immense fortune in buying and selling the
bodies and souls Of his fellow men and trans.
ferrlng them from the comps ralive ease and
comfort of a slaves life in the Northern Slave
States TO the terrible seventies Of the cotton,
sugar and rice plantations of the South--a
doom which they dread often more than death A.:
separating husbands and wives. parents and
children, regardless Of their entreaties-this
man is euIogized in the papers of the South
as " an honorable and upright man." a prod

man race e.! Yes, this soul-hardened bar

-" treasures Of gold
Were dim with the blood Of the hearts he
had sold,

No doubt" says the New Orleans Tropic.
he often contemplated with delight, the cha
racter and usefulness Of his immortal name
sake, Benjamin Franklin, and resolved in his
own mind to initiate his bright example in
an effort TO scatter good among his fellow
men," Had he lived" continued the same
authority, Sin the remote times of early
Greece and Rome, his fame would have de-
scended to US in the genius of the far-famed
lyric poets, who adorned those classic lands {:
and have been embalmed for Immortality in
the living pages of Thucydides or Livy, or
Tacitus." To crown all, he is represented
as a "I0orthy Christian" who has been trans
ierred IRON a scene where suffering is pre-
dominant, TO A STATE OF PERFECT BEAT1-
TUDE."
Eulogy like this bestowed on a negro ira
der whose wealth was % dyed in human gore
and stepped in widows tears and who left
the world without one expression of regret,
still less of penitence, for his life of villany,
may well convince us that Coleridge was
right when he said that
"Earth's renown is famous;
Her titles slanderous names-her praise re-
proach."
IT such men can get to Heaven by relin-
gushing at death a portion of their il .gotten
wealth to be disposed of by a clerical execu-
ter, it seems to us hardly fair to exclude any
body, however corrupt or wicked, from that
happy place. We agree with the sailor who
exclaimed on seeing a Slave whip and wit.

War Taxes.

A correspondent of the Troy Post, sur-
gests the following new subject Of taxation
to the consideration of Congress, in lieu of
the demolished Tea and Coffee tax:
Zone penny a blow for every stripe laid
on the back OF a slave, 10 be paid by his mas
ter, would. be a proper tax at this time. The
slave sellers got up this war, so that they
might continue 10 be able 10 inhict these
'peculiar" stripes, and consider it a great
luxury. Why shouldn't they be taxed /"
OF The Anti-SIavery enterprise is an es.
sential instrumentali,y in keeping a public
conscience alive TO the wrong done to those
in bonds, and in preserving the freedom that
is enjoyed by other classes. Did the common
people understand and appreciate it. they
would recognize it as their friend, as well as
the friend of the slave, and give it a cordial
and jealous support. Though they often OPP
pose itand defend slavery, Shareholders would
look upon them with contempt, were the Sla-
boring at the South. 1t is labor that they
despise, and would make mental and dishon-
orable.-Practical Christian.
NEGRo Observation-Disclosures, of the Lit

some weeks ago of this work, then forthcom-

The appearance of such a work at the South
at the present time is a sure Indication that
the consciences of men involved in Slavery
are not altogether at ease. IL you see a man

IMPORTANT TO STEAMBoATs.-A decision
Of the Supreme Court, says the New Orleans
Bulletin OF The 9th inst, recently endered in
the case of Spaltlng Us. steamer Missouri, is
believed to be the first in this State, where a
steamboat has not been held liable for carry
ing off a slave. A singular fact was disclo-
sed, viz a slave so white that he would
pass anywhere for a white man, and who was
supposed to be such when he was taken in
10 the employ Of the steamer and carried out
of the State. The slave had been permitted
to hire himself on boats trading TO places
where slavery does not exist, and TO remain
there Till he chose to leave, and the Court
expressed great doubts whether his master
could exercise any acts of ownership over
him afterwards .-[Signal.
