ILLUSTRATIONS OF AMERICAN SLAVERY.

We extract the following incidents
from an interesting work, entitled, ga
merican Scenes aud Christian Slavery"
by the Rev. Ebenezer Davies, lately a
missionary in Berbice, which we cordi,-
ally recommend to The attention of our
readers,
"Finding that a slave auction was to
be held al the 81. Louis Exchange, | re-
solved TO attend. The clock was slri-
king twelve; and before it had finished,
the vast dome reverberaled with the noise
of half-a-doZen man-sellers bawling at

highest bidders. |, was a terrible din
But, at our platform, business proceeded
rather leisurely. Two gentlemen u.s.
cended the desk; the one, about ffiy-fve
years of age; the other, a Frenchifed
looking young man, about twenty-five
years of age. The elderly man, whom

1t Is needless 10 go into an estimate Of the
aggregate values. The table shows, at once,
Thai Ohio possesses double the agricultural
wealth Of Kentucky. Her ihdian Corn and
Wheat alone are worth the whole of the pro-
ducts of Kentucky, as set down in the fore
going table. The aggregate value of all those
products, only exceed by one fourih, the val
ne of the simple item of Hay in Ohio.
When to all this we add that Kentucky is
al least equal 10 Ohio in all natural resources;
was settled at an earlier period, and had a
population Of 70 200 when Ohio was a will
derness; while now, after a race of forty
years, Ohio has twice the population, three
times the Manufacturing and Commercial
wealth, and more than double the Agricultu-
raj, then we are prepared to form some esti-
male Of the comparative value of the ~free-la-
Dor and slave-labor systems.
Kentucky contains about twenty-five mil
lions of acres of land, and, according 10 the
Auditors Report, the value of all the slaves
in the State is a little over $50, OO0, 900. II.
by emancipation, the average increase in the
price OF land should be two dollars an acre,
that increase would pay for all the slaves in
the State. We have no doubt that, if our
Commonwealth were rid Of slavery, the en-
HANGED value Of the soil would be more than
equal to the assessed value Of all the slaves.

American Citizenship.

We learn from the " New York Tribune ~
that a question has been raised in the United
States Department Of State, which is Of great
importance to a certain class of our popula-
ton, and which could not possibly have aris-
en- in any other government. The question
is, Who are American Citizensi"
1t appears that application was made for
passports by some colored citizens Of New
York, and their request was refused because
of their complexion the reply of the Pass
port Clerk being, that unde such circumstan-
ces passports were nercr granted.
We happen to know the Clerk is mistaken,
for passports have been given to at least one
colored citizen of Phllad elphia. |, is true.
there was some difficulty in this case, for in
return to his application he received some
kind Of d certificate affirming his citizenship,
not a regular passport, but something the
clerk regarded as good enough for a negro
This was Indignantly returned through a
and fellow-townsman of The applicant, and a
passport demanded, which was subsequently
made out ia the regular form.
But the government probably now feels
stronger in the faith Of Calhoun than it did
then, or rather, that there is less need of oc.
casionally making a trlaing concession to the
rights of the North. No one ought 10 be
sorry to have it exhibit all the deviIishness il
has in it, for The sooner its true character is
known, the sooner il will have TO give place
TO a better.
This act of refusing passports to colorcd
citizens, though it may be regarded by some
as a trifling affair, virtually d~eprives all col
ored persons in this county Of nationality
throws them off, and proclaims them the fre.
subjects for plumber and outTage-having M
country TO defend their rights, no government
to whose protection they can appeal. TIL,
United States refuses TO grant passports Il
the constituents of VIM. Ii. Seward, and The
State Of New York can not. Is this in &C
cordance with the spirit of the National Con
stitution? 1t may be, or it may not. The
question should be tested for although those
who consent, to the bond must yield the pound
of flesh, they should not give more than tn
stipulation calls for. We trust that WIN. II
Seward will see that the question of Who arr
American Citizens ? is brought before tn
proper tribunal for as the case now stands
he is himself insuited through his c%onstitu
ents. A hired clerk Of the Department o
State refuses to recognize those who vote'
for him, and by whose power he was mad,
Senator, as American Citizens. He SHOULD
either vindicate their right to that title, or re
sign the seat he now occupies.

