But Dame, auu m ucnmu wi . j - t , , . Ml - , FREE NEGROES. We expressed the hope some time since that the Legislature would do something at its present session to remove or mitigate the evil UBder which the people of the State are suffering from the large number of laiy, indolent, drunken free negroes quartered Upon us. We once more allude to . it, trusting that this little article may meet the eye of pome olc of our represent j tatives, who will' move in the, taatter. and bring it to the attention of the Legislature. The interests of the whites, ?ind the I good of the skves imperatively demand that a speedy and offtfdive remedy be applied to this rapidly growiug excrescencc7and we know that there is no measure likely fo engage the time of the two Houses, that willconcern our people more; intimately than this. ::V- ' , We cannot better express our own -views than by giving the following extract-) from a speech of Judge J. A. Stewart, delivered in a convention of slaveholders recently as sembled in Maryland : I Judge J. A. Stewart of Dorchester, ex pressed his regret that this should be call ed a Slaveholders Convention; .he thought it was a mistake; that the whole popula tion of the eastern shore was' interested in this Convention. -They did not come here to protect the interests of the slaveholder lono, f U-xjtai5seB,- by deVIsiiig' EUHie means to govern the free negroes, who are an reproducing class, numbering in those coun'.ies not less than 25.000 souls. If they can be controlled and made available as a producing class, there will be no! more trouble With the slaves. Their bad coun sels and bad example make the slaves dis contented and uuhappy. They cannot con trol themselves; they become vicious, and dishonest and lazy; they corrupt the slave, and arc daily rendering their; species of property less valuable, and it is the duty of all, whether slaveholders or not, to j take them, in charge. The manumission of slaves has been a great error, and an evil to them selves as welt as to the master and slave. The free negroes. must therefore gradually. and by the most reasonable steps.be brought back to tbeironginal condition .1' We must give tbem; permission to leave the State if they think proper, and if they choose ' to remain: we must take the responsibility of aaopung Borne emcient means ot restoring them to control and subjection. . This should be the primary duty of tho next Legislature, and they should meet it man fully nnd without hesitation,- or. else ac knowledge to the world that they have' not the energy and determination to protect their domestic institutions from cradual overthrow and destruction. ' He alluded to the futile efforts, of the Colonization1 So ciety. which has already cost the State about a qaarter of a million of dollars, all of which nag been squandered and wasted. Juage a. then alluded to -the recent speech of Senator Seward, in which he de clared that the States mutt be all free or all slave, as an evidence of the extreme fanat icism that now prevails.' Ho therefore re gnrded it . the dtity of tho people to meet mis question at once, boldly, and manfully, and to elect- their - delegates to the pext Legislature fulty instructed to-take prompt ana emcienc action in . tne matter to pro cure a sufficient corrective. It1 is obr du ty as patriots, as Christians, and as friendsi of humanity, to correct the evil gentleman has no idea of allowing his friends to forget that he is still living, and he, therefore, comes out in full blast upon Kansas and the Administration.

