hard to obtain at one dollar. Coffee, sugar,

was not suffi Client to accomplish the pur-

must not only be crippled by tariffs and
taxes, but the value Of her productions must
be lessened. To complete the victory of
capital over labor, the rich railroad mono
poles raise the freights upon cattle, grain,
and every product of the soil, until the cost
of bringing them to market renders them
almost worth less. They now tell US, that
to compete with the East, we must lessen
the cost of these productions; in other words.
that we must employ cheap labor to till our

avenues of industry.

ARCHBISHOP HUGHES IN PARIS.-It will
he remembered that some time ago Thu 10 W
Weed and rchbiShop Hughes of New York
went to Europe, it was understood, to
he p the work along In the Journal des
Debats, paris appears letter from Arch =
b shop Hughes, of which the following is an
extract. Having been accused by some
French writer of being proslavery man,
he denies it, aud says:
Finally, although have never written or
s,d word in favor of slavery, I am de-
cidedy opposed to Abolit;onism. as il i, I'M
derstood in America. The Abolitionists
have not right to touch slavery in the
United States. except as in iivi!u rs express
ing freely their personal opinions. Tne
guiding chiefs Of the abolition movem ents
in the Northern States appear Inspired by
fanatical zeal on question which concerns
the most grave interests of the Southern
States and the whole country. Slavery is
the sick man Of the United States. The
A bolitionists of the North, where slavery
does not exist, see the sick man at a dis
lance through a telescope. Their exagger-
atsd views influence their prescriptions.
There are several cities in the South where
slavery is perpetual, and where yellow fe-
yer and cholera are frequent visitors. One
could not suppose that any Archbishop or
/
vocate Of cholera or yellow fever What
he would do would he to abandon the treat
ment of these maladies to the inhabitants
of the cities where they prevail and phys
icians who know iI what manner they can
be cured or mitigated; but our abolitionst
doctors of the North, who dwell far from
slavery and tines epidemics, would wish in
the interest Of humanity 20 burn the cti es
Of the South. which they would consider as
the most prompt means of purifying the air.
OF destroying and EXTERN mating, by single
remedy, the cholera, slavery and the yellow
fever There are iD the Southern States
four million slaves. Abolish slavery all on
sudden, and what will become AT them?
What will become Of their m asters? What
will become of the products of their labor,
of which Europe has such need? The al
clifton party of North America take no ac-
count OF all this.
The Most BACKWARD STATE IN THE UN-
ION We take the following from the N.
Y. World:
Massachusetts, according to the official
report Just issued is still 10 900 short of its
quota, although fully half Of those recruited
were for only nine months. This makes
the Old Bav State' the most backward Of
any in the Union. Connecticut has lied
her quota by draft, and the other New Eng
land States will do so during the coming
week"
Massachusetts, is the grea test abolition
State. She favored the policy that brought
on the war, and now declines to foht it
through.

that the General Gov eminent has found a
way to ease the conscience Of the rich man,
by allowing him to paw $500 in lieu of do

VIII am Carey had been brought up in
the Church of England; but various eau

was lourneyman shoemaker, who would
have mended your boots, had you lived in
those days, for shilling or so and been
glad ofthe job.
When his master died he married his
sister and took up the business. This step
was unfortunate, for the said sister cared
as little for the things which interested
Carey as any of the Hindoos he alter
wards sought to convert, aud proved IN
time, no slight obstacle in the way. His
trade too diminished, and while in the ca
pacity of Baptist minister he was preach,

to travel many long mile in spite OF il
health, on the week days, to sell his boots
and shoes that he might buy bread. Ic
he was patient and true, and not ashamed
of his poverty, Thirty years later, h'

ward the North. The absent element of
substantial Union is fraternity amongst
the people, and that can never be furn.
ished by the sword. Again, in the words
of Mr.. Lincoln, "there has been much
loss on both sides and no gain on either"
and the identical old question as TO the
terms Of intercourse are upon us, and we
should seek to adjust them as to reestab-
lish the Union on an imperishabe basis,
But, it may be asked, is this war for
the Unionl Are we sure those in author
ity intend nothing else! They certainly
profess nothing else, and l attribute to
them nothing else. If the war is not for
the Union, and is not directed with sole
reference to that end, then it is the most
stupendous fraud that has ever been prac-
tised upon the world We all know, how
ever, that many, very many OF its parh-
sans will not be satisfied with that issue
1t might be very important, therefore, to
the salvation of the country, when the
time for reconstruction comes, if ever it
should come, to have the sounding' on this
point taken n advance. | should like ex-
cecdingly to see a popular vote taken in
the North, especially in New England, be-
tween the proposition to receive all the
States back into the Union, on the terms
of the Constitution, which makes the
States equals and alike sovereign, each
with the right 10 have such domestic insti'
tuition as it may choose and PROPOSE
ton to recognize the independence of the
Southern Confederacy. 1t might be in
tercsting as we'll as instructive, to unvciI
the hypocrisy Of a certain school OF poll
ticans who have clamored so zea,ously
about the Union. 1t is painfully apparent
that Notwithstanding this clamor, they do
not intend that the Union shall exist hero
after on the terms of the Constitution, if
it is to embrace all the States. The ratio
Of slave representation, and the rendition OF
fugitive slaves, are features of the Constl-
tuition which they condemn and abhor'-
Between the maintenance Of these and
the recognition of the Southern Confeder-
acy many of them, in my judgement, four
to one, would prefer the latter. Their
aversion to these clauses of tho Consttu-
ton were primary cause Of the alienation
and hostility of the South, and fear they
would not yield that aversion now to rem
der the the Union what it once was. Let
Mr. Lincoln try this question if he wou d
solve the problem of the nations embro-
Clio =.
Do not underetand me that would yield
the sword or any other means to render
the Union what it was. What | mean is,
that if the Union, and that only is the OBJ
ject, the sword will never fng the belliger
ents in a better condition to consumate
that work than they are now, and that 9th
er agrncies should be promptly employed
| yield to no man in devotion and loyalty
to the Union as it was, and to the princi-
pies Of government transmitted to US by
our fathers. The maintenance and perpet'
uation of these shall be the object nearest
my heart whether l be in p1ivate or public
life.
With much esteem, I remain,
Yours truly, WIN. BIG LEN.
