From 1846 to, 1849 the number of slaves re

:thatilte privations -Ind hard labor-of the , ne--
greee in Cuba rapidly destroy them, and that
their owners pursue a system based on the idea
that they can buy negrees at atheaper rite than

cruelty,. and • barbarism characterizes their
mode of treating their slaves which is in keep

the African olive trade itself, and all its at
'fondant teorrors: • • '
'lt must be a matter of surprise to many that,
notwithstanding the great risks encountered
by those whe - engage in the slave trade—the
'not ruilkecinent capture and loss of their ves
aele~ to
esy nothing of the, murderous nature
'of the traffic—so many men should be found
Willing to engage in it. The solution of this
I niystgri Is' to be haunt in the extraordinary
.profits It .yields. , The Industrial system of
Cuha,'ltifwe 'have shown; creates a constant
demand for aloves, and they are readily Sold
for an averoge price of MO: It is Supposed
that at I,ntet ,forty slavers are"constantly ern
ploYed in this brudness, which average two
voyages each per yeor, and, in the aggregate,
take to Cobs about 40,000 'slaves. The ex

This is the glittering bait whieh, in defiance

into the presecntion of the slave trade. And

dency."Putting aside all the antionated , objets
tions to Presidential stump-speaking; which, like
other fossils, must give way to living eiigenoles,
and keeping in view the fact that the Federal
power has deprived him, in too many oases, of
newspaper organs, and that many of our public,
men have beau debauched and demoralized by
Administration money - Mid : corrupt expectations,
his whole deportment,and every one of hie speeches
@Mullis nomination at Baltimore,. will render him
an example. upon which the. historian will dwell
with surprise. ,It must not be forgotten that this
Man has had to contend against the Administra
tion Ja Atte Senate of the United States almost
single-handed, and that in his great struggle for
re-election is Illinois, in 1858, he encountered the
double sinter:chin of Mr. Buchanan's stipendaries
, and of the Republican party to boot. The soots!
'lnfluences of - Washington were arrayed against
him, see far as the President and his Cabinet
could wield them. , Co-operating, for a period,
against the -Administration with the Republicans
on the Lecompton and English bills, be was
forced, u he advanced upon his theory, to '
which the Republicans aro now hostile, to separate
from them ; and so again to renew the contest for
principle with.the Administration forces, and the
solid columns of the Republicans against him. All
the officials of Administration, therefore, run
ning through the almost unlimited list of place-
Men, and of those who expected place, extending
themselves into every State and Territory of the
Union, and every phase of the general opposition
to the Democratic party itself, was emendated,
by interest and -by prejudice, in a common move
ment to prevent his nomination for the kresidency.

