We publish this morning a chapter of very interesting editorial extracts from three or four of our Southern exchanges, on the subject of slavery and slave labor in Virginia and Missouri, as compared with the advantages and encroach- mente of free white labor in those two promi- nent and important border elave States, To the significant facts embraced in these extracts, and to the decisive and inevitable consequences which they suggest, we invite the candid at- tention of all our readers. To those particu- larly who are fearful of the extension of slavery North, through the political appliances of demo- cratic administrations and Supreme Court de- cisions, we have here abundant matter of security and consolation. First, in regard to Mr. Thayer's project for the colonization of the worn out and waste lands of old Virginia with free white Earopean and Northern settlers, under the auspices of an organized company, the Richmond Whig affects a tone of furious indignation and wrath. “These abolition immigrants” will not be al- lowed to pollute the soil of old Virginia, for if they attempt it, and the State penitentiaries are madequate to hold them, new ones will be built for their accommodation; “or to avoid that expense” the natives “would, perhaps, adopt the better and wiser and prompter course of making the carcasses of those colo- nists adorn the trees of oar forests.” The Wg. however, having thus shown itself to be “souad on the goose question,” proceeds to say that “we dave no insuperable objection to intelligent, moral, industrious, enterprising and well meaning per- sons from the North or from Europe making their permanent homes in Virginia, provided they will adapt themeelves to our institutions, and become peaceable and orderly eitizens.”” That will do from that quarter. The Wihiy may affect the fonatic, but upon a matter so vital as this to the redemption of Virginia it can't afford to play the fool. The Norfolk .tryus, a democratic paper, print- ed in a region where they are beginning to feel the stimulating eflects of New York enterprise, does not consider it necessary to fly into a rage against Mr. Thayer and hie company, but says ‘we are prepared to welcome all good people who we disposed to respect our laws and cons won, ‘Lben 10 speaks O1 the atu ons Of old Princess Anne, under her ancient sabstantial farmers; of the “fich and oysters taken trom the waters before their doo of “the ponl- try fattened by their tidy wives;’ of “ihe mall fat recd fcd beeves of Princess Aune,” of her “autton, equal that of South- down and a flavor superior to it.” But, alas, ‘the acourted Jove of gold, and the worse love of exuavagant pleasures, have driven from the bomer of their fathers the sons of those worthy sires.’ Mark, now what follows But though he sires are dead, and the sons removed, the generous soi! remuins, and the fish aad oysters are still there.” Now, this is an inv and to : worthy of old Vir description will apply ores of the neglected water section of large quan- nw ginia hospitality, to hundreds of th and abandoned lar We the Stat tities of ¢ ‘pied by Northern capi us di likely to beec in the grand Virginia Thayer acd Compooy in yaont of * of men larger mization sche M ime, f NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, MARUH 10, 1857. sense to fly intoa 1 about “immigrant aboli- tioniete.”” The bo nor Northern emigrants who go to Virginia will go there to prowids homes for themeclves and r children, and to live onder the laws of the State as good citizens: but at the some time these reinforcements to the white population will give an impetus to free white le and enterprise whieh will, by-and- hye nvade the Jarge slaveholding plantations peree the p nd reduce the lands to « farms and f t families, each workix little demato v it the ald of uiggere. . by what in political eo#nomy we may laws of 5 ii vill the manifest Virginia 1 “he will become tree State, not by w pot ly Northern ag sions upon Southern rights, not hy a bloody i bat by the quiet operation of the law: soil, population. and of dollars and she be recolonized, regenerated and fully developed.

In the interval, let Mr. Thayer preceed with his Virginia colonization scheme. The “ generous soil”’—the splendid “ fish and 0; stere”—the “fine poultry”——the “small fat reed fed beeves” of old Princess Anne, fer example, chould no longer be permitted to run waste. Tae Times Stock GampurRsiN A Marn’s Neet.—The stock gamblers of the Daily Times have bees devoting their leisure to a study of the old files of the Huratp. They could not do bet- ter. Among other things they have discovered that, several years ago, when they and the ass te which they belong were filling Wall eet with new joint stock companies of various kinds, many of which were mere humbugs, ani have since gone to the wall, our Wall street porter duly chronicled the progress of each aud all of these concerns, Not one of their stod&y was ever noticed in the editorial columns ef the Henarp. The Times stock gamblers affect to con- sider the reporting of swindling concerns got up by the class in society to which they belong as a criminal act in a newspaper. We do not—it was simply a correct history of rascality. We regret of course that we cannot always guard against being deceived by the false representations of knaves in the same line of business as these etock gamblers: we keep a cloee watch on them, know- ing their character and tendency to deceive ; but, with all our watchfulness over our reporters, we cannot help at times being deluded by thuir falsehoods, and giving credit—and consequently publicity—to their misrepresentations. It is rather cool in the very parties whose rogue- ries we seem to have unwittingly aided to turn round upon us, and abuse us for not having ex pored them before we knew them. When’a pick- pocket has sold the proceeds of his thefts to an innocent party be docs not usually begin to rail at bim, and call him a receiver. But this mat ters not. In future, these stock gamblers may rely upon it, they will not find the Hrnap so pliant to their purposes as they are now trying to prove that it was four or five years ago. We repeat, the editor of this paper has never been engaged in stock operations, and no stocks of any hind bave ever been puffed in its editoriai columns, If he had been in the habit of dealing in railroad and fancy stocks—if, in the course of ove week, be had bought and sold Erie, Central. Michigan Soutbern, Cleveland and Toledo, Cum berland Coal, Chicago and Rock Island, Michigan Central, Galena and Chicago, Wisconsin and Lake Shore, Illinois Central. Reading, Canton. Milwaukie and Mississippi, LaCrosse and Mil waukie,and Panama—as the stock-gamblers o! the Zines do—-the thing might have been diffe- rent. Or if he had been the owner of papor patents, of iron pavements, of hotels and thea- tres, street cleaning machines, and broken Mary land banks, it is hard to say what might bave been done. If be had been engaged in traftic- ing in the mouldering Lones of past generations, with what lumps of brick and clay may cling to them--if he bad gone about hawking these bones to right and left, now debarred from sell ing them to the government by the opinion of the late United States Attorney General, now re- duced to offer them at auction to the descendants of the very persons to whom they belonged—as the stockgamblers of the Zines are now dving— we will not say what change in his paper such a terrible perversion of his mind might not have produced. As it is, he can only pursue bis course, and continue to report the doings of the stock gam- blers ax regularly—though perhaps more search- ingly—than ecems to have been done in times past Rats 4 A New Disrase.— There bas been a good deal said in the papers of late about the rate at Washington ; bat we opine that the quadrupedal animals are not half so ravenous as the bipeds. Two or three weeks be fore the inauguration the hungry rats about Tammany Hall and the Philadelphia and Boston Custom Houses began to show signe of renewed vitality, and simultaneously turned their noses towards Washington, snifling the odors of the kiteben in every breeze. About the 4th of March they commenced a grand stamped. to- wards the District, and oon infested every nook, hole and corner of the capital city.

