The last news from England informs US that
the proposed Apprentice System" on the part
Of Great Britain and France, and which is no
thing less than virtual re opening Of the Slave
trade, (under new nancy by those two govern
ments, is attracting much attention, and has be-
come prominent subject Of discussion, in Par
lament, as we'll as outside circles. The London
Iimes--a paper which, during the last Presidcn-
tial campaign in this country, was as warm a
supporter of Fremont as the New York Tribune
which, not content with lauding the Republi-
can party to the very skies, denounced the De-
mocacy as composed of everything bad-which
declared the issue to be a contest between free
dom and Siavery-exhibts hypocricy unparal-
led in ardently advocating the adoption Of the
Apprentice System" The proposed plan is
this, and is TO be entered into by both France
and England To legalize vessels, sailing under
the flags of either country, to proceed to Africa
and secure cargo of negroes, which are to be
taken to the southern colonies, oftheSe two gov
ernments above named, and these rented out

negro uatH has tlgeire ysarsare Hp the other five
sixth to be used in paying the expenses of bring
ing the negro out; the master to have complete
control over the negro, save that he is not allow
ed to sell him. This is the substance Of the
System" proposed by enlightened, (?) humane
and slavery batting England In the first place
to obtain cargoes for the ships, the negroes must
he kidnapped, or purchased from some yictori-
Gus tribe who have prsoners-either way in
opposition to the wish Of the negroes themselves
| Just as it is uow done by those who are lille
! gaily engaged in the slave trade. And as for
the condition comfort and happiness of the ne
gro, after being once rented out they will be no
better Off as well-as slaves now are in this
country. The master not owning the slave or
being responsible for his health or life, will work
him so as to get the greatest benefit from him
that he can, during the tve'gP gears; after which
time ninety nine out Of every hundred "Appren-
ticcsi would be broken down in health,-if not
dead unable to work or to secure livelihood
In this country, a master, if his slave becomes,
from any cause, unable to work, is compelled to
fHnjsh him a HUelihnol-to clothe feed and pro-
tect him; Il lder tie apprentice spstem a master
is not bound to keep the slave longer than the
time for which he rented him, and at its expira-
ton the slave must look ont for himself even if
his disability to labor has been produced by be-
ing oyelWOrked while rented And yet, Eng
lands orators and papers who have been un-
ceaSing in their abuse OF slavery in this country
are now labOring for the adoption of the Gap
prentice SYSTEM" Away with such hypocricy
Twas not John Bulls love for the negro, but
jealous hatred for our Republic, that causes him
SO bitterly to denounce American institutions.
Our citizens were shocked during the past
week, by the intelligence reaching here of Sen
tor RuSks sudden death, but more at the man
ner in which it was caused. AS your readers
will have learned ere this reaches them, he com
mitted suicide at his home, on the eth ult., by
shooting himself through the head with rife
AS yet, no special cause has bean assigned for the
act. For over IL years Mr.. r. has represented
his native State ('leXas) in the United States
Senate, and deServedly, was regarded as one Of
the ablest and best men in that distinguished
body. He had just entered upon his third term,
which alone is good evidence Of the high estima-
ton in which he was held by the Democracy of
the State.
A few weeks since, the whole country was
startled with the news of Mr.. Marcy's sudden
death. He was the oldest member of Mr.
Pierces Cabinet. On Thursday last, intelligence
reached this city OF death fthe youngest, Hon.
John e. Dobbin, of n. C., Secretary of the Ma
Wy, under the late Administration. He died at
Fayetteville n. c., on the 4thinst., of Consump.
ton, in the 43d year of his age. Mr.. d. had
filled several important political positions in his
State, and at one time, in 1915, occupied seat
in Congress. He was much esteemed, both in
public and private life.
The result Of the Southern elections is regar-
ded here as a triumphant endorsement of the
policy Of the Administration. Certain it is that
the Democracy have achieved a glorious victory
They have gained four, perhaps five, members
Of Congress in Kentucky one in Alabama
(Which gives them the entire deIegation) and
elected their Governor in Missouri over the COM
bined vote of the Know Nothings and Benton
men. VIII not the Democracy of the North
follow the glorious example set by their south
ern brethren? B.
