THE QUID PRO QUO.

The Mississippi and Louisiana iurnals are dis
cussing the opinions set forth by Senator Dopola,
IN his recent speech at New Orleans. Several o
'hose prints during the Illinois convass, denounced
MN In no measured language for suggesting thu
properiy'framed territorial laws might, in the in
teress of Free State men, neutralize the effect o
the doctrine OF popular sovereignty, and the Dtet
Scott decision pushed by Slave. State men. The,
are, TO use Mr. .Choate's fine phrase, "alleviatinr tn,
asiorities' OF their speech. 1t is not difficult I,
see why His doctrine Of manifest destiny ("it il
our duty to have Cuba. and you cannot prevent i
1t you try") is the guild pro quo. The bait seem,
to have been sreedily swallo wed in some instances
at least. Barksdale's Mssissippian is yieorousl,
recalcitrant. 1t asserts that the persons who nav,
made the applause for Douglas in his Southern
journey are bankrupt politicians, disappointed Of
fec seekers, adventures Of every kind, sensation

forth, with less shIewdness than clearness. botl
the quid and the quo:
From this triumphant vindication of the inner
ishable doctrine Of State Rights, and from this ex
plicit nunciation of the true American progressiv,
rolicy, we might turn and give a dissertation OF
those views entertained by Senator Douglas, as t,
the effects which he supposes might follow the re
fusal or neglect Of tho people Of a Territory, or o
their legislators, to pass local laws in such Terri

THE REVIVED SLAVE TRADE.

1t seems now to he very clearly substan tiated
that the slave trade has been revived in the South.
ern states. Tho testimony of the physician who
attended the negroes on Jekyl Island, that they
seemed to be lust imported from Africa, and did
not understand a word of English, leaves no
doubt as to the nature Of the means by which they
were introduced into the country. All tho &C.
counts that we hear from the neighborhood at
which the human cargo was said to have been
landed, agree in this respect, that they are raw
hands from Africa, nor do we perceive that the
authenticity of these accounts has been denied in
any quarter, save in the Times of this city, which,
by this time, is probably cured of its incredibly.
The fuccess Of this adventure will probably
lead to other enterprises in the same line OF com,

than has distinguished the traffic in slaves from
Africa. The southern journals say truly that the
opportunities which Il slave ship has o { putting its
cargo ashore along the mighty line Of coast below
the chesapeake are such. that all the ships of war
belonging to the United States could not suppress
the trade, without the aid Of a public sentiment
hostile to it.
1t is fortunate that there is an interest, even
among tho upholders of slavery, which is adverse
to the revival Of the slave trade. The slave buy.

groes the slave. breeder. on the contrary, would
be glad to keep competitors out of the market

and have no occasion either to sell OF to buy, find

We learn from reliable authority that about two
hundred and seventy of the wild Africans, a por.
ton of the cargo Of the Wanderer, are now on a
plantation in South Carolina. two or three miles
below this city, on the Savannah River, having
been brought shery two days ago on board a
steamboat from some point near Savannah and
we suppose will soon be offered for sale. Indeed
we are informed that sales have already been
made Of the cargo.
The success of this enterprise by the owners of
thu Wanderer, establishes the fact very conclusive
ly, that if the southern people desire or intend to
suppress this traffic. they must rely upon them.
selves, as a reliance upon the government will be
of little avail. The coast of the slavsbolding
states is so extensive that the entire navy OF the
United States. if concentrated upon it, cannot
maintain the Law inaiolate. Hence the great ne
eessity for the prompt and efficient action of the
people themselves, to protect their aights and in.

and all legitimate means to arrest at once and for.
ever a traffic so disastrous. IL permitted, to the

FAILURE TO CONNECT ON THE UYpERcRouNp R.,r.
RUNAWAY NEGROES CAPTuRrp-A dov
or TWO ago one or two parties called at the office of
the United States Marshal, in this city, to obtain
concerning the negro slaves that had
run away from Mason county, Ky. a few nights
previous, and were nowhere to be found. I, ,vos
supposed they had come here, and were concealed
in this vicinity bu. while plans we're formed for
recovering the fugitives, intelligence was received
Of their capture a, n point near home.
1t appears that a free negro woman, residing in
thie State, on the Ohio river, nearly opposite Mavs,

leave their master had, indeed, influenced thar
minds with n desire for freedom, and taught them
the best means OF escape. They were to come. at
a certain hour of the night, to a certain point on
the river, where the woman's husband was to he

her personal aid to the enterprise.
The boat and the man were there, but the ne.

CRIME AMONGST OUR CotoRED popU,

FIRST Metropolitan Police Report" in which the
total number of arrests" is stated to have been

"t those arrested )" it is added, "among these were
900 colored persons"
Now since tho colored people are so frequently
'Poken OF as n degraded and vicious portion Of our
Populahon' 1t is natural to inquire into the COM
pnrative number of arrests Of colored persons for
crime, in proportion to the relative number or tho
white and colortd population of our city. bovo

er. But in The census of 1890. n. 27S. the wli,es
are stated to be sol. 732 the colored, 1856: TO-.
tai, 5l5,5l7. This, il | mistake not, shows TIM,
the c0lored people, at that time were about 2.6S
per cent. Of the entire population.
Assuming that the present population doee not
greatly vary from that of 1850. the colored troplo
would compare favorably with the whites, in 1857,
g, f2,GS per cent, uf the arrests should have
been from among them. But, if | figure correct
