REVIVAL OF TIE SLAVE TRADE.

The New York Evening Post tells its reoders

his report, therefore, confined himself to this pre-.
hmiuary sto2, lilo questioned the policy Of enter

foreign power. and he was sure that the employ

ineilcacuus. Yet he dsclImcd the intention of
relaxing ia any degree the stiugcncy Of Our legs-

Having got rid of the treaty the next step will
be to get rid of the legislation which prohibits tho
trade. Various expedicnts will lie resurted to for
this purpose. 1t will be discovered that certain

SLAVE LABOR ON RAILROADS. s.-Free labor in the
construction of railways at the far South has been
entirely abandoned it being found that the Irish
and Germans are willing enough to work in winter
but nothing will induce them to remain during the
hot weather.
Slave labor has been therefore, universally
adopted, and large iroves Of negroes are raised
and kept expressly for that purpose. The current
rates for the hire of abe-bodied railway negroes
is SIS per month. II hired by the year they bring
Sl75 per annum and food and clothing the long
term being considered more advantageous to the
railway contractor.

PURE DEMOCRACY.

We commend the following precious morsel OF
unadulterated democracy to those poor white
laboring men who recently voted for James Bn-
chanan, and who are even yet making night
hideous with their outcres and rejoicngs over his
success The extract is from an Editorial cf the
New York Day Book one of the very few papers
in the city of New York that supported Buchanan
for the Presidency. Read the extract,and remem-
ber, that the Day Book is not discussing the ques
tion Of what ought to be done with negroes but
what provision should be made for poor aohHe
ople.-Perhaps some who think the ''niggers"
50 much better off who have good masters to take
care Of them, will fall in with the notion;- Free

THE MAsoNs OF THE REVOLUTION AND
THE MAS0NS OF TODAY ON THE
SLAVE TRADE.

The recent strenuous advocacy of the re opening
of the slave trade by the Richmond Enquirer, and
other leading Buchanan papers in Virginia,
naturally calls to mind the sentiments of that i'm
mortal patriot of the Old Dominion, George Mason
a member Of the Convention which framed the
constitution of the United States.
"This Internal traffic, "(the slave trade he said,
Originated in the avarice of British merchants.
The British government constantly eluded the at
tempts of Virginia to put stop to it. The present
question concerns not the importing States alone
but the whole Union. The evil of having slaves
was experienced during the last year. Had slaves
been treated they might have been treated by the
enemy they would have proved dangerous instru-
meats in their hands. But their folly dealt by the
slaves as it did by the tories.
