?The Secret Ballot Law paaaed the Hoaaa on
Wednesday by a vote of 174 to 13j The law
provides that tbe ballota of voters be placed ia
envelopes before being deposited in tbe box, and
has been the aubject of mach discussion of late
in our Maasachasctts exchanges. This law had
previously phased the Senate.
The Fugitive- Wlave l.aw.
The i-reat battle of thi? generation, be?
tween Freedom and Slavery, has been
f light, lad won by tho9e who from 1846
to lr.^O resolutely upheld, during all the
fierce conflicts of th is* years, the Wi'mot
Proviso. The contest, on the Proviso se?
cured our Mexican Territories to Freedom.
In this great result we behold its gl irious
reward. We may, therefore, in the main,
be content with the fruits of that erntest.
Had it not been for the agitation upon the
Mibiect of Slavery, and the powerful de?
monstration of the Free States, slaves
would now be washing the golden sands of
California, and barren New-Mexico her?
self would be bowing in still more hopeless
sterility before the withering tread of Afri?
can servitude. But, thanks to the indo?
mitable spirit of freedom io the North, the
future millions who are to inhabit the vast
valleys of the Gila, the Colorado, the San
.loaijuin, and Sacramento, have the un?
speakable boon of liberty for their inheri?
tance. This i-i the animating spectacle
presented to our ga/.e as we survey the
field whereon have fought for years the
champions of Free Soil. In this rich har?
vest true friends of liberty everywhere
share, and may rejoice in its abundance.
They may well regard it with a proud
satisfaction, and repose in tranquility over
v. bat is thus achieved for the cause of Hu?
manity.
Hut the otlensive lees of the agitation I
from ubichall this has resulted, is now
held to the nostrils of the successful party
in the contest, in the form of the Fugitive
fedave Law. As in the dispensation of
Providence, unmixed good is seldom the
lot even of those upon whom earthly bless?
ings are most abundantly showered, so we
should not wonder that the share of good
which has fallen to the adversaries of Sla?
very, in this contest, should be dashed with
an unwelcome admixture. But it would
be the bight of ingraditude, as well as the
hight of stolidity, to fail to recogni/.e and
enjoy what we have of good in our existing
circumstances, because all is not good. The
Devil was in Paradise.
We are not of those who are cut to the
quick by the operation of the Fugitive
Slave Law. It is wicked enough no doubt.
But we precipitate ourselves into no tu?
mult of passionate objurgation over its nat?
ural operation of successfully returning a
slave to his servitude. We rejoice in the
escape of a human being from Slavery.?
We lament his seizure and return to band?
age. But we preserve the expression of
our profoundeat emotions upon the subject
of Slavery, for the seasons of our contem?
plation of the monster iniquity, as its gi?
gantic proportions rise to view in the shape
of the three millions of our fellow country?
men, who daily rise in the morning and lie
down at night under the lash of the task?
master. It is painful to behold a single
individual in Slavery; bat a thousand
times more bitter, infinitely more poignant
to the retlectlve mind, is the thought of
that stupendous aggregate of wrjng suf?
fered by the millions who hopelessly toil
in the cotton fields and rice swamps of the
South.
In the triumphant march of the cause
of freedom finally marked by the signal
events alluded to we tiud the liveliest sat?
isfaction. That cause had suriered no se?
rious interruption in ita career iboagh as?
sailed at every step by open foes and
treacherous friends. Its course has been
steadily forward, its conquests unequivo?
cal and glorious. The operation of the
Fugitive Slave law is but the picking off
of here and there a straggler by the enemy.
But while even this los? is to be deplored,
we can hardly regard it otherwise than as
an inevitable evil. The very act of mov?
ing squadrons through an ei.emy s country
involves the necessity of loss. The m^st
fortucate and successful battali ns do not
come out of a contest unscathed. Let us
count our gams, and consider, but not mag?
nify, our losses.
