THE PALACES AND LUXURY OF NEW
YORK.


II some Of the New York city papers are to be
believed, the extravagance Of what they call
the upper classes is fast corrupting their mo-
rails, and running their fortunes They build
magnificent palaces that are furnished in orr
entail elegance, and kept up at an almost in
credible cost. All that can stimulate to ex-
hiaration, or WOO to languid and luxurious re-
pose, is found in the palaces of these high and
mighty nabobs. The expense at which these
establishments are kept up, seems to have
alarmed the fears and excited the horror Of
the very righteous newsmongers Of the COM
mercial metropolis. To this extravaganza they
attribute all the commercial disasters that be-
fall that city. They say, too, that in very many
instances there is no sound solid basis for the
splendor that dazzles, and the show that de.
lights.
Now, If these men live honestly and wrong
nobody, the newspapers have got nothing to do
with their mode Of living. They have got an
unquestionablc right to spend their money as
they please, either in houses, furniture, horses,
wines, or what not. 1t is idle to find fault with
people who can afford il, for sporting splendid
equipages or drinking costly and delicious
wines. Most human beings in the same cir
cumstances, would have the same weakness, If
weakness it may be called. Men have loved

In connexion with the unmstakable fact that
the ratio Of decennial increase of free colored
population in the United States has declined
from 1928 per cent. between 1890 and 800, to
l247 per cent between 1910 and 1850, it will
be observed that during the same period the
rate Of decennial increase Of the whites had ad-
vanced from 35.68 per cent. to 37.74 per cent.
In the New England States the number Of
free blacks has kept about stationary In New
York their number have absolutely declined
about one thousand in ten years. In the mid
die States the decline in the ratio Of increase is
especially observable. In the western States
for few years past the grand reservoir Of ne.
gro emigration-an increased ratio is shown /:
but even here the aggregate addition to that
portion of the population amounted in ten years
70 but little over 10000, ratio great way
behind the white increase.
Thus much of the increase in the free States
In the slave States q different state Of things is
presented. Here, where we should naturally
look for the largest decrease of the free negro
population, there has been and continues 10 be
steady increase; and this, as the Philadel
phia paper remarks, in spite of the civil and
social disabilities and the antagonism of races
which is more marked there than at the north
And although each Of these States have passed
laws forbidding absolutely the introduction of
free negroes from other States, their numbers
multiply there in ratio exceeding that of most
Of the free States, which are the refuge of fugi-
tives and whose laws are the most indulgent
and aattering to the colored race.
The free negroes are now more numerous in
the slave than in the free States--a result not
TO be easily credited or comprehended, when
we think OF the opposite institutions and tastes
that exist in the two divisions Of the confede-
racy. 1t must be referred partly to the more
favorable climate of the south, and party to a
natural inclination in portion Of the race to
submit to the degraded condition of their an
cestors, rather than undergo the hazards so
often attendant upon higher civil standing in
more northly States.
Touching the fact that the rapid natural in
crease of the slaves, without any aid from i'm
migration or foreign slave traffic. is in striking
contrast with the almost stationary condition
OF the free negroes, the Bulletin remarks:
1t furnishes no moral justification of the
institution OF slavery, but ii does give de-
cided denial to the stories Of general cruelty
and degradation among the slaves; for no race
could thrive and multiply thus steadily and
rapidly, under general system of cruelty. It
proves, indeed, that the average Of social hap
piness and physical health, which are the chief
stimulsnts Of rapid increase, is greater among
the slaves than among the free negroes and a.

A NOBLE FULF1LmENT OF PLEDGES.

NOBLE FULFILMENT OF PLEDGES.
1t is due to that division of the New York
democracy, known as the Hards," it is due to
their friends and sympathisers throughout the
the country, and due to ourselves, and the re-
laton we have held to them, to aid as far as
we can in vindicating their fidelity to the demo
cratic creed and their loyalty to the Constitu-
ton. 1t will be remembered that when por
tion Of their representatives. in Congress worked
and voted against the Nebraska bill, we de-
clared that their course would not, could not,
and did not, command the appreciation of the
masses of that party in New York. 1t will be
| remembered that we declared it as our firm
conviction, founded on accurate information
derived from the most reliable sources, that the
New York national democrats were in favor of
the Nebraska BILL with the doctrine of non-in-
tervention in it.
The action of their late convention at Syra-
cuse, the proceedings of which we published
yesterday, fully, amply, and entirely establishes
the correctness of our opinion, and as fully and
entirely vindicates their soundness and honesty.
Their resolutions, which we published yester-
day, meet the issues raised by the Nebraska
bill, without evasion, equivocation, or deceit.
They are right to the point. Nor did they
content themselves with mere resolutions ap-
proving the doctrines of the Nebraska bill, but
they nominated, as their candidate for Gov
ernor, distinguished gentleman known to be
warm friend of that measure-Judge Bron-
son. The course of some of their representa-
tives in Congress, who finched at the first
trial of their boasted loyalty to the constitu
tional doctrine of ron intervention, excited
general and natural distrust. This distrust
will not now longer exist. The anti-Nebraska
members stand before the country unsustained
by their constituents and their party.
We are gratifed to say that the New York
national democrats have fulfilled their pledges
to their friends in other States, have met the
general expectation, have relieved themselves
of the suspicion cast on them by illjudging and
indiscreet friends, and that they now stand re-
deemed, regenerated, and disenthralled."
We feel now that our confidence was not mis-
placed and our sympathy not undeserved. We
feel proud, that despite the abolition influences
around them, in the face of the loud cry of re-
peal raised by frantic men in their midst and
of the noisy call for the freesoil convention at
Saratoga, that the national democrats of New
York have boldly and honorably shown them
selves true to their party creed, true to the Con-
stitution, and true to the rights of all the States
