The difference in the quality labor is most evident
in those departments requiring skill. Ohio by me.
chaucGl labor adds tventy-eght millions to raw
materials in the process Of her manufactures. Kentucky
only twelve millions.
One of the most obvious reeults has been that
grest difference exists in these States in the of
surpluses property remaining after paying the cost
OF production, and constituting the capital wealth
OF the country. The total value of property Of a kinds
belonging to persons in Ohio is s5o4, 100, and in
Kentucky s30l ,62s 456. Ohio has sol miles Of canals
made, Kentucky 4se Ohio has constructed railroads
costing sH,9 ,O5s Kentucky $500, ,9sO.
But in contrasting the result of labor in these
States, and looking at its aggregate product, it
Is important to remark that the ESQ, 62s, 456, gwen
as the total value OF property In Kentucky, in
cludes the value Of 2lO,esl slaves. If it be as
suned that the average value Of these slaves equals
s5c0 each third of this $500 600 i not natural
property, available 10 the owner everywhere, but fc-
ttous property made property by local laws and not
by the laws Of nations or nature The accumulation
of surpluses in Ohio exceeds $500 900 of natural
property admitted by all civilized nations to belong to
its owner, while Kentucky has ess than $500 1000
Of similar property, and little over $500 oOO, COO IL
cluding the value of her slaves.
The average products of labor in Kentucky are
nearly so per cent less than in Ohio and 10 enable
Kentucky to compete with Ohio in the markets OF the
world wages or cost Of labor there shone correspond

Three of the Presidents office-holding pets in

finally persuaded the honest, well-meaning

Spiritu al.

Two more horrible murders have been COM
mitted in Connecticut, by a man named San
ford, who was Wakenanite." These crea-
lures seem to believe it 10 be their religious
duty to .murdar every person whom they sus-
pect Of evil. They attribute their pains and
ailments to an ''evil spirit" existing in the
body of some one, and straightsvay proceed to
ease themselves by numbering the person pos
sessed of the Esprit"
. Samuel Sly, now in jail as the murderer Of
Justus Matthews, states that he has become
cogaizant, through revelation, of the fact that
Z as soon as Amos Hunt gives up his power Of
death as the man Of SIM by death or other
means, then the world will be at once re-
deemed"
Sanford confessed having murdered both Mr..
Sperry and Mr.. Umberfield, while on the way
to Jail He said he had a cramp, and if he
had not murdered Mr. Sperry and Mr.. TIMBER
field, the cramp would have killed him.

The s, A. Douglas Construction Of the Kan
sas-Ncbraska Bill Endorsed by the WASH
ingtOn Union.
From the Unirn Ct October %, 1854.
GENERAL SHIELDS IN ILLINOIS.

| We are gratifed to see that General Shields Is,
in the canvass in his State, giving powerful aid to
his distinguished colleague, Judge Douglas. Sell
| dom has contest been so zealously and ably car
ried on as that in Illinois. Judge Douglas has just
I completed tour Of four weeks, and returned to
| Chicago with confidence Of the triumph of the De-
mocracy. General Shields has entered the fight
with earnestness and ability. We see sketch Of
his speech at Springfield, in which he sustained
the principles Of the Nebraska bill with great force
and effect. Speaking Of the principle of non-in-
PREVENTION, he said
cit allowed the people Che said) to fix their own
condition, manage their own affairs, and work out
their own happiness in their own way. II gave
equal chances to equal States in the settlement
and government of common territory. Kansas
| and Nebraska were free now, and the people there
would keep them free. The establishment of
slavery in those Territories was not only improba-
BILE but impossible, and it was always wiser and
| better to let people work out great good for
| themselves, than have it forced upon them by
others; and this was the way in which freemen
always do what is great and good, by their own
free and voluntary act The principles of non-in-
PREVENTION would not only keep Kansas and Me-
braska what they are now-free--but would, by
its full and fair operation, If acquire the conti-
nent to the Isthmus of Darien, work with such
powerful force and effect, that no man would ever
see another slave Territory on this continent"
AFTER saying much more on this head, General
Shields alluded to the danger of sectional organiza-
tions and of arraying one section of the Union in
general sentiment Of hostility against the other.
The Nebraska question, he said, would soon settle
ITSELF MS, in the midst Of this angry discussion,
Kansas would present herself with free constitu-
ton, and be admitted as free member of the con-
federacy." 6a
The following resolution was adopted by an
administration convention held at Middleport,
Iroquois county, Illinois:
/" Resoiped, That the Democratic party is not
only opposed to the further extension Of slavery,
but are now legslating against its extension"
This resolution is confirmation of the views
presented by General Shields, and those views
the Union endorsed and applauded. This is
| the Northern construction of the Kansas bill,
and upon which the Richardson phalanx =
has immovably planted itself II is fair illus.

s. Houston, who arc now, as always hereto

lTHIRTY-FoURTH CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRRaENTATIvE
FIRsr SESSION,



