Tbo Reporter seems to think that a course of policy by which wo should strike haDds with the Free Traders and the Slave Power and sacrifice New England, would have secured our peculiar interests. We think far otherwise. To protect one iutcrcst and not another, was loudly declaimed against by leading Democrats, from 1844 to 1S4G, and would be unjust in principle. The different interests must combine, in order to thrive. The Free Traders only need to have the friends of an American System divided, and they can whecdlo, cajole, and finally saerifice them all, one after another. What could Pennsylvania do for Protec tion, without the aid of New England ? The Fortune Teller. A fresh, young, budding girl, trembling with emotion, evidently laboring under great distress of mind,was once introduced by tho servant into the study of Madam Lpnortnand, a Parisian fortune-teller. "0, madam !" exclaimed the girl, "you who read tho future, come to my help." Madam Lcnoruiund looked intently for Colonizing Central America this way. The people, in this way, have not to serve half a century of probation in semi barbarism. They begin with schools and churches, and you will see what the effect is upon communities that are so es tablished. , But I will speak now of that which con stitutes the peculiar strength of emigra tion of this kind ; and that is, Me profit of the thing.

It does good everywhere. It does evil nowhere. Sir, you can not resist a power like this. A good man often feels regret when he knows that by promoting a good cause be is at the same time sacrificing his own means of doing good, and is becoming weaker and weaker every day. It is a great drawback upon beneficent enterpri ses, even upon philanthropic and Chris tian enterprises, that the men who sustain them are in some respects lessening their own means of doing good by it.

To call one great interest "national," and another "sectional," sounds too much like doogh faced arguments or the slave holders' whip cracks. Cotton and wool are aa "national" as coal and iron, and in reality have more needed the fostering care of government in former days,if they do not still. New England saw herself sacrificed by tbe stupidity of Pennsylvania in 1844 and '46, and some of those who wonld have been faithful to us to the last if we had been faithful to ourselves, have acted on the Reporter' t principle,and gone for themselves regardless of our State. This course, whether pursued by one or another State or States, is fatal to Protec tion. There must be union of all the friends of Free American. Labor against the advocates of lo& Foreign or Slave La bor, or tbe former will be at tbo mercy of the latter.

SSome of our exchanges are publish ing the cards of certain New Yorkers very keen but astonishingly benevolent gentle men who offer an exceedingly good lot of gold pencils and chains for a very little money.

The "two dollar" gold pens are worth,possibly, one dollar. The gold chains,"worth 515," arc worth about 5 cts each, retail whole sale, 2 cts. We presume their other jew elry is worth in proportion.

