The technicalties of the law often make courts,

FREE NEGRoEs.-Free negroes are getting to be
very unpopular institution, andwe have no hesitation
in predicting that the present movement in many OF
the States tor their expulsion return to slavery
will continue until such misnomer as free negro
will be known to exist. We learn from the Missou-
ri Democrat that the bill which has been under dis
cussion in the Legislature to exclude free negroes
from that State has passed This bill also prevents
emancipation. 1t passed the House by eighty eight
ayes to twenty-nine nays, an evidence Of unaEmity
which does not look as if Missouri was going to abo
ish slavery" has been so grandiloquently talked
about by the Abolitionists of this section
The Legislature of Arkansas has also Just passed
a bill to expel free negroes from that State They
have until January, 1861 to dispose of their prop
erty, and make other arrangements for leaving. If
they do not 60 then, it is made the duty of Shers
to seize them and hire them out to highest bidder
for one year, giving them the net proceeds of their
labor to enable them to leave the State. This bill
provides that such free negroes desire to remain
may choose masters-the County Court having them
appraised and the master mistress they have cho
sen paving half their value into the Common School
fund of the county.
Maryland, aState more wofuy cursed by free negro
ism than any other the Union is also discussing
important subject. There are in some single rural
counties in Maryland more free negroes than in all
the New England States and being idle and nom
producing, they are severe tax upon the industry
of the whites. We have no doubt Maryland will
follow the example of her sister States and abate the
nuisance. Ignorant and deluded people may sup
pose that the legislation we refer to- is dictated by
hatred to the negro. Nothing however, could be
further from the truth than this view of the
1t is for the negroes best interests to be provided
with master, and it would actually be one of the
most conspicuous acts of humanity which the nine
teenth century could witness if every free negro in
the United States were thus provided for. 1t would
save him and his progeny from that inevitable ex-
tinction which is sure to be his fate when left to
COPE without masters protection. with the supe
lior energy and will of the white man.-N. Y. Day

SPAIN AND CUBA.-Recently, in the Spanish Cham
Der of Deputies call having been made for the pro-
ducon of the papers relative to the negotiations be-
tween the United States, France and England for
the acquisition of Cuba to America
"The Minister of Foreign Affairs replied that some
deputies had expressed desire to the administra-
ton of Cuba improved and the President of the United
States expressed the same wish. The opinion of the
President was, that Spain Gid not administer Cuba
WELL and that the United States on account of their
higher intelligence had moral duty to fulfil which
was to purchase the island The Government could
not allow this idea about Cuba to remain uncontra-
dicted. All Governments had labored to improve
the condition of that island and the present Cabinet
has been constantly occupied with measures calcu-
lated to give the inhabitants of the slaEd the share
they ought to possess in their internal administra-
ton, without compromising the ties which unite
them to the mother country.
The best reply to the representations of certain
orators of the United States was the prosperity of
the island of Cuba. That the question of the acqui-
sition of the island was imposing and menacng
could not be denied Nevertheless the Government
declared that it felt all the security which its great
national resources were calculated to inspire 1t
had not however rendered insult for insult as that
would probably have aggravated the question. 1t
had conducted itself with prudence and dignity and
had pot applied for assistance to any other Power
If any other foreign Power had offered assistance
the Government would have felt grateful, but it
would not have accepted of it, because it did not
think any aid was necessary. AS no diplomatic
documents existed on the question: which happily
was almost terminated, the Government hoped NJ
Badia would be satisfied with the explanations given
and withdraw the motion"

MIR. Eyerett,s OratiOn.

On Thursday evening last the citizens of this city
and>vcinity enjoyed the great privilege of hearing
Edward Everetts celebrated grafton on the life and
character of WASHINGTON. 1t does not happen twice
in generation that we have the opportunity of
hearing such man on such theme. tits an event
in ones life like seeing Niagara or visiting St. Peters.
AS it is understood that the eloquent orator does
not desire any such notice of his Grafton as might
tend to dull the public interest where has not been
heard we shall purposely avoid the mention of any
one of the many beautiful images and striking sug-
gestions with which it abounded.
After felicitous alluson to the circumstances
by which he was surrounded the orator entered on
his theme, taking rapid historical glance at our
early colonial history and The events in the ante
revolutionary life Of WASHINGTON, which foreshad-
owed his future greatness. He then briefly reviewed
the state of Europe at the Ieriod of revolston
airy conflict, and gave graphic outline of the rise
ana growth of several of the leading powers of the
Old World. Having passed in review the principal
men and events of the 18th century, he affirmed in
opposition to the paradoxical statement of Carlyle
the greatness of that age, not merely in the number
and Importance of its scientific discoverics-in the
success of Ismechanca applications ofscicntfc prn-
cples ard in the general progress Of all the arts
which adotn and eXat human life but in the great
ness of its individual men, and in the importance of
the events which took place in it. He then compar-
ed the Father of his country with the most illustr
GUS men of ancient and modern times, and eloquent
ly vindcated his claims to peerless greatness.
After most mastery analysis of the elements of
true greatness, he showed that the common impress
sion that WASHINGTON was wanting in genius, arose
from shallow and mistaken apprehension of what
genius is, or a gross pcrverson of the term.
The moral lessons enforced in this address with
such matchlcss ability, were especially adapted to
correct most pernicous errors into which the young
peculiarly prone to fall. The discourse closed
with appeal in behalf of the Union, which thrill
ed every heart.
This great Grafton has rarely been addressed to
appreciative audience, embracing an unusual
number of the most enlightened and eminent men in
the State. Such indeed, is its extraordinary excel
lcEce, that it cannot be adequately appreciated by
any other than thoughtful and intelligent persons
The views which it so happily presents profound
! and novel. The language, though rich and striking
/ is simple and chaste. The elocution, though ANNA
ted and graceful is without vulgar vehemence an,
theatrical trickery. We think that apart from tn
praiseworhy object to which his patriotic labors ar
devoted, that Mr.. Everett is doing much valuable
good by the general diffusion of solid knowledge
sound principles and noble sentiments.
