SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.

A citizen of Virginia, in a letter addressed
to the Richmond Wing, says that "Charles-
ton, S. G.. has now a smaller population than
it had in 1880, and is daily losing more
The population for twenty miles round the
city is one-third less than it was before the
revolution!'
The United States Journal says that the
people there are too indolent to supply the
Charleston Market with game and fish even,
but it has to depend on Yankees for such
supply. No wonder the population is de-
creasing. Their l~aziness is, doubtless to be
attributed to the present Wing Tariff. Some
years age Charleston was afflicted with a
large fire, and as a measure of relief and a
stimulant to restore it, the State allowed the
city to borrow money on its credit,to rebuild.
A large amount Of money was thus borrowed,
but the buildings are not yet up, and the
State has to pay. This, too, is to be attribu-
ted to that accursed Tariff policy.
Now look at free labor and manufactures,
in the example of Pittsburgh. Eight months
ago-tWo-HirdS of the city was b~urned--now,
but one-hird of the burnt district remains UNI
built.
Look at Louisville and Cincinnati. The
latter is digging canal after canal-and build
ing railroads-all bringing the rich products
Oh the lntcIIoT "ltlll Inc lodCh vi heI lhuuS-
trious citizens. The former city tailed, AK
ED, and TALKED about forming a steam
boat line from Louisville to Pittsburgh-sub-
scriptions for stock were handed round among
its men of capital, and about the 10th part of
what was required, was subscribed. The
matter fell, because Shareholders had not suf-
fcient enterprise.
Slavery is .'the accursed policy" The
humble, ridiculed and d~espised 'Hoosierdom'
is now greater than the lofty heroic v~alorous
and hospitable Kentucky. The reason-free
labor VS.. slave labor.

afford IMMUNITY to injustice, lechery and
crime. these are sure to be enacted, though
thousands may revolt at and even remain ig-
norant of such enormities. The simple fact
that it is deemed unsafe in slave States to al
low Blacks to testify against Whites, itself
attests the essential character and influences
of Slavery. The Slaves must be awfully
corrupt and degraded,o r the makers and sup
porters of such laws are cowardly and inhu-
man tyrants. The former, we presume, is
generally the truth.
The Editor of The Tribune has enjoyed
opportunities of observing 'the actual condi-
ton of the Slave in Maryland, Virginia, and
North Carolina, and for weeks in the Dis
trict of Columbia. What could he learn in
Kentucky? We are not at all afraid OF
Lynch-law or mobs, and intend to visit Ken
lucky (without regard to Slavery, however,
the first fair OPPORTUNITY. Y. Tribune.

departure from the rules of the Society in the
solemnizltlon of marriage is a disownable
offence, and the parent or guardian who in
any way countenances OF consents to such a
marriage, in the case of a member under his
care, Is dealt with as an offender, and unless
he can be brought to a true sense of his or
ror, and to make a satisfactory acknowledge
ment, is disowncd. Yet a member may coun-
tenanco the act Of making merchandise of his
fellow beings-may go to the elections and
vote for, and use his whole influence. 10 elect
slaveholders-men who arc guilty of the most
infamous crimes, to fill the highest Offices of
the country--he may actively support a slave
holding, war-makins, p%iratical government,
(as many members do) and the Society of
Friends holds full fellowship with him. Tho
individual who believes it a greater crime TO
accomplish marriage contrary to the order Of
Friends, than to hold his brother MN in sla-
very or murder him upon the battle field, can,
50 far as this matter is concerned, consistent
ly remain in loving fellowship with the Soci-
ETY. of Friends, for that Society by its ac-
ton virtually subscribes TO this doctrine
For myself | believe differently, and hence,
for the reasons above stated as well as others
of perhaps equal weight, | feel called uSou
to disclaim all fellowship Win Friends a, a
Christian Society. | feel thus called upon
because l believe that to hold such fellow
ship with, or to sanction in any way the do
ings of the Society, while in its present po-
s%ition, would be to hold fellowship with that
which Christianity condemns, and to sane
ton immortality.
As before stated, | did not become oven a
nominal member of your Society by my own
request. | shall not therefore dicta tie to
Friends what action they shall take relative
to that matter. | trust | have made my po-
sition sufficiently understood, and that what
| have written will not be attributed to any
personal iil-feeling towards the members Of
Society, among whom are many of nay dear
est friends, but rather to a desire to do that
which believe to be right.

V SWINDLING.

We copy the following from the Hender-
son Kentuckian.
A man named Bishop from Caldwell. ac-
companied by a fellow named Curry, from
Union county, passed through this place on
Tuesday last with a negro man whom they
were Offering for sale; they represent him to
be sound in mind and body, when at the
same time they know that he is subject to fits,
which renders him almost worthless. There
are two of the Bishops brothers,one of whom
goes on and sells the negro for about $3.50,
(the negro being a likely looking fellow he
readily commands that price,) when the pur-
chaser discovers how he is bit he takes the
negro back, but he soon discovers that Bish-
OPP is insolvent; the brother then comes for
ward and after sympathizing with the unfor-
tunate purchaser he offers him $500, all the
money he has, for the negro, which, of course
he readily tlkes,as the negro is of no service
to him, they then start out and again sell the
negro in the same way; thus clearing from
5000 to 5000 on each sale. They have made
many sales Of this kind.

