BUFFNAGE FOR *II6 NEGRO. The want of capabit# of the negro race_ for suffrage or self government is well il- lustrated ig . the case of the Wand of Hay. ti. That country conttiins within itself, or is capable of producing in prodigal abun dance, nearly all that can minister to the 'necessities, _physical comforts or luxuries of man. Its -.soil is remarkably prolific, forests are yet tnagnifieent, its pastures are rich and excellent, its mountains on. taro - gold, silver .and iron, its harbors are safe and commodious, and its agreeable climate is celebrated for its peculiar salu brity, Bat what use have its negro in- habitants mad" of these remarkable ad• t vantages, placed by nature at their (lily*. sal t Since the capture_and imprison ment of Toussaint L'Overture by the French in 1812, when Dement's. first foil Imally asserted thp independence of TTayti, their existence has been one sickening record of riot, intrigue, bloOdshed. dissen- slots, revolution and warfare.

Mr: OWNS Ps/MDT, the munificent millionaire, in a recent speech in Bala- More, Md., at the Peabody Institute, which he has lately enriched with the donation of $500,000, declared in terms sufficiently explicit his position on the questions of the day.' We give that nor tion of his remarks which touch on this subject.' Bois sentiments are as noble' ss his generosity is princely : - "It is my hope and prayer that this In stitute .may not 'only have and fulfil a mission in the fields of science, of art., and of knowledge, but also one to-the hearts of men, teaching always of peace and good will, and especially that it may in some humble degree be instrumental in heal ing the wounds of -our beloved and com mon country, - and establishe' again - a happy - and harmonious Union—the only Union that can be preserved for coming ages, and the only one that is worth pr serving. And here I 'may well refer to a subject which, though of a personal nature, still has its bearings on what I have said. - I have been told 'leversl times that I have been accused of want of devo tion to the Union, and I . rake this occa sion to place myself right, for I have no apology, not a word of retraction to ut ter. L "Fellow-citizens, the Union of the States of America was one of the earliest objects of my childhood's reverence. For the independence of our country my father bore arms in some of the darkest Jays of the Revolution, and from him and from his example, I learned to love and honor the Union. Later in life I learned more fully its inestimable worth, perhaps more fully than moat have : done, for born and -edu cated in the-North, then living for nearly twenty years in the South, and thus learning in the best school the character and life of her people; finally, in the long residence abroad, being thrown into intimate contact with individuals of every section of our glorious land, I came, as do most Americans who live long in foreign lands, to love our.corintry as a whole,ito know and take pride in all ter sons as equally countremen—to know no North. no South, no East, no West. And so I wish publicly to strew that during the ter rible contest through which our nation bait passed, my sympathies were still and always with the Union ; that my uniform course tended to assist.-but never to in jure, the credit of the Government of the Union, and at the close of the war three fourths of all the property I possessed bad been invested in the United States Gov ernment and State securities, and remains so at this. ime. ''But none the less could I fail to feel charity for the South ; to remember that political opinion is far more a matter of birth and education than of calm and un biased reason and eober thought. Even you and I, my friends, bad we been born at the South, born to the feelings, beliefs, `and perhaps prejudices of nubile men, might have taken the same cOorses which was adopted by the Som,h, and; have cast in our lot with those who fought, as all must admit,'so bravely for what they be lieved to be their rights. Neveg, howev er during the war or since, have I per mitted the contest, or any passions engen ,dered by it to interfere with the social relations and warm friendships which I had formed for a very large number of the people of the South. "I blame, and I shall always, the insti gators of the strife and Sowers of dissen sion, both at the North and at tho South. • I believe, %Lab wool:obeli alight' hew° bean avoided by mutual conciliation. But after the great struggle had actually commenced, Leonid Bee no hope for -the glorious future of' Ameries, 'save in the success of the armies of the Union, and in reviewing the whole course, there is noth ing which I could change if I would, nor which I would change if I could: And now, after the lapse of these eventful years, I am more deeplyimore earnestly. more painfully convinced than 'ever, of our need of mutual forbearance and con ciliation, of Christian charity and forgive ness, of united effort to bind np the fresh and broken wounds of the nation."

BeSlNZSs.—.Sitlee the election is passed, the idea of impeaching the President seems to be less the rage than during the canvas.. The grand aim, 'preceding the eleetioo,ivas to excite the people with the idea that the President had been guilty of some 'thigh crime or misdemeanor" punishable under the Con. stitution with deposition from 'office. But all this was simply a trick—a means by which_ to arouse the passions of the Radicals and excite their resentment. It is now known that the next Congress swill be strong enough to carry any meas nre the extremists may desire, by a two. thirds vote over the President's veto, and hence theie is less urgency to get rid of him. Under existing . circumstances, many Of the Republican papers, have 're , cently taken ground against-pushing the impeachment business at present. Some of them frankly cmfess that_ whilst - the President has not stuck by the Radicals, as was his duty, he has committed no act rendering him liable to impeachment. TEM DOLLY OD BONDHOLMOIII.

At the same time all other seetaitim maintain theirprieer, Austria included, which are deemed more worthy of conflience than those of the American republic . The consequence -of the de cline in- American securities in Europe will. in due course of time. be a corres ponding depression in the States, coup. led with a depreciation in the currency, and a constvent rise in the price of gold. And all this is the result of the blustering vaporing of the Radical party, their con stant reiterations, of threats of war with Great Baitain, and thdi evident detemdiation to pr event any moneiliagm of the adman par ties i re Me States. BLxcs the announcement by telegraph, a few days since, that General Sherman approves of, what is popularly known u the President's policy of reconstruction, we have received a hundred papers in which he Is atignudised as a "copper head," and a great variety of charges not leas terrible than' this are- brought against him.

Wno -- tan f—Thenewspapers recently recorded the fact that a Massachusetts manufacturing company has just declared a dividend of one hundred per cent, on a_ year's profits,• after reserving surplus enough - to, enlarge and improve their mill. Another important fact; bearing upon this point, is the announcement of a woolen manufacturer in the same State, that before the war it cost him $3 SO to make a yard of cloth which he sold foi $4, and that now he sells at $8 - per yard what only cost him $4 to produce. These manufacturers make goods for the mil lion, and their enormous profits account', in some measure, for the present extraor dinary price of the fabrics used by_ the mama. In the face of this .state - of things, the Radicals of New England are loudly clamoring for more protection, and want a higher tariff solely as a means of increasing their profits. A few days ago, Mr. WALDO BRIGKAN, the leader of the.

On the 31st of October the reiresents tires •of Vermont, composed mainly of Radicals, voted this preamble and resain• tion down, gam declaring the amend meat not a conditicni of Union, and adopt ed one declaring the ten States oat of the Union, and that they should not enter the Union except on the condition of uni versal suffra • e IT is a great mistake, often indulged in, in this country, to suppose monarchies, or aristocracies, or oligarchies are always born, and not as often created under the. forms of law.
