THE PLANS OF THE SLAVE POWER.

Although the plans of the Slave Power have
been, doubtless, secretly maturing for years, yet
they never, till the present year, have baen so
fully disclosed to the public as to command any
thing like a general beiefof their enormity and
extent. But they now, through the boldness to
which Southern leaders have been encouraged
by their traitorous minions at the North stand
revealed in all their naked deformity before TIE
face of startled humanity. They ore now I'M
blushingly avowed by the principal organs in
the South to be:
lst Tho opening of all the territories ac-
euired, or to be acquired, by the United Statos,
10 Slavery.
ID. The legalizins of Slavery in all the now
free States Of the Union.
Sd. The annexation Of Cuba, with her Slavl 8,
the reduction Of Hlyti and all the West India
Islands to Slavery, with their annexation, to-
sether with the control, for the purposes of
Slavery, of Mexico, Central America, and all the
South American provinces, as far as the Slave
holding Empire of Brazil
4th. The opening and l9galizing OF the Afri-
can Slave Trade fer tho purpose of direct and
constant importation of the captured natives of
Africa into the United States. for the stocking
of the plantations of the old Slave States, and
filling up the new cnes, and
9Th and last, the conversion OF the Federal
Government, with its army and navy, into a
power whose paramount duty is to maintain and
protect tho system against the world.
Such, beyond all doubt, are now the stipend
GUS schemes of the Slave Power, to be carried
out, step by step, in quick succession, till the
whole be contaminated. And if this be 50, is it
not now about time for us of the North to be-
Gin to calculute the value of that Union, through
which Wa are to be made the instruments of our
own degradation inlamy and ruin!

PROFITS OF A SUGAR PLANTATION Sugar
raising at the South. US genera thing is said
TO be far more profitable parsut than the grow
ing of wheat or corn in nor rnore northern States
The Missouri Democrat s ates. that on well ina.
nured sugar estates the product per acre is from
1900 to $500 pounds of sugar, and between IS
and l25 gallons of molasses that the working
hands on such plantations, average from ten to
twelve hogsheads Of sugar ard from five to six
hundred gallons of molass s to each hand CIV
ing profit, estimating good brown sugar to be
worth four cents per pound, Of from four to five
hundred do lars for each working hahd. Be-
sides this the same hands cut the corn and other
produces, and keep in order the beautiful gardens
for which many antations are celebrated As
an evidence of the very great quantity of sugar
which is consumed by the American people, it
may BIZ stated that in addition to the large amount
derived from our own Hume manufacture, suff-
cient was imported during the five years ending
with June, 1852, to produce an aggregate revenue
of thirty one million dollars.

ECLIpsEs OF THE WEEK.

On Friday, the Goth of May, there occurs one
Of those great marvels of Nature, which have
everywhere, and in all ages of the world, ar
rested the attention and excited the solicitude of
the people of the earth-an eclipse of that Ia
minary on which they are dependant for the
heat and light that all feel to be the great
source Of animation.
1t will be what is termed an annnlar eclipse
Of the Sun, from the Latin word annulus, signi-
flying ring, tho form of which will be presented
in the small outer portion of the Sun not OBJ
secured by the interesting body of the Moon
The observation will commence about quarter
past four o'clock in the afternoon, and end at
about thirty-seven minutes past six o'clock.
The central part of the Eclipse, that of the
greatest observation, and presenting the ring of
the most uniform width, will pass from Lake
CHAMPAIGN in the line of Middlebury, Hancock
and Norwich, leaving the ring on the northern
limb of the Sun widest north of that line, and
ON the southern limb widest south of that line,
Tho ring widening north and south into
segment, and nearly disappearing at the north
ern and southern extremities of the State. 1t
will he an interesting spectaclc--the largest and
most perfect of the kind that can be witnessed
in Vermont by tho present generation Of its in
habitants.
But we arc destined, it is said, to Witness
shis week, another eclipse, which, instead of
displaying the sublime and wondrous adjust
ments Of Providence in the physical world, will
show the people of this country picture of
their nations degradation, and portent per-
haps, Of che approaching ruin Of this boosted
Republic--A MORAL ECLIPSE OF THE Sun OF LIB
EsrY, whose dark and damning shadow is to fall
on the beautiful plains of Nebraska-not, like
the natural eclipse Of the week. to pass away
with the hour, and leave every thing light and
laughing around. but there forever to remain,
with its cloud Of gloom, beneath which the BIT
Der teurs of enslayed milliens are to flow on from
generation to generation, and the clank Of the
fetters, and the groans Of the oppressed, are to
continue crying up to Heaven, till the time of
the oppressor bs fulfilled, and the AyENGER come
TO smite him in Judgment.

THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST CUBA

The plot against Cuba is evidently thickeniug,
and being.hurried on to the danning consumm..
ton. On this subject the last DAILY Era re-
marks
eve like the holiness Of the Richmond En-
guirer. 1t does not hide its meaning under a
Dushel of words. That the object of arming the
President with power to plunge the country in
war, is to prevent the abolition Of Slavery in
Cuba, is explicitly avowed by the Journal
THE proposition of Mr.. slidc cjntempates mcasur. OF
The utmost consequence to the interests Of the auth yet
strangely enough it is msrspresened and opposed by por
Jon Of the Southern press 1t is all singular that the
New York Tribune and the National Ira, governed by the
combined impulses Of party spirit and Free Soil mnatacsm
shout! diScluGtenancc proposition To Democratic
President with the power to forbid the arogaton slavery
in Cuba but it argues either mscolccption treac
2rous Indifference in Southern journal, t. resist measure
Of such moment to The welfare of the ,uth.'
Meantime the plot progresses. The most bit
ter foundations against Spain appear in the
columns of the organ of the Administration
which calls for the speedy passage Of the Ne.
braska Bill, to "prepare Northern sentiment y
for the acquisition of Cuba.
In the Senate, the schemers are hard at work
1t is said by many that Mr.. Slidells resolution
will never he reported. May be not, but some
| thing that will answer the purpose better, will
be. 1t is madness to predict the failure of any
pro slavery movement in either branch of Con.
sress, merely on account Of extravaganza. Tn.
der the incubation Of such an Administration
squattng upon such Congr So, there is nj
telling What monstrosities may be hatched oat

Ex-pREsIDEyT FILLMORE is announced, by Soy
eyal papers North and South, as we anticipated
when noting his Southern tour, as candidate for
President in 1856. During that tour he has
been busy as an older spider, that has found his
web suddenly broken, in trying to patch up the
connecting and nearly sundered threads between
she Southern and Northern wings Of the Wing
party, If the Wings run him at all, it must
be on the Wing Baltimore Platform of 1850,
and as I" Ike Nes'or Of the Fugitre Soce Lao,"
as he was hailed at the South, in "a compliment
airy speech, to which he graciousy responded,
and with remarks going to show that he thought
himself cptitled to the aAttering appelltion.

For availing themselves of the strictly par
liamentary rules to secure an ordinary hearing
on the Nebraska Bill, and prevent being choked
down. by bought up and threatening ma
jority, the minority in Congress are denounced
bythoadninissratieapress factionists! Ifthey
are factionsts, what shallbe said of the4l Demo-
Gratis from the Free States, who, in direct oppo-
sition to the known will of their constituents,
vote for that outrageous measure! Which
party have most violated the acknowledged prin-
ciples of Democracy!
To all Democrats, if any such there be, who
are inclined to listen to such silly charges, made
as the best thing that can be said to avert the
mountain of odium that is now falling on this
apostate administration, commend the follow
ing lust and forcible article from the Pittsburgh
Gazette -
The REsIsTANcE-The Administration Or
pans. who IRE SO anxious for the triumph of
slavery in the Nebraska BILL are overwhelming
ly indignant at the course of the anti-Nebraska
members Of Congress in resorting to revolution
airy means to prevent the passage of that mon
strosity. They pour out floods of Billingsgate
and wrath, just us men bulked in wicked en-
terprise might he expected to do. They forget
that when California framed Constitution pro.
hibiting slavery, and applied for admission into
the Union, and bill was put on its passage for
that purpose, the Southern men, and that class
of Northern men now elamoring for the Nebaas-
ka bill, resortcd, for the purpose of defeating
it, to the very means now used by the anti-Ne-
braska members of Congress. And they sue
ceeded. Although there was very large ma
)ority of the House in favor Of passing the bill
the course Of its opponents, similar to that now
complained of by the Nebraska men. defeated it.
What was right then, is wrong now. Circum-
stances alter cases.
Bailled men may be allowed to vent their
spleen. Let the conspirators rave. But the
People will honor the heroism displayed by
their unseduced and unterrifed Representative,
who have stood up 80 nobly between them and
the most high-handed and infamous betrayal of
their rights which executive power has ever at
tempted. They deserve and will receive the
cordial thanks of the great mass Of the Ameri-
can People. We write now, without knowing
the result of yesterdays proceedings; but 70
far, these men have nobly maintained their
ground. We hope they will persevero to the
q" bitter end" Let not man of them finch
no matter how long the contest may last nor
how tierccly itmay be wagcd. They cannot trans
cend the hopes and expectations Of their con-
stituents. They will be sustained in whatever
they may do to defeat this conspiracy, even il
all other public business should be compelled to
stop, and the contest be prolonged until the 4th

CoNNEcrIcur The Connecticut Legislature
has passod resolutions against the Nebraska bill.
On Wednesday evening the diffe ent parties nom
mated their candidates for the United States Ser.
atorship The Wings nominated Francis Gil
lette, an unwavering Free Democrat, for the
short term, and Lafayette S Foster, now Spea-
ker of the House, for the long term There was
warm competition for this lat'Or nomination,
and we suspect that the friends of Hon. James
Dixon, of Hartford are sorely disappointed Mr..
Foster is from Norwich. He has been twice an
unsuccessful candidate for the Governorship. On
the slavery question he has never stood like such
v higs as Roger S. Baldwin.
