the purpose Of cX-
Guiding her from the Union until after the
presidential election shall have been held.
She is known to be thoroughly democratic,
and it is probable she will be entitled to
give five votes in the electoral college for
president. Besides, her admission with
three representatives, would reverse the
present majority in the House; and should
the election ultimately dcvolvc upon the
House, the presence of an additional demo-
cratic state would c1ectually crush all wing
aspirations to the presidential chair. !
trust however, that the democrats from all
quarters of the Union will stand firm; and
unless there is something palpably excep-
tonabIe in the boundaries claimed by Wis
consin, that she will be admitted without
DELAY.
"Whle on this subject it is well to re-
mind your readers Of the celebrated ordi
nance of ST, in relation to our northwest
crn territory, if not the acts Of cession by
the states from which this territory was
acquired, provides that there shall be three,
and not more than FIVE states, formed out OF
the ceded territory. There have been four
states already formed out of the cession;
and all there is left is now included within
the boundaries claimed by the Constitution
of Wisconsin, which will be the fifth state
If this ordinance is, therefore, to have any
binding effect, il may be said that the limits
of the new state have already been fixed by
Congress, and that it was not competent for
the embryo state authorities TO alter them.
regret very much that our Wisconsin
friends are not nov on the spot to press
their case, as the principal obstacle to their
admission will be found in the House Of
Representatives, where the democrats now
occasionally may expect to find themselves
in a majority"

a serious fight in the Third Ward, on Satur-
day night, growing out Of some disturbance
at the - democratic" caucus. In the course
of the aiIray, a German Porter House on
Huron street was attacked. the windows
and doors smashed, and other damage done.
The inmates of the house, on their side,
fired two guns, by which one or two of the
assailants were badly hurt. Other injuries
were given and received by the opposing
parties. and good deal of excitement got
up between our Irish and German fellow
citizens But we trust that the matter will
end here, and not lead to disturbances,
which would bring discredit upon our fair
