A SCRAPE ABOUT NEGROEs.-The New York Mr.
rOr, paper which supported Fremont in the Presi-
Dental election, in an article which contains a
great deal Of error, has crumb of truth, as fol-
lows:
LET US not be misunderstood We consider our
cO'ored brethren only by courtesy, and very infe
rior race.
We believe their physical peculiarities show a
difference 90 their disadvantage. In the hands Of
kind masters they are muca better off than their
own They totally unfit to enjoy or exercise
he rights Of free men, and when left to themselves,
hey soon relapse into their natural type. All his
tory shows this The facts before eyes
We consider that any attempt to disturb their pres
ent relations with their masters Of the South,
philosophical, illegal; inhuman, and wicked"

Coin AGAINST PAPER.-The advocates of paper
currency, are constantly quoting the opinion Of
Nicholas Biddle in support of their favorie theories
What will they say in answer to the following from
their great leader:
In the year of 1892 Mr.. Biddle was called before
9 committee of the House of Repres entatves, with
reference 10 the question of the Increase of the pa
per circulating Of the Bank of the United STATES
and the means Of permanently regulating the gen
eral paper circulation, as 10 prevent injurious
effect upon the trade and currency the country.
"What is wanted" said Mr.. Blddle, as this: frs,
10 widen the basis of the metallic circulation by
abolishIng the use Of small notes 10 allow coin
20 take The place Of them, as it inevitably would
and second, 70 annex 20 the nOn-psyment CT speciC
by the banks SO heavy penalty-s9y an interest OF
twelve per cent. IN Of the New England
Banks; or a forfeiture Of charter as III some OF the
Jersey Banks-as would deprive the Banss Of all
temptation 70 incur the risk Of insolvency" Here
is open and distinct recognition and endorsement
of the great fundamental doctrine for which n,
have been conJending with reference to existing
financial troubles There is too much paper-too
little coin

STIRRING TIMES.

Matters Of magnitude thicken around u.s. testing
the strength Of institutions and the capacity of
our people for self-government. The Bank panic,
the Mormon troubles. the arrest of Walker in Mica
raguA. and the difficulty in Kansas, form group OF
events exceeding in magnitude any which have
At one time compelled the people to pause and re-
feet. The worst Of these is Kansas The country
viii recover from the commercial disasters brought
upon it by the agency Of the banks, and 60 again
through the same process of imitation and depres
sion. The Mormon may be healed or extir-
psted, for there is peculiar North South side
to it. With the lights before us, we ioubt the
right Of Commodore Paulding to arrest Walker in
the country of which he was citizen: its First
Citizen-iis President But if this was an error,
it was an error Of judgment, which may be cor
rected without endangering the public peace.
But the Kansas matter is serious and alarming
The telegraph informs US that the LecOmptOn
stitution was adopted with the slavery clause. The
question now goes before Congress. The Freestate
men win not osiensibly oppose the recognition Of
Kansas on the ground that slavery is established
Their friends in Kansas refused to VOTE and the
contest will be the power of Congress to revise
the action of the Convention, and to reject the
stitution because the whole instrument was not
submitted to tae people. Our own opinion on this
matter has been often expressed. While we regret
that the whole constitution was not submitted TO
the people, we believe that the convention had the
entire and exclusive control of the question. Such
has always been understanding Of popular SOW
ereignty. The sovereignty Of Congress in the
matter, is something recognized by TIE Federal
Constitution We utterly DENY its power TO pre-
scribe whether constitution shall shall not be
submitted TO the people. Upon this question
nomnally at least-the admission or non admission
will be decided by Congress-; and, decided in either
way, the decision will probably create higher and
more dangerous degree of excitement than the
country has before witnessed The result is in
the future. In God and a united Democracy is the
only hope of the country; AMI while We pray for
the help of the one, let take care, by candid and
honest dealing TO secure the other

The "GREAT EASTERN" STEAMsHIP-DIFFIoULTY
OF LAUNCHING IT.-The Great Eastern steamship, in
London, still remains on the stocks in consequence
Of the Formidable difficulties in the way of launching
her. She Is tweny-six thousand tons burden, being
several times larger than any other vessel in the
world The London correspondent ofthe Philadelphia
PeHHsylUaHiaH says:
Another attempt to launch the LeUigthGn, on last
Thursday, mas again signally failed. So private
were the arrangements kept by Brunel that no more
than thirty or forty spectators were present This
precautiOn was deemed most necessary from the i'm
mense number of steamers, crowded with human
Oeings which surrounded her the last public trial
10 the imminent danger of the lives Of thousands
The OF this second failure is to be wholly at
trIbuled to the giving way Of the gigantic piles
against which the hydraulic rams abutted in their
vain endeavor to force the vessel into the river.
forcing power of three hundred and fifty tons over
came their resistance under which they shook like
wicker work and sprung from their position with the
elasticity of whaebone. The launching cradles are
also fast sinking, and the three-inch dame er
mooring- chains swapping as if of horse hair.
Serious doubts to the practicabiy Of the achieve
ments are now intruding upon The minds of soma of
our hitherto most sangulne professional men. One
thing is obvious to the dullest observer that so in
ferior is the motive machinery, to the mass, that
should any accident occur, the LeUathIH, by its mo-
menlum, shall certainly sweep the entire concern
with it into the Thames The next attempt will be
made in few days, but under circumstances Of the
strictest privacy.
