English Lahorers and American Slaves,


sRtv. Henry Caswell, an English clergy man.
visited this country last year. and has lately
Published in Eng and book descriptive of his
tour Speaking Of the condition of the slaves
In our southern States, he says:
"The difference in point Of comfort between
a negro cabin in Kentucky and the cottage of
Wiltshire or Dorsetshire laborsr, is not so
great as philanthropic Euglishmsn. might
wish. have seen negroes sleeping on the
floor around the FIRE. with their feet convsrg.
ing towards the glowing embers OF. the hearth
In my own parish know OF cottages in which
more than dozen persons Of both sexes spend
he night in one wretched and confined apart
mens,in a manner revolving to our ideas OF
Common deconcy.
alt is a question worthy Of The cosnbined H.
vestigatlcn Of divlnes and legislators, how The
English laborer may be elevsled In the scale Of
humanity But such question must be left
to Englishmen slone. for they alone are com
petent to deal with il. So the main hope of
the American negro. under Providence, must
DC IN movement originating in the Slave
States themselves. No missives from a-isto.
cratic ladies in London, no abolition societies
IN the free States Of America are likely to pro
duce any effect beyond that of irritation -

the upcO,siitnticnslity Of such bill had beer
agItated, and he was cieasd TO learn wha,
clause Il y as in The constitution that this bill
was not in harmony with. He had read that
clause and he could not perceive in whatpsItic-
uiar u was rcpugnant to the constitution, No
man would dispute that the injuries. the
wrongs and the evils that had resulted from the
use Of intoxicating liquors far exceled those
o. an other evils that ever infested our land -
BE was emphatically In favor Of the bill, and
ne must be privileged 10 record bis vote for IT,,
Mr. Samuels desired to know IL the friends
Of this bill intended to push II 10 final vote
this siteinoon. He had some authority he
wished 10 introduce, and few remarks he
wished to make. and he wonld like time 10
procure that authority.
NJ. Wiitcr said il was not the original in
tenticn Of the friends OF the bill to have i,
brought before the housefR this manner, until
u had been discussed section By section, but
since il had been brought up 90 4 motion to
strike out all after the enacting clause, he hard
ly knew what The intentions of the members
were. He wished TO say few words upon The
bis political predictions pointed him out a.
member. For years il has been rem ar ked tina,
democracy and iBtemperance were synopon Gus
terms, but he would repel such an insinuation
as false and unjust, aud be called on members
OF The patty that was in the minority in ,be !
House 10 asslstin repelling such an assertion
by their arguments and their votes.
The Bill 1t Is said is Unconstitutional, and |
ne had Teen surprised at thekaowcdge Of men
upon constitutional law, when they had never |
read the constitution through. II was harping
upon an old string, which was about worn out.
and was only equal 10 age and shallowness TO
The idea that the AsI embiy were legislaling in
advance OF public opinion. He considered
hem both as OF bat little weight, for the lea.
son that such positions were false and conse-
Qqently wereha,mless
eni gentlemen, when the committee rose, and |
obtained leave to sit again tomorrow after.
noon al 2 O'clock.
On motion, House adjourned.

Il will live Forever.

We sometimes hear men assers
that democracy is dead, that the par
ty is dissolved, and will no nlorewield
an influence 10 the country. The
very thougt is absurd. Democracy
has been discovered and adopted as
a system ofgcyernment, aud We would
trembls to think it would die before
the world expires. Will the wondsr-
.rul inventions, and useful discoveries
Of the age iu which we live, parish
and be forgottenS Surely not while,
the world stands. Man is creature
of progress, and will improve in self
government as well as in anything
else. The organizations, established
by bigo!ry, ianatieism, infolerancs
and superstition that would bind men
in chains rather .han teach them to,
govern themselves by the law of
Heaven may and will die, yet VIII
Democracy always live, aad it viii
always flourish. The .delinitien cf
this word, as given by Webster, is,a
form of goverumenti in which the su-
Ipreme power is lodged in the hands
Of The people collectively, or in which
the people exercise the powers Of
legislation" A system of law ma.
king in which this principle
finds root cannot but abide. Thrones
may totter, crowns crumble, empires
fah, but Republic, with Democracy
as lamp TO its feet, will with msjes.
| tic step move onward in its course
and defy all obstacles.
