It is now the policy of t' e Democratic! politicians and journalists to belittle the agitation at the South for the revival, un der the sauctions of law and public opin ion, of the African Slave-Trade with our ports, just as the same politicians would, ten years ago, have scouted as an aboli tion lie any suggestion that the Missouri Restriction would be one day attacked and overthrown. But in fact the Missou ri Restriction and our laws declaring the African Slave-Trade piracy rested on the same basis, and were upheld by the same line of argument, and the fall of the for mer renders that of the latter exceedingly probable. As to the popular sentiment in either case, there can bo no doubt that Hence we. are not surpri-od to find ,in The Southern Cultivator for August an e laborata argument in favor of re-opening the African Slave-Trade, by its editor, Dr. Daniel Leo, formerly a Whig in Buf falo and an American editor in Rochester, N.

And such a victory as tbe last, is that of Blanche Duboise's. Stern-faced Duty banishes the smiling face of Love. The conflict is over. Blanche takes up her pen to write to Gerard Cole. She dashes away the tears that will fall, lest they leave upon the pa per she rites on, tokens of the agony she feels. When fiui-hed it reads as follows: 'Gerard : I return to you your like ness and your letters. You will do tbe same with mine.

Mr. Duboise, unused to contradiction in matters of business, was somewhat as tonished at this retort. He looked Blanche in the face for a mo ment. He saw there a Aridity of pur pose 'which surprised bim. What could it mean! Usually Blauche had yielded to all his motives. Why not in thin case! Did she love anotber! He scouted the i dea, and yet felt that there was gome reason as yet uuknown to him that made Blanche so firmly settled in her obstinacy. I tell you that you must obey me.

He has come to receive her decision, having already obtained that of her father. The one wa favorable; the othor of course must be so too. Mr. Grey, I consent to be your wife.' Is it Blanche who hpeaks ? How chan ged in tone from the Blanche confronting her father and avowing her love for Ger ard Cole. Thanks, Blanche.' The cold man of the world could say no more. He may have read in her man ner much that made him wonder. But if so be did not express it. Like Mr. Du boise. love was to him talked of, but nev er felt. He married, for position noth ing else. In all tbe circle of his acquain tance there was no more eligible match than the ono about to be consummated. Had tbere been, a Blanche would not have been asked to be bis bride. She would bring him influence and wealth, and he cared little for the heart he trod upon in order to obtain it. In trutb, ho was a man after Mr. Duboise's own heart, and so the father reasoned a most ao- , saved the maiden from the the terrible death to which she seemed doomed. In a little time she recovered, and then her father sought her preserver and ask ed his name aud his reward. It was Gerard Cole. . His reward ? One month later, a new company assem bled beneath the roof that sheltered Blanche aud her father. There had been a now betrothal, and now there was a huppy bridal. Aud the one who stood by the side of Blanche was not Arthur Grey, but the nobody, the Mechanic, tho Fireman.' Gerard Cole. N. Y. Atlas. Corn Crops at the West. According to the Louisville Courier the preseutcrop of corn throughout Kentucky, Indianna, Illinois and Teuuessee, will be the largest ever grown. The planting rather late, but the summer has been un usually favorable, causing tbe crop to mature rapidly, with no danger of dam age by the early frost. The political campaign in Illinois, is growing very violent. Senator Trum bull recently charged that Mr. Douglas, before breaking with the Administration, was in conspiracy to forac slavery on Kansas, and Mr. Douglas, having pro nounced this false, Mr. Trumbull has re iterated tho charge. Personal feelings aro evidently becoming much inflamed. A queer genius being asked why ho did not attend the funeral of his wife replied "that he could not leave his shop and always that it was always better' to attend to ceptble son-in-law.

But when the bold step of opening free territory to Slavery was resolved on, tbe old apologies, tho old opiates, would no longer serve. It was necessary now to affirm that Slavery was cither a positive, unmixed good, or else an affair of climate and industrial adaptation, with no moral character whatever, but to be cherished or rejected in any State as local reasons should suggest. Now negro inferiority, negro subordination as a Divine ordinance negro development under tho rule and discipline of white owners and gravitation toward the lowest barbarism when, left to themselves, becamo necessary assump tions, without which the Nebraska policy could not logically defended. "Popular Sovereignty' the inalienable right of each community, each sovereign State, to make such 'laws as it should deem best was of course affirmed and built upon. So far, all went smoothly; but the fa tal necessity wherewith unbound though plausible promises tend to damagiug con clusions could not be evaded. At once, the earuet and ardent Pro-Slavery zeal ots, to whom the Presidential aspirauts had held out Popular Sovereignty as a bait, jumped at it with hearty zeal, aud began to make a uso of it uot designed by its author. "Yes," they said, 'let us have more Slave Territory; but let us also have more slaves to render that territory available. Let us havo Popular Sover eignty; but let this imply the right to bring new slaves from Africa into a Slave State as well as tho right to send our born slaves into the territories and pre pare them to become Slave States." What answer do the champions of the Nebras ka bill and tha Dred Scott decision make to this domand ? Or rather, what answer can they make that will not admit the rightfulness of fresh importations of slaves whenever any Statu shall see fit? We can immagiue none that is not either an assent, or a denial of the premises on which they rest their justification of the Nebraska bill. -! - ments of the civilized world since thev pronounced the trade in African negroes a crime, and affixed thereto the outlawing and death penalty awarded to pirates. It was assumed at the close of the Revo lution that laboring white men were bet ter than African, whether aves or free, to develop the agricultural resoarcs of tha whole continent, and that negroes were a curse to the country. It was in this spir it, at a time when twelve of the thirteen original States held slaves, that the fa mous Ordiuance of 17b7, introduced into the Continegtal Congress by Mr. Jeffer son, was passed, which tbe Free States of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois. Michigan and Wis consin have since been formed. Instead of allowing Southern planters to go into the markets of the world to purchase no gro laborers on the best terms they could find, the supply of these laborers was rudely cut off, as though to buy a slavo for agricultural purposes wc3 one of the worst of crimes This fanatical dictation has ever kept tbe supply of planting op eratives at tbe South far below what it would have been had this great iddustri al interest been wisely permitted tp regu late it operations by tbe just and natural laws of trade. By despotically setting aside these salutary laws of supply and demand, our tillage processes ha?e been carried on to great disadvantage: and one of-the most obvious effects has been a continuous effort to make tbe most of a comparatively little labor by extending it over too much surface of soil.'" There are three or four pages of tho Cultivator in this vein, but we need not quote them to show the.drift of the arti cle. We desire only to show that the purpose of re-opening the Slave-Trade is seriously entertained by a strong and rap idly increasing party at the Souths and that tbe arguments they use cannot be an swered without self conviction by any lo gical advocate of the Nebraska bill. Here is one more passage, with which we must cloe : 'If to buy or sell the labor of appren tices" for life is immoral, then it should bo at once discontinued; but it is not wrong, the ad vantages .to accrue therefrom should be not less available in Africa than ,in Virginia. The Slave Trade is either car ried altogether too far for. our credit and and interest, or not far enough to do any thing like ju-tice to our system of agricul tural industry. Either give it a fair chance to live, and prow with the com merce and influx of Europeans, or clso carry out the Anti-Slavery policy of tho fouudcrs of the Republic. The former i the wiser course of tho two; and it is one which is mo-it likely to prevail." , j If that be not as full of cogency n8Aan egg is of meat we are greatly mistak.cn How lonj can a majority be expected to hold out against it in a Slave State, and especially in a young, thinly-peopled, negro-buying Slave State ?
