WHITE SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES, is the
title of the second tract issue of the American
Anti-Slavery Society. Its eight pages are crowded
with facts illustrating one of the peculiar features
of slavery, which multitudes in their ignorance
have supposed did not appertain to the system, viz .
that any Of its victims are actually yhite. That
neither by form, complexion nor features can they
be distinguished from the enslaving race. We
commend it for circulation among such as can look
with complacency upon the enslavement of black
men and women, and yet have a holy horror of the
enslavement of white folks.
We have subsequently learned that Nos. 3 and 4
are also out of press.
The former is a tract on Colonization by Rev. O.
B. rockingham. The latter, "Does Slavery
Christianize the Negrof ?" by Rev. 7. W. Higgin
: son.
ELECTIVE FRANcHIsE.-The (Wisconsin) Free
Press, earnestly urges the Legislature of thai
State to take measures to secure the alteration O.
the State Constitution so as the grant the right o.

sistently do no less than this. lie Well says;
THE lordlings of the South point with derisior
to the laws which Operate so periodically to oul

in relation to their system of seryitude. Let us il

The American Senate, will have no other than
Slaveholding prayers in her body. The Senate's
Chaplin last year was a Methodist, Rev. Mr.. Sill
Ger. The House has also elected a Chaplin of the
same denomination, Mr.. Seward proposed that on
that account one should be selected from another
sect. But Mr.. Slicer had been faithfully pro-sla-
very on the Nebraska, as we'll as every other ques'
ton of the same sort, and the Shareholders and

fensiveIy, but this does net invadate the right.
Sardinia declined to receive NJ. Foresti as Con-
sui at Genoa, and We while deeply regretting the
result, acquiesced in the principle asserted. So
Mr.. Clayton sent home NJ. Poussin, the Minister
first accredited to Washington by the French
Republic of AS; and, though we think our Sec
rotary of State would not have done this had the
Maine Law been at the time in full force at Wash
inston, yet France quietly submitted to the ex-
clusiOn and sent new Minister instead OF NJ.
POussin. If Louis Napoleon were to notify our
Government that the presence of Gen. Mason at
Paris was disagreeabe to him, and not likely to
promote good understanding between the two
Governments, we should expect our President to
withdraw Mr.. III. and send new Minister in his
stead, without hesitation or Offense.
But the case of NJ Soule is not a. all like
these. He is not accredited at all to the French
Court, and that Court has been nOwise asked to

TIE COUNTY CAsvAss.-With regard to frauds
upon the Canvass in this City it is proper to say that
all rumors Of trckery at the County Clerks Offico
are simply absurd. The return deposited there is
copy of the original state nent delivered to the Alder
man Of tho Ward, and in order to increase the vote
of any candidate, the poll-list must be written up
with fictitious nsmes and imaginary residences, the
various added ballots be properly distributed among
the boxes and all this must correspond not only with
the original statement in the Aldermans possession,
but with the wel-known and widely-publshed result
proclaimed on the first counting OF course this woull
be next to impossible with the full concurrence
of the Inspectors and the Alderman. We feel sure
that any insinuatoA Of misconduct the part of the
clerk, Richard b. Connolly or bis deputies and as
sistants would be, in the highest degree, unjust.
Whatever puzzliDg there is perpetrated by get

speaking the swindle is done by double voting and
bringing up those who have no right TO vote.

These figures are what might have been ex-

rowdy First, the porter-house Fourth. the
bloody Sixth, the hger-beer Eleventh, the Sun

squatters who make up large portion of the
population of the Twentieth and Twenty second,
came up shoulder to shoulder, every man Of

voters, and went straight through for Seymour,
Wood and Rum. Yet in spite Of this rushing to
his standard of all the debauched and vile of the
City, he got actual majOrities in only tro Of the
twenty-five Wards of the City; the Sixth, where
there are only twice as many voters as there are
rum shops, and the Fourteenth where they have
only one rum shop to every three voters. In the
Sixth he gets a clear majority of S65, having,
in order to make it, raised the whole vote
of the Ward from l,437, which it was last
year to 2,025-only forty per cent. increase,
which, considering. the necessities Of the case,
was quite modest. In the next Ward above, the
Fourteenth, where the proportion of Rum to
Voters is 0per cent. less, he gets only % ma

SOCIETY IN LIBERIA.

In our columns to-day is published letter
from black man in Liberia. This correspond
ent furnishes details of the actual and comparative
life there, which strike US as novel, and will ex-
cite a smile cause some philosophical generaiza-
tiOn or perhaps fortify the strength of aeste, ac
cording to the spirit in which they are feceived.
One thing is certain, that the black man who
wrote the letter, which We publish according to
the manuscript, cannot be set down "as one re-
Liberia small per centage of such cleverness,
they possess the elements of civilized Govern
ment, destined to win its way into the interior,
and rescue the natives from the gross forms OF
heathenism and the brutalties of their savage
condition.
The principle of social distinctions is as old as
humanity. and all that modern reformers (even
the best-abused Ones) have enunciated aud prac-
tced, is to seek TO bring the mean and vulgar up
to the sristocratic standard Of morals, manners,
dress, and department, and not to descsnd to the
low level of the majority. The amusing part of
our Libelian correspondents letter is that the
black population Of Liberia offers no exception to
the universal spirit and practice of the race
thus decisively demonstrating that the nature
Of the black man is the same as that Of the
white. As perfectly as the means and measure
of the population viii allow, the same social
differences exist there ss in this City Of New
York. Thus, according to our limner's picture
of the actualities of Liberian Life, there are
in the LouseLold-even in the PenStraliG OF do
nestle existence-and even in bis own home,
clergyman as he is-three distinct classes: him
self and relatives-the Americana born servants,
as the cook and lady's maid-snd then the outside

MILE RACHEL ~ TRoUBLE.-We have already

NJ lie Rachel to compel her TO play Medea in tragedy
Of that name, by NJ. Legouve, which she had once
promised to undertake, but had afterwards refused.
After the evidence had been heard, NJ. Chalk dEst
Apge the advocate Of Mile Rachel, contended that
che had never absolutely engaged to play the chsrac
ter and ba: all the expressions Of appreciation of the
part attributed to her by the witnesses were mere
phrases OF ordinary courtesy toward an author. He
affirmed that she had honestly endesyored to recon
Gle herfefto revolving part, but at lst being per-
suaded in her judgment that it not suited to her
genius, she felt compelled, in justice to her own reDu
tatiOn, to renounce it. He warmly reproached NJ.
Legouye for going to law to force great artist to be
mere speaking machine. The court, however,
thought Tile Rachel wholly without any ground Oh
defense she had clearly contracted with NJ Lesouye
TO play Medea and the contract is recognized oy
law. NJ lie Rachel therefore decreed 10 play the
psrt at the Francois forthwith, and in default pay

months AT the end Of that tme If she stil refuses,
