On the contrary, wo have the evidence of aorae of the moßt respected Southern statesmen that the slave has been injured, and wo have the facts before us in Constitutions of several of the States, to show that the free colored persons are worse off than they were. That ,is the case as to the colored races. .What have been the effects of slavery agitation in the country? It has arrayed onojbody of I States against the others. It has created hos tilities, heart-burnings, and all manner of bad foeling amongst men who should live together as brothers. It has disturbed the general business of the copntry. And finally it has brought almost to the verge of destruction the best and wisest, and happiest nation that eyer existed on the face of the earth. Wo put it to the common sense and consciences of our readers,’ whether a party that produces no good for any,'and so much evil for all, should receive their support. Upon these points we present from the Legislative history of the I the.-remarks of two eminent states -1 men delivered years ago, and what waß true at I that time,, is ten-fold the truth now. BUCHANAN AND BENTON ON ANTI-81AVEEY BO a < { /> OIETIEB IN 1836. ■ ’ Mr. Buchanan presented the memorial of the religious society of “ Friends,” in the State of Pennsylvania, adopted at their Cain quar terly meeting, requesting Congress to abolish Slavery in tho District of Columbia. He said the memorial did not emanate from fanatics, endeavoring to disturb, the peace and security of society in the. S -rnthern States, by the dis tribution of incendiary publications, but from a society of Cimstians, „whose object had always been to promote, good will and , peace among men. It was entitled to respect, from the character of the memorialists; but lie dis sented from tho opinion which they expressed and the 'request which they made. The Con stitution recognized Slavery; it was found here when the District Was coddd to tho United States; the slaves here were the property of the inhabitants;-and he was opposed to the disturbance of their rights. Congress had no right to interfere with Slavery in the States. That was determined in the first Congress that ever sat-;in. the Congress which commenced in 1789,and ended jnl79l—and ,in,the first session of that Congress. The Religious So ciety ■ of Fricnda tneh' petitioned Congress against Slavery,, qpd it was resolved, in an swer to'that petition,'that Congress had no authority to Interfere in tho emancipation of slaves, or with their treatment in any of the States, ahd that was the answer.still to he given. He then; adverted to the circumstances under which the memorialwas presented. Anumber of fanatics, led on by foroignincendiaries, have been scattering firebrands through the Southorn States—publications and pictures exciting the slaves to revolt, and to the destruction of their owners. Instead of bonefltting the slaves by this conduct, they do them tho greatest injury, causing the bonds to - he drawn tighter upon thein; and postponing emancipation even in those Btales tohich might eventually contemplate it. These were his opinions on slavery, and on the prayer of this memorial. He was opposed to granting tho prayer, but was in favor of re ceiving tlie petition; as the similar one had been received in 1790,and giving Itthe same answer; and he had no doubt with the same happy effect of putting an end to such applications, and giving peace and quiet to the country.” * • • * * “Mr. Benton rose to express his concurrence in the suggestion*of the SenatorfromPennsyl vnnia (Mr. Buchanan), that the consideration of this subject be postponed until Monday. It had come up suddenly' and unexpectedly to-day, and. the postponement would give an opportu nity for to reflect, and to confer to gether, and to conclude what was best to bedone, where all were united in wishing the same end namely, to allay, and not to produce excite ment. He had risen for this purpose; but, being on his feet he would say a few words on tho general subject, which the presentation of , these petitions had so suddenly and unexpect edly brought np. With respect to tho peti tioners, and those with whom they acted, he I had no doubt but' that many of them were good people, aiming at benevolent objects, and endeavoring to ameliorate the condition of one part of the human race, without inflict ing calamities on another part; but they were mistaken in their mode ot proceedings, and so far from accomplishing any part of their object ; the whole effect of their interposition Was to aggravate the condition of those in whose behalf .they ; were' ‘ interfering. But there was another, part, and bo meant to speak Mi the abolitionists generally, as the body con tain the'.part of which bespoke; there was another part whom lie could not qualify as igood people, Seeking benevolent ends by! mis taken meins, bitt.as incendiaries and agitators, with diabolical’ objects in viow, to be accom plished'by, wtekfa and deplorable means. Ho did not’ go Into the proofs now to establish the correctness of ids opinion of this latter class, but lie presumed it would bo admit ted that every attempt to work upon the passions, of. the: .slaves, and to excite them to murder their'owners, was a wicked and diabolical atlympt,, and tho work of a midnight .incendiary. - Pictures of slave de gradation end. misery, and of tho white man’s luxury arid cruelty, were attempts of this kind; for they were appeals to tliovou goanee of slaves, and not,to the intelligence or reason of those who' legislated for them. ’*tolo 0 0 ' But it was- nett pictures alone that operated upon the passions of the slaves, hut