a vast accession to our Territory and Power
The Canadas alone embrace some 100 405, 80
acres--only about forty millions less than the
entire area of the thirteen original States of
this Union and at this time their population
must be over two millions-not slaves, but free
men, not mongrel race with a language and
with habits different from our own but, as it
were, bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh.
These Colonies have trade worth annually
some $40 OOO, 900 Their resources and capa-
blties are almost ncalculable. Already their
imports from this country amount annually
to nearly 100000 while their imports from
the mother country do not exceed Sl3, 100000.

forthwith seized and sold as slaves. What
would be the action of the British Government
in such case
Our slaveholding caste, for obvious reasons,
would be cautious. about pushing to extremes
the rights acquired by naturalization, its own
action having furnished rather embarrassing
precedents For example, free persons OF color
emigrating from Texas to Massachusetts, would
be entitled, after a certain residence therein, to
all the rights of citizens in that State But,
should they return to Texas, they would be
liable toimprisonment; and, for second offence,
to slavery. The slave States, in exercising what
is termed their pol ce power" pay very little
regard to the laws of nations or the guarantees
of the Federal Constitution.

partition of Poland 1t is the very phrase used
by Nicholas in his present disintercsted designs
upon the Ottoman Empire. 1t is tho very state
in which that empire has been held by Great
Britain since the time of Lord Chatham, while
she has stripped it of province after province
made British highroad to India over its most
important and defensble pass, and at last de-
livered it, delencelcss and betrayed, to its most
hungry and virulent enemy. IL is the state, to
establish which, in France, England waged the
wars of the revolution, and contaminated the
crime called the treaty of Vienna. IL is the
state which the same England attempted to
insure here in our war of independence. 1t
is the same horrible state in which she has
held that 'cis-Anglican' isle she calls her sis
ter-with what famines and fearful shrieks Of
agony we have lately witnessed. IL is the state
of Hungary now"
II is the state in which politicians ut Bali
more attempted to rivet the Democratic Party
and the country, by the passage of Finality re-
solves 1t lis also, in African Slavery, the living
death of the black man, which those Finality
resolves were intended to eternize.
We sympathize with the Union in his detes-
tation of the status quo, in this nation es well
as in all others.

THE RIGHTS SECURED BY NATURALIZATION

Some time since statement appeared in the
newspapers to the effect that Conrad Schmidt,
formerly subject of the Government of Han
over, subsequently II naturalized citizen of tho
United States, proceeded on business to Bremen,
(bearing passport from our Department Of
State,) where he was arrested 10y tho Director
of Police, on q requistion from the Hanovorian
Government, for military services due by
Schmidt Mr.. King, our Consul, protested
against his arrest, and WAS seconded in de-
handing his release by Mr.. Barnard, our Min.
lister to Berlin The demand was complied with
tho next day whcreupon the Philadelphia
ledger remarks:

ing the information that an immense immigra-
ton thther Of Russians, said to be 10 1000 in
number, is in preparation, under the immediate
auspices of the Emperor. We have, on several
occasions and alone among American Journals.
laid before the public the evidence that the
Russian Government has fixed it, eye on these
islands, as an important political point Wheth-
er, however the special report in question is
genuine, or whether it is prepared by specula
tors on the islands to get up party in this
country for immediate annexation, we cannot
say. We think it quite rs likely that the En-
peror of Russia has his hands full just now with
irretragable Circassians and awakened Turks,
without securing the Pacific for colonies"
The Tribune trusts to the spirit of Democra.

they land upon the islands with the American
population. We should hope for such assimi-

be apt to take care of their own interests in

THE ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT.

The National Lteliigencer is 50 in love with
the eleventh commandment, "mnd your own
business that it is tempted to wish that 1t
had been Incorporated into the decalogue ."
Itmight have been Incorporated ifmen had been
created without sympathies without common
interests, without mutual dependence-had
each man been formed to constitute CON-
plete world in himself without any relations
whatsoever to any other being.
Constituted as men are the decalogue is pre-
ciSely adapted to them, without the amend
ment proposed by our respectable cotempora-
ries. In fact, this is a rule which, admire as
they may, they are always transgressing.
What right have they to rebuke the Germans
Of ST. Louis for attempting to effect the aboli-
ton of jury trial why do not they "mind
their own business?" The attempt is not
made in Washington. What right have they
to denounce rowdyism in New York? why
don't they mind their own businesS?" Why
read lectures to the women of the Northern
States on the improperly of holding Women's
Rights Conventions Is this, minding their
own busness?' Why travel out Of their way
to condemn coalitions between Free Sellers and
Democrats in other States, to sermonize upon
Abolition fanatieism, to reprove people in New
York or Pennsylvania for opposition to the
Fugitive Law? Why not "mind their own
business " There is not a number Of the In
