As general rulc, slaves DO not come to tho
quarters for either breakfast or dinner, but take
their "ash cake" with them, and eat it in the field
This was so on the home plantation probably, be-
the distance from the quarter to the held was
sometimes two and even three miles.
The dinner Of the slaves consisted Of huge
piece of ash cake, and small piece of pork, or
two salt herings. Not having ovens, nor any suit.
able cooking utensils, the slaves mixed their meal
with little water to such thickness that spoon
would stand erect in it; and, after the wood had
been burned away to Goals and ashes they would
place the dough between oak leaves and lay 1t
carefully in the ashes, completely coverering il
hence the bread is called ash cake. The surface
of this peculiar bread is covered with ashes, to
the depth Of sixteenth part of an inch, and the
ashes, certainly, do not make ii very grateful to
the teeth, nor render it very paltabe. The bran,
or part of the meal, is baked with the fine,
and the bright scales run through the bread. This
bread, wthts ashes and bran would disgust and
choke northern man, but it is quite liked
by the slaves. They cat it with ayidity, and
are more concerned about the quantity than
about the quality. They are far too scantily

That, while it is painful to our petitioners
TO be compelled to allude to individual cases,
they nevertheless feel it to be their duty to eL
press their deep regret that Her Majesty's
government should have selected a slavholder
to fill the Office of High Commissioner to the

that this fact cannot but tend greatly to. weaken
the moral effect of any rcmonstrance the gov.

JeferBon's Notes." and so often alluded to as
merely flourish Of rhetoric by iMr. Jeffcrson.-
His declaration of opposition to Slavery will meet
a hearty response from the lovers Of Freedom
throughout the country. We have found amongst
our red brethren many men who take decided
stand against Slavery and who have used all their
power to prevent its introduction amongst .hem,
being compelled even to oppose the missionaries
who brought slaves to Kansas. But few days
ago we asked a Shawnee what he thought Of sla-
very, when he replied, with the impressive elo-
quence of truth, God make him white man, God
make him blake man, God make him Indian, bus
God never make him slave; and why should man
ensaye his brotherf" That was an argument
which even the Atchsons and Strngfellows could
only answer by calling hin "d-d Abolitionist."

A MELANCHOLY VIEW.

We find in one Of our southern cotemporaries---
the Charleston Mercury-a paragraph which we
think likely to excite good deal Of reflection in
that quarter. 1t reads as follows:
"The present condition of China is melancholy
demonstration Of what conservatism may do for n
family. The lowest rung on the social ladder is oc-
cupied by the oldest living national nation that
claims to be the only civilized The poorer classes
in the neghborhood uf Hong Kongare selling their
children for twenty four cents each. This price
applies to girls OF seven to ten years, and the pur
chaser must take them away at once and support
them They are chiefly employed rs servants.
Older girls being more or, to speak commercially
we quote girls from seven 10 ten years at twenty
FIVE cents, ten to fifteen years, dollar. Fif-
teen to twenty years arc moro in demand and
cannot be had under seventy to one hundred doll
ars' "
But why is this called nc o.ancholy demoastra-
tion 1t cannoi be because children are sold in
China, inasmuch as that takes place every day un.
der the eyes Of the 'Nrectry, without awakening
therefore, that the sad part of the story lies in the
fact that they are held at so cheap rate. In
South Carolina itself, where the CONSERVATISM" is
quito rs intense as it is in China, and where If we
may believe the late arguments of the Charleston
Standard, noing to show that slavery is an advance
upon all previous conditions Of society. the people
are 1.-The only civilized" the market-price of chill
dren. and especially Of girls of from fifteen to
twenty years Of age, is several hundred per cent
higher. How faddening think Of tho depress
ion OF the commodity on the other side OF the
globe.
We can fancy the distress OF mind on tho part
OF the South Carolina dealer to proceed from two
causes, either a regret that the Chinese market, at
its present low quotations,is not open him, or an
apprehension that similar decline may some
day fall upon his own home trade. Bless me y
saws one country naboh as his eye runs indolently

