Negro Blaclianles.
A correct view of the questions involved
in determining (he expediency of any legisla
tion against Negro mechanicj, wou Id require
the inquirer to go below the surface, and ha7e
some insight into political economy. Political
economy, which is but the application of en
larged common sense, rectified by experience,
to the mode of dealing with National wealth,
and promoting National prosperity, leaches
that the effects of a given change often reach
vastly farther than would be anticipated. The
effect, for example, of labor-saving machinery
is not to diminish, but frequently vastly to
en:arge, the amount of labor of the particular
sort it expedites. This results in part from the
diminution of price and consequent enlarge*
ment of consumption. A familiar example
has been often quoted illustrating the princi
ple. Before the invention of printing, seve
ral hundreds, say some thousands of manu
script writers made their living by their pens.
The printing press was invented. Their
occupat on was gone. But now many thou
sands, nay, tens and hundreds of thousands of
men are engaged in the work of printing—
making type—making paper—making presses
*—b riding bocks and various other collateral
woiks. The number of men engaged in
me-ely directing newspapers from the offices
of publication to subscribers, is probably great
er than the entire number of copyists, prior
to the change. An impulse was given to a
half dozen other occupations—or rather, as
many new ones became necessary. Now the
supply is vastly enhanced. Every one has
books and papers. The alteration has been
not more favorable to the wor d at large, than
to the classes who labor to gratify the tastes of
the world.
A like difference may obtain in many oilier
matters between anticipated and actual results, i
One efleet of the prohibition of Negro me
chanics would probably bo tin introduction of
vastly more foreign labor. The iff<ot of this
might be to keep down prices to the present
level, by the competition of a class cf per- ;
sons accustomed to an inferior inode of liv
ing. If, indeed, the effect would be to elevate
the price of articles manufactured, the legis
lation would operate injustice upon the par- !
ties who purchase and consume such articles.
Or if the legislation extended to the protec ion ,
of all classes, there would exist a more tension 1
—a legislative restriction—burdening all cla.s- j
es and benefiting none. If Mngrn l«b«» 1
employed in manufactures enlarges the
product, or the quality of the work, or dimin
ishes its price, then is it u> just to the rest of
the community to deprive them of the bene- '
fits thence accruing, unless some compensat
ing advantage is given. If this be given, it is
not at the expense of themselves, but of the
protected class. Then, the protection is
counterbalanced by an equivalent disadvan
tage, and government has interfered without
benefit to any one. We are much in favor of
non-intervention in most matters on the part
of government. Its sphere is, and ought to
be, as limited as possible.
The exclusion of Negro labor certainly
abstracts the mechanic’s chief chance to rise
in wealth, which is by the purchase of Negroes
and teaching them a trade. This is the means
by which the vast majority of such as attain
wealth have arrived at it.
False ideas are entertained by many as to
what ia ca'led a degrading association with
Negroes. There is no degradation whatever,
in doing the like labor with a slave, no more
than there is degradation in eating because
slaves eat, or in wearing clothes beoanse
slaves wear (hem. True degradation would
consist in selecting them as companions. No
one considers his wife degraded by sitting at
her sewing in the eame room with her Negro
seamstresses. Many a farmer—and a wealthy
one too —has his son spend a part of his
vacations in the field, at work with his hands.
Honest labor is incapable of degradation.
We have reason to believe that higher orders
of intelligences than our race do not spend
their time in idleness and vacuity.
Any legislative restriction cannot be bene
ficial to white mechanics, without being nnjust
as well to slave owners as to the consumers of
manufactured articles. Indeed, it might be
injurious neither to white mechanics nor to
the consumer, and yet prejudicial to the slave
owner. If the mechanical trades were not
profitable, slaves would not be employed at
them. There are checks against the excessive
employment of slave labor to be found in the
apprenticeship necessary to be served (daring
a time of life, at which, the slave would be
profitable) and in the inferior intelligence and
aptness of the slave. These checks have been
furnished by nature. If legislation interferes,
and the prinoipie of interference is once
established, we see no necessary limit in the
princ ; p’e, short of banishing slave labor alto
gether. If there be degradation in wielding a
hammer, because slaves wield hammers, we
cannot see why there should be such a diffe.
rence between a hammer and an axe, or a hoe,
as to do away with the degradation. The
truth is, that if the laboring in a like way be a
degradation, then the fact that the white man
labors at all as well as the Negro, is degrading
to the former. There is no limit except the
entire abolition of the one or the other. Ne
gro labor would, therefore, have to be abolish
ed entirely, byway of dignifying white labor,
or the latter be done away with, to avoid the
contamination of slave labor.
The principle is wrong, and the degrada
tion exists only in the ease (we have already
stated, of the choice of negroes as companions.
As to the danger of insurrections, one of the
arguments against allowing negroes to learn
trades, tha is a danger Bhared by all classes,
and whieh will, when it becomes at all consid
erable, attract general attention, and give rise
to the application of some preventive. There
is no peculiar cause for alarm on this subject
at the present time, so far as we are informed.
On tha whole, we should regard any legis
lation restrictive of the rights of slaveholders,
unnecessary to others, and injurious to them.
It could not benefit Mechanics unless by in
juring others; and we do not believe that it
would benefit (Asm. We believe it would bs
an unwise and untimely movement of govern
ment. We say this, not with the smallest feel
ing against mechanics. We believe we are
advocating their true interest. No movement
on their part is necessary to make ns believe
labor as respectable, and honorable as it ia
useful. The plan of associating themselves
in clubs or societies might prove a useful aux
iliary in the facilities it will afford for the ex
change of information. We have simply de
signed a discussion cf the effects of legislation,
not upon the interests of mechanics only, but
upon those cf all classes intere:ted The
question of policy has been briefly discussed,
without any imputation upon (he motive of
those who advocate a change and restriction
of our present policy.