" William Lloyd Garrison has informed
Henry Clay that he is dissatisfied with his
late letter on Emancipation.
Mr.. Clay's letter also displeases Mr.. Cal.

ers itself bound TO sneeze when The great
South Carollnian takes snuf.-Tri6une.
What else could be expected Garrison
represents the anti.slavery portion of commu-
nifty, and Calhoun the prO-slavery. Clay is
neither hot nor cold, and is therefore a nau-
seating dose, either to the advocates or oppo-
nents Of the system.

TIE C~BoLERA.-This disease has again
made its appearance in several places where
it prevailed to a limited extent last winter f;
and it isl be expected that with the approach
of warm weather its extent and fatality will
increase. 1t is reported that several deaths
by it have occurred among emigrants at New
York. 1t has become quite prevalent at New
Orleans, where the weather is now very sui.
try and on The boats leaving that port there
have been many cases of sickness and not a
few deaths. The travel from that city up
the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, may be the
means of innoculating the entire West, and
certainly will be, if the disease is as conta-
gious as represented. Temperance, %cleanli-
ness, fresh air, and a conscience void of Of
fence will do much 10 ward of lis attack.

ing out that his (ther) creed was Free-Soil hrst
and last and nothing but Free-Soil.
The two conventions, representatives OF the two
factions, met at Rome; they tempered, firted, and
courted. Both sides popped the question, and both
got the mitten Some concluded that this was the
funeral rather than the marriage of the parties.
The fact was they had not sufficiently obtained
the consent of the old folks. Martin and the AL
bany regency gave their full consent, and John
consented to be grooms-

To effect this union the sturdy Hunker would not
yield one syllable of his name one plank in his

shifting unstable Barnburners The smut mill

mitted TO get up behind and sit on the pllion ofthe

PIcTURE or THE CoALITIoS.-The following IL
am attack from the Franklin Gazette, paper which
supported General Cass with talent and zeal. II is
edited by Judge Flanders, the gentleman who took
the laboring oar in excluding John Van Buren, from
the four days and four nights Looofoco convention
Of ls47, in this city. II is plain and calm state
ment of matters Of fact in reference TO the late po
litcsl coalition, and clearly foreshadows the end
in the "new quarrcls'' IL will entail upon those who
are parties % il. The Gazette says:
In scanning the character of the late arrange
ment between the Syracuse and Utica conventions
for running half and half ticket for State officers
this fall, IL should be borne in mind that nothing
the mature Of union has been effected between the
Democratic party and those who, two years ago,
seeded from IL, and have since stood and still re-
main, in attitude Of hostility towards il. II IL
simply ooaiiiion-be most odious and corrupt Of all
political arrangements.
"With this distinctncss Of organization and an
tagonism Of views, the two conventions at Syracuse
and Utica entered into bargain, by which il was
agreed that for The purpose Of helping each Other INTO
office, they would divide the State ticket between
them, and turn in and give il common support.

In 1889, during the blockade of Buenos Ayres by
the French says the New York Sun, the French
Admiral caused two American vessels to be seized
at Cape Corrientes, one hundred miles outside OF
the blockade. The vessels were taken to Monte
yideo, and not delivered to their owners until a
long correspondence had taken place between the
French Admiral and Commodore Nicholson of the
United States war ship Independence Even then,
they were not permitted TO go for their cargoes.
Another American vessel was seized fifty miles out
at sea, taken into Montevideo and confiscated with
her cargo by the French authorities. The damage
in these three 100000 but the in
ured parties have waited ten years in vain for
dress. The French government, then, is the last
that should taunt the United States with refus-
ing indemnities.