pars the logic of his position drove him into a
general denunciation of the Republicans; the
capital of the great cities, and, in moat eases, the
vast monopolies, were all on the adverse side.•
And yet, in the face of these disadvantages , this
unarm Yes An. not only vindicated himself; but
has conquered anounnatton for the Presidency,
ai d is to-day the foremost statesman in America.
1: appeal to the reader of this correspondence to
say whether, in view of these facts, it is not a libel
to say that the American people are unfit for self
government—whether, after all, there is not an ir
resistible and wholesome foundation at the base of
all parties, and whether Judge Douglas has not
sine his contest with the Administration, entiticj
himself to the gratitude of his countrymen? A
nubile 'charioter, battiOularly one so positive as
Douglae,ls nearly all the time like a man in the
pillory,-.an object of safe attack and criticism.
Douglas has 'baffled all his adversaries. Ile de
feated the Administration and its hordes at Charles
ton and Baltitimie; never yielding a tithe of the
principle to which be was committed in order to
secure the nomination. After the Baltimore Con
vention he threw himself into the free States, and
contended against the Disunionist' of the North, re
fusing combination with all patties opposed to his
platform. Instead of going to the Northwest, he
attacked the prejudices - of New England, and
throwing behind.him the Customs of the , past,
placed himself upcM the stump, and everywhere
dillolosed his real opinions upon the living- issues
of the day. lie argued against the intervention
dootrined of the Republicans, and called' upon the
people to place themselves upon the comtion con
stitutional platform. At the very moment that the
fire-eaters of the South asserted that Judge Don-
AIRS would not dare to advocate his peculiar creed
in the Southern States, he announced his de
termination to speak in Virginia, and, with
a Napoleonio rapidity and resolution, be
moved upon the "Old Dominion," and at Norfolk,
'on a certain recent memorabladay, grappled with
Southern sectionalism in the boldest and most
sigaideent manner- Not only did he exhibit the
same promptitude and courage in his assaults
upon the sectionalism of the South that-distin
guished hie attacks upon the Disunioniste of the
North, but at Norfolk, in the face Of a tumultuous
and suspicions crowd, he declared the great prin
ciple that, If Abraham Lincoln was elected Presi
dent of the United States; the South would have no
cause for a' meet to secession unless Mr. Libeeln
committed an overt act upon the Constitution and
the rights of the slave States. From Norfolk he
passed on: to other towns in Virginia and North
Carolina, and as I write, after his great speeches
at Richmond std Staunton, Virginia, he la ex
pected by his faintly in Washington, where be
will rest for a day_ Or two before resuming his
great campaign in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Whatever the Opposition party may say of tho
Course of Douglas in the put, thereto not au honest
mark, even in that organisation; who will not con.
template without 'admiration his wonderful war
against his opponents of every hue. The very
charge, pertly and patently made, that he cannot
be. elected to the= Presidency; is' an unoonsolous
argument Watt's is disinterested. Those who say
he' has bion'veorshipping the fire-eatera of the
South have only to recollect that, in the midst of
the fire.eatere he - declared his determination to
sustain Abraham Lincoln, if elected President of
the United States; 11E11.081 Mr. Lincoln committed
an overt act upon . 'the Constitution and the rights
of the States.' Those whe declare that be is oonrt
ing the Republicans have only to recollect that, In
the strongholds of the Republicans be attacked
their unfortunate doctrine of Intervention for the
prohibition, of slavery in the Territories, Thoie
who assert that he isopposed to the interests of
Pennsylvania, have only to recollect the noble
epee% of his friend, Col. Richardson, at Burling
ton, New Jersey, and his own significant counsels,
that there were other great interests to take care
of in the Congress of the United States than those
of the slaVe States. Those who charge him with
being ambitious have only to recollect that he has
trampled every proposition for coalition with men
differing from him in sentiment indignantly under
foot.
Before such an example se this, it seems to - me'
that every other example falls' into contempt.
Prejudices must give way, and the honest man, to
whatever party-he may have attached himself,
meet forget the bitterness of the pest, and pay a
frank and generous tribute to the great tribune of
the ".people. I hope, most glumly, that when
Judge Douglas makes his triumphal entry into
Pennsylvania there will be no more question as to
a straight Douglas electoral ticket, and that men
like Mr. Welsh, the chairman of the fusion State
Central Committee, will be overwhelmed by a
popular demand for ouch a ticket as will act in
concert with the glorious leader of the National
Democracy, Stephen A. Douglas. As he is to
speak st Harrisburg first, it is to be hoped that
from that plus will proceed a straight electoral
ticket, so that Judge Douglas will be enabled to
talk from his bold and honest text without being
(unshed by the consciousness that his friends in
Pennsylvania have not followed the example of his
friends in other States. • OCCASIONAL.

