The N. Y. Tribune, which has been "a
nous for its violent opposition 10 tile A.
merican party, in late number comes out
against foreigners. in this wise. What
does il mean?
Is it not sickening, then, to hear this
boastly bawling about the violation Of their
rights uttered by men who knew not the
value Of rights and never enjoyed any. un-
Ill they landed on American soil ? Is il
not disgusting, 10 hear men cavil at law,
legally and democratically enacted, who in
France or Germany, some short time since,
bowed with respectful humility before each
petty officer Of police, and submitted daily,
in quiet and meekness, to each Commissa-
rie or Captain Of the squad /? 9
Az the whm Of any Of these undcrlngs
dressed in little brief authority, they CO d
be arrested and imprisoned. 70 such they
opened not only their pantries and cellars,
hut their private drawers and writing
desks, without murmur Of opposition. n.--
Their most intimate correspondence could
be seized and inquired in,o--their private
and family affairs becoming thus literally
investigated and divulged. The agent who
has the power to do all this acts not by vir.
tue of u law enacted by and in the name oI
the people, but through an order issued by
some superior officer. Such is the rea
condition Of personal rights on the Conti'
nen,; while tho Irish are perpetually assu'
ring us, through tho press and speeches
that the only right extended to them il
their own country is the right to starve.
Such is the true picture of what they
both submitted to in their fa.herhnd--bu

gees. Yet. forsooth, here their wrath /,
aroused, and their fury turned against tn,

Slavery and Commerce.

The following just observations are ta-
ken from the Richmond (Va-) Dispatch.
Hunts Merchants Magazine copies them,
and remarks, fright or wrong, there is
more truth than poetry in its statement :"
1.-The whole commerce ofthe world turns
upon the product of slave labor. What
would commerce be without cotton, sugar,
tobacco. rice and naval storesz All these
are the product of slave labor. 1t is set
tied fact that free labor cannot produce
them in sufficient quantity to supply the de-
mands of mankind. 1t has been said that
one free iaborer is equal to five slaves. If
this be SO, why has not free labor been en-
ployed in the above stapless 1t has been
attempted, in every case in which 1t has
follows its interests, and if free labor was
more valuable than slave, it would be en-
ployed this moment in the United States,
Cuba, and Brazil, which are all open to
free labor. And herein note the greater
liberality and self-reliant strength Of the
slave over the free States. The former
freely permit the Northern capitalists to
come in with his free labor and compete
with slave labor. The latter pass laws
prohibiting the Southern capitalists from
coming in with his slaves to compete with
Northern labor. Their prohibitory laws
are passed, because they are afraid of COM
petition; whereas the South in the face of
the pretense which has been handed down
from Wherefore to these times, that one
white laborer is equal to five slaves, throws
her doors wide open and invites the free
laborer to walk in and try his hand, and it
dare not come. What would become of
England, the arch-agitatator of abolition
ism, but for cotton, by the manufacture of
which she was grown fat and strong, while
she curses the system by which it is pro-
duced? By the way. will some one inform
us why English conscience has never suf-
fered as much from slavery in Brazil
as slavery in the United States?

his eyes as though he thoughthe might not

Francisco was a powerfully built man,
standing six feet and enc ma in hight.
and weighing 260 pounds. His muscular
system was extraordinarily developed, and
he had been known to shoulder with ease

woman of good size, and fair proportions,
he would take in his right hand, and hold
ing her out at arms length, would pass
around the room with er,and cary her up
and down stairs in that position. He would
take barrel of cider by the chimes, and
holding it to his mouth, would drink from
the bung, long and hearty draught with
out any apparent exertion.
Yet, with all his strength, he was very
peacefully disposed man, and never made
use of his power, except in case of necessi-
ty about his usual vocations, or in defence
the right. On occasions of outbreaks
at public gatherings, he was better at rush.

all the conservative authorities on the
ground. Although uneducated, he was a
man of strong natural sense, and of kind
amiable disposition. He was withal a
companionable man, and his anecdotes and
stories Of the war, of which he possessed a
rich fund, rendered him welcome guest
in the first families of the State. His in
dustrious and temperate habits, together
with his kind disposition, made him many
friends, and through their influence he was
appointed Sergeant-at arms of the Virgin
la house of Delegates, in which service he
died, in 1886, and was buried with militia
ry honors in the public burying- ground a.

"Be that as it may, the debt is honest,

Here the middle-aged gentlemen in pep
per-and-salt cashmere took out well

twenty dollar bill. Slocum balanced the
account, and handed to the middle aged
gentleman, in the seasonable wearing ap-
parel fifteen dollars, being the balance on
the boots.
The middle aged gentlemen left, while
Slocum went off in revery.

ional rights and liberties of the people oi
this State As will be perceived upon
looking into this measure, it is nothing
more nor less than bill to set the consti-
tuition at defiance, IN the notification of the
Fugitive Slave law The bill provides IN
behalf of fugitive slaves
1. That writ OF habeas corpus.
2. A trial by jury.
B. Fines for the arrest of persons as fu-
gitive slaves, who are not such.
4. A denial of the jails for the tempo
rary safe-keeping of fugitives.
5. An interdict against all public Off
GERS ofthe State assisting in the arrest and
restoration of fugitive slaves to their mas
tiers.
6. A similar interdict to the State mil.
itia.
2. Repeal of conflicting law.
s. Penalties to State officers who may
prefer obedience to the laws of Congress.
9. Expenses Of this new law provided
for.
10. The act to 60 into effect Immediately.
This is clean work, and if this bill be
passed, there Immediately arises conflict
between Congress and the State, and the
anti. slavery citation will receive the ex-
citing impetus of open and defiant nullif-
cation. Such an act is an appropriate ap-
pendix to the reelection of Seward, and is
practical development of his seditious and
disunion programme for future operations.
We shall see whether his followers in the
Legislature have or have not the hardihood
to carry out a measure so fraught with the
elements Of agitation, sedition, revolution,
fire and slaughter as this. Pass this bill,
and every man may as well resolve at once
whether he is for the Northern or the
Southern Confederacy, for it must speedily
ripen into secession and disunion. We
shall watch the fate OF this new and most
impudent scheme of notification with the
deepest interest. 1t is the test question:
