From the Eufaulu Express. Miner) K&fci-eUtti to llcyuhiicun InstUMdons. The following, which we dip from the Now York Journal of Commerce--in relation loan nr tide from tin- N. 0. Delta-—presents a question whit h i., worthy of the attention of tho Southern ! people. We do not profess to be wiser tluiu otlu-r people, but it appears to us that the “explanation <>f principles,” which tiio Journal “f Commerce Tcquires, cun bo easily given. Here is what it says:— “The Now Orleans Delta has made a discovery which, he says, seems In have escaped tho atten tion of overt writer in this noun try aud Europe, viz:, that tho absence of domestic African sluvcn in Mexico, is the real causa of its failure to main tain a stul-lv and wholesome republican organ i/a 1 ration. In support of tbia conclusion, it affirms j t int tlie republican sysUfui Ims never been main tained for any length of time among a people : who did not possess and support the institution of domestic slavery, and cites as examples the prosperity of ancient Greece ami Route, where slavery existed, and the failure of all republican movements in France and Germany where the in stitution did not exist. It does not, however, deign to give any explanation of the principles l.\ i which th eso con trusts are produoed, and we beg t to bo enlightened.’’ i The Journal of ,Coraiuoree is unable, with all { ita logic and political lore, to explain *tlie very I pertinent mid pregnant principle deduced from 1 historical (nets by the New Orleans Delta, that j domestic African slavery is the bulwark of ropuh j lii-au instiistitutiouH. The ancient examples of I (iiiHifc-o and Route furnish iutlubitable testimony !to the truth of the principle. While slavery was j strongest. Liberty shone brightest, and their | power aud itilluenco were Celt and acknowledged jin every quarter of tho globe. The more i modern cxumplo of Mexico languishing under the I domination of a restless and misguided people dis tracted by fneiiousatid civil discord, adds anoth er to the catalogue of failure* already numerous, and tuuong w hich France and Germany pre -cut prumiueut and powerful arguments against the stability of a democratic government Without the salutary and conservative element of domestic sluvnry. These arc fact-, and as such are no doubt very indigestible to Nortbc.ru gastronomies -and hence, with unmanly puerility.they reject ! t bent as illogical and false. They demand hii ex : planalion of the principles by which these con i r:i.- >m e produced. Now, wo may theorize and ; -.peculate until we dream out an Utopcan picture of a perfect government, but thesobaseless fabrics vanish into thip air upon the first practical ap ; plication ol the existing state of ailairs. i None of us would introduce slavery into any perfect system of government predicating our Div vy upon tho supposition that men themselves are perfect, any more than wo would people the Court <>f Heaven with slarea. But the depravity of mankind, which Constitutes the reason and origin of nil governments, necessitates a widely differ ••nt arrangement in social and political relations lotrm n. Social government ie intended to sup ply tho place of M>lf government ; hence ns nun are- more ign- i.-mt and depraved without any self ; emt . -d, but having their reason subjected to their lawless sway of passions, the strong arm of gov- I ernme.it nn.-heathe- tho sword of justice, mid flashes the terrors of’ vengeance into tho breast | <-t the transgressor. Hence a despotism is the ; only form of government adivpted to the uncivi liled and lawless savage, and a republic would ; only pre sent a tragic scene'of civil war and in i snrrection. Hone© the negro with every principle j ot virtue und moral self control debused to the , gratification of sensual appetites and desires, cun be In Id in tho paths of obodience and rectitude ! only by that perfect absoltffisfb which vests ume ; sirictcdauthority in his ruler. Thi*if*the sound, , logical oeuolusion, which tho nuturid dodue i tions from the principles es governmental science, established and supported by the writings of ; Montesquieu, would furnish. If, therefore, men were perlect, slavery would not constitute an es sential element in tho stability of a republican government: but under existing circumstances, we do assert it as entering very largely into the I tho constituent principles of a well established and \ teenrtdif bated republic. For tho benefit of tlie ; Journal, who*©optics are very much blunted by j the prejudice* and interests of u fiilso philosophy | and deluded constituency, wc propose unravel!