Natural history teaches what all who will may per- ceive, that there is a reguiar gradation, from the animalculx discovered by the solar microscope, link by ho&, until we reach the highest style of man. ‘When we examine man we find this chain unbroken. ‘The Cape negro, wits sis crooked spine and droop- ing arms, looking as if his fore teet had jast bsea litted from the earth, stands confessed the link that connects the man and monkey. From this point we ascend to the noblest specimen of manly beaaty aud intellectual power. Dces not this contiaue, uati we ascend above the highest archangel to the migh ty God of the universe? Will our Northern bretbren forsake their white brethrea of the Scath—men who aided in achieving sheir own and our liberty—who fought with them shoul der to shoulder—who were at the Boston tea party and the Yo ktown merrymsking—for this unfortupate race. Will ay aeey. this noble gor- ernment in an attempt to liberate a race unprepared to and upfitted to enjoy free instita- unfitted for government of any sort, they now enjoy? Can they not perceive stem of slavery the finger of God? Can out what he has written? Let them con- plate the civilization of the Southers slave, and contrast it with tne wild savage of Afri- ca. {n his vative land the negro knows no God; he has no altars erected to him, aad offers him no prayer; but he is sunk in ignorance sensuality and sloth, The ornaments of his mud hut are the skulls of his murdered wives, children, slaves and enemies. He is notonly bloodthirsty, but ignorant of conjagal, parental, filial and social obligations and affections. He trembles under pagan suverstitions and terrors. Nude and heediess, he stretches himself beneath hie orgeous forests, as improvident as tne monkeya thet chatter around him. It remains to be asen whether twenty-two millions of tae Caucasian race will be atupid enough to eacrifice their happiness and euccesa as & le to an attempt— yes, sir, a mere attempt—to advance the African race.

It is in vain to kick against the pricks. When God opens door no man can shut it, aud when he shu‘a @ door no man cau opan is, ond to attempt it is the extrems of folly. In tnis whole system of slavery we may discern the hand ofthe Almighty, No tims would have sufficed the negro of Africa ‘o achieve his own civilization. [t was ne for bimto be taken from bis own lend, and to jearn him the arte and moes by ex- ample, by contact and association with a higher race. The negro is earning, aud the cavtive is returning to his own land, to teach his less favored brethrea; and thus we see Gd does revtrain the wrath of map, and cause the residue of wrath to praiss him. The cupidity, the avarics of the white race, and es- pecially of the Datchman and Yankee, ceught the wild savage n au: brought him here, end that pegro is being civisized, and fitted to take his stand asman. In God’s own time he willdo it. AU we have to do is to let slavery alone. Natural causes will do the rest. The gentiemsn demands tha ras- toration of the Missouri Compromise. He will never get it. It was originally unconstitutional— is so atill. It was folly in tue South ever to have submitted to it; it wonld be madness now, time has come when the South cannot and will not Yield its least constitutional ion Onr constitution is Bot bounded’ by degrees of latitude or longitade, nor can it be restrained by imaginary lines. Coa- gress is {18 creature, and has no control over it, nor over the subject of slavery. The constitution is as wide and as broad as this Unioa; and slavery be- longs to the people of the States where it existe. Nor bas Congress ary power to inquire of a new Ssate, applying tor edmission, whether it has slaves, or has them not; that is a matter purely manicipat, and slone controllable by those who form the gov- eroment of a new State. [fa majority of the people wisn to have it, it ig their righ’ to nave it, and the reverse. The Norto is equally interested with the Bouth in preserving the constitution unimpaired, and more interested titan the South to prevent the restoration of the Missouri Compromise, for the North bas a greater capacity to settle new States than the South has. Anybody but the miserable cemagogues who hsve, like the imourities of a boil- ing pot, got at the top aod rule these States, could see it, These demagogues care nothing for their congtituents, nor for the negroes, but look alone to their own selfish ends, and for those ends cater to the passions and prejudices of the worst clasa of people, that they may keep alive the passions and prejudices that raised them to notice and put them in office. They do not represent the sterling ood sense and virtue of the orderly people. it clase everywhere in this country is full of lov» for this Union—in favar of peace and fratermity—for that class has ay | to gain and a'l to lose by this miserable sgitation. To show trat all we havo to do with slavery is to let it alone, and leave it to nata- ral causes, let us see wha’ proportion it bore at the birth of thisnation, and now beara to the white race. At the revolution slavery stooi aa two negroes t) toree white persone—seventy nine years have pass- ¢d, and bow does it stand to-day? Now the siave pe is greatly improved, and atill improving Civilization, witn the system every day growiag more mild and humane, stands as one slave to five avdahalf white people. The ratio of siaves to whites diminished in seventy sine years from two fifths to less than one-fifth. Woat will that ratio be atthe end of seventy-nine years more? No one can tell exactly, bat it will be greatly leas—-perhapa lesa than pene ate sine) greeny of ne- Toes was sto) y law; but white immigration continued, ret still continues. Tne negro stands to- day with no pow+r of increase, except the natural increase of man, while the white race, with five and a half times greater capital stock than the negro, capable of the same natural increase, has superad: ded the increase resulting from immigration. It takes no (a to tell, nor prophet to foretell the end of this thing. Time will do all the work, under the providence of Goi, better than man can, if man will only mind his proper basiness Ca dr in tbis Union, and let slavery alone. The fanatics select Virginia as the especial object of their slenderous abuse, and forget that tae Virgicia slave is better cared for, and enjoys more physival comfort than any free laboriag clara in the world, Virginia did more to arrest the African slave trade than any State ia the Union; and haa liberated more slaves than avy other, if not than all the other States. Virginia neede no defence. She points to her reco:d, acd defies her enemies. Virgin's has a few words to say. She entered this Union &4 an equal, and for the general good. She has contribated largely to this Union; ehe still loves it, and wili do much to preserve it. Toere are, however, eome things she will not do, let what may come of it. She will not submit to aay curtailment of ber rights under the constitution of the United S:ates. she will not surrender her equality, nor that of her children, She asks no more than her right; she will accept nothing jes’.

A dramatic re presentation, entitled “A Tale of Pagan Rome,” lilustrasing the enfferings aud constancy of theearly Obrivtiars,in which several young ladies parsici- pated, was got up wits great care, and performed with a spirit and truthfainees waich many of our profersional performers migbt imitate with advan- tage. Ab interesting litte French piece, entitied “L’Orgueil Oorri, was performed in French, by eight young ladies, who displayed an acquaictance with the French iang nae, and correctness of pro- boncistion which wes bighly credible, The exer- cites coveluded with a ‘“‘choras” by all the pupils which was # very effective performance; afier which tock place ‘THE DISTRIBUTION OF PREMIUMS.
