TIE BRUSH proposition to II e-open the



S1aye Trade.
The Washington correspondents of the New York
Tines, wiring on July 10th, says:
The serious attention of this Government has
been called 10 the contemplated design the part
OF England to establish an African Emigrant So
ciety, under the hypocrtcai pretenee of its phan-
throPic desire co Christanize Arica, but really to
monopolize the whole of the African slave trade
wild Africans to India, where the Cooley system
has failed, and also TO the British West India
Islands. The plan is to establish emigration agen-
cies in Africa provide suitable vessels for their
passage, make voluntary contracts. see to proper
facilities of return. By getting the services Of the
4 fTican loo condition possible, and thus
drive all competition OF slavery of the field, by
putting an end 70 the exigencies which maintain it
The whole scheme is but design in conjunction
with the Cotton Supply Association" TO break
down the planters in the Southern States and West
Indies. It's argued that the average cost of
slave in the West Indes is 500, and that free
black eaigragt could be landed for about $35 lcav-
ing difference 10 the frat price to cover infn-
ity OF minor expenses At this rate It Is calculated
that it will be imnossible for Southern planters
TO compete with free black eorigrant labor, while
the slave West India Islands viii be prevented
from obtaining any more slaves from the coast.
Were England to attempt this course, it would
b. IN violation Of the treaty made with England
and France for the suppression of the Slave Trade
as her system of free black emigration would be
far more inhuman than the present slave trade, if
not more Infamous than the present apprenticeship
system.
II is expected that our Government will signify
to England and France that such course would
meet with its entire dsapprobation.

PAYING RALRoADs.-It is stated that every
railroad running from Boston, except the East
eru pays dividend in July. Nearly all of
them have earned much more than they pay
The Boston Post says:
''Most of our roads, in the first half Of this
year, have gone ahead of the corresponding por.
ton of 1856; but the general staguarion of
trade is beginning to tell upon many Of them,
both as regards freight and passenger earnings,
and unless the fall business should be very act,
i've the chance is, they will receive less 10 the
whole of 1857 than in the whole of 1856 Ga
the other hand they are reducing their expen-
dtures as much as possible, and their net earn
ings this year may not fall behind those of
1856"

~ It was currently reported at Murfrees-
boro' day before yesterday and also on the
streets in Nashville, that the proposition to
close the canvass first commenced from Col.
Hatton. This was intended for political eff
feet, and is positively untrue. The card of
Messrs. Hatton and Harris is all that any one
has right to look to in speaking of this mat
ter. The terms in every respect are mutual,
and are intended to prevent any unfair preju-
dice to either party.

HIS LAST LETTER.-The last letter ever penned
by the late Hon. VIM. L. Marcy, and about which
considerable curiosity has been expressed was ad-
dressed to Hon. John Minor Bolts, of Rich
mond, Va, introducing the latter, his friend, to
Hon. Thomas II. Seymour, u S. Minister at St.
Petersburgh, Russia. Mr.. Bolts expects to spend
several of the ensuing months on tour through
Europe, and will visit of its celebrated resorts
before his return.

WHAr We ARE WoRrH.-In an able article on the
value OF the South, in the New Orleans Delta, it
Is estimated that the number of slaves at the South
are over three and half Millions aud their aggre
gate value, at present prices, fully sixteen hun
drcd millions OF dollars. The cotton plantations in
the South it estimates at about eighty thousand,
aud the aggregate value Of their annual product at
the present prices Of cotton, is fully hundred
aud twenty-five millions of dollars. There are over
fifteen thousand tobacco plantations, aad their au-
uual products may be valued at fourteen millions
of dollars. There are two thousand six hundred
sugar plantations, the products of which average
annually more than twelve Millions There are
five hundred and flty-one rice plantations, which
yield an annual revenue OF four millions Of dol
lars.

SAoREDNEss OF TEARs.-There is a sacred
ness in tears. They are not the marks Of weak
ness, but Of power. They speak more elo,
quently than ten thou and tongues They are
the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep
contrition, Of unspeakable love. If there were
wanting any argument TO prove that man is not
mortal, would look for it in the strong, con-
vulsive emotion of the breast, when the soul
has been deeply agitated, when the fountain
Of feeling is rising, and when tears are gush-
ing forth In crystal streams. Oh speak not
harshly Of the stricken one weeping 10 silence7
Break not the solemnity by rude laughter, or
intrusive footsteps. Despise not a wuman's
tears-Jhey are what make her an angel. Scott
not il the stern heart of manhood is some
times melted TO sympathy; they are what
helps to elevate him above the brute love TO
see tears of affection. They are painful tokens,
but still most holy. There is pleasure in tears
an awful pleasure! If there were none on earth
to shed tear for me, l should beluth to live !;
and If no one might weep over my grave 1
could never die in peace-Dr. Johnson.

This list comprises all of the democrats in

chivalry, the upper and the lower strata, of the

forgive them for not being convinced by that
speech, and hence he would bundle them all
together with Hatton and send them to po-
litical coventry, as enemies of the mechanic,