- | iug tno mystery that envelopes this dep-*wUsd | principle. The greatest foo to the pejrrnoneuey and well being of any iiiftkitutiona i8 the fanatieism of tlie people. This fanaticism is always most violent iu the ignorant and deluded; and where there* lower cla.-Suaare safficiontly numerous to control the ballot boxes, designing deinagogucß have a perfectly pliable material presented in their blind ed seal and prejudices for tho accomplishment of their nefariotiH and revolutionary schemes. The fanaticism of tho North mid conservatism of the .South present contrasted demonstrations of the truth of this proposition. The most enlightened classes of the North are generally conservative, constitutional,law abiding citizen-. They are not carried away into those excessive demonstrationh of fanatical zeal, but it is the rent le->*, unsettled seditious mania of the masses with a morbid appetite for excitement uml insurree tion, whose s.-utiineiils arc moulded and swayed by a few hellish, intriguers who would promote their own aggrandi/ciueut at the subversion of the government, and the sacrifice of its institu tions. This is tbc exact condition of Northern• ‘society the exact state of Northern politic-. The institution of domestic slavery at the South is the beautiful harmonizing element “which b-nv el:.-, the whole lump” of society, and ount’ i- act* those rebellious and factious influence* which arc so dangerous to nuy form of government. Our slave* fill up that relation to tin- body politic which those hordes of ignorant, lawlu** Abolition i*tn sustain at the North. Hence slavery is the (‘..nan'vative eUuieut, the bulwark, the foundation -tone, the 1 hsJs of republieen institutions. Tliev have no voice in the government; they do not. control the ballot box ; they do not establish and give character to the institutions of the eountrv. Should tho revolutionists of Mexico, whose in dignation is aroused by the unequal administra tion* of a feeble government, b© , supplanted by th slaves, whose sphere Providence has ordained to be inferior and submissive, the dark clouds of faction and insurrection, which have so long shrouded bar destiny, would tn: removed, and she might again hail the return of her primeval Altec glory. The sympathetic spirit of liberty which throbs in the breast of every Southern man might exult in anticipation of this glorious era iu a sis ter republic hs a precursor t the more gloria,us extension of a Southern confoderey and a Mexi can annexation. The absence of this institution of domestic sla very will eventually, in case of a dissolution of thi- Union, cause tbd subversion of the Northern Republic. That restless spirit, which ha* hereto fore found an escape in the exciting end xoefiounl Contest over Koufjmrn slavery, deprived of this food for its craving appetite, will seize upon the morsel of its own institutions pud add another mournful monument among the wreck of empire* | to the fallacy of self-government. And shonbl the Journal survive this storm of political eh tneiits, ii will sec another example to illustrate the reultiy of that principle, whose truth will preb aidy bo impreH.scd by tho mighty incidents nt tending thin fatal experiment of seil-govcrnoM nt by n people fwhose error lay in a foolish and la Darien! opposition to tho >t*ential, coimenatire in - stituiion of domestic slavery.

From the scale of miles on the ump. which is accurate, wo have measured tho di luetisioua of this county. Putting a tape striug directly across its eapitol, situated iu the centre, its distance to the north-west boundary is seven miles—to the south-east boundary, two miles.— With the tape line runniug ut right angles to this line, through the county site us before, it is about iu one direct jon and 7 : a in tho other. This is tin mean distance. Wo iwk sensible people if it is ud lolly in the extreme. Tlie counties, ad jacent to the county of Glasscock, are of respect able size.

The size of many counties in Southern uml South-western Georgia and the fust increasing population is a justifica tion for the formation of them here, when com pared with other sections of tho Slate, .-.ml when tho sett]fid policy is to make them whenever a pe tition enu lie obtained, hut we have enough for the present nud lot it he so understood.

