White Slavery.

A merchant assures us that several South
ern customers now here regret their inability
to buy goods of those who have hitherto sup
piled them because those houses have been
denounced (most of them falsely throughout
the South ms .4boiitionists, whom it is NOR
nj treason for Southern man to trade with.
They understand the trick themselves, hut
their neiglibors do not; aud they say they
dare not buy as they would, through fear OF
obloquy and injury at home. This is mel
nnchoy evidence that Slavery is not coniin-
ed TO any class, race or section, but spreads
its web over the whole Union.
We will give these Southern merchants
a hint which may be of use TO them. We
once had very liberal circulation in the
South most of which we have lost, but some
of il still remains. The Yankee schoolnus.
ters clerks, agents, &c. who like The Irl-

sivo planters and shareholders, who, though
they dissent from some of our views, like TO
read The Tribune aud ,Ciii because they
can uliord it, Ono of them lately told q
neighbor who ventured to hint TO him that
he ought to stop The Tribune, that lac hap

aud if any man who owned more saw fit tC
lecture him as to the journals he chose it
tuke or insinuuie that his fidelity TO the Soutl
was questionable, he would bear it hut j

SlayC-Catchers' Thanksgiving.

The hundred amateur Shareholders of
New York, rejoicing over their late victory
over helpless negro, whom they have thrust
back into the furnace of Slavery, heated sew
en- times hotter than before for his torment,
have issued their Proclamation for Nation
ai Thanksgiving, in view of this Dispeusn-
tlon OF the Divine Mercy. Hear the impu-
dent scoundrelsi
"What we would very respectfully recon-
mend is, that our fellow citizens, in all parts
OF the country, should Cease unnecessarily
to agltate the subject, and bring their minds
to think about aud contemplate subjects in
solvlng their common interests, aud common
renown, upon which, in the main, there is
no disagreement, or none of an exciting or
unpleasant character. BY pursuing this
course, we shall come TO regard each other
as countrymcn, the bond of union between
Us will be strengthened, aud we shall rejoice
~ the prosperity of each other"
For ourselves, and muliiludes everywhere
for whom we fear not to spenli, we think we
can assure these Apostles of Peace and Good
Will that we shall cease agitoting the sub
iect of slavery whenever we find any other
snbject "inyOlying the common interest and
the common renown" of the people of this
country in any degree approaching this one,
and not before. At least we shall then cease
% devote to it so large n proportion OF our
thoughts and efforts as it now eXtorts from
US. We cnn tell them that gigantic Cruel
~, hideous Oppression, like Slavery, Gre
utes its own antagonists by the operation of
the fundamental laws OF morals aud of mind.
People cannot dismiss Slavery from their
minds il they would. Even these very men,
batting the sound OF the word, though loving
the reality of the thing, eau think aud talk
OF nothing else. Ii they will disturb the
whole nation by believing Silence" can
they expect that zoe will cease telling how,
aud only how, it can have the Silence aud
Peace Tor which it yearns? We take il for
granted that these select Shareholders are
very great men in the eyes of New York as
we'll as in their own Though the names OF
some bali dozen OF them are all that We
ever heard before y but they cannot change
the original structure of the human mind,
apd persuade it to feel no agitation when the
due occasion of agitation is present before it.

THE END OF SLAvERY-Mr Clay pre-
diets that some centuries hence, when the
land on this continent shall all have been
settled, and when free labor shall have be-
come cheaper than that Of slaves, the pres
ent system of negro slavery will be abandon
ed. That is, when all poor people are slaves
together, there will be 10 distinction be-
tween white and blnck slaves. There nre
certain things MIR. Clay does not properly
consider, in proving this opinion. lie does
not consider the progress OF intelligence, the
reform spirit of the age, nor the great agent
of both, the public press.
Now let us make prediction. Before fif-
ty years, negro slavery, in its present form,
will be voluntarily and freely abandoned by
the whole South. Before century, igno-
rance, and poverty, the result of ignorance
and disease, the result of both will be al.
most unknown in this country and in three
centuries, our system will have spread over
what is now the civilized world.-M Y. Sun

AN APT ILLusTRATIoN.-Th The Norfolk

to the bargain in Congress at the last session

promise measures carried through, the North
was 10 have Tariff. lie said there was a
boy in bis neighborhood, after having eaten
full meal, who had spaniel dog that was
very hungry. lie took n cracker aud held it
up, telling the dog if he wanted i, to stand
up. The dog stood up. Now said the
boy, sit down. The dog sat down. Now
roll over.' The dog rolled over. Now
speak, The dog spoke. Then turning
round, the hoy put the cracker in his pocket,
saying, shall want that TO make him do it
again. So with the Tariff. After carrying
all the obnoxious measures, the South turns
coolly around, kills the bill, and says, I'VE
shall want that 10 make them roll in the mud
again."

The DagurrrcOtypc Superseded.