The violent agitations of the time upon
the Law will cease, and comparative trao
quilit) be restored, while the rich bleasing*
secured by the friends of Freedo m, in tbe
late contest with Slavery, will glow with
an ever increaairg Inure, and develop
from age to age in an ever increasing mag?
nitude.
The Law of 1*00 must tun out to be an
inoperative enactment, l?deed, i. is prac?
tically nullified already. wh?n i; cuts, ai
in the case of Sims, five thousands dollars
to catch and return a single runaway. Bat
if if is to be anjtbicg but a self-nullifying
act, Ijing dead on the Statute B>,k. its re?
peal, or essential m ?diricarion, is inevita?
ble. Its one hideous feature, giving to a
creature of the Government, called a "C ?m
mWonar." the authority to c nuign a Free
man to Slavery, is too intolerable to be
borne in any long course of practical en?
forcement. The Trial fcy Jury, in every
case involving Personal Liberty, is too pre?
cious to be surrendered at the desire or the
dictate of any Administration, or any sec?
tion of the Confederacy : and the demand
of such trial in the case of alleged fagirives.
is, moreover, too reasonable to be refused
by any Congress which shall approach this
subject ia a spirit of just regard, we will
not say to the fundamental rights, of the
citi/en, but to his well-established an i in?
dubitable constitutional privileges.
Thus it is we entertain no doubt that the
question of resistance to this law, now so
rife, end so di?tre*eing to all manner oi
cattle that feed at the troughs of trade and
the Treasury. BO alarming to aldermanic
sensibilities and quilted velvet patriotism
in general, and the came of eo many lugu?
brious jeremiads and inane platitudes
from gentlemen in high stations and in
|i w. who think their political or piAUn;ary
fortunes depend up >n sus'a^ning it in all
l its parts and to \h? '.'allest extent; will,
after merging in more substantial issues,
soon fade entirelv from sigh .
In Mr. Clay's elaborate treatment of the
subjects embraced by the ' 'mttibus," he
entered into this question of trial by jury,
and true to his own instincts, and alive to
what he felr to be the reasonable demand
I of every clear seeing man jealous of liber?
ty, he acknowledged thit the c'aim of a
trial by juiy for every person arrested was
most reasonable. And with his accustomed
adroitness he proposed to grant so much to
the advocates of freedom. But he insisted
that that trial should be in the State from
which the fugitive was alleged to have
lied, and riot fa the State in which he was
arrested. 'I o this extent, Mr. Clay, to be
consistent with himself, must even now be
willing to go. It may be that he has see
enough to convince him that it would be
be best now to yield to a demand for such
a modification of the law as would secure
such a trial at the point of arrest.
Impressed with these views and senti?
ments, we are content patiently to await the
course of event* Wa confide in the claim*
of truth, justice and propriety, which
sooner or later make their own way in the
world, and triumph over all obstacles great
and small. Before those claims names are
nothing?men am nothing. Where Mr.
Clay is, or where Mr. Webster is, on great
questions involving the constitutional rights
of the citizen, or the fundamental rights of
man, is a matter that concerns them and
their reputation far more than the cau*e
itself, or anything or anybody else. It is
not within human power, at this day, long
to successfully resist the right and main?
tain the wrong. As well might a man
attempt to gather the rushing waters of a
river as it pours its llood through its deep?
est channels, as undertake to arrest and
confine the great current of events whose
springs are in tbe human heart and whose
streams forever swell the tide of human
progress. Blind partisanship, interested
advocacy, selfish and rotten support of
public measures, mark this age as they
have all ages. For them we of course
have no respect, and we entertain no fear
that they can sensibly defer the hour of
jubilee, which assuredly awaits the op?
pressed of all nations. Truth is mighty and
will prevail.
Iseniecrary aad ita t rille?.
