From the Emancipator.
The True Spirit Of Frocmen.

We have not seen, in the proceedings of any o
our societies, better exhibition of the true prin
cpes of liberty, in their application to the Anti
Slavery cause than in the following resolutions
adopted by the Ashtabula co. A. S. Society al
their annual meeting on the 4th Of July 1t viii
be recoected that the first proposal for a nhtiona
convention Of AboitioniSs came from this society
Should views equally clear and consistent, and a
determination equally firm and conscientious, be
found to prevail at the approaching convention
we may augur the most cheering hopes for the
cause of human liberty. The resolutions were
offered and supported in an able address, by the
Rev. T. s. Baris
LAS it is the deliberate opinion Of this Society
that American Slavery endangers the liberty Of
the free people of these United States and that it
is roofing out the very existence of the nation as
free republic-and believing that the continu-
ance of our free institutions depends upon its abo-
iton within our Observation-Disclosures
"Resolved, That as lovers of liberty, and the
friends Of the oppressor and the oppressed like
the fathers of our country we pledge our fortunes
for the purpose Of carrying out the sacred princi-
pies of the Declaration of Independence-tha Hte
liberty and pursuit Of happiness are the inaena-
bic rights of man
"Resolved, That in the exercise Of our privileq-
es as electors, we should be governed by the a9hoze
WOTIG pTtilclf'teS q C00100teS, as constituting Mt
ness for Office; and that the selection of any one
principle as a test, regardless of other qualities,
would be unjust to ourselves and the public,
THAT among the most important qualifications
for office, we consider firm and undertaking at
tachment to the principles contained in the De-
caration of Independence and repeated in the
Constitutions Of our States That all men are born
equally free and independent, and have certain
inherent and inalienable rights, among which are
the enjoying and defending Of life, liberty, and
the pursuit Of happiness.
"That, in our opinion, no man is qualified for
Office in our national or state governments, who
is indifferent to, disregards those great and i'm
porant principles of liberty, or who has not the
moral courage to avow or sustain them as far as
he Is able, or who would not extend the blessings
of freedom to all men, so far as we have the con.
stitutonal right or who would not use and exert
his Influence to redeem our nation from the dis
grace of the internal slave trade"
"Resolyed, that those who maintain the rights
of the colored man in this country, to choose the
place of his location, and to use his powers Of To-
comoton to carry into effect such right, are not
only governed by the present principles of phian-
thropy-but by The expressed will of Him. who
has made of one blood all the nations of men to
dwell on the face of the earth, which will is ex-
pressed in Deut., %, Is, Is.

gentleman from Carolina broke out as follows
Sir your estimate of Southern character differs
essentially from mine. have lived sixteen years
in South Carolina; and have now left it, with the
resolution never to live in slave state again.
You talk Of generosity. III tell you in what it
consists. The Southern gentlemen drives others
with the whip to toll for him. He comes to Phi
ladeIphia, New York, and Boston, and during six
months spends their earnings in making dash
among the yankees; then he goes home to starye

Intelligence from Trinidad.


Extract from the Colonial journal.
''We know too of property in the same Island Trim
idad) which sold under the apprenticeship system,
and of with the advantage of the labor attached
it, for $50 900; that has been sold again since the
pete emancipation for sos 000 and have it from good
authority, that during the Christmas holidays, the negroes
who visited the Port of Spain from the country made their
purchases of every kind freely that the stores have new
been known be bare when the last packet sail

We learn that gentleman in this city from lrini-
dad, who is member of the Legislative Council, states
that laborer readily dollar PER day. and that
the planters well afford to pay them at that rate.
There is deficiency Of aborers, owing portion of the
coored population Withdrawing from agriculture
in trade &c. thus forming since the Emanc patton Act
mddlng and growing class in society which had never
existed previously the Island Our informant states that
is easy that this change of things will ultimately
he of great service Trinidad only but to the United
States. greater quantity of land will be put under cu
tiyaton not than tenth being present in that
state, the number of will be much increased,
and competition among the aborng and mddlng classes
will promote the prosperity Of the island. As Trinidad
has been considered Experiment Island both by the
British Government and others, the failure of
emancipation there will probably materially affect the ques-
ton of slavery in other parts of the world Ii on full trial
is demonstrated that emancipation promotes the peace,
welfare and prosperity of both aborers and planters other
nations will profit by the example.-JOnncl Of Com

Marking by Manning.

