nea-The Richmond papers contain full
accounts of an inquest upon the body of
a man, named William Ennis, whose death,
it was supposed, had resulted from barbal
ous treatment received by him from the
officers Of the bark Octavia which arrived
at that port on Monday last from Rio de
Janeiro. The testimony presents series
Of atrocities, which would disgrace bar
barous age. The jury of inquest returned
a verdict attributing the death of Ennis to
the beating and starving received IN the
high seas from the captain and mates of
the bark Octavia."

.Y4 The Harvest Moon, as one moon between
August 23d and October 10th is called every
year, from its rising several successive nights
soon after sunset, and serving to lengthen the
day for the benefit of the reaper, has been giving
us some of the finest evenings that will be had
this year. For six days the rising of this moon
varies daily, and as will be observed, serves
very much to retard the darkness and prolong
the day. The July moon was one of unusual
interest, and the same will be true of the Sep

the fair orb that rules them.

The Rule of the Minority.

The argument that the minority are response
BILE for the acts of the majority is favorite one
with the democrats, who find it easier to sup
port even this paradox than to defend their own
policy. Since the democrats have been charged
with first asserting the clear and unquestionable
right of the United States to the whole of Ore
gon and then of abandoning that claim and Civ
ing up to the British strip of territory over
three hundred miles in width, they have claim.
ed that the Wings were responsible for this sur
render, inasmuch as they voted against the claim
so pretentiously put forth But this dodge, in
explanation Of their surrender of Oregon, will
not work. The record makes this line of argu-
ment doubly ridiculous, inasmuch as it shows
not only that the minority were powerless, but
that leading men among them offered to sustain
the administration in the pretensions which it
so loudly assisted and tamely abandoned.
In 1916, when this surrender was made the
democrats had large majority in both Houses
of Congress. That partyhad thepower to shape
the committees, and determine the character of
the national legislation. The executive was on
its side and the entire patronage of the general
government was used to further the interests
and carry the measures of the party. Upon the
democracy, then, devolved the entire response
bility of the dishonorable backing down of the
government from its high-sounding and re-ite-
rated declarations. How little honesty there
was in this yain-gorious party and how few OBJ
stacles were placed in its way, may be learned
from an article in another column, which we
copy from the Albany Erening Journal, giving
the history of the manner in which this claim
was made only to be abandoned.
The petty echo, in this vicinity, of admins
tration sneezes, has. been trying this same style
of defence not only for the surrender Of Oregon
but for the enormous extravaganza of the gov
eminent 1t is true that all these heavier APP
preparations, and, in some important instances,
even larger ones, were asked for by the admin
istration it is true they were reported by COM
mttees, all in the hands of the friends of the
administration it is true they were passed by
both Houses of Congress, in each of which the
majority is democratic it is true that all these
bills received the assent OF the II vsiten. !.
the embodiment Of democratic notions of econ
omy; but the responsibility of them, says the
l.lrquS. is not with the administration, not with
the democrats, but with the Republicans with
the minority 1t is only by such logic that the
present administration can be defended.

