PLACE NONE BUT REPUBLICANS ON
GJARD

We are surprised to learn that doubts have
beeu expressed, by few of the leading nom.
bers of the Republican party, as to the expedi.
ency of removing many OF the old ofiicnls Of the
Government, in this city. Why these mcu should
be retained, we cannot understand. The entire
power of their position whatever it may have
been, has necessarily been opposed to the tri.
umph OF Republlcanism and to permit them
now to remain in Office is virtually admitting
that there are not men equally well qualified,
for the same places, among the victors. The
sentiment that retains them, on account of past
services, old age, and sense of obligation, is a
mawkish one, when considered with reference
to party principle. 1t was the rock upon which
the Wing party split. No part of the policy OF
that party caused greater complaint among the
people than the retention of its enemies in
place at the seat Of Government. Many Of the
men who were appointed thirty years ago BY
General Jackson are in Office to-day, aud they
do not want for powerful friends, among lead.
ing Republicans, to retain them in place In.
deed, where applications of the strongest kind
have been made for some Of the places thus
filed, leading Republicans have iuterposed to
prevent removal. These old officers have not
Only grown gray but many of them have grown
rich, in the public service, and, from time to
time, have contrived by means of their posi-.
ton, to provide for their children and friends.
Instances may be mentioned OF men appointed
by General Jackson, over others whose only
fault was their attachment to Whig principles,
who have held office for thirty years, with sala.
ries of more than $1,000, and their children
have held the Office of assistants for several
years, with good salaries. The argument in
their favor is, that they are well qualified for
the position, and have grown old in the service

flied, who have worked for the victory, now ap.

The force of General Jackson's Administra.
ton was mainly derived from the displacement
Of all his opponents. There was moral power
thus given 10 his party, which impaired to it the
elements of longevity and resprctabity. His
supporters had confidence in their organization.

VIRGINIA VIEWS OF TUE oUEsTloN

A sceech Of Geo. y. Brent, Esq, OF Alexau.
drn, delivered in the Virginia state Cpnven.
tion ou the S.h instant contains views Of tie
orsstiou Of secession which cannot fail TO have
nhu,uce in that state and this influence will
increase in the sane proportion that the pas.
sions connected with the late Presidential elec.
ton subside.
In respect TO the right of arrying slaves into
the Territories, although Mr.. Brent claims it
under the Constitution, he nevertheless con.
tends that it is of "lHtle real practical ratue."
Upon this point he says:
ave have, in the first place, no territory be.
longing to the United States into which slave
labor can pro6tably go. 1t will never go into
any Territory where 1t is not profitable. This
is the great economical law by which slave la.
Dor is governed, and this would present an in.
superable barrier to its introduction into the
Territories. On their woodless, waterless, and
endless prairies and on their iron ribbed noun.

more formidable than any which the ingenuity
or cunning device Of Republicanism can in.
vent.
bot it is not only the nature of territorial
SOIL climate, productions, and different modes
duction of slavery into the Territories. The
truth is, that the South has no slaves to go
there. The South has yet vast AID valuable
cotton lands unoccupied, and she requires
them on her own plantations. The demand
upon the slave labor OF the South is so great
that it is inadequate to meet it. Cotton has
become, as we are told ere, the great necessi.
ty Of the world, and wherever civilization has
gone, cotton has followed in its track. The
only limitation on the production of cotton is
the want Of labor, and hence every available
hand that eau be found is turned upon the cot.
ton fields, for the purpose of increasing the
production OF that staple; yet the Sou h is still
unable to meet the demands which are made
upon her. To use an Irish bull, the consump.
tion Of cotton is greater than its production;
and, in this condition Of things, the result has
been that the price Of cotton, and land, and
negroes, has been greatly enhanced. have
here, Mr.. President, O statistical table, which
has been prepared by Mr.. Ket,ell, one OF the
ablest statists in the country, in which he pre-.
sents some curious facts in regard to the cul.
ture Of cotton in this country:
The national Republican., 1861-03-18

ain 1900 we find that there were in this
country for every bale of cotton produced "a
slaves, whilst at the expiration of 1860 for every
26 bales Of cotton produced in the United
State there were but "a slaves, averaging nine.
tenths OF negro to a bale of cotton, and this,
too, with a rise on the price Of cotton. Now,
this table conclusively demonstrates another
fact: that the transfer of slave labor from the
cotton fields OF the South, where it is valuable,
can never take place to the Territories OF the
U lited States, where it is not valuable, where
it would be worthless. Nor is there any prob
ability that territorial expansion for the blacks
will be shortly needed. Not more than one.
fourth Of the cotton lands Of the South are now
in actual cultivation, and the number ofslaves
necessary to till the uncultivated lands would
require three times the present number Of
slaves 4; and it would require the lapse OF 100
years before that number could be supplied by
natural increase; and we are told, Mr.. Presi
dent, that in the mean time the demand for cot
ton will be greater than the increase of the he.
groes in the country. COL Gaulin was there
fore in the right when he declared, in the
Charleston COnvt ntion, that the South had no
negroes to send into the Territories OF the Uni
ted States. Mr.. iancey was also right at the
Montgomery Convention, in Alabama, in May,
1853, when he demonstrated, in clear aud
lucid argument, that the South had no slaves
to send INTO the Territories, and that prudence
and necessity required the retention OF their
slaves within the Southern States.
:" This argument, Mr.. President, was pre-.
scnted by MIR. Yaucey in that Convention, not
upon the territorial question, because he in
formed the Convention that there was no ter.
ritory to which he could send the negro but
it was presented by him upon the question OF
the repeal of the laws OF Congress inhibiting

GENERAL SPrNNpR.-The attack upon this
pcnileman's nomina alton as Treasurer Of the
United States ended in smoke. The great
charge against him was, that he had expressed
bis Willingness to head slave nsurrection in
Virginia, in the event Of the secession Of that
State. The proof was, that he had expressed
the opinion that secession there would be fol.
lowed by II slave insurrection, an opinion which
he still holds, and which is shared by large num-
bers Of Virginians. A more high.minded, frank,
