AFRICAN LAROR

The high price of cotton united with the great and
constantly augmenting demand for tropical staples
is having its effect on the sensiblties of trans
atlantic philanthropists There is a well authenti-
Gated rumor ahoat in Paris that the Emperor Ma
pOleon has lately given permission to house at
Marseilles to fit out expedition for importing
10000 free negroes, so called, into the French
Colonies and that one vessel has already sailed to
Quidah, on the coast of Africa, well known as q
slave trading port to obtain negroes for that pur-
pose. Whether this story is true or not is not yet
known, though it has been made the subject of
ministerial Interpolation in the British Parliament
Whether this will turn out to be true false, it
cannot be denied that the transportation of African
laborers to the West Indies, is one of the most
anxiOusy discussed questions of the present day in
both England and France.
The London Times, in an extraordinary article
upon the Slave Trade, directly maintains that such
an importation of free black labor would operate as
an eectual remedy for the slave trade, and pointed
ly says ''We should rejoice, therefore, to see the
recent suggestion Of certain active philanhrOpsts
carried into effect, and legitimate supply of labor
established by proper, communications between
'Africa and the West Indies"
The New York Courier and Enquirer correctly
charges that this project owes its inception not to
philanthropy, as the Times would have it appear,
but to the hard and stubborn fact of political eGOnO
my, that there is great and growing deficiency in
the labor supply of the West India Islands The
amount of available labor in these islands has been
vastly diminished by the emancipation of the blacks
in the British and French colonies, while the spread
of civilizatiok and increase of population in the
temperate ATTITUDES of the world has every year in
creased the demand for tropical products. 1t has
become, them problem which cannot be got rid of,
how that labor is to be supplied. 1t cannot be OBJ
tanned from the white race, for that the tropical
climate inexorably forbids. 1t is pretty well estab
ished that the Coolies cannot supply it. for expert
ments to that end have substantially failed Nor
can any inducements prevail upon the mass of the
black population of the islands TO hire themselves to
employers and perform faithful service. To import
blacks from abroad without their consent and hold
them to compulsory service would be to rs-estabish
Slavery, which by law has been abolished, and to
renstate the slave trade which has been made piracy
by all civilized nations. 1t would seem that there
is but one resource lef-the importation of blacks
Nth their consent, under regulations that should
prevent their service from taking the type Of Slavery,
and secure it the character of mere hired employ
ment The great question now is whether that is an
available resource, practicable expedient.

TURNING AROUND.

Col. Robert Hatton, who is trying to be Governor
of Tennessee voted for the Assessor law of the last
session-he did and now says he is in favor of its
repeal Col. HattOn also voted for the law making
County Judges-he did do that thing; andnoW says
he is in favor of its repeal.
Why is he IN favor of repeating these laws so soon?
He says they were experiments, they have failed of
their object, public sentiment is against them, and
they should be repealed.
Know-Nothingism was experiment, awful
experiment; it has failed to accomplish any good,
and has done much harm, it has been condemned,
twice condemned, by the people of Tennessee. Why
then does not Mr.. Hatton abandon it? Does he
still cling to the policy of the knOwnOthing party
in defiance of public opinion for his Oath's sake?
Does he still defend what the great body of the peo
pie of the State have opposed simply because he
has taken an oath to do so? These oaths are hor-
rid things -Murfressboro' Neacs.

bSS- The KnowNothing papers here pretend to
doubt the truth of the dispatches from Kentucky.
They cannot thus doubt. They hnow them to be
true. And the pretence of doubling is put on tc
break the force of the blow. They have had two
days to telegraph and inquire the facts They have
done this, and the truth have published is con-
irmed in the answers they have received or in the
silence of their friends. They will admit the truth
tomorrow. We tell them frankly that in thus de-
ceving their friends they do themselves and then
cause infinitely more injury than they do us.

bers that Buchanan's majority was near 1000 and
that gain of 5OOin each of the ten districts would
make but 5000 in the State, and leave $500 still
against the Know NOthings. A pity the Patriot

BURNING OF THE NEW YORK LUNATIC
ASYLUM

The Utica Telegraph gives the full particulars of
the recent destruction of this large and important
institution, from which we copy the following rela-
tive to its unfortunate inmates:
"The military companies were ordered out to
protect the property into grounds
about the Asylum, and to guard the lunatcs who
were sent back into the adjacent woods The hor-
ror depicted in their countenances; their despair ;
their wild, mad rawlings; their incoherent exclama-
tions and CALCULATIONS contrasted with the loud,
wild cracking Of the flames and crashing of the
fallen timbers !-ah, it was a horrible sight! The
prayers and applications, the loud curses the
boisterous laugh, siekening the beh6iders at the
sight of unthroned reason, the menacing scowl to-
gether with the thousand other acts and parts of
acts which go to fill up the measure of the monom-
anac's life, so wildly portrayed as to-
day, when brought out under the terror aroused
within them at the sight of this mighty eOnfagra-
tiOn Poor creatures they are strangers to sympa-
thy, from their pitiable and helpless condition of
mind; but the tear will not refuse to moisten the
cheek Of humanity as they look upon the melancholy
picture just witnessed.
"When the corps arrived upon the ground the
greatest confusion prevailed-men running for med-
cal assistance for the burned others seeking help to
prevent the inmates from escaping from the build
ings and yards. On being formed the company
marchedto the grove in the rear of the Asylum,
and there mounted guard About two hundred Of
the PATIENTS mostly females, placed under the
surveillance of the company. They at first in squads
made efforts to escape, but on being firmly ordered
to remain quiet and not attempt to escape, they be-
came reconcled to their quarters sat down in groups
and apparently were pleased with the excitement
and confusion. Some of the patients became very
noisy and exeitable, andit was with difficulty they
were restrained from exhibiting viciousness, Those
who had been placed under the care of the
kept together in the portions of the wings
They kept up incessant noise-some singing,
shouting, laughing, cheering at the crowd outside
while others manifested fear and lost all control
over their physical systems"

Bs~ The prominence now given by portions of
the public press, especially in cities, to the details of
murder trials and other henous offences, we regard
of the prolific sources of the terrible crimes
and atrocities so alarmingly frequent all over the
country. They form much of the reading and the
study of minds that gloat over the Jack Sheppard
school of literature and news, and, by familiarity
with crime, come to regard it with complaisance
and in the hour of temptation often embrace it..
The cheap daies of the Eastern cities are little bet
ter than Police Gazettes and regret to see dis
position the part of any portion of the Western
press to follow copy" The tendency of all such
reading is to defle debase, and degrade-CgsUs-
