A significant Fact.

The Chicago Press remarks, that large
number OF the leading pro-slavery politicians
have engaged OF late in extensive real estate
operations. '.Mr. Douglas, aside from the
wealth obtained by his first marriage has
amassed a large fortune BY this means. So
also, has Col. Richardson. Mr. Breckinridge
Vice Presiden OF the United States, is in the
same category, so is Bright of Indiana, Orr
OF South Carolina, ,Toombs Of Georgia, Sill
dell OF Louisiana, FoIney Of Pennsly vania,
and many others whose names need not be
mentioned here. 1t will DO observed that a
majority of the persons named are residents
of Slaveholding States and are themselves
the slavery extension party. 1t is natural to
suppose that these men, if honest in their
politics, regard slavery Us bcnqfccnt insii-
tution-especially SO tosthc white raee--that
it is good both in It's morals and inlits ypecu-
MARY results, and ;hat free society il the lam
gnage Of the Richmond Enquirer is indeed a
failure. Bat We hear Of no one of these men
making investments OF this character IN any
one OF tie slave-holling States. = On the
contrary, when the agent Of Mr.. SiiacIl wrote
him the other day that he could hwy iinds la
Missouri, of equal tertilitywith those ofIllin-
OILS. for about ono fourth OF tho price Of the
latter, and advised that TIC Missouri lands be
taken, Mr.. Slidcll replied: ''Buy the Him
ois." Mr.. Toombs comes all the way from
Georgia to buy lands in Minnosota and Wis
cousin, Col. Orr, of South Carolina, to pur-
chase in Iowa and Nebraska, Mr.. Breckin-
ridge of Kentucky, to Superior City, and the
beautiful cluster of islands in the lake Of the
same name known es tie Apostle Islands.--
Mr.. Douglas gigantic spsculations are con-
fined mainly TO Chicago. > II was only o
day or two since that we ohronicled single
puacha,e OF his in this city amounting to
$3.50. 200. Mr.. Bright iollowsMr. Breckiuridge
| in his investments. Col. Richardson Owls an
interest in Superior, and has made Ia
vestments in this city, in Quincy, Illinois
and in Keoknk Iowa. And 30 Of al the
rest. No one of them crosses the line int
slave territory while pursuing his individual
speculations." There Is difference in buying
lands and culsivating them for profit. Whilt
slavery arrests the progress of State, it ere.
ates fortunes for the individual slave holders
Slavery is not supported for its profits to the
! State, but for the selfish Interests of indiyid-
uals, and when avarice and not patriotism, i.
tine ruling passion, it IS natural for the same
men to buy plantations at the south toculta'
vate and lands in Illinois and lows to spec
ulate upon. -, t'f

Tho death Of Mr.. Marcy reminds the coun-
try how rapidly its great and eminent States
men have passsed away within the last ten
years, and what void their departure has
left: rsT ri ? IL.
Almost all tia great and illustrious men
who came into life during the first twenty
Ave years Of the present century, have been
matched away within that time. The list
which memory calls ut the moment il formid-
able in numbers, and the persons whose names
are on it were conspicuous for vast and va
RED ability. First in the point of time, is
that Of John Quincy Adams, who died in

lor Calhoun. Clay, McDuffie, Story, Webster.

Hill, Burgess, Cheves and Marcy. What i'm

and that we require only labor--free labor
forw need not say that servilc labor is inad-
equate
'The opponents Of the movement will urge
two objections to it---the debt which the yur-
chase Of the slaves would entail on the State,
and the agitation which may ensue. By the
last census there were in round numbers sO,-
600 slaves in Missouri. valued at $50, ,O00,-
900. Our railroads when completed will
have cost that sum, and the State, so far
from being impoverished by the expenditure,
will be much richer than it was when those
works were commenced. A few years hence
the State will be better able TO loan $50 O,000,-
600 than it is now to bear the burden Of Sl9,-
100000 given to the railroads, and no one
can say that this burden is onerous. England
with a national debt of $4,000, ,000, 900 gave
| 8 90, 600, 900 to the Jamaica planters as a
compensation for emancipating their slaves
/ Even as a financial question there is nothing
startling in it, especially when it is remember
ed that land ,oouid double IN yaiue simultane-
ously with the passage of the constitutional
amendment authorizing its enactment.
There need be no pernicious agitation, and
even if there should, it is the penalty which
we cannot avoid paying az some time and it
is easier to pay it now than in the future
Who that ioatches passing eUcnts and Indications

/ gragple ,cih the danger IN time u danger there

middJle. One thing IS certain, or history is no
guide that IS, that slatery cannot be perpetud-
ted anywhere. An agitation now would be the
effort Of the social system to throw off dis
ease which had not touched its vitals hero
after it would be the struggle for life with
I u ~. 4 L.
any agitation more violent than has been fore
ed upon us for years by the pro-slavery poll
ticians. Agitating the slavery question has
been their constant business, and nothing
worse has resulted from it than their elevation
to offce-no very trifing evil by the way
and the temporary subjugation of Kansas
Besides we know that all the Free States
emancipated their slaves, and England and
France theirs suddenly; and we have yet to
learn that dangerous agitation arose in any
instance
We have italiciscd passage in the last
paragraph, which teens with significant sug-
gestions-with suggestions which all thought
full men in the slave States would do well to
ponder and to heed before it is too late. The
Missouri Democrat concludes its article with
words that deserve to be noted and applauded
