o. A meeting Of the citizens of Hender-
son county, Ky, was held at Henderson, last
week, and special patrole appointed to act
during the holidays, while the blacks are less
under the eyes Of their masters than at any
time during the year, and to prevent disorder
ly asscmblages of the negroes, and to detect
persons who may be guilty of supplying them
with liquor. The negroes Of that county are
obedient and loyal, and no apprehension of
disturbance exists among the masters but the
alarm excited by the movements of the blacks
GU the Cumberland, has made masters more
watchful everywhere of the habits and con-
duct of their servants, than heretofore. While
the blacks will not be debarred from any OF
their former privileges, they will be kept uE-
der close surveillance.

SENATORIAL DEBATEs.-The Senate of the
q. S. is still engaged in a debate upon the
interminable theme of slavery, the Presidents
message being the ostensible subject The
ultra Republicans Of the Seward, Wilson and
Wade school, evince great desire to define
their position anew, and to disabuse them
selves of the charge Of abolitionism, and to
deny that they have ever entertained any
thought or wish to interfere in any form with
slavery as it existed in the States. Mr..
Brown, Of Mississippi, in reply to Mr. Wilson,
said he was happy to see those gentlemen
changing their ground; it was evidence they
found themselves TOO ultra even for Northern
sentiment, that they were forced by public
opinion upon more tenable positions. Mr..
Brown had received from Mr.. Seward a vol
ume Of the latters speeches. He opened the
volume and read an extract therefrom to show
that Mr. Seward believed in a higher law
than the Constitution, and had said in address,
ing a Northern audience, chat slavery can
and must be abolished, and that you and |
must go and can do it,
Mr. Brown further read letter from Mr..
Wilson to Wendell Phillips, to show that the
i. desire was expressed that they might co-ope-
rate for the emancipation of the slaves and to
break the dominion of the master.
Mr.. Wilson explained that he desired Mr..
Phillips to come on to his platform, and it was
, not his intention to 60 on to that Of Mr.. Phil
5 lips Mr.. Brown remarked that ne had been
, assured, on good authority, that Mr.. Wilson
had recently, at hotel in Washing
ton, expressed the opinion that the slaves
: were justified in rising and numbering theil
: masters, and he would not advise them not to
4 do it, Mr. Wilson denied that he ever OF
any occasion, had such thought or expressed
such an idea. Mr.. Brown rejoined that hi
C had it in writing from gentleman of high re
spectability, and he would give him thc
names of other witnesses testilying to th'
= same thing. He would not now raise ques
If ton of veracity with Mr.. Wilson, bur woul(

OF 1t is a common misrepresentation to
suppose that the people Of the slave States
are not as prosperous and wealthy individu-
ally as citizens of the free States. Slave Ia
Dor is acknowledged not to be so productive
as free labor. But slave labor does not con-
sumo so much, nor expend so much of that
which is lost by its use, and therefore leaves
a larger residium of profit; and the slave
States accumulate more rapidly in proportion
to population than the free States; and al
though slavery may be an injury to the
growth of State, it makes richer citizens
1t retards population, but increases individual
wealth. and in this fact may be found the Sc
cret why it is held with so much tenacity.-
The Secretary of the Treasury, has publish
ed some very interesting tables, showing the
taxable property and population ofeach State,
from the latest official returns, and the most
reliable data to be obtained. From these, it
appears that in our own State the aggregate
taxable property of the State is about 1854
to each inhabitant. 1t is nearly the same in
Illinois. In Michigan it is only 1929. In
Maine it is S21O. In New York 800. In
Ohio 1888. In Connecticut it is about $500.
In Massachusetts, the richest free State, the
property is equal to S525 for every inhab-
tant.
In Georgia ig averages 1884. In Alabama,
1894. In Louisiana, $3.50. In Maryland,
about S41O In Virginia, $3.50 In Ken
lucky, $3.50. There are no slave States where
the proportion of property is so low as in
some Of the free States. And the population
in the slave States taken as the basis Of this
calculation includes all of the slaves. If the
slaves were deducted as non-particpants in
the benefits of property, the proportion to
to each white inhabitant would be double II
the slave States, of what it is in the free States
Individual profit must therefore have strong
influence in strengthening the tenure Of slave
property; and the argument usually address
ed to slave owners, that slavery is detrimental
to the State, is unproductive, and wasteful
loses all force, when they find so great an in
divdual prosperity flowing from it; and it il
hard for them to believe that an institution
that increases individual wealth so rapidly
can detract from the general prosperity of tn
State. The secretary mrkes the whole popu
lation of the Union, at this time, abou
27,OOOOOO and the whole taxable property O
the country ear ten thousand million, whicl
is an increase of about three thousand million
since 1850, according to the census returns c
that year, which is more rapid growth G
national waa1th than at opv other nerio1 an
and greater we presume, than was ever befor
known by any people in the history of tn
world.