AUGUSTA, GA. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 17, 1851.
South Carolina Election.
I
Air election took place throughout South
Carolina on Monday and Tuesday, for dele
gates to a “ Southern Congress”—itshould be
called a Sooth Carolina Congress, as no other
State has thought of sending a representation,
or at least made any move toward it. In
Charleston the largest vote ever given in the
city was polled, and it is conceded on ail hands
that the Secessionists are beaten horse, foot and
draggoons The S.andard claims a thousand
majority for the Co operation party. The
Mercury thus chronicles the result:
“Thb Election. — Wc publish below each of the
returns of the election as have reached us. It will
be perceived by the table of the city election that the
vote is the largest ever polled. The result, although
not officially known, is sufficiently well ascertained
The Co-operationiste havegiven to their ticketalaree
majority, and though it will be diminished by the j
Parishes, it cannot ba overcome. This result causes
us no surprise, and it will causo none in the Plate at ]
large. The indications were too dietinc*, that the
controlling interests cf trade had thrown Peir de
cisive power against the separate action of the State,
to allow any experienced politician much room to
hope that, for the present, Charleston could be
brought to sustain that measure. We profoundly
regret this result, because we are convinced that
with the State, united the act of secession would be
as simple and peaceful a measure in execution ns
any ordinary measure of legirlaticn 5 and wo arc
equally convinced that South Carolin.i, ns an Inde
pendent Stare would have a prosperity far Ic-yond
any thitig sha has heretofnre enjoyed, and a respec
tability that no Elaveholding State can ever again
enjoy in the Union.”
We have little doubt that the co operation
party have carried the State by a decided ma
jority; if so, it puts a quietus to Secession till
the malcontents of that State shall trump up
some other imaginary cause for the exercise of
this sovereign panacea.
A few days will give cs the complete re
turn a.
Telfair gives Cobb a majority of 70.
Two counties remain to be heard from, Irwin
and Clinch
As far as beard from 97 Union men and 21
Secessionists have been elected to the House ;
leaving 11 members to hear from, of which 7
will undoubtedly bo Union. The Union par
ty have probably elected 140 members, and
will have a majorUy of seventy six in the
House, end 25 in the Senate.

