THRILLING FACTS.

We find the following in the New-York OBJ
server, forming part Of a letter from Washing
ton:
Look at some Of the outrages protected by law
even in the enlightened city of Richmond Not
long ago free colored girl living in Manches-
tea, near Richmond, paid visit to a friend in R.,
and happened to remain all night On the Rich
mond side of the river She was arrested by
some officers and imprisoned. Igonrant OF the
law, friendless and alone, she was kept IN jail
lorty-hye days, and then, by order of court sold
for forty five years to pay the sum OF iorty-lve
dollars, Jail feesl A negro-trader bought her
and carried her to the far South, where she was
sold again into hopeless captivity And all this
perpetrated on a poor, helpless girl, whose very
weakness should have secured the protection of
some mercih heart and strong arm. The ac-
count of this may be found in the Richmond
Wbic. in which it was published at the time
What n system! Yet how many vote to extend
IN Sometmes-indeed, quite often-a poor
woman may be seen going from door to door in
this district with a subscription to buy her
freedom!' in sight of the temple of liberty on the
captoline hill A few days since, such paper

PARDON OF DELLA WEBSTER.

This young woman has at length been par
doned, and is on her way to Vermont in compa-
ny with her father The considerations which
induced Gov OwsIey to pardon her, says the
Frankfort Commonwealth, were various. He
had received a great many petitions, not only
from the people, but large number of the men,
bers Of the Legislature, of all political parties,
and embracing every member Of the com
mittec on the Pententlary in each House, pray
ing her pardon.
Fairbank, the principal in the case, has been
convicted and placed in confinement.
The condition of the Penitentiary, owing tc
the destruction ofthe buildings by fire, made il
extremely inconvencnt to retain her in confne.
ment, even if other considerations had not fully
justified her release
The moral effect of the conviction had already
been secured by the confinement she had already
undergone and it was believed the generou;
people of Kentucky could take no pleasure il
her further suffering in the prison.
The same paper states that on her return tC
Vermont she will set about her exculpation from
the charge of which she had been convicted
She declares that although opposed to slavery il
the abstract, she is not and never was an Abol
itonists. She is in favor of colonization. ShC
is, therefor, hostile to all agitation of the slave
State and she designs to make the attempt tt
convince the agitators of the North of the lille
gality, the folly and injustice Of their informed
ding with the question in any way whatever.

From the Albany Patriot,
BALTIMORE, Fee. 20, 1874.

DALIiMORE, EB. ~, 1910
Mr. Editor-Soon after Mr. Torry's arrest
and Imprisonment last June in this city met
an esteemed friend, aman Of some consideration,
and told him that felt an inclination to visit
Mr.. Torrey in his prison, as a mere act of chris
tan duty, to sympathize and converse with him
as friend, though had no acquaintance with
him whatever. The gentleman advised me to
do no such thing-it would be dangerous-peo-
pie would suspect me of something wrong, and
all that sort of blarnery and cowardly hints
mention this little incident to illustrate one fact,
the crdven fear, the shrinking feeling Of many
intelligent, welldisposed men in this latitude,
who wished we'll to Torrey and have no partcu-
lar love for the slave laws, but like your north
ern dough faces, wiH do nothingi Their con
duct, when translated into words, amounts tc
just this: owe hate slavery in the abstract we
think Torrey pretty clever fellow, deluded

% A valued and intelligent friend in Orleans
County, makes the foil wing inquiry Of our mcr-
chants:-
p d" would ask the merchants in montpelier
whether it would not be for their interest to ar
range business in such manner that they will be
able to sell flour, salt aud all other articles as
cheap as they can be purchased in Burlington
could they so do, and let the fact be known lhro
the papers, it would accommodate many purchas-
ers and induce many to go to Montpelier who
now 90 to Burlington for supplies Ii seems to
me that liberal policy on their part would be
well rewarded by the increase of their sales. Let
them think, consult, and see what can be done
then let the public know the result"

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE,

We give our readers the Message this week Ii
has ono redeeming quaIity-Its shortncss, but we
have never seen more hypocrisy and absurdities
crowded into SO small space He speaks of our
glorious free republic. "A are entitled to equal
rights and equal protection. All distinctions OF
birth and of rank have been abolished. All citi-
zens, whether native or adopted, are placed upon
terms OF precise equality" Is Mr.. Polk knave
or e simpleton' Does he not know that there are
three millions of slaves in this country ?-that he
holds more than half hundred of them in the
most ahect soryitude, and that the nations Aag
waved over 'iaue pen, under the very shadow OF
the capital, about the time he was exposing his
hypocrisy? He calls the abolitioniSs misguid.
ed persons" and charges upon them the basesr
motives.
His views in relation to Texas are most absurd
and ridiculous. "May his daysbe few, and anoth.
er take his office"