NPKKCH OF ll> M j ntWVFORIt, OF t. A Mr. CRAWFORD, in reference to tbo coum w hich the House hasHeen fit to take upon tin bill, spooking formyst-Il ulonc, Isay I am pre pared to take my full shard of the responsibility I understand this bill to be very strong in it* *ep urate parts. There is a shifting majority in'tie House in favor of particular sections; for that- motion of it to which my sell und some u: friends have been particularly op|n>sud during it consideration. I have no donut but that it i- tin strongest feature in the whole hill, and will eon trol more votes than any other particular clausi in it. And, sir, if any nrrungemunt can be made by which u vote shall bo given with reference to thy missions to Persia, Rome, and Switzerland it will not succeed if it be within the power id’ iliom who arc opposed to tho ln*t clause of th© bill t defeat it. We desire, with reference to that pin tienlur clause, that its provisions shall come up in a separate aud distinct bill. That tho subject i* strong ouough to pass the House, I do not doubt. But there are certain members who have Keen voting against that clause for the purpose of re cording their votes fn opposition to riuu construe tion ot tho act of 1810, which provides for tho re turn to Africa of th© slaves taken on board tin shiver Echo. And if tlmt i* the only way by which wc shall bo allowed by tlie House to < : press our opposition lojthnt construction, wo will kill the whole bill before w© will take it wiiktliul clans, iu iff There is another class of mon who oppose the bill. Horn© of th© tariff men hero will mu, per haps, vote for any appropriation bill at all,until tho tariff i* raisod. that will account for some portion of tho opposition votes. Ido not know whether this is so or not. But no arrange meat cau he made bv which my vote can he rccoi ded in Inver of this bill, uulcss that clause <an bi placed iu such a shape that lean approve of it. And 1 desire to say now, what 1 w>>u!<i have said yesterday, had 1 boon allowed tho opportunity,’in rclbrcnco to that particular clause; and that i tlm: l am willing to pay tlie bounty of twenty-live del ■ lara a head. That is th© law of the hi lid. i.nd of ©ours© I urn willing to sustain it. Tho “flie rs and crew are entitled toil; and tbuy will bo entitled to it wbethur wo incorporate it iu this bill or compel them to coin© here ut some future time to claim it. But I want this particular question toffi pend upon its own merits, and 1 shall bo utterly oppo sed to any bill, though it bo u bill making the en tire appvopriatupis necessary to curry on tho Go vcrnuiciit, if it aontuius this clause. lam oppos ed to educating these Africans upon tho coast of. Africa, or any w hore else. Thi* very question of opening tho *iuvo trade is one of the highest im porUuiec, Hud ou© which threatens to mak>- and unmako parlies iu thi* country, ilia a question which gr..vvs stronger and stronger every day, and l believe the result of it w ill bo the building up and tear iug down of party platforms; aud the only way by w hich it can he prevented is to cons© thnl war which hu* been made upon slavery for year* past: and oven that is donbtful —but that is li'only remedy. Mr. Phelps, of Missouri. 1 would inquire of tlm gentleman whether the S'-iJ,OOO is imt the ex act sum stipulated tub© paid to the Colonization Society for maintaining and educating those N'e green? Mr. Crawford. 1 willsuy to the gentleman, in reply that, upon looking into thispuiticulur qms tioii, 1 was given, by the clerk of tho (.'onimittco of WaVHand Mean.-., a slalomont from the Secre tary of State, which stated that tj3)),UOO vim tiio | sum required. Now, 1 auy, the question is be tween the gentleman from Missouri and tho Sec retary of Mato. If tho Secretary of State has misled tnc, he is responsible for it, and the efiair iiiuu of iho Coiniuittooof Way* and Mean* knows full well that 1 would not give my support to that proposition. If the amount was $10,1)00, instead >.f £:itl,UitU, I would have moved to reduce it to $30,000, Mr. Fbelps, of Missouri. A contract was made by the I‘romdent of the United thatc*, with tlio Colonization Society, lor t,ho maintenance of those African#, and, if SBO,OOO i# nceosnary for that pur pose, it will bo paid under tlio appropriation. The contract stipulates that bo much per head shall be paid lbr the support and maiutcnauee of those negroes fbr twelve months after their arrival in Africa, subject to a pm rut” deduction from the price stipulated in the event of the death m any of them before they arc landed in Africa. Mr Crawford. J will nay, in n fence to that, ihut if tho Froaident shall appropriate the !?L, 000 to the education Hhd schooling of these Afri cans, it will bo no fault of inioo. 