AIExANDRIA
SATURDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 10

THE SOUTHERN question will not down.
THE few negroes who attempt to vote the
democratic ticket are made hot" by their
WI race negro washerwomen advertise
for places as washerladies, requiring cole
nossession of the back building, With the
privilege of having teachers come there TO
teach their children music; negro cfiminsis
nae defiant and violent language TO the
Judges before whom they are brought for
trial. and the race is increasing at such q
ratio that it will soon outnumber the whites
in oil the Southern States-it already does
SO in several. The latest development oil
the impending conflict is the following
announcement
The ministers composing the Baltimore
onnusl conference of the African Methodist
Eoiscopn! Church. believing that Mr.. Har-
,ison will deliver their brethren In the
South from the oppression that now weighs
them down, and having ss q body OF Coris
;ans PRAYED for his election, bave decided
GO take part 10 the inaugural parade. The
pfe-iGipg elders, elders, deacons, !icentlates'
and local ministers will be on foot, and the
ten bishops in carriages"
The solution OF this question is the prob.
lem that puzz'es the present generation and
that pcrtenas the erayest dangers to the
succeeding one, not ouly to the people OF
tao south, but to those of the North also.
Tae history Of the world and the laws OF
physi9loey prove that there can be no anal
gamstion cf the races, and that the white
race is superior 20 the black. In the cor
dict that common sense f%oresees, the latter
must therefore tie e%xterminated. Would it
rot be rhea er, and better, and more 10 &C
cordance with the civilized and Christian
spirit of ths age to adopt C9l. Simpsons
plan of expectation? Semi-monthly ships
from each of the principal Southern ports,

COMMUNICATED

Many of the readers of the GAZETTE will bo
surprised to learn that Miss Kate Claxton, who
plays here tonight, is the grand daughter of the
noted Baptist preacher, Spencer A. Cone. This
gentleman was e ~tragcdian of much celebrity, and
scsed on the boards OF the old theatre in this city.
He was converted and returned, not to play, but
to preach. The opening words OF his first sermon,
which was preached in Philadelphia, were,
"Othello's occupations gone." He made e very
brilliant and effective preacher, and under his
ministry ana influence many members OF other
denominations connected themselves with the
Baptist Church. Among the number were two
very fashionable ladies, members OF the Episcopal
Church, who having the leo OF The Potomac broken
in the mon h Of March went down into the water
and were baqtised.

THE CORPORATION Court Of this city, yes
terday. decided that ali the Virginia cou-
pons that had been rendered for Slate taxes
here, amounting to nearly six thousand dol
lers. were genuine, aud would, therefore,
have to be accepted by the tax collector.
The people who paid their taxes with these
coupons saved fifty per cent, but they
had q right to do so-a right guaranteed
them by the highest laws of their State and
their country. They are rich, aud have
large tax bills. The poor, who have small
tax bills, have to pay them with money, and,
instead of saving anything, have a percent
age added if they dent pay by a certain
time. All taxes, even when properly i'm
posed and collected, are paid by labor, the
merchant adding his to the price OF his
goods, the and owner adding his to his
rents, and the employer deducting his from
the wages Of his employees; but, under the
y, stem now 10 vogue in this State, adopted
as a means of derrauding the States credit
orr, the poor are positively pil!aged.
though the Constitution and the su
preme Law of the land are act at defiance
to do 20. If an extra session of the legisla
ture could result in an honorable settlement
OF the States debt, for the sake of the State,
and all her people, but especially for that OF
her poor people, let it be called as speedily
rs possible. But not otherwise.

offered in Congress for the annexation OF
Canada. The people ofCapada arc just as

less cause to be dissatisfied with their gov
