The foregoing demonstrates the singular fact
that while the freesoilers of the north and ives
are making use Of every conceivable means Il

the agency and influence ofgovernment officials

has discovered the blunder she committed il
emancipating the slaves in her West India pos
sessions, and is now endeavoring to replace then
with fresh importations in the guise of appren

DANGER TO ANGLo-SAxoN NAT1oNs.-Tht
London Times appears to be in painful state
| ofexcltement in reference to the reported poi,
soning propensities Of the Chinese, and enter
tains an opinion that, although the celestials
are not any way formidable to the English al
close quarters, they may Notwithstanding dc
great execution at long distances, with 'sgun
POWDER 'canister," and other devish inyen-
tons. Perhaps the writer in the Times is moi
much interested in the tea trade; or has come
to the conclusion that 'tyarb tea'' is quite as
palatable and as wholesome as the imported ar
ticle, and like the chap with nineteen children,
he is a 'real native" and wishes to encourage
home manufacture. His warning will probably
carry dismay to the hearts of myriads of ardent
imbibers of tea, who can find no substitute for
their favorite beverage. Not the least amusing
part Of this wonderful production, is the cool
ness with which the Scribe assumes that 'tour
wars' (i. t. the wars of England ''have been
as awfully destructive to human life in Ameri-
ca as the cholera Or the yellow fever He does
not say word about the Crimea We will not
quarrel with him for his alIusion to America, as
we are forced TO admit that the British armies
experienced an awful destruction "to human
life" during their vsits-especialIy at little
plain six miles below New Orleans. Then it
will also be found that we cannot grumbIe, as
the following paragraph from the Times indi-
Gates that both Great Britain and the United
States are alike threatened with destruction at
the hands of the rascally Chinese:
''1s there anybody so foolish as to suppose
that the Chinese will not poison every box or
chest of tea, preserved ginger, sweetmeats,
chow-chow, marmalade, or anything else that
is exported from China for the use of foreign
ers? We believe honestly and truly that the
destruction of human life in this country and
in America, from The use of poisoned tea, will
be the most fearful calamity that has ever Wis
tied the two countries in this century It will
destroy more human life in the United States
than our wars, the yellow fever or the cholera.
People continue to drink tea, and think there is
no danger! 1t will be a fatal mistake. Wait
until the cargoes OF tea now on their way to
American ports are landed. Those who dream
that we shall escape poisoned tea, had better
have it anal ysed,"
We have no doubt but the warning of the
Times Will be .heeded by its numerous patrons,
but the Americans are not so credulous as 10
believe that the Chinese are foolish enough to
poison all their teas because they are at war wths
the English and other outside s'barbarans

The TRUE TEsT.-Ihe Crescent, discussing
the policy Of the Buchanan administration in
regard to Kansas, takes the true position. 1t
remarks:
eve are now somewhat anxious about the
course of the principal democratic journals of
the south. If they were honest in their de-
nunclations of Walkers conduct, they must de-
nounce Mr., Buehanan's conduct, for it is far
worse than Walkers. They at first strained
at and finally refused to swallow Walker, the
agent. Will they now gulp down the princi-
pal, Walker, acts and all, simply because he
has numerous offices Of honor and emolument
to bestow-cease defending their section-and
sell the rights of the south for miserable mess
of federal pottage?
awe ask the southern people to watch close
ly their sentinels on the watchtowers during
the impending crisis. They cannot scan with
too scrutinising eyes. The editor, the man, or
the politician that finches now, winks at, if he
does not justify, q gross and palpable betrayal
OF the south, and should be regarded as IN
trustworthy for all time to come"
