THE "NIGGER"A GREAT /" INSTITUTION
New Orleans Crescent throws off the following
pointed paragraph concerning the slavery sys-
tenn of the South
The "ngger" is great, in fact, supsndous institu.
ton He three.fod purpose and that Is
than many white capable Of In the first place
he sows hoes and gathers in product which clothes
world; which has made Massachusetts, rich and saucy
1 better than her neighbors; which enables England to
II carry the against Russia which supplies France
with the sinews Of conflict and which helps Christian
tons each others throats by furnishing the
material indispensable to the Of muftaous
Y branches Of industry.
Secondly, our contemporary says, the niger
serves the purposes of the abolition agitators of
the North; and thirdly, the secession fire eaters
Of the South, which is true We must admit
\ it. Dispense with the " Niger" and the stock
in trade of these ultras of both sections is gone.
Common charity, therefore, to the abolitionists
and the sccessionists, requires that the institu-
ton should be kept up Thousands Of philan-
tbropic demagogues in the North, who live
upon tho sufierings Of :" Uncle Tom," and the
credulity Of benevolent political women and
sickly fanatics, would be thrown out to starve
or to steal if the Niger" were abolished. He
is, in fact, great institution" and he must be
kept up to regulate the currency. Keep Cuffee
in the cotton field. We can't do without him.
Mr.. DICKINSON DEcLlsEs.--We publish to-day
q letter from Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, decli-
ming the invitation to lecture to the Abolition
Philosophical Society of Boston. And yet he
lectures them pretty roundly in his brief rcfn
sal of their generous offer to give him hearing
on the subject of slavery. Mr.. Dickinsons posi-
ton on this subject is SO smooth and easy that it
fits him like an old night cap. Why don't this
Boston committee apply to John Van Buren,?
REVIVAL OF THE EBONY LINE PRoJEcT-We
published yesterday an interesting commun;-
cation from Mr. Thomas N. Carr, formerly our
Consul at Tangiers, urging the establishment
Of line of steamers bet ween the United States
and Africa, as a commercial and philaathropic
speculation. This is substantially the old
project of George Sanders, of some years ago,
project, which at the instance of Mr.. Clay.
then President Of the American Liberian Co
lopization Society, was adopted by that socie-
ty and recommended to Congress But it
scarcely had hearing, and we presume that
the present mixed up House Of Representative
will have too many other fish to fry to attend
to the subject this session. One ebony steam

no great sacrifice should 1t fail; but If success
ul, it may open up prolific traffic with the
rich but unappropriated resources of Africa,
to say nothing Of the benevolent object of the
quick, cheap and comfortable transportation of
" free colored Americans to the thrifty color
ed republic Of Liberia. We turn over the
whole matter to the for theomi ing Naval Com
mittee Of the House.