1 mipporied the amendment oll'ered yesterday by the gentle man fro in Mississippi, (hut no part of it shall he used for that purpose. If the Fivnidunt docs that, a a matin-of course, tin icMiit w ill bo that the bounty of twenty-five dollar# a head, which the officer!! and crew of the capturing vessel aro enti tled to, cannot he paid. The President run tako his choice between paying the African citizens, attached to the American Navy, the bounty to which they art’ entitled under the law, or appro priating it to the education and support of those negroes in Africa, lit hoy he educated, it could be done bettoi iu this country than abroad. \ would like to have n vote in this House, which would show how many Hepresetitelivis upon this floor will vote for odueiiting Africans In Liberia, whilst there are hundred* ol poor whites in their > own (UstrielM who could not gel one dollar for such a purpose out of Hu- Treasury. In the Huttib, at least, we look upon white people as being as good ns negroct, to nav the least of’ it. I would like to’ have a test vote on that particu lar question. Mr. Smith of Virginia. “ ill the gentleman allow me? Mr! Crawford. Yes. Mr. Smith, of Virginia. There i# not ope word iu the hill that countenance* the idea of ede a tiug these African*. Mr. Crawford. Hut the gentleman fr- iu Vir \ ginia knows full well that n eotitraet haibertn en tered Into for that purpose; and it is ho escape i for him and those who vote for thin proposition that they do not known it in *>., for it in mo. Mr. Smith, of Virginia. With the pcrmL-d-.n of tho gentleman, J will say this : The law is one thing, the administration of it another. It the law itsolf he unexceptionable, then no objection can he urged to it. If the Administration exe euto the law improperly, that is a subject for ani madversion, and it will no doubt receive niiin.u 1 version ; hut tins is no wuy to hvatow it. Lot the gciitlouiun read the section. It is this: “To enable the president of the United States to carry into effect tho act of Congress o| ;Jd March, 1819, and any subsequent acts now in , force for the suppression of the slave trade, $73,- j 000: Provided, That so much of said appropria- | lion as may he required to pay cypeu-rM already j incurred may be used from and after the pntLuge ‘ this act.” Mr. Crawford. I quit tho gentleman from Vir ginia how these expenses were incurred, and whether he is not informed as to tlie manner in which they were incurred I Mr. Smith, of Virginia. I answer the gentle man ’s question distinctly, that whether the ex penses have been incurred in one wuy or another, is u mattero| no consequence. Tho question is; is this section right ? is it proper for us to p- a law placing funds in tho hiinls of the executive for executing tho legislation of Congress for the suppression of the slave trade? Mr, Crawford. I ask the gen.ll •ms,n whether existing legislation authorises the president to outer into contracts to support schools, and to civilize and Christianise those in gi"* In Africa, as has been stated by tho goutlomun froth Mis souri, | Mr. PiIKLI'H J 0 Mr. Smith, of Virginia. 1 answer the gentle man by saying to him that tlmt may ho a malad ministration of tho law ; hut I put it to him wheth er rhat can ho remedied in the way now propos ed ? Mr. Crawford. I think it can he; and it i* for that reason 1 propose to do it. I suy to tho gm tlcuien tmw that If ho vote# for this proportion, and if it should ho enacted into a law, it will give tho same construction to the act of JK|{) |.r tin next half century, if the Government should last •o long. If the section hud appropriated $h, 000,- 000, would tho gentleman from Virginia have vo ted for it ? Mr. Smith, of Virginia. I would not havQ vo ted for it, boeonso no such sum could possibly have been neocssary. Hut here is a subject that ha* boon investigated by a committee of the House. Tho amount is not large. 1 was for re ducing it to existing liabilities ; hut I will not, because there is an excess of some $30,000, throw away the whole bill.. Mr. Crawford. I ask the gentleman whether, instead of hringiug in only the captured negroes, of the Echo, those of the Wanderer had been brought in, and to the number of twenty thousand, and tho President should make a contract for schooling, educating, and Christianizing thorn in Africa, ho would vote to give effect to that con tract ? Mr. Smith, of Virginia. Why, the gentleman himself wanted to hare 946,000 put Into the hill. i’li.it wa- to execute existing taw, th© gentleman ays. That being his object, the gentleman coin nil- himself to tanking similar provision for very vessel that comes thus freighted. Mr. Crawford. No, sir; 1 commit myself to : . Mi. h thing. 1 commit myself to the payment : tin- bounty and the support while here, and the runsportution back, just a* l understand and • oisimi© tb© law, and as ©very court in the conn i v would construe it. While other gentlemen uimii themselves to a construction tbut is hu -I:nitnrian and sentimental in character, 1 stand ■n tl.c miked law itself, and obey it* requirements. Mr. Sinftb, of Virginia. I will say this: that . i--riiiinly should not approve the expenditure ot my portion of the public money for the purpose . . locating Africans in Africa or anywhere else. Mr. Crawford. Exactly : ami that is the rea if why 1 toted against this hill. Mr. Smith, of Vu. But I say that that Is not •In way of preventing it. Thi* debate will pre vent-it. Mr. Crawford. 