THE PREsIDENcy.-In letter dated
London, June 18th, addressed to the
people Massachusetts, Mr.. WEBSTER
withdraws his name as a candidate Tor
the Office Of President at the nextelec-
ton. The Wing field is now open for
Mr.. Clay and Gen. Harrison-the for
mer will doubtless receive the nomlna-
ton OF the convention, but it is doubt
ed whether the friends of the latter
will, consent to withdraw his name.
With three candidates in the field, we

have acted with the wings in support
of the banks, have usually been inter
csted in these corporations, a sufficient
reason why the people should not vote
for such men.-The great mass OF the
voters against the banks are invariably.
democrats. The wings allcgc THAT the
democrats have had the majority, and
arc therefore responsible for the crea-
ton of the banks. In other words, the
great mass of the wing party go for
the banks, and induce a small section
of the democratic members to 90 with
them, by which the banks are charter
ed. and then seek 10 shift the response
bility on to the democratic party. Thus
the wings in effect deny that they are
moral agents or accountable beings, and
seek 10 shift their own sins on TO few
democrats, who have been weak or
unpvinciplcd enough to aid them in
this work Of iniquity. Such morality
needs no comment MIR. Prentiss and
the wings may clamor till doomsday'
the evidence Of their guilt is written in
the archives Of the country, and can
not be erased or blotted out. They
have made the banks and their names
are written under the charters.

James G.. Birney.

The Phanthropist of the 9Th, states that this
gentleman passed through Cincinnati, recently, on
his way to Louisville, Ky. The occasion which
called him thither, was the sudden decease Of his
father, who resided near Louisville, and who died
withou. will, leaving twentyone slaves. Mr.. B.,
the son, and the Hon. Judge Marshall married 10
Mr.. B. IS only sister, were the only persons legal
ly interested in the estate. Between them d.
vision agreed on, by which all the slaves were
set off to Mr. B. The next day,-the deeds Of
emancipation having in the mean time been pre-
pared,-THEY WERE ALL MADE FREE. The same
number of the PhiIanthropist gives a copy of the
deed of emancipation.
On his return to Cincinnati, an anti-slavery
meeting was held in the sixth Presbyterian Church
(Rev J. Blanchards) which is thus noticed by the
Phianthropist:
MEETING IN CINCINNATI.-On last Tuesday
evening" large concourse of people assembled TO
hear Mr.. Brney deliver an address, in the Sixth
Presbyterian church. The place was crowded.
The audience listened with profound, and unbro-
ken attention. 1t was one of Mr.. Birney's best
efforts. Clear, strong, calm and conclusive, his
exposition of the nature of slavery and its horrible
effects will be forgotten by few who heard him.
Ex-senator Morris being present. was called upon,
at the conclusion of the lecture and for more than
an hour spoke in his usual fearless and energetic
style of the inroads and designs of the slavehod-
ing power. Both speeches must have. occupied,
we think, about three hours in their delivery, but
the interest of the people continued, undated to
the last.

In 1890, the free black population Of the Unit
ed States was only SO, 40; in 1880, 1t had swell
led to 32l $50 showing doubling of the Glass;
from the natural increase and from emancipation
about every fifteen years.
In the present siaveholding states, the same pop
ulation was in 1890, but 2Sl97; and in 1880, the
number had increased to l67,7lS-being doub-
led IN those states, from the natural increase and
from emancipation about every l6 years
10 1929, Alabama contained only 57l free
blacks; in 1880, she had 1910, and in so years
from the present time, at the same ratio of increase,
she will contain upwards of 10000 Mobile
alone has now 467, being about as many as the
whole state contained in 1920. In our own coun-
ty, with entire population of less than 3,000 ac-
cording to the recent census, there are 80 free
blacks.
The states Virginia, Maryland, Louisiana, &
Mississippi, are now prosecuting the object with
an earnestness proportional TO the necessity of re-
moving so great an incubus. Nor can the same
policy in this state, in relation to the same object
be otherwise than beneficial, which is necessary
in those. Virginia, with free black population
of $4,000, availing herself of the agency of the
American COL Soc. at Washington, has sent to
Liberia about 1000. Maryland with still larg-
err free black population, has established a colony
of her own, and, under legislative appropriation
of 100000 dollars, dispatches two or three expe'
ditions annually TO Maryland in Africa.
Louisiana and Mississippi have also colonies O.
their own on the western coast of Africa, for which
emigrans leave New Orleans twice year, ir
a regular packet, owned by the two societies.
In view of these premises, we cannot see the
wisdom Of postponing action until the approach
ing tornado oueraohelmS as aoith its deraStataonS
Liberia possesses every requisition of soil and eli
mate to afford the colonists subsistence and indie
pendence. Already have several miniature re-
publics sprung up there, in which are cherished
the principles of our own Institutions and so fa1
as the race is susceptible Improvement, the felt
is a favorable one for their success Nor should
it be forgotten that it is the natural home of the
negro race and at q safe distance, anhence they
could neper return TO the injury ofour Stare popu
lation ; and, If stern necessity should eucr demno
their bamiShment FROM THE UNITED STATES, HUI
MANlTY COULD NOT PLEAD THAT THERE WAS Nc
PLACE PREPARED FOR THEIR RECEPTION.