speeches, publications, petitions presented iu Congress, and the whole machinery of Abolition so cieties.: None of these things went to the understandings of the.slaves, but to their pas sions ; all imperfectly, understood, and In spiring vague hopes, .and stimulating abortive and fatal insurrections. Societies, especially, were the foundation of the greatest mischiefs. Whatever might be their, objects, tho slaves never did, and never can, Understand therii hut in one way—as allies, organized for action and ready to inarch to their aid on the first signal ofiiimirrection. ;It was thus thitt tho massacre "of Sail Domlngb Was made. ' ' * * . Mr. B. weut on to say that these societies had already- perpetrated more mischief than the joifit remainder of all their lives spent ip prayers of contrition could over atone for. Tlifey had thrown tlio state of tho emancipa tion question fifty years back. They had sub jected every traveller, and every emigrant, from the non-slaveholding States, to be received with coldness, and viewed with suspicion and jealousy in the slave-hold ing States. They had occasioned many slaves to lose their lives. They had caused tho deportation of many ten thousands from the grain growing to the planting States. They had caused the privileges of all slaves to be curtailed, and their bonds to be more tightly drawn. Nor was the mischief of their con duct confined to slaves; it reached the free, colored people, and opened a siidden gulf of misery to that population. In all the slavo States this population lias paid tho forfeit of their intermediate position; and suffered pro scription as the instruments, real or suspected, of the abolition societies. In all these States their exodus had either been enforced or was ■impending. Having said thus much of tho abolition so cieties in the non-siavehoidfng States, Mr. B. turned, with-pride and exultation, to a differ ent' theme —the conduct of the great body of the people iti all these States. Before he saw that conduct, and while the black question, like a p'ortentjous cloud, was gathering and darken ing on tho Northeastern horizon, lie trembled, not for tho South; but for the Union. He feared that he saw the fatal work of dissolu tion about to begin, and the bonds of this glo rious confederacy about to snap; but tho con duct of the gTcat body of the people in all the non-slaveholding States quickly dispelled that fear, and in its place planted deep the strong est assurance of the harmony and indivisi bility of the Union, which ho had felt for many years. Their conduct was above all praise, above all thanks, above all gratitude. They Had chased off the foreign emissa ries, silenced the gabbling tongues of female dupes, and dispersed the assemblages, whether fanatical, visionary, or incendiary, of all that congregated to preach against evils which afflicted others, not them; and to propose remedies to aggravate the disease which they pretendpd to cure. They had acted with a noble spirit- They had extended a vigor be yond all taw. They had obeyed the enact ments, not of the statute’hook, hut of the heart; trad while that spirit was in the heart, ho cared nothing for laws written in a hook. Ho woiild rely upon that spirit to complete ' it has begun : to dry up these separate the mistaken pliilau the reckless fanatic and the iary, and put an end to publica tions which, whatever may be m have no other effect than to ject which they invoke, and to )vil which they doplore, leso extracts at tbo present, mp. lo.—u .—-—■>—-i.i. ■— , than twenty years ago, they' pertinent and as just at this day vd only yesterday been uttered, part of Col. Benton’s speech seems to refer to the union of patriotic men which eleoted Mr. Buouanan President. Tlint union reflected not only the highest honor upon them, but it opened the door to every other man, who, while thinking uud acting ditferenjly in 1856, may now behold the true and the solid safety of bis country to consist in a hearty co-operation with those who achieved that great victory. Every aspect of politics is in proof of the fact, that an immense body of our countrymen have decided to act on this motive. ROYALTY EXPENSIVE. There is something magnificent, to some people, in being liberal, and even profuse with money not their own. John Bull particularly rejoices in such a thing as this. He seems to think that, having got a Royal Family, there is nothing more fitting than to take every op portunity of heaping gifts upon them. If John Bull himself does not do this, his Parliament docs, which ought to be (but is not) all the same. The annual allowance to Queen Victoria is close on $2,000,000, in hard cash. She has other advantages, such as being exempt from house-rent and taxes, having her different palaces kept in repair, and so on. She has the income of the Duchy of Lancaster, which is about $ 160,000 more. She has appropriated to hersejf, since his birth, the Prince of "Wales's $126,000, from the rental of his Duchy of Cornwall estates. In a word, she is very well provided for, it must be admitted. Her hus band has a Parliamentary life-dower of $160,000 per annum, and about as much more accruing from various lucrative appointments, which his affectionate wife and generous sovereign lias heaped upon him. It does not cost him a cent for the expenses of living, for the Queen provides all of that. Victoria and Albert receive, between them, some $2,500,000 a year, and probably save a third of the amount. Fortunate people i They evidently were born not with silver, but witli golden spoons, in tlieir mouths. They have what the Irishman would call “a large small family” of nine. The