The Union explains that its opinion ex- pressed in its ixsue of yesterday, that there was no probability of Kansas becoming a free State, was but its own ind vidual opinion—and that, too, not expressive of its wish on the subject, but rather of a conclusion which seemed to it inevitable. The Intelligencer thinks, judging from the comments of the Southern press, that the South- ern Commercial Convention has disappointed the expectations of the public, inasmuch as it had been announeed that the Knoxville Con- vention would be an assemblage of practical men, ready not only to spead, but to act in the cause of Southern commercial independence. +2 -_____ i> Stark A.

They are under the same moral and religious obligations to provide for their labor- ers as masters are to provide for slayes. Yet, competition among farmers to hire laborers, than among laborers to get employment. Yet, value. It is difficult, in some sections, for very many purchase public land when they arrive there. The labor market is sometimes glutted, and are compelled to submit to such terms .as the land owners and other capitalists choose to offer. 2 5 t Ose Horse States.—It is proposed to annex cesar id ey ae cee hl the little State of Delaware to Maryland ; New Jersey to Pennsylvania; and Rhode Island to Connecticut i> * Our Opinion,” is the title of anew pa- Per just commenced in Baltimore, by John T- Ford, Esq., the well known theatrical manager, with C.

Mr. Sumner is astatistician, but no political economist, and can never understand the the- ory which we are expounding.

Great Deratcation at rue St. Nicnoras Horer, New Yorx.—The entry clerk of the St. Nicholas, a man named Lawier, has been arrest- ed, charged with embezzling large sums of money from his employers. Other Parties at the St. Ni- cholas are suspected of implication in the matter. DF On Wednesday last the trial of the six negro men, Ben, Tom, George, Moore, Edround, and Robert, slaves of Mr. William Boulware, ebarged with assaulting, with intent to kill, their overseer, Mr John H. Dodd, on the 27th of July last, was brought to a close, at Richmond, Va., after occupying six days, and all the prisoners were found guilty. Ben and Tom were ordered to be bung on the 25h of September next, and the others to transportation beyond the limits of the Wnited States_* philanthropy, and expose their selfish purposes. They would endanger the Union and half en- slave deluded white citizens of America, under negroes. We say, that they would half-enslave white men ; for they know very well that until all the vast territory of the West is settled, white laborers cannut become the abject and entire slaves to capital as they are in Europe, unless from some fault or misfortune of their own. Nevertheless, in the general, the price of land is the thermometer of liberty. Land monopoly, such as exists in western Europe, as effectually deprives the masses of their liberty as domestic slavery, or the most eruel and despotic political government. It was the policy of the Romans, as of our- selves, to sell their public lands in small par- cels to actual settlers. But, for four hundred years, the patricians evaded all enactments in- tended to attain this object. In effecting this they kept up continual civil broils and conten- tions; and finally took away the lives and blackened the memories of two of Rome's noblest sons, (we allude to the Gracehi,) merely because they opposed their grasping rapacity, and asserted the equal right of all citizens to the public lands. This monopolizing spirit finally rendered the Patrician order corrupt, and made spiritless paupers of the plebians, thus preparing the way for the downfall of the Republic. It should never be forgotten by practical legislators, that the wealth of the fow cecasions and necessitates the poverty and de- pendence of the many—for all wealth is but the power to, command labor, and that power is greatest where the mass are poorest and most dependant. But the chief element of wealth is the owner- La Crescent, Mixxesota.—This new city, from its faverable location on the west bank of the Mississippi, opposite J.a Crosse, Wisconsin, having been selected as the point of departure for the great Minnesota railroad, (now about being constructed under the land grant made by the late Congress.) traversing the Stute in two direc- tions, one to Markato at the south bend of St. Pe- ter’s river, and the other to St. Paul's, is rapidly Jooming up into notice, as a most important com- cial point. Being the centre of divergence for the immense emigration from the East which the railroads threugh Wisconsin from Milwaukie, and other other points are bringing to its harbors, the gate- way as it were toali the rich valleys of Minnesota, it is destined in the opinious of onr Western men, who have witnessed its beautifal site, and are familiar with its geographical position, to far surpass its predecessors in lowa—Keokuk, Da- venport and Dubuque—both in rapidity of devel- opment and extent of commercial capacity. It has a most beantiful location on a high levet of land, from a mile toa mile and a half wide, and three miles long, possesses most excellent steamboat landings, and with the improvement roads in the vieinity now being made, will be easy of access from every direction. The main avenue, ranning from the Mississippi back to the Bluffs, about two miles long, is 120 feet, and all the other streets “5 feet wide. Religious Items.

