PROPIECY-GOOD TIMES COMING
ENGLAND'S SOUND SENSE.

The human mind will eventually yield to ths evi
deuce furnished by experience especially when self
interest will be promoted by thus a-sentiug, and
science aud religion oppose 10 barriers 10 the new
conviction.
Bearing this simple proposition in mind, and look.
ing to the history of African slavery, and negro
emancipation for the last thirty years, if the reader
will follow us We will convince him that soon very
soon, the civilized world will favor the continuance
and extension Of Southern social Institutions.
Some thirty years ago, England began, with her
apprenticeship system, to prepare her West India
negroes inr emancipation. Atributing the inlure of
81. Domingo emancipation 10 want OF previous pre-
paration. her phllnnthropsts sure tha by pre-.
pairing the negroes for liberty, they would use pro-
pery, no. abuse it. Most of the calculating selfish
and practical men Of England, thought it would suc.
ceed in another sense-that is, European enIarci
patton had succeeded, by making the emancipated
slaves to capital, rendering their labor cheaper and
compelling them to work harder after liberation, to
gain subsistence, than before aud increasing there
by the wealth of the landholdcrs and the prlce OF
their lands. In this sense the liberation OF tie west
ern European seris had been enneniiy successful
The serfs had everywhere. been injured by einhhcl
patton, and the masters enriched.
Free labor was decidedly cheaper in Europe than
the old vilen labor or than the negro slave labor OF
America. Competition among the laoorers 10 get
ernloyment reduced them TO the necessity OF work
ing for wages far less than the allowance any master
dare give his slaves. The cool, calculating English.
man felt q most approving conscience, because he
thought he was about to drive as good bargain
with the negro, as he had made with the Anglo-Sax
on vilien The feeling of self-rigbteousness never
comes strongly over sgenune Yankee or an English
man. except after making good bargain, and cheat
ing his ne;ghbor.
But negroes are not Anglo SaSons, and Jumaca is
not England. The calculation was made insult
cien aud false premises. The negro, by nature ndo.

BOTTS AND THE PENNSYLVANIA ELEC-
Uf0N

TION.
The Fillmore men of this city have betrayed the
most active and intense sympathy with the Fusion
party since the election in Pennsylvania. During
the last two days it has been pnsvely painful to
witness the agony of their suspense. From early
morning Till midnight they congregated round the bull
letn boards; and as the intelligence haterng or
crushing to their hopes so they ndulged low
chuckle of delight or betrayed their disappointment
in moody looks and muttered curses. The brute per-
son of Bolts conspicuous in the crowd; and by
his voice the Tail raised from the depths Of de.
spair, even as the hosts OF Pandenonium were in.
spired with courage by Satan's eShortations. A pr.
vate dispatch from Harrisburg from the head quar-
ters and perhaps from the hegd-devil OF Frenonsm
in Pennsylvania, conveyed to the "lmmcrtal" graft
flying assurances Of Black Republican success in
the keystone State Nobody could Attest the sutlen-
ticity of the report. Perhaps it only hint to
hedge and was s-ct for Bolts special accomnoda-
tion But it serre@ more general and u more be
neGcent use. jig Of Stearns II Brummels best
could mt have had go .sppy effect on the spirits of
the Tail In those few words the Tail discovered IL
promise of deliverance from Locofoco rule p:,nse
of power, promise of plunder, and promise that
GOOD time coming which Bolts anticipates under an
administration of Fremont. In - ecstacy of the
moment an individual of impati2-:- appetite was oh
served surveying the Custom IiNlise with eager
eve and radiant counenance.
Sad and sudden was the fall from this bright emi.
nence of hope and JOY when the Tail discovered the
falsity of Bolts private dispatch. Precipitae was
the fight of the "Immortal' himself when the tale
graph smote him with its shocking realities and
piercing was his cry as he exclaimed:
Farewell, happy fields,
'wherc joy forever dwclls: hail horror1, hail
"nfcin world; and thou protoundest hell
Receive thy new possersor.'
Theheart must indeed be hard that has no sympathy
with Botts in the extremity of his sorrows, and 10
pity for his abect condition. Family, friends, State,
country character honor, all staked on the tnrn
Of card-aud were lost. The issue OF the canvass i'll
Pennsylvania on which, by common consent, depends
the result of the Presidential eectionn, falls
upon Bolts with crushing and anniliaiing pow
er. moment since his little barque glided
gaily in the gentle current; now he finds him
self suspended over the bottomless abyss, with
no hope of rescue. Visions of place and power
and plunder danced before his dazzled eye in all the
seductive graces with which they captivae the ambl-
