We invite particular attention to the extract from
Washingtons farewell address, which will be found on
first page If that American lives who doubts the
purity of motive disinterestedness and clear concep-
ton of this great man, he should cease to exist In
our last publication, gave similar extract from
Jackson'a farewell address-be was a democrat, and
his purity Of motive and love Of country, has never
been questioned by any true American It's true how
ever the democracy of the days Of Jefferson and Jack
son. il the democracy Of the present day In their
day. the love of iberty-the extension of the blessings
of this life to the masses and look with watchful eyes
upon every attempt steal power from the many and
bestowit upon the few, cardinal principles The
principle snow reversed. The aim now is to obtain
Office, pilfer from the government and the masses
as creatures as the planters use their beasts of burthen
To the oficeholders say nothing--from the float
ing crowds we expect nothing-but we do appeal to
the cultivators Of the so-the hardworking rnechan
cs--the aboring classes generally. They hare much
at stake By disunon and intestine wars, they have
much to loose and nothing to gain. In disunion they
have the prospect before them Of the devastation of then
little property and Of seeing their fair country flooded
with blood TO serve and crafty the ambition of de
signing and corrupt men. Peruse well the addresses
referred torehect-compare the characters of Washing
ton and jackson with those who would destroy the
pillar Of liberty erected by the fathers of liberty
Were we superstitious, we should imagine seeing the
great Washington and Jackson lowering in the clouds
with swords in hand ready descend to earth and hur
destruction upon the heads of all those who would dare
raise hand to demoish our beloved Union.

The Free Trade Movement In France.
We have received additional particulars in
regard to the free trade commercial treaty
between France and England, announced by
the Emperor Louis Napoleon in his circular
to M. Fould. On and after July 1, 1860, the
import duties ON cotton and wsol will be
abolished. English pit coal and coke will be sub
jected to the same duty as in the Belgian tariff.
After October, 1860, duty of seven francs will
be substituted for the actual duty on iron.
From December, 1860, the duties on tho impor.
tation Of machinery will be diminished. From
January, 1861, the duty on sugar will be reduced.
From June, 1861, the prohibitions on the i'm
portation Of threads, tissues and hemp will be
replaced by a duty not exceeding thirty Der
cent. From October, 1861, all remaining pro-
hibitions will be abolished There Ia probably
some error in the latter sentence, a. the ar
ticles enumerated are now no longer prohibit
ed, and enter France at duty less than thirty
per cent.

INCREASE OF THE SLAVE TRADE.-The Jour
nal Of Commerce, in whining tone, complains
of the increased activity of the slave trade,
which it is in evidence is Prosecuted to an
extent and with success and audacity almost
beyond precedent" This is just what we have
long since said but which was denied by
our contemporaries. Pious Aminidab Sleek,
with tears in his eyes, also laments that "the
majority of all the slavers leaving this country
are fitted out in New York and the Eastern
States This, too, we have stated over and
over again; but every journal in the city con-
radicted us.
The Tribune comes to the rescue, and throws
all the blame on the South. Now, it 30 hap
pens that the shareholders Of the Southern
States are opposed to the slave trade, for two
reasons: First, because it reduces the value OF
the property they possess in the services OF
their own domestics; and secondly, because the
imported slaves are intractable and ferocious
cannibals, entirely different from the mild,
Chrstianized, civilized, intelligent negro Of the
patriaychal institution Of the South. The mix

ture of the savage natives Of Africa with the
domestic American negroes would corrupt
and deprave the latter so az to endanger the
peace and welfare of the Southern States,
which have now as much slave labor as they
want
The Southern negroes in servitude are better
fed, better clothed, better housed, better cared
for every way, and far more happy aud con-
tented, than the average of the working white
population Of the North, so many of whose fe-
males, said one of the orators at the meeting
of the American Women's Association in this
city on Tuesday evening, chad but one
point to separate them from starvation, and
that was the point of the needle-poor girls
walking upon bridge as narrow as mathe-
NAUTICAL line, and trying to balance themselves on
that and keep from eternal death" How mise
rable their lot compared with the Southern ne
gro girls, who never know want or care or
fear Of the future! The shareholders, there
fore, for the sake of their happy black popula-
ton, as well as for their own sake, want no i'm
ported slaves.
Those who embark in the slave trade are for
the most part Yankees and New Workers, either
of the republican stripe or of the hue of Ami
nidab Sleek. When the people of the New
England States abolished slavery because 1t
would no longer pay in their cold climate in
the presence of so many hardy white emigrants
from Europe, they did not set their slaves free,
but sold them to the South for all the money
they would bring, and only made the enamel
patton law operate upon the generation un.
born. When they disposed of all their mig
gers at good cash prices to the slave States,
they then embarked in the slave trade, and have
supplied them with negroes ever since from
Africa, till the traffic has become nuisance to
the South, and the shareholders are one and all
crying out against it. The principal portion of
the trade however, is carried on with Brazil
and Cuba; and the abolition leaders at the
North, and all the anti.slavery demagogues and
their organs, whether pseudo democratic or re-
publican pure and simple, know far more Of
those engaged in the business than do any par
ties south of Mason and Dixon's line.

BLACK REPUBLICAN THEORY AND PRAcr1cE-
Among the many important articles which
overcrowd our columns this morning the spe-
cial message of Governor Letcher, of Virginia,
must not be overlooked. In this message,
Governor Letcher announces to the Virginia
Legislature the refusal of Governor Kirkwood.
of Iowa, to surrender to the proper authorities.
upon a regular and legal requisition, the per-
son Of Coppoc, one of the Harper's Ferry con-
spirators. Governor Kirkwood is, of course,
black republican, and governs o strongly
black republican State. His action, then, in
the case of Coppoc, furnishes us with striking
and instructive illustration of the inconsistency
of black republican theory and practices
for, in Congress, the republican leaders
assure us that they are conservative
and law.abiding. But when, as in the
case of Coppoc, this theoretical obedi
ence to law is required to be put into practice,
and the Governor of Virginia issues his requi-
ition upon the black republican Governor Of
Iowa for fugitive from justice, then the cloven
foot is plainly shown. The demand is fatty
refused and the law disregarded, simply be-
cause the crime of which the fugitive is accused
is one connected with slavery. BY this re-
newed exhibition of black republican consis-
tency we are reminded that this great abolition
party justify and would repeat just such out
RACES and incendiary attempts as the Brown
raid; that the ''irrepressible conflict" is not
written upon the black republican programme
as a remote possibility, but as o foreordained
and preresolved certainty; and last but by no
means least, that the conservative masses of
the country must see the necessity Of recon
Cling the black republican theory and practice
by booming both to common defeat and ami
hilaton.
