merely request to those who represent us in
Congress, and its only object was to elicit an
expression of legislative opinion, and thereby
to strengthen the hands of the venerable Sena-
tor from Michigan who already has this subject
in charge. Gen. CAss has Iabored faithfully
to accomplish his purpose, and deserves to be
sustained by the passage of just such resolu-
tion as this, in every State Legislature. We
do not doubt that he will ultimately be sue
cessiul, and that the day win soon arrive when
no treaty win be negotiated with foreign
government without the insertion of a stipula
tion which win fully secure the rights to
which we have alluded. Our only regret is,
that upon the journals of Pennsylvania
House Of Representatives will be found recor-
ded, for all time, the vote of a majority against
the passage of a joint resolution which aimed
at the adoption of a policy so much to be COM
mended, and SO perfectly in unison with the
impulses of every truly patriotic heart.

The plurality resolution was then adopted
by vote of ll3 yeas to l04 nays. The an

WHITE AND BLACK LABOR AND s1.vppv

The advocates of Slavery as a blessing. or
natural necessity of society, are sometimes 70.
duced to strange arguments, revolving TO opr
idea, that all Labor is honorable. One Of ,ho.
latest phases OF this advocacy is that saH La
boring Men oHght TO te Slares,' and it is deyel
oped in the Richmond Enquirer, the most in
fiuential administration paper of the Union.
and long the organ of the Junto. under tbo
venerable Mr.. Ritchie. We invite the atten-
ton of the free laborers of the North and
West--those who have increased so wonderful
~ the resources of our country-te the follow
ing argument of the Enquirer, to show that the
principle of Slavery does not depend upon diff.
ference of complexion. Read it, and then ask
yourselves how you like this new indication
OF the workings of Democracy, which will
make the owners of farms and plantations tho
aristocracy of our country, and all who labor
their ser!s, vassals and slavesI Workinpmen
of Pennsylvania, how do you like thi. new
democratic doctrine, as announced by the
Richmond Enquirer
'EUntil recently, the defence of slavery has
lahored under great difficulties, because its a.
pologlStS, Qor they were mere apoIogistsN
took halfway grounds. They confined the de-
fence Of slavery to mere negro slavery; there
by giving up the slavery principle, admitting
other forms of slavery to be wrong. and Weld
ing up the authority of the Bible, and of the
history, practices. and experience of mankind
Human experience, showing the unieersaE suc-
cess q siage society, and the unirer,aI failure of
Tee society, was unavailable to them, because
they were preclnded from employing it, by ad-
hitting slavery in the abstract to be wrong
The defence of mere negro slavery involved
them in still greater difficulty. The laws of
all the Southern States justified the holding
achtfs Tien in slavery, provided, through tho
mother, they were descended. however remote
ly. from negro slave. The bright mulattoe,
according to their theory, were wrongfuly held
in slavery. The line of defence, however, is
now changed, and the North is now complete
ly corncred and dumb as an oyster. The South
now maintains that siauery is right natural and
necessary. 1t shows that all divine and almost
all human authority, justifes it. The South
further charges that the little experiment of
free society in Western Europe has been from
the beginning, q crael failure, and that s,rur =
toms Of failure are abundant in our North.
While it is far more obvious that negroes
should be slaves than whites, for they are on
iy tit to labor, not TO direct; yet The principle
Of stacery is fSelf right, and does MOI depend on
difference Of complication. Difference of race.
lineage, of language, of habits and customs
all tend to render the institution more natural
and durable; and altho' slares have been gener
ally ,chites, still the masters and slaves have
generally been of different national descent.
u loses and Aristotle, the earliest historians
are both authorities in favor of this difference
Of race, but not of color.''

