Wages in the slave and Free States.

One of the arguments of the Abolitionists
against slavery is, that it degrades thu. whites
Of the South and reduces the price and the
demand for white labor. In recent speech

johnson, Of Tennessee, presented table pre-

The Southern Conference viii meet with or
without Virginia, on the 4th day Of July, 1850,
at the cityof Atlanta The Charleston nomi-
alton will have been made, and the conferences
will be able to consider the prospect Of political
parties, as well as discuss questions Of political
power. Virginia, by AN act Of fatal folly, may
have no voice in that conference to persuade
its members, no influence to control its deliber-
atoms, but the cotton States, acting for them
selves, and by themselves, win most certainly
meet To Whist decision they win come, no
earthly power can say.

Samuel Smith, Cotton Broker, Of LivszpOsl,
in IN elaborate review Of the cotton trade
during last year and careful examination
into the probable requirements Of the trade for
the present year, comes to the conclusion that
the supply for 1850 promises to be fully equal,
probably little in excess, Of the cOnsump,
ton; but If trade continues in healthy and
prosperous state, which there is every appear
ancs Of its doing, and politics remain settled,
there is no warrant for any important depar-
ture from the basis Of price that was main
tanned last year. He says:
during the next few months, when an un-
usually large proportion Of the supply win
reach this port a rather lower scale Of PISCES
may seem justified; In the latter half of
the year, the prospects d the next crop viii
be watched with much anxiety, for after the
occurrence Of two uncommonly large crups.

SLIPPERY PEoPLE.--There is class Of
people who resemble eels in their manner
of going through life. They are your
smooth people who slip through your
hand when you attempt to catch them,
and leave YOU wondering how they could
have escaped. The hand of morals, law
or right fails to hold them, and yet they
seem to recognise th em all. A bargain
with such men always results in their
gain; there is some loop left for tkem to
hang an advantage upon; something that
will rebound to their particular glorifca.
ton or profit. They are splendid mana
gers Of benevolent institutions; occupy
high places in the moral world-for such
arc not those men who get caught; and
if they get caught, they manage to slip
through are great mortgager's, lend mon
ey on the right sort of security, and nev.
er lose, and whichever way they fall they
light all right. "hey are politicians, and
always n ansge to be on the winning side.
In life they are unexcepLionable, with
characters excellent But they are slip

them as men may, in their short sighted
ness, and they wriggle through to the
end, the veil will be lifted and the time
that tries all do justice to them.