Mr. Xavier Makmiek. a gentleman of
aristocratic tastes, came to this country
immediately after the February revolu?
tion, disgusted with the introduction of
Democracy into France, and determined
to investigate its practical results in Ame?
rica. He has published his book in Paris,
but from a long review of it in the Jour
nal des Dtbats we fear that M. Marmiar
ha- aot done the amplest justice to the
merits of his subject. The Democracy of
the I'nited States he detests from the bot?
tom of his heart, all the more because
France seens destined to imitate its insti?
tutions; and he finds nothing to admire
but the relics of French occupation and
French population in Canada and Loui?
siana. He repeats all Mrs. Tru'lope's cri?
ticisms, only intensifying their force, show?
ing up our, faults without mercy indeed,
and sometimes with considerable point.
He is struck by the egotism of our people,
the coarse neglect of others, the imperti?
nent vanity, the greed of gain, the lust of
appropriation and monopoly which he re
j gards as our striking characteristics. At
j table he finds us perfect hogs, and hisje
' scription of what he saw on a North Ri
| ver steamboat seems to justify the iuig
, ment from his point of view. Thepjra
; mids of meat, butter and vegetables which
tbe passengers piled up on their plate*,
first of all; and then the religious and
even freoried devotion with which they
set to work demolishing and devouriag
these monstrous structures?each con.-'irw
! inflaming, and being inflamed by, the zeal '
of all the rest?strur-k the traveler wifh
an unprecedented ifisyat. and left him
in ?bort little else than a rebel against the |
Pre?id-ntial tendencies which are estab?
lishing Democracy throughout the earth.
We have no doubt that our go ?j Xavier
saw many u*Iy tights among us, aid eu
c uctered various afiliecive experience*,
but it is none the less e'ear that Xivier's
judgment on these things is wholly unwor?
thy of any reasonable man's attention.?
Acc>rdirg to his own showing, he saw
L"thing Wuraa among us than very grosa
derelictiuns of conventionalism. He does
cot attempt to prove that thsre is less ha- ,
manity in our population than elsewhere,
or less charity when any real car! for it is
made. He simply proves the existence of
a very frequent indifference to the pre?
cepts of Karopean etiquette among our
male population especially, aud lavishes
the sincerest pity on our women that they
are obliged to marry such barbarians.?
But the traveler should have recollected
that he came in contact on our steamboats
with the masses of the people?those masses
who, at home, never travel, but live and die
in the same dingy and dirty hovel which
gave them and their progenitors birth.
Were some beneficent divinity just now
to diff use a sudden comfort over the land of
France equal to that which reigns here, en?
abling parents to give their children as
thorough a rudimental education as that en
j.*y td by any Prince of the blood, and
prompting the child himself to aspire after
every human dignity and advantage, would
M. Marmier expect the emancipated peas?
ant to put on at Dice the manners of the Tuil
leries ! Should he meet ? party of them in
the railroad or on tbe steamboat, stripped
of the shabby blouse and the shapeless
sabots, which had been the immemorial dis?
grace of their ancestry, and going forth in
comely broadcloth and decent calfskin to
adjust their business relations in distant
! cities, would not VI, Marmier be asto ished
if he f..und in them any close approach to
the manners of the conventional gentleman?
Certai ly he would. Why then does he
setup such a piteous yelping over the pre?
cisely corresponding phenomenon in this
coutitry ? "' he bulk of his fellow travel?
ers in the railroad and the steamboat were
exactly of this class?tha offspring of those
whom the institutions of t-urope would
have left forever poor and degraded, but
whom our benign Democracy is lifting
surely though of course gradually, into
a destiny so sublime that the royalest
King that ever sat on the throne of France
might well place his dearest honor in
having been a " nursing mother" to it.