WIsDoM.-A temperance meeting recently,
in New York, resolved that 'to abandon pro
Inhibition and fall back upon license system,
"would be unworthy of the age" Upon this
extraordinary and ultra sentiment, the New
York Times makes the annexed comments -
which are fully endorsed by the New Albany
Ledger The Times is the Republican tenn
perance organ in New York, and the Ledger
being the leading Democratic paper of our
State, there appears to be return to harmo-
ny, reason, and wisdom, from the extremes Of
both parties on this momentous question of
social reform. We hope to see evidence of a
like spirit in our Legislature this winter
They are sentiments which we commend, not
only to temperance men, but to ultra partizans
of all extreme measures.
1t lays down a principle upon which no
sane man would act for a moment in the reg
ulation of his private affairs. The spirit Of it
is the spirit. Of ultra and extreme pdrtizdnShip;
the same feeling which manifestS itself in po-
litical lfe and which, whenever it obtains con
troll, sacrifices the end to the means-a prac-
teal and attainable good to the obstinate,
reckless determination to have ones own way.
1t is the same spirit which prompts the ultra
abolitionist to repudiate everything short OF
the total, immediate, and unconditional aboli-
ton of slavery; the ultra pro slavery party to
insist upon the recognition of slavery as an
absolute blessing; and the purely partizan Re-
publican to hope that slavery may have full
swing under Buchanan, and accomplish all its
aims, so that the Republicans may achieve a
party triumph in 1860.
The object of the temperance movement is
to root out the evils of intemperance, pauper-
ism, crime, individual ruin, domestic suffer
ing and social degradation, all flow from the
use of intoxicating liquors. The aim OF tenn
perance men is to prevent that use OF them,
and thus ward off these results. Now this
resolution says we must prevent all use Of
them as a beverage-or we will not prevent
any. We must prevent everybody from selling
them for such purpose, or we will not prevent
anybody For license is in fact as well as IN
theory, limitation. The effect Of stringent
license law will be to restrict the sale-to
prevent ninety-nne out of a hundred men
from selling liquor. But unless the other man
can also be prevented, the ninety-nine shall
not be stopped. This is the practical and &C
tual position which this resolution assumes,
and which many sincere and earnest temper
ance men are resolved to hold. 1t seems to
US absurd.

* The Board of Trustees and Visitors OF
the Asbury University have held meeting at
Greencastle to take into consideration the
late difficulties in the University. Series OF
resolutions were passed unfolding the action
of the Faculty, but adding, that could the
end of these things have been seen from the
beginning, we might have different time and
manner for the action"
The suspension of the students was declared
temporary, and many of them have already
returned to their studies. 1t will take years
for the University to recover from the injudi-
cous arrangements of its faculty. The boys
will not however be permitted to hold thei
society meetings in the evening, and until
this permission is granted, many will not re-
turn.

STEAM REVENUE CUTTERs.-A bill has been
introduced into the Senate to provide for the
construction Of steam Revenue cutters, which
is said will be the beginning of new Revenue
Cutter Service. 1t has seemed for years
absurd and old fogyish to place line of little
sailing schooners along the coast to guard the
revenue and arrest the fleet ocean steamers
that defy the wind whence it may blow, and
outstrip the flight of the sea gull in its wind
ward course.

Bad news to the users of Tobacco.

The Scalpel Medical Journal, published
in N. W for December, closes long article
against the use of tobacco, with the following:
In eating, the tobacco chewer must lose all
delicate appreciation of flavor; we have OBJ
served, indeed, that he is very easily satisfied
by the filthy Irish cookery, and greasy and
cold meat and vegetables of the hotel or board
ing houses; he seasons his food very highly,
because of his obtuse taste; many Of these I'M
fortunates drink raw brandy for the same rea-
son. The tobacco chewer rarely eats a raw
oyster, prelerring it fried, and coated over
with grease and its empireuma; if he takes it
raw, he tortures the poor creature with pep
per and vinegar, and sticks fork in it, he
cannot elicit it gently from its pearly prison
with his lips-they are clumsy and half par
alyzed. Finally, and worse than all he ceases
to appreciate the chaste salute from the rosy
lip of love, and if the mistress of his blunted
affections should permit him to approach her
cheek, it can only be with pent-up breath,
and averted eye directed towards his pocket
the only attraction beautiful woman can
possibly have for a tobacco chewer. If there
be vice more prostrating to the body and
mind, and more crucifying to all the sympa-
thies of mans spiritual nature, we have yet
to be convinced of it,

" Our neighbor of the Enquirer denies
in positive terms, the statements Of the Vim
cennes Gazette, that Mr.. Bright had deter
mined to spend his winnings upon the cleo
ton in securing legislative votes for himself
as Senator. We are rcjoiced to see the in
dgnant terms in which the charge is denied.
1t is proof that the party and the people are
not yet demoralized. We are safe as long as
such suspicious are deemed the foulest spot
upon the reputation of politician, who, in
matters Of political doctrines, is notvery scru-
pulous. A man may be a profigate in his
protested partizan politics, without doing
much injury to the moral sense Of a commu-
nifty, for he can assume the garb of virtue and
honesty and give plausible reason for de-
sertion Of principle The moral feelings Of
people may be thereby satisfied, and remain
pure and unoffended. But when political
profigacy takes the shape of bribery and cor
ruption, it engenders moral leprosy in the
body polite, that is sure death to public vir-
tue, patriotism and freedom. 1t is a charge
that should not be made without good grounds
to sustain it. We hope the Yincennes Ga
zette will retract or give us the proof.
