For the Freeman.
Miss Webster,

This lady stands convicted, by a Kentucky
court, of aiding a man, his wife and child, in the
peaceful recovery of those natural and inaliena-
bic rights, of which they had by force and fraud
been deprived, and for this she is imprisoned in
the Penitentiary of that State. Had this occur
red in Morocco or Algiers, what commenda-
tons should we have heard upon all sides, of the
selfsacrifcing heroism of the American lady,
and what denunciations of the pirate power that
had imprisoned her therefor. Is Heavens law
of practical application? Must the United States
of America in order to be bound, be specially
named in the preamble and body of the Act
Does the great rule of right vary with degrees o.
latitude and longitudel In solving great mora
problems are we to take the altitude of the sun
and consult the chronometer? And yet we heal
of those who speak of the guilt of Miss Webster
Torrey and others, as though there were some
wondrous magic in the enactments of a Kentuc
ky or Maryland Legislature to alter and amend
the moral relations which God has established
as though indeed, the wrong of e~nslaving a man
being an act of force and fraud in the ~enslaver
could be transmitted into innocence by any sane
ton which a body of enslavers in convention o
Legislature could give it; as though the adm!
of a man in the peaceful recovery of his right
would be a virtue if done in Algiers, but is
g%rievous wrong if done in America. Such rea
soners would refer the sunshine, the rain, tn
hail and the snow, to the representations of tn
almanac-maker; and if, perchance, the element
should be found sometimes to have lost the da
of the month, and so be caught sporting, quit
Independent of the Almanac, they must be tai

A Victim Wanted 10 Satiate Wing Hate,

Before the election, the Wings threatened ven
geance against the Liberty party, if their idol, Hen
nv Clay, should not succeed in gaining his election.
Different individuals of the Liberty party were
marked as the peculiar objects of their fendlsh re-
venge. And among others stood JamesG G.. Birney,
the worthy candidate of thar party. He was DOOM
ed by the leading Wing presses to receive the full
measure Of all the wrath which they, in their SUI
perabundance of malignant revenge, should be able
to pour, "unmiXed,'' upon his devoted head. |
have known, for some years, that the leaders OF
the Wing party were capable of cherishing as
deep hatred against any one who should dare to
cross their path, as thought it possible for any
human being to carry about in their breasts; but bad
as | have supposed human nature to be, ] was not
prepared for the exhibition they have made OF their
hatred; hence it vas that ! regarded their threats
before the election, as the mere vaporings of dis
l appointed politicians. But their course since the
, election shows that the Wings, at least, can carry
9 their revenge beyond the point, where | though

Osborn, temperate, nnofiensve mechanic, was
murdered lew days since at New Haven, under
circumstances of the most cold blooded lerocity.
The cause of the murder, Andrew p. Potter, hav-
ing been arrested, has confessed his guilt. Potter
borrowed gold watch of Osborn and gave it to his
mulatto mistress. Osborn wanted il, and either
the mistress would not give it up Potter did not
want her TO, and that he might keep possession Of
the watch, he hired negro by the name of Oscar
McGurey TO murder Osborn for the paltry sum Of
fire dollars. This he did in the presence of Potter
with heavy pike-pole. Some Of the blood was
spattered upon the pantaloOns Of Potter and led to
his speedy arrest.

"We understand that there is in Brattleboro, )
just now, a wonderful awakening upon the
subject of Rail Roads. The very remarkable
people Of that very remarkable place have come
TO the conclusion that il is decidedly improper
for the Legislature OF Massachusetts to grant
any Rail Road charters without their assent
As Brattleboro is the very centre and support
OF the world, and as there is upon this Globe
no other spot of any particular Importance, we
are not sure but what they are right 1t is
true enough If the inhabitants of any other
town, particularly Of any one out of Massa-
chusetts, were TO attempt to dictate and con-
troll upon this subject their conduct might be
considered in the highest degree impairment
But Brattleboro is an exception 10 general
rules, and all we have right to do is 10 sub
nit patiently. II is proper that Massachusetts
should not only charter, but build Rail Road
from Fiichburg to Brattleboro, but it would
be an outrageous assault upon the dignity and
consequence Of Bratileboro for that State TO
