We are in receipt of papers from New York, Bos- p, and other ports of the Umted States. by Ag d with news of the condition of taings in Si. ‘comings. The New Youk Henauo, in cular, es our little republic the honor of devoting about e columns of ite smallest type to the State of our Bairs. Our readers may how comes it that a wepaper of such importance, and which is ob- ed to give its attention to the occurrences of the inole world, can give so mach of its space to trans. ous in this country. These letters profess to be ritten in St Domingo, but it is al nost impossible convey an accurate idea of their character to our aders. We will endeavor, however, to give our puders some icea of them. Ii ail the frands, es, fictions, impositions, counterfeits, falsehoods nd calumuies which, since the of he world. have ensnared men, were by tanic art in an immense cauldron; then pat over n infernal fire and mingled with an infusion of ne blood ef liars, traitors and false witnesses, and iteryares mxed with the gall of Osia, the heart 1 Jndas and the liver of Bobadil,—he who imprt- ened the great Columbus,—and ali these com anes were boiled together for one century, uader ne superintendence of Satan aud bis whole court, ney could not produce a mixture more polsonvus od pestilential shan that contataed in the corres- endence of the New York Henan.

It is he who akes and abolishes laws—who conmands, and ules, and triumphs. Bu: fore employ our boiumns in the refutation of such absurdicies/ Let simply put before the eyes of an impartial public h sample of them. Thus the Heratp says, desoril- og to its own way, an attempt at assassination de by Don Manvel Galban;—"Mr. Gaiban, the ntrepio and intelligent editor of the Dare del G» bacrno (even the title of the paver is wrong) publish- dan article wherein he expiains to che public the st his rights, which the Jonsul-(Reaeral of bout to prepare. * © * Phe fol- pe ew iy roan blvd by Segovia, and in order to save his life was ovliged to draw a pistol, with which he sert- wely Wounded ove of his assailants. * * * Mr. telban has disappeared, well knowing that Segovia hs above the law, and that forthe sane reason he vould be sacrificed.

[From the Kichmond Woig Nov 18} ‘We observe, from the Charlottesville Advocate, that some of the farmers of Alvemarle are com- planing ae of tae increased value put upon their lauds by assessors. This increased valua- tion, as they say, will necessarily involve an in- amount of taxes. This, in all proba- bony Fa. be the case; bat we do not see how we can help ourselves. The per centum is aiways so fixed as to raive a certain amount for the tao Treasury. A low valuation, in tae present (inancial condition of the State, requires a high ceutum; and » high valuation ought consequeatly to lead to & reduction of the ad valorem. So that, fairly mana- ged, it ought, in the loog run, to amvant to the same thing. We very much fear, however, that there will not be a diminutio# in the per centu a corresponding with the increase of valuation. Our law givers have become so much avcustomed Ww Teisieg the taxes higher and higher every yeir, that we are afraid they will stick to it, the mere force of habit. When Governor Wise, in his electioneering pore. grinations throngh the Stace, announced that i | might be necessary to make Saene “ groan” With taxation, to carry out his wild aod visionary | schemes 04 internal improvement and educa*ion, tu» farmers of Virginia thought it was a mere figare o speech, having ao special significance beyon1 giv ng a fine turn te bis declamation, It so happens thas | elthough none of Governor Wise's absurd proposi | tions bave been carried into practical execution, ce are yon | beginning t groan, even und e taxation rendered necessary by the debt already existing. Yet, notwithstancing all thia, we hear that it 1s again proposed to convene the Virgini« | Legislatore which, of iteelf, would involve a consit erable expenditure of pablic money, to say nothing of tbe ehunces of appropriations. In view the financial condition ot the State, and +. grombling and discontent of the peoole, we aub- mit that econ in our State€affairs should be rigidly consyited.

