The SLAYER Erie brought into New
York, having been captured off the AT
rican coast, had $40 negroes on board
the largest number ever taken from
a single SLAYER. She was only II hours
from Congo when taken The slaves
were all naked, and when rescued
jumped and shouted, clapped their
hands, and shouted for joy. The Erie
is described as a fine sailor. She was
finely fitted up, and had slave Golfers,
a sufficient quantity of water, vinegar
in casks placed fore and aft, to last 900
people for sixty days, and an exceed
ingly large quantity of rice, pork, beef.
farina, bread and peanuts. The hold
of the vessel was unusually neat, and
kept in excellent order. There was
less filth found in the ship than is usual
with sfavers, which was, perhaps, ow-
ing to the fact that large crew were
exclusively employed in preserving the
healthy condition of the vessel. The
sails are new and valuable. and could
not have been long in use.-Tri5urae.

A DIRTY Trick.-We received a few
days since from jackson, in this State letter en-
closed in an envelope, upon one corner of which
was likeness of Lincoln, but so mutilated by the
low partizan official in the Jackson postofice, by
striking his caneeling stamp the face, that it
would be exceedingly difficult to tell whose likeness
it was. When tits remembered that the Postotiice
department is sustained by revenues derived from
men of all parties. and is supposed to be maintained
for the benefit of the whole people, regardless Of
their political faith, all honorable men must pro-
nounce this piece of petty tyranny, which shows
a meanness that would be hard to beat. ~

A Sensible Speech by a Maryland Con.

SlCSshdMs
Henry Winter Davis speech in Bal
timore on Thursday evening was great
ly applauded by an immense audience.
He made an able defense of Mr.. Lin
coin, declaring his views on the extern
sion of slavery were precisely those of
Henry Clay. The Republicans, he
said, only wanted to prevent slavery
from going where it should not 60.
The "howl about disunion in case of
Lincoln's election was only an instance
of the game the Democracy have been
playing for many years." There was
no danger at all. He was willing to
do anything honorable to elect John
Bell, but not to give half vote to his
political opponents. Fusion aoo,1ld do
Bell no good If the Democrats really
believed Lincoln's defeat necessary to
the salvation of the Union, let them
vote for Bell, or agree to vote for Ever
EFT, in case the election goes to the
Senate. Then we might begin to be-
lieve they were in earnest. He thought
it unwise to send the election into the
House. There was time when, had
the election gone to the House, and
Lincoln been defeated, he believed eve
ry Republican State would have gone
for Bell; but the insane method of con-
Quoting the canvass has destroyed that
chance, and not single Republican
State would vote for Bell in the House.