IN the Daguerrean Journal for February,
VIE find am nccount of new discovery made
"a ,un artist naned l.. l.. Hill, to which tue
- &f..--Sf Iiiiiotgpe has basn, gwen by ue
fHcnds of the inventor. Unless the entbusi-
asnI of Mr. Hill and those around him has
caused them TO he too hasty in proclaiming
n triumph, this is one of the most remarka-
BILE discoveries of the day. We gather from
the journal" that Mr. Hill, who resides in
Wesikill, New York, Z" has discovered pro-
cess of producing impressions upon metallic
plates, ioiih all Lhe colors Of nature" The in
venior has proved this by copying colored
engravings, and comparing the copy with the
original.
Every color is repeated without the slight
est variation of tint. The durability of the
Iillotype has been tested by the exposure of
Two impressions for four months to the di-
rect rays of the sun, on an average of about
six hours per day, without causing any per-
cepiibe change. In fact, the pictures may
be called indestructible, as they can only be
removed by the most vigorous securing, such
as would destroy the smooth surface of the
plate. A picture can be taken in much less
time than common Dnguerreotype, aud
the inventor has but little doubt that he "will
soon be able to operate in diliIsing light in
siantaneous,y." The process is kept secret
because the discoverer wishes to secure his
reward by a patent.-PiHSJurgh Gazette.

FREE SuFFRAGE.-A bill has been sub
nitted to the Legislature for submitting the
question Of Free Suffrage to the people
The question has been submitted once, and
a large majority of the votes cast on that
question were in favor of the privilege. We
wish some one would test the matter in the
Supreme Court. We contend that the vote
already cast is sufficient, and that Negroes
according to law, are entitled TO vote. II is
folly to submit tho same question again, with
out decision. If the decision be against
the privilege, then the Constitution must be
amended.-- Oshkosh (Ifis.) Democrat.

SLAvE-cATcHING MEAN BUSINESS. MIR.
Clay says no Southern gentleman would en-
gage in a sidve-hunt. He Gays he once saw
a Fugitive Slave in free State, and though
he belonged to an intimate friend, he would
not, and did not betray the Fugitive! Such
are the nice notions of saveholding chiyal-
ry, and yet the Fugitive Law would compel
Northern ireemen to enter into this mean
business, which Southern gentlemen will not
touch with one of their fingers Wllat do
graded men then, must be the agents of these

The Work must 90 On.

The Anti.Slavery agitation never can die
ont. Ii has boon going on increasing from
the day OF its small things in spite of the
steady opposition of the Stute aud the
Church, aud of all tue usually controlling
influences of Society. Ii has taken posses
sion of Congress and turned il into Il great
Anti-Slnvery Debating Society, with the
whole country for an audience. Increasing
attention to the subject must be followed by
growing intelligence and more earnest
sense of responsibility aud duty. These
feelings will take various shapes and will APP
proacL the object that eXcites them by diff
ierent ways. But they will never cease to
haunt il and make it uncomfortable in it:
wickedncss. Fortunately il does not take
mnDy TO rug the AIarni-b (that bell whicl
Burke tells us we should rejoice TO hear
when the City is on fire,) and as il has been
kept clasling for twenty years, with few
hands nj the rope, aud with neighborhood
hitting the disturbance more than the con-
fagrntion, we think il is more than Mr.. Clay
or Mr.. Webster can do to silence il. That
the American Union must come TO an end, If
the element of Slavery he not eliminated is
us certain as that the Union between the
Thirteen Colonies aud England must have
ceased, ut some time, even If it had been
postponed from 1776, or as il is that great
changes must take place in the political ar
rangements of Continental Europe. 1t is
merely question of time. And all the pro-
iessions OF loyalty and allegiance with which
our great men and little great men think il
necessary 10 garnsh their speech withal, are
symptoms not of health but of conscious
weakness. The true friends OF the country
are they who are proving that the Union is a
delusidn and a snare, as now constituted,
strong only for evil and impotent for good.
Increasing multtudes ure growing up TO the
knowledge of this truth, aud the day Of its
reduction TO practice will be that from which
History will date the birth of the Republic.

TnE .Nstc York Observer, while advising a
man who has two fugitive slaves in his en-
ploy, what course he ought TO pursue if they
are claimed, says;
"If the master has done nothing TO forfeit
his claim, the slave who flies from his SER
vice does him ,uong, for ,chich he is bound 10
make repGration. The doctrine that the slave
owes nothing 10 his master, is not doctrine
of the Bible; and, if carried out TO its legiti-
mate consequences, would extensively unset
tie title 10 property, and bring the worst
evils upon society not only at the South, but
at the North also"
We venture TO say, that no respectable
man South of Mason and DiXon's line, nor
the veriest slaye-breeder in the land, will sin
cerely and deliberately profess doctrine SO
absurd and unnatural.-.N y. Eve. Post.
