of Philadelphia since May last is $4,000

WHAT DO WHITE LABORERs THINK
or IT THE President Of the Tennessee
and Alabama Railroad Company has re.
commended that three hundred slaves be
Immediately purchased to work on the
road. His calculation shows shat this pur-
chasd money, y,interest, insurance and main
tenaDce of . slave, will be only about
FORTY-SlX CENTS PER DAY, or
about sl15 per year, whereas the free
white laborers employed receive sl.25 or
81 so per day for their work. Such facts
as these show plainly enough that the con-
test now going on this country is con-
test between free labor and slave labor, and
that the free laborer is the person most
vitality interested in its proper decision.
The contest is not yet ended, and will only
be Intensified by the result of the recent
election. 1 ts b1r f ~ Ft.-i