It is very impressive section in "American
Slavery as it is" which treats of the practice a.
mong Shareholders, of marking their slaves by de-
priving them of one or more of their fore teeth.
But no notice is taking of another method In
marking, by cutting Of one or tDo fingers, 10
looking over a number of slave advertisements,
atelywe have been struck by the frequency of this
work, and led to conclude that so many cases Of a
sort of a MAIN quite uncommon with other labor
ers, cannot be the effect of accident. 1t is obvi-
Gus, that in tie patriarc4M simplicity of occupa-
tions prevailing in the slave republics, the loss Of
some fingers would not deteriorate the value oil
the property; and as to the pain and the humiIia-
ton of the suftrers--they are only slaves. We
present few Of the advertisements referred to, by
way Of specimen.
In the Charleston Mercury, June "a, Mr., Hen
ry M. Holmes advertises:
Thirty dollars will be given for my house ser
want PETER, known by the name of Peter
Geathers, who left me in the city, in March last.
Said fellow is about 43 years Of age, feet or 2
inches high, slender built, has one of his front
teeth decaved and the first Joint Of the little fin
ger of his left hand and the one next to it cat off. "
The Mississippian, of June, has an advertise
ment of the taller of Kinds Co., of a negro named
Tom, committed as a runaway slave. The des-
criptiou is not very clear, but reads thus
''Ths negro is about 90 years of age, feet z
I-2 inches high, tolerabe black, and spare made,
and two particular marks on his finger, md his
left hand neat TO his little finger, IS of up to the
knuch1e joint, and also his little finger, and his
right hand as off up to has hnuehle. This negro
stated that he ran away from his master in Lex
ington, in Holmes Co., Missouri"
Those who are a little familiar with the dialect
of that country, will render it into English, as fol-
lows,-"two particular marks, his finger on his
left hand next to his little finger is of up to the
1nuckIe joint, and his middle finger on isright
hand is off up to his bnucIde.' A very remarka-
bic accident, indeed.-B

Important from Mexico.

Santa a,na Superseded in the NerieaH Presidential
chair by general Brapo,
We were put in pos. esson Of this unexpected piece
intelligence yesterday by Captain Cotre of the schooner
Essex from Matamoas, which port he left on The 10th inst
That the present Mexican rulers capable OF eecting
many strange deeds, always prepared to believe
should be elected, chosen for situation Of which,
appears his master deemed unworthy, is matter
that seems TO require conformation The Essex
manifesto shown to us by Captain Core bears endorse
ment to this Effect On the 9TH inst express courier
arrived here from Mexico, stating that Santa Anna was
driven from the Presidential chair and General Bravo elect
ed to fill the vacancy
OF the correctness Of this statement Capt Cottre enter
tanedno suspicion; and when take into consideration
the well known fact that the present race OF Mexcans hard
~ recognize any principle of action but the tumutuous in
centves Of unbrided Righteousness, the news may moi
wear so apochryphal feature.

A letter from Cincinnati, date July II, says,
@Y esterday concluded the last case against the
Cincinnati mob of July, 1886. There was no
excitement on either, side. A calm ascertainment
of damages was followed by Submission, with
out argument, to the jury, who in little while
rendered a verdict in favor of the Plaintiff (Pugh,
the printer of $500. This covers the whole
claim. Poor fellows, they have lost their money,
and public sympathy to boot"
The only remaining subject of regret, so far as
justice is concerned, is that the weight of both
shame and loss could not by some means, be made
to fall on the leaders of the "NIarket house meet
ing" the instigators and real authors of the mob
that destroyed the Anti-Slavery office and Phan-
thropst press. But although the. gentlemen of
property and standing" thus escape the penalty of
the law which falls upon their deluded tools, the
people aeiU Minh.
