COMPARATIVE PoLITIoA Power OF THE FRRH
AND SLAVE STATEs.--The Journal of Commerce
of August 10th, in an article copied from the
Chicago Times, attempts to convey the errone
Gus idea that the southern states have no ad-
vantage over the northern states on account of
the representation in Congress Of three-6fths Of
their slave population.
The reason assg ned for this absurd position
IS, that in the free states negroes are counted
per capita the same as whites, whereas in the
slave states three-ffths are counted as BASH
of representation. Aside from the anti-demo-
cratic doctrine Ofproperty representation in any
form, the facts are these.
There are Of slaves in the United States s.
204,O33, represented in Congress by thirty
members-thi.ty members Of Congress repre-
senting property alone.
There are in the United States 434.9 free
colored persons 0fthese there are in the slave
states 238, 1877 : in the free states only 1885,
3O8, making an excess of free negroes in the
slave states Of ,87S,
II will be seen from this that the South has
the advantage not only in having its slave
property represented in Congress by their
members, but in having large excess of the
free cOlOred population.
The following is the vote given for Congress
meu in 1854, when We carried every District
in the State:

their aggressions. Give ;hem all the unsettled

FACT IN RELATION TO FRUIT TREEs.-
This winter has demonstrated one fact in re-
lation to fruit trees which farmers should un-
derstand, that is, that foreign fruit trees, we
mean those not raised and climated in this
country, have been killed, while those raised
here standing side by side with those raised
in Rochester and Ohio are not killed. For
instance, 1000 peach, pear, apple and cherry
trees, from Rochester nurseries, were plant
ed at the nursery of Mr.. Bort last fall for safe
keeping, and every tree has been killed by
the severity of the weather. while apple
trees killed in the same manner raised here,
standing directly by them, now afford thrifty
scions. There are also large number of
trees at the same place from Cleveland, en-
tirely killed. This shows that fruit trees
raised here become acclimated and stand the
severity of our winters better than those
raised abroad, and that people should pro
cure fruit trees raised as near their home
as possible. Niles Republican.

Mr.. BUcHANAN-The following is the
declaration of the Democratic members of
the New Jersey Legislature of which men,
ton was made the other day in a telegraph
ic dispatch:
Whereas, Presidential election is now
approaching, which, Independent of its effects
upon the Union, will exercise an important
influence upon the State canvass in New Jer-
sey; and whereas, to perfect union of the
democratic party, it is just and proper to OBJ
tain general expression of sentiment in re-
gard to candidates; therefore,
awe, the democratic Republican Senators
and members of the Legislature of New
Jersey, (disclaiming any desire to influence,
forestall or control the action of the national
convention to assemble at Cincinnati,) rep
resenting every portion of the State, desire
to express, on behalf of our fellow citizens a
preference for James Buchanan, of Pennsyl-
vania. We believe him to be the choice Of
New Jersey for the Presidency. His emf
nent talents, transcendent genius, great pub
lie services, and high personal worth, COM
bine to place him first in our affections; and
we do not hesitate to indulge the belief that
he can, more than any other, concentrate the
popular favor and support. Believing that
his nomination can and will secure for the
Democratic nominee the electoral vote o
New Jersey, we cheerfully, cordially and con
fidently commend him to our democratic
brethren in the other States of the Union
as most popular, because the most meritori.

ACQUISITION BENEFICIAL.-Since the
month of February, 1853, the Atlantic
States have received from California one
hundred and fifty millions of gold, Of which
we have not exported more than fifty mill
ions. So, saying nothing about the amount
received prior to 1853, the acquisition of Cal
ifornia has added to the stock of precious
metals in the country hundred millions.
The very men who are just now so busily en-
gagged in shipping Sharp's rifles to Kansas, to
be used in shooting down American citizens,
were opposed to the Mexican war on peace
principles! and prayed our soldiers might
find hospitable graves on foreign soil. They
said we did not want any more Territory, and
that if we took any from Mexico, as indem-
nifty for the past and security for the future,
the Union would fall to pieces.
We got California, and she is blessing to
the Union. She is great free State--free,
not by Congressional compulsion, but by
choice. She has strengthened the Union.
Her people help to conserve the Union. She
beautifully exemplifes the doctrine of popu-
lar sovereignty and is an unimpeachable wit
ness of the safety of erecting into States of
the Union the whole American continent

LOBBY AoINls--In the course OF our explora-
tons of the lobby system at Washington
which subject We shall publish budget at some
not distant day--we discover that a number of
persons are in the habit Of endeavoring TO levy
black mail by representing themselves as con-
nectd with the HERALD. We hope that they
will succeed for persons who are foolish enough
to be delUdsd by them deserve to lose their mo-
ney. If there are any persons who have 80 much
money and so little brains as 10 give brides to
persons representing themselves as corrcspon-
dents Of this Journal for promises Of notices Of

addition to the loss Of their money, they some
day undergo the additional penalty Of exposure

The SPECTATORS Or THE DAuY TINES
Mesas Wesley & Kowalski, Of the Daily Times,
appear to have been less successful in their
land jobbing enterprises than they have been in
their stock operations. In the latter, as it seems,
they have succeeded in cornering the Great Bear,
and hampering him for the moment; but in the
former it is they who are cornered, aud deservedy
so. We think that the Brick Church scheme, by
which they proposed to sell to the general
government for the use of the Post Office, for q
sum OF si5o,O00, property for which they gave
$4,000 only few weeks ago, aud to which
hey have no title, is one Of the most monstrous
on record We should like 70 know how many
Aldermen had finger in this pie, and how
many friends Of the President were bought over.
IL is fortunate that the question which has arisen
in reference to the title to this property, may up
set the whole scheme, Wesley 4 Company may
be very smart men but they may be tripped up,
some day, and 60 TO pieces, newspaper and all.
