"peonage Jlai Keen Abolished."
"Havana,' Deo. 6.--Mexioan dates to the
27th ult. have been received. Teonage has been
Abolished." So runB ft despatch by the Cuban
"cable received yesterday, and brief as it la, it
contains an, angury ot the etability of the
Mexican Government far more favorable than
would the news of the greatest victory which
the repnblio could have achieved. It is indeed
true that the world moves, One land after
Another strikes the fetters from the slave, and
one by1 one they" acknowledge the rights of
mod as men. Russia, so long afflicted with
serfdom, declares all her serfs free. The
United States, amid the din of war, abolishes
human slavery, and excludes the mention of
a slave from herTlaws. t And' now Mexico
places the peon on a leveVwith'his fellow-man,
and declares this variety of slavery at an end.
It is curious to mark the distinctions between
the "sum of all villainies" as It exists in vari
ous portions of the globe to see how In one
country its features are derived from the
ancient villeinage, In another from the old
Roman system, while in the third the
purest and most unmitigated r atrocity ; is
allowed which has no precedent in history, j
The system of serfdom,' as it existed in Rus
sia, can be traced, in its striking resemblance
to all its features, to the old Saxon institution
of villeinage. Or it may be more proper for
us to say that the serf and villein were con
temporaries, and that the one has continued
until now, while the other has long since
given place to the more enlighttned freeman
of Anglo-Saxon liberty. In both of these
cases, we notice that the serf or villein was
Attached, in the bonds of slavery, to rather
the estate of his master than to his person; or,
to put it differently, he was a kind of family
relic, and not an'artiole of merchandise.
Neither serfdom nor villeinage contemplated the
involuntary sale of the inferior. The master
had his estate entailed, and the villein went
with the estate. We do not find on record
any account of the publio sale or transfer of
these unfortunate people that disgrace was
reserved for our enlightened age and . free
country. The difference, however, between
the two systems in England and Russia must
have existed, or else the constitution of the
temperament of the two superior nations must
have been very great. In the former the villien
gradually rises from his degradation and infe
riority, so that, when finally the statute trans
ferring all tenures into free socage was passed,
Lord Bacon mentions the fact that there were
not twenty villeins in the' kingdom, and
these few were held by rejigious houses. So
that, under the milder sway of that system, the
inferior managed, by his own aid, to elevate
himself, and virtually abolish the institution
without any legal enactment. This maybe
due to the Anglo-Saxon love of liberty, or to
Borne superiority of the system over that of
Russia. In the last-named country, for over
two centuries after the abolition in England of
villeinage, the serf continued in his ancient
bondage; and 'when 'the decree" of the Czar'
made him a free man, he seems . to have ad
vanced no further in his progress towards im
. provement than he was when he and his con
temporary villeins did service to their respec
tive masters five hundred years ago. The
difference between the liberty-loving Saxon
spirit and the sluggish Slavonio inertness
oould not be more clearly marked than is
done by the conditions of these twin institu
tions. ;
The .variety of slavery with which Mexico
has been afflicted,' is peonage, and bears a
curious resemblance to the anoient , Roman
system. There can be few , things more
curious than to note the resemblance exist
ing between oppression in different ages
nd different lands. . In the . anoient days of
Rome, the wealthy secured the bondage of the
poor by the surrender of the person of the
debtor into slavery until the obligation was
discharged, and this surrender reached to his
children. During the continuance of the
debtor in this state of subjection, he was in
capable of acquiring property, was attendant
on the person of his master, and was capable
of resale by his virtual owner. In all essen
tial particulars he was as great a slave as
though he were a Russian serf. As time
went on his children were born into the same
condition as himself, and thus a system of
slavery gradually sprung up in the Roman
empire which partook of the barbarity of the
Russian and Saxon. To be sure, the rights of
the client were greater than those of the
Villein, but the system remained a crying
wrong against the rights of man. The over
throw of the empire and the rude equality
of the German oonquerors overturned the sys
tem, and relieved those who were thus
oppressed on no other ground than the pov
erty of their ancestors. Mexican peonage la,
in fact, nothing but the Roman systema
peon is a poor olieut. It was founded originally
In debt. "As the debt could not be paid, as
the peon oould acquire no property, the
evil spread. Children, however, did not
inherit the servitude of their parents,
yet gradually the whole land ' was
overrun with the curse. The treatment
which the peon mot with was much more bar
. barous than that of rhe Roman client; , they

tions, all hope of freedom from the kindness of
their masters was removed. By a sweeping
edict, we are now told that peonage is uni
versally abolished; that this variety of Blavery
ia made a thing of the past, and we oan but
repeat our remark, that the repnblio, by that
act, has laid for itself a stronger' foundation
than it oould have secured by a score of mar
tial victories. We are heartily glad that onr
sister repnblio has thus proved herself worthy
of her freedom.
