Slave Labor VS.. White Labor.

We Yesterday conversed with Southern
planter from the northern part OF Georgia, who
has come on here to engage men to work on his
plantation. lie has commenced harvesting, and
requires additional help; but the enhanced
value of slaves since the Abolition agitation
places it beyond his ability to purchase larger
supply, and white labor can be employed more
economically than that Of hire slaves.
Journal Commerce
There ought to be some conference in this log
ic, but we can't get the hang Of it. How "Ab-
clifton agitation" enhances the prices of Slaves,
unless by preventing the introduction of a fresh
ly-kidnapped supply, we cannot imagine. That
the high price of Cotton and the annexation of
vast and virgin Cotton and Sugar region in
Texas, have tended to enhance the market val
ue Of "held hands" is very clear; but how is
Abolition responsible for this
However, we are very glad to learn, on such
authority, that Free White Labor does perfectly
we'll in Georgia. even with laborers fresh from
the North, whenever the planter finds It his
interest to employ them. And the more he
hires, the more he will realize that he can't af-
ford to buy slaves at s 900 per head when he
can hire far moro efficient freemen at 800 to
$3.50 year. Every free laborcr taken to
the South is fresh nail in the coffin OF Slavery.
- Tribune.
Neither the Journal nor the Tribune reports
whether this Planter was successful in getting
white laborers to so and harvest beside slaves
at 800 to $3.50 dollars per year. Such nails
in Slavery's coffin We should not expect to be
driven very numcrously.

Colonization.

In the Annual report of the Colonization
Society at New York, tho other day, the re.
porter made the following decided home thrust
at the heart and character of the whole con-
cerb, thus:
"The year has been distinguished by the loss
to the Colonization Society of its two highest
officers and most illustrous ornaments. Henry
Clay and Daniel Webster--one for nearly
twenty years the President of the National
Society, and the other with him on the list Of
Vice Presidents almost from tho foundation

Mr. Van ArsdaIe, d. d., with great justice to
the only blemish in Uncle Toms Cabin, and
we think to the shame Of Mrs. Stowe, speaks
thus:

Among the passengers who arrived in this
city by recent steamer from Jamaica, West
Indies, was Mr.. J. Wesley Harrison, coored
mnn, a native and formerly free citizen of
South Carolina. About Two years ago he
emigrated TO Jnmaica, with his family, in the
hope of bettering his own aud their condition.
He processes TO have succeeded. lie thinks
the condition of the free black in TINT island
far more desirable aud promising than in the
United States, and is well pleased with the
exchange he has made. lie now visits his
native country for the purpose of persuding
free people of his own color to follow his
example; 10 60 TO Jamaica in quest of new
homes aud a country where every business,
calling aud profession is open To them, and
where they may share equally with the
whites all political rights and responsibilities.
Mr.. Harrison is an intelligent man, about
forty years of age, aud brings letters from
some of the most respectable people of Ju-
maica. He cluims to have authority from
large planter on the islqnd, who is the owner
of ten miles square Of good tillable land, TO
offer II TO American emigrants who will oc-
cupy il, at the rate of one dollar nh mere.

PESSY SUBSCRIPTIONS TO Mas. STOWE. The
bunker papers will have it that Mrs. Stowe is to
be enriched by the Subscriptions which arc be-
ing made in England. This is not true. They
are to be appropriated for the improvement of
the free people of color. Henry Ward Beech
er speaks in the Independent Of its object as
follows:
"a word upon tho pccuniaiy offerings to Mrs.
Stowe, in England. 1t is well known 20 many
that Mrs. Stowe has from the first desired to
turn whatever influence this might give her, to
the elevation OF the African race. The plan
most in her thoughts has been a seminary in
which persons OF African descent may be thor.
oughly educated, not merely in literary and
scientific courses, but in practical arts, by which
they might secure and maintain proper place
in society. Tho founding Of such an institu-
ton she had determined to contribute much OF
her income; and the hopo of securing greater
interest for il, was one among the chief reasons
Of her tour. The generous contributions in
money, made to her in great Britain, arc no,
understood by either party, but certainly not by
Mrs. Stowe, to be for her own personal and pri-
vato use, but to be employed for the elevation
and education Of the free colored people of the
North"

Swearing to Support the Constitution.

In the Massachusetts Constitutional conven-
ton, proposition requiring the State officers
to take an oath to support the Constitution of
the U. s., was warmly opposed. Tho oppo-
nents of the measure, urged that in some of
those states where this oath was most frequent
" taken, the most inscriptions violations Of
the instrument occurred, and IL was thought
that such states would do well "to acear less
and do more"
Ohio is one of the swearing states. Under
the new Constitution, man is not thought fit
for fence.viewer or hog reeve, unless besides
swearing to perform the duties of his Office, he
also swears to support the Federal Constitution.
So say the wise ones.
