1t is unfortunate for the theory Of the Pro-slave
ry organ that the vast accession Of free white pop
uaton to the State Of Missouri has taken place al
period Of time when the agitation of the slavery
question has run the highest. 1t is well known
that for the last four or FIVE years the state VI
Missouri has been the scene of one OF the btteres'
and most exasperated contests upon this SUBJECT
that the country has ever witnessed, and that re-
Gently the opposition to the institution has as
sumed bold and clearly defined shape, and has
met with unexpected and decisive success The
contest was commenced by the Pro-Slavery men
upon abstract propositions intended to arouse the
bitter Slavery fanatIcism Of the State against Col
Benton. In the midst Of this, the Kansas strife
Broke out in all It's viruence and finally the BAN
ner Of Emancipation has been boldly unfured and
has carried VIGOROUSLY the very citadel OF the
State. 1t is not surprising, therefore, that the
Pro.Sayery organs should begin to show alarm and
CONSERVATION. ThOse who commenced the agita-
ton are anxious now for quiet; they go for
crushing" it out, and, with singular infelicity,
they point to the vast increase Of free white pOpu
aton over the slave population, brought about by
the agitation, a reason why agitation should
cease.
If what The Union says is true, and We do not
doubt its truth that the increase in the next four
years Of the free white population of Missouri will
be double what it was in the last four years, or
450, 900 against 225, 900, we believe that We can
reassure the alarmed and disquieted Slavery prop
agandists, and promise that the agitation will cease
1t will cease, however because Slavery will then
have ceased to exist in Missouri.

We have been inclined 10 class Harper's Weekly
among the more respectable organs of the Slave
Democracy in our City, but the leader in its last
issue compels US to rank it among the worst ga
zettes of its political school. That article coolly
assumes that the leading, the only object of the
Metropolitan Police bill was to transfer the control
of our Police from the City Hall to Albany This
libel on the Republicans of our State would be un-
Unsuitable even in an ayowed Buchanan organ; in a
professedy no-party sheet, it is inexcusable in
suit to its Republican readers. The truth is, that
the Republicans at Albany have never asked nor
desired more than that the Police shall cease TO be
political engine for the aggrandi1emsnt q one man,
ard he the leader of faction only in tie Demo-
cratic party. Thousands Of Democrats desired
this as heartily and have urged it warmly rs the
Republicans Show US any practical plan whereby
the Police shall be emancipaed from party yassal-
age and exempted from party prescription, and that
plan shall have our hearty appreciation. Show us
that the new Commission prescribe mea now in
the Police because they are Democrats or OF any
other party, and We will denounce that CoTninls-

We learn that Mr. f. o. Perrin, OF Brooklyn,
formerly of Tennessee, but last year an industrious
canyasser for Fillmore, and Native candidate for
Assembly, has been offered by Governor K. j.
Walker, of Kansas, the post of Private Secretary,
and has accepted it. We understand that he starts
for Kansas tomorrow.
Mr. Perrin is of the National" or Southern
Know -NothiDgs, who have earned by their course
last year q fair share of the patronage of the
Federal Executive. We hear that he is as ready
as Toombs or Stanton to give his opinion that
Kansas will be Free Stste-that the people ought
TO have fair chance to vote on the question Of
Slavery or No Slavery-thati it will ruin the Demo-
cratic party to make it Slave State by foul means,
&c; but what he proposes to do or have done in
the premises, in case the Border Rufisns persevere
in their course, and the Free-State men refuse 70
pass under their yoke, we do not hear. But as DC
is fluent talker, We shall probably have speech
from him at Weston, Leayenworth, Lecomp1on Ut
Lawrence, that will give us further insight ih'o HIS
views on the Main Question.

TIE SLAVE TRADE-PoLIcY OF THE BRITISH
CRuIsrRs.-In giving in our issue of yesterday list
of the vessels recently purchased In Havana TO DE
e1nployed in the African slave trade, We omitted one
which has since to our knowledge-the schooner
Wyannooka a Spanish vessel for which :, 800 were
paid by the purchaser
In a dispatch also published yesterday mention was
made of a SLAYER that had been captured by British
uan-of.war. and her cargo carried into Jamaca-a
British island It's the policy of Great Britain to take all
slaves captured from the trading vessels and land them
on some one its islands where they are not sex
free but apprenticed out for term years Thus APP
prenceship is equal in its hardshps upon the African
10 a state of absolute slavery-nay, we may say
greater for the master having only term OF years IN
his apprentice works him 10 his own interest for tho
time little caring in what plight he Is turned out TO
shift for himself its expiration, or what becomes OF
him thereafter. In state OF slavery It IL the interest
of the owner take the very best care possible oil the
slave and make him last 10 the longest period possible
The British policy, therefore, can hardly be SAID to be
dictated by the true principles OF humanity
The above paragraph, which The Journal Of Com
MIRO. copies from The Savannah Republican, only
shows on the part of those journals a high degree
Of ignorance, not wholly unmixed We think, with
certain touch of malignty. 1t is true that the AT
ricans captured on board slave ships By the British
are taken to the nearest British tropical colonies
and apprentced there for short terms. For this
there is this reason, in addition to other obvious
ones-that all these unfortunates are quite young,
and many of them hardly more than children. But
so far from being exposed to cruel treatment or ex
hausting labor, the terms Of the contract of APP
premiership are very carefully guarded on behalf
Of the apprentices who as well as their masters are
under the constant inspection of the stipendiary
magistrates, who receive their appointment from
the home Government, and who have power at any
time to dissolve the ndentures for satisfactory
sons We are bold to say that the treatment Of these
African apprentices, whom The Savannah Repub-
iican and Journal Of Commerce would represent as
worked to death and as worse off than slaves Is as
good in every respect the treatment of white ap
prentices in this country while the supervision
directly exercised by the magistrates over the re-
lations between them and their masters is much
more exact and effectua.
The reports spread BY those two Journals as to
the treatment Of these liberated Africans, are OK
actly on par with the stories circulated by certain
ignorant and malicious people about the Five Points
that the children of that vicinity, rescued from deg
radiation and sent to the West to be apprentced,
are there sold and treated as slaves.