It was doubtless hard for our expatriated
Xavier to unlearn the vanities of his own
little world, especially as that little world
bad now spal itaelf prettt effectually push?
ed into the past, and come all at once into
genial rapport with the great world of God
and man. But our indigenous critics who
delight t<> talk as Xavier does, have not
tbe same excuse. Tbey are destitute even
of that political pride which furnishes ar.
once the cheap inspiration and the obvious
excuse of Ins malignity ; and in decrying
the<r own national promise, they plainly
confess thmselves at least unwortby their
unparalleled birthright.
We do not deny any amount of conven?
tional uneouthness among the, masses of
our population. Bat we do deny any sub?
stantial baseness among them. On the
contrary, we are persuaded that these very
rudenesses which we hear so much aboat,
in many cases grow out of that sentiment
of human fellowship or unity, which will
ere lung.be the recognized basis of all virtue.
The two worst experiences we hava had
at home were as follows: OlOi on a
North River steamboat we observed a
well-kaown citizen, Mr. H. H., emerging
from the cabin aftar breakfast with a cigar
which he had just lighted. He had no
sooner reached the forward deck than a
light was requested by a plain couutry
man, to whom accordingly he handed over
his cigar. The cigar was unhappily not
very well lighted, and the countryman
??or.sequer.tly, in order to bring it to a bet?
ter glow, incontinently put it into his own
mouth, whence, after giving it a couple of
vigorous pull's, and then applying it to his
own expectant Havana, be gratefully re?
turned it to Mr. H. H. The latter looked
stupified, as you may suppose, but observ?
ing a perfectly good conscience on the part
of the other, he courtewusly received the
cigar, and waiting till the couutryman's
back was turned, threw it overboard.
The other case occurred at the Astor
House. We were seated at dinner table
next a person frum Connecticut, who called
for a plate of corned-beef, and greatly dis?
liking, as he said, the tat with which it
was garnished, very coolly applied for per?
mission to transfer the n txioaa inoum
brance to our plate. We begged him, of
course to make his trouble known to the
waiter, who was there expressly tor his
accomtiK sJation. but we acquitted htm at the
same time of the slightert consciousness of
cisrespect toward us. In both these cases
in fact it was entirely evident that the
parties sinned only from the excess of fel?
low feeling, and that they dii nothing
more than they would willingly have done
unto tbtm.
Tbe two worst experiences we ever en
ci uttered abroad, occurred in France.?
We chared the r<.u/<e of a diligence one
winter's right from Pans 11 Havre wita
a French gentleman of manifest high
breedirg, whom from the number of friends
taking leave of him at the office, and the
conversatioa that pa?eed between them,
we supposed to be someway distinguished.
The night was bitter cold, bat we had not
got out of the barriers before our com?
panion lighted his cigar, and aimply
asking us whether we would take one,
kept the eoupt in surh a smother of
smoke at intervals daring the entire night,
that we were glad t) purchase relief even
at the risk of a severe cold, by letting d )wn
the glass. We said to ourselves, this man
?o doubt stands very well with L?u;s
Philippe and his Court, bat it will be a
long time before his name is announced
at the Court of Heaven, unless he mends
his manners. Our other experience was
the repeared vision of the most offensive
' natural operations going on under the light
l of a brilliant noon-day sun. at the edge of the
sidewalk on the boulerarJs in Paris, fre?
quented by throngs of f<x>t-passengers and
by the gay est equipages of the capital, and
jet apparently provoking no interference
of the police.
It may argue an uncultivated taste in uat
but we cannot help feeling that these
French experiences of ours compare very
badly in point of true refinement, or true
humar.itary feeling, with anything oar
friend \a\ier lets down against America!

The Havtiaa ?>?:. %:i.?n.
Tbe endeavor is ofren made to mis?
lead the people of :h;9 country with re?
spect toHeyti, and it is even proposed to
get up an expedition OB private account to
go out and eooqaer the island, teach ifs
people agriculture, and no doubt, extend to
them the blessings of pa-risrcbal insfim
tions generally. This is too absurd to be
put forth anywhere where common sense
is not wanting, but for the benefit of the
tools who may entertain auch a project,
we will recall a few facts.
