interpretation Of these ambiguous acords-loe
knoto iohot she calls /" dangerous proceedings"
NE Enoto achat her Protectorate is, and the sad
experience Of past times makes as dread the
J'ttare so much the more, because the present
promises nothing reassurtng. If your Lordship
will do US the honor of casting your eyes on
the official report of NJ. Doria to the ambassador
OF her Britannia Majesty at Constantinople,
you will learn-what Austria-in this the worthy
rival of Russia-calls maintaining tranquility
In the Principalities. The protectorate of Aus
tria would be as fatal for them, and as hateful,
as that of Russia
Our country, my Lord, is oppressed; it groans
under the most tyrannical law; it sinks under
the misery of most cruel occupation the
voices of its people are stifed by bayonets, and
1t Is the duty of such as us, whom this misery
cannot reach, to express her griefs and her
hopes. 1t is to fulfil this sacred duty that we
come, my Lord, to declare that, schile oratefullv
accepting the guaranty of our political and ma.
tfonot Freedom, we protest against the sole oc-
cupation of Austria-against the principles
enunciated in the appendix to Protocol 8 of the
conferences at Vienna-against everything
which has hitherto been done, and which shall
be done IN future, in reference to the Prin-
elpalities. without the previous and free consent
of the Principalities.
Ny Lord, the undersigned consider themselves
fortunate in the belief that the Government of
her Britannia Majesty will take into its serious
consideration the critical situation of their
country and her legitimate complaints, and that
she will meet with powerful aid, in the patri-
otism of Parliament, towards obtaining speedy
justice.

and incapacity; and yet the lot brought the
handsome sum of six thousand one hundred
and thirty-6ve dollars.
Above the village, at Mrs. Pollard's, there
were six negroes sold on Saturday last, one of
whom was so old that the Commissioners could
fix no valuation on her-the other five exhibit
ed consumptive tendencies, of which the buyers
were adyised-and yet they brought on an
average five hundred and eightyseven dollars
and fortytwo cents. Among these were two
girls under eight years of age.
These figures, we think, under the circum-
stances show an advancement in the value of
slave labor, that is indeed indicative of "better
times" and of return of that confidence
which the stringency of the money market has
so seriously affected.

LAWYERS FEES IN LoUIsrANA.-The con-
tested McDonough Will has made harvest
for the lawyers. The Attorney General of the
State, it seems, engaged able counsel to aid
him, at enormous rates, which the Legislature
are indisposed to pay. In indicating his
course, he brings out the following facts, show
ing the way in which lawyers live. 1t exposes
disgraceful system of extortion upon clients:
"The case was one of so much importance,
that, on the other side, were employed Mott &
Frazer, Benjamin & Micou, John r. Grymes,
and Reverdy johnson, whose retaining fee was
$4,000, and the contingent fee several hun
dred Thousand. AS counsel for the city, there
were Roselius, Hunt, Grailhe, and Preaux
The suit was tried in 1851, in the District
Court. The labor which had to be gone
through with, in preparation for this suit, was
immense. We now come again to examine
the question of what is really due. have said,
already, that Messrs. Hunt, Roselius, Grailhe,
and Preaux, were retained for the city. Their
fee was 100000, which was paid. For the
executors were employed Levi Pearce, whose
fee was about $4,000. On the part of the
city were also employed five of the most distin-
guished living lawyers of France, Coin de I,isle,
Marcrede, Duranton, and two others, and /
suppose their fee was as large. / am told by
the gentleman from New Orleans that it was
$4,000 francs.
al have said that the counsel for the execu-
tors received $20 000 and for the city 500, 900,
and that the French lawyers received 10000
francs for simply giving an opinion. When
you consider that such large fees were given
on the other side, can you hesitate to give one
in comparison to those who so faithfully repre-
scented the interests of the State? Were they
not employed by the State ? That is acknowi-
edged, and also that they performed the SER
vices required of them. To grant an adequate
compensation is nothing more than right and
proper. Mr.. Roselius and Mr.. Grailhe gave it
as their opinion, that $4,000 would not be too
high, yet the bill only asks for $3,OOO'

THE AMERICAN ORGAN.

| 1t Is well that the people of the North should
know what the central organ of Know Nothing
ism, printed in this city, thinks of them, and of
Freedom. We find the following foul misrepre-
sentation of the Republican party in that paper
of the 4th inst The american Organ is can
didate for the House printing. Let every men,
Der, who wishes to be called Republican, re-
member that interesting fact in connection with
this hattering article: G.
THE BLACK REPUBLICAN, PARTY.
Those French desperadoes who design the
destruction of life and property are called Red
Republicans. Why should not the reckless ad
vocates of abolition and disunion be called the
Black Republicans
This nefarious clan was powerless for other
mischief than to effect the escape of few hun
dred slaves, and so to continue the exaspera-
ton between the people of the free and slave
States. 1t was composed chiefly Of foreigners,
and the descendants of Tories, who have never
been reconciled to the Union, and who agfate
for its disruption as an act of filial vengeance
for some Cowboy ancestor, who was either
hanged or tarred and feathered by the Ameri.
cans of '76. This party are willing TO unite
with Bedini, to bring this Governnent under
Papal influence, to submit to the rule of Eng
ianu TOT the alu OI HeT money UT tO uNloe
their American heritage with the Hessians of
the Rhine or the Helotes of the Lifey-pro-
vided thereby they can recruit an army suffi-
GENTLY powerful to overthrow the Union, and
extinguish all fraternity amongst those who
support it.
The pretended cause of their hostility to the
conservative portion of the American people is
the existence of Slavery within certain States,
in which it has prevailed since the adoption of
the Government. The sole subject of agitation
and defamation, with this party, is the condi-
ton of the negroes. They admit no other issue
in our foreign policy, nor our domestic relations,
but Negro Slavery. They encourage alienation
of feeling between the States, by insulting and
slandering all whom they can insult and SLAM
der with impunity.
Their preachers pray and their women long
for general instruction of slaves, terminating,
as that in San Domingo, with the murder and
destruction of all around them. These are the
Black Republicans, who have recently attempt
ed to drag to their den the carcase of the Ameri-
can party, as prairie wolf would undertake to
carry off the body of buffalo.
The Toussaint of this Domingo is General
Wilson, who avows his determination to aid
the disunionist Garrison "to secure that CO.
operation by which alone the slave is to be
emancipated, and the domination of his master
broken"
The next most active spirit is Chase, the
Black Republican candidate for Governor, who
is pledged to labor in the cause till the sun looks
down on no American slave.