IWAeutitirrett, Sept. 2,1860
Great indignation is felt by all personal friends
of Col. Theresa B. Florence, whether pro or anti-
Mingles, on account of. the most contemptible
treatment he has• received at the hands of Mr.
Buchanan's officials at Fbiladelphis. PoStmuter
Browne told a gentleman that Collector Baker'had
conversed with Mtn In regard to the Colonel's re
nomin ation, arid that he bad tried to persuade
Min (Browne) to use his influence against Florence,
on the plea that he had been long enough in Con
gress. Baker had also censured the Colonel be
cause he stayed at Washington so 'long, and did
not oomo to Philadelphia. Both had finally agreed
to support another gentleman, whose political po
sition to the 'Administration is enshrouded with
mystery,
Bo much is certain, that the Colonel has bean
slaughtered by Buohanan's office-holders. Mr. I.
8., true to his long•oherished principle, to kick
his warmest friends after he has been using them,
has added another to the heoalomb of the goddess
of Ingratitude. No man has worked harder for
his' Administration than Thomas B. Florence.
Though not inclined to make long political
speeches, be wee ever ready in the halls of Con
gress, to look for the despatch of business in the
Moues, being one of the few really working mom•
here. Whenever en appropriation bill was to be
passed, it was Tom Florence who put himself in
the harness for the purpose of carrying it through,
and succeeded, in most oases, in inducing the Re
publicans to vote for it, as he was, even amongst
them,, very much liked on account of his always
cheerful and sooial qualities.
Aa useful-as he was to his party ho was to his
oouetituents. Baying always wooer for the Elution.
in& or those who were in need of Congressional
legislation, or had some business to be performed
in come of the departments, he had more to attend
to than any other member. ' But not only did he
work, but he spent also his money for his friends,
so that now, after having bean ten years in Con•
green, he is really poorer titan when he was elected
the first time. No matter what his opponents may
have to say in regard to his political course, those
who know him must join with his friends in can
tossing that Thomas B. Florence is really a good
and honest man.
It cannot be , believed that Mr. Buohanan's
officiate would have dared to work against the re
nomination of Colonel riotous), if they had not
bean certain that the President wished it. The
excuse, that they did so because the Colonel did not
come home to work for himself, is the more base and
heartless, as they well knew that he was the most
time, since the adjournment of Congress, elok and
disabled 7 If well, he was in the committee-room,
working for the party of which Meseta. Browne and
Baker receive their daily bread. Some statements
in the newspapers that the Colonel will run as an
independent candidate are entirely untrue. '
The nomination of his opponent having been
regular, he will he the last man to oppose it. Ido
not know what he himself thinks of the treatment
he has received; but this I am positive of, that all
his friends, and they are very numerous—in feet,
he having no enemy except In the Administration
ranks—are enraged. Be is tho last of Mr. flu
chanan's friends in Pennsylvania.
P. B. It is motored on the Avenue to day that .
Colonel Florence is going to resrgn his seat on
the second session of the present Congress, leaving
the decaying Administration of Mr. Buchanan
without a single friend In that body. Ho will ar
ply his energies to the perfection and circulation
of his Review, hoping that , thereby he will be en
abled to do more good to himself than has been the
ease during hie connection with the great Pennsyl
vanian. lie may calculate upon with certainly,
that if he cuts loose from J. 8., the people of Penn
sylvania will not forget him. KAPPA. •

The position and prospects of theatricals in this

the last, 'Snethen'a " Grist American Opera Com
pany" will perform. We have already given , our
opinion upon this company. Mica Milner is a'
prim donna with a line voice, a good figure, and
handsome features. Except that she sometimes
makes grimaces when she vocalizes, her 'singing
may, be called very good. - But she is the only
thorough singer in the troupe. Mr. Cook has a
good voice, but his execution is unoortain. Mr,
Bowler is only a middling tenor. Not one of the
company exaept Mr. Boudinot walks the stage, or
does anything like' a properly-instruoted motor,
They seem to think that it is sufficient for them to
sing. Mr. IL C. Cooper, the leader of the or.
aheatra, is a violinist whom it is a real pleasure to
heat. , Hie solo accompaniment of his wife's (Miss
Milner's) charming singing, is such a treat as a
lover, of music would go a long way to hear. We
think this company make a decided mistake in
playing such operas as " Euorezia Borgia," " Nor
ma," and the " Trovatore," which the public' so
often hear, in the original, 'at the Academy of
Moyle. Real English operas, which are rarely
performed here, would be more appropriate, and,
we venture to affirm, more attractive. The at
tendance during the week has been good, and the
house, newly done up, looks gay and neat. " Nor
ma" will be performed to•nigbt,

withstanding the distraction's of political meetings,
which seduce play goers away from amusement to
wire-drawing and ptpo.laying. The attraction