And whatever may have been the aste of remarks of this character, they certainty do not appear to constitute valid cause for the exercise of the gubernatorial power of removal, in the case of such an officer as a Coroner. It seems from our Albany letter that Coroner Connery’s trial is likely to come off before the Court of Common Pleas or a Judge thereof in | mocipben. this city.

The Hens, which has given currency to Mrs. Saturday night, fought a duel yesterday efternoo. two McMahon's statements, with comments naturally suggested by them, has been accused by inuendo of venality, becauee it sometimes prints in addi- tion to the regular advertisements copies of the announcements of pyblic amusements upon extra sheets. For this the Herarp articles upon thea- tres, concerts, Ac, have been etigmatised as job Office cr iticisme—rather a contradiction of terms. A contract for advertising is a job im the busi- ness tcnee of the term, and a job wherein the ad- vertiser is presumed to get the full value of bis money. It is 4 matter of no consequence in what shape the advertisement is printed: it is simply a matter of business; and if the rule holds good against the Hrray it is equally so against all the papers that take money for advertising the theatres. The charge of venality brought by Mrs. McMahon and others is that editorial opin ions upon matters of art may be purchased for so much money.

Aupany, March 9, 1867, The recent opinion given by a majority of the Sapreme Court of the United States, in the Dred Booul case, is to be reviewed dy the political oponents of those Judges in the Legisiature of the State of New York. This morning, ip the }ouse of Assembly, Judge Foot arose and offered the following joint preambie afd resointions, viz: Whereas. the Supreme Court of the United Sta’es have de- cided, by the concurring opinions of the five mem ers of that court from the levi bolding St that slavery may be ex- tended inte the Territories of the United States, and uhat nei- ther Cor gress por Ter \ioria) government insiita’ed by it, Cheot acolated sinters folbe palonal and most sectouely tm. efiret deo! ny : BRE! the constitutional Tighe of the free cikons of this ime: therefore, ‘ Resolved, (If ibe Senate concur ) That & joist comm'tiee of \bree members of the } enate and tive members o: the Assem- bly de appointed to consi'er and report wha! any) the Legislature of this dete ought to adoot -onstitauonal rigbta cf her ecltizers against the surous and alarming doctrines of the aforesaid “ecision. Tt ts certain that netther Mr. Foot nor the msjority of the Legislature bave much regard for the opiaton thas alleded to. They probably entertain the ssme omaion of the United States Supreme Court when decitions are: rendered egainst ibetr political preferencer as Hezekiah Baker, of the Assembly, does of the Court of Appeals of this State when tt decides ara'nst his causce. He sald, “The Ccurt Bad been found a talluro—it bec from the: fire. recied and steggered like adranken man—those who con Mt Dad felt tte weakness and instadiitty—tt wae lo as water and a fiuctneting as tne winds.’” Mr. Foot’s proposition will be adopie¢d. Taen at kied of rebuke he inteuds to adainis- te u remo Court of the United States. It ip really tobe boped bo will not entirely avribilate the Court before it disposes of reveral othor important ques- tiors now under cousidera! The Governor sent in & munication from tbe Albany Board of Trade, (8n ive body to the ‘Yew York Chamber ¢f Commerce), in wich they ask au epp:opri ation cf one bondred thourend dollars from tne Siate treasory to Improve the navigation of the Budecn river. It seeme that sn cmbarkment of quicksand bas been formed some dozen milce below the city of Albany dur'ng the spring freshet, altering the course of the ebannel. The Governor recommends the projec: of ex. pending the hondrea sbousand dollers, trogiog to the: liberality of the nex: Congress for refunding tbe same. Tie United States goverpment bes recently spent adect sand dollars uyon the same spot in the river, ert is @ hundred per o ficult and dangerous than before the frat doliar~ equendered under the dircctlon ef the set of yoment asses who kuew nothing abcut the cbapie! of the river. If the Boarc of Trade could ra ee serene 7 woe 00d wight reaul ha oot from The State bas vo funds. Will the Legisiatere- evtborize the issuing of bonds predicated upon the belief it Cor grees will contribute the amount a is nex! mest. It the bonds are thus issued the State must in vally Hqaidate them. Bot the Logisiaiure might woven beiter Improve the navigation of the Ecdson river, in which the immense West is interested, then to rau the risk that trede might be dive-ted from the Ete Canal, or of pq candering it upon the lobty.
