wld only bo t null par contain of those
districts which will afford slaves. De
grees would have n very considerable cost
tn Africa. The decrease in price would,
therefore, at the lowest, only go to that
point at whioh, the amount that purchasers
would pay, would yield a reasonable profit
'upon first cost, with the expense of shipment
added. Thus, the joint action of supply and
demand would mutate the price.
Again, the demand for the products of
slave labor would determine the demand for
negroes, and, consequently, fix the quantity
of importation. To say that the importa
tion would exceed the necessities of the coun
try is simply idle, because it is tantamount
to saying that men will buy that which they
-do not need; or, in other words, that they
-will give for a thing more than its value. —
It is true that there are sime who will al
low themselves to be cheated, and who will
waste their property, but when the general
assertion is made that men will purchase
that which ie not profitable to them, it is
simply false, because it says of all men what
da true of only a few individuals.
This brings us to a remark made lately
T>y a correspondent of the Constitutionalist,
which was not addressed to us, but which,
we feel at liberty to notice here, because
the remark is in the mouths of all those who
object to revival. The remark was this:

“Old Sands of Life.”
Dr. Hall of tbe Journal of Health, who
‘has invested the matter and analyzed the
drugs, finds that ths mixture, for which
••Old 8ands of Life” charges two dollars,
when made from the very purest and most
expensive materials used, costs exactly six

Should the land ordinance proposi

acceptance of the entire Constitution;
and should it be rejected, it will be a re
jection of the whole Constitution.—
We conceive that there is nothing
wrong in Congress making this .propo
sition to Kansas—nothing is more com
mon t han to suspend tbe admission of a
new State on its acceptance of a stipu
lation proposed bv Congress—as in the
cases of Michigan and Iowa.

Hovel Way of Editing a Paper.
On the trial of the old King of Delhi, the
' last of tbe Mogul Emperors iu India, the
prosecution introduced a witness named Chu-
wm who. it seems, was formerly a editor of
w newspaper called tbe Delhi News This
paper was conducted on a novel principle.—
The witness stated, the duty ot the editor
was to writs bis psper full and then carry
il around and read it to his subscribers.
He ought to have been required also, to
-furnish his subscribers with brains ts com-
rprsbeud what he read. We hope this new
fhagled fashion of editing will never teach

£>. Paper.
the people—Mr. Buchanan ami the
Southern people have contended that
that was a matter with the framers of
the Constitution—that they had tbe
right to submit it or not, just as they
saw proper. The abolitionists have de
clared that no more slave States shall
be admitted into this Union—the Con
stitution of Kansas tolerates slavery.
Every unprejudiced mind must admit
that the South has won the battle, and
that the Black Republicans hare been
badly whipped.
The original Lecompton ordinance
would have been worth to Kansas, in
land, about $30,000,000— tbe ordinance
of the new bill gives her land to the
amount of only $4,000,000. Thus the
G< neial Government will retain $26,-
000,000 worth of the public lands,
which would have been given to Kan
sas, bad she been admitted under the
original Lecompton Constitution.
In tbe House tbe South was a unit
with the exception of Messrs. Quitman
of Mississippi, and Bonham of South
Carolina. Both are strict State Rights
Democrats and Lecompton men, but re
garded ibe bill a? a concession to the
Republicans.

Both anti-Lecompton Americans, who
thought the South exacted too much in

it was all that it promised, and that the

in memory as a bright oasis of the past.

For this Messrs Winship and Dunning were

In tons weight, we are informed, it is e-

and over one hundred each of Blacksmith

we think, that Dr John W. Lewis has done
a good business in picking np old Iron —

Now, if Hale does not always get his

Gen. Cass to Lord Rapier.
General Case, in his letter to tbe British
Minister in reference to the snppression of
of the African slave-trade, remarks npon
the boarding and search of American by
British cruisers in the following decided
manner:
-Your lordship, while stating that it is
the habit of vessels on the African coast to
hoist the American flag as a protection a-
gainst British cruisers, remarks that .this
precaution does not protect tbe slaver from
visit, but exhonerates her from search.’
The distinction here taken between the right
of visitation and tbe right ot search, be
tween an entry for the purpose of
examining into tbe objects of a voyage, can
not jnstly be maintained npon any recogni
zed principle of the law of nations. To tbe
former. Lord Palmerston, in his correspon
dence with the American Minister to Lon

Purchase of Mount Vernon.
John A. Washington, Esq , owner of Mt.
Vernon, has contracted to convey it to the
Ladies' Mount Vernon Associatioc on their
compliance with the following terms :
The payment of two hundred thousand
dollars for two hundred acres of land, inclu
ding the mansion and landing place, and, a-
bove all the tomb. Eighteen thousand dol
lars to be paid on closing the contract, and
the remainder of the sum, in fonr bonds,
payable in yearly instalments, with the per
mission, after payment of the first bond, to
pay to Mr. Washington any amount of the
balance due, in sums of not less than $5,000,
which sums will be credited to the associs.
tion, in this manner lessening tbe interest.
The title to the estate and posession to be
given on payment of the principal and inter
est, and the privilege also granted ef obtain
ing possession, on thirty days’ notice, nt any
time the association may be ready to furnish,
tbe entire purchase money.
A pretty good trade that, on the- part off
Mr John A. Washington, we sbonld say.—
Two hundred thousand dollars for two hun
dred acres of land, and roost of it worm out
at that, will do pretty weli ! Apart from
its being the tomb of the immortal Washing
ton, we do not suppose the whole estate is
worth intrinsically fifty thousand- dollars.
So Mr Johm A. Washington has turned the
name and fame of his iilustrous kinsman to
good account, and has feathered his nest
most handsomely out of them. The terms,
too are liberal—over tbe left. Shylock
himself could not have been more exacting.
The association should stipulate in the con
tract of purchase, that Mr. John A Wash
ington should have his name changed to
that of Shylock, as we consider it perfettly
sacreligious for such a man to bear the sa
cred name of Washington .—Col. Sun.