lition which has inj ured especial to tho benefit o!
tho northern seauorts.
Mr.. Benton might have illustratoi this view by
\ reference to the gratuities paid by the federal
government to ocean mail steamboat monopolies,
equal alone in amount to all the other postal
vice of the United States and nearly equal TO al
enjoyed by single northern seaport. The tbeor,
that the North ana the S)uth have any incompati-
bio interests in relation to slavery is of quite mod
ern origin, and one Of the most unfortunate delu
sions that the South can indulge in. Demagogues
begat it, and demagogues encourage it for the very
purpose of shutting the eye of southern people
while picking their pockets Mr.. Collins, the
President Of the Castle Garden Union Safety Com
mittee, receives $S0000 from the general govern
ment RS a 1oaas for the Liverpool line of steamers
of which he is the agent The principal pecuni1

or "IIard" democracy of this State, George Law.

of dollars annually for line of steamers which
be assisted to establish between New York and
California 1t is such men and such interests n.
these shat have given to every slavery issue o
late years such monstrous and unnatural proper
lions at the South; for in that way have these gi
gantc obbers and contractors discovered that they
could hest succeed in dividing the two
great parties at the North, and thereby secure
species of balance Of power in Congress, and
through it the grants which are daily making the
southern States more and more foeby and more
and more dependant upon Northern industry, Nor
thern commerce and Northern capital.
The South has already lost as much as she is
worth through these Union-savers whom she has
taken to her BOSOM and until she can agree t) sub
nit patiently to the decision of the federal govern
ment upon all questions of federal jurisdiction
and assist faithfully in bringing back the gov
ernment to the old democratic republican basis
eschewing all special legislation neither Union
nor disupion will afford herany substantial relief.

INFLUENCE OF SLAVERY on CIVIC VIRTUE.
/ II amass Of slaves at any moment on breaking
their fetters, find themselves capable of establish
ing liberal government; If they could Mt once on
! being emancipated or on cmancpating themselves,
appear possessed of civic virtue, slavery would be
deprived Of more than half its horrors. Bat the
institution, while it binds tho body, corrupts the
mind. The outragas which men commit when
they first regain their freedom furnish the strong
est argument against the condition which can rem
der human nature capable Of such crimes Idlo-
ness and treochery and theft are the vices Of sla
very. The followers Of Splrtacus, when the
pinnaeles of ,he Alps were almost within their
sight turned aside to piundor; and the Roman
army was able to gain the advantage when the
! fugitive slave changed from defender of per
sonal liberty into plunderer.
INFLUENCE OF SLAVERY on PUBLIC MORALS.
In like manner, the effects of slavery became
visible on public morals. Among the slaves there
was no such thing as the sanctity of marriage
dissolutenoss was almost ms general the ca2s
The slave was ready to assist in the corruption Of
his masters family. The virtues of selGdenal
we're unknown. But the picture OF Roman i'm.
morality is too gross to be exhibited. Its exceS,
can be estimated from the extravaganza Of the re
action. WAen the Christian religion made its way
through the oppressed classes of society, and gain
ed strength by acquiring he affections of the mis-
cradle, whose woes it solaced, the abandoned
manners oil the cities excited the reprool Of ian
aticism. When domestic life had almost ceased tC
exist, the universal lewdness could be checked
only by the exaggerated culogies Of absolute ehas
! tity
! Converts and nunneiies grew up at the time
when moro than half the world were excluded
from the rites of marriage, and were condemned
| by the laws Of the empire, to promiscuous indui
gence. Vows of virgnty were the testimony
which religion bore against the enormtics Of the
! age. Spotless purity could alone rebuke the
shamefulness of excess. As in raging diseases
the most violent and unnatural remedies need tc
he applied for season, SO the transports of enthu
sasm sometimes appear necessary to stay the in.
fccton Of moral pestilence. Thus riot produced
ascetcism and monks and monkish eloquence
and monastic vows, were the protest against the
general deprOvity of manners.
