place where the Democrats were holding
their meeting. When they had nearly reach.

was floating on the breeze, their spokesman
advanced, and in substance said: Gentle.

witnessed in Caroline county. After the ex-

PEACH TRADE OF NEW YoRK.-The Jour
nal of Commerce of Wednesday says eyes
tcrday was the largest business day in the
peach trade this season, and is not likely to
be exceeded. The number of baskets rcceiv-
ed was between forty and fifty Thousand, all
from New Jersey. This il almost double the
quantity received any day last year; but hro
years ago the business was larger: as the ar
rivals of fruit in single day amounted 20
about sixty thousand baskets. The quality
of this years fruit is very inferior, and the
prices are low, ranging oil the way from cigh-
teen cents to two dollars basket. Poor
fruit is very cheap on account of Its album
dance, and good fruit is very dear on account
of its scarcity The peach tree in New Jcr-
scy is considered as gradually deteriorating
from year to year, with OF ca ,ional exceptions.
The dealers here are sending off enormous
quantities to Western New York.

seen it suggested in one of our exchanges, that

City, opposite the city of New York, and a
member of the Presbyterian Church, visited
many of the sugar plantations in Louisiana,
and says that the planters generally declared to
him that they were obliged so to overwork their
slaves. during the sugar-making season, (from
| eight to ten weeks,) as to use them up in seven
or eight years." If, then, we so legislate as to
| double the amount of sugar produced in our
Southern States, we must double the number
of slaves devoted to its culture, and the num-
Der of its yearly victims. Whence are the adj
ditional five thousand yearly sacrifices to be
derived? Says Goodell, (Slave Code, page 56,)
"The editor Of the Virginia Times, in 1886,
made a calculation that 100000 slaves went
out of that State during the year; that $4,000
| of them went with their owners, who removed
| leaving 10000, who were sold at an average
price of $500, amounting to $24,OOO,OOO."
Henry Clay, in his speech before the Coloni
| cation Society, in 1929, said: at is believed
that nowhere in the farming portion of the
United States would slave labor be generally
| employed, if the proprietor were not tempted
to raise slaves, by the high price of the South
ern market, which keeps it up in his own"
(Goodell, Slave Code, page So
Slavery has been strengthened and extended
by the increased value of slave labor. If we
desire still farther to strengthen and extend it,
there is, as | believe, no reader way to effect
this object than to lay heavy duties upon the
Importation of foreign sugar. Are we, men of
the North, ready to obstruct the channels of
trade, for the purpose of doubling the number
of human sacrifices yearly offered at Slavery's
shrine? Shall we tax ourselves, to multiply
the heart-rending scenes of families torn asun-
der? Shall we, by increasing Slavery's profit
and power, do all we can to exclude free labor
| from Kansas and other national Territories?
You, sir, have long contended that Slavery
is essentially wrong, and you have dealt it
many and effective blows. But wherein con-
sists this wrong? Is it wrong that State law
should forbid negroes selling their labor beyond
the bounds of their masters plantations, and
right that United States law should forbid our
buying elsewhere than of those masters? Is it
wrong for Legislature to transfer $4,000 from
the producers to single planter, and right for
Congress to transfer twice as much from the
consumers to the same planter?
| claim that the protection of property, and
not its distribution is the legitimate function
of Government. ISRAEL POTTER.

because it guaranteed to the slave States the
right to maintain Slavery to any extent aud as
long as they pleased, in their own borders and
Northern men, in conceding it, have relin-
ouished all right to interfere with Slavery in
any State where it exists. This has been our
nosition throughout.
But if, as Judge Kane will have it, Slavery
visits BY Federal instead of State authority,
the Federal, and not the State Governments,
have the right to say whether it shall be con-
,;nued or abolished. Ifhis decision is sustain
Cd. il throws open the whole question of eman-
cipaton to the action of the people of the
Tpion-a most dangerous doctrine for any
snpporter of Slavery to maintain. We trust
tbe question will early be brought before the
Apoeilate Court, for its final decision.

COMMERCE OF NEW YORK.

The imports of foreign merchandise of all de-
scriptions at the port of New York for the
month of August were $6,577, 1874 less than for
August 1854, and S3,6s7,3 1915 less than for Au-
gust, 1853.
Our readers will remember that the imports,
which had increased to an amount unprecedent-
ed in the history of our commerce, began to re-
cede in September of last year, the total for
that month being s3,Gz5,sio less than for Sep
TENDER, 1853, and, with single exception,
February, 1862 every month since has shown
q falling off from the corresponding period of
the previous twelve months. For the year end
ing August 3lst, the total imports at this port
are SAG, 1924 less than for the year ending
August 3lst, 1S54-a decline far more rapid
and important than the previous increase.
The total imports at the port of New York,
since January LIST, are now S37, 363,083 less
than for the corresponding eight months of
1854, and S37,346,O29 less than for the CORES
ponding period of 1853, as will appear from the
following comparison:
