APPRESTICtD SL U KS.
In this enlightened day of the nineteenth
century, when the dreams of Cnriftan men
were about to be realized n the universal free
dom of races, they are astonished to find that a
day of utter darkness is returning, and human
ity is lor another period to bear the yoke of bon
dage. Under the specious name of Apprentices
.Napoleon the Little has undertaken to supply
trie French colonial possesions with slave ia >or
bought and brought from the coasts of Airica.
But not alone is Louis Napoleon in the c.-sire t .r
the j.erunia.-y te-nefi'.v ofslave laboV. The
British pres#, both at re and abroad, with
singular unanimity enter into the prr. ot*
Alncan and poy apprentice? : extract ug in
anticipation the greatest amount of success.

a-.le —r.ot tor \ ears only, but tar lit'-—upon
British s>ii.
Shade ol l\ Goerlorce iof;k down. Devotees
at the skirts of Mrs. Stowe take h-eri. Where
now s;.o.i we lxk for the progress of enlighten
ment lien the boasted regenerator of the w >Hd
meditates a relapise into darkness 7 Has Britain
reached that point in civilization winch turns
nations hack to barbarism ' Has sueptijjsm
already destroyed everything within h-x, tot
trie regard for self ? .No reasoning ran ewe
the eyes of the world to the tact that the system
about to be established is anything el*- t.'.an sla
very. fail it apprenticing—term i? free Jnhor
and still the negro will not recognise theditr'er
ence between his condition as an apprentice
and tfiat as a siave. In either case he but sub
serves the purposes of another. What matters
it except ia degree if his lerin of service en
dures only for ten or twenty vears, if during
that time he is held by an involuntary process.
Service performed under* these circumstances
ean be nothing short of slavery.
The worst feature, if possible, of the appren
tice slave business is tr.e gathering desire to
transplant the Sepoys of the Ea,t to the planta
tions ol the West Indie.. In the event of the
subjugation of the mutineers, considerations ol
safety dictate such measures as will effectually
prevent a recurrence of the atrocities of which
India has been so ptolificof late. In view of
this it seriously proposed to enslave and scat
ter the ievolted inhabitants over "the empire
upon \s hit h the sun never s-ts." 5 In this under
taking it is intended tci at once repair pecuniary
loss anil strike such an impression upon the
barbarous tributaries oftbe East as will forever
overawe and force them to quietly bear the iron
rule of liinr masters.—Taking the question sim
ply as a generality, without attending to the
revo.tmg particulars given by colonial newspa
pers, it tail- to si rike the mind as a proceeding
otherwise than tyrannical. Before adopting a
course so manifestly at vaiiance with the spirit
which animates the true American—and which
should animate all mankind—the cupidity ami
stolidity of the English official charactei should
for once give place to English justice in the
treatment of British tributaries. b>o.Tieihiug bet
ter is expected of the English people, after their
unqualified abuse of the American people f-r
the existence of a Constitutional necessity, than
the enslavement of East Indians or the traffic ir.
African negroes.
The mock sympathy hitherto extended by
the British press to the Abolition spirits of this
country in their fanatical and blinded crusade
against American slavery is now thoroughly ex
posed. The New York Tribitne y too, is betray
ing the hollowness of its professions of world
wide emancipation anil goes in for m prenticed
slaves. To he apprized of this fact, however,
is not to afford matter of wonder, bur AS MM. ply
exhibiting another view of Greeley's m .ial-p -
iitical kaleidescope. Change, with the 77T
bvne, appears to occur as regularly a.-the s< a
suns of nature.

Wamiixotc v. TV-oa.ber 7.—Tlm* president
firmly sustains the measures proposed by the
f>c<unpton Kansa* Contention, as do mar!* all
the Democratic members of Congress, North .
and South. The apostate? and sect ion in* s have'
rnsssed their aim this tin e. They will be cover- j
erl with mortification and contempt.
Ihe President's message will probably not
he sent in till Tuesday, as it will'consume the
whole ofto-dav swearing in members.
There is less excifen nt than n.Tgfif be an-'
ticipated regarding the Kansas question. The i
President's views on the subject, which will be
•>ri fly hut firir.lv expressed in the message, are :
that the Kansas Convention, being in its nature j
a sovereign body, bad an undoubted right to sub
mit the Constitution to the p-ople < r not, as it
might s-e,. fit, and that tor Congress n, m?nt upon I
the Convention adopting any particular course.
Would be a'd:te< t intervention and in fla'rant
violation of the doctrine of popular sovereignly;
that, ind< pendent of tin- only questi .n of anv
importance, slavery i- to he su mitled to tit*e J
p-ople of Kansas: and that there i s neiifier
exc >e nor justification in a refusal, therefore,.to:
ti: • Locompton Constitution and act
up <ll it.
i'iii- is in (iicct conflict with Governor Walk-*;
er- p isi'ion ; ut there is no doubt it will b
jrquiesced in by a large majority of the Northern
Democratic im-mbeis, including the New York j
lino Pennsylvania delegations. An at tempt wiil
f roba ' y be made to shirk the question, fiv the
i passage ofan enabling act similar to the Aim- j
, ne.sota act, and thus referring the matter back |
to the people of Kansis. But (tie firm pnsi- 1
•ion taken by the President, it is believed, will I
j prevail.
A r ; irt of the court-martial which tried I
' done] Sumner, on the charge against him pre
ferred by Mjor Deas, has been transmitted to
the President. The court finds him "notguilty" i
on every charge afiectiiig his personal reputa- I
; tun, and '•guilty on the minor points relating j
ito discipline or etiquette. H- is sentenced to i
lour in milts' su-pension from command, i he-j
j lieve his -ntetKT' bas not yet been approved'
by the Piegident. A personal difficulty, aris-'
ing out of the mailer, i> pending between Col., !
Sumner and Gen. Harney, the President of the!

—The weather to-day is charming, and the;
opening of Congress fias attracted dense crow ds i
in the of both Houses and other parts j

hers an i their friends served to render tfit* scene S
pleasantly exciting.
Sknat;:.—On th" roll being called, fifty Sen- j
j ators answered to their names. The Senate
! was called to order by the Secretary, who read ;

Scattering, 15
The announcement of the result was greeted
with applause.
Tlie Cleik appointed Messrs. Giddings and
Banks as a Committee to conduct Mr. Orr to
the Chair.
On assuming the Chair, Mr. Orr expressed
his thanks for the honor conferred upon him.
The delicate and responsible duties ol the Chair
he said, would be comparatively light, if he
should i f so fortunate as to secure the co-opera
tion of the members in dispatching business and
in upholding the dignity of the House. He
promised to administer the rules, whirl) may
tie adopted, with firmness and impartiality. The
great business confided to them by the people
admonished them to cultivate a patriotism as ex
pansive as the confederacy itself. He cherished
the hope that the public business would be trans
acted so as to promote the interests and happi
ness of the k entire people and the Constitution
would be maintained in its integrity, and that the
Legislature would quicken tiie greatness and
glory ofonr common country.
The members were then sworn in, advancing
in delegations for that purpose.
