D. W—u. ONO oe WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Number of Slaveholders in the United States —The Abolitionists make itone of the most frequent of their points of attack upon slavery that the actual number of slavehold- ers, as given by the census, is only about 350,- 000, or one-seventeenth of tho entire white population of the South, and that this “ oli- garchy,”’ while it does not represent the in- terests of the great mass of the people, con- trols the action both of the State and Federal Governments. In the first place, the 350,000 slaveholders represent nearly an equal num ber of families, all the members of which have an equal degree of interest in slavery. Now, making the census estimate of 5 7 toa family, the restilt will be 2,000,000, or about one-third of the t'ta! white population who havea direct interost in the institution. Of the remainder a large number are indircotly interested, in- somuch as though, at present, they may be too poor, or other circumstances may prevent them from owning slaves, yet they entertain the hope and reasonable expectation of being sble, at some future period, to possess them- selves of this species of property. There is another class of persons who, possibly withoul the desire to own slaves, yet regard slavery it- self as a valuable political and social institat‘on, and therafore feel the same desire for its preser- vation as if they were pecuniarily concerned. There is ;vet another class, still more numerous, who from motives common to human nature, such as we cannot approve, yet at the samo time canuot severely condemn, as man is con- stituted, esteem their own freedom, in the language of Burke, ‘‘ns a privilege and an enjoyment,’’ contrasted with the condition of the servile class below them. The humblest white man feels, and the feeling gives him a certain dignity of character, that where there ure slaves he is not at the foot of the eocial ladder, and his own status is not tho lowest in the community. This feeling does not make him regard labor generally as degra- ding, but only menial labor, such as a free- man could not perform without loss of relf- respect. No Southern man could be induced to black bis employer’s boots or attend at his table, while he might not have the slightest objection to work in the field or in the shop even by the side of the negro It will be perceived, then, that although the actual number of slaveholders is only about 350,000, the entire Southern commu- nity is, directly or indirectly, pecuniarily or for social, moral or political reasona, interost- ed in tho preservation of slavery it may be that slaveholders influence and control the policy of the local, and, to a certain extent, of the General Government, but we do not perceive that this is a disparagement to them unless it be proved that they acquire or uso their power unjustly. On the contrary, it is creditable to them that they have the char- acter to acquire and the talonts ts wicld this influence. If they rule their fellows, it is not by divine right, or because they are privi- leged by the laws so to do, but because they have honorably won their positions by the gifts of nature, or by superior culture. The road to honors and preferment is closed to none to ang greater extent in the South than in the North, and humble talents may thero, as elsewhere, secure their appropriate reward Stavebolders of the South have not been the least distinguished of the great men who have illustrated the annals and conferred glory upon our commoncountry: They may fairly claim to have contributed their full share to the national reputation, whether by deeds of arms or by peaceful achievement in the legislative ball, the forum, the cabinet, or the moro retired walks of literature. Nicaragua.—Some days ago we were in- formed by several gentlemen, who had ar- rived from Nicaragua direct, that General Walker's prospects wore growing brighter and brighter, and that there was no doubt what- soever of his ultimate triumph over enemies within and foes without the borders of that Central American military republic. The rewspaper accounts, however, as late as the 18th of August, are not so encouraging to the friends of the enterprise in which Walker is engeged, and now it is said “ his fate is soon to be decided by a battle.’’ At Greytown there was no scarcity of rumors, which, wo are informed, ‘‘ must be received with extreme caution ;’’ and among them aro the following : ‘Guatemala is said to be advancing with 4,000 men under Carrera, and Costa Rica has notified her intention of again trying her for tune under the same commander lives still holds his position at Leon with 700 mon, and is fortifying its outposts. If deserters aro to be believed, Walker 8 position at the present is very critical, to say the least.” It is stated, with much parade, that (icneral Walker is from time to time receiving recruits from this country, and now an agent of his, Colonel Young, is in our neighborhood— Alexandria—for the purpose of encouraging emigration to and sccuring material aid in behalf of Nicaragua—in continuation of his mission in other cities. From this it is rea. zonable to infer that the native population are either unfit for soldiers, or are not enthusias- tic in the eupport of the measures which he has inaugurated ; hence the military powet necessary to uphold his cause must be drawn from the United States, which, owing to the divisions of the inhabitants, places his move- ment in tho light of an attempted conquest— men from this country against thejRivas party of the republic, forthe mastery. Colonel Wheeler, the United States Minis- ter to Nicaragua, has recognised Walker's new Government, as the newspapers weeks ago informed us ; and in consequence of this fact, Walker bas appointed another envoy to this Government, in the pereon of Mr. Smith, of Now York, who, if rumor tells the truth, is not even a citizen of Nicaragua—he being a substitute for Padre Vijil, who was received in the onpacity of minister in May Iast We are satisfied that our Government will not, at present, receive a minister from Nica- Tagua, owing to the unsettled political condi- tion of that country, if for no other reason.
