a GREAT HIsroRIcAI FAor.-There il
one stern, undeniable historical TACT.
which completely destroys all the points
urged for argument and made IN bebslf
otthe republican, organization The sola
mission claimed Tor that party is that; t,;z
necessary TO prevent the extension ri
slavery into Tree territory. Now. in res
lply, the records of our country prove that
from the time this government was organ
lied down 10 the present not mile OF iree-
territory was ever conyertealinto sIayeyy 81.
On the contrary, the amount of slave ,er-
ritory in ! 100 comprised nne>tensbs Of
the Union. phree- quarters OF il are now
free. There was then bat one free State
to twelve slave. There are nov seven.
teen free States to fifteen slave States
The difference is soon To be increased bv
the Omission OF Kansas and Oregon. thus. ~
making nineteen &c, fifteen. The United &
States, it is true. have acquired Louisiana
Florida, and Texas, but slavery zexisletsfy
now if they had not been aa ded to us. X
seems astonishing when the. republicans
have written so much about slavery eS. 8
tension into free territory that there has. Pc
never been an instance ofitin our history
Yet such is the fact Immense encroach.ige
ments. however. have been made by free
Institutions upon slavery. u..f; st SEQ IA4.. Ii

"a MoRE AMEk1cAS HoRsEss FOR THE
IFRENou EMPERoR.-Some time since we
gave an account ofstwo American horses
Of the Morgan breed, which were sent in
the Vanderbilt TO France, aud which {,
were to be added to the carriage stud Of
the French Emperor. To-day the Arisl
will take three more horses Of the same
breed to France. who will share with their
predecessors the honor. if ii is one, Of II,
whirling their Imperial Majesties through
the streets of Paris. This shows that
Louis Napoleon must have been pleased
with his former purchases. The horses
were bought through the agency Of ex.
Alderman Underwood. of this city, the
same party who forwarded the other hor.
ses. Two OF the animals were. produced
near Boston, and one in MontpeIisr.'yt.
One of the animals is of brown color;ethei Il
span is of light color. They weigh from
eleven to twelve hundred each. aud are.
in all respects, creditable specimentsl of
the equin family. iRs -s. begar
The prices Of these animals has not
transpired. but it is no doubt royal, If not
imperial. A span Of the Morgan breed
have brought as high as Sc, 5oo.-N. Y.
