EXPECTED MIGRATION OF TOBACCO
PLANTERS.

That the Shareholders really expect to occupy Ne
braska, notwithstanding what is said in certain
quarters, is clear from the following paragraph,
which we transcribe from the Charleston Courier
of the 18th inst 1t is part of an answer to the
eensures passed upon Senator Buffers course by
some of his constituents in South Carolina
"Do the exceptants to Senator Buffers course
ever ask themselves what they would have gained,
if the Nebraska and Kansas bill had passed with
out the removal or abolition of the Missouri line,
to which those regions have been expressly suffice
ted by the legislation and compromise of lS2Oy-
The result would undoubtedly have been the sur
render of those territories to the freesoers. AL
though arc hold it clear that the Missouri restric-
tion is unconstitutional, there are n large number
who think otherwise, and nothing short Of its abo
lition or renewal will have the effect of opening
those territories to Shareholders. We have reason
to believe frow reliable authority, that, without
this measure, non-slaveholding population would
at once occupy those territories and the slavehold
ors, now there, would have to recede-nay, to give
way TO an emigrant horde of red republicans, in
principle if not in national origin, full Of the
deadliest hostility to slavery. But, remove the
Missouri line and restrictions, and Kansas, we are
well assured, will be settled by tobacco-panters,
for the production Of which staple the soil and
climate are said to be well adapted; and Nebraska
will almost necessarily take its social character and
political complexion aud local institutions, IRON

pcaicd For it is not o mere mcdullary disease,
sofeuing of the marrow, alone but 1t involves
the entire destruction of the very osseous column

turc Of Massachusetts, in pursuance Of the scientific
career on which she has entered, to Offer premium
for the discovery Of some remedy for this Spinn
iisnergatOn---a reward for some method Tor th'
VeTteJr0iion Of Politicians. Now the politicians
from tho Slaycholding States have this great od-
vantage over those from the North, that their CON
ditions are favorable TO the strengthening OF the
spinal column. Whatever their faults may be
(and it is not our purpose to affirm that they are
entirely free from them), they are singulary free
rom this particular .nlmity. SO that 1t follows,

brated comes in conflict with one which lacks that

II is all attributed to their back-bones 1t is the
natural consequence Of the superiority OF rerte-
iraied over an iAreriebrdted animal.
What the North needs, therefore, is to cultivate
nd strengthen this most important function IN

easy to be said A good deal can be done by a
proper administration of discipline, for the first
symptoms OF deterioration in the patients IN the
Washington hospitals. Strong intimations thai

If speedy improvement do not supervene, have been
known to have n marvellous good effect But we
remedy this morbid tendency. When the Free
States really believe that they have rights as vaiu-
able as the Shareholders deem Slavery to be, Al d
feel with them that they are to be maintained at
all hazards, then tho political grstlc may begin TO
harden into bone, and our public men stand up as
straight as their antagonists 1t is early education,
chiefly that is wanted, well on the part OF con-
stituents of representatives. An old battered

ANOTHER SCHEME or SLAvERY-In the expec-
taton that the Nebraska bill will pass, the slavery
lpropagandsts are already consulting as to what
shall be their next step in their onward march.
Slavery cannot stand still. 1t must 60 on constant
" or die. We recently gave some of the indca-
TONS that the next step would be to pass an act Of
Congress to allow shareholders to carry their slaves
into the free States. We think this will be the
next step, but there is another contemplated
They viii both be successively pressed, and the
only uncertainty is as to which shall be brought
forward first. Ofthis other scheme, the Washing
ton correspondent of the n. Y. Tribune says:-
"Thcrc is good deal of speculation in private
circles on the subject of re-opening the African
slave trade The Southern men cannot consistently
oppose it on any other ground than that it would
interfere with the present monopoly Of negrobree-
ding enjoyed by Virginia, Maryland, &C. There are
men from the Gulf States who openly advocate it as
measure affording them great advantages They
assert that there is no reason they should pay the
Virginians $1,000 or $500 a head for their mixed
blood, when they can get first rate field hands from
Guinea for $3.50 apiece"

