AnO. her Case.

The man-huntcrs are active. Our city is
infested with a set of iends who are fattening
on the price of human blood.
wednesday, another slave-case was brought
before Esq. Snelhaker, who seems to hold
office for the special benefit of claimants Of
negroes. The person arrested was a colored
woman who has resided, we understand, in
Cincinnati, for the last ten or twelve years.
Mr.. Henry Lewis generously gave bail for
her appearance in the sum of $1,000, and the
trial was postponed till to-day. Much excite
ment prevails.
The brutal attempts to enforce the DISCUS
ting claims of Slavery in our quie: city are
producing their Legitimate effect. Let the
Shareholders do what honest men on this
side of the river are in the habit of doing
pay fair wages to their laborcrs and these
scenes of violence will no longer be enact
ed.-ib.

Father Mathews Residence.

Mr.. Schouler, editor of the Lowell Jour
nal, thus describes his visit to Father Ma
thew:
ale lives in a hack, out-ofthe-way por-
ton OF the city, up a narrow street, amidst
the poor of his country, to whom he has been
the greatest of benefactoIs. As we stopped
at the door, we saw Father Mathew in the Sc
cOnd story. lie came down, and when we
announced ourselves as strangers from Ameri-
ca, he gave us a warm welcome TO his hum
BILE dwelling. We went to his room, which
was small; and he invited us to tea.
"There were two or three fine paintings Of
a religious character hanging on the wall a
comfortable, sideboard, and six chairs CON-
pleted the furniture of the room. Father
Mathew is a short, thick-set, yet finely form

Free Produce Association.

Although the meetings of this Association
have been for a time suspended, yet it is be-
lieved that the friends of the enslaved have
not lost sight of the object for which it was
organized. The persevering efforts of indi-
viduals in the west, and the associated action
in some of the eastern commercial cities, with
a view to multiply facilities for ensuring more
adequate supplies Of goods, &C., not contain
mated by slave labor or produced by oppres-
sion, it is believed clearly indicate the propri-
ETY. Of calling a meeting of the Free Pro
duce Association of the West"
The friends of the slave, and advocates OF
abstinence from the use of slave grown pro-
duce, are respectfully called to meet in Con.
v%ention at Salem, Union co., Ia, on the 2Stl
of 10Th month next.

"GUncOnstituiiOnality Of Slavery


Some one has sent US a copy of a twenty
five cent edition Of this work. Probably it
came from the Boston publisher, Bella Marsh,
We have not had time to read it, but by a
basty ulance. we can see that ii is an ingeni-
Gus, lawyer-likc argument, which has for its
Foundation the abstract definition of law,
which can be found only in some of the
shcep.skin covered volumes in a lawyers
library. Substitute for this abstraction the
practical, universal definition Of law, whose
existence every body recognizes, and the the
DRY which Lysander Spooner has built, crum-
bles to the ground. Had we biddena man
on the highway ''stand and deliver" we
would like some legal advocate to make as
ingenious, and guilt-t overing an argument as
we ludre the "Uncoustitutionallty of Sla-
very'' to be. The plain truth of the matter
is, the Constitution is pro-slavery, was de-
signed to be SO by its trainers, and is so re-
garded by its supporters, and no argument
can prove TO the contrary, however ingenious
and p~uzzling it may be. If any of our rea-
ders want to learn the history and character
of that blood stained document, we would
refer them, not to Iysander Spooner's argu-
ment of defense, but to those portions of the
Madison papers which contain the declara-
tons of the men who made it, as to what
they designed it to be, and of the men W he
adopted it, as to what they understood it

A MILITARY FARCE.--Some of the Co
thamites recently resolved 10 present swords
to Major Hawkins and Lieutenant Morris,
as testimonials of the appreciation in which
they held their proficiency in butchering the
Mcxicans at Pako .4Ho and De la Palma. The
presentation day was fixed the time arrived,
and the people assembled to witness the per
formance. But alas the heroes Were not pres
ent, and the swords had necessarily to be ac-
cepted by proxy. This was not all one OF
The swords was not finished so it also had

but the unfinished weapon It represented.

