white Negro slavery in virginia.

American slavery is no respecter Of color,

been carried by the amalgamation of mas
tor aud their ehattles. Blood alone tells,
aud the scent Of the sic uih-hound is not more
Keen than the slave dealer in detecting sps
slightest African admixture. A fresh case IN
point
At Lewisburg, Va, the town was recent
ly thrown into some commotion by the ar
rival in its midst of two slave hunters in pur-
suit Of man, whom, they had been inform
ed, had been living in Lewisburg for some
iour years. marrying white woman, and
now the father of two children. The Lewis
burg paper says;-The man was found and
claimed by the parties in pursuit as slave.
He acknowledged the charge to be true, and
was accordingly tied and taken away to one
Of the adjoining counties, from which, it is
said, he made his escape. Well might his ar
rest create some excitement for it Is shid that
he has lived amongst the people as a white
citizen, eaten, slept partaken of the hospital
ity extended 70 white men, and also deposited
his vote at the ballot box time and again, and
SO far as tie color Of his skin was concerned,
we presume would hardly have been taken as

Mr.. Charles +. Watson, of Rochester, N.

Alexandra Railroad. BE states that being
in Alexandra on the 9Th Of April last, he
held a conversation with negro on the
wharf Walter Penn, the jailor at Alexan-
dria7 saw him and asked him what he was
doing. Watson answeredv very naturally that
it was none Of his business, that he proposed
to talk with whom he pleased. The jailor
raised q posse and took him before the Mayor,
who ordered him to give bail in $3.50 or 90
to jail. To jail he was sent, and kent inear-
eerated from the 9th of April till the 4tb of
June. He was tainted with supposed con-
nection with 'old John Brown" ," and charged
with eonversing with a negrol He was taken
before an Alderman and the Mayor, who
gave Watson fatherly advice on the subject
of talking with colored citizens of Virginia,
assured him that he could be sent to the pen

done or for what he was suspected of doing, but
with astonishing magnanimity they concluded
to let him 90 free aher two months Virginia

The votes of censure, in the House upon
the Pesident aad Secretary of the Navy for
the corruptions prevalentin the Navy Depart
ment and carried on with their knowledge
and approval, convey most stinging febuke
to those individuals. The vote was two to
one-an overwhelming condemnation in q
House that was able to elect Republican
Speaker after nine weeks struggia by the
bare majority of one. No President was ever
before so rebuked; and if James Buchanan
and his cabinet had the least particle Of self
respect they would resign instantly upon the
rendering of such verdict against them. In
any other government than ours they would
not be permitted to hold Office an hour after
such vote Ofcensure. The Washington cor
FsspOn lent of the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can says:
"The vote of censure yesterday, upon the
President and Secretary of the Navy, by the
House Of Representatives, is the sternest re
buke ever administered during our whole his

such as is familiar in the British Parliaments,
but positive, unqualified and Overwhelming
condemnation, conceived in the strongest
terms, and affecting the official honor and in
tegrity Of both the parties implicated. The
resolutions declare that the Secretary Of the
Navy made contracts for live oak timber, in
violation of law and in an improper manner,
injurious to the public service. That the
distribution of patronage in the Navy Yards
among members of Congress was corrupting
in its influence; and that the President and
Secretary Of the Navy, by awarding contracts
to operate on pending elections, set a dan
geroua example deserving the reproofof the
House. DGti
These resolutions were passed by a vote of
nearly two to one, and by southern as well
as northern representatives. Many demo-
crats solicited pairs, in order to escape the
record Of an approving vote, and a few went
directly against the Administration. Men of
all parties are recorded in the Affirmative

No member of the British Ministry would
remain an hour in office if the House of
Commons should express emphatic disagree
ment with its political policy. But if his
integrity shonld be impeached by solemn
expression, such as was given last night, he
would be apt to hide his head in shame
or demand an inquiry by which his inno-
cence might be established if he felt himself
wronged Neither of these alternatives will
be adopted here. The attractions of Office
are superior to any sentimental ideas of public

Important from Utan.

