EVENING STAR. w As NGTON CITY: FPRIDAY..... -coeeeSuly 24, 1857. SPIKITIOF THE MORNING PRESS. The Unron this morning publishes an able and interesting address to the Richmond (Va.) Mechanics’ Institute, by Gov. Wise, which, like everything else from his pen. is interesting and eloquent ; and announces that ex-Gov. Wright, of Indiana, now here, leaves New York on Sat- urday for his post as U. S. Minister to Prussia. The Union also replies to a charge of the Wilmington (N.C.) Journal, that it has in- dulged in denunciations of the States Rights wing of the Democracy of the South, in defend- ing the course of Gov. Walker; denying, earn- estly, that it has done anything of the sort, and quoting a previous article from its owncolumns to show that it expressly and designedly re- frained from expressing an opinion with refer- ence to the speeches and writings of Governor W. which proved offensive to so many of the States Rights newspapers. In the same arti- cle, the Unzon defends the purposes and gen- eral course of Gov. Walker with earnestness and zeal. The Intel/igencer publishes the following list of the eases that have so far been disposed of by the Maval Courts of Inquiry now in session in this city.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Tus Arrrextice Systeu.—Yesterday, we took occasion to commence the discussion of Britain's very last scheme to destroy our na- tional prosperity based on our production and exportation of cotton, rice, and tebacco—the new-fangled African Apprenticej system. We were then only able to slow that it involves a sweeping acknowledgment that the continuance of African slavery is, after all her labors and violations of all international law, right and justice to dostroy it, absolutely necessary to the condition of civilized society—to supply wants of that society which long since became neces- saries of life to it—cotton, coffee, rice, tobacco, sugar, &c. The worldyet uncrazed with abo- litionism will. in due time, come properly to ap- preciate this gvod erat demonstrandum of the arguments of the London Times and all the recent English commercial publications; and when appreciated, we look forward to find com- mon sense upon the subject of African slavery in our own eountry, again reasserting its empire over the minds of the masses of the non-slave- holding States of this Union, who are prover- bially shrewd of apprehension where their own material interests are directly concerned; as they are, in the preservation of the great export commerce of the United States. three-fourths of the profits of which eventually find their way into their pockets. through our system of duties on imports and laws regulating the coastwise trade of the United States, and also by and through the remarkable aptitude of our North- ern population for trade and the mechauical arts, which would have nothing to feed on, soas to make it accomplish much more than the sup- ply of the home demand, but for the profits, op- portunities, wants and inducements growing out of the fact that the Southern United States, by and through the fuellities and advantages of the existence of slavery within them, are well nigh wholly and exclusively engaged iy the production of the exports of the country. England, as we remarked yesterday, is al- ready engaged in a deep intrigue to compass the adoption of her new systenr in the Spanish West India islands simultaneous with her con- templated adoption of it in hers—France hay- ing already contracted for the delivery in Mar- tinique and Guaduloupe. of some thousands of savages from the interior of Africa, to be shipped from the present so well known slave barracoons, and to cost the planter, landed in the West Indies, twelve franes a month for a period of twelve years; when they are to be “sent back to Africa if surviving, which will not be the case with five in a hundred of them. Two francs per month of their pay is to be re- served to pay the expenses of their obtainment, voyage out, dc. So, the actual pay to the negro (if ever realizing it) is to be two dollars per month—about one-third of the interest (at 6 per cent.) on the average value of a grown mate field hand in the United States. For centuries past, negroes have been ex- ported from Afriea for laborers. In all that time, if undisputed history tells the truth, not one has left his native land voluntarily. Here and there a Krooman has performed a voyage asaséaman. But the Kroomen are not oue of the tribes ever enslaved. They are all brought down to the coast as prisoners—slaves before coming into possession of the whites. Their condition. without the intervention of the slave- trade with the whites, is precisely what it has been since Pharaoh's time—as far back as the knowledge of man extends. This is made man- ifest in the records of the Pyramids, from which time to the present, nearly every African of the tribes in question taken prisoners in war by neighboring tribes or other peoples, has been enslaved when not massacred. Every effort of the philanthropy of this and every past age to gain a foothold in the region of Africa where the slaves shipped to America are taken in war, has proved abortive. Aéthis moment, as little has been done by English and American phi- lanthropy towards changing the habits and cus- toms of the tribes in the interior of Southern and Central Africa, in this and any other re- spect whatever, as on the day after that on which the foolish idea of the regeneration of those por- tions of that continent, sealed against such cf- forts by physical disabilities, decreed by an all- wise and inscrutable Providence. No more remarkable proof of the finite char- acter and impotence of man, when compared with the wisdom and power of the Deity is in existence, than the invariable failure of all efforts to change the characteristics and