WASHINGTON, June L, 1901.
GEsrLEMES: Your favor of the 10Th ult. is duly
at hand. regret that my duties here will not per-
NIT me to meet the friends of Taylor and Johnston
in town meeting, at the Chinese Museum in Phila-
dephia, Monday evening next. The times
require that the friends Of freedom and Of domestic
industry should counsel together, and present an
undivided front TO their opponents. These are
times which require wisdom and energy Of charac-
ter in those who have the management Of the
affairs of the State and Of the Nation. combined
and powerful effort is being made TO extend slav-
cry into territory free; failing in this, TO
rend into fragments our glorious Union. To meet
this danger requires the united action Of all who
feel pride in the permanence Of our free insttu-
tons. General Taylor has given evidence of wis
dom in council equal TO his vaor in the battle field;
in him the people have confidence With his name
inscribed on our banner, shall again be vctori-
Gus, and our noble Union will be safe.
cannot be with you, but wish 10 be considered
as present. and as holding up both hands for Taylor
and Johnston our candidates in the approaching
contests.
am, gentlemen, respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN FREEDLEY.

of the value Of the Union. It is infinitely bet
ter that they should try and weigh some of the
lighter consequences Of a severance from the
sister States, than that they should involve
themselves irrevocably in all of them without
the benefit of that knowledge to be derived
from actual endurance. The result would
nfallibly be higher estimate of the advan-
tages of the federal connection, and stronger
Discrimination TO give them up, than had ever
before existed. Voluntary associations for the
purpose of non-intercourse, or rather of nom
consumption, have, in addition to this being no
infraction of the Constitution, the further
commentator that each individual can main
tain his connection with them as long and no
longer than his Judgment dictates. So FIR as
they might result in building up the manufac-
lures, developing the resources and dversifying
the industry of the South, they would resultin
good to both sections. No portion of the
country can sustain injury from the improve
ment of the other. We think, to be sure,
that the object can be attained much more
readily without non-intercourse than with it;
that il is greatly better to have the assistance of
the North, in promoting the national independ-
ence of the South, than TO exclude its aid.
However we might deprecate an appeal to mo
tives of sectional discord for the formation Of
associations intended to promote commerce,
manufactures, and the mechanical arts in the
southern States, we should regard the object
with the warmest sympathy, and do every
thing in our power to forward it, believing that
it would result in eminent good to the whole
country.

In the Senate, yesterday, the bill making
further provision for carrying into effect the
provisions of the Constitution respecting per
sons held To service or labor in one State es-
Gaping into another, was under consideration.
In the House Of Representatives., two inef-
fectual motions were made to suspend the rules
for the purpose OF introducing resolutions tc
make the Utah, Texas boundary, California
and New Mexico bills, from the Senate, spe-
cial order. And the House refused to suspend
the rules to enable Mr.. HARRIS, of Tennessee
to introduce a resolution fixing the second Mon
day of September for the day of adjournment
The consideration of the Civil and Diplomatic
Appropriation bill was resumed in Committee
of the Whole on the state of the Union.

of e 100000 were imposed'''
Mr.. OSBORNE, the commissioner for the Lon
don Times, writes at the same time from Dub
lin:
"The recent report of the emigration commits

colonies and United States has averaged in the last
three years 10000 per annum. There is no great

good authority that vast numbers only wait this

from five TO is, of IS 1885, from Is to 20, of 4,274;
while above 80 acres there ia an increase of 1910
now."
Two hundred thousand persons, who, accord
ing to the free trade plan, should have been
provided with the most profitable employment,
inasmuch as there is plenty of land for them to
till, after raising crops which they cannot afford
to eat themselves, go to England every year in
search Of work in its harvest fields; two hun
dred thousand more of them, by the aid of con-
tributions from their friends who have escaped
from free-trades cave Of despair, emigrate to
America; according to this same, they are ena-
bled to vacate the poor houses, in large num-
bers, every week, by remittances from the Uni
ted States. While they are waiting for succor
the cost of maintaining them is thrown upon
the land holders, to the cost, in some cases, of
half their Incomes and the consequence is that
they too abandon the soil. To what extent
''and monopoly is the cause of the evil may
be inferred from the facts stated by Captain
Larcom, showing that in single year the mum
Der Of persons who refused any longer to mo-
nopolize land was SO, $50, after deducting the

consequence, and not the cause; and it will
everywhere increase with the continuance OF

We referred two OF three days since to the
fact that Ireland exported food while her popu-
lation was starving, and three-fourths Of her
land remained untitled, TO England, which tills
three-fourths Of its land, as evidence of what
enforced restriction 10 mere agricultural en-
ployments has reduced that island England
has imposed this system upon Ireland by force,
as she has endeavored TO force il upon ms by
speeches and essays, for the purpose of main
tanning her monopoly Of manufactures and com
merce and she styles it free trade, with the
same propriety, in the one case as in the
other. The nducement held out to us is
put in the shape Of an argument like this:
Those employmonts which require no protec-
ton are the most profitable because those to
which the country is best adapted. The total
capital of the country will, therefore, increase
most rapidly when its industry is restricted 10 its
natural pursuits; and nasmuch as capital is the
fund from which labor derives employment the
activity Of domestic labor will in this way be
most surely sustained. Such is the theory.
The files of recent foreign papers furnish us
with the usual array Of facts in answer. The
first is taken from debate in the House of
Lords, on the 23d of July last, on the Popula-
laton bill:
"Lord MoNrgAeLE called attention to a circum-
stance of some importance rs regarded the Irish
Population bill. Formerly, the Irish census was
taken in the months Of July and August, when a
large number of the agricultural laborcrs Of Ire
land engaged in reaping the barvests OF
England Now it was to be taken in the month OF
March, period when all those laborers were in
their own cabins in Ireland. This would give an
apparent, but not real, increase Of two hundred
thousand TO the populate n Of Ireland lie hoped
that some measure would be adopted for the cor
rection of this error"
In the House of Commons, on the same
night, in debate on the Irish Poor Law,
"Sr w. BARRoS said, that the poor law Of Ire
land in its present state, and under its present ad-
ministraton, was one Of the greatest grievances
that England had ever inflicted upon the head Of
devoted Ireland. II was a measure that was rapid
