Ridiculous nonsense! The Enquirer and the

has taken place. The voice of the men has indeed
changed but false face doth hide what the false
heart doth knows The Enquirer says. 'opinions of
public men constantly liable to change in conse-

truth is, in apprehension, that the absure and
most irreconcilabe contradictions which we have
pointed out in the public declarations Of the Post
and Enquirer are chargeable entirely and exclusive
ly to want of any uniform and stable political
principle.
1t is indeed common to change opinions and to
commit errors but we shall not consent, nor will
others, to be dunced so much as to believe
ment that the Editors of the Enquirer and Post know
any thing more now of General Jackson's fitness for
the Presidency than they did some years ago. Then
he was every thing that dangerous, cruel and y-
rannical, and if he was so then he he is so STILL

ABOLITION OF sLAyERY.--A few weeks
and slavery will not be known to the laws oil ne"
York. The wisdom and philanthropy OF our legs
ators seconded by the cordial corporation OF me
people, have within period Of only twenty-egn,,,
wears, relieved the state from the greatest OF al
moral and political evils. This great object mas
been effected without any disturbance TO the pup
lie tranquility; without complaint on the part o'
slave owners, and without expense to the state.
As the law on this subject is not generally under
stood, we state it for the satisfaction OF such OF our
readers as have not an opportunity OF informing
themselves. The first act for the gradual abolition
Of slavery was passed in 1899. The act oil 5lst
March, isl7, which repeats the former existing
acts. is the last general act on the subject.
The act of 1917, sec. 4, enacts " That every
child born Of slave within this state, after the
fourth day of July, in the year OF our Lord one
thousand seven hundred and ninety-nlne, shall be
free, but shall remain the servant OF the owner OF
his or her mother, and the executors, acministra-
tors or assigns, of such owner in the same manner
as If such child had been bound to service by the
overseers of the poor, aud shall continue IN such
service, if a male, until the age OF twenty -elght
wears, and If female, until the age OF twenty-five
wears: and that every child bosn of slave within
this state after the passing of this act, shall remain
servant as aforesaid until the age OF twcnty-one
years and no longer"
Section 50, OF the same act, enacts, I'D, cN-
cry negro, muatto, or mustee, within this state,
born before the fourth day Of July, one thousand
seven hundred and ninety-nine, shall, from and
after the fourth day Of July, one thousand eight
hundred and twenty seven, be free"
After the 4th day of July next therefore, slavery
will be unknown to the laws OF our state But al
though BY the operation of the act, all slaves viii
become free persons, yet some OF the children OF
slaves will remain the servants of the owners OF the
slaves, until they arrive at a certain age, III the
same manner as poor children bound out by the
ovcrseers of the poor. A child of slave, born on
the Sd day of July next, will remain such servant
for 81 years thereafter; whereas. it born on the
9TH 1.-TWO days after) it would be absolutely free:
the mother on the Sd being slave, but on the 5th
la free woman. The act, however. requires that
the person entitled to the service Of such child,
should make an affidavit of the facts, and tile the
same in the city or town clerks office, within one
wear after the passage Of the act, after the birth
of the child; but as this has generally been neglect
ed. it follows that few will owe even such services
n account Of the slavery Of their parent. Thus
in The space Of IS years from the commencement
Of the operation OF the first law for the gradual alb
,tion Of slavery, viii that most dangerous evil
