TIRED OF THE SLAVERY QUESTION.

"We have heard enough ofthe niger question
Do give us something new instead OF everlastngy
harping about Slavery as though there were no
other evil in the world"
No. gentlemen, you haven't heard enough about
that dsagreeable matter yet. The world will
never have heard enough about Chr stanity till the
earth is full Of the glUrv Of the Lord. The reign
of Wrong will never cease to be troubled with the
opposition of good men, until it is entirely over
thrown. Quite likely the legion Of devils that lord
it over wretched race will always cry out "Let
us alone 4" whenever anybody makes move to
drive them from their usurped dominion. But
the move will be made for all that. And the dev-
lis will be routed by and by, for the mouth of the
Lord hath spoken it. Remember them that are
in bonds as bound with them;and them which suf-
fer adversely, being yourselves also in the body.
Open thy mouth for the dumb" There's the doc
trine. Just so long as any human being is claim
Ell as slave the whole fabric of the earth is to be
convulsed. Such is Heavens process of redemp-
ton. II you afraid ofagitation, you are afraid
of the work of God
Tired of hearing about slavery" are you If
it be unpleasant to hear of it, what must it be to
feIh? Suppose your neighbors. or the Missou-
rians, or the Indians, or the Algerines, any
body else, were to fix the chain your heel, and
thrust the iron into your SOUL and bend your free
spirit down under the burden of unpaid toll; and
then suppose your proiessed friends should get
tired OF hearing" about your rescue-what them?

COOLIE LABOR.

The Charleston Mercury, which few weeks
since ardentIy advocated the opening of the slave
trade, is now advocating the importation of Coo
lies 1t mpares the relative expense of slave
and Coolie labor as follows:
The labor of Coolie is to be obtained at the
cost of S48 annually. We feed, cl0thc house and
take care of one Coolie. /! he dies becomes use
less, we lose nothing. We risk neither our prin-
cipal or interest; we make no investment beyond
the weekly remuneration for his labor, and if, from
any casualty, the labor ceases, so does the remu-
neraton.
A Negros labor would cost about S93 annually
the interest upon about Sl,335-which would be
near the cost per hand. We feed, clothe. house
and take care Of within fraction, two negroes for
the use of one if he dies, we lose principal and
interest; if he becomes useless, he is an actual
burden.
OF the dosirableness of making an effor, to OBJ
tain .be Coolies, it says:
There is no present prospect Of cheap labor from
African importation. The slave trade is closed
negro labor is expensive and scarce; whito labor
will not answer for the cultivation Of the soil in
Southern lattudes. Where cheap labor be
obtained? 1t appears to me there is a way out of
the woods; there is an exit from our dilemma in
importing Coolies. There are laws forbidding
the importation of Chinese laborers. Coolie labor
has threefold merit: it is cheap, effective, and
suited to warm climates. They can labor like the
negro on Southern plantations, with little risk
to their health.
the Coolie is brought here will there not be con-
fict of jurisdiction" between him and the negro !?
The Chinese physiognomy will be certificate of
freedom unimpeachable; small matter when
there is no shade Of complexion in this country
that is.-Cia. Gazette.

draw such distinction and deny the provisions
and guarantees secured against the cncroachment
of the Government. AS we have already said, the
right of property in a slave is expressly conferred
in the Constitution and guaranteed to every State
This is in language too plain to be misunderstood ;
and no words can be found in the Constitution
giving congress greater power over slaves than
over any description of property.
1t is, therefore, tho opinion of this Court that
the Act OF Congress which prohibits citizens from
holding property of this character north of a
certain line is not warranted 10y the Constitution,
and is therefore void and neither Dred Scott nor
any one of his family were made free by their
residence in Illinois. The plaintiff was not
citizen of Missouri, but was still slave and there
fore bad NJ right to sue in a Court OF the United
States.
The National Litelligercer says:
"Mr Justice Nelson read on opinion in which
he did not enter into the Constitutionaity of the
Missouri Compromise, but held,and on that ground
affirmed the judgement of the Court below, that a
slave carried into n Free State, whatever might be
the laws of that State remained slave when
ever returning to the State in which his owner
resided.
"Mr. Justice Catron also delivered an opinion,
in which the freedom Of the Northwest Territory
was made to be the act of the State of Virginia,
which the original proprietor Of the Territory,
and which alone, and not Congress, had the right
to prohibit Slavery there. lie expressed himself
in very decided terms against the Constitu tiona-
ity of the Missouri Compromise"

Hancock and Ohio counties are not fourth
part as large as Greenville and Southampton, and
yot their lands are set down in the census al
more than twice the value Of the lands in those
two slave counties. An acre is worth ten times
as much in Hancock as in Southampton. The
Southampton and Greenville lands arc valued al
less than three dollars acre; the Hancock and
Ohio lands at nearly thirty dollars. Yet the
two slave counties are crossed by railroads, are
convenient to tde-water, have been longer settled
than the free counties, and in almost every other
repect have tho advantage over them.-What q
