al doubt Of the result. Next morning W.
had different adyices, putting Oneida ant
Madison moderately against us, but giving
us encouraging reports from Delaware
Chenango, Seneca, Ontario and Monroe
On the strength of this news, which lie:
the chances nicely balanced if no: a iillt
in favor oil Clay, many Wings be. largely
on the State and general result, stimulated
by nm unfortunate error Of judgment in a
leading Wing journal. 1t now appears
that The Loco Focos had private advices
that (Thursday) morning by a steamboat
which came down express from Albany
10 within some ten or twelve miles of this
City. Aided by this, they had no trouble
in swindIing the Wings TO the tune OF
Half Million or so, in addition 10 their
previous heavy losses. We don't object
10 sharp practice but isn't this a little too
sharp? What says the Morning News!

That was 100 bad! TO lose the half
million of money, and the embodiment
too, at one game, and this after so much
Boosting of a large victory, was too much
for one draught. Never mind-put up can
didale next time who is in favor of human
freedom Omit your advance boasling aud
may be YOU will succeed. II however,
you shall see fit to try another Shareholder,
or a man who is in favor of slavery, you
may find it as hard to get the supper. Of
aboliIionisls as you did during the last
campaign.
THRILLING lNCIDENT.-At a meeting
Of the friends of Colonization ia this city,
on Wednesday evening, we were spec
tators to one Of the most intensely thrill
ing incidents connected with the depart
ure of a small band of emigrants, just
bro't to the city by a gentleman of Shell
by county, by whom they were manu-
mitted, and placed under the care of Rev.
Mr. Pinney,a AN agent Of the Colonization
Society. Of the number, eleven were
children Of one man, who was present.
and appeared TO be verging TO the age of
three score years and ten. This patri
arch was not ofthe manumitted: he be,
longcd to another state, but had permits
sion to accompany his wife and children
10 this city, and here bid them final
adieu. When this fact was announced,
with an emotion that almost choked the
utterance of the speaker, there was that
long drawing 10 ofthe breath by every !
listener, which indicates the working of
the powers within. All eyes were di.
rccted towards the object of so much
sympathy; and when it was farther sta
ted, that the owner ollhe old man Rcu.
ben (for so he was calIed) would permit
him to depart with his family for the small
sum of a thousand pence, the response
was with one voice, ReMbe" shqH be free!
On the instant the table of the Moderator
was %thronged, and the requisite sum laid
upon it; TO %reunite for the remnant! of
their days old man Ruben and his wife;
and they and their children are now on
way to the shores of Africa Lou
81. C0ur.
Blessed thing slavery is! This old
man must first be bought before he could
be assured Of not being separated from
his family. The whole family too, must
so to Africa in order to enjoy freedom.
o, glorious land Of liberty! And at this
late day there are many men who profess
TO be ministers of the gospel, who main
tain that the Bible sanctioAs slavery!-
The Rev. Doctor of Divinity, Richard
Fuller Of South Carolina, has recently
published an article in the Christian Re
%f1ector, maintaining that side Of the ques-
ton. The article quoted will tell as
much agains. slavery, as the Bible will
for it.
