These things accomplis ed, let Napoleon make
with this government an alliance, and then we
would sec o it that England stood no more in
the way Of that forward movement in Europe
which is eyincel throughout the whole OF that
continent.
Napoleon, or rather the great revolutionary
party have in England bitter and uncom
promising foe, just as we, the great republic Of
America, find her our btterest enemy. Were
Napoleon to pursue the course we have pointed
out we should then have the opportunity ofpay-
ing England of the large debt we have accumu-
lated since the commencement Of our rebellion.
The favors we owe we should then right
gladly repay. France would find our naval
assistance matter Of moment, as would Eng
land, no doubt. We can never forget or for
give the course pursued by the government of
her Britannia Majesty against u.s. The open en-

accounted he would at glance sec the great

try, and be would at once cause the rebels
to understand that from him they need expect
no aid. Allied to this country Napoleon need
no longer fear England. He could then prose-
cute his plans in Europe. We would see to it
that England kept quiet. We should not
tolerate her interference in the affairs Of other
nations; we should expose her deceit to the
world, and prove that, whereas she is ever pratt
ing about the welfare Of nations, she is the real
enemy'of progress and civilization, which she is
ever retarding by her schemes and machine
tions. Her own advancement, and tho constant
injury of all other nations, is the creed of that

GOVERNOR SEYMoUR's RECENT LETTER.
letter Of Governor Seymour to the Albany in
dignation meeting on the arrest of Vallandig-
ham, of Ohio, shows that he has not yet been
able to rise above the partisan and take
statesmanlike view Of public questions. The
position that Mr.. Seymour now holds; as the
Governor of this the most important. State Of
the Union, Is not that Of partisan who sees
only his party, and bases his public acts on the
welfare of that party, in times like the present
especially. The role for the Governor Of the
State Of New York to perform is that of states
man, man placing himself above the politi-
clan, viewing and considering all public ques-
tions in reference to the welfare of the country
and then acting boldly and fearlessly. The
principle laid down in his letter is the correct
and true doctrine; but, unfortunately, his mode
Of handling the question has left him so open
to criticism that such republican journals ~
the Post and Tribune, that denounce tho viola
ton Of that doctrine, very justly criticise the
letter Of Seymour ~ partisan affair. The
Governor has higher and greater duties to per-
form than those Of politician Now is the time
for him to prove whether he is statesman or
not. These are the days that show the metal
that our public men arc made Of

The young female slaves of whom we speak

or rooms that are not ventilated at all, for it

United it brings with it ''blacks'' of another
kind, which damage the work npon which
theseamstresses are employed. Their occupation
is to sew from morning to night, and night to

a small piece of bread is served to each seam

CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK.
Gen. Washington and the Negro.

Many old persons in Boston and its vicinity
can remember a colored man of the name OF
Primus Hall. He had a good deal of natural
INTELLIGENCE, had amassed a comfortable proper
tv bv his industry, and was always active IN
his efforts to promote education among the
colored people of that city.
During the war of the Revolution, he was
the servant of Col Pickering, who was the IN
innate and confidential friend of Gen. Wash
inoton. This circumstance brought Prlmus
int frco,ent relations with the Commander
in-Cbief He had a great fund Of anecdotes
cencerniug him. which he was fond of rela-
ting. One ofthem conveys a lesson, which may
NOT he without usefulness at the present time.
Gen. Washington often held consultations
concerning military matters, with Colonel
Pickering, His headquarters were at a con
siderable distance from his friends tent, and
one evening finding they were likely to be
occupied till a late hour, he proposed TO re-
main all night with the colonel, providing
there was a spare blanket and straw frlmus
was appealed to, and being eager to obllge the
Commander-in-Chief stretched the truth ny
replying.
-s'Plenty of straw and blankets plenty"
Two humble beds were prepared SIDE by
side, and when the long conference was ended
the officers lay down to rest. Prlmus preten-
ded to be busy until they were asleep, and
then seated himself on a box, leaning his
head ON his hands to take as comfortable a map
as his uncomfortable position would allow.
In the night Washington awoke and saw
his humble friend nodding on the box. lie
called cut, "Primus!"
The servant started to his feet, and rub
bing his eyes, exclaimed,
s0S(Nhat do you wish for, General?"
'You told me you had plenty OF straw and
blankets" replied Washington; but see you
are sitting up all night for the sake OF giving
me yonr bed"
sDDon't trouble yourself about me, Gen err

me-
..But it is matter" said Washington, This
will never do, Primus. If either Of us have
got to sit up | will take my tnrn. But there
IS no need of that. The blanket IS wide en-
ough for two. Come and lie down with me"
Primus who reverenced the COMMANDMENT
Chief as he did no other mortal, protested
against such an arrangement. But Washing
ton threw open the blanket and said in a decl-
ded tone.
sCome and lie down, l tell you! There is
room enough for both, and l insist upon IT"
The tone was too r~esolute to admit OF FUR
tber parley, and, the General and his coiored
friend slept comfortably under the same
blanket till morning.

coat somewhat time-worn and seedy, and took

dashing Lieutenant, shining in gold lace. The
sexton, with extreme politeness, bowed him
forward into the seat which the plain o~vercoat
had vacated. During the prayers, however,
the plain o~vercoat was thrown back a little,
and disclosed from under it the stars of a
