We are thus particular in giving these
documents. that the reader may know how
much credit to attach to this strange story.
The poor woman is over fifty. but still
vigorous She started from here last Tues
day on her way to Mississippi. full of hope,
and determined to have her own RIGHT TO
liberty established by legal evidence, that
sbe may obtain the freedom Of her children.
The whole case is calculated to increase
our abhorrence ofslavery. 1t shows that
The Shareholder has no respect 10 color
that with him it is immaterial whether
his victim be white or black--and that af-.
ter all the boasted jealousy Of Southerners
in respect to the rights of the free, thew
care very little about them. Power with
them is an evidence of right. Here was
poor woman, forty years. continually as
serling her freedom, and yet no chivalrous
son Of the South was humane enough to
look into the matter, or give her an oppo--
tunity Of proving her declaration. There
is too much reason to apprehend. that
many slave, burning at this moment un-
der southern sun. has as clear a right to
liberty. even by law. as the reckless
wretch who robs him Of his earnings.

possession the nsaes the persons men,

THE PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING OUT

Already have they given judgment against
many OF their servants in the National and State
Councils, who misrepresented their sentiments,
frustrated their wishes after they were over and
over unequivocaly expressed, and ueacherously
sacrificed their dearest interests and rights.
These unworthy men have been Indignantly
driven from the posts in which they had
so shamelessly abused the trusts reposed in
them by confding and generous constituents;
and their places have been filled with others who
they believe will be true to the country and dis
charge the obligations Of representatives under
our free constitution with idelity-and therefore
with zeal, vigilance, and assiduity. But another
duty remained and that the People are now
performing. From all quarters is heard voice
OF condemnation against MARTIN VAN buren,,
the chief author, and executor of the misrue I'M
der which the nation has suffered so much, and
SO long That voice declares the imperative de-
cision Of whole People that they win no longer
have this man and the cabal associated with him
10 rule over them and from that decision there
is no appeal.
The interest of the struggle in one or two
States is 50 profound and so absorbing, that the
friends Of HARRISON and Reform have been
comparatively Indifferent TO the results in other
States Notwithstanding the splendid and i'm
portant achievements there Of their fellow la
borers in the great common cause. In another
column we have presented an account of these
triumphant successes.

ANOTHER PLOT

Conspiracy follows conspiracy among the Federal
Loco-focos of New York. Defeated in their attempt
to excite general odium against honest and patriotic
men by the stop thief cry Of" Fraud Fraud" and by
the Stevenson plot they determined on another
scheme. It was plan to obtain twenty-five hundred
spurious votes, by the process of voting early and
Stunning obscure names that have been registered A
gang of mercenares were to pass round the polls as
opened-select the names under which they
to pass at the different wards vote quick and get
away before the persons to whom the honestly
belong, can reach the polls.

MR.. BUTLER AND 1.-THE PLOT"

The following charge is made by the New
York American, ON the testimony Of gentle
man Of high standing:
y ain conversation early in August board steam
boat the North River MIR. Butler stated TO in
ormant that the Wings had begun too soon that the
excitement would flag before the election Our in
ormant said that he thought not he believed the spirit
was so much up that il could not be withstood-that
public opinion becoming settled-and he could not
understand how il would be changed To this Mr..
Butler replied that there would be disclosures that
would drive the Wing party out of the field. What
disclosures ~ said our informant "Of frauds at The
elections" was the reply frauds outrageous as
will such disclosures probably be made z" "Time
enough, said Mr. Butler, for dissemination before
the elections"
"Ths conversation at the time, and Immediately
after, mentioned by informant several persons
and he particularly eered some Wings among his
friends about these expected disclosures that Mr. But
Ter had told him would be made, and asked what they
could be- On arriving at Saratoga Springs subse-
quently where Mr.. Butler was, our informant found
rumors of these forthcoming disclosures in circulation
there, and generally accredited"
In reply, Mr. BUTLER declares that by the dis
closures which were TO drive the Wings out OF
the field he meant the results of the State cleo
tons which "would be SETTLED by the fifteenth
of October" and were to DISPOSE OF THE CON.
TEST
Assuming that this plea is not mere pretence,
the public will perceive that Mr. BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN BUTLER, having upwards of thirty
thousand dollars per annum depending on the
contest, must feel exceedingly compacent at the
manner in which the State elections have g dis
posed" of the contest Since the nomination, al

in favor Of Harrison and Tyler giving ma
