of others, and sinngthsnsd and prospered our
nation, while others ham tellen Into vice and de
cay by tha dtmrsion of labor from the plow, and
the workshop to ths tsated flsld, or tha decks of
their naval merino. Those laws ire tho evidences
of oarjaitloe and fair daallng as,a member of tho
groat temlty of nations, and while thalr tetthfal
execution by the present nod past ndmlntstmtions
has secured ns the respect end good will of both
tho strong and Urn weak, and especially tho latter,
their good effeoto upon the vast oommsrolal Inte
rests of onr country have been lnealealable. But
these considerations ora nothing when weighed In
tho balanoe with the ambitious and adventurous
spirits of tha present day. These laws are In the
way of certain political projects of a class of men
who despise the wisdom of the past, and they are
to be pnlled down and demolished. The InoeptlvC
stops have already bean taken in the Honse of
Representatives, and we know men, who ham
hitherto ranked among the wise and prodent of.
our talers, that are willing and ready to lend a
helping hand to tho sacrilege. This will be seen
whoa the subject comss ap again for discussion.
It is a proof of the evil tandeney of the times, and
the gigantie proportions into whioh lawlessness
and a contempt of moral restraint ham grown np
in the land.
It is not onr purpose now to enter upon the dls-
eusslon of this question, and wo alluda to it simply
to call, at an oarly day, tha attention of tha Con
servative, peaoe-lovlng men of tho country to the
subject. Are they prepared to uproot a beneficent
and time-honored policy of thp government for
the benefit of political asptranta and desperate ad
venturers for gain T Are they prepared to soo tho
eountry embroiled in (breign wars, and her great
industrial pursuits prostrated and erushed f Are
they willing to discord good faith, justice and
truth from our relations with tha rest of mankind,
and to eonvart this noble asylum of liberty and
virtue into a hot-bed of freebootors and pirates f
We hope not. Let, then, the honest and just men
of all parties speak out againetthls outrage that is
sought to be perpetrated upon the national charac
ter, before it ii too lata.
This movement for repeal is designed for tho
overthrow of tho tweak, and ie a disgrace to a bravo
and magnanimous people. But itaeffeota upon
ourselves' will not he confined to a straggle with
the weak alone. The nations of the earth are
vigilant and jealous; nor are they insensible to
the wrongs of others. Self-interest and sympathy
for tha iqjnred, will raise up enemies around us on
every side and Involve ns In bloody, expensive
and protracted wars, as corrupting to tho morals,
os they will be destructive to the prosperity, of the
oonntry.
Wo arc pleased to see that the bettor portion of
the Demooratio and neutral press are not insensible
to the claims of this subject, bat art sounding the
alarm, and protesting against the innovation. We
find tho following sentiments in a late Lumber of
the Philadelphia Lodger, and oopy them with nn
expression of onr cordial approval and endorse
ment:
“ Some of Walker's sympathizers wish the non.
trality taws repealed, so/that any one who chooses
to make war apon States neighboring to the United
States may do so without any legal ebsok. %
"The neutralityUwa are moreneoeszarynow
an ever. If it were not for them every band of
oat-laws who choose would have it in their power
to involve this country in war. Every ooaniry on
this continent with wealth enough to tempt the
cupidity of avarioe would be liable to invasion
from the dosperadues who rely upon brate courage
and not their industry to carve out their fortunes
in the world. Onr country, instead of maintain
ing a proud position among -the nations of the
north, would become an asylum for all the outlaws
in the world, where thoy eonld safely concoot
schemes of plunder and of aggression against the
rezt of mankind. How long would other nations
ondure such treatment? We would soon have a
combination of all of them against us,for ws could
not allow onr territory to bo usod for hostile pur
poses against others and escape their just resent
ment.
"Recent experience shows too strongly the
wisdom of the neutrality laws to allow them to be
now tampered with. Without such laws wt should
before now have been involved in a war with
Spain, and perhaps with other Powers of Europe.
Even with them it requires great prudence and
foresight to avoid the dangers which designing
adventurers seek to involve us in, they having
nothing at stake themseivee and earing nothing
for the country except so tar os they may use its
power to further their own schemes of aggression.
"Let tha neutrality laws alone. Our Govern
ment, when it has a foreign policy to parsae tbat
is just, may do so openly and in the taco of the
world. It does not requiro the aid of filibusters
to holp achieve trbst destiny has marked out for,
this nation to accomplish.".