Trial of the Captiyes.

The reader will find in two articles which we
copy from the Daily Atlas, pretty full report, SO
far as proceedings have been had in the interest
ing case ofthe African Captvcs. Judge Thomp-
son has decided that the Circuit Court, before
whom the case of the socalled slaves was brought
have no jurisdiction on the charge of piracy and
murder. On the claim set up involving the ques-
ton of property, the Judge, as reported does not
decide. The case, it seems is to be carried to the
District Court and it is impossible TO anticipate
what will be the result. Our ant-slavery friends
of New-York have taken every precaution to get
a full report of the trial.

WHY WE DON'T GO TO THE SoUTH.-Abolition-
lists do not go to the South because the right
time is not yet come. The need being equal, it is
usually well for US to remedy wrong at our
own doors, before We go abroad to correct one
which may exist there, When we have induced
the North to cease from savehoding, then, we
doubt not abotionsts will be found actively at
work in the South At present, the number is
much greater in the Northorn States for the ac-
tual Shareholders are not only those who possess
the nominal title to the slaves, but those who
make sustain, and execute laws TO assist others in
holding slaves. Those who are USUALLY denoni-
mated Shareholders, do not compose one-tenth of
the adult white male population of. the United
States, 1.-THE nine-tenths will cease 10 aid the
one-tenth in committing aggression, it will become
utterly impossible for the latter TO hold the opnress
ed any longer in bondage. When Pennsylvania.
and other Northern States, shall have repealed
all their local laws which in any way sustain
slavery,-and when, through the votes of their
members of Congress, and of their State LegisIa-
lures, they shall have lent their efforts for the
changing OF every provision in the Constitution
and laws of the Union which in any way sustain
it, then 1--WE venture to predicD will the friends OF

PrOtract ted Meeting.

Many OF our readers will be interested to learn
that protracted religious meeting is in progress
at the Free Church in this place. and that appear
ances are indicative of good. The Rev. Mr.. Day,
extensively and favorobly llno Tn in New York &
Ohio as an Evangelist, is the preacher. Both as
a sermonizer and speaker Mr.. Day is man of
uncommon gifts. His style of address is some
what similar to that of Mr. Burchard, though, as
we understand, the two brethren have no acquaint-
ance with each other. The meeting will continue
for some time TO come. Public services al 2 P. NJ.

The Baptists Moving.

The Vermont Telegraph, the excellent organ
of the Baptist denomination in this State, contains
call for " Vermont Baptist Anti-Slavery Con-
vention," to meet at Brandon, on Tuesday the Sth
of October. The firm and consistent testimony
which our brethren of this denomination have
borne on the subject of human rights, fully war
rants the expectation that strong impulse VIII
be given to our cause by this movement The
General Convention of Baptists at their meeting
two years since, addressed noble letter OF admo-
milton to their savehodng brethren in the South.
The letter was published in some of the Baptist
papers in the slave states, and no doubt produced
a salutary impression on many shareholders con-
science.

O-To our friend who writes from Chittenden
County, we would say, that while we do not dis
sent from his main position, we do not think the
publication of his peculiar religious dogmas in our
columns would serve any valuable purpose. The
discussion which he invites seems better adapted

10 sectaran controversy.