Hayfi, when she had only half her pres?
ent population, was too strong for the
splendid army sent against h< r by Napo?
leon, with a distinguished soluier at its
bead. The English forste under (ten.
Maitland were, it will be remembered, no
more successful. The standing army ar,
present kept up there is 30*000 men, but
such is the organization of the empire, tha'
this force can at or.ee be doubled. Besides,
tbe Island is naturally impregnable, and
the natives, retreuting info the fastnesses
of the mountains, might defy and eventu?
ally drive out any force that could be
brought against them. The French (?en
erals declared that they had never known
a country which presented soch ditlical
ties to an invader. What then would be
the chance of a ban I of adventurers who
should go out from the United States on
such an expedition 1 It is trae it is pro?
posed to go under the mask of aiding the
Dominicans, but when we remember that
they are only ?0,000 in number, and the
Haytians a million, the change does not
seem to be much i n proved.
But the llaytian Government is charged
v* ith barbarous outrage* on American clti
/'i", and is even call?;! piratical. Asf>r
piracy, it is a notorious fiLehood that
Hayti has been guilty of it, or has per?
mitted it in her vicinity. The fact is that
n? act of piracy has ever been committed
on the coast of Hayti. While the Spanish
(?overnment of Cuba has seen pirates
swarming in all Its waters, and has not
been able to prevent it, this nation of ne?
groes has tolerated no such thing. And as
for barbarism, we must say that the de?
ficiencies of Hayti in this respect are part?
ly our own fault. Had the United States
treated her justly as an independent peo?
ple, and as we should have treated her had
we had no slaves or had the complexion of
her people been lighter, the ignorance and
superstition of the island woald ere this
have been jn a great degree removed. Bat
however this may be, a warlike invasion of
the island is not the way to educate and
improve its inhabitants.
And then as to the outrages on American
citizens. We do not know much about
the earlier claims, but that connected with
I apt Mayo of the brig Leander is recent
and tbe facts ? omparatively well known.
Capt. Mayo was at Cape Haytien and one
of his own crew denounced him to the au?
thorities for smuggling. He was arrested
on Dec. $, 1960s and imprisoned to take
his trial. He denied tha charge of smug?
gling, but avowed that he had carried a
parcel on shore after the Castom House
was closed and it was forbidden to carry
any thing ashore; that parcel he said con?
tained soiled linen.
When Capt. Mayo was arrested, which
was doLe in a legal manner, the U. S. Com?
mercial Agent, Mr. .1 L. Wilson, intervened
to procure his release. Under the laws of
Hayti the otlense is a bailable one, but the
bail must be offered to the ju^e d'irutrac?
tion, or - iarr.ii.ing magistrate. hough Mr.
Wilson, having long resided on the ieland,
oagbt to have been aware of this, he paid
no attention to it, but addressed his offer of
hail to the Pro^ureur Imperial, or District
Attorney. This offer, or ruther ?lernend,
waa not only made to the wrong otficer, bat,
as the Haytians say. in terms of great dis?
courtesy. The Prorureur replied to it in
tbe larguage of a dignitary exasperated,
ard refused to have any farther official in?
tercourse with its author. Capt. Mayo, in
the meanw hile, remained in prison till bis
trial came on, when he was acquitted and
released. The whole process occupied
something like a fortnight, if we remember
aright; at any rate it was a short time.