The New Orleans Bulletin, in an article upon the
naval and military expedition now being fitted
out by Louis Napoleon, for the Island of Mada-
gascsr, says the expedition, it is believed, will be
strictly a military one, and the object will be to
invade and ocoupy the country precisely in the
same manner as the previous military expeditions
sent out by Francs. She bos alreadj a foothold
in Madagascar; having been in possession of two
forts on the southeast eosst since the reign of
Lonis XIV., and likewise a small garrison of
troops sent there some time ago from the Isle of
Bourbon. It would be no great struggle with the
natives, with the immense force Franoe eonld
eommand, to take possession of the whole island.
From all aceounts, Madagascar wontd be a
most valuable acquisition to France. The island
lying on the eastern «oast of Africa, from which
it is separated by tbo Mozambique channel, ii
some eight or nine hnndred miles long by three or
four hundred wide, and containing at the present
day, at the most mndorate estimate, some 1,600,.
000 or 2,000,000 souls. The soil is remarkably
fertile and well watered, yielding almost every
description of tropical produce, and abounding
in large herds of cattle. Sickness is principally
confined to tho coast, which, however, is by no
means generally insalubrious. Tho resources of the
oountry are undoubtedly great; and It has recent
ly been discovered tbat the cotton plant flourishes
there, and produces abundantly.
The present ie an auspicious time for Franco to
undertake the subjugation of this magnificent
country, with the vlow of incorporating it into the
territory of Franoe with (be rest of her African
oolonlss. 8bebssaU tbo essenttnl material on

by the Holy Spirit in saving souls from death nnd
raising them to heaven. The convention of dele

“The Publishing Committee have honestly on-

tble oompact as expressed in the Constitution. In
their drofsions on nvsrythtng proposed for publi
cation; but they lay ho elaun to infallibUity in

of this compact may hqva boen desired by Individ-
ual members, of the Committee, and by others;
but the' Committee have done nothing knowingly
to offend one another, or evangelical Obriitlani
elsewhere.
"Almost nothing specifically disonssing the evils
of slavery has evsr laid before them. It seems to
have been understood by the whole community,
that the subject of slavery, in Its aspects of polit
ical, national, and sectional strife, oould not be
diicuisod by .this Soolety. Yet there are other as
pects of the subject and of duties and evils oon-
nested with it, In which it might ho hoped that
evangelioul Christians, North and South, would
agree; aud so tar as this is the tact, and tracts of
this character, breathing tba love of Christ, and
promising usetalneis, shall bo presented, the Com-
mittro know no reason why they shontd not be
Droved and published.
‘As to the propriety of having In some oases
omitted from a book a few words or phrases whioh
Christians at- tho South would regard as autrnth-
ful, harsh, or denunciatory, if the Commltteo have
misjudged and inch omissions were needless, they
have no desire to perpetuate them; or if the terms
omfrfetf would be offensive to some evangelical
Christians, and tA«i>omfr*fow is offensive to others,
tha books thns abridged might be dropped, how
ever fail the testimony to the evils of slavery
whioh is now borne in the Booiety’s editions of
those books.

* Frexch Discourtesy.—Wo regret to learn, says
the Washington Star, that when recently in Paris,
on their way home, tbo commission of United
States army officers who were sent to the Crimea
for professional observation, were subjeoted to rode
treatment by officials of the French Government.
Copies of certain drawings, Ao., had been prom
ised to them when in Paris on their way to the
Crimea, whioh were ■nbseqnontly harshly refused, j
as explained above, because, as the French offi- j
eiels declared, when they next met the American ,
offioep it would probably beat the cannon'e mouth. ,
Another Slice or Mexico.—On the authority
of a letter from Moxico, which it inserts, the
Journal of Commerce states that oar Minister to
Mexico has essentially adjusted the terms of a
Convontion with tbo Comonfort administration,
by which we are to acquire another slice of Mexi
can Territory—bow large is not stated, norths

the exclusive privilege of the Isthmus, at the time
when he was in correspondence with Costa Rica.
Yhi.low Fiver.—The Herald thus alludes to
the apprehensions of some tbat Now York will be
visited by this dreadfal scourge during the com
ing season:
Alarmists are at work already promising ns the
yellow fever this summer. It is well that people
should know this is tho merest trash. Whatever
be the truth of the question of contagion, is certain
that yellow fever oannot live without a constant
supply of miasma, which, thank God, it cannot
get here. It never prevails as an epidemlo oat'
of plaoes in whose vicinity there are ewaraps or
fetid pools, or other stagnant water, whioh tho
fierce dog day san evaporates. In olden time,
wheu tho yellow fever raged here, (ho Collect ex
isted; Bookman street was a sluggish stream,
with occasional pools; Broad street was a swampy
arm of the sea: there was a marsh at Canal street
andbeyond;
. plenty of room everywhere for yel
low fever. All these hnvo disappeared now, and
with thorn all ohance of yellow fever.
WAsniNOTON Tbaoedy.—The circumstances at
tending the shooting of tho waiter at Willard's
Hotol in Washington, are the so:
" Mr. Horbort went to breakfast late, and while
eating got into a dispute with the head waltor.—
Sharp words followed, and tbo other waiter/ crowd
ing up, commenced an attack on Mr. H. with
chairs, plates, Ao. Mr. Horbert, with the assist-
ahoo of another gentleman, defended himself until
it was evident the waiters intended to kill him,
and he then fired with fatal result.
The affair created great excitement among the
members of Congress. Mr. Herbert is said to be a
quiet and inoffensive man.