Mr. Wheatley. This evening, Mr. and Mrs..J. W.
Florence commence a star engagement here, and
will appear in three of their own especial dramas,
written for "the Irish Boy" and " the 'Yankee
Gal." They have Just concluded a remarkably
succeseful season at Wallack'a Theatre, iu New

prised the world by appearing, without an ap
proach to failure, In several of the paiticular
charalters which the late W. E. Burton was sup.
poserflo have made his own. Mr. Florence must
not leave town without allowing our pnbllo to see

PEOPLE'S MEETING IN TEE SITE WARD
•
A large Lincoln, Hamlin, and Curtin flag was
raised in Arch street, below Second on f3aturday
evening.: •
A commodious stand was erected in the street,
and a muss meeting was held. The People's Cam
paign Club, the Sixth Ward Club, and the Conti
nentals, marched in large numbers to the meeting.
with their uniforms and Orates. The windows of
the adjoining houses were crowded with ladles wit
nessing the procession and the beautiful display of
fireworks.
Shortly after eight o'clock the meeting was Or.
Mined by calling to the chair Mr. Alexander J
Derbyshire,
and a number of vice president, who
introduced the Hon. E Joy Morris.
Mr. Morris believed that be knew something of
the interests of the people of this district from hie
baying been so long in co-operation with them.
And your intermits, fellow-eitisens, are those of the
whole country. In the first place, this is an votive
commercial community. You sell to the South,
and you dieperse the peed:wits of your .own Manu
facture. Your Representative should be a man of
national views, otherwise you will be misrepre
sented. I believe that every Representative from
Pennsylvania and Philadelphia should be true to
the cause of protection to home industry. [Ap
plause J The laboring man should never have it
to Up that ho is out of work, or that be is starving.
['Applause
Old Abraham Lincoln; from first to last , has al
ways been a protective tariff man, [applause, I as
are ell the followers of Henry Clay. [Cheers J
challenge any man to point to any act of his that
will show that he over was anything else than a
protedtive man. (Applause ] No man like Abra
ham Lincoln eau be anything else then a friend of
the Union. [Applause ] [Hero the speaker was
interrupted by the appearance of the Sixth ward
Club, which marched down Arch street. accompa
nied by I bandof tousle and shooting rockets, /to
lie then proceeded : There is no disunionist rally
ing under our flag—not . one-Malebo is willing to
exert himself in the preservation of this glorious
Union.' Embarked as we rre in the contest, -what
should we do? Are we to be repelled from our line
of duty ? We behold before us one of the most cor
rupt Administrations that ever disgraced a civilized
Government If you want prOof, read the report
of the Covode Committee. Men have been paid
for duties which they never; performdd. Money
has been given to edit party papers, and thus your
public funds have bean mouldered away. The
great evil of the day is political corruption in the
Government, and you are milled upon as patriots to
rally and bring about a much desired change. Let
us stand by the Constitution—let us staled by the
Union—and this Government shall be rid of those
men who have abused it while in power.- ,
Let us not forget, then, that if this Government
is to stand, it can only be made to do so by rester
ing it to its 'original purity. And who is better
calculated to do this than Abraham Lincoln, of
Illinois? jApplatue.l No man bas ever yet been
found to oast a shadow on the integrity of this man.
In his own State he taireli knobs as ' 1 Honest Old
Abe." [Cheers:] If we place Abraham Lincoln
throwing the election into the Honed. Heaven fac
to the Presidential chair, it will not be by
bid ! We most do, it ourselves, There is no risk
in voting for Abraham Lincoln, but there is risk
in throwing the election into the Rouse of Repre
sentatives Then let us determine that the battle
shell be decided by the people.
The speaker concluded by promising three cheers
for Mr. Lincoln and the whole ticket. They were
given with a " will." . , •
Mr William Moran was next introduced, and
made the followinteremarks in substance :
I am bare to•night, Ant, for . the election of Abra;
ham Lincoln, and , secondly, for the election of
Andrew Curtin. lam also here for tine election of
one who has fought for the cause bravely—lallude,
-reilow citizens. to our friend, B. Joy Morris. rAp.
please.] Tokik back to his early hister and - you
will see that-tbs arse entbr00,,,,,..de him seu
for the protection of American labor [ A pplause ]
Where is the man who can say that he ever was
disloyal to the Union ? No man can ever say so
inept at the cost of his own reputation.
The speaker then alluded at length to the con
duct pursued by Mr. Morris, In the thirty•slxth
Congress, during-the long strong for the Speaker
ship. He stands, as be has ever stood, against the
opening of the African slave trade ; he stands by
the Union and the preservation of these States.
In 001301113101 h the speaker stalled upon those
present to stand by Mr. Morris in Ootober, and Be
mire for him a triumphant election.
Mr. George Gordon was next introduced, and
read a aeries ofresointions. The last of them was
as follows :
Resolved. That the Union is as see now as it eve r
was—and a lath more . 80-111306 the Phledeeleeibe

