groaned audibly, aud at tho residence of Mr..

repeated cheers. The morning was cold and
tempestuous, the deep snow and driving blast

Nevertheless, the turn-ont was unexpectedly
large, and the spirit which animated the en-

Arrived at the depot, Messrs Booth and
Ryecrait, III obedience to the call of the null

iuted with three laundering cheers, and briefly
expressed their acknowledgements to their fel-

adoption of either measure recommended BY

1t has been said that no man can serve two
masters but the sense must not be taken liter
ally, since every nation which is ruled by an
oligarchy furnishes standing contradiction
of the maxim. The meaning is, doubtless, Of
masters whose characters and principles are
wholly diverse; in which sense the proposition
is true But where they are thoroughly uni
ted in the determination to rule at every haz-
ard, they cease to be many aud become a
formidable unit. Such is the slavoholding
oligarchy of the United States. Whatever
else they may differ about, they never differ
when the interest Of Slavery is involved, or
their divine right to rule the country brought
! in question.
Awaiting ourselves of the slavehoding sta
tistios, which, though suppressed in the pub
LEGATION of the Census, have just been given
to the world in a smaller work by the present
Superintendent; we proceed to show as nearly
as practicable, the number of what may be
regarded as the nobility, or ruling power OF
the South and the country. 1t will be seen
that there is striking analogy between it and
the aristocracy of the other great slavcholding
haton OF the world-ltussa-though the
Russian arIstocracy consists Of fourteen classes,
while our shareholders are divided into eleven
only. The lowest class Of MOBILES in Russia is
distinguished by not being liable to corporeal
hogging, while the lowest class of mobiles in
the Model Republic, superior to the Russian
in its privileges, has for its distinction the
right to fog one niger, that being the number
Of his fellow country-men belonging to each
member of this class. The ten higher classes
are composed RESPECTIVELY of those who own
FIVE, those who own five and under ten, ten
and under twenty and so on to those who own
one thousand and over. Taking these figures
from the compendium and placing them in Il
column, we have deduced two other columns
from them the first is the average number Of
slaves owned by those who own one and under
five, five and under ten, and so on. The Sec
ond shows the aggregate number Of slaves
owned by each class -

JUDICIAL BE1NDNEss. Gen. Cass, in bis lame
and aimsy defence of himself for disobeying the
instructions of the Legislature of his State, says
he fears the people " will be struck with Judicial
blindness" If he and his fellow apostates from
Democracy, and even the common principles of
American Liberty, had not long ago been struck
with judicial blindness, they would not now be
found standing before the country in such pit
liable position.

Graad TJtal,

1t will be seen that the aggregate number
of slaves arrived at in this way is 1928 ,4l2
whereas according to the census there were
only 3,204,3l3. The error Of our estimate
is, therefore, $4,000. But the Supernten-
dent states it note to the table, that "were
the party owns slaves in different counties, or
in different States, he will be entered more
than once. This will disturb the calculation
very little, being only the case among the
larger properties, and it will account for the
fact that smaller number Of such properties
are reported in some Of the States than are
know to exist, particularly in South Carolina,
Virginia, and louisiana" The number Of
large Shareholders is therefore smaller than the
table shows, and our error may be apporton-
ed equally among all classes.
No one with little knowledge OF Southern
society, will doubt that thousands Of slave
holders own slaves in different counties or
States, and are consequently numbered two or
three tines in this clumsy report. After max
ing all due allowance for these circumstances,
it will be seen that about one-fourth of the
shareholders own three-fourths of the slaves,
and may therefore be regarded as the real de-
positors of power in the United States.
1t will be seen from the above that the num-
Dor, 92,267 shareholders, owning about three
fourths of the slaves, is too large, by some
thousands who arc counted twice or oftener.
But it also embraces many thousands more Of
widows and orphans who exercise no political
influence and on the whole, we may set it
down that our masters number not moro than
eighty thousand, equal perhaps to half the
population of Brooklyn.
The mass of small shareholders partake of
the feelings and views OF their superiors, but
they would never aspire to the control of the
Federal Government if left to themselves
They arc, in all matters affecting the interests
of slavery, under the guidance Of those who
own gangs of fifticS and hundreds, in which
they differ not a great deal from their north
ern allies, the doughfaces.