very simple one. By ite constitution the Tract
Society exists in order " to diflUso a knowledge of
our Lord and Saviour Joins Christ as the Redeem
er of sinners, and to promote the interests of vital
godliness and sound morality, by the circulation of
religious publications calculated to receive the ap
probation or all evangelical Christians." It Is im
pliedly restrained from "olreatating any religious
S ublioetlon" which cannot "receive the approba-
on of Evangelioal Christians" in the South: the
thing the Oongragetlonaiista wish it to do. They
went to abolUloniM it, andtnake ita tracts engtnea
of political agitation; it npltee by refering to its
constitution, whleh points out its sphere, as, clear
ly end ntamlatakebly beyond the pole of contro
versy.
Nor does a reference to the dictates of common
sense lead to enj^othor conclusion. The object of
tract societies is to publish and sell books oneoper
than the trade can; the supposed loss on their snlo
being made np by the contributions of tho faithful
who ara impressed with the belief that it behoves
the poor to read tho books so published for the
good of their souls. It Is quite evldont that (he
larger the society, the wider ita field, and the more
iUoi ‘ “ ■
notional its oharaoter, the botter will it be able to
fulfill its purpose. One great society appealing to
the benovolenco of the wholo country will obvi
ously effect far more than two rival sectional soci
eties, animated with more or less bitterness toward
each other, and damping ns well ns dividing the
puhlio liberality. If the Traot Soolety oontinuos
anitod, it will absorb a largo portion of tho money
that is set apart every year for purposes of benev
olence, and will be able to publish many books,
and give them away; If it be divided, it will be
crippled in ita means, and the mass of alms-glvers,
seeing the two Motions wrangling about political
questions, with whioh neither has any concern,
and over the settlement of which noither can exer
cize the least influence, will giro their money to
other and safer institutions.

The X. Jersey Amerkenn State Connell.
Bqrdentown, N. J., May 7.—The American
State Couooil met here this morning at 10 o'clock.
A great deal of angry discussion occurred in refer-
enco-to the Philadelphia convention of Feb. 22d.
A committee was appointed to make a report.
Ono of the delegates stated that the nomination
of Mr. Fillmore was not fairly obtained—that it
was done by the Southern and Spurious delegates.
The statement was confirmed by Judge Marsh, the
president of tho late convention at Philadelphia.
Several delegates gave ibeir opinion that if the
nomination of Mr. Fillmore was ratified hy the
Stato Council it would loso New Jersey to tho
Amorican party. It was then agreed to take no
further stops towards ratifying the nomination of
Mr. Fillmore until he wss heard from in reference
to his Americanism. The whole subject'was then
laid upon the table and tho Siato Council adjourn
ed lo meet on the 28th of May at Newark, No
delegates were eleoted to tho National Council.
Great Trot Betwebn Lantern and Bus.—
Purse $10,000.—On Tuesday an immonse con
course of persons attended the opening ’of- the
races over the Union Courso on Long Island, to
races over the Union uoureo on Long Island, to
wJlnoss a great trotting match between b.g.Lantern
and b. g. Bus, mile heats, best three in five, in har
ness, for ten thousand dollars—being the largest
•take evor trotted for in any eountry. Lantprn is
owned by Ool. James Hall, of New York; Bus is
owned by a gentleman of Philadelphia. Lantern
walked very lame when he first mndo his appear
ance on the track, the oonsequence of which was
the betting was largely against him. The follow
ing is the resuit of oach heat;
Firet Heat.—After considerable scoring they got
off well together, Bus on the inside. Lantern
took the lead ns they went round on tbo apnor
turn, and got about a longth ahead. On reaching
the half milo pole, Bus mado a vigorous effort to
pass him, bnt was unsuccessful. Ho got up to his
wheel, but could get no farther. Lnh torn pursued
the even tenor of bis way and reaohed tbo score
about two lengths ahead, in 2;35.
Second Heat,—Lantern now had tho inside. At
the word thoy went' away like rockets, the pace
bolng quicker t^an in the preceding heat. Lnntorn
led to tbo quarter pole, when Bus, after making a
mighty effort, passed him. lie retained his nd-
vantagewntttnheySnterW on tho home stretch,
when Lantern increased his pace, lappod him, and
thoy oame to the atend together, in 2:822—a dead
beat.
Third Heat.—This was a spirited and well con
tested heat, and was doubtful almost up to the last
moment. Lantern led off, and at tbo quarter polo
was about a length ahead. They continued in this
position, notwithstanding the repeated and vigor
ous brushes of Bus to ehango places, and came
home,.Lnntorn in front, in 2:314.
Fourth Heat,—Lantern had already won two
heats out of threo, and seemed as fresh and vigor
ous after the tremendous struggle on tho last heat
as If he were just,entering on the contest. His
lameness did not npposr to affoct him any more
than at first, and apponranoet wero altogether in
his favor. They got off at the word well togother,
but as thoy rounded the upper turn Lantern ap
peared in front. Ho Increased his distance a cou-
pie of lengths, and there remained during tho
greater part of the race. Bus mndo soveral fruit
less efforts to get up to him, but It was ns muoh
as he oould do. to save his distance. Lantern
oame home an easy winner of the heat and money
In 2:37.
Lantern was, of oourse, declared tho wlnnof.
The time, it is said, is the best ever made so early
in tho season.

