But the fellow sneaked off, "and suffered the plunderer to carry away his prize without even endeavouring to stop him." ABOLITION OF SLAVERY. From the St. Louis Enquirer. It is certain that the Republic may extinguish Slavery, in ail her dominions, on just and equitable turns, if she is disposed to do so. The. number of slaves within her limits, do not cxceed 1,200,000. The females hut half that number; their average value not mere thr n 200; their total value but about li20 millions. The republic owns east of the Mississippi 160 millions of acres of public land,; west of it 1100 millions; total 1250 millions. At two dollars an acre, it would require but 60 millions of these acres purchase all the female slaves in the United States, and the purchase and liberation of the females would accomplish the object: the children following the condition of the mother, would be free by birth; the existing race of males would be free by death; and slarv itstlf would be cxtioL uished w ith the extinction of tho present gr nera'ioii. To give effect to a plan of emancijiafion ii these prihciplcs. a law of (.mi. gt tss should be pussed to assess the alu of female filavt; to fix the me at which they shoul i become fire; ai d to give a certificate uf the jss sstd hlur to the different owners. The ctrtitu&len -should be rcceivajble in payment of all public Ihiols. Iii lore going into operation the law fdiouljtl he submitted to a convention. uf thoc iitercBted in each ol tho slave holding btat'is. If adopted by ti e majority of the it Invention in any state, the law should go i nto operation throughout that stat rl he practit abih'.'y of this jdsn admits of cay demonstration. It propose d by Cjongrrss it would hardly he icjected by slave holding states. -Justice, safety, Iiiterest, would combine to make them adopt it. Seme would ote for it because they (would fee! the injustice of deny ing lihifi ty to a human heii g when it would be granted without bjuy to themselves; ot I.'t rs beennse tt'cy would bewilliigto avert from their posteiity the desfdating horrors of a servile war; others because thej would see iu the b;.rgain proposed, the; exchange of a perishable property, of ;in uncertain increase, for an imperishable estate which wa ld continue to rise in value as hng as lib i--ty and prosperity should continue to bej protected in this frea and happy laud. Nor would the Republic find its weal'h diminished. The land bestowed would bo covered by freemen, and cultivated by patriot hand. It would becwree tho means of augmenting the true wealth and power ef the Republic, by increasti g the number of those who would be able to pay taxes and bear arms for its support, and ready te lay downUhtir lives when the service of their country should demand it. ! HOWARD. QUERY TO STATESMEN. From the IVuthiiigton City Quzette. "How are. the national concerns of France directed, and what are her resources; that, with a population of about three times that of the United States, she should have been able, in so short a period, after oe of the longest ami most oppiessive wars that over a nation ws scourged ttith to pay all the expenses of her civil list, army, navy, and 1.500,000 000 francs fabiut 300.000,000 dollars o h r allies, for putting dowu Napoleon and Setting Louis on the throne?