Will she “muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn?” Will she be like the fool in the mob of Hogarth, who, in his trenzy, forgot that he was sawing between himself and the post? Will she not see that if the “sign” falls she must fall with it— thet if the Union of these States falls, the fall of New York will be the greatest of all of the States? T tell you that Virginia has armories for more than one hundred thousand men in twenty-foar hours by the watch; and I tell you that she has meu enough to teke arms rather than be subjagated to black republicanism. I tell you that if mere forma are depended upon to subdue her, and to destro) her civ] and religious rights, her state equality an sovereignty, and ber federal guarantees in the Union, that she will cut her bright way through them!

I tell ou that whatever be the result of this election, we must have peace in earnest or RY A. WISE. war in earnest! Yours truly, The African Slave Trade. [From the kichmond Enquirer, Nov. 15.) Tp 1815 the Holy alliance took, as they supposed, effectral means to put down the slave trade. Long recat thereto, France, England and America agreed by treaty, each to keep a fleet on the Afri- cap ocast to suppress it. Men engaged in it were treated us pirates, aud capitally punished It is high time for prectical men to ascertain and calou- late the consequen.es of these great national 5 aided, as they seemed to have been, by the public opinion of Christendom. If these measures have all proved abortive— if they have increased iustead of diminishing this trade—1f they have rendered it not onty larger in amount, but more cruet in ite prosecution— itis high time to desist from them—time to adopt new mea- sures of suppression, if any more available can be devised, or to desist from all attempts at sup; pression, if such attempts will only increase ag: gravate the evils which they propose to cure. “ The same humanity which dictated the attempts to put down the slave trade, will surely now step ia | and arrest them, if they be only productive of evil. Now, it is notorious, the slave trade under the in- fluence of abolition counsels, has doubled tn amount and quadrupied in cruelty. Th2 reasons for this are as obvious a4 the facts ase undisputed. The liberation of the slaves of the West Indies and of Bosth America, begat a vastly increased de- mand for African slaves, and men have been found bold enough to supply this demand, regardless of risk or consequences. Added to this, the Cooley trade from various ayn) of Asia makes more new slaves than the old Atrican trade; and the Qoo- hes are treated more oe the negroes, be- cause their masters are less interested in preserving their lives. It is also admitted, on all hands, that the African trade is conducted with ten times the cruelty now that it was formerly. ‘o“ for On this state of facts it is ee to argue, apy reader must see that kamanity calls ial an entire change of measures us to the Al slave trade.

Mr. Bachanaa then gave bis ful support and sanction to the views of Mr. Madisow John Randolph and others, that the federal govern ment had no power to construct roads, canals or works to facilitate commerce, to aid in the trans- portation of mails, or for any of the parposes for which said works were designed; aad that nochiag could be more dangerous than to yest the federa government with this enormous power, this terrible menneo' corruption and invasion of the sovereigaty of the States, Jobn Randolph, in his felicitously illustrative style, compared this poser to construct highways t» o vagrant that had been kivked from parish to js my and was driven at lagt into that geoeral asylum doubtfal powers—the “general welfare claase.’ Tt was claimed by some as emanating from we power to regulate commerce; by others, as setous ing to the er to establish post offices and po+ roads; by obbers, aa 8 corollary of the war-making power, and the regulation and organization of th: militia; but ail there various joes were serora! iy comelisnes by the republicans, who understood the true design, spirit aad character of our constitu tion; and it was established a4 the true dodtrine 0 ‘the oemocratic that there was no authority whatsoever in the federa! government to construc public rods and canals passing through the States and that the exercise of sach a power would be fa of danger to onr whole system.

We cannot now go falty invo this question, but wil! enter our protest againstany such constrnetion of the feoeral constitution as will give the government this encrmons power. The question came before the Democratic Con vention which sat in this city, and there wasa de cided majority against the right aud power to «+ strvet this work, and in the Committee on Rosin tions there was, we have heard, a unanimous ogainst it. A vegue and indefinite resolution in favor of the measure was, however, forced upon the Convention by the pertinacity of the Catiforaia de legates, ond was parsed towards the close of tae sexsion, when the temper of the body was not vory favorable to calm deliberation and wise decision.