our painful task to announce the decease of
Commodore Lewis Warrington, of theU. S.
Navy. He died at his residence in this city,
yesterday morning, between 5 and 6 o’clock,
in the G9tli year of his age, after an illness of
severe suffering.
Com. Warrington was a native of Virginia.
He was born in November, 1782, and, after
passing bis academic course at William and
Mary College, entered the Navy in January,
1800 ; so that he bad served nearly fifty-two
years. His professional services and brilliant
achievements are interwoven with the history
of his country, and are conspicuous in some
of its brightest pages. He war almost the
only one left of that noble roll of brave naval
commanders who, in the war of 1812, achiev
ed so much glory for their country by their
brilliant victories against an enemy till then
deemed invincible.
To high professional merit Com. VV. added
an amiable disposition and a modesty which
won great personal esteem, and will make his
loss sincerely regretted by the society in
which he moved —Nat. Intel., 12th inst.

Completion of tie Great Russia Railway.—
The inauguration of the railway which con

The Czar, accompanied by the Etnpreas,
I the principal members of Ihe Imperial family,
1 several foreign Prinees, and attended by the
high officers of state and a numerous suite,
! quitted St. Petersburg!! at six o’clock n the
morning, and arrived at Moscow at half past
) eight in the evening. The distance is nearly
r five hundred m iles.
At the terminus they wera received t»y the

and a splendid staff, at the head of which the
, Emperor went into the city amid the firing ot
, guns and the acclamations of the people. Lar

but feeble hopes of reovery. Bubo pH adding
is represented, by a correspondent of the
Christian Adaccate, as very weak, but cbeer

to the primitive pattern of Methodist Bishops.
Bishop Hamline is also very feeble, ard ex
pects to survive but a little time.
Railroad Dust. —The Hartford Times
says that a car has been invented, aGd is now
running on the Vermont Central Railroad, that
is impervious to dust. We hope the invention
will be generally adopted. The dust and cin
ders are the great inconvenience in railroad
travelling. By covering the track with gravel
or with oyster shells the dust is prevented.
New York, Oct. 12.—The steamship Wash
ington, Capt. Floyd, which sailed from New
York on the 4 h inst. for Southampton and
j Bremen, wuh 32 passengers, broke her cross
tail link on the 7th and was fort ed to retnrn,
j arriving here to day. At the time of the acci-
she was going at her usual speed and
< steam, with fine weather. The accident can
not bo accounted for.
A Steam Fleet. —On Saturday a fleet of
seven first-class steamships sailed from New
York, viz : the United States mail steamer
‘Baltic,” for Liverpool; the British Iron steam
er ‘ Glasgow,’for Glasgow ; the United States
mail steamer ‘ Empire City,’ for Havana ; tho
‘Florida,’ for Savannah ; and the * Roanoke’
and the * City of Richmond ’ for Richmond.
Since Tuesday last the following steamor3
have sailod from New York, in addition to
those which ieft on Saturday, making twelve
in all:— ‘ Africa for Liverpool; ‘Merlin,’ for
Bermuda: ‘Prometheus,’ for San Juan de
Nicaragua ; “ Cherokee, ” for Chagres ;
' Winfield Scott,’ for New Orleans; and
‘ Southerner,’for Charleston. The departure
of sa large a number of ccGaa steamers in
so short a space of time, goes to show conclu*
sively the rapidity with which this mode of
conveyance is superse ing the sailing craft,
t’he time seems to be not far distant when
steam will be the only iro e ofpropn'siouused,
except in very long voyages.
Worth Knowing —A youung lady of this
city , whilo in the country some years ago,
stepped on a rusty nail, which ran through her
shoe and foot The inflammation and pain were
of course very great, and lockjaw was appre
hended. A friend of the family, however,
recommended the application of a beet taken
frtsh from the garden, and pounded fine, to
ti e wound. It was done and the effect was
very beneficial- Soon the ir flAnimation began
to subside, and by keeping on the crushed
beet, changing it fora fresh one as is virtue
seamed to become impaired, asps dv cure
was effected. Simple tut effectual remedies
like thss should be known by every body.—

