what we Desire.

Says the Apalachicola (Florida) Advertiser
ave desire to encourage the honest, indus
trous whites from the interior Of the State 10
come and settle in our city, and perform the
labor now done by foreign negroes, many OF
whom are curse to the community. IL Is an
evidence of want of that feeling Of sympathy
which We should possess for oar own color, that
while many honest, indust rious white men and
women in our city are unable to buy decent
raiment, and can scarcely make two ends meet
In the matter of bread and meat, there are, In
the city, negro men and women revealing in
plenty, who faunt by us on Sunday in their
gay attire, turning up their noses at those they
call poor white folks We have had applica-
tions made to us, and through us to others, for
work, by matte men and pomen, 10 be enabled 10

mouths, phich they had sought in vain, while we
could look out from our windows upon the
habitaiions Of negroes who were surrounded
BY every comfort, and whose dress surpassed
that Of almost any white laborer, or white la
borer's wife in the city"
So We see that even in Florida, the people
ara growing impatient Of this insuiIerable
nuisance. The editor Of the Advertiser desires
to encourage the honest, industrious white la
oorer; the pro-slavery men Of Kentucky are
struggling TO drive him out by throwing open
the gates for the further introduction OF slaves

Metsodism and slavery.

From the following extract from lions Fer
aid, Boston Methodist paper, it will be seen
that the editor supPoses no prominent Meiho-
dist minister is engaged in the Emancipation
movement in Kentucky. He is mistaken.
Methodist ministers Of great talent and intiu-
ence are with US, earnestly and effectively la.
boring in the cause. Their influence will be
felt. But we have no objections to seeing 9th
ers come forward. The field is large, and there
is plenty of room for more laborers. Come on!
We are mortified that we do not find associ-
ated with the Breckenridges, Campbells, and
other clerical leaders of the public opinion in
this noble undertaking, any prominent Meth
odist. X cannot be questioned that the Metho-
dist ministry Of kentucky could control this
great question; nay, half a score Of the lead
ing men Of that ministry, by openly taking a
stand for the movement, could control the ques-
ton. The rest would follow in their steps, the
people would generally follow the ministry,
and, will the numerical strength Of Methodism
in the Sute, no opposition could resist the NOR
al force which would thus be brought TO support
the movement. The Methodist ministry Of Men.

that this purpose originates out Of the question,
now unfortunately agitating the whole Union,
of the introduction of slavery into New Mexico
and California. Whilst no one can be more %

those territories, either by the autho rity Of
Congress, or by individual enterprise, should
be unwilling to do anything to increase the pre-
vailing excitement. hope that the question
will be met in spirit of calmness and candor,
and finally settled In a manner to add strength
and stability, instead Of bringing any danger, to
the existence Of onr Union. In all our differ.
ences Of opinion, we should never cease TO re-.
member that we are fellow citizens of one CON-
mon and glorious country, nor to exercise mu-

Gsnflemen:--1 have received the invitation
with which you have honored me to unite with
the treemen Of the Reserve, in celebrating the
passage of the Ordinance Of 1887, on the 18th
inst, and return you my best thanks for this
proof of your respect and confidence.
1t will not be In my power to comply with
your request, and II can scarcely be necessary
to say to you how cordially and earnestly con-
cur in the policy Of the great measure you de-
sire TO sustain.
That the Ordinance Of 1884, lies at the foun-
dation Of the growth and prosperity Of the peo-
pie and States Of the Northwest:-that the vigor
and vitality they possess, is justly attributable
to its action--that the exclusion of slavery by
that act, from this territory-all then held by
the Naiion-declared the original, and affirmed
the future policy Of the American people; and
that the influence Of Government should be
kept, actively and perpetuslfy on the side of
Freedom-are opinions which deserve, and will,
I doubt not, at no distant day, meet with the
heartfelt concurrence Of the masses Of the peo-
pie of every section Of our extended confeder-
scy. Sincerely wishing you success in your
patriotic efforts, am, Gentlemen, very respect
fully, Your obedient servant.