While each of these systems has a parallel
among the ancients, there seems to be none
within reach whiuh acts as a preeodeut for
the unadulterated tyranny of our American
slavery. It was absolute, it made men mer
chandise, it was hereditary. It combined in
one gigantio evil all the wrongs of all its pre
decessors, and that, too, without any of their
ameliorations. But while it was reserved for
us to make this essenoe of wrong, it was also
reserved for us to be the firBtto abolish It.
There can be no doubt but that the actions of
Russia and Mexico were the results of the de
cision of the United States. It was we who
set the reform in motion, and while our crime
may have been great, our expiation was as
severe. Serfdom, slavery, peonage are now
no more, and the age when man shall be uni
versally recognized as man seems almost to be
reached. With the action of Brazil will come
freedom to all where Christianity reaches, and
all can claim to thare our modern civilization.
The Union League and General Grant,
Last evening the Union League of this city
held their annual meeting for the election of
officers and the general review of the situa.
tion, political and otherwise. The . annual re
port of the Board of Directors closes with a
eulogy of General Grant, "the champion of our
faith in the embattled field the administra
tor of our policy, whether at the head of our
army or in an Unfriendly and suspioious
Cabinet the sagacious citizen who is too dis
creet to waste tipe in superfluous words, or to
woo popularity with idle protestations the
conqueror in a hundred battle-fields, the pro
portions of which stagger the belief of foreign
military crities the illustrious chief whose
whole grand history has been one. undoubted
record of his fidelity to our oause, and of his
willingness 'to suffer or to die for it." These
are words of lofty praise, and few there are
who will doubt their truthfulness and Justice,
although there may be many who will, never
less, prefer another standard-bearer for our
party. , -r j
At the conclusion of the report, Charles Gib
bons, 'Esq., made a formal motion that General
U. S. Grant be declared the choice of the
League for next President of the United States.
There was some demurring to this,and, when
the vote was taken, dissenting voices were heard.
Yet it was plainly evident that the preferences
of a vast majority of the members favored the
movement, and the nomination of the hero of
Vicksburg and Appomattox may be said to
have been almost by acclamation. This is un
doubtedly the strongest endorsement that
General Grant has received as yet in any part
of the country. The Union League of Phila
delphia, for eterliag patriotism and wide
spread influence, stands without a rival among
the similar organizations throughout the land,
and when Its almost undivided voioe is pro
claimed to be in favor of General Grant for
President, the friends of that great soldier
have good cause for rejoicing. Yet the time
for placing the Republican candidate before the
people is several months distant, and the
future, both of the country and the party,' is
so fraught with momentous events and so un
certain withal, that at this day it is utterly
impossible to divine the position of the one or
the necessities of the other when the time for
a final decision shall arrive. '." ", '. , j '
i ....., A Diplomatic Muddle.
Tub ways of European diplomatists are very ,
myBUrious, and at times past finding out.
