"A SOUTHERN VIEW SLAVERY. The
following sensible view OF slavery in the Angus
ia (Geo) Chronicle, contrasts very favorably
with the wild theories of the South Carolina
school,
The Caucasian race out numbers the African
in the United States al this tme as six to one
No more negroes are coming into the country
from abroad; whilst Europe is sending over a
million Of " hite laborers to reside permanently
aud multiply rapidly in the American Union,
every tour years. The ceaseess progress Of this
ever. augmenting disparity in the number OF the
two races, and of two distinct classes of laborers
must eventuate in changing the character com.
plexion, habits, customs and laws OF society. 1t
cannot remain stationary; and ii is the part of
sound conservative craftsmanship to foresee COM
ing events, and shape them to advance the
best interests of the community Although we
do not believe that the Convention TO form new
Constitution in Kentucky will take any action in
favor OF emancipation, immediate or remote, new
ertheess, the time will come when property in
slaves will cease to be desirable in that State
AS slaves can only be imported into Georgia by
exporting their illl value in productive capital,
would it not be a wiser policy for this State to
keep its money at home and invite intelligent
citizens to come here and settle, who will create
more wealth and taxable property than equal
number OF slaves, and cost us nothing One
hundred thousand white laborers would cost the
commonwealth not single dollar; whilst they
would be worth to it an average OF $3.50 each.-
We would not only make the most of all the ru.
raj industry which Georgia now possesses, by en-
ploying it to the best possible advantage; but we
anXiously hope TO see it, in truth and reality, an
''emplre State" in population, in wealth and in
the full enjoyment OF ten-told larger productive
power.
In studying our own narrow personal interest
we are too apt to overlook the higher, the broad
err and more enduring interests OF the State. To
build it up, we must keep all its movable prop
erty and citzeps within its bounds We must
make it the best State in the Union for Europeans
and the citizens OF other States to settle in with
their capital their labor and their enterprise.
Nothing is easier than to aggrandise Georgia,
ii we will only be true to Its advancement. All
prejudices against both free and slave labor,
should be offered up on the altar OF patriotism
Both have their advantages, both will promote
the happiness and prosperity OF the community
at large. Hostile antagonism is as unnecessary
as 1t is disorganzing and pernicious
MAcAULAY PLAGIARIsr. In an article
with this heading, the Troy Daily Wing con-
trives to give the ex Vice President gentle hint
that he drew water from Macaulay's we'll, when
he poured the stream of his farewell eloquence
upon the Senate. In Mr.. DaIlas's address &C.
Cured the following passage:
''.Nor, Senators, is any man fit to participate
IN the government Of great societies tcih ele-
mentS combined as ours are, 1ch0 heSitateS about
daSobhgung the tetc Uho surround him for the
sake Of the many ,Uhom he can never see In
these reflections lies the simple and safe rule of
truly patriotic action. | am tar from self flattery
&c, SC.
In the first volume of Macaulay's History,
says the Wing, is the following passage:
ono man is fit to govern great societies who
hesitates about disobliging the few who have ac
cess to him for the sake Of the many whom he
will neversee."
Then the Wing humorously adds
ANY one can see that there is plagiarism here.
How Macaulay managed to get hold OF this be.
fore Mr. Dallas delivered it, we cannot say
This is none OF our business 1t is enough for
US to expose the cheat and to hold the literary
pllterer up to the contempt which he merits
Notwithstanding the close similarity in the two
extracts which we have printed, no man can TAIL
to see that Mr. Dallas has made the most OF the
idea, having dressed It up in more words than
Mr.. Macaulay could employ OF course, he is
entitled to all the greater credit on that account.
~ Gen. Taylor allowed two famous expires

the election, as having been uttered by him in
Mexico, without any contradiction. One of them
has been effectually exposed by Major Bragg
and now the ". o. Delta, acknowledges the
authorship OF the other thus: After the battle OF
Buena Vista, 1t. Crittenden arrived in this city,
as bearer OF dispatches from army, and brought
the first intelligence OF that great battle. The

livered by his gallant aid-"Gen Taylor never

short time we discovered that we had inadver.

old General, and furnished his friends with one of
their most potent rallying cries.