elate that we are now, as ever. for the en r ion a igi far
the Constitution as we understand it, and for the faith
ful execution of the law., ens also for the execution of
all llaunioniiti.
The resolutions were received with load ap
plause. and unanimously adopted.
Mr. J. Barclay Harding was then introduced to
the meeting. He hoped that the people would now
go to work in earnest, as the time was drawing
near when they-were to determine whether they
I would any longer submit to the corruptions of a
foul Administration. This was the day in which
rail had come into season, and he wanted them all
not only to shoot rail, but to split rails. [Laughter.]
When we shall be encoesefol, ae I hope we will,
mace more winnows() and prosperity reign through.
ont this glotious land.
Mr. John hi. Kennedy was next introduced. The
speaker thought that all rational-minded men could
not fear for the safety of this Union. It was only
timid men and children who were impressed eith
snob an idea.
We have Mr Bell before us as a candidate for
the Presidency. Now the man who votes for him
might as well vote for me. as no result eon possi
bly be delisted. But while I claim that every
man has a right to act for himself, I still have the
right to claim of him to recognise the duty of vot
ing right, as well as a right to vote.
The speaker alluded in strong terms to the rep.
resentatives of the Democratic party going to New
York ,for the purpose of raising rends in order to
defeat the Republioan party in this State.
He wanted, to see the accumulation of gold an
silver in this aountry, and not so much of paper
money- 'The cause of this enmity was " free
train," held up by the?people of the South, who
are anxious that-the North should sot increase too
rapidly in wealth and population. At the close
of his a neeob Mr. Kennedy was warmly applauded.
Mr. Newport-was then introduced He believed
in brevity, and ,therefore small not dotal* them
long. It was written in the book of fats thst
Abraham Lincoln would bo the next President of
the United States. [Applause ] Ido not know of
any argument more frequently urged against oar
party than that we are not conservative The
man who says that the Republican party is in fa•
vor of interfering with the constitutional rights of
the people of the South, utters what be must
know to be a deliberate falsehood. We find one of
most eminent Bell men in Kentucky admitting
that Mr. Linooln 15 conservative, and, that if oleo'•
ed, his administration will be national and con
servative. Thomas Jefferson drew up the first pro
test against slavery in the Territories, and Wash
ington signed it; end were they not conservative?
• Do we understand the great responsibility rest
ing upon us? Webers a work to do. and we must
do it. We must go at it with vigor, and elect the
men who have been placed before us. Where are
the men of 18511 to-day? I defy any man to show
me one who la not battling under the banner of
"Old Abe." Now, gentlemen, we have nothing to
do with the past, but lot us look to the future and
stand hand in hand in support of " Honest Old
Abe."
The speaker conoluded by proposing three cheers
for the whole local, States, and national ticket.
The next speaker was Mr 1.l Fittibr, of Towa.
He was pleased to pee the same feeling among the
pieoplahero as * own era Wes fn his own Ireho
neyed that the Inauguration of Lincoln and Ham
lin would Inaugurate the principles of Washing
ton and Jefferson. In , his State the people went
for a tariff, and be was glad to see the Keystone
State" in favor of the same. He believed that his
own State was with Pennsylvania in everything,
and all that now remains is for them to unite end
place " Honest Old Abe" !lithe Presidential chair.
'Cheers
The meeting coo after adjourned with cheers for
Lincoln, Hamlin, and Outfit
At the clod° of the meeting, the Sixth-ward Le
gion, with the Continentals and CaMpaign Clubs,
marched MThe residence of Joy Monk and
paid him the Oompllment of a serenade. It was
the intention of the Clubs to visit the house of
Philip S. White, but the hour being late the pro

