FopcM the trade with Africa, Che only
Faaasket for the Virgins crop is efectu
ally closed, This draws her to the
southern Confederacy. And herecomes
in the "irrepressible." For if she stays
out of the new Empire she is ruined, and
if she does enter it, unless she can con-
troll it, and keep the King of Dahoma
out of the market, she is equally ruined!
Can she trust the Cotton States? Evil
dently she cannot. Suppose they agree,
for the sake of securing her influence in
breaking UP the government, to buy
! their niegers from her, how long will
they stand to the bargain? Their tea
son to the present Constitution answers
that question:. IF Virginia wild not sell
niggers as cheap as Congo will, South

We see that Several Northernj oarnals
rryopese, in evident sincerity tQ buy VI
the negroes of the Border States as an
inducement for them to remain in the
Union. But this, to eur mind, is per
tfectly absurd. In the first place, it
would take Que thousand millions Of dol
lars to purchase thenls even if their
owners were willing to>selL And how
could this sum be raised? 1T could
peyNer be raised at all: But the slave
holders. would uot,sell out. They would
no doubt be glad to have the Govern
ment come intoathe market as pureha
sers, tothe extent of their annual product.
But to sell out the stock-never! To
what other branch Of ss'industry' could
the HchivalryV turn their hands2 Gen
feratioas of exclusive attention gte that
tstpeculiar" business has disqualified them
for any other, and they would not con

way to induce, the Border States to, o,stay,

Late reports say that military compa-
nies. have been formed, and are nightly
training in the city of New York
When it is remembered that Mayor
Mood has, in. his message, publicly adj
voeated the esseeessi ion 2of that city from
the State, with the view of setting up an
Independent Government Of its own, Or
to Join the Southern Confederaey; and
when it is remembered, furthers that
Marshal. Rynders, has declares, III sub
stance, that in case of a conflict with the
South, he would, with his partisans, sack
the city; and when it is still further re-
membered, that al the Southern papers
say that the moment the Government
attempts to enforce the laws in the South,
their friends in the North will rise in
civil war, these movements become sig
nifcant., *.
The telegraphic dispatches this even
ing say, that the Virginia delegates to
the Washington Convention will demand
the withdrawal of all troops from Wash
ington City, now there for its protec-
ton, before they will go into the confer
ence. Perhaps the delegates from the
Free States may agree to this. But if
they do, the people will hold them to a
fearful account, when the Capitol shall
be seized by the conspirators in conse-
quence. ..-..-...
That there Is conspiracy to seize. the
Capitol, with all the archives of the ma
tion, is established beyond all doubt.
General Scott has labored with untiring
zeal and undoubted patriotism to pre-
pare to defend the Capitol of his coun7
try against the conspirators who intend
its capture. In spite of the obstacles
thrown in his way, he has made such ar
Engagements as has evidently thrown a
damper upon the intended .plupderers;
and in this state Of facts, the Virginia
delegates demand that all that Gen.
Scott has done shall be undene, and
thus put the Capitol at the mercy of the
mob! Is not the demand modest one2