Nut roR AnoLlrIoNisM.--A bill has recently
passed the Senate of Virginia. for the purpose of
allowing certain free negroes in the county Of Not;
toway to enslayo themselves. These negroes had
earnestly petitioncd TO the Legislature for this
privilege. Mr.. Campbell. the able and estimablo
Senator from the Nottoway district, in making
statement Of facts to the Senate, said they wera
manumitted by the will Of gentleman in his dis
rict, and that their desire to be sold TO their
late masters next kin. A large number Of re,
spectacle citizens Of Nottoway, feeling an Interest
in the negroes for their good character added their
recommendations for the same object. The bill
has passed the Senate, and we have no doubt, will
pass the House. .--AichnoHd Dispatch. -.

DISSOLUTION OF COMPREHENSIVE


To tbe Editor IF The NJ y Tribune
SIR: When partners cannot agree the practice
is to dissolve the connection, that each may 90 on
in his own way, or form more congenal associa
tions. They sometimes find that they made n mis-
take in separating and get together again under O
new bargain. A dissolution docs not imply malice
or hatred between the parties, and they are often
the best of friends, although not doing business
undcr the same firm. and they often have large
dealings with each other on their own individual
account or for account of their new firms respec
lively.
Now would it not be q good plan to try this in
the great copartncrship of the States? It is clear
enough that the slavcholding and non-slaveholding
States can never agreo. Then why should we keep
together aud quarrel foreverY Rather lot us sepa-
rate good friends and let each go on his way reioc-
ing. We can make fair division Of the public
property, and can sec no good reason why we
should not try IT, We shall be better friends when
we give up the right to meddle with each others
peculiar mode Of doing business. Let us try, and

The Memphis Navy Narh.

The whole matter of this Memphis navy
yard, by the way, is quite Il curious one.
The place, it should be known, is seven hun
drcd miles from the sea board and nacccssi-
bic during eight months i'll the year, for yes
sells drawing over seven feet of water The
idea of establishing Il navy yard at such a
point must have originated with an unques-
tiOnable genius, who Is richly entitled to
leather medal therefor. The manner in which
the idea became practical fact is described
by MIR. AtchisOn OF Missouri who was in
Congress at the time. The whig and demo-
cratic candidates for Governor in Tennessee
were both in Congress, one i'll the Senate aud
the other in the House. The whig member
went round among his political friends, say
ing " II you will only give me this navy
yard al Memphis, | will be able to sweep the
state The democratic candidate appealed
to his party friends in the same way, and as
,ured them that unless he could get the navy
yard the whig candidate would certainly de-.
feat him. Both parties were thus placed
under sort Of party duress, and both voted
lOr the Memphis navy yard, which thereupon
became Il fixed fact. The circumstances which
led to the donating of the yard, with all its
appurtenanccs, to the city OF Memphis at the
late session Of Congress, are scarcely less sin
gular. An expenditure of hundreds Of thou
sdhuo VI III l'pu lllc
yard had been proposed, and the Senate re-
duccd the amount to S1U.UOO. The House
reduced it to Sl3 900, whcrV"t Nv Jones,
one vi the Tennessee senators, was so lndlg-
nant, that when the bill got back to the
Senate again, he moved an amendment dona-
ting the yard and appurtcnances as before
stated. This was further amended by a pro-
vision requiring the department to cancel the
balance standing ON the department books
against Mr.. Perrin, the navy agent at Mem
phis, this balance having occurred in conse-
qucncc Of one Of the Memphis banks having
applied the government funds deposited 10y
Mr. Perrin, to the liquidation of his private
account. In this shape the bill was passed, ,
and received the approval of - New lamp
shirc's iayoritc son, the president who was
a roaring lion when it was proposed to APP
propriate a portion of the public domain for
the benefit OF the INDECENT insane.
Something has been gained however. The
Government is rid of the Memphis navy yard,
the navy agent at that point is no longer a
dciaulter, and the people have an additional
item of evidence, to aid them in their decision
as to the propriety of attempting to manu-
iacture presidents out of mere village politi-
clans, ,-Spragf feM Republican.
