However, that is me | anerticle, which we copy into this day’s paper, it as the great gua of the sect, in this city, Horace Greely, is the President of the Printer’s Union. This iealloght; buat there is one thiag which isnot right, and thatisto stander the Herald. Mr. Crate ted what he have knows very well was not the fact, na that che Herald is the enemy | of the cause of labor, aud is opposed to labor move- ments. This is a good joke, when, in all proba bility, every printer in the room knew that the Herald is the only paper ia the city, with one ex- ception, that pays the highest prices to the com- positors. Mr. Bennett advocated remunera- labor; and when the movement commenced, he set an example to the proprie- tors of every paper in New York, and to the bosses in other departments of trade, by voluntartly raising his prices to the highest point. This is a strange mode of showing hostility to the cause of labor. Again, the Ierald does what no other paper in the city does. 1t publishes full reports of the prdceed- ings of the meetings of the trades who “strike” | for higher prices, aud by its immense cir- culation, spreads the sentiments of these men over the community, thus materially aiding them in their struggle. For example, the Herald is the enly paper that publishes anything like reports of the congress of trades. The reports in the ‘Tiibune being a mere hoteh poteh, half report and half cousinent, and generally about half the length of those in the Herald. Again, let any one compare the reports of the ; taitors’ meetings in the Herald with those of any see which is the beat Take one iastance.

Nothing of importance was done in either house of Congress yesterday. The House was engaged | all day with the Civil and Diplomatic bill, and the | Senate with the California bill. It is probable a vote will be taken on the latter to-morrow or next | day. It is to be hoped that no impediment will be thrown in its way, but that members will meet the question as soon as possible. | We are anxious to know the nature of the report | of the Southern Caucus Committee on the Cali- | fornia question. It will be submitted to the cancas | to-morrow evening, as we are informed by our p: vate correspondent. We hardly think that it will interfere much with the bill now before the Senate, | no matter what its character may be. The Canadian Parliament, it will be seen, has been prorogued ‘The Condition and Prospects of the Engtish | Colontes in Amert | Notwithstanding the cessation of all outward ex- ertions ameng the people of the Canadas, to pro- eure a separation of those colonies from the govera- ment of Great Britain, and their incorporation with | these United States, a change is working in the | minds of the people of those countries, as well as in other British American colonies, which promi- | ses, before many years, to render allof them entire- | ly independent of England, without any persuasion or encouragement on our part, or we might add, | without our desire to see them States of this great | confederacy. It must not be supposed that because ahe annexation movement has apparently fallen to the ground, that there is a large proportion of the Canadian people in favor of a separation from Great Britain, or that the project has been abandoa- ed. So faras we nnderstand the sentiments of the C. nadians, we are satisfied that all Canadian subje of intelligence and iafluence, particalarly the mer- cantile classes, look forward with pleasure to the day when Canada will either be an independent nation or a part of the United States This feeling of discontent under their present rule, | end & desire for a change, have beea produced by a | very simple and natural cause agreater intercourse | hetween the two countries.

The greater the intercour ¢ between the two people, the more rapidly will the English east off their prejudices ; and by the time there is steam communication, by lind and water, from New York to Halifax and Nova Scotia, they will | become as good republicans as we are ourselves Matters are rapidly taking this channel. The au- thorities and citizens of Bi al present on the most friendly terms with the auth citizens of Toronto, the capital of Upper Canada, as well as with the Governor himeelf. They are en- ping each other in great style, extending and jog invitations to vi se two cities, and parteke of each other's welcome and hospitality It is very evident that the tenceacy of such iater- changes of friendship, will bave the eflect gf Yan- hevizing the Conadions—of making them anxious to be on more friendly tqsma, to be part aterein the enterprise of their more fortenate neighbors. The inhabitants of New Brunswick are goieg in the same direction, although by a diflereat path They now want unlimited control of their interaal affairs, reciprocity in trade with the United States, or the power of negotiating commercial tr with thie republic; they want vote by ballot, « an elective legislative council; they want retreach- ment in the public New Brunswick Colonial presume, speak the sentiments of the people of that province, heir institutions to conform, as much as possible, to United States, aed to moke it @ republic in all but the name There is but one step from that to annexation, and ' | tee contrast * and ties in a word, the n, Which, we expend $ Associati wont those of the ‘ thet would be wi taken, if the first were ace pished We think this ie « € the present condition and pre etlonics ia America.

