I. THE u-ur. Jeff" lul 0,, XWU DOLLARS fX AXNFM. IN ADVANCE. PAUL SEYMOUR, COMMUNICATIONS.

The" FMwirtM-N' 1 am still disposed to make extracts from Jude Underwoods Address on Coloniza-con8 He vs, "Take the tables of population of the 'different Stales, as exhibited at our different federal enumeration consider extent of territory of the aeveial State, their ase, and their progress in improve, menu of every kind, and I think the unprejudiced mind will be compelled to admit that the non-alavebolding States are entitled to pre-eminence. It cannot, in the nature of Thines be otherwise; because labor is honor, able" and the mass of die people work in uien'on-a'aveholding Siatw; whereas, labor is not looked upon as honorable, and a large DOrtlOn 01 SlorliUiueia wsaa will not work in the slaveholding State. The free laborer, knowing that he will en-joy the products of his labor, endeavors to inake it as pioductive as possible. He there-fore works in propei tiite, does his work well, and does a great deal of it. Whereas, the slave, knowing that his earnings are the disposal of a master, who will enjoy ne greater share, works out of season, slights Lis work, and does as little as pons ble.

If he the stripes of the overseer, it is he ares for. The coneuenoe is, that the mater meets with endless growing out of the manner in which the slave performs the allotted task. The master freti, and his ill temper is too often rented in cruelty upon the slave; who, in return, cherishes the deepest hatred, ready to burst forth in vengeance, henever it can be with impunity. Owing to the great, tt skill and diligence of freemen, their labor will yield, in a day, month, or year, more than the labor of the same number of slaves, during the same space of title. The consequence is, that the non-slaveholding Sates undersell the slaveholding States; and likewise furnish a variety of articles for sale, which sre not manufactured in the slave-holding States.

This operates upon the slaveholding States as an enormous tax, continually draining them of then specie and valuable products to pay for articles which with U3, out of derision, have been called "Yankee Xotions." Immense sums have been transferred to 'ew England from this Sate for "Yankee Clocks." Thes things are creditable to the industry and enterprise of free laborers. They prove, beyond all doubt, that the non-lavebolding will forever, in proportion to their population. possess more wealth than slaveholding Slates. Wealth commands the stores of comfort and tha fountain! of knowledge. The land of New York, containing 46,000 squaie-ruiles, is worth more than all the negroes end land of Virginia put together, although her territory contains square miles." pp.

12, 13. If these views are in accordance with facts there is an appalling disparity between tie free, and the slave States. And is there a man in Kentucky who can call in question the statements of Senator Underwood? Were they not true when first made in 1832, and have not developments of every subsequent year confirmed their tnrh? Do not the signs of die times indicate that the free States have the pre-eminence, and that they will ever have it? Is Kentucky oanpellsd to admit, humiliating as the admission is, that she is tributary to the free States'' She depends, in a great degree, on tie fabrics of the free States to clothe her population eren her slares. It is probable that four-fifths of the boots and shoes worn in Kentucky are manu "actured in free States. What a singular fact it is that enterprising New Englandera make the shoos that protect the feet of Kentucky negroes from the cold of winter! This circumstance, if serious considerations were not connected with it, might well excite the risibility of the nation.

Kentucky dependent on Mas-sachusetts' and so dependent that it is almost optional with the citizens of th latter State to say whether those of the former shall hav clothes to wear or shoes to put on! How ruinous is the system cf slavery, ex. tracting, asjt does, the elements of independence and self-subsistence from die Commonwealths in which it is allowed to exist! Will not Kentucky sre her true intr-resu? ASotTTfiEB KeSTTTCHAW. Decembee 15th, 1847. To the Editors of the Examiner: uisTLtMEx As the time is near at Land when it is expected a Convention will be called, to change the Constitution of the State of Kentucky, and as the slave question will be one of the most important, that will be agitated in that body, I propose to suggest a few reasons to show tha necessity and advantages of adopting a free system of ow, instead ot our present system to do wis it will be necessary to show some of toe disadvantages of slavery: its unproduc tiveness, this can be very strik. ingly illustrated by a comparison of the effects and results of the free labor of Ohio, and the slave labor of Kentucky, in its dif ferent Drenches.