It was recently reported by telegraph that
Brigham Young proposes to sell out Utah to
the General Government. Former reports,
somewhat similar in import, proved inbound
ed, and the probability is that the present is
mere report, though the St. Louis Democrat
of the 18th, makes the following announce
ment: aC
Capt. Gibson passed through this city on
Saturday on his way to Washington, as bear
er of important dispatches from Utah to the
General Government. We understand these
dispatches embrace propositions from Brig
ham Young, to sell out the Mormon property
at Salt Lake city and vicinity to the United
States, the saints to eYacuate the Territory
and remove TO some point on the Pacific
coast, either in the British possessions or with
in the boundaries of the United States, where
they will establish new home for themselves
and followers. .a..-
There is no doubt that Brigham Young is
Induced to take this course, by the recent
heavy emigration to Pixies Peak, and the
rapid extension of the power of the gentiles
towards the immediate neighborhOod of the
prophets dominions. The. documents which
Capt. Gibson has in his possession, will, no
doubt shortly be made public.

Although we deny that this theoryis ap-
plicable to the case we have been considering,
it must be conceded that Greeley's expert
ence furnishes most telling illustration of
the official neglect to which journalists are
consigned in this country. The press isnot re-
cognized in the government as we abundantly
proved two weeks ago; but this cannbt last,
for the press undoubtedly makes and u1makes
public men-Presidents, Senator's and mem
bers ofCongress; and taken as class, editors
are better versed in politics than any other
class. They will therefore assert their power
sooner or later. The literati of France, the
encyclopedias, created the Revolution, and
American journalists can revOlutionKe and
reorganize the political parties of the country
whenever they resolve to do so. Indeed, it is
the resistance of the established orders to an
UPRISING class in its efforts to reach that place
in the social and political world which it is
destined to occupy, which makes revolution
possible. The middle classes were not re-
cognized in England until they had over
thrown the feudal form of society. When
ever new power emerges from the bosom of
society, it will make room for itself in spite
of all obstacles, as certainly as the young oak
skaters the flower pot in which the acorn
was deposited In Europe they appreciate the
influence and capacities ofjournahsts far more
truly than in this free and enlightened Re-
public. Before France fell under the military
regime ofthe present Emperor, its real rulers
(Thiers and GuizOt) were chosen from the
ranks of the press, and to-dayin England one
of the Cabinet Ministers is the sostensible
editor of a dry weekly paper. We tell the
political parties ofeEery shade that they will
be compelled to let the press have a direct
share in the legislation and government of
the country. 3Il --L

Mr.. Greeley reveals an experience not un-
common among editOrs-many of whom are
the object Of cold neglect from those whose
characters they have made, and whose prefer
ment they have secured. Political aspirants
like to make editors tails to their kites, but
when success has been attained, too often for
get the power that made them.
The Ohio Statesman, 8 thoroughly partisan
paper that very seldom gives Mr.. Greeley
credit for anything but 'aboltionism," thus
speaks out:
The long talked-about letter of Greeley to
Seward, dissolving their political relations,
which we published yesterday, is not damag-
ing to Greeley. It is vivid recital of the
eold-blooded selfshness and heartless illber-
ality of Seward, and is the experience of hnn-
dreds of other editors, in city and country, in
the treatment they get from politicians whose
promotion they advance-and we are right
glad Mr.. Greeley has made the expose. Certain
members of the Ohio Legislature, last winter,
exhibited the same spirit so boldly prominent
in Seward, and endeaYored to cut off from
editors the small amount of profit Justly due
them for publishing the laws. And in al
most every county may be found ofice-hold-
ers who eat the bread and enjoy the ease of
offices, which they obtained through the ex-
ertiOns of their local editors, who gave them
the cold-shoulder as soon as elected; and
stintingly and begrudgingly give them the
least possible amount Of aid and comfort
through official patronage. An editor takes
the front rank in battle-he is a target for the
shots Of the enemy-and his toilsome days
and sleepless nights of head and hand work,
are too lightly appreciated by those most be-
neftted by his labors. Greeley has more man
hood than we usually gave him credit for, and
the manner in which he cut loose from Sew
ard will be spplauded by every editor in
the world.
The Cincinnati Times, an able and polii-
cally Independent journal, with force and per
tinence, says;
There is nothing unmanly in this letter Of
Mr.. Greeley. BE had a right to be remem-
bered by Mr.. Seward in the hey-day Of the
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1860-06-21

Viewing the letter from another stand
point, we think we are not mistaken in say
ing that it will find an echo in the heart Of
the people. 1t recounts the services and COM
plants of its author in modest and manly
style, and in somewhat saddened tole, re-
calling in a striking manner DR.. Jolnson's
celebrated letter to Lsrd Chesterfield.
What Of manner of men they wer who
were promoted over Greeley's head, rsaping
the fruits of the victories which he wOI, may
be Judged by his own description of item
"a swell mob of coon minstrels anC cider
suckers"
