The Panama Railroad is noble enterprise, and
those who use it ought to pay literally aud cheer
fully therefor 1t may well seem that $2o is .
high charge for ride of two hours duration; but
why not pay it for getting through rough, diff
cult and sickly journey in two hours rather than In
two dsysl While travellers were compelled to
cross the Isthmus by way of the Chagres and the
mule path thence to Panama. at the risk Of robbery
and disease with the certainty Of severe exposure,
suffering and serious damage to apparel they did
not think $25 too high fare; and why should
they not willingly pay as much to be taken across
swiftly, comfortably, without fatigue, exposure,
risk or damage of any kind' We think they should,
ard believe they generally do. The Company has
dore all who travel that way signal service by
building the Railroad, and we think they should
be willing to pay for it.
The same principle applies 10 the transportation
of the Mails. Whatever was fair price for the
service before the Railroad was constructed Is
fair price now The fact that the Mails cross much
more easily and expeditiously is to be considered
after those through whose lavish outlay this result
has been obtained have been conpensated-not
before. We are opposed to any contract to pay
large sum annually for the transportation OF our
California Mails across the lsthmus, because we
object to sending them that way for even two years
longer. Let Congress establish an Overland Mail
route, protect it BY block.houses and patrols OF
drspooDs, ind commence carrying weekly mail
from Kansas to California with the opening Of
another Spring. A Railroad will gradually push
itself inland from either ocean until the two shall
meet in Utah. Let uscarry our own Mails through
our own country as soon as may be; but, so long
as We persist in using the Panama Road, let us pay
its stockholders the price per pound that they TO-
ctive from other Governments-their Own price.

The doctrines laid down by Judge Crawford Of
the Criminal Court of the District of Columbia, in
the case of the Member Of Congress charged with
the murder of waiter at hotel, is full of nstruc.

Qarded as the humber occupations-will do well.
to take it into serious consideration.
The doctrine laid down by Judge Crawford, and
the law of which he has made himself the spokes
man, may be characterized as Shareholders doctrine

self STAKEHOLDER in fact We are not aware. He
was originally from Pennsylvania, and when first
nsmi1 aed to his present Office was objected to AZ
Quaker and an AbOlitiOnist. But he has long since
fully relieved himself of any such imputatons. If
not a STAKEHOLDER in fact, he is q slavedriver at
heart-so far at least his heart is to be JUDGED Of
from his decisions on the bench. He held long ago
that to assist slave to escape was stealing. On
that ground he sent at least one person to the Pen
Tertiary, and would have sent others, had not some
Boston gentlemen stepped in between him and bis
victims aud procured his rulings on that point 10

1t is customary, natural aud perhaps Necessary
pert of the AavedriyiDg system, that the driver
should 60 aimed-should carry pistol or bowie
knife in his pocket, to enforce his commands, and
to punish all audacious resistance, and especially
all insolent demeanOr. 1t is part of the law of
Slavery, that anything abort of instant and implicit
obedience, anything in the way Of explanation
ard especially Of remonstrance, may be regarded
and treated as "insolence," and chastised with
words or blows, at the option Of the person thu,
insolently answered. 1t is a part of the law of
Slavery that the servant thus chastised for his in
science, has no right to make any reply retort or
Resistance, and in particular that to raise hi, hand
10 strike blow. or even to ward one of, may be
forthwith punished by the instant shooting or stab

FROM WASHING TON.
THE SLAUGHTER AT WILLARD'S.
From Our Special Correspondent.


WASHINGTON, May II, 1856.
South of Mason and Dixon's line, society 10 d.
vided into two classes, the gentlemen and the
meDias. The Staying of cOlOred servant, or an
Irish servant by one of the upper class, is regarded
as sn unfortunate affair, but an excusable oense.
However cnPable the individual, the tragedy at
Willards is rather chareeabe to the state Of sOcie
ty created by Slavery than to him. The paternity
of the crime, as we'll as the character Of the man
who committed it, belongs to Slave society.
Blame the institution that engenders such Ofenses
rather than the individual who commits them.
The weight Of the responsibility rests on the sOcie-
ty that toerates an institution which teaches the
qualification Instead of the control of the passions.
The feeling of its own members that this Is so, eX-
hibits itself in the universal desire in such cases to
acquit the offender. Within that ruling class 10
which he belongs nobody thinks of the crime, or
wishes to see it avenged. The only inquiry or
effort on their part in the case is how best to secure
escape from the legal responsibility of the act.
society which defends and sustains Slavery will not
allow one of the railing class to suffer for the kill
ing of an underling where the least provocaton to
the act can be shown.
In this particular case to which we refer, the
man whose life has been taken Is an Irish labOrer.
The class TO which he belongs numbers in this
country about half million Of voters. These
men WILL almost without exception go to the polls
at the next election, and vote to extend system
which degrades them to the condition Of serts
wherever it prevails. and under which they can be
slan with impunity. Thus unintelligently do they
regard their own vital interests. J. 81 r.

which Judge Crawford seeks 70 intsoGpce into tn
administration of the Washington hotels withou
making any distinction az to the fast whether tn
attendants 1t those hotels are black q white bond
or free.
Our lAboriDg people at the North may see in
these rulings Of Judge Crawford, the natural con-
sequence Of the ascendancy which slaveholding
and slavedrvipg have already obtained in our poll
tics, ard which the party calling itself Democratic
is seeking 20 eagerly to extend and perpetuate.
Here we see how those Iaboring men who give the
aid of their votes to help strengthen the ssvehOld
ing system, are doing all they can to make slaves
of themselves. The slavedriving law to which
Judge Crawford sets the example Of subjecting the
white menials of Washington, will, if the slave
holders continue to carry the day, soon find Judicial
patronage and PRONUNCIATION in Philadelphia and in
New York as well as in Washington.
The Richmond Enquirer, leading organ of cur
present savedrivipg Democracy, hopes, expects and
believes, 30 It states in recent number "that Con-
"servative men everywhere are about to adopt the
"princpe that men should be governed let alone,
"and that each should be governed according to his
wants and moral and intellectual capacity The
same paper is of opinion, and so the slavedrivers
generally think that the wants and moral and in.
"tellectual capacity" fthe great aboring mass of
the community require them to be governed by the
cowbide and the pistol-while on the other hand,
it is very certain that neither the "moral nor the
"ntellectual capacity" likely to be developed un-
der the slavehodipg system, is at all of caliber to
qualify employers for, or to induce them to,
the use of any other means. If we will
have q slaveholding ascendarcy, If we will
extend Slavery into new territories, II, di.
vesting it Of its purely local character, we
will elevate it to the dignity Of national law-and
that is what the Shareholders are aiming at and de-
mandiDg-if we will make devOtedness to this
institution and activity in the support of all its
claims the first test of qualification for Federal
Office; If the people Of the United States-the free
people Of the Free States-will thus take Slavery
to their bOsoms, they must be prepared to take it
with all it's consequences, After cherishing the
viper into life and action, it will be too late to CON-
plain that it bites us. II we will have slave
holding ascendancy, we must be content to take its
