Mr.. HUNTERS PRoPosITioE.-W Wishing to
give Mr.. HUNTER the benefit of his own Ian
guage, we copy the following paragraph from
his recent speech before the Valley Agricul-
tural Society. 1t was penned by himself:
"Why not deposit the amount Of $780,
00O, 900, mentioned by Mr Lincoln, upon
the principle Of the deposit act, upon which
the surplus revenue was deposited with the
States: Like that, let the deposit be made
without interest, and to be recalled only Oh
the same contingencies. When this is done,
Jet the States do justice amongst the indl.
vidual shareholders. What if the General
Government should fail to have it restored 2
The act would only he one Of justice to those
who were uDjustly and unconstitutionaly
oespoiled. lfitwere not returned, no iinjus-
tlce would be done, for those who would
retain it were justly entitled to it.
sNor, could it be well opposed on
constitutional grounds. The original
spoiation without compensation was
unjust and unconstitutional; this use of the
national revenue would serve to remedy and
undo that original wrong, so fax as justice is
concerned. The whole action Of the Gene
raj Government in regard to slavery was
extra constitutional, and where something
extra constitutional is necessary to be done
to remedy any injustice in that action, it will
not do to plead the Constitution in bar of
that remedy if 1t has been no obstacle to the
original wrong. Upon the valuation of
s4O0, ZOO, 900 for the entire slave property of
the country the share of Virginia would
be between forty and fifty millions. o.,
Let the General Government distribute this
sum amongst the States according to the
number Of negroes emancipated within their
borders, and let the States distribute their
quota amongst the despoiled shareholders"
We did Mr. HUNTER the justice to sup
pose that he proposed to accomplish his pur-
pose by means Of an amendment to the
Federal Constitution. He does himself the
injustice to propose that his scheme shall be
carried out in contempt Of the Constitution.
We make no comment. = u i"s"', :,

Mr.. HuauEs's Radical friends in Phiadei-
pha, who compose large part Of the Board
of Trade of that city, seem to rate bis efforts
as a law-maker very low. In the National
Board of Trade, in Chicago, the other day,
the Philadelphia Board of Trade presented
paper in which they say that the bankrupt
law. under the Interpretation Of bill passed
at the last session of Congress declaring the
true intent and meaning Of the bankrupt act),
ia believed to be no longer constitutional,
and proposes that the National Board OF
Trade respectfully ask Of Congress such
legislation as will abate these evils, or, fail
ing that, solicit repeal of the entire law. ..

to him that the prisoner had said that ne had

Statesmen's Opinions of the Negro

StateSmenS Op1nlonS OF the Negro.
We have elsewhere repubhshed from
Mr.. SruAKT's speech the opinions of
statesmen Of the early part Of this century,
and also Of q recent period, concerning the
negro. It Is Of especial importance just
now, during the campaign for Governor,
that the opinion Of Mr.. ROBERT W. HUGHES,
the Republican candidate for the office,
should 60 along with them. A short time
before the war, in the quiet of his editorial
sanctum, so favorable to philosophic specu.

as follows:
1.-The unfmess Of the NEGRO RACE

enough" said wit OF other days. Mr..
HUGHES scorns any such restraint. He has
many voices on all subjects. We quote else
where what he has said against the negro.
And now hear him on the negro's behalf.
In bis Lynchburg speech upon being nomi-
mated by the negroes for the Office of Gov
error be showed his gratitude to them in an
entire change of his opinions with regard to
his bepefactors. He spoke thus:
"Study the character Of the laboring pop
"ulation all over the world, and WHERE
"WILL A LABORING CLASS ANY
WHERE BE FOUND so EXEMPLARY
I'm THEIR CONDUCT OR so ELE-
WAITED IN THEIR MORALE, ALL
THINGS CONSIDERED, A. THE Ne
aGRo POPULATION OF VIRGINIA."
We invite the attention of white laborers
to this sweeping declaration, which places
all nations beneath the negro for "exem.
plaryn conduct. 49,. .,.'.. d.. ........~.
This b very pleasing reading for the white
laborcr, indeed The negro will be greatly
nay, has been ineonceivably by it.
But our orator aspirant for the Office of Gov
ernor has taken measures to check the ne
gro's jnblhtion over this fulsome culogy.
Let the negro lock at Mr.. HuaHEs's opinion
of him published In this mornings Dis
patch, written by that gentleman not long
age; and let him remember that this opin-
lon of him was only one Of possibly a, hun
dred. all concurrent with it, written by Mr..
HUGHES most deliberately, after patient reflec-
ton, with as good knowledge Of lie charac-
ter and habits Of the negro as was ever pos,
sessed by any man in tho world. .s. - =

must say ~hat'you think Of him. His hand
has been first and last against both black and
white, and q just retribution would array

dared that the negro Is his superior Is a
traitor alike to bis race and to himself.