Upon this a demand waa made on the
Haytian Government for $3,000 %'t?e^re\
\ i/ : ?500 for Capt. Mayo a impriio?/n*a;
and $ 2,5('0 for detention of the vessel e?^d
for the violation of tbe houee of Mr. Wiltej
in a search made there in coneequeoce,Ba
is alleged in the demand, of the r. >n-fajgl
ment of certain formalities connected
rhc elVair prrvi >n? to the arrest of Capt M
The Government refused to psy the moae?
and our Capt. Parker was ordered to Port!
aa Prince with a naval force to get ^
correspondence with Mr. Da Fresnp, tle
Minister of Foreign Relations, aratia ttt)B#
nf appropriate politeness anJ respect. Te
bis complaints tbe Minister repU?4 that
Capt. Mayo bad merely been su^ected te
tbe laws of the country, and had %nStttd
noibing more than would have h?falUatiay
Haitian in such acase. Ir was true tnU
be bad been cor.filed in a comrmn prissy
and with other prisoners, but that waj
o?ing to the fact that the Governmental,
r.o other Bfa*oa at that place, aji rotty

obligat ion on the part of the Governrueattt
indemnity b:::i f.<r dtmi., *s sr! r.-i la jaJ
siPair. no such obligation was recognired by
the laws of the empire, and none coali is
admitted.
Such is the present state of thit t?<
and it remains to he seen whether the pay.
tncr.t of the indemniry will be enforced.
On legal principles we do not think it ctn

('erstand that a foreign trader in any cos*
try is exempt from the laws of that coo>
try, or can claim any privileges beyond
those they atlord hiai in common with its
citittOnS. If the BfDCMlHoga against Capt
Mayo were perfectly legal,?a |) inf as to
whi h we have not su'.Vicient int irmttioa
to ?peak with absolute certainly?his claim
is bat s doubtful one. Only the fact that
our governniei.t is moving to enforce the
claim, makes us presume that it musthave
some grounds with which we are not a -
? lusinted.
It is probable that Souloaque would pay
the i.'UHNl demanded rather than see hi*
. Spital bombarded, though he is capatile o'
refusing even in view ofthat intlictiii.
It is justly said that lie does not regard
oar Government or its forces with any
great respect. Tins is natural. In the
first oar Government has not recognized
his, ani in f "e sec >n I pla. e h>- knows tbe1
it he chooses to resist, he can retire into
the interior, leave Port aa-Prince to iu
late and defy the consequences. To A\mer
ican commerce any serious dilliculty with
Hayti would bt a misfortune, for it woild
cloea to us a profitable arid ever increasil|
market. The value of this trade is oat
generally understood and the purna/ which
recommends an expedition to help the Do
miiiicans take Hayti, lali irs to make it ap*
pear of very little consequence. Previous
to last year our trad? with Hayti wsi in?
deed small, bat in H50 the Empire t?k
above a niillion and a half of our goods.
This trade, we say, may be increased. Kor
instance, ia I- J4, according to MeCalloch?
England sent goodl to Hayti to the amount
of ?251,979, three quarters of which wars
cottons and linens. This businessour mer?
chant* can monopolize If they choose to
try it end if no trouble intervenes.
The condition of the Island is said to be
far worse, than before the revolution of
1789. This is a mistake. Then there wars
large plantations filled with slaves, pro?
duction was carried as far as possible with
slave labor, and large quantities of codes,
sugar and cotton were exported; still the
exportation of collee is now two thirds of
what it wa? then,while dyewoodi, tobacco,
castor oil, which are now exported in con?
siderable amounts, were not then prodaced
at all. ? ow there arc no plantations, bat
every man has his small farm ; less is ex?
ported, but every family lives in compara?
tive comfort. There are a million of people
in Hayti, but no paupers, a fact which oaf
civilization, freedom and intelligence can?
not match.
Tbe Spanish part of the Island is hell
up as superior to the Empire. Facts do
not bear out tbe assertion. In Dominies
robberies and murders are frequent, aad
every traveler must go armed. In Hsytj
no man need go armed, and such i* tha
honesty of the people that the Captain of a
merchant vessel, who has made above for?
ty voyagea to Hayti, assured at but the
oilier day that he could take the first dock
laborer he met and send him to a distsne?
with ten thousand dollars, and be sare total
it would be safely delivered.