DEMOCRATS OPINION.

We find a brief report of one of the recent
speeches of the Hon. John p. Hale, in one
of our New England exchanges. We clip
the following extract to show a democrats
opinion of the Democratic party;
HE declared that the only question %involv-
ed in the election of a member of Congress,
was the question of slavery-that 1t was not
so much whether Slarery should continue at The
South. as Vhether freedom Should be maintain
ed att North-that thousands ofDemocrats in
New Hampshire had similar views with him
self on this subject, aud were only prevented
from avowlng them by a fear of splitting the
party-that the great argument used by the
political leaders of the falsely named democ-
racy of New HAMPSHIRE to secure the fealty
of their deluded followers, was the danger
of splitting The parry. He then declared that
a party so entirely debased, so deeply steep
ed in the very dregs of corruption, as was the
democratic party of New Hampshire, as now
organized, ought to be split into fragments

A SAD CAsE.-By a letter from st. Louis,
dated October 18th, we learn that at that time
a colored man, aged about 80, who some years
ago ran away from Slavery, was confined in
the Jail at that place. After his escape he
reached Canada but finally located in Mich
igan, where by most laborious effort, he ac-
CURED a small property worth about $4,000.
Recently he returned to Missouri with a view
to rescue his wife who was still in slavery, but
he was unfortunately seized and thrown into
Jail. AT the date Of the letter he was in the
hands of a negro trader, who was about car
rying him in a few days to the far South
Some effort was made to save him by raising
the money demanded for him 5000, but the
trader swore that he would not sell him.

THE FAMINE IN IRELAND.
Correspondence Of The New York Tribune.
nnnrIN Oct o. IoIE

DEAR FRIEND GREELEY: Although not ac-
customed to write for the Press, yet feel
constrained to send you a letter al this time,
on a subject in which | know your heart las
also all your r~eaders,) must be deeply inter
ested. allude to the appalling prospects of
a horrible Jamine in Ireland. You are APP
prised ere this, from English and Irish pa
pers, of the probable failure of the Potatoe
crop in this country. Every day brings sad
confirmation (from various s%ections) of these
fearful apprehensious. My heart is moved
in the deepest solicitude, as these deplorable
tidings com in almost every hour, and | ask
myself whether | can feel g~uiltless without
at least attempting to do something to arrest
these portending evils. Society is so selfish
ly and antogonistically organized, that men
generally try to keep their souls at ease,
while pursuing their legitimate callings, yet
the excitement here is daily growing more in-
tense, and the Time is Rol distant when a ter
ridc outbreak "s'si be the consequence.

TRYING IL.

A travelling correspondent of the Morning
NeUs, writing from Louisiana, describes a
Christmas frolic of Slaves, and thus sim
proves the circumstance
elbow little is known at the North of
Southern slavery. | cannot doubt, that any
candid man, who would come here and eX-
anime for himself, would decide that the ne
groes are as well off in proportion to their
capacities, as the laborlng population OF any
country In the world. | believe that there
are some millions of free-born Englishmen
who would Jump as high as they are capable
of Jumping, for the privilege of changing
places with them, and rather than starve as
now, they might be willing to take their
wooley heads and shining black faces In the
bargain"
The craven, servile creature! Why won't
some slave-trader black his face (if not black
enough already and sell him off to Texas,
to help extend the area of Freedom by delv-
ing in cane-brakes at nothing a day but a
fogging for support The freedom English
man has a wife whom no brutal master can
violate before his eyes with legal impunity,
and daughters whom no ruflian overseer may
lash in cotton or cane-feldS or constrain to de-
bauchery and brutal licentiousness-the law
sustaining and shielding him. The free
born Englishman' may have too little bread
for his family, but the law is their shield a.
gainst personal injury or degradation; nobody
can sell his wife or children away from his
sight for ever, or drive them to a distant mar
ket chained in gangs as if they were danger
Gus wild beasts. The Englishman's son
who wants bread to day may be Prime Min
lister or Chief Justice before he dies; mean
time his oath must be faken in all the Courts
of his country, against the greatest dignitary,
and may bring to condign punishment the
lordliest tyrant in the land. Why does no.
body petition to be made a slavel Men seek
Death and every other form of calamity ex-
cept Slavery-why do all shrink from Mat7-
One would suppose that some of these
dough faces would take the medicine that
they think must be so pleasant for others.

To Mas. VIRGINIA.