Strange Development of Incendiarism
A correspondent of the B< ston Traveller writes
from South Berwick (Me.) on the S:h that
Benjamin Shillings, a trader of that place of
wealth and standing, had been arraigned and
bound over in $4,000 bonds for hiring J. S.
Wilkinson and J. C. Pray to turn the Metho
dirt church in that place, and also for aiding in
burning a barn,dwelling hansa, powder house,
academy, and blowing up the Baptist meeting
bouse, all in South Bewrick, a few months since.
Wilkinson, mentioned above, is the informer
upon whose evidence ho s charged. The in
ducements for committing these ac t are said
to have connexion with the sale of Pray
has aim boen held in bonds of SI,OOO, and
Andrew Joy, who confessed to settiug fire to
the house of Judge Hayes at the instigation of
Shillings, was also held at S7OO. All the ac
complices happened to be drunk at the time of
committing tno crimes. Tha development
caused great excitement in the neighoorbood,
and it is said further, that two of the incendia
ries have been arrested in Dover, (N. II.)
Th« Trad* of the Pacific.— The pro
gress of even s is rapidly bringing on the pe
riod when from our position on the shores of
the Pacific we shall confront the nations of the
East, with their innumerable populations, and
hold towards them similar relations to those
with which we are now connected with Eu
rope. The Indies, China, Japan, must soon
become as familiar to our commerce as England,
France and Germany are now.
The American people are not regarded usu
ally as being too diffident: the burden of j
charges against ns rests the other way. Yet it
is not to be denied that up to this moment we
have not risen to the full measure of that ap
preciation of ourselves, of our position and of
its responsibilities, that i 3 justly applicable and
which we cannot disparage or depreciate with
out an abandonment of duty. Such a naton
as this Republic is, cannot live in the family of
nations without taking her part in the affairs
of the world—a part, too, commensurate with
her dignity, her power, her destiny. We
must rule whether we will or no—or else ab
negate our rights and confess ourselves craven.
As the national representative, the only rep
resentative we may say, of free institutions, and
of the capacity of man to be great without the
need of the decorations of orders and titles
bestowed by one man upon men, or de
creed by acts of Parliament or hereditary
transmission, we camot shrink from the obli
gations which our attitnde involves. Wo stand
as a living rebuke to monarchical and aristo
cratical systems, as those systems exist else
where, and we cannot help it, if we aro to
stand at all. .
It is not that we are to be aggressive. Com
merce and the Arts are oar hand-niaidens;
and over them we are to hold the invincible
shield, and, if need be, the fiery sword of re
publican valor. It ia simply for us to hold our
own; to vindicate the reality of our position,
and to make the force of our existence felt
wheresoever the influence of its sphere shall
extend. Knowing no masters, the recognition
of our supremacy will cotue as a matur of
coarse ; it will pass into the world's conscious
ness like a law of nature and be as little dis
puted.
We began to tpeak of the commerce ol the
Paeifio, and il waa our purpose to allude, in
I that oonneetion, to the projected line of rail*
I way intended to unite the Valley of the Mis.
. sissippi with the ports of the Western Ocean,
i Now whether this great work is to be accom
[ plished note, by the aid of the Government di
t rectly applied to it, or whether it is to be left to
move along as population advances westward
by, and to make progress by sections, from
. time to time, the conclusion is certain and must
> be apparent to every mind, that the road is to
be made. To what better purpose the public
lands could be appropriated than to the con
i struction of this work, according to Mr. Ban
ton’s plan, which we must thiuk the most ra
t tional and statesmanlike of any yet proposed
—to what better purpose than this the public
domain could bo appropriated we are at a loss
to conjecture. If at th : s moment every acre
I of national territory belonrieg to the Govern
ment could be exchanged fora complete rail,
road from St Louis to Ssn Francisco, who
will deny that a good bargain would be had T
To render fully available the resources of
the Pacific trade an overland communication
from the Pacific to the Atlantic is Indispensa-
There may be as many routes by rail
i road or canal across the Isthmus, at various
points, as there are means and facilities for
opening them. But nothing can obviate tbe
necessity of an overland line across tha body
ol this continent, in accordance with the cur
rents of trade running between the commer
cial capitals of ihe world. We must have this
connection if we would hold control over the
trade of Asia and of Europe, keep it within
our limits aud de*iva the profits of it. And in
view of its lucrat ve na ure and of its vast
ne s, all the commercial history of past ages
tnay hide its head and disappear from compa
rison.—Baltimore American