These re ks are suggested by recent events in the writer’s knowledge, where boys, in sight of their homes and parents, will, in the face of the owners, go into premises and steal fruit, and curse them while doing it; and where one, of ten or twelve years of age, backed by accomplices, seized a boy several years older, in open day, and in the true spirit of a highwayman, demanded his knife; and, in skating time, itis of almost daily occurrence, that these outlaws deliberately overpower and rob others of such skates as they take a fancy to. Tur Report ror 1856.—We are indebted to the acting Commissioner of Patents for a copy of the mechanical branch of the Patent Office Report for 1856, just published. The number of patents issued from the office in 1856 was 25 per centum larger than the number for 1855, and 33} larger than the number issued in 1854. We hear that the descriptive text of this valu- able work, comprising about 1,000 pages, was written by Dr. M. C. Gritzner, (of the bureau,) who also furnished for the document its 550 pages of illustrative engravings—a good year’s work, indged, most creditably and capitally performed also. We recommend this valuable report to all who would comprehend the pro- gress of the land in the useful arts, few of the steps forward of the year in that connection failing to be duly recorded therein. In fact, the Patent Office report has come to be the mir- ror in which all improvements in practical me- chanics worth sufficient to be claimed as of practical value may be found duly recorded, year by year. It is not wonderful, therefore, that the servants of the dear people, whoaspire to the honor of continuing to serve them, cause to be printed, at the public expense, for gratu- itous circulation, annually increasing tens of thousands of a work naturally so eagerly sought after in all quarters of the country. Tue Oventann Route to CALIPoRNIA—We noticed yesterday an article in the [ntelligen- cer, by Mr. J. R. Bartlett, commending the selection of the Southern route to California. Mr. Bartlett appends a history of this route but does not go back quite far enough. It is due to others that the omixsion should be supplied. By reference to Executive Docu- ment 52, Thirtieth Congress, first session, will be found two letters of Mr. Buchanan, un- der date of July 13 and July 19, urging, and in fact instructing, Mr. Trist to obtain the 32d parallel of latitude as the southern boundary of the United States. These instructions, he states, are given upon information furnished by Major Emory that that boundary was necessary to obtain a prac- ticable route. Further, a letter from Major Emory to the Secretary of the Interior, dated April 2, 1549, to Secretary Ewing, says, ‘ this route (near the 32d parallel) is a practicable route for a railroad. J belicre the only one from ocean to ocean withtn our territory.” It will be seen that these dates are prior to that of Mr. Bartlett's passage through the country, and it is believed that these were the first evi- dences offered to the Government that this route was practicable and presented advantages over all others. A Tour.—The Hon. Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, who is now in Washington, since leaving us at the end of the last session, has made an extend- ed tour upon the plains, having been out with the Government party engaged in surveying the southern boundary of Kansas, and afar off into the range of the buffalo. Now that he has returned with a whole scalp, we certainly envy him the delights of bis relaxation after. that fashion, from interminable cogitation upon public affuirs. ResiGxep.—Mr. J.T. C. Clark has resigned his place in the City Post Office, and the va- cancy has been supplied by promotion in the office, creating a vacancy of a small messenger- ship, which has not yet been filled, as we under- stand.

She has been built for the last twelvemonth, but, for some rea- son or other, she has not been finished until now. She belongs to Collins’s line, and was designed to surpass ju speed everything afloat. She is about twenty feet longer than the great steamer Vanderbilt, and thirty-six feet shorter than the Persia, but she is of enormous power The Lon- don Herald says: ‘A Cunard steamer, called the Scotia, was laid down to compete with her, but the Scotia has been stopped until it is seen whether the Adriatic can beat the Persia. The most successful steamer as to speed, at present, is the latter vessel.’ She has crossed the Atlantic several hours quicker than the Vanderbilt. Until the Great Eastern is completed, much interest will be excited in the performance of the Adriatic, because the Amerj- cans have exhausted all that they know of ship- building and steam machinery in making her perfect.??