A SOUTHERN OPINION OF OUR NoRTHrRS ana
TINAL" MEN.-The Richmond South, one of the lead
ing organs Of southern opinion, said last winter -
I'VE have no confidence in any man north of Mason
and Dixons line. They cannot be our friends and be
honest The interests of the two sections antag-
onistic. The northern man who goes ftSour interests
necessarily goes against the interests of the North
his country; and We can have confidence in Il trail
tor no matter how high his price"
There can be but little doubt that the opinion
expressed by the Richmond South concerning
the antagonistic relations between northern and
southern interests, is fully coincidedein by the
majority of those who mould and direct public
sentiment in the Southern States. With that
class servile labor forms the basis and super
structure of their prosperity. In the two rela-
tons of master and slave they find the highest
form of human development. With Slavery for
mud-sills they erect their social fabric, and its
permanence depends altogether upon the sta
bility fthe foundation. Whatever tends to the
perpetuity and extension of this institution adds.
in the opinion of these men, to the present well
fare and future prosperity of the slave holding
States.
At the North different estimate is placed
upon the comparative value of free and slave
labor. The unexampled growth, development,
and prosperity of the free States is believed to
be mainly owing to the recognition of the doc
trine laid down by our revolutionary fathers,
"tnat all men are created free and equal" To
the practical application of this principle are we
indebted for the most vital elements of our
growth and strength. Setting aside all ques-
tons of ethics and morals we at the North are
fully convinced that free, educated labor is more
remunerative and better calculated to promote
the happiness of all classes of community than
slave labor. In this respect the interests of the
North and the interests of the South are direct
ly antagonstic.
Equally true it is that when an intelligent
northern man goes for the curtailment of free
labor and the extension of slave labor, he is
acting against the interests of his own section
of the country. He is then engaged in cru
SADIE against those very principles which have
made 1t powerful and prosperous, and which, if
defeated or obstructed will blight and inure it.
Judging by the rules usually recognized as an
pEcable to human conduct such man must in
the language of the South, be considered trail
tor, an enemy to his country. All honest men
whether at the North or the South cannot re-
gard him in any other light.
The South places just estimate on the SER
vices and conduct of those northern democrats
who, for the pitiful mess of executive pottage
with which they are fed, have been willing 70
force upon Kansas an institution so entirely re-
pugnant to the material interests of not only that
territory but to those of all the free States and
its judgment will stand as that of all honest men
everywhere

10 The Washington Union and the ALBANY
Argus unite in the declaration that if the Peo-
pie OF Kansas refuse to ratify the Lecompton
Constitution, they should not and will not be
admitted into the Union until they have pop
ulation of $4,000, or, in other words, popula-
ton fully equal to the ratio of representation.
II is not certain that there will be so large a
population in that Territory before 1860 or
1861 and by that time there will be new APP
portonment, under new census which will
probably run up the ratio of representation to
10000 or 100000. SO that, by the rule laid
down by these organs of the Administration,
Kansas may be kept out of the Union, if she
persists in her determination to have Free
Constitution, for ten years to come!
But she is graciously told by these journals,
that II she will accept Slavery she may at once
take her place among the sovereign States of
the Union with population of only 33,OOOi

SLAYER CAPTURED.-The seizure of SLAYER
by United States vessel is rare event. But
it is true that the L. $. brig Dolphin, Lieut. J.
Y Maiiit commanding, captured a brig off Sa-
qua Ia Grande with 3lS slave on board. on the
22nd ult The name of the brig as given is
Echo, but she is supposed to be the Putnam of
Boston. We gather the following particulars
from the Troreiir:-
AT daylight the Dolphin discovered sail
ahead, standing on the same course as the Dol
phin, which gained on her very rapidly during
the day. At =. NJ, the sail ahead hauled on
the wind, as If trying to get out ofthe Dolphin's
course. which caused her to be considered sus-
picious craft. The Dolphin tackled and stood
of in pursuit, hosting English colors. and fred
a blank cartridge. which not being answered by
the other vessel, another was fired at halfpast
4 p. NJ, and this also being unnoticed. at ) p.
NJ. she fired shot across the bows of the sus-
pected vessel, which had the effect of causing
her to display the American flag at her peak,
but she still continued on her course and seem
cd to be making her best cndeavors to escape.
when well-drected shot from the Dolphin took
effect in her rigging, causing her to heave to
and lower her colors.
On sending boat on board, she proved TO
be brig from the African coast with three
hundred and eighteen negroes
Her crew were instantly confined, and the
prize placed in charge of Lieut. j. NJ Bradford
and Second Lieut.. Charles c. Carpenter, and
sixteen men from the Dolphin, with orders to
proceed to Charleston, S. c.
The last accounts from Charleston state that
the Africans on board the Putnam had been
placed in quarantine. The Dolphin, with the
officers of the slave vessel on board had sailed
for Boston.