TIE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA
Publication Fund.-The Hfstrrical Society
of this Commonwealth, whose exertions have
been for many years directed to the collection
OF important matters in the local and general
history of our State, have adopted meas
ures to prescrve ina durable form the results
of their researches, and to present them, from
time 10 time, to the public. Acting upon the
suggestion Of The venerable Charles Mincr-an
able, Jealous and successful investigator of
Pennsylvania history-the Society has organ
lied a Publication Fund, to be composed Of
subscriptions Of twenty dollars each, from per-
sons in any part Of the State, on payment of
which, the subscriber is entitled TO receive a
copy of all the publications of the Society du-
ring his or her life. There is no State in the
Union, whose local history possesses more va
ried interest and valuable information than
our own; and no where can more correct re-
cord of il be found than in the annals of the
Historical Society. y laudable pride in tho
progress and growth of Pennsylvania, and
desire 10 have her annals correctly transmitted
to posterity. should prompt every citizen in
the State TO second the endeavors of the Soci-
ETY.. The Publication Fund already amounts
to nine thousand dollars, and is rapidly in
creasing; and the first work-the ssHistory OF
Braddocl's Expcdition'-now issued, has met
with the most fattcrng success. The object
Of the Society is to obtain not only the history
of the State at large, but that of every county
in il, so that those who thus become subscri-
bers to the Publication Fund, will receive, at
a very cheap rate, complete compendium of
all remarkable biographical and genealogical
facts, both of general and local interest. This
measure is one worthy of support, and we hope
many viii be found in our own county, TO aid
in an enterprise which cannot fail TO be pro-
ductiye of great usefulness. Letters contain
ing subscriptions may be addressed TO tho
g Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadcl-
phia.''

LATEST FROM Halifax, Jan. 81
The Cunard steamship Arabia, from Liverpool
with dates TO the morning of Saturday the
10Th ult., arrived at 9'ocloci so minutes this
evening, bringing 107 passengers. The news
is important indicative of an early peace
The Vienna correspondent OF the Lon. Times,
telegraphs under date Of Wednesday, the 10Th,
10 a. NJ, that Russia has Internationally &C
cepted the propositions of the Allies This is
reported authentic. The news caused an i'm
mense sensation. The funds rose three per
cent. Cotton farthing, and panic ensued in
the other markets. The next day the English
Government published despatch from Minis
ter Seymour, at St. Petersburg, as follows =
S'Russia agrees to accept the proposals as
basis of negotiations This qualified an
nouncement calmed the excitement, and the
alarmists begin to fear that Russia merely
wants to gain time by deceptive negotiations.
Meantime the funds remain steady, as previous
TO the above announcement. The Vienna pa
pers represent affairs as most serious and alar-
ming, and that all the personnel of the Austri-
an Embassy was ordered to quit St. Petersburg
and the Russian TO leave Vienna. During
the week elapsing between Russias irst and
second reply, intense apprehension existed at
Vienna, but on the 10th, these apprehensions
subsidized by the announcement above stated,
that Russia agrees to negotiate on the terms
proposed. There is nothing OF importance
from the Crimea. The actual facts are that
Count Nesselrode upon being handed the Aus
trian and Allied note, was informed by Count
Esterhazy that he was not authorized to enter
into discussion, but if the note was not accent
ed unconditionally, before the 18th, he, and
all the Austrian Embassy, must leave Peters
burg. To prevent this, NesseIEodc commune
Gated with Vienna direct, and Prince Gortsch-
akon, at Vienna, had talk with Count Boul.
in which the former produced a memorandum
expressing the general inclination Of Russia to
negotiate, but proposing certain alterations-
Count Boul received the document, but mas
much as it did not contain an unconditional
acceptance Of the propositions, Austria could
not reply without the concurrence Of France
and England. The Ambassadors Of those pow
ers accordingly sent to London and Paris, and
received in reply that the Western Powers
had no motive to change their decision, alrea-
dy carefully considered, and further, that if
Russia did not accept by the 18th, Count Es-
terhazy and the Austrian Legation would leave
Petersburg, and Austria seel, to obtained the |
armed cooperation of the German Diet.