Mr. John 11. Jerked, of New Jersey, was first in

baa taken piece bereMforkr. Our eeudtay eel/tains
now three times as much area as there was at the
close of the Revolution. Territories were &gaited
by the common blood of the people, and therefore
belonged to a Common people. Strange as it , may.
seem, there is 'now a party seaming the pit:un-.'
pie that no State desiring slarery Amid enter
thisllnioir. What is the reason for this? The one
given is, that the balance of the Territories should
be left to free labor, for the purpose of developing
agriculture. Me argued that this was unjust and
unfair.
The law of nature has decided that these Terri
tories should be free. It is impossible' to make
them slave States, because one-half of the year
there is winter, and no daveholder could support
his staves by their working one-half of the has.
[At this time the remarks of the gentleman were
interrupted by the arrival of the "Minute Men,"
headed hi a band of mobs. They numbered seve
ral hundreds.]
The excitement was immenea—cheer after cheer
was given for John Bell and Edward Everett.
After some time had elapsed. Judge King said
that as several eminent speakers from other States
were present, and as he could be heard bereaftu,
he would conclude his remarks.
Hon. J. It. Hallam, of Kentucky. was then an
nounced, and Goma:teased by saying that be was
glad to speak to so large a number of the citizens
of Philadelphia. It gave evidence that Kentucky
and Pennsylvania had a common interest at stake.
He was n national man, and had always been snob.
We are not to look to men, but to principles; we
are to defeat the party which is dangerous to the
perpetuity of the Union. The principle that, the,
people in the' erritories should settle the question
of slavery be considered merely as an abstrae
. tion. The two prominent candidates for President
were Abraham Lincoln, who was nominated by
only one section of this country, and John Bell,
who was nominated by a Convention represented
by all the States' of the Confederacy. If there
ever was a national party, it was the Union party.
The cry of the Republican party In the North was,
that If Lincoln was elected the South would go for
a die/lotion of the Union.
This, he said, was an error, for if he was condi•
tutlonally elected they would acquiesce. Hi at ,
geed that there was no way , in which the Conte
deraoy could be diesolved Kentucky had led the
Union movement by sleeting a Umon men by a
heavy mnfority. The people of that State want
to hear from the great State of Pennsylvania in
October. The speaker retired amidst great ap.
please.
Henry H. Puller was the next and last speaker.
Ilia remarks were principally devoted to showing
that Bell and Everett, though they did not start
out with a platform,likeother parties,had as good,
if not a better " chance," than either of the other
candidates.
While Mr. Italian' was speaking. another meet !
lug was organized on the opposite side of Doek
street. above Second, where E C. Pechin spoke,
who pitched into Seward and the Republican' very
severely.
About half put 10 o'clock, thamsellnifidjotOrnid