' Bij Robert, Morris: pub lished by T. JB. 'Petersbji & Jirotliers Philadelphia. ; : . . We are indebted to the Fubiisbers for a i handsomely bound copy of the above work;, ahd we endorse' every word of the follow ing notice of the book, from the Home Journal, In these days, it gratifying to find a volume, like the present, wherein ta&te is unvititated and sense undestroyed; in which simplicity of style and clearness of expression are retained, and which' is .written, not to excite the imagination or pander to the evil passions of our nature, but to inculcate lessons of wisdom, as well as to draw to tears and move to laughter. We arc reminded, in reading these essays, of the genial-hearted Goldsmith. They contiin the delicate fancy, the good sense, and the-quiet humor which characterize Goldsmith's writings; and they are, more over, written with the correctness of lan guage. They treat, beside that of court ship and, matrimony, of a variety of sub-. jects, from scenes and experiences in social life,' and are particularly adapted for every day family reading They are, indeed; such as will bear to be read aloud about the evening lamp, and will please and in-' struct not only the "old folks at home,' but also the "little folks. No one can read Mr. Morris's volume without being im pressed by the tone of earnest thoughtful- ness that pervades it, and we believe this work will be the means through which an infinity of good will be accomplished. It is a fit book for anybody to read, and worthy of a place in every family. It is chaste in style, elevating in tone and sentiment, and contains many useful lessons which may contribute to make a happy home. No book before the public contains sounder morality, or practical household wisdom more pleasantly expressed, and certainly there is no collection of essays, better adapt ed for'general reading in the family. As the work has been most enthusiastically praised by such men as John Grigg, it is needless to say that we trust that all per sons will extend to, it their hearty patron age, by sending for it. The publishers will send a copy toany person, to any place, per mail, post-paid, on receipt of 1,25." . - The Village Blackswitii. Mr. James M. Pool, Agent for the Cosmopolitan Art Association; has presented us with a large and elegant engraving The , Villagts Blacksmith, it being an accompaniement to the Cosmopolitan Art Journal, and fur nisLeJ to each subscriber, gratis. The engraving is richly worth the price of mem bership of the Association 3.00. We cannot tetter express our opinion of this superb work of art' than by , adopting the language of thcNew York Programme : A detailed description is unnecessary, as every lover of art should see it for himself. The most prominent figure in the painting is the horse which the srnkh is engaged in skoeing. This is one of the most perfect specimens of animal painting ever exhibit ed in this country, not excepting the best efforts ofj Landseer or Rosa Bonheur. In drawing, coloring, grouping management of light and shade, and attention to detail, the painting also challenges comparison with the best works of the best artists.' we see that Davidson; Since the above was in type, one of- the"' Commoaers from HI A k.

He is a native of North Carolina ; waatrorh in humble life, one of the people Iri oY ertyjiendowed with strong mental powers and.cnergy of character,' By sterp and untiring labor lie has improved these gifts; until his great ability is acknowledged on allisides. Those who know, him well can speak to the integrity and purity, -of-his conduct in all ? the business and social rela tions of life: as such it ought to secure him Lthe approbation of his fellow men. -. Where is the man in Jbe state -who has ldboredso hard -and done so much in season and out of season, in the struggles of the Democratic party to secure the triumph of principle, and place in office others than himself, as he has? and yet, strange as it may appear, as soon as it is discovered that, (even without his seeking it,) his acknowledged merits are about to place him in competition with some who owe tbeir elevation (in part) to him ; when friends; now desirous to see him no longer remain the mere laborer for the benefit of others, belioving him to be deserving ef high reward for faithful ser vices, he is charged; with great of fences he must be broken down be is gravely accused with seeking a Senatorship. Is it a high crime, either against the State or Democratic party, for him or any.Dem ocrat. to seek such place ? Are there, not others seeking it ? But Mr,. Holden says he has not sought it ; atd is he to bo de nounced because he has; friends (and nu merous they . are), who prefer to see, him Senator, to some of those, other than the present incumbents, .who are said to be seeking ii, although he may not be a Law yer, a Judgernor as yet a Governor ? . Perhaps it may be wrong in Mr. Hold en's friends to speak . of fiueh things.- It may possibly be looked upon in some quar ters as a grave offence that any one should advocate placing the laborer over the heads of some of those whom his valuable services have helped to make. However great the offence may be, or howeycr distasteful to some persons, it will surely be found to be true, that there are many; very many, who would be willing to see this thing done. From one of the charges, (that in rela tion to the articles which appeared in the Warrenton Keics, and which charge he has fully 'answered.) i it would seem that to some persons it is much more ipleasaDt to' keep buu where he is, and: to exact from him the. continued exerciso of his talents, in defending publie servants; who have been clothed with authority by the Demoeraffc party, against any and every . attempt, whether right or wrong, to call those pub lic servants to account for the .manner in which .their powers have b?en exercised. Now, taking all the charges, together, and what under the circumstances do they amount to, but this : that there are some persons who desire to keep him djwnto faep himuhere he is, and make him the worker for others? But as sure as he lives, the great -voice of the people will call aloud for bis reward, and time will witness that he r'eceives it. X1 I -', '. ' Yours, &c, A DEMOCRAT. Senator. Douglas PlatforST.