1 propose to show why I agreed ~ pay 5i.).000. I have, jjir, before me the act of I SIP. That act provides, in the first place, that In- President of the United States shall employ . ! c vessels of the United States fin’ tiio purpose f capturing and bringing in such vessels ms may l*o engaged in the slave trad© ; and in the next place if gives tho President power to send these vessels on onrovvn const, or on the coast of Afri -a, to accomplish this purpose. It enact*, also, tbut :i bounty of twenty-five dollars per head -hull be paid to the officers and erews of the com nii .-iom-.l vessels of of the United States for each negre, mulatto, or person of color, that shall be delivered to tin- marshal. Now. t lie captors of thi* ulnvcv were entitled !<> twenty five dollars per bead, on two conditions: one is that they shall deliver the negroes to the United States marshal .where they land. The “tin r is. that they shall deliver the offending crew .and'offending ellieers of the slaver t< tlie civil au tiiorilios os the United States. They have done both, performed the condition*, and, a* n eouso qiicnee are entitled to the money. Now, tbc question is. whether the officers aud crow in this case, entitled to the bounty a* they are, shall bo paid. The law i* on the ttute bi ok, and it would boa violation of th© law to re fuse to vote thi* SI.),IM*O to these men who are thus entitled. Ido not mxk© tb© Jaw, but while her© 1 will execute if. Mr. Millaon. I ask tho gentleman from Qev ■ ia wbetiier it was not lit* purpose in submitin^ I.is amendment, to cut off n't tlmt part of the np pvopriatioii that wns intended t pay the Coloni zation Society uuder their contract, with the Presi dent ? Mr. Crawford. It was intended to cut off that portion of it which tin* Secretary of State said was tob, used by the Colonization Society f.-r the pur pose named. Mr. Million. Was that not the whole amount agreed to be paid for the shelter ami support, u.*- well as fur Iho schooling, of these Africans ? Mr. Crawford. So it whs ; hut it won to be used in Africa, whilst the law makes it the duty of Congn .> to pay f"i (lie support and tnnintennuec aud keeping of the nogroes after they are lunded on our coast, and until tho President shall have I si nt tlu-n: out of tiio country, no longer, j Mr. Millson. 1 usk tbo gonilciunu if it was n<>t bis purpose l<> reduce the appropriation to lb© ex j tcni tiial was to be paid to tho Colonization J?o ciety ? Mr. (rawford. It wns to reduce tlie appropria tion simply to the extent that it was to be uied for these negre.©*, after they had passed tram our j counity amt had been lunded in Africa. Mr. Millson. .So 1 said ; but that was not the expression or understanding cf many gentlemen : w bo voted for your proposition ; and what Iwunt i -d was to explain that. Mr. Craw-lord. I do not know tho reason* for ; youllfim-n’* votes; but I desire to Ray, so far as ! am concerned, that there- is uot in my mind the -hadow of a doubt with regard to the liability ol this Government to pay for the keeping of tiles* Africans, to support and maintain them while in . tlm United States, and to send them back to Afri eu and deliver them to our agent. I will vote for that, because it ia to carry out existing law—not , tlmt l would make it ; hut at the same time, I find it on the statute book, und it is my duty, as a mat ter of course, to voto for an appropriation to car ry it ..lit, so long at? it is tiio law. Mr. .‘-milb, ofVa. 1 desuetoknow if I uuder At and the gentleman aright? The gentleman will vote H.'.mm the sum necessary to meet the existing engagements of the Executive. Mr. Crawford.

I Mr. Crawford. I repeat, emphatically. what j ! 1 said before, that on referring to tin- law 1 find tlmt after tlio-e African* are brought here it ic ; the duty of the l’r* sident to provide; first, for I j their “rafe-keeping.” That does not imply “ed- | HCHtion.” in III’- next place J, find that it ia the duty of the I'naidcnt to provide for their “sup- i port” rhiFt hen. a* tlie next words show “and 1 their removal beyond Iho limit* of the United I State-.” Now, I call upon the friend* of thi* ! iiii'itsiira I- show iu© tiio word “Hiipport” after f tluvt poiai iu the law. it ia not there.

But that is not the ease. Now. Mi. Speaker, this act was passed in iKlk, and I mu free to say that the South has supported it ntul voted for it. What waa their object? They voted for it for the reason that the ncgroc* brobght to tlii# country were wild, uncultivated savages, and it wn*- unsafe to turn them loose here. Why, sir, South Carolina, in 1780, was | the first State, by her colonial Legislature, to puss it resolution for ihe purpose of putting u . cheek to tlie slave trade. And what was the re > suit of that action? South Carolina received u rc bul<o, ut the builds of the English Government ; and, in addition to that, circular# were sent not ! only to her Governor, but to every other one | throughout ilie colonics, warning them against j a similar outrage ; fur thus it wus then consider i ed.