At present I will present ome facts, as shown by the ceasus, as to the oi the two States Value of various manufactured metals in Ohio, do.

From these tables it is indisputable that Ohio far excels Kentucky in manufacturing but why? it is not because of her location, or soil, or climate, but because her laborers sre free thty receive the profits of their skill, industry, i-nd good management. Give Ohio all her present advantngesand as many more if you please; but introduce slave instead of free-labor, say to her artisans and mechanics, the only reward you can, or shall receive from the products of your labor will be a plain subsistence; and at once all progress, all uuprovemimt ceases, and the now busy hum of machinery will rapidly decline.

The profit of labor is the natural stimulant to industry and exertion and the denial of it in Kentucky, and tlio grunting of it in Ohio, to the laborer, is the cause of the superiority of the latter over the former but enough for the preaent. Gates River. The two following communication! sre Mat to by female friends. They ar fall of beautiful sentiment naturally expressed, though written unpracticed writers: Cheistia Love. A Christian should pursue a rteady, consistent course of piety, and strive to be humble, watchful, and holy loving arid dofog good to all.

Mov. ing onward with an intrepid, firm step to that haven of rest which is prepared for the upright in heart. How important then, that those ho have espoused, the cause of Christ should be careful to avoid all appearance of evil! How many followers of Christ do we see from day to day, who excite many a fear that they are strangers to convertdg grace! heir harsh and selfish ways are more cal culated to provoke and disgust, than to win the affections of those with whom they as. sociate. 1 he Christian love should be shown by attending to the thousand little of fices of kindness which may promote the happiness and comfoitof others.

"Be piti- I ft ui, be courteous, me Apostle says, "be indly affectionate to one another, with holy ovc, in honor preferring one another in low. iness of mind let each esteem others bet ter than himself. If this were the case among Christians at the present day, how different the state of the Churches would and I might say of the world. I have been pained to see so much selfishness amongst the different denominations of this place to see so little of that charity that our Saviour speaks of in those that have rofessed to the world that they were born God "God is Love." "By this you may know that you have passed from death un to life, because we love the brethren." How different would this beautiful world be that God has given to us, if Christians would ive as they are commanded; and now calm and peaceful would their lives! The air would breathe new odors, and the balmy cales bring refreshinir dews from heaven- and the Christian life would be envied by those who know not the love of God. We should hear it said of them: "Behold how these brethren love one another!" Ho ovely and calm the life of a devoted Chris tian? How pleasantly they elide alone in the world? The sorrows and trials of life give way to peace and calmness, and the thought of being liberated I root sin and death lifts the soul up to nature's God, to bask in eternal love.

cits a ihouchts. there is a sorrow heavier than that felt by one whotie love lies buried- an achine void that knows no sym pathy. In youth when life is cne happy spring-time, the pleasures of love can allure us ana woman, formed lit love, then may drink deep at the fountain. But, alas, for the uncertainty of earthly happlns Time hastens on, her heart first object still reigns supreme; but a wish hat grown witn ner a i a ess ove a deep abidinr wish plar.ted by uod own hand who will heartlessly at its existence who Mush to conf iss it Have you not felt a longing to hold close to your heart a tendril ot yourself 7 in the long night have you not started to lunen for the cry you heard in your dream 7 Think of the tune to come far off from you now, lor you are still fresh in years when cold aire will come to you; and it may be that the hand of death has fallen upon your hope, your only one The loved one may have passed away, and dream only remain of the happy times gone by. Then yod may well droop if there be not one green shoot from the blighted stem and your eye dimmed by tears for there is no reflection of your past light, poor manner, to shed a beam upon the dark wave that overwhelms you.

How little we poor mortals enjoy of what is truly life's happiness. "Pass on, pass on," should be the motto of all roe n. Even the perfection of great aims is forgotten in the rapidity of their execution, and many exclaim, "shall I spend years that I may accomplish this or that?" Thia is often said in respect to music, upon whose pleasuron too lew are willing to bestow a few hours ol lilc. 1 perfect oneself docs indeed tns. a life-time.