eldest, not yet seventeen, will soon be mnrried to a young gentleman, nephew and heir presump tive to the bibulous King of Prussia. The Prince of Wales, if he survive his mothor, (which is doubtful, as ho is a puny lad,) will yet be King of England. The rest of the family will bo quartered upon the British pub lic, as soon as ever they become men and women, the usual allowance to a Prince or Princess of England being about $125,000 per annum for life. Victoria and her husband have laid by con siderable portions of their income in the course of seventeen years. Report runs that a good deal of thisis carefully invested in good American'securities, and that the Queen of England, in another name, actually possesses considerable real estate in New York. (It is believed that they apprehend a revolution, which will drive them into exile, am! that they have provided for a reverse, very largely and prudently.) Bo this so or not, certain it is that, a few months ago, the Queen sent mes sages down to Parliament, announcing the in tended marriage of her daughter, with a mo dest request that they would provide her with a dowry. In ordinary cases, when man and ivifc have a family, with a fixed income, terminating at their death, they cither save money, to portion off and provide for their children, or prudently resort to Life-Assurance to secure that pro vision. Victoria and Albert have saved several millions—but, so attached are they to the British people, that they preferred using the public money to disbursing their own. Accordingly while English tax payers were grumbling, as well they might, over the expenditure of $600,000,000, in two years, over the Russian war—in which Franco got the glory and gained the influence—Lord Palmerston, pleasant wag thathe is, aßked the British Parliament to vote $360,000 by way of outfit, with an annual grant ol $40,000 during the life of the young lady. Her aunt, (the eldest daughter of George III.,) received like dowry, on her marriage to the King of Wurtemburg, without the annuity. The young Princess, thus placed in a state of Royal Pau i perism, comes from a very long-lived family, PHILADELPHIA, FRI •Sind, is likoly to live halt a century more.

The matches arc often made up before the parties most deeply interested have ever had a glimpse of each other. Royalty lias its drawbacks, not the least being the necessity of continuing iu « single blessed ness,** unless corresponding rank be the wooer. No English Priuco or Princess cau marry a subject—not even the eldest son of a Duke. Luxuries must be paid for ? if people indulge in them. John Bull piques himself on Ids “duty, devotion, and loyalty” to life sovereign rulor, and ought not grumble, therefore, if Princes, Princesses, ami so on,are more costly than other mortals. A\ r e know a land, how ever, where the idea of pensioning of a large family of royal children would be received with a strong mixture of contempt and indig nation. CORRESPONDENCE .

It is easy to see that t!ic foreign correspondence of the American papers is likely to fall into abeyauce, under the now regime. Such part of it ns is quietly composed in the editorial sanctum must share the fall.

SAMUEL H. CATLIN. Affirmed to before me this sth day of August, 1857. "WiLUASt S. DATiaos, Police Justice. On tho margin of the affidavit was the following, written by Mr. Oakey Hail: Thia affidavit of Dr. Catlin’s U taken by mo after be vrafl sworn by- Justice D&Tison, and he is by my consent, on bis own proposition, a witness for the State. 1 have merely taken a statement of a few Important facts in a statement he has made me, and he has carefully revised the affidavit himself. A. OAKEY HALL, District Attorney. Tho case was then adjourned to ten o’clock this morning. inis. share is the bubdell It has been slated that if the Surrogate should decide tho question of Mrs. Cunningham’s applica tion before him for letters of administration upon the estate of the late Dr. Harvey Burdell —which decision depends entirely upon tho qaestion of her marriage to tho her favor, that she would receive, as widow, one-thinl of the estate of Burdell. But according to law she would receive more than that, vix: one-half of tho estate of the deceased, for when a porson dies intestate, leaving a widow and no issue, tho widow is entitled to one-half of the entire estate of the deceased. But as Mrs. Cunningham's ‘‘baby” cannot in herit Dr. Burdell’s estato, and as Mrs. Cunning ham is presumed by the recent little affair to have damaged her chances for her “thirds,” who the legal heirs uro is a matter of some public interest. Tho estate is estimated to bo worth between $40,000 and $50,000, and comprises the houses Nos. 29 and 31 Bond street, with some real estate id Herkimer county and Elisabethtown. The leading heirs aro AYm. Burdell, a^ brother of Dr. Burdell, who resides in Ohio; Lewis Burdell, a brother, re siding in New York; James B. Burdell, a brother, residing in Wisconsin, and four children of John Burdell, u brother deceased. uns. Cunningham's counsel. Judgo Dean, who was placed in rather a ludi crous position by his points presented before tbe Surrogate on Tuesday, urging tho Court to decide iu Mrs. Cunningham s favor for the sake of estab lishing the legitimacy of her child, claims to hare been greatly surprised when he heard the true state of affairs. He says that ho has acted entirely in good faith in the matter; that Mrs. Cunning ham told him sho was tnciente some months ago, and that he never doubted the truth of ,her state ment in the least until the late exposition. He has determined not to act as her counsel in the present case, though he will continue as suoh in the case before the Surrogate. He is now about leaving tor Washington; to be absent for some time. Mr. Clinton just returned to the city on Monday last, from Sharon Springs, Schoharie county, New York, where he has been rusticating for a little while. Ho states that he understood from Mrs. Cunningham, some months ago, that sho was en eiente, but he has never spoken one word on tbe subject on any occasion, in the murder trial and in. the case before the Surrogate he considered it a matter entirely independent of those otaes, and consequently mado io reference to it. It was a contingency which he thought it would be time enough to notice **hon it really came to pass. He has seen Mrs. r .aingham very littte during the last two or thr r onths, and not at all during the last month. 