This redoubtable fowl, of tie Boston
cooh, had his feet knocked from under
him the other day,—slightly. The
Washington correspondent of the South
Carclinian thus presents tbe circn install
ces :
“A few days since Mr. Burlingame
made a very fierce speech, especially
pitching into the Northern “dough-fa
ces.” as lie calls the Lecompton Demo
crats. To this, Mr. Hughes, (Democrat)
of Indiana, replied. I copy a few sen
tences, that you may see how he han
dled the gentleman from Massachusetts,
of “Clifton House” notoriety r “Dough
faces !” says the gentleman from Massa
chusetts. “Sir I said in the pretence ot
many of inv constituents, ujton a tem
porary visit to my native State, “that if
every stump in Kansas was a negro—
every tree njion her soil a slave-driver
—I would vote for the admission of
Kansas tinder the Lecompton Constitu
tion.” There has been some controver
sy as to tbe otigin of this word “dough
face.” The correct etymology is “doe,”
a female deer; and I ihink that it de
rives significance from the fact that that
animal is exceedingly timid, and when
it comes to the water (brooks ?) and sees
its own image, it starts back with a-
fright. It well becomes tbe gentleman
front Massachusetts to talk about dough
faces. It becomes that gentleman to
talk'about timidity. This : s the defen
der of the Constitution from Massachu
setts! He is going to exterminate dough
faces. 1 tell him that when this race of
dough-faces is exterminated the Union ot
these States is at an end. Then the gen
tleman from ’Massachusetts will have an
opporlnnily of being confronted with
these Soot hern men, and I hope t hat lie
will behave himself better than he did
on a certain memorable occasion that
has passed.”

Decrease is Pbice. wot Detbeciatioh
or Valve
The strongest position taken by thoee who
object to Revival is this: that the tfctt of
decrease in the price ot negroes, would bn a
depreciation in the value of those now in tht
country. It is said, that the slaves which
we now have, would become less valuable to
their owners. The position is a false one.
and it ie folse because it is not true that
price and value ere the same thing.
It is not unnatural that the objection
should have weight on the minds of thoee
whs have not investigated the subject in all
its bearings Men are timid upon nil points
connected with properly. The? dread change
in the condition of property lest they lose —
It is the first duty of the friends of this
cause, to elucidate to the public mind the
reasons why the change, which the renewal
of slave importation would produce in the
price of negroes, would involve no reduction
in their real value to the preiHit owners, or
to the people of the South at large.
Those who have a property interest in ihe
price and value of negroes, may be divided
into three classes: 1st, buyers. 2d. owners,
or such as wish to hold 3d. sellers.
1st. Of ihe first, it is fair to suppose that
they are free from debt; cheapness with
them is not an objection. They seek only prof
it upon their capital. It can make no differ
ence with them whether they buy two men
at £500 apiece, and sell their labor one half
cheaper, or whether they buy only one man
for SI .000 and sell the result of his labor at
full price The per centum of profit will be
the same either way Hence, to the buyer
of negroes, the value is no less when he buys
negroes cheaply than when he pays a high
price Decrease in price can work no harm
to him in auy event. It vM be our business
hereafter to show that it might, benefit him.
2d Of the second class, owners, or those
who w sh to hold the negroes which they al
ready have, we remark, that if they can ac
complish the same purposes, after the Trade
is revived, which they will be able to effect,
if tt is not revived, they have no cause for
anxiety, and will have none for complaint.
Saw. it is not the number of dollars, ta
ken to he the measure of a man’s property,
but what he can effect with his property,
that constitutes its true value. Admitting
that the nominal price of the products of
slave tabor wonld be reduced hy importation
of more negroes, it does not follow that the
value of the la>K>r of the slaves, cow in the
country, would he lessened
For instance. Joes the owner of slaves pro
pose to invest the proceeds of their labor in
other slaves ? If the renewal of importation
wonld foree him to sell the product of bis
present slaves, at a reduced price, it would
also give hint an opportunity to purchase
other negroes at a price reduced in precisely
the inme ratio If Revival would compel
the planter .o sell his crop at half price, the
same cause would also enable him to hay
an additional slock of negroes at half price
Or. does he wish to invest in the products of
human lahoi ! If Revival would oblige him
te sell his crop at bail price, it would also
oblige,©!hers lose!I their wares to him at
half price. The same cause which by doub
ling the amount of cotton raised, wookicom
pel its sale at half price., would n'so doable
the amount of sugar raised, and therefore,
a hale of cotton would hoy »s many pounds
of sngar nftcr Revival as before An owner
could sustain no loss in the value of his
slaves, since he eouid purchase just as much
of any article after Revival ns before —
Therefore our measure can work do harm
to tbe second class < wners. Our purpose is
to show, in tbe end. that they will he bene-
fitted.
It will not do for the objectors to say
here, that owners might wish to aell their
negroes, because, in that case, they come
within tbe class of sellers, whom we notice
next.
3d. As it is in the matter of selling ne
groes, that men most naturally dread a re-
duction in price, wc have reserved to this
point a notice of some peculiarities of that
decrease in price, which would result from
importation
A present, distress and embarrassment is
the tSptnnels of hnsinese, are the cause,
not a resu.t. of a fall in the price of negroes.
Men confound the cause with the effect, and
hence conclude that loss is necessarily at
tendant upon reduction in the price of ne
grocs. Now unless one lie much in debt be
need not sell his negroes, hut may remain
in tbe class of owners.
More ary d tfi. uuies consequent upon
ill-advised speculations, or the stagnations
of trade caused hy auy and all cireumstan
ces. render necessary the sudden and forced
collection of private debts Now the debt
ors of tbe country are the only ones who are
to be placed in tbe third class, because he
who is not in debt need not sell unless he
could do it in a way favorable to bis own
interest Debtors may have to sell their ne
groes. and i hey ate most likeiy to be compel
led to set: a> the very time, when of alt oth
era. capital retires from the inaiket and
Thus the price of the
negro gose down and the amount of loss I*
exaexy proportioned to the amount of debt.
At present, then it is debt which crowds ne
groe* to market in such quautides as to pro
duce loss