status of the negro race wherever it exists in numbers. We mention these facts by way of enforcing the truth of our declaration of yester- day, that the proposed new scheme of supply- ing the West Indies with African labor involves the renewal of the slave trade on a grander seale than it has ever been carried on, even when it was not piracy in the eye of the law, as at present; and also a continuation of African slavery under another name, and accompanied by hardships and cruelties such as are not in- flicted on African slaves anywhere in America at the present time ; though some of them now practised and spffered, are bad enough in all conscience. Thus, the employers of the im- ported “‘apprentice,* not being their owners in fee, will be utterly without inducement to care for their comfort, health, reproduction, &c. Their policy will be to get as much out of them in the twelve years as possible. Wherever, as in some employments in some slaveholding countries, the labor of the negro for a few years forced to his utmost capacity, is worth more than the preservation of the capi- tal invested in him and his reproduction, he is worked, literally, to death. That is to say, of every hundred children born among them, not five, or at most, ten, are reared, and the stocks are kept up by new importations. We have seen this state of things under our own eyes, and know well that when all property in the negro shall be abolished in the West Indies, and it shall be lawful to renew the supply at will, the planter will, in the twelve years or less time, so work him as to unfit him for any profitable labor for his own sustenance there- after ; if not into his grave long before his term is up—as Chinese “apprentices’’ are now no- toriously worked in the Chincha islands. So far as the relative philanthropy of the two systems of African slavery is concerned, our mind shrinks with horror from the contempla- tion of this new devilish scheme by which Britain seeks to recover from the effects on her industrial interests of the abolishment of slavery in the West Indies, and at the same time to effeet the object she aimed to accom- plish through its abolishment in her West India possessions. That is, to destroy our com- mereial advantages resulting from its exis- tence in our southern United States in its mildest form known to the history of African slavery, from the days of the pyramids to this moment; in the only form and under the only combination of circumstances wherein the negro race has progressed in the scale of civilization— of moral, intellectual and physical advance- ment. But we may not dwell too long on this branch of our subject—on the proof that the scheme involves a great increase of all the to- be-deplored attributes and concomitants of African slavery as it now exists, and the re- newal of what our laws and those of England Proclaim to be piracy, on a greater scale than ithas ever been practiced—the slave trade. England secks to enlist the planters of Cuba n favor of the change by appealing to their cupidity. By showing what is doubtless truc, so far as we can now perceive. Viz: that, under it, the slave wil} cost Jess and yield a heavier 6 profit; for the plariter well knows that if he can renew hissupply at will, by an outlay of some two dollars per month per hand (for wages) without investing a dollar of capital in pur- chasing outright, he ¢an make most money by so driving his hands as to work them to death as speedily as possible. He knows well that no system of police over his plantation can be es- tablished which will take from him the absolute control of his hands—igtiorant savages, who do not speak the language of the country, and are from that cause and a thousand others utterly incompetent to make their bad treatment known to the authorities, in ninety-nine in every hundred eases where it will be practiced. By way of showing how England is appeal- ing to the cupidity of the planters as mentioned above, we make the following extract from the London Times : “Take first the interest of the planter, fairly considered. A slave costs £140; a free black em- i, t could be landed in the West Indies for shout £7 10s., leaving a difference in the first price large enough to cover an infinity of minor expenses. In fact, as rds outlay, there is no doubt that the balance would be in favor of free labor, At some of the seasons of urecncy it is possible that a planter might miss that power of operation whieh an absolute command over the bodies of his slaves insured, but against this con- sideration how many others may be set! There would be no fear of disturbances or insurrections, no smonidering fire under the surface of things ready at any moment to explode in devastation and havoc. “There would be no danger of inter- cepted supplies, such as the increased efliciency of the preventive squadron might at any time bring about, or the policy of the Supreme Gov- erninent occasion, Alt would be lawful, regular, and certain. ‘+ At present the Cuban planters mast needs feel that they are under the perpetual risk of those importations on which they depen deed, the proposed employment of the gunboa may perhaps yo far toward producing sach a r sult; whereas, when free emigration is once e: tablished such perils will cease. In Africa the consequences of such a system might be ben cial in theextreme. As captives would no lon be saleable it is reasonable to expect they would no longer be made, and with the motives thus re- moved would be removed also the principal causes of intentine war. ‘Then, again, it would be scarcely possible to i ne proceedings better calculated for the ultimate civilization and conver- sion of the whole African race. ‘The substitution of a lawful safe, and well frequented highway for the dreadful middle passage, the establish- ment of recognized agencies on African territory, the return of free blacks to their country after in- tercourse and familiarity with more civilized races and habits—all these things would tend necessarily to bring the Africans ont of their iso- lation, and to open to missionaries and traders regions now visited only by murderers. kidnap- pers, or adventurous travelers. From this point of view, indeed, the prospects are as encouraging as they could be.’ We may not pursue this subject further to- day. Our object is, if possible, to awaken American public attention to the momentous consequences to every American commercial or business interest to he involved in the success of this atrocious scheme of the British Govern- ment; and to do so, we must explain it in all its bearings—a labor of considerable extent. We must accomplish this object, too, in a way to insure that what we write on the subject will be read and reflected on; or, in other words, in articles not of too great length to be mastered and digested by the mass of busy (casual) Amer- ican readers ANotuer Trivupn.—At a very recent trial of reapers and mowers, conducted under the auspices of the Vermont State Agricultural S ciety, the Manny machine with Wood’s im- provement carried off the prize with acclama- tion. The advantages awarded to it, in the opinion of all the judges, are, lightness of draft, least liability to get out of order and to elog up while doing its work, capability to be moved from field to field without being taken to pieces, capability to be lifted (tilted so as to preserve the cutters from injury,) over obstructions twenty inches high, when cutting within three inches of the ground, by working the lever within reach and under perfect management of the man who rakes on the machine, and that, too, without requiring him to leave his position on it for an instant. It was also adjudged to do its work with more celerity than any other. Ac- cording to the report, eredit fur such advan- tages was awarded to it, not only by all the judges. but by every one of the large number of intelligent practical farmers present. These late great trials—in Maryland, New York and Vermont—have fully established the immeasurable superiority of the Manny machine with Wood's improvement, over all other reap- ers and mowers now in use. Governor Watker in Kaxsas.—We have lately become possessed of much interesting in- formation concerning matters in Kansas, which should be known by our friends of the South to enable them to unravel the mysteries of late oc- currences there, and to appreciate the circum- stances which give the political affairs of the Territory their present phase. Our information is from as true a pro-slavery source as ever ex- isted. Fromagentleman whose sympathies and associations are entirely with the pro-slavery party of the Territory, who has as earnestly contended in favor of making the new State slaveholding as any man living, while there ex- isted the slightest hope that such labors might in the end prove successful. » The gentleman to whom we refer informs us that some time before Governor Walker reached the Territory, the pro-slavery party had with great unanimity come to the conclusion that it was useless to continue the struggle to make Kansas a slaveholding State; it being apparent, past peradventure, that a very large majority of those whose right to a vote on the subject no one disputed, were opposed to the establishment of slavery as a permanent institution of the new State. On consultation, upon coming to this opinion, they very properly concluded that their best policy would be to secure Democratic as- cendancy in the organization of the new State, under the auspices of the old law and order party, and with such provisions as would secure to the present holders of slaves there and to the slaveholding Missourians on the borders of Kan- sas, all their rights. Or, in other words, to place it, though a non-slaveholding State, in the strictest and closest sympathy with all the posi- tions of the national Democratic party upon all slavery questions. To this end it was determined long before the late Democratic Territorial Convention met, that its nominee should: be from a non-slave- holding State, and some one who had heen con- spicuous as an active sympathizer with the law and order party throughout all their troubles, through not a pro-slavery man. This was to obtain for the new constitution, and, indeed for all points of their policy of making the State as thoroughly Democratic as possible from the start, the votes of as many free State settlers as pos- sible. This is the seeret of the nomination of ex-Gov. Ransom. This policy, so far, has suc- ceeded even better than its most sanguine ad- vocate anticipated, it being already evident that it will triumph in the end by a large ma- jority. In pursuance of the understanding to aban- don further serious efforts to make the new State slaveholding, it was, that Free State men were permitted to become heavy owners in the four towns known as the pro-slavery cities; Leavenworth, Doniphan, Atchison, and Kicka- poo. And also on account of it alone did Gen. Stringfellow sell out his Syuatter Sovereign (newspaper,) to become an advocate of a non- slaveholding but ultra Democratic State. On reaching the Territory, Governor Walker became aware that it would be utterly uscless for him to endeavor to struggle against the pre- vailing sentiment on the slavery question, and entered heartily into the plans to secure the as- cendancy of the Democratic party in the affairs of the new State, which had been previously ipjtiated, as we describe above. He found, too, that the proportion in favor of submitting the constitution to the popular vote, was—as repre- EXCURSIONS, &c. QIRST GRAND EXCURSION GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS.