Mr.. WALKER, with tina view Of uniting the
conservative elements, offered resolution declar-
ing Mr.. BoYcE Speaker, regarding him as eminent
ly qualified, and as having taken no part in the
Democratic caucus. The American party could
not carry out their wishes, and therefore he was
inclined to surrender Mr.. FULLER solely for the
purpose Of organization
Mr.. GALLOWAY moved to substitute the name
of Mr. BANKS, and defended the Republicans from
Mr.. WALKERs charge of sectionalism. On the con-
trary, they are national seeking to carry out the
cardinal principle Of freedom.
Mr. DUNN appealed to Mr.. BAKKs's friends TO
accommodate themselves to circumstances. To
secure some degree of harmony in all quarters, he
suggested the name of Mr.. PEsNISaTos for Speaker.
Mr.. SAGE moved TO table the resolution.
Before the vote was announced, various gentle
men took the opportunity TO define their positions.
The resolution was tabled-yess, l4l nays, 10.
Mr. O0RODE offered resolution that from and
after Saturday next, no member Of the House be
entitled to receive daily pay till Speaker be elect

sition has determined to fight the great battle,
the issue Of which is so full Of interest to
every patriot 10 the land
This measure abrogated the Missouri Com
promise line IS established by the act Of 1920,
and established, according to Richardson,
Douglas, and Shields, the principle of squat
ter sovereignty" IL either does or does not
repeal the Douglas prohibition in the Texas
annexation resolutions. IL 1t does not the
Missouri Compromise line as extended by the
act of 1916 is still in force; then the principle
Of "squstter sovereignty" must be imperative,
and the people (Which means, according W the
present acceptation Of the word, Hindoos, Hot
tentots, Guinea negroes. and South Sea Island
srs,) cannot mould their form Of government
except in accordance with the laws Of Con-
gress. If it does repeal the Douglas Texas
prohibition, then the guarantee in the compact
Of annexation, that Texas may be divided into
four States is rcpealable, and Texas may be
compelled to remain as she is--one State.
The Northern wing of the party contend
that the principle of "squatter sovereignty is
established the Southern wing deny 1t.
The Southern wing contend that the Doug
las prohibition is repealed; the Northern wing
deny it. s,.s3
Here are two issues which necessarily flow
| from the enactment of the Kansas N Nebraska
bill, each furnishing fuel for agitation and a
renewal of the fearful sectional differences
which have threatened TO sever the Union.
| These issues the administration have thrust
upon the country.
If they harmonic, and all agree that the
Douglas prohibition is repealed, then will fol-
| low the sectional contest upon the expediency
of repeating the provision providing for the
subdivision of Texas; and a fearful struggle
this must be, for the South will never willing
" yield the right to subdivide Texas, and the
North will demand it's repeal, as a just conces
sion for the abrogatiou Of the Douglas prohibi-
ton Here then, are threo distinct and sepa-
rate issues between the NORTH and the South,
flowing from the measure upon which the adj
minstration party has planted itself They
are all full of danger to the South and the
Union, and will serve but to create dssenSlons,
disputes, chickering's, i'll feeling, and an aliena-
ton of one portion Of the country from anoth-
or. Each of these issues threaten the disnem-
berment Of these thirty-one States; and one or
all must come, if the administration party,
which has planted itself upon measure, con-
tinues to hold the reigns of government Dis
union turks beneath their platform measure;
disunion is emblazoned on their banner; dis
union is proclaimed by the leaders, and the
seed of discord is sown broadcast over the
land This is no fancied sketch, but the logical
and natural deduction from the policy OF this
party. II can live only upon agitation, and
seeks only to create sectional agitation, that IT
may thrive Agitation is the food for dema-
gogues with them, the preservation of the
UNION is of but a secondary consideration.

THE INDIA RUBBER CHEZ In CLYcHY.--A Paris
letter relates the following mishaps which occurred
to Mr.. Goodyear, the celebrated India Rubber
manufacturer;
1.-THE day that Mr.. Goodyear received his deco
ration, he was seized for debt and thrown into
Clychy. The law of France in the matter of debt,
is unjustly severe on foreigners. Mr.. Goodyear
has been three times in Clychy, during his short
residence in France. Last year be employed a
carriage maker Of Paris to make him carriage of
the most elegant and costly form, complete in vul-
canized india-rubber. Mr. Goodyear was to furnish
the material, and was to pay for the job large
sum of money. The material was partly furnished,
and about the time the job was commenced the
manufacturer sued Mr.. Goodyear for the whole
sum- Mr.. q. refused to pay, and as no warning is
here given to foreigners, he was seized thrown in
to prison, and only obtained his liberty by paying
the whole sum, which he agreed to pay for the
carriage. The contract remains unfinished.
" In the present instance, Mr.. Goodyear engaged
machine to perform a certain kind of work in the
india-rubber manufacture, which, on delivery, was
found, like most European attempts at following
American models, TO be imperfect and entirely in
competent to perform the labor required. He re-
fused its acceptance, and few hours afterwards
found himself in prison Indignant at such treat
ment he declared his intention not to pay the debt
and on Saturday gave big dinner in prison to his
friends. But his family paid the sum, twenty-five
thousand francs, and he was compelled to come
out He will now have to collect the money by
suit