Bat bow is that spent? Thit soul must be devoid of feeling that finds no sweetness even in simple strains from sjd, LOUISVILLE, unpracticed voice: then how delightful. when, though it be by years of toil, you have once mastered the laws of harmony, and become alive to the wonderoui expression of sounds; to feel the touching influence of those thrilling notes; to give yourself up with passionate impulse, and wander away to ft land of dreams, mace for you by acme master hand in song. Tha wonderful pow er of instrumental music, the command of what appears almost impossibility, If worthy of all admiration; but tha voice its tones fall upon the hear tlike refreshing dews from Heaven. Always when i dream of music, I hear sweet songs, and I never look upon a lovely woman, without wishing to bear her When she tells me she cannot, and complainingly says, "Oh, the yeart of practice; I think with regret of those many hours of fife past in idleness, which, if giv. en to music would pay us in grateful enjoyment, that would serve to smooth the rough paths of life.

And that cry has been now echoed and r-echoed by such a unbars that It has began to be obeyed.

But when wo haie learned Elliot'a history, we will not wonder at his occasional sins sgainst a perfect taste, but only wonder that bo has been chosen as tha sub ject of such rval inspiration. Lpeoexer Lillet was ons ot eight children, and the aon of a clerk in the Iron Worka of Mas- borough, whose salary was 70 a year. We hsvs ao complete biography of tie pt but Wra.

Of th other, Th Villag Patriarch is by far th beat.

Enoch Wray ia a familiar aad beautiful character; a hale, hearty old man who has koowa England and the poorest of her sons for many years. A quiet, plain-thinking old man, who tells many bard and unwelcome trutha about English misrule. A man whose life has had many episodes of joy and sorrow, but over whoa existence sorrow has borne th greater swsy. Poor old man! Would to God, had not lived to seo Hannah hung! They had nnrofed her cottage and bid her go to th work-house. And when ah would have roofed it again, Ezra Whit saw her; caught her by tha throat till her eye upturned and her tongue protruded through retracing lips that caught Sad hue from coming death." But her idiot daughter, Jane, smote him in the forehead with a atone, and ho died.

Then came the brief trial, and last the fatal scene. Aad poor Enoch, tho blind old pi Igrim, was there, and alon of all that throng around tho scaffold, crept up and clasped her hand ere she parted for her long, long journey. God bless thee, Enoch Wray! God grant that there may be better days ia store for they that cane after thee! Some of Rhinvalt'a soliloqnva in "Bothwel!" are elegant specimens of composition. The first of these is probably the best among them. Indeed the whole fragment ia mere eminently poetical than any wriliag which we hav seen from Elliot.

Th Splendid Village is a fin production, but contains rather too much of the fierceness and ardour that Elliot, like every other man who ia using his every energy In behalf of a single idea or iatention, always displays when he draw ia pictures of peasant-life.

I ho necessary brevity of this notice will allow us to add but little to what we have already said about this great master. His poems bear a macb greater rep- atatioa and ar more generally read in England than ia this country. Indeed, according to mt, Griawold, he is as great a favorite ia hia own country as any of his cotemporaries, and takes his rank among th first living poeta of Log-land.

Taylor will make it a most interesting and valuable sheet in- dependent but not neairal (we despise a neutral paper from our heart, and so does every honest and earnest man.) and that, as a literary and tamiiy paper, it will be fully equal to the best of the kind, East or West. c1 tj. Such papers are much needed in the est, and, conducted by such men, in such a spirit, will do great good, and to what high- er reward can an editor aspire!

Some suppose that the negroes in the Islands, if released from the bonds of slavery, can only be kept quiet and orderly by the presence of a military force.

The Editor of the Albany Erenmg Journal, who recently pent some time in the Islands of Su Thomas and St. Croil, controverts this assumption. The Danish force on these blands consist of two companies one on each, triers are two forts on St. Croix, one at 1 redenckstadt, the residence of the Governor General, with two ofEcers, and 70 men, tho other at Chritianstadt, with a Lieotenant and 30 pl oirrfvi.l. ,1 men.

There are 24,000 slaves on this island, and 5,000 whites. The colored population are quiet, easily governed, and many of them, even slaves, reasonably well oti .11 1 informed.
