wages, and arrangements are being made by
which they are TO be paid fifty cents per
day, except in cotton picking, when they
are TO have seventy lye cents. From geyc-

THE HARBOR.LlNIs.

The decision Of Judge Allen Of the Supreme
Court in favor of the plaintiffs, the people, in
the action brought by the Board Of Commits.
sioners of Pilots against Cornelius Vanderbilt,
to restrain him from erecting pier at the
north end Of the Battery, is an encourag ng
fact in the government of this long. suIering
city. Mr.. Vanderbilt sought to appropriate
one end Of the Battery to his private and par.
tcular use, on some plea of right, as Mr.. Geo.
Law has long usurped the other end without
even pretending to make any plea whatever.
The difference between the two cases is, that
Mr.. Vanderbilt proposed to do what the other
has long done without let or hindrance, but
that he, unfortunately for his nice little plan
of appropriating public property, had to dea
with the Pilot Commissioners, instead of with
Controller Haws. Let Us hope that tho time
is coming when property which ought to b.
held for and devoted to public uses, may not b.
permitted to become the mere prey Of o few un
scrupulous and overgrown moneysd men, who
are continually hunting about for some veal

the late Democratic party will attempt to con-
duct the great Pro-Savery Revival which they
have on hand. The Republicans are to be
charged not only with having brought on the
Rebellion, but with having ruined the country
by unwse taxation. On this ground it is
hoped that the men whom the people repudiated
in 1860 may again be restored to office; and
that Slavery may in future years, as in time
past, still shape the destinies and control the
politics aud Liquidation Of the Republic.

THE PRESIDENT FOR FREEDOM.

We never printed State paper with more
satisfaction than we feel in giving to our read
ers the Special Message of President LINCOLN
to Congress yesterday, by which be recon-
mends the passage of joint resolve profering
National cooperation and pecuniary aid to
each and every State which shall see fit TO
inaugurate the Abolition of Slavery within its
borders This Message constitutes of itself an
epoch in the history Of our country. 1t has
no precedent; we trust it may have many con-
sequents. 1t is the day-star Of new
National dawn. Even if it were no more than
barren avowal by the Chief Magistrate Of
the Nation that IT Is HIGHLY DESIRABLE THAT
THE UNION BE PURGED OF SLAVERY, it would
be a great fact, of far weightier import than
many battles. But it is not destined to remain
unfruitful. Congress will be more than ready
to welcome and act upon it. 1t will lead to
practical results, and these the most important
and bene6cent. Tho 9th Of March will yet be
celebrated % a day which initiated tho Ma
tons deliverance from the most stupendOus
wrong, curse and shame Of the Nineteenth
Century. Years may elapse before tho object
boldly contemplated in this Message shall be
fully attained; but let us never harbor doubt
that it will ultimate in q glorious frution.
We believe our neighbor Of The Herald
lately suggested the reelection of Abraham
Lincoln as President Of the United States.
We heartily second the motion. Mr. Coun.
selor Brady, Likewise, at o recent Tammany
festival predicted that Mr.. Lincoln would
prove himself good Democrat before the ex-
piration Of bis present term. We congratulate
the Counselor on tho speedy ful6llment Of bis
prophecy. The world does move!
The Transmission Of this Message to Europe
by to-morrow's steamer seals the fate of the
Rebellion in every Christian land. DahOmey

be evident 10 the reader, that somewhere between
his tenth year when he is worth $500 and his
6ftieth year when be is worth only 800, the
slave must have paid for himself, many times
over, both by the products Of bis labor, and by his
increase of physical strength. He is worth more
at twenty than at ten, because he not only earns
more than enough for bis support. but enough
to make up for his less value in the past and his
deterioratng value in the future. So that there
must certainly be period in his life when he has
actually not only cost his owner nothing, but,
what is more, when be has supported BY bis toll
bis masters family, clothed his masters wives,
sons and daughters and bought for his master
new land. If he was originally purchased, it was
at the above rates, so that substantially the argyll
ment remains the same But it is precisely at
this period of middle life, when he is beginning to
deteriorute in value-when he il fast becoming
a mere cipher in the account Of stock, that
tho Mississippi Legislature values him at the
highest figures. We have little doubt they
would be glad to emancipate at these rates, and
to keep on emancipating 80 long as slave re-
manned. The pay would be sure, and the profit
enormous.
While we are not, of present, cOntending against
any scheme of Compensated Emancipation, we
must in justice to the Free States, which VIII
eventually be- compelled to foot the bills, insist
that the scheme adopted shall be well considered.
There is something bad enough in paying SlOo tor
negro who is worth considerably loss than moth
ing; and there is something worse in paying sun
larger sums for negroes by whose emancipation
the master is absolutely benefited. For It Is very
clear that with the disappearance Of Slavery
land which is really the only non-fictltouS wealth.
of the Shareholder, must instantly rise in value,
partly because production will under the impetus
of free institutions be immeasurably stimulated
and partly because demand will ut once ARISE LOT
the conveyance Of small parcels In fee SIMPLE OF
by long lenses, to the freedmen. planter who
has no longer Fictitious dignity to support, or
who can no longer continue to hold immense tracts
because his whole estate il neflicieny cultivated,
will be glad to part with portion OF that estate
and will find no lack of purchasers. 1t is hardly
at this stage Of the inquiry TO endeavor 10
the nature Of these new tenures. Ihat
the recent stakeholder will not only be inclined,
but will hare the po'rer which oil landhoders'
from the nature of their property, possess, OF
making good bargain, cannot be doubted But
whatever may be the course Of settlement pur'
sued, oil history shows us that the division OF the
land will be followed by rise in its value; and
this. We think. must in the case before us, be
amnv sufF;cient 20 remunerate the owner for the
loss Of his slaves.