BOWLING FOR THE DIBLE.-The proprietor
of a temperance nine-pin alley, in Charles
town, s. c., offers Harper's illustrated Bible
as a prize for 300 pins. A new feature in
nine-pins.
Why not! A book whose clerical ex-
Founders assure us sanctions slavery, wine-
bibbing, and choaking to death on the gal

place as a n%ine-pin alley prize, if its charac-
ter be rightly delineated by the American
clergy.

o. The Bayou Sara (La.) Ledger, edited
by our old friends DR.. Norris and Mr.. Dou-
glas, in copying paragraph from this pa
per relative 10 some of the extravagant
schemes proposed to our Legislature, ap-
ponds the following comments
We will merely drop word or two on
the internal Improvement mania which
seems to be the legitimate successor of the
late banking maRia. The banking system
was no novelty previous to its being the
pet of demagogues few years ago. Its
disastrous effects were known in other
countries as well as our own before it was
embraced here. Politicians, it seems, will
take neither experience or reason for
guide, but shut their eyes and plunge
headlong into the errors, if not deliberate
swinding rascality of their predecessors
Internal Improvements are now the rage.
We take no lesson from the experience
taught US by the folly and extravaganza o!
Great Britain, but as old Johnny Bull has
cried ban, and plunged into the ditch, there
seems to be prevailing propensity 10 this

will merely cite the Eastern Rail Road as
an example of the projects in contem-
plation, the object of which seems to be to
divert portion of the trade now centre
ing at New Orleans, from Vicksburg,
Memphis, and Natchez, TO Charleston S.
C. The absurdity of such project is re-
ally too preposterous to be seriously com
batted. The productions of Mississippi, Al
ALBANIA, Georgia, and South Carolina are
the same, with the exception of a little
rice produced in the latter two Ates
which is consumed in the former two
Well then if this road were now built, what
would supportit? We cannot give the an

desire to hear it.
A word on the lereeimg system, and we

to us that the time has not yet come, anc
we doubt whetherit ever will, when the
government should attempt at once any

Com CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY, ! !.

GF'Our Congressional summary, is =,
70 the % February. On that day, Mr. !
thompson, of this State, addressed III,
House IN an able, argumentative speech
IN favor of the notice for the termination q
the JOINT occupancy of Oregon. We will
lay this speech before our readers in . Fl.
ture number. 1t is still coniectured thai
one, or more, of our members will vote
against the notice. We hope not.
Inc debate in the Senate was to have
commenced on the 10th instant.
The protracted debate in the House has
ufa"n forth much talent, and many ebul.
lltIons OF patriotism. The burden of mos,
OF the speeches seems to be, the chances
and probabilities of war-aightful pictures
OF the horrors Of conflict, on the one hand
and heroic delineations of the gories of tri-
umPhant arms on the other-with shrewd
conJectures as 10 what John Bull will doin
this case or that. Wherefore these bodings
about the course of Great Britain? Can !,
be that there are those among us ready to
tSHP Oii0C Win Va tdIlSIy submit TO the de-
mands of any foreign power! The oues-
ton, and the only question that should be
considered by an American statesman. in
any difference. that may arise between our
government and any other, is, WHAT ARE
OUR RIGHTS! This being settled. disclaim.
ing all the petty arts of diplomacy, it is his
duty to step forward boldly in vindication
and maintenance of those rights. We do
not believe The evils of war have been, or
can be, overrlted. But to surrender the
national rights, by circumscbing the limits
OF the Republic, is dsgraceful and degrad-
ing-a thousand times worse than war,
with all its attendant evils and horrors.
Our statesman agree, with singular una
nimity, that our title to the whole of the
Oregon territory up to the Russian line, if
no. clear and unquestionabe,' las some
deny,) is at least better than that of any or
all other nations. Why, then, surrender
those rights to the chances of diplomacy,
or expose them to the hazard of timid and
unjustifable 'inactivity!'
The people viii! eventually consign to
political infamy those who would do great
deuiment to the Republic.

n.-Anew nost.offce called Last Chanc

o. new post-ofice called Last Chance
has been established on Cola, in this coun-
ty, told stage road, and w. B. Farmer APP
pointed postmaster. The Office is not yet
in operation, but we observe the advertise
ment of new contracts requires the mail
to be delivered there. 1t was much need
ed, and will create no additional expense
to the department.
Speaking Of mails, we may as well mem
ton that the new contracts do not propose
any reduction of the mail facilities in this
section. 1t is proposed to reduce the stage
route to two instead of four-horse coaches
to be run by about the same schedule.
The stages rarely pass here with a full CON-
plement of passengers, and we presume
the new arrangement will meet the wants
of the travelling community, while it will
be material saving to the department.

OF all preposterosities we have ever yet
seen, this new scheme is the most prepos-
ferrous. Its provisions are too rdiculously
absurd to deserve serious notice, and we
only wonder that members could have
heard the bill read without laughter.
