"If you who manage affairs will give our re-
quest your consideration, we will retain the
sense of the favor; but the prohibitions of our
country are still existent, and if this matter
should become known, we should uselessly see
ourselves pursued and brought back for imme-
date execution, without fail and such result
would greatly grieve the deep humanity and
kindness you all bear towards others. If you
are willing to accede to the request keep wra :
ped in silence our error in making it until you
are about to leave, in order to avoid all risks
of such serious danger to life; for when, by
and by, we come back, our countrymen will
never think it worth while to investigate by-gone
doings. Although our words have only loosely
let our thoughts leak out, yet truly they are
sincere; and, if your excellencies are pleased
to regard them kindly " 90 not doubt them or
spects in handing this in"
1t is hardly necessary to add, that the request
was denied by the Commodore.

position OF even assumed liability to censure on
this score. MOI Silas Wright never betrayed
the interests OF his constituents, never turned a
deaf ear to the instructions of those he repre-
sented. de was man whom no sophistry
could mislead, no Establishments seduce, no
threats intimidate, into sacrifice of his own
convictions of duty, or the interests of that De-
mocracy OF whom he was at once the idol, and
OF whose principles the noblest representative
ever sent to guard their interests at the Nation
al Capitol. To the election of Southern can
didate for the Presidency, he sacrificed himself,
because in so doing he hoped to insure the sue
cess of Democratic principles but he never
sacrificed the interests of his constituents either
through I" fear, favor, affection, or the hope of
reward" To place him, therefore, in the same
category with the Pierces, Dodges, Shannons,
OF I'd omne genus, of the present day, is height
OF absurdity and weakness to which none could
approximate, save the Washington Union. To
speak of Silas Wright in this connection, tout
of whose brain could have been carved half
dozen Presidents of the modern standard, with
enough left from the parings to have constitu-
ted as many editors of the Union, with more
sense and discretion than those who now fill its
leaden columns,) evinces an assurance which
none could manifest, save he who ranks
Northern freeman in the same class with
Southern slave, and whose subserviency to the
will of his masters is only equalled by that of
the hounds who whine over the offals which the
huntsman is pleased to throw to them.
There are persons, unfortunately too many
of them, to whom our remarks are applicable,
and in whose behalf it becomes the Union to
claim Southern sympathy and Governmental
protection. Silas Wright never belonged to
that class; and he has not few disciples left,
within the State of New York, who spurn, as
he would if living, the arrogant attempts to die
tate to them what they shall say and how shape
their endeavors to bring back the Government
to the advocacy and practice of true Jefferso-
nian principles

Suppose, then, that the South throw her entire
votes, l20, for Pierce, does that elect him? He
must have 20 electoral votes, also, from the free
States. Where will he get them? Certainly.
he will get none in the West The Kansas
| scoundrelism has absolutely annihilated his
chances there. In Pennsylvania, his removal
of Gov. Reeder has blasted his chances forever.
In New York, his own party is hopelessly di.

ter. The 20 votes, needed to elect him, cannot
be had.
But not only cannot Pierce get tho necessary
% votes in the free States, but he cannot get
| anything like the entire South. This the recent
State and Congressional elections corclusively
| show. Nowhere is the opposition to the present
Administration more unrelenting than in Ten.
| nessee, Kentucky, Delaware, and Missouri
This is owing not to Pierce's course on the
Slavery question, but to his prescription of all
the Union men of those States, and his bestow
ing all the patronage Of the Government on the
JEFF. Davises, Atchisons, and other disunionists
The result is seen in the election of almost en-.
| tire anti-Pierce Congressional delegations from
all those States, thus rendering his election by
the next House of Representatives a political
impossibility.
Against Northern Republican candidate, he
might possibly carry the whole South. But his
opponents in the South will give him no such
advantage. Southern man will be run agains,
him, with moral certainty of carrying at least
half the Southern States With such men as
Sam Houston, John Bell, Thomas II. Benton
John j. Crittenden, and host of other strong
men, all of whom regard the present Admins
tration and everybody connected with it with
unmitigated contempt, Pierce and his small
beer" followers may consider themselves lucky
if they succeed in carrying half the slave States
In our judgment, they will not be able to do it.
Should Pierce be candidate, there must be
two other candidates in the feld-in the North
Republican, and in the South an American
Southerner. This will probably secure the cleo
ton of the Republican candidate, and certainly
prevent the election of a man who has done
more to bring the name of Democracy and Re-
publicanism into contempt, the world over, than
all the traitors to American liberty who ever
betrayed a trust or bowed the knee to the de-
mon of Human Slavery. OF course, many
things may happen, before the next Presiden-
tial election, to change the relations of men and
parties.-Independsnt IN H. Democrat.

THE PROSPECTS OF SLAVERY
TO the Editor Of the N. ?. Tribune:

TO the Editor o the N. ?. Tribune:
SIR: Having examined the article signed
Fair Play" from correspondent, dated
Charleston, Aug. FL, 1855, allow me to exhibit
in your columns the following results of the
census returns of the United States from 1900
to 1850, they being conclusive evidence of the
relative growth of different sections of the
Union:
Total population of the Free States 1854, COG
Total population of the Slave States 2,62I, 3l6
Excess in Free States in 1900 63,293
Total population of the Free States 1851, 445
Total population of the Slave States 1861, 1863
Excess in Free States in 1910 I35,O76
1870
Total population of the Free States 5,l52,3l4
Total population Of the Slave States 4,485,Sl7
Excess in Free States in 1920 666,497
1890
Total population of the Free States 6,995, 627
Total population of the Slave States 5,87l, 293
Excess in Free States in 1880 1924, 1884
1910
Total population of the Free States $780, 1876
Total population of the Slave States 1882, 43l
Excess in Free States in 1910 1891, 7e4
1850
Total population of the Free States 1858, 900
Total population of the Slave States 9,658,232
Excess in Free States in 1850 3,92s,s37
When the slave population of 1850, amount
ing to 3, 98, 298, is deducted from the aggregate
population of the Slave States, it shows the fol-
lowing results:
Total number of freemen in the Free
States 13,589,069
Total number offreemen in the Slave
States 6,45s,934
Excess of feemen in non-slave-
holding States 1921
According to the same ratio of increase,
there will be in the United States in 1860:
Total population of the Free States 1883, 834
Total population Of the Slave States l2,555,7O
Excess in Free States in 1860 5,9s4,l33
of which 12,555,70l in the Southern States.
4,l57,787 will be slaves; leaving only 1897 ,9l4
freemen in the slaveholding States, against
1883, 1874 in the non-slaveholding or Northern
States.
The above estimate of proportionate increase
in the non-slaveholding States, if carried for
ward to 1900 shows the following stratling re-
suits:
Total population of the Free States 62,sl5,476
Total population of the Slave States 36,080,030
The slave population, at the same ratio of in
crease as heretofore, will then amount to
ll,S75,052, making grand total of Ss,595,5l2
inhabitants. Yours truly, j. d.
Nec York, Aug. 90, 1855.
