BY far the severest use of which we have
heard growing out of the Southern slave
laws, is that of young man now under sem
tence of death in South Carolina. The
young man became enamoured ola female
slave, almost white, and very beautiful; he
assisted in her escape from her master; and
together they made their way towards the
free States, for the purpose of being united.
They were however pnisued and taken back,
and the young man, after trial, was senten-
ceu TO death, which penalty, he will in all
likelihood undergo; the 2jth day of April
being fixed on for his execution. Is there
not something revolving TO every better feel
ing of human nature in this? For giving
himself up to the influence of emotions,
which ire the nohest of the human soul, at
the foundation of all that is good in society,
these laws condemn, this young man to death.
Doubtless the master of this beautiful slave,
if he be such an one, may take advantage of
his power, to make her being loathod and
degraded-to destroy her body and soul
but will the law condemn him to death? p

Individual cases of such propenstIes and

it was reserved for the present day, in