1L legal causes did not require him to sco her more during that time. He still im plicitly believes that she was married to Dr. Bur dell. The statement in one of the papers of yes terday, in regard to an arrangement having been made with him by Mrs. Cunningham, to pay him his counsel fee out of the estate, no declares to be entirely false; he does not do business on that plan. Mr. Clinton does not consider himself Mrs Cun ningham's counsel in the present cose; he will not, under any considerations, net as such; but as re gards the case before the Surrogate, having been committed to that, he will continue to act as coun sel for the claimant when suoh aettoa is required. If the statements which have appeared iu the pa pers in regard to the late criminal attempt of Mrs. Cunningham prove to be correct, Mr. Clinton says he will not act as counsel for Mrs. Cunniogham in any cause or causes under any inducement what ever. THE WATCH KEPT UPON HRS. CUNNIXaUAH. It has been surmised that the entire failure of Mrs. Cunningham’s schemes for the possession of the Burdell property, the debts in which she has become involved, ana the ridicule and exposure to which her recent acts have subjected her, might so far work upon her mind as to induce her to make an attempt upon her life. But this she could. not very well do. Captain Dilks has wisely pro vided against the possibility of any such occur rence transpiring, and night and day since the arrest officers have been constantly stationed in her bedroom to watch her movements. All means by which any such attempt could be made on her part have been placed out of her reach; oor ( is NOTICE TO COaRKtPO’TSENTI.

Playing at elections has now become the favorite pastime of all impoverished debauch ees, faded fops, discarded flunkeys, and used up, dandy litterateurs, who have influence enough to procure a brace of fools— one to propose, and tho other to second them, on the day of nomination. There was a time when it was a just reproach against the English aristocracy, that if there happened to be in the family a thorough bred fool, an arrant sneak, or a perfect imbecile, he was sale to be devoted to the Church. The same principle wouldnow seem to be acted upon in regard to tbe House of Commons. And no doubt it is the knowl edge of this that has encouraged all the varie ties of tbe “incompetent and improper” to aspire to the dignity of a British representa tive. A more signal instance of the preva lence of this pernicious notion in regard to the duties and qualifications of a member of Par liament, than the candidature of Mr. Thacke ray for the city of Oxford, it wou3d be impos sible to imagine. Mr. Thackeray has.been de feated; and erery man who believes thpMhere is any truth in politics, and that the reprase a-. tntive system is capable of being of any use to the people, must rejoice that Oxford has not sent this precious candidate—this compound of the cynic and the sybarite—to a house which is already overstocked with the dandies, dilet tanti, debauchees, and destroyers of the nation Of all the aspirants to parliamentary honors that we have ever heard tell of, this literary J Barnum—this censor of the dead and syco phant of the living—is the most preposterous and unfit. Mr. Thackeray is a gentleman of easy (political) virtue. He has no principles of his own, and will, therefore, do whatever his constituents may please to dictate. He will vote for an extension of the suffrage, al though he does uot expect any benefit to result from such a measure. He will vote for trien nial parliaments, although he is at a loss to see how the change could be productive of the slightest, advantage to the people. He will support the ballot, although he considers it a mean, sneaking, cowardly, dirty, and despica ble manner of voting! Verily, a most rare and accommodating candidate! After such a confession of faith on his part, is it a wonuir that wc should not regret his defeat ? Bis sue cessfui opponent, Mr. Cardwell, is an aristo crat and a Feelite—in our eyes, two very ob jectionable qualities. But he is also a man of intellect, who believes that there is something real in politics,—that legislation is capable of conferring blessings or curses on the commu nity, just as it huppens to be wise and benevo lent, or selfish and stupid, in its spirit. Now such a man, whatever be his creed, or on what ever side he ranges himself, is always to bo preferred to the sneering skeptic, who does not believe in the existence of any virtue; who, because he, himself, has travelled from tho Dan to the Beersbeba of human' dissipations, and found all barren, therefore pronounces that God is Action, man a miscreant, woman a de lusion, truth a dream, patriotism a pretence, virtue a sham, life a scramble, and sincerity a sign of silliness,—ifeyiwW London Awspapcr*
