done with the negroes? The President re-

negroes were sent back to Africa, by an

Ten Years.

The changes which have taken place
between 1850 and 1850 in the economic
condition of our country are very great.
In that period the gold mines have been
discovered in California and Australia.
In lS40 we had 81 paper circulation to
81 of specie; in 1850, only 3 to |; in
1860, less than 2 to /. In l849, the pro-
duet of precious metals was 500, 900, 900:
in 1859 it was 1854 900, 900! The whole
amount now in the world is estimated
at SO, 600, 600, 600, of which six-tenths
are silver. 1t was always supposed
that a sudden increase in the quantity
of money increases prices. This has
not proved true; for, in spite of the in
ilux of gold, and in spite of the repeal
of the English corn laws, which has en-
abled us to export immense quantities
of flour and grain, prices in general arc
lower, and wages higher, than they ever
were before. Tables show that prices
generally, during forty years, we're
highest i'll 1881, and lowest about l843.
Flour was so scarce III 1887, that we
imported s.. goo, 900 worth; its average
price. for forty years, has been Sc 81
per barrel. The sale Of tea has increased
in % years from Is, 200, 600 to sc, 000,-
GOO lbs; the average price for that per-
iod has been IS cents. The cotton crop
has increased in 40 years from $50, 000-
600 lbs. to l,S00, 000, 900 lbs. A great
demand for brcadstuffS from 1850 to '57,
occaSioncd by railway labor, and there
peal of the British corn laws, kept prices
generally on the advance; but in '57, on
account of the abundant crops, the
s%lackcning Of the shipping and railway
interest, and a glutted cotton market,
a downward tendency prevailed. Prices
don't seem generally to be affected by
the fluctuations of paper currency. In
lS49, the bank note circulation was
81 10, 000, 900; in 1852, $l73, 600, 900; in
March 1853, it was 1920, 600, 900, short
ly after which it rose Sl56, 000, 900. The
balance of trade in favor of the United
States, in the last ten years is $62, 05S,-
SS4, although our coffee, tea and sugar,
cost us $40, 000, 900 annually. The CON
sumption of coffee in 1884 was 8 lbs per
head; it is now 8 lbs. per head. Our
exports of breadstuffs from 1850 to 80,
were $3.50, OOO, 600.

who had been three years setting type

mathematics and arithmetic with a dip

reached Annapolis, and on being asked
how he obtained the means to reach An

We joyfuly believe that the country is
gradually acquiring a just and adequate
conception of the malign influence exert
ed by the Slave Power upon its character
its reputation, its treatment Of its neigh
bors, and All its great moral and materiai
interests. In few years more, we be-
lieve it will be ready to elect as its Presi-
dent a man who not only sees but pro-
claims the whole truth in this iespect-in
short, such man as Gov. Seward. We
have certainly doubted its being yet so
far advanced in its political education rs
to be ready to choose for President one
who looks the Slave Oligarchy square in
the eye and says, "Know me as your

Douglas was nominated unless he would
accept strong pro-slavery platform,and
pledge himselfto the policy pleasing to
them. Why this opposition to him =
Simply because the South fear that he is
not sufficiently devoted to the Slave IN
terest. 1t is because the Democratic par
ty is the ally and supporter of Slavery
and its leaders are determined that 1T
shall be nothing else.
The South is imperious, and if Mr..
Douglas secures the nomination, he will
have to step upon platform, where
many of his Northern friends will not
stand. There is no alternative for him.
We do not believe he will hesitate to
take this step, if by SO doing he can Sc
cure the nomination. We do not believe
any convictions Of duty or loyalty to
Freedom will stand in his way. "He
does not recognize morally in politics in
the slightest degree; makes no account of
it; never appeals to conscience, and in
effect despires and scounts its authority"
For this reason men do not trust him.
But whatever, the result may be, whoever
that Convention may put forward as
standard bearers in the coming Conflict,
careful, reasoning Democrats cannot fail
to see that Slavery is inscribed on their
banner and that the fight is in its service,
and victory will be its gain. We must
however, except from this charge of SER
vice to the Slave interests portion OF the
leading Democrats, who care not ftp
for Freedom or Slavery, bus follow the
the party from motives of greed, and
fight for victory, thatthey may share in
the.,spoils.