To Mas. VIRGINIA.
Dear Old A~unt-There is
a story circulating about here that you don't
take good care of your children; that you
have no school houses, and don't give them
any education, but let them grow up like wild
asses colts. TIT newspapers are telling
round that you have nearly sixty thousand of
grown-up white children in your family that
can't write or read their names. Now, good
old Aunt, that is rather a hard story. Our
mothers here tell US that you had the best
setting out of the whole American family of
thirteen sisters; that you had the largest and
best piece of land in the whole homestead,
and that you have always dressed and lived
in an aristocratic fashion looking disparaging-
ly at your younger and poorer sisters, who
were Obliged to wear homespun and live on
johnny-cakes and roast potatoes Now what
do you think the world will say of you,
If you go on raising up a large family
of children in this way? Suppose that your
sixty thousand grown up men and women,
who can't read their a, b. c., should get to-
gether some day, and the little black children
that 90 to our schools should point at them,
and say, There! look! there are some ofthe
children Of old, proud aristocratic Virginia,
who is always Boosting of her noble descent,
anu Vi WHAT ncG uedu IeldliOHS ulu! lHeT6
they stand, tall men and women, and can't
read, can't write, can't spell bag or baker
proud as Lucifer, Dragging all the while OF
their mother, but can't spell her name, nor
their own neither!" Now, dear old Aunt,
wouldn't it hurt your feelings TO stand by and
hear little black boys and girls with primers
in their hands, say such things of every
twelfth son, and daughter Of yoursl to see
| tl,arn ,nipt chair Il RI Gnnarc ot Than, in this
way! don't want to say any thing to hugl
your feelings, but if you go on in this way
much longer, you will not only be ashamed
of your children, but they will be ashamed Of
you, and deny that you was ever their moth
er.
With sorrowful respect,
am your
dutiful nephew,

o. Nicholas Worthington of Md, lately
deceased, left an estate valued at nearly a
quarter Of a million of dollars. He was an
extensive Shareholder, though how many hui
man beings he claimed as his property we
have not yet been able to learn.
The following provision is made in his
will in reference to his slaves:
All the slaves belonging to the deceased
are manumitted, with the exception of five
superanuated negroes, who are to live upon
either of two estates mentioned, as they may
choose, and who are to be supported without
labor, the remainder of their lives. The
slaves of sixteen years of age are to be free
in six months; the younger slaves, when they
attain that age, and until they are sixteen they
are left the property Of their mothers. "Big
Airy" is free from the day of his death-the
children of ''Dorcas'' are free at eleven years
Of age-the children of " Little Airy" are free
at eleven years of age. His slave Charles
receives his freedom Immediately and 1000
dollars. Henry receives his freedom immedi-
ately and a legacy of 500 dollars. To six
teen of his negroes he has left $50 acres of
land in Carroll county, to be equally divided
among them. To Little Bill he leaves 20
dollars a year for ten years. To seven OF
his negroes a legacy of 40 dollars each. To
fourteen of his negroes he leaves a legacy OF
80 dollars each.

FRIENDS EDITORS:
As it is desirable that the truth
should be known upon all subjects, | have ia
ken the pains to address to Joseph Dutton, Of
Hanover, In this county, certain interogatorios
relative to the rumor which has been abroad
representing that a daughter OF his, q. Dut-
ton,) who deceased some months since, left
to her father her dying testimony against All
by Kelley, J. @. Wattles, and their measures
of reform. To those inquiries, the parent
who was the bedside attendant Of his sick
daughter, and says no one had a better oppor-
tunity Of knowing her sentiments than he,
replies that no such ad vice was ever commit
ted to him or others, to his knowledge, by
his said daughter. He knows of 10 founda-
ton for such a report, as respects Abby Kel-
ley. In relation to 10. Wattles, touching his
community doctrine, she, like many Others of
his friends, believed him to be too much of u
Meorist. Against the character of either, or
against the anti-slavery movements she had
nothing to say, but on the contrary remained
a devoted friend of the cause of the oppress-
ed.

to serve an unrighteous cause. B. b. D.

The Louisville Morning Courier talks idly
when it asks us to gather information on the
subject of slavery by personally visiting Ken
lucky. To what end should we do thls!--
We have never doubted that Kentucky mas
tiers generally treat their Slaves with such
kindness as the relation permits--our objec-
ton applies to the system Of Slavery, and
the IdtOs by which that system is upheld
These we can comprehend as well in New
York as in Kentucky, and they cannot be less
than internal any where. Laws which allow
one man 10 sell another man a thousand miles
away from his wife, and their children FIVE
hundred miles apart in other directions, with
out right or hope of reunion-which allow
men to beat, ravish or even murder women of
the degraded caste with impunity in the pres
euce of a,dozen witnesses of their own color
if there are none of the ruling caste TO testi-
fy against them-laws which give to a white
drunkard and gambler all the earnings of an
ingenious and industrious black family for
life, with privilege to fog them into the bar
rain-these loUs are hateful to God and per-
nicious to mankind, although the abuses they
tolerate mag not in all cases be perpetuated.
The general rule stands, that a people ara
seldom better, but often worse, than the laws
under which they live; and where the laws
