ly any slaves. improved lands are worth ifty-
three dollars per acre, whereas in Sussex
where the bulk OF the ~slavesin the State are
found, they are worth only from seven TO
eight. A part of the difference, We think.
is attributable to location in respect To mar
kets.
It was of Sussex county that the late
Senator CLAYTON said, in the last Congress.
that the people were as thoroughly Pro-
Slavery, as they are in South CaroiinI.
The News says:
"About three years ago, a band of three
hundred Swiss emigrants arrived in New
York, with all their arrangements made to
settle in Delaware. They were farmers,
with money to buy land; and hearing that
land was cheap in Delaware state settled
by their fathers-shey concluded to settle
there; but finding, on their arrival, thai Della
ware was g slave State, they passed US by,
settled in Ohio, and helped 10 augment the
wealth of That young giaBt of the Union"
The News proposes a remedy thus:
Now if the people of Delaware. at the
next session of the Legislature. viii pass an
act that, after the fourth of July, ali child
rem born or brought into the State shall be
free at the ages eighteen and tseniy-one, il
will give Delaware the character OF u free
State at once, affect no stakeholder serious
" ia his property, and bring down. into Kent
and Sussex a rush of emigrantz from the in
dusirEoss fEeemen OF the adjoining States.
Land here will at once command advanced
prices, and there will sprlng into being a.
mong US 4 spirit of enterprises TO which we
are yet strangers. We have thought innch
and long of ihis mstter, anu can show that
an act of the nature mentioned above voaid,

The Montgomery PIln referred the Lee

were to form a new constitution, and take a
vote upon it; when il il was approved. Kansas
became a State OF The Union without any

The main difference been4he two amend