This is preeminently the case with reference
to the Roman question, and the proposition
for disposing of it by a general conference of
"the powers, " great and small, Catholio and
Protestant. The cable has informed us that
on Saturday evening, in the House of Com
mons, Lord Stanley expressed his inability to
see that any good would result from this Con
ference, "without a previous agreement as to
the basis upon which their .deliberations
should be conducted." And, of course, the
absence of such an agreement prevents Eng
land fjom accepting the invitation of France
to participate. From the outset, this has been
the universal objection to the favorite method
of Napoleon for distributing the responsibility
of a settlement of the question among all the
powers; and although it is authoritatively an
nounced by La Pressa of Paris that the Con
ference will in due time assemble In that city,
it is extremely doubtful if suoh will be the
case. ,
According to the established policy of this
country, no Conference is needed to determine
such points as are at issue. The Roman
question is an Italian question, and the only
parties to it are King Victor Emanuel and
Pope Pius IX. England, France, and Ger
many have no better right to interfere than
they have to propose a general consultation
of the civilized world on the reconstruction of
South Carolina. If the Pope and Italy are
permitted to settle their own disputes, the
end will soon be "reached. But this state of
affairs is utterly impossible, and for that rea
son ageneral Conference ia the most feasible
method of terminating a qdestion whloh will
threaten the peace of Europe so long as it re
mains an open one. The fact that no definite
basis for the deliberations of the Conference
can be agreed upon should not stand in the
way. If all the powers were agreed upon the
conditions of the settlement, the Conference
would be a' highly ornamental affair, of no
practical effect whatever. The mere fact that
the powers are unable to agree is, in truth,
the very reasob why they should come together
for the sake of effecting an agreement. This,
is tbe oommon-sense view of the matter; Jbuiy
unfortunately, common sonse and Earopnan
diplomacy are as unlike each other as sun
Slilne and darkness. -
Our PonLio Domain. It has been but a short
time einoe Congress inaugurated the present
system of aiding the construction of railroads
by grants of land to the parties interested in
them, And yet it has already devoted to that
purpose 124,000,000 of acres of our publio do
main. In addition to this, C7,588,000 aores
have been donated to the soveral States for
various purposes. Altogether, including that
given in aid of the construction of common
highways or wsgon roads, tho land grants have
Amounted to the enormous sum of 18 1,813,900
acres, which equals In extent the territory of
Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsyl
vania, New Jersey, New York, and the six'
New England States, with a surplus of
6,0f0,C00 of aores. Notwithstanding these
vast donations, the United States is still the
owner in fee-simple of 1,405,403,800 acres, ex
clusive of Alaska, the 369,539,000 acres of
which make a grand total of 1,834,998,4001
Yet Mr. Seward appears to be impressed with
the idea that our territorial limits are too re
stricted, and Is engaged in a laudable effort at
buying up all the sunken and demolished
islands of the sea. This would be quite a
harmless amusement on the part of the face
tious Secretary, if it were not for the fact that
he pledges the faith of the nation to pay for
these islands at the rate of $7,500,000 per pair.
If Mr. Seward will have the patience to wait,
We do not doubt but that we will in time ob
tain the entire continent, with all its outposts,
and that for the mere asking.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Politic In the Weil-Tb. Unanimity
for Grant The Financial Question
Tbe Wast Opposed to Contraction
National Banks and Bonds. . . i
Lawuknuk, Kuiisf., Deo. 7, 1867.
I have taken some pains, since leaving Pblla
de'phla, to get at the publio sentiment of the.
Wtstupon poIlWcal topics, especially the pre
vailing feeling among Republicans., There is
I ut one opinion, so far as I have found, in re
gard to the rumination of General Grant as the
Republican candidate for the Presidency! in
1808, and that Is in- his favor. : Nobody else Is
talked about; Ills nomination Is considered as
much a foregone conclusion as though tbe
nominating convention bad already assembled
and formally presented bis name to the people.
