Should this course bo pursued, the Sooth may wait till Cuba and Central America, like ripened peaches, fall into her Jap; but, othr erwise, in a. few years slavery will have disappeared from" Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, and crowded in: to more Southern territory; and as those States become Free Soil; so may the now border Slates apprehend d like result', the supremacy of . Free SoUisra in their territory. ■ , Similar views arc prevailing throughout tho extreme Southern States. Vet the plan suggested _ is impracticable. Those who haVe slaves to sell, will take them where there is a' demand for them. TIio prohibition of tho inter-State slave trade is impossible, and the process of the encroachments of free soil must become more rapid and manifest with tho lapse of lime.

Jesse D. Bright was in Indianapolis on Monday; stopped ft the Falser House, trying (q cxplaip the reasons of hU'fsilnre to fulfill hundreds of bjaunredeemed pledges to his deluded and betrayed adherents.. He has purchased the elegant residence of George 0. Washington, on Georgetown Heights, near Washington, where he ,will make his future residence, while clniming.to be Senator from Indiana.—The Rockport Dtmocral deals him some very severe blows. It say?; • This vary distinguished political charlatan is just now;endeavoring to crush os politically, because wo refuse to bow down and worship him. Wo understand that be has bought up the Jackdaw of the Vovay News, and last week tho beautiful trio opened upon us with a perfect shower of “grape and canister.” We say to Jesse D. Bright and all his villainous tools, that I we defy them. It is just as easy for “Dodgcr”'Bright to spend his ill gotten gains by baying up such pliant knaves as Schenck of the Jfevs and Hooding Spencer county with bis weak editorials, as in any way, and to in, who are the subject of his vile, calumnies, if is highly amusing. When the people relied that this man Bright lay around the. State Capital all Idst winter, layipg his ropes to. crush Governor Wright, whileat tho same time ho was pocketing eight dollar* a day of government money, and that after making a solemn- pledge'to Gov. Wright, to recommend himto a Cabinet appointment, he meanly and villainously opposed the Governor's, ’claim before, the President, tliey will proper)y appreciate bis maghahimops labpnrin attempting to crash so humble an individual as ourself.

Attempt to Fleece a Parmer. How • TKB- Law ■ is' Used to Fbiohteh People.— In September last, a fellow from this city, who’, represented ■, himself aa a ; butcher poreflasinff cst|l4 agreed'* 0 buy a horse from aTsrmcrin Switzerland emm* ty, Ind. ' Howas 1 opay S 1 fiOforlha an• . nial, and r not" to Ukepoososiion of him until he made 'tbo; first-payment.- P® two uoles, and a few days after borrowed- tho.boreefor a few days, ; It appears be brought the animal la thisxily, and sold him to a man Burned Lewis for $06.. . A few dujra after the farmer being - in this city; discovered his borao and demanded him a? stolen property. T*w>« agreed logivo him up, provided {he far - mcr would make affidavit oycusing the . pepon who hadiaket\ the horse of hprsowhich was readily done, the farmer in addition paying Lewis $50, It seems-;thatrlfter this, Lewis:divovofed that-the* fanner- held; two notes against the .alleged horsc;tbief, and.he conceived thoTdoa of reedveripg morevnfoney from him. He procured : a writ, charging the farmer with. peijnry, and having a warrant issued, secured *• arequisition from" the Governor ,‘of Ohio Tor the farmer, . charged .with being a fugitive froirt J"!; tlce. Ibis requisition was plaited in the hands of one Vahaosdal, a retired police - officer, who was. to act as agent for the ' State. ' Last' Prhlay thoTarmcr was ,ar- ’ at hiy home in Vcvay,'and: brought to this city- a prisoner. He happened to meet Attorney Pen.dery : on the-steamer which brought him to. this city, and - at' once secured hia' services. ■ Saturday morning the farmer was taken before Eaquire Chldfey. ■ He expressed’ himself ready to proceed at once with - the investigation of the:charge [against' him; The prosecution', 1» waver,' asked. a ‘delay.— They , stated > that they did not wish to blast (he character of the man by pnrsu? ing of charge of such a heinous character .againstbim, and thought.if tirno was qlf lowed a comprothite might • ho’ effected.— The farmer's attorneys declared their, unwillingness to compromise in. kny shape or form; and demanded a speedy hearing. Sometime was spent in conversation, when the prosecution; asked the privilege of consulting with tlie fanner privately, a few This wasi agreed to, and thefarmer proceeded totho street with the opposition? A few minutes after. His at-, torneys looked after him, r and could ' find him no where. He had; been spirited away I ' After scarehiug. fomelime they found him lodged in jail. .. Vanaosdal, Ibe. State agent, bad token the responsibility of. taking • him put of - the custody, of the magistrate, Jand. committing him to prison. ’ fHis; aUorneysTmincdiately got out a writnf habeas corpus. ,~W' ; . "When the Sheriff went ip serve this; ho found that Vanaosdal bad’ removed the fanner.: from prison, and 2 taken. him bo did not know where. Another:''writ .of habeas corpus -was proenred/ordering, the Sheriff to toko the toad wherever found; and after aTong search, the ■ fanner: was discovered in. Csquirb CIridsey'a office, where his persccutOri }>ad token him and brought another charge against him. The Sheriff] took him from their custody; and what, was further done we have not learned. We have . no 'doobt.hut the design of the parlies was to. frighten a large amount of money out of the farmer.- At notime did they intend prosecuting him,'for; they, had no groundwork, for. such a’ prosecntioo, but hoped to frighten'him, and-tbna get from him a large amount in the shape of a compromise. It seems to ns’that the conduct of all concerned, including that of the, lawyers for the prosecution, is'criminal under our laws, and that they should to indicted by the propet authorities. It is a case that at least demands the attention of the Prosecuting Attorney of the county,— Cincinnati Timet. - * The farmer alluded to above is Mr. Eli Schoonover, of this place. Tbo facts as ffTtnes, are,believed to be in the main correct. The course pursued by the Cinoiimatt parties is disreputable in the highest degree, and the penitentiary or county-jail is good enough for any of them. Wo hope that justice will be meted out to them by the proper authorities at Cincinnati.

WAsniKcrox, May 7, 1857. Sir: In answering your inquiries in relation to the biddings for tho Washington aqueduct, I have only to say there ought to bo but ono rule, and that is, to assign the work to the lowest bidder, provided ho bo responsible and able to give the necessary security. This >s in accordance with the practice of the Government ,—will secure the greatest economy in the public expenditure—and cannot fail to prove satisfactory to the bidders themselves. Any other rule would produce much dissatisfaction with the conduct of the Department. Yours, very respectfully, James Bochanak. / Hon. Jons B. Floyd, Secretary of War.