An evening at borne, how is it to be found ? First look at tbe calls for publio and social meetings, read and an nounced in the churches on the Sabbath, and advertised by moral and literary and benevolent associations, and what evening is left for a quiet communion with your own family, or to make a social call upon a friend ? Some kind of amusement is announced for every evening. During tho day, the father is away at tho store or office, the mother has her work, and the children are at school, but in tbe evening there is a meeting to call the family out. There is much truth,with a slight oolor ing of exaggeration, in tbo anecdote,given in a late number of Harper's Magszine,of a gentleman who had failed in business, and, when asked what be intended to do, replied, "I shall remain at home awhile, and get acquainted icith my family." We beliove that this constant drawing away from home and home infiucncc,has a demoralizing tendency, and that it is time Christians should inquire whether one rea son why they do not grow moro rapidly in grace and knowledge, is not that tbey are ever hearing new discourses upon now subjects, aud not meditating upon what lbv hear ever running from meeting, and never at borne. Is there not great danger that home influences will lose their charm when we come there only to eat and sleep, offering, indeed, tho morning and evening prayer, but nover remaining with the household in the secret communion and precious instructions, that were always found in the days agonc, when tbey spent some Evenings at Home? "Tho best mode of teaching children," says an old writer, "is at the fireside, when all arc gathered together, and when the mild re straint of home influences is thrownaround all." merchandizing. It is estimated that there are 204,0C1 stores in the United States, giving one storo to every 123 inhabitants. This gives rather an ugly picture of tbo crowded state of this branch of business. It is evidently overdone, and there can be no surprise ex pressed at tbe disordered state of financial matters under these circumstances. All of these stores lose a greater or less per centage by tbe credit system, amounting in the aggregate to many millions of dol lars, producing the most serious conse quences in tho commercial community. It would certainly be better for the interests of the country, as well as the personal in. tcrcsts of the storekeepers, if thexo would be but half the number of stores, doing a safe cash business, and the other half of the merchants were engaged in agriculture. The great fault with our people is that too many rush from the country into the towns, all wishing to engago in trade, to the neglect of a branch of industry of far more benefit to tbo country. The result is that whilo agriculture is neglected, a large number of tbe storekeepers break whenever wc please. Then, sir, there a grclt mistake to suppose that a good can be no doubt about the power of this : cause can only be sustained by the life- agency, which, 1 tell you, is too ngni one for us to make use of in getting Cen tral America if we want it, or in Ameri canizing Central America, as we are sure to do. Now, Mr. Chairman, I have said noth ing about "annexing" Central America to ,as. vot.d states, myseit, A cars nothing about it, and I do not know whe ther the people of this country are ready for that proposition yet I think, howev er, they would rather annex a thousand square lesgues of territory than to loso a single square foot To be sure, sir, we have a few men in the North who honest ly bate this Union. I will not criticise their views. They bsve a right to cher ish just what views tbey please in relation to this question. Sir, there are still a larger number of sour and disappointed politicians, who, though they do not pro fess hatred to this Union, do, to a certain extent, profess indifference as to its con tinuance. Hut the great and overwhelm ing majority of the people of tbe North, sir, as a unit, are determined that no force, internal or external, shall ever wrest from tbe jurisdiction of tbe United States a single square foot of our territory, unless it first be baptized in blood and fire. That j is the sentiment of the great majority of the people of tbe North that no portion of the territory of this Government shall ever be released from our possession. We understand that this Union is a partner ship for life, and that tbe bonds that bold us together can not by any fatuity be sun dered until this great Government is first extinguished and its power annihilated. That, sir, is our sentiment about the Uni on, and such may be the present senti ment about annexation. I have no doubt we will have Central America in this Gov ernment, and all between this and Cen tral America also. Well, sir, we have now come to the grand missionary age of the world, in which wc do not send out preachers alone, but with the preachers we send the school, we send tbe mecbanio and the farmer ; we send all that makes up great and flourish ing communities ; wo send the powers that build cities ; we send steam-engines, sir, which are the greatest apostles of lib erty that this country bas ever seen. That is the modern kind of missionary emigra tion, and it has wonderful power on this continent, and is destined to have on the world, too, for it is just as good against one kind of evil as another; and it can just as well bo exerted against idol wor ship in Hindostan and China, as against oppression and despotism in Central America. But wo take the countries that aro nearest, first ; and now we propose to use this mighty power in originating a nation in quick time for Central America. Wo read of a time when "a nation shall be born in a day." I think it may be done in some such way as this. By this nicth od of emigration the pioneer does not go into the wilderness blood of its friends. But when a man can do a magnanimous act, when he can do a decidedly good thing, and at the same time make money by it, all bis faculties are in harmony ! You do not need any great argument to induce men to take asMJ boaitiun. if - sou can. only .induce them to believe that such is the effect. Well, sir, such is tbe effect ; and now let us apply it to the people of Central Amer ica. What reason will tbey have to com plain, if we send among them our colonics, organized in this way with their sub-soil plows, their crow-bars, their hoes, their shovels and their garden seeds ? What reason will they have to complain? Why, the fact is, that, unless our civilization is superior to theirs, the effort would, in the beeinnioe. be a failure : it never can go into Slaves States oftentimes turn . tbe only ones which can famish emigra slaveholders, and outdo the Southern meo ' tion that would be of any eotseqaence to themselves. have vo Joult that they '' Central America.

It could not be otherwise. Talk about our Yankees, who go to Central America, be coming slaveholders ! Why, sir, we can bny a negro power, in a steam-engine, for ten dollars, and we can clothe and feed that power for one year for five dollars ; and are we the men to give $1,000 for an African slave, and $150 a year to feed and clothe him? No, sir.

He ean not whittle in the . theirs ; we plant that or none. It is im possible for an inferior civilization to pre vail except by violence, and it is almost impossible to do it in that way. Well, air, if we give them a better civ ilization, the tendency of that civilization is to increase the value of real estate ; fur the value of property, tbe valuo of real es tate, depends upon the character of tbe men who live upon the land, as well as upon the number of men who live upon it. We cither make an absolute failure in this thing, aud do not trouble them at all, or we give them a better civilization, and, in addition to that, we givo them wealth. Thus, sir, with bands of steel we bind the people of Central America to us and to our interests, by going among them in this way ; and they can not have reason to comnlain. nor will tbev complain. If wc had approached them in this way two years ago, without this miserable meddle some method, induced and warranted, or supposed to be warranted, by the neutral ity laws, wo would have filled Central America to overflowing by this time, and would have bad with us the blessings of every native citizen in that portion of country.

We must have some outlet for our overwhelm ing population. Necessity knows no law ; and if we ean not have Central America, we must have tbe Indian Territory ; we must, have something ; we are not exhaus ted in our power of emigration ; we are worse off than we were before tbe opening ! of Kansas. Not otic-half of our natural increase has been exhausted in colonizing that Territory, and furnishing people for Oregon and Washington.
