FREE AND SLAVE LABOR.

"The Yankee idea that negroes would work
if free wa. nonsense" Such was the bold az
sertion of Mr.. Wickliffe, q slaveholding member
of Congress, at the Union-SayiDg meeting at
the Cooper Institute on Tuesday night
1t ia Undoubtedly Yankee idea, that free
men will work better for pay than saves under
the lash without pay. This, at any rate, is the
practical belief OF most white men. In regard
to free black labor. q leading Pro.Slavery paper
said a few days ago, that the runaway negroes
now in certain county in Pennsylvania were
eager TO work at ton cents day, and would.
therefore. by their cheap industry. take tue
place of white laborers--tbat is the free negroes
would work 80 hard and so cheaply that white
men could not compete with them. But Mr..
WickIife, on the other hand, said that the
negroes will not work at all if free. Here is
a pretty quarrel; aud the shareholders and Pro-
Slavery politicians can settle tie dispute at
their leisure.
But let US consider the facts IS regards
FREQ black labor. Without going into aIl the
detail. Of the results Of emancipation in the
British West Indies, let few facts be stated in
behalf of the elastic bound Of free labor. In
tho four colonies--British Guiana, Barbados,
Trinidad and Antigua-the total annual export
Of sugar before emancipation was Isl 900
pounds, while now it is PCS, 600, 900 pounds;
showing an increase under free labor of sew
euty-seyen million seven hundred thousand
pounds. The TO al imports Of the Same colo
MES amounted before emancipation to $S,S4O,-
600. They are now $lA, 900; showing an
excess of imports under hee labor, as
compared with slave labor, of the val
ne Of five millions ssyen hundred and sixty
thousand dollars. Out OF LOG, 600 acres OF land
in the island of Barbados, 100, 600 are under
cultivation, snd the average price rises to the
unprecedented hight of $500 IN acre. The
island is perfect garden from center to cir
conference, and the exports have doubled I'm.
der free labor. Under Slavery, the value of
American imports was not more that t6O. 900
per annum. Under freedom, it is from $780,
600 to f400, 900" And in 1858 the French
Committee charged BY the Governor Of Martin
iqus 10 visit the Island, reported that in sn
agricultural and manufacturing point Of view,
the aspect of Barbados is dazzling"
These are but few proofs of the great su-
periority of Free over Slave labor, and that
the blacks are worthy Of liberty and ought to
enjoy il.

no Rebellion, All. that is q sequitur clear
enough to most men, but altogether too tough
nut for the Thirty.6ye Wise Men Of Wash
inaton to crack! We are profoundly sorry tor
their intellectual weakness; but instead of ask
lug us to stultfy ourselves. they should, for
their own part. try to think with little more
accuracy.
We hope that we are as willing to pardon
injuries as our neishbOrs are; but ct the risk Of
being regarded as revengetul, we must admit our
inability to keep pace with that eminent PROBES
sor of Forgiveness and Forgetfulness, Dir. kich'
srdson of Illinois, who said in the Conserved Csu-
Gus, that peace can only be restored by saying to
the masses ut the South, "YOu have done
wrong! Lay down your arms and you snail
not be touched" But should Congress decide
upon this emollient course let Richardson be
tho United States ambassador to the camps OF
the Rebels! Let him eDtor their lines, blowing
the most assnasive tunes upon the mlldest OF
trumpets Let him, while gentle smiles iu-
mine his countensnce, say tenderly to the Con-
fsderate armies, "You have done wrong !!
Lay down your arms, and you shall not DO
touched" We can imagine his reception.
Even while no blandly speaks, bowie-knves

rate, during the present session.
1t must, we think, be taken for granted oy
this time, that the Secession leaders are IN

no treaties; they announce their intention OF

EMANCIPATION IN MARYLAND.

The cause Of Emancipation is already max.
ing decided progress in Maryland. In tho City
of baltimore, our readers will remember tho
CITY Union Convention declared, some months
ago. its sympathy with the Emancipation

leading city papers, The American and The
Clipper, have likewise, though less openly, come
out in favor Of it.
The country journals arc divided, ss ' ma

to the appeals of these papers; that, before the

necessity of covering Washington aud holding

FOREIGN INTERVENTION.

The position OF France upon the question of
Intervention is very distinctly seen in the
unanimous voice Of the seni-oficial press of
that country. They were never before so loud
in demanding the mediation Of their Govern
ment. The Patri., in order to sOnnd the sen.
timcnt of England, has already announced that
tho Emperor lad formally proposed to the
English Government joint Intervention. But
whom it was found that the Government and
psople of England were not prepared to Soc
opd the move, another official paper announced
the statement Of the Pd,rie to be premature, but
ut tho Same time asserted that ultimately the
mediation OF France would become an absolute
necessity. This, We learn by the latest intelli
gence from Europe. has become the watchword
for the entire press under the control Of the
Government of France. More than o hundred
provincial papers, the Constitutional assures US
have come out in favor Of mediation ard arc

In this hour of National anxiety and of

but the usually thronged streets were deserted
the usual number Of excursions were planned
but every one came far short Of anticipation;
the places Of amusement were open, but the
attendance was nothing like what we are
accustomed 10 zee upon such an occasion; even the
rising generation was under some balofu restraint,
and the usual interminsble roar Of frecrackers de-
generated into poor imitation Of the good old cu'
tom. In the evening there was spretty fair turn
out to see the fireworks, but the crowds were re-
rarkaby quiet, seldom induging in those cheers ana
expressions of pleasure which ought to have marked
the hour. Such was the outward visible manifesto

special celebrations and obseryances, the reader 10
