The fifth anniversary Of the Columbian Literary
Club was celebrated at the Chapel of the NewYork
University last evening in the presence Of largo
audience Of ladies and gentlemen. The exercises were
opened with the Presidential address by Joseph q.
Harrison, and continued in the following orders
Poem" The six old Bachelors" by Philip II.
Bovine; Essay on Fiction, by George w. Boyd;
Poem" dream Of youth" by William L. Keese;
Essay" Let be practical" by Edward c. Cooper.
The productions of the several members OF the Club
who took part in the exercises were In literary
point Of view very clever, but the delivery Of them
as general thing was bad, and it war with difficulty
that some OF the speakers could be heard throughout
the hall. The difficulty Of hearing might, PERHAPS IN
a measure be accounted for by the continued loud
whispering among the young Misses and their gay
Lothsros in the galleries and body OF the chapel.

questions of Thursday, 10 show who this Lane Is

original draft confded to Col. Lane in Kansas,
which he prayed the Senate to receive
Mr.. DOUGLAS trusted the petition would be re-
jected. He complained that the Memorial had
been materially sltered-that the most objections
Ole messages in the original draft had been omitted
from the revised Memorial.
Mr.. WADE condemned this as peitiiogglng oun-
ness, and warmly urged the reception OF petition
and Memorial. He elOquently portrayed the
wrongs Of the people of Kansas, and aVo~ed MS

From Our Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, April Is, 1856.
No dispatches from Mr.. Dallas were received
BY the steamer Washington, but some are expected
in the Cambria.
Private accounts assure the Government of
decided change of opinion in England toward the
United States, shared partially by the Ministry.
The Government has reason TO anticipate, in
week or ten days, an answer to Mr.. Marcy's dis
patch requesting the recall of Mr.. Champion, and
to suppose it will contain concessions, though not
fully up to the demands made. This reply was
prepared under Lord Palmerstons supervision, and
will be forwarded to Paris for Lord Clarendon's
signature. if the Peace Conference should not have
adjourned. These overtures may produce hesta
ton ard division here, but it is doubtful if the
Administration will abandon the position they have
taken.
Robes. the new Mexican Minister, conferred
with the Secretary of State to-day, and will be
presented to the President tomorrow or Thursday
Mr.. Vanderbt's new appeal has not been at

but is held under deliberaton for the development
of new facts.
There is some probability that the French and
British Governments may interpOse against Walker

SLAVERY OF THE WHITE RACE.

Special CoKespsHdenee Of The ~ Y. Tribone
WASHINGTON, April 10, 1856.
A walk on the street in Washington is one Of the
best and most touching commentaries on the system
of Slavery. mans eyes are only needed to carry
to his mind the conviction of the servitude it en-
tails upon the descendants of the whites them
selves. Northern people are too apt in thinking OF
Slavery to picture it to their minds simply as the
unhappy condition of the black race. But this is
not the Slavery Of the United States nor of Wash
iDgtOn. The yoke Of Slavery rests on white as
well as black. From the nulatto to the individual
having so small tincture OF black blood that ne or
she cannot be distinguished from the pure white,
Slavery holds all in equal subsection
1t results from this, that there is class of slaves
IN all respects equal and in many cases superior,
TO the brutal master or mistress who owns and con-
trolls them. A survey of the attire, manner and
expression Of the lighter shades Of the coored peo-
pie who throng Pennsylvania avenue OF Sunday
afternoon demonstrates them 10 be a race scarcely
inferior TO the average Of the white race on this
continent and superior to the average of the immi-
grants from the Old World. Yet this class COM
prises, according to the census, one tenth-and
probably, according to the fact, one eighth-Of all
the slaves in the United States. To Northern peo-
pie, who are just now becoming famiarzed with
the considerations going to show how suitable
condition Slavery is for the blacks it is not amlss
to suggest the direction of their thoughts to the
slavery of the whites that inevitably accompanies it.
Along with the pure blacks side by side, stani the
mulatto, the quadroop the tenth part the twentieth
part black, the absolutely undstinguishabe from
the white, all chained alike to the same inexOrabe
and soul-breaking sOrrows Of servitude. To the
eye of humanity that can endure with tolerable
cOmpacency the evils of Slavery for the unlettered
and degraded son of Ham, such spectacle as this
is sickening and appalling.
1t is known that school for cOlOred children
has recently been opened in this city gentleman
from the North lately visited it. His surprise was
great to find white children iDtermiDgled with the
colored, and asked the teacher how it happened
that here, where the preudices against such ANAL
camation were so marked, such an infusion of
whites among the cOlored should be possible!
The teacher replied, "Sr, though neither you
"nor any ether person might be able from personal
examination to detect any traces OF negro blood
Gin those children, it is yet there, and thus they
care here
Thus heavily upon the white race does Slavery
rest. . = T.