Which paper, on that oceasion, best served the cause of labor? Some expres sions, attributed to speakers, have been de- nied; but the most miterial of these has been sworn to by two disinterested witnesses, and others were ready to swear to the same fact, namely, that Mr. W. V. Barrdid say the “ capi- talists were backed up by 900 thieving policemen.” It would be far better, therefore, for gentlemen to speak more coolly at those meetings, than to find fault afterwards when they find themselves faith- fully reported, and the expressions appear too strong to the public, or to their ewan calm judgment. If the Herald occasionally ditfers with some of the speakers at these meetings, as to the mode of soa right to express his opinion. If he deprecates the insidious engrafting of socialism upon these move- ments, he has an equal right to give utterance to that sentiment, without being miscalled an enemy of the cause of labor. We find that this Mr. Crate is the secretary of the Congress of Trades, end on two or three ocea- sicns he was culied to account for neglect of duty, Whether this may have sharpeoed his ire last night, we can- not say. Bat one thing is pretty clear, and that is, that the Tribune aud its apostles have poisoned the minds of many of the tradesmen against the Herald ; but the vast majority of them are too sa- gacious, and have too much sense, to place any re- liance upon the statements of the organ of Fourier- ism and its clique. tis absurgon the very face of it, to say that the Herald could have any selfish | object to serve in opposing the cause of labor. It ix quite manifest that its interest is just the very reverse. Errecrs oy Anoxrriontsm IN THE Stave Sraves. — We have frequently read in the Southern news- pepers, and believe it to be a fact, that the hard- ships inflicted on slaves arise, not from a disposi- tion on the part of their owners to inflict punish- ment on them, but as a matter of precaution, to protect their property from being enticed away by Northern abolitionists. Thus it sometimes happens | that negroes who had been tampered with by those fanatics, are sometimes sent to a more Southern State, where the chance of eacape is not so great as itisonthe States bordering on free territory. Families may, consequently, sometimes be separa- ted, never perhaps to meet again. These occur- rencee, Which all must deplore, are seized upon by the abolitionists, grossly exsggerated, and issued forth to the world in flaming capitals, as a part of the system of slavery, when, in fact, they arise | almost altogether from the interference of “ higher law” fanatics, in what ought not to concern them. Any person who accuses the people of the South- ern States of being less human than their fellow- citizens of the North, shows a deplorable igao- ranee of whom he speaks of, and says what is untrue. Any one acquainted with the workiags of the institution of slavery in the Soathera States, knows very well that it very rarely indeed happens | that a family is eeparated, and that it is only done when the slave has been guilty of wrong, suffi- cient to justify the harsh measure. Asa general thing, the slaves in the South are a happy and well contented clase of people, much more so than the free colored men @t the free States, who, in the midst of their canting sympathizers, every opportunity to obtain ali that is needful for their cemfort, are among the poorest and most depraved of the comnvunity. Tne abolition fanatics care little, however, for the misery which entail their insane agitation on the slaves in \the Southern States. They are wedded to one idea, possess but oae idea, and devote themselves to the furtherance of but one idea, without lookiog forward or backward, or ceting what the consequence may be to the un- fortunate victims of their abstract sympathy. Canat Investioations.—There is a Canal In- gating Committee now in session at Baffalo, netituted for the purpose of making « full and searching inquiry iato certsin frauds which are alleged to have been committed in the manage- ent of the canal affairs of this State. We do not say that those frauds heve actually been commit- ted, or that there was any necessity for appointing on ‘nvestigating committee; but we do say, that in pert years grows and palpable frauds have been proctised, by which unprincipled men realized large sums of money, Some time since we pub+ lished @ statement of these disereditable transac- tions, which deteiled a most flagrant dereliction of doty on the part of persons in offiee, who were considered above reproach or suspicion, by whieh fortunes were made, and the State plundered most womercifully. There may be no occasion for an jovertigetion et this ti but as the committee nd inte in session, the in- quiry may as well be searching. The committee owe it to the parties whose reputation is connected with the movement, to adopt this course. vee INTELLIGENCE rrom Pont av Prtsce —We learn from Captain Wood, of the schooner Mary Eliae- beth, artived yesterday from Port an Prince, which place she left on the 19th of July, that a brether of the Governor'of that place was publicly thet en the day before Captain Wood left, for having “ openly spoken against the procee jiags of | the President.” Easy Sariserep.—One of our Eastern ex- changes sys it has been satisfactorily ascertained that the chief clerk of one of the railroads in that region ie a defaulter, for a eonsiderable ameunt, ve the company who employed him.

Tur Honnicaye at Turxs Istasv.—We leara from Cuptain Childs, of the brig Judson, from St. Martina, which arrived at this port yesterday, that the hurricane at Turks Island did considerable damage. It commenced on Taursday, July 11, with the barometer at 23, and falling. At noou the wind died out suddenly, and at! P.M. came out from the 8. W., and blew a hurricane, which continued until 6 P. M., when it veered around to the southward, and coatinued so during the aight. The British ship Isabella, of Liverpooi, eat her masts away inthe outer harbor of St. Johas, Aaugua. Several vessels in the inner harbor were blowa on shore. The plantations suiiered considerably. The vanes attached to their mills were blowa id some houses blowa down. On the Lith ly, When off the mouth of the harbor of St. Martins, Capt. Childs saw a large vessel with her masts gone. It was blowing heavily at the time, and he could not communicate with her. Ia the outer part of the harbor, he saw three vessels ashore on the ch, with their masts gone, namely, the bark Franklin of Portland, Cook, mas- ter, and the British brigs Victoria aud Lachaatress, of New Brunswick.
