JUSTICE TO THE NAVY.

Few legislative sots Of the last Congress gave
more general satisfaction 70 the country than that
which provided for Increasing she pay Of Army ON
GERS to figures corresponding to some extent with
the increased price Of subsistence, and almost every
thiag else, which money may purchase We have
not only heard Of no complaint on the part Of the
people, who though opposed to eHtraVagant salaries
for their public officers, jet hold to the MAXIM that
the laborer is worthy Of his hire, but the act
appears to have been cordially approved in all quar-
ters Of the country.
The very same good reasons which Justihed the
increase Of the Army pay, exist in favor Of iaoreas
ing the pay Of officers Of the Navy, and ever since
the commencement Of the present Congress We have
been looking with no little anxiety for movement
in favor Of this just measure.
lis an erroneous opinion, too prevalent at Wash
ipgton, that the people Of the interior States who
necessarily see 50 little Of the Navy, disinclined
to sustain it literally and disposed to favor the
army alone. They know how essential TO our widely
extended commerce is the maintenance Of naval
force to bear our flag round the world and protect
the rights and interests Of citizens in distant
countries. They know that officers who are sp-
pointed 10 do this are compelled to leave their fam
Lies and their homes for years together, are e1-
posed to all the vicisstudes Of sver-chsngng eli
mates and are expected to entertain on board their
ships in the interchange Of national oiviites, when
extended by public officers Of other nations on for
sien stations and knowing this, the people Of the
West as well as those upon our sesbOard, are more
than willing to increase the navy pay to the same
extent Of the increase already afforded to that Of
the army.
We believe it is about twenty years since the pay
Of navy officers was fixed a. its present rates.
Within that period everything that contributes to
personal support has increased in value not less
than thirty per cent. It stands to reason, there.
fore, that if eur country would be liberal
it was twenty years ago. it should make provision for
Increasing their pay in the same ratio. 1t was
about to that extent that the army pay was in
creased ast year; and since it works 50 well in
arm Of our national defence, we no coed rea-
son Why it should not be adopted in the other.
And since it has been done for the army we ask
it as q measure Of simple justice to the navy.

TIE OLD sEonr.-ws clip the following from ,

The OLD sTORY.-We clip the following from
Virginia paper:
"a free negro man named Ned Smith, who was
reared in HenricO county, left Virginia. few months
since TO take up his residence in Massachusetts but
after residing there three months has returned 10
his native State and declares that he would rather
be sold into slavery than forced live in the North
as a free man The Richmond Dispateh states that
Ned gives a gloomy description Of the condition Of
such free negroes and runaway slaves as he became
acquainted WITH and he declares that he will never
leave the old Commonwealth again unless forced to
do so. He has no doubt that many runsways would
gladly return to their masters if they were afraid
Of being sen: further South"
There is no doubt more truth than poetry about
Neds story, for the lot of the free negro fugitive
from Southern bondage, upon reaching the North,
is by means enviable. White labor is superb
bundsnt all over the free States, and viii not toer
ate cOmpaniOnship Of the black. Moreover, very
few of the plantation hands ofthe Souhare scquaint

WAsHIEGTos, April 26.-The bill which Mr.. Quit
man endesyored to introduce into the House to-day,
sets forth that it is unwise uupolitic and nnips ~
existing States, premsturely and hastily to admit
new States, thereby unduly stimulating occupation
Of distant and vacant territories by forced and I'M
natural emigration, for political, partizan and Sec
tional purposes, producing strife and discord be-
tween the different portions of the Union and lead
ing to corrupt political combinations in Congress
Ia order to correct these evils, and give timely no.
tice Of the line Of policy which will hereafter be
pursued, the bill provides that no new States be
admitted into the Union until it is ascertaned bv
census taken by authority of Congress, that the
territory asking admission contains populatiop
sufficient for Representative in Congress- to hold
Convention, frame a Constitution, and present the
same for admission.