Unless some at present unforeseen and impro
bable contingency shall arise, tbe West will
present an nnbroken delegation for Grant In
the Republican convention. And this .unani
mity for Grant, so far as I can peroeive, arises
from no lowering of tbe Republican standard
no reaction ln the: sentiment of the
party, no . going backward by the ' Re
jutilloan masses, but rather from j a
deep-seated confidence in the man himself, and
in his devotion to the essential principles and
policy of the party. He is believed to stand
with Congress upon tbe subject of reconstruc
tion , and that Is considered tho vital point at
the present conjuncture. I have not conversed
with a single Republican who proposes to baolc
down from tbe principle of Impartial suffrage
In the reconstruction of the late Rebel States.
Grant is believed to be all right on this point.
Thtn, In addition, there is a general feeling
that Grant's election would serve to quiet and
harmonize tbe whole country, and to hasten the
day of tbe full and final restoration of the
Union. There is no particular enthusiasm for
Grant; no attempt to get up a furore, or to rush
things, but what I have given above seems to be
the general sentiment of tbe party. Outside of
military names, Colfax is undoubtedly the
favorite of tbe West, and would command more
personal enthusiasm than any other man who
oould be named. . . ,, ' :
The chief topio of public interest throughout
the "West Is tbe financial question. I have
heard thirty men talk about it to one who has
mentioned reconstruction or negro suffrage.
Tbe latter are considered as questions virtually
settled, while tbe financial question is an ever
present one, and of vital personal Interest to
each citizen. If Is safe to say that the West is
unanimously opposed to any further contrac
tion of the currency. The protestations of news
paper financiers in the great money centres of .
the East that the currency is redundant, and
that the nation must speedily return to specie
payments through the process of contraction,
awaken not tbe slightest ripple upon the sur
face of publio sentiment at the West. One great
reason oi this is that at tbe West there is no
redundancy, but rather a lock or currency for
tbe actual needs of the people. Old communi
ties, like our Eastern States, that have the
accumulated capital of from one to two hun
dred years, do not require the same amount of
currency accordingly as newer States. At the
West everything is new; roads are to be con
structed, bridges built, fences erected, dwell
ings and barns constructed, fruit trees
planted, mills, school houses, and churches
built-in short, all the appliances of civilisation '
are to be created. This demands capital, and a
great deal of itand it demands a large supply
pf currency, The demand for capital is shown
by the high rates of interest that prevail in the
West. Ten per cent, is the almost universal
rule, and I am told that the banks herein Kan
sas demand and get twelve. It is idle to tell suoh
a people that tbe currency is too plenty. More
over, the West has been deprived of its fair and
Jw-t share of the circulation under the National
Banking system. Indeed, I find adeop-seated
feeling of hostility to the national banks. The
Idea of substituting greenbacks for the national
bank circulation is a popular one with nearly
the entire community, and the views of Messrs.
Butler, rendition, and Stevens are by no means
as unpopular as tbey are at the East. I indorse
none of theBe sentiments as my own I simply
give the state of publio opinion as I find It.
Tbe financial question is bound to exercise a
most Important influence npon the Presidential
campaign. It overrides party lines all throuicb
the Went. My own association has been almost
exclusively with Republicans. The Demo
cratic Journals correctly represent the senti
ments of tbelr party atltha, West. The harden
of taxation Is heavily felt at tbe West as well,
as at the East. The people do not mean to be dis
honorable, nor to do anything but what is Just
and right, but tbey are exceedingly restive
under all those peculiarities of our financial
system which afford special privileges or build
up monopolies. The exemption of rhe national
bonds from taxation Is very unpopular. la
tbe West they are mainly In the hands of
t wealthiest men In the community, who
thus escape taxation, while the farmer, the
rnerolianl. and the monbanlo munt support the
bmirienaof anolaly. Th ihlnK form a fruit
