TFhatmicM be eapscted.-Not long ago,
the landlord of one OF the hotels in South
port. with his family retired to rest, and for.
got to lock up his depot Of infammable IL
quids, viz. the bar door; next morning be-
ing the day appointed for washing the fam
lily. of course expected all i:.e washing to be
nearly completed upon their rising from bed;
but instead of that, found the cook and SER
want dead drunk, scnseless, and asleep
upon the floor, and the washing, in Stat''
quo! Now with what grace, or face, or
consistency, could the landlord chide this
foul alteration seing that he gains his live
lihood, and pays even his servants wages
by pandcring to such vice and folly.

LATEST FROM FLORIDA.

Chd7ieSt0n, Nep. o.
The schr. amelia, Capt. JoYNER, arrived
here yesterday, from New.Oreans, via St.
Augustine, having on board, as passengers,
some officers of the U. S. army from whom
we learn that the post at Micannopy had
been abandoned, and the troops removed
to Gray's Ferry, on Black Creek. Three
companies of soldiers have been ordered
to Santa Fe's Bridge, which is to be kept
up as military station. AT Newnansville
sixty miles from Gary's Ferry; Gary's Fer
ry and Picoata, garrisons are also to be kept
up. Numerous small parties of Indians
(supposed to be Creeks) are reported to be
passing South in the vicinity Of Newnans-
vile.
About 300 men were at 81. Augustine,
sick, having been brought from different
posts through the country.
Lieut.. DAScY givesa deplorable account
of the health of the U. S. forces in Florida.
He states that Of a company of e5 U. S.
dragons, who arrived there in March last,
there were but six reported capable ofduty
and of his own company, consisting of be.
tween 60 and 70, there were only four, when
he left, who were not on the sick list.

he thought Of the effect ardent spirits had
upon his two legged customers, and he re-
solved to make an experiment. Accord
ingly he prepared a pan of strap, set in the
cel!or and waited the event. The next
morning he found fourteen large rats, lying
helpless around the pan. 1t is needless to
add, he pursued this device until his house
was cleared of rats and mice..-. Vermont

Some of our contemporaries seem to cvncc
considerable excitement at the recent decision
of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts that
a slave carried into that State with the con-
sent of his Master becomes entitled to his
freedom. We see no good cause for excite
ment on the occasion. A master who sends
his slave, or permits him to 60 among aboli-
tionists deserves to loose him. The Legisla-
ture of South Carolina, long since passed a law
prohibiting any slave or other person of color
from coming into the State who had been be-
yond the Potomac; and we suppose ten white
persons could hardly be found in the state ia
vorable to the repeal of the law.

The Washington Globe of yesterday
contains a letter from Captain Duncan, at
Fort Leavenworth, dated the 10th May,
which states that war has already broken
out on the southwestern frontier, and that
one of eight persons who had started from
the trading establishment OF Messrs. Bent
& St Vrain, had arrived at Fort Leaven-
worth, who stated that 90 days previous,
the party to which he belonged were at
tackled near the Santa Yeetrace on the
Arkansas river, about so miles below
Cheautos Gland, by a war party of Indians,
who killed three Of their number. He
thinks the Indians were Of the Kioway
tribe. He also states that u war party OF
Chians and Arrapahoes combined, had ar
rived at Fort William with % scalps
which they had taken from the A~rrickares,
near the south fork of The river Platte
The letter further states that information
was received from the Rev. Mr.. Berry,
that a war dance had taken place at the
Upper Keekapoe Village, about five miles
from Fort Leavenworth, at which there
was great rejoicing at the success Of the
Seminoles in Florida, and that the Chiefs
and Braves had boldly declared that the
lime was near at hand when the whites
would be entirely %subdued, and the red men
again restored to their country. ~ Y.

After a close and unusually laborious in
vestigatlon, occupying five days, this inter.

close. The examination OF witnesses ter
minated on Tuesday about l2 O'Clock, when
the summing up, on the part ofthe defence,
was commenced by Mr. WIN. nj. Price,
Mr. Morris, for the prosecution, followed in
a short, but pertinent address. Mr. Hof.
man, at half past five, commenced the de.
livery of one Of the most eloquent, fervid,
and affecting addresses that was ever Ut

was particularly splendid. Such was the

MIR VAN BUREN'S VOTE on THE
BILL OF ABOMIN ATOMS.

We had occasion to state some time ago
that Mr. Van Buren, was the tavorite Press
idential candidate of the Northern Aboli
tionists. We inferred this from the fact
that the papers purportlng TO be friendly to
Abolition, espoused the cause Of Mr. Van
Buren,, with great zeal and held him up
20 public admiration as the ANTAGONIST of
the SLAVE HOLDERS CANDIDATE. We
knew Mr. Van Buren, entertained notions as
little settled on this subject as any other /;
hat he held opinions for certain markets
and meridians, and that while he was sus-
tanned in New England and New York on
tie score Of his Abolition principles, he was
upheld in Georgia and Virginia as the enc
my of Abolition, and the committed friend
of Slavery, The discussion of his princi
pies in this regard is now fortunately set at
rest forever. His non committal game will
serve his turn no longer and his white
s,aves of the North will no longer dare to
continue the deception they have hitherto
attempted to practice.
AS the Bill of Mr. Calhoun, for ,chich
Mr. Van Buren, gare his castiug uoie, is one
of vital interest and Importance, to the
people OF oil sections, we propose to presen,
a cursory consideration of its most odious
features. Its provisions are broad and gem
erai. They make it illegal for any Pos,
Master to mail or deliver "any pamphlet,
newspaper, handful, or other paper printed
or written, touching the subject of Slaperv
addressed to any person living in a State
where the circulation of such paper is pro,
hibited by law" And this offence the bill
proposes to punish by fine aud imprison
ment.
The objections to this Bill are manifol,
md obvious. IT is DEE A BILL OF
A~BoMINArIoNs. What right has a Pos
Master to know the contents of the paper
which pass through his office Are W
living, or are we to be dopmed to live, un
der the curse Of a Post Office Espionage
And what justice is there in furnishing
Pos, Master for mailing or delivering doc
uments, of whose contents he can righlfuii
obtain no knowledge Here is a dllemm
for the friends of the bill. II the Postmas
ter examines the contents of a paper, wri,
ten or printed, he should be dismissed fo
an abuse Of his powers, IT he fail to OK

Permission. This is without precedent in