Unequal Distribution or Wxaltr in thi
British Dominions.—We find it stated in Bor-
en'e Political Economy that "the in equality in
the distribution of wealth in England is greater
than any other civilised nation; and ber nobility
and gentry are wealthier, more intelligent more
highly enitlvated, more influential, and more se
cure in the possession of their power and proper
ty than the corresponding elasses now existing,
or that ever have existed, in any country of the
world. Five noblemen, the Marquis of Brondol-
bane, tho Dukes of Argyle, Athol, Bntberland
and Bacoleucb, own perhaps one-fiiurth of all
Scotland. I havo already quoted tbo assertion of
M. do Leverage, tbat 2,000 proprietors possess
among them one-third of the lend and total rove-
nuo of the three kingdoms of England, Scotland
and Ireland. It is admitted that, ujato 1848, there
wore not more that 6,000 Seotob and 8,000 Irish
land owners; and good reasons have been ad
duced for the opinion tbat there ore only 46,000
who should be olassod as landed proprietors in
England. About 60,000 familios, then, own all
the territory which Is occupied by over twenty-
seven millions of inhabitants."
These facts are sufficient to show why the la
boring classes in England are less wealthy, less
intelligent and less influential than those in this
country. They have not, and can not have, the
incentives to effort, that give a spar to the native
onergy of onr farmers and artisans. They must
remain tenants, or hired workman, and conse
quently, havo no higher aim than to earn day by
day their daily bread. The hope of iudopen-
donee cannot be theirs. Their lives Bro little
else than a monotony of toil, uncheered by those
considerations tbat give a vigor to muscle, and
nervo tbo will in its determination "to labor and
to wait."
Prosperity op Telegraph Lines—We leora
that tho prerant season far exceeds nil previous
years in the amount of business transacted by the
various telSgraph lines out of this city, and the
profits of tho Companies are correspondingly large.
The net income of one of the Southern lines, with
a paid np cash capital of loss than one hundred
thousand dollars, has, we understand, reached as
high as five tbouaonddoijars per month. It would
thus appear that there is an ample flold for a new
Line to the South, and we are gratified to learn
that the publio will soon bo favored with greatly
increased telegraph facilities, ot a large reduction
from the present exorbitant rates of tariff between
this city and Washington. The threo heavy Eng
lish cables destined for the new Southern Line,
whioh has been in oourse of construction for six
raontna past, between this city and Philadelphia,
wore laid down successfully yesterday, first nt the
Narrows, from a point jnst north of Fort Hamil
ton, Long Island, to a point on tho northerly side
of Fort Richmond, on Staten Island; second at
Hell Gate, botween tho Ferry Slips, and the third
at tbo Kills, between the steamboat wharf at Ber
gen Point, Now Jorsey, to Port Richmond, Staten
Island,—thus securing a direot connection between
this city, Astoria, Williamsburgb, Brooklyn, Fort
Hamilton, Staten Island, Jorsey City, nnd thence
by Elizabethtown, Doylostowo, and Norristown,
to Philadelphia. The new Line will be opened
about tho middle of the present month, and will
be worked under the Hughe's Patent, which is bo-
iteved to possess extraordinary advantages overall
other telegraph inventions, printing the message
unerringly correct and In plain Roman capitals,
and capable of transmitting intelligence at the
rate of abat 5,000 words per hour over one wire,
or 2,SOO words from each cad, end at the some in

Extensive Black Mail Operation—The N.
Y. Tribuno gives an account of the swindling of a

said to havo taken place 18 years ago, nnd since
that time tbo victim has been held by Brown lo
tho tune of from $50,000 to $150,000 rather than
bonr exposure. The police, as well us prominent
oitisenB, havo for years been aware of tho circum

Brown to justice, preferring rathor to lose his for-
tuno than his good name. The last haul Brown
made was a deed of somo property located nt Har
