The policy Of an enlightened state 70 be over
looked, ffcm any narrew-Ininded parsimony;
nor. on the other hand, has she diyergad into
that path Of wild and profiigate expenditure
which has isd other States 10 the depths Of bank
rnotcy and reputation. She owes no debt that
Is not amply provided for. Her ordinary annu-
al income is abundantly sufficient TO meet her
annual expenses; and this, too, without the inn
position of any State tax upon the people, and
without the necessity OF resorting TO any new
loans.
And, doubtless, her greatness and growth re-
suit, wholly, from this wise and liberal State
policy. Aud thus will it ever be with any State
which makes education universal, and makes it
approximate, SseS 10 what it should he. We
cannot educate the mind. without giving to the
muscles a new vigor. We cannot make peo-
pie intelligent, and thereby inventive, without
adding tenfold to their resources. We cannot
give universal moral insight without ensuring
to humanity loftier progress, and a more ele-
waited character. Let Kentucky spend larS
sums for charitable institutions, LEI her endow
and aid schools, let her permit great point OF
policy to BE- overlooked, from timidity or any
narrow minded Parsimony, while she avoids
prohigate expenditure, and wild or rash schemes

Portugal.

Royalty is at a low ebb in Portugal. IL can
not defend itself, or make Roadway against a
rebel force.
But this promises well both for monarch and
people. There Is now prospect of peace, which
could not be, while the Court had power to
maintain its position. Out Of the weakness Of
the King, grows the strength of the people.
At the last accounts, 1--WE suppose all our
readers know that for some time Portugal has
been rent by internal brOil) the ROyalits, by ad-
vice of the King, had determined to settle all
home difficulties without further bloodshed-
This is WELL The Northern insurgents were
triumphant-had seized the only steamer be-
longing to the Queen-and, without foreign aid,
would have beaten the Royal finily of POr-
tugal.
But the terms of this settlement-that will
be- the difficulty. The Queen will grant all she
can, with her notions; the people may demand
more than Eoreign. powers, think is Just. Ne
suppose, however, that John Bull, through the
grand seymour, will arrange matters very much
as he pleases.

GREGG.

King Ohio is a puPpet. Hedances as Grecian
generals direct, or when foreign powers order
A poorer slave there does not exist, on earth
than King Ohio of Greece.
Greece is now a sort Of battlefield for France
alS~England. The Soul has the advantage in
influence. The Englishman own the money
power King Ohio wishes to DO what France
says; England says TO him, pay what thou
owest, and he is obliged to heed her. This be-
ing in debt Is bad business even with royal
puppets.
But France has relieved the King, BY agree
ing to pay the interest due England, and thus
this difficulty will be surmounted. Only, how
ever, to make way for another, and another,
and vet another The fact il, Greece is most
wretchedly governed. Nor would Ohio be able
to stand a moment, were it not that this land is
considered a sort of outpost of the East. This
makes French or English supremacy so imPor-
tant in Greece.
Wait, say the Quid-nunce til the Pacha and
Louis Philippe die. Then we shall have rare
work. The struggle will be for Eastern empire
in Europe, and with it wars, long and bloody.
We hope not but we shall see.

Freedom in the soufh.


The courts in the slave States, as general
rule, do their duty, whenever the freedom of the
cOlored man Is concerned, and planters invaria-
bly, sustain them in il.
We are not sure that the following statement
Is correct; but our conviction is, that il Is SO.
negro, some years ago, was delivered up in,
and taken from, Ohio, as a slave, without diff
Guilty, and carried into Louisiana. When there,
he tsd Dis story, interested slaveho in his
behalf, sued for his freedom, and obtained it!
The wtong that was tolerated in Ohio. would
not be submitted TO in Louisiana.
Another instance of a like nobleness Of con-
duct in defence of liberty has occurred in Lou
isiana. On the 18th ul;., case involving the
freedom of a woman aud hsr five children came
up in one of the courts of that State and, after
trial, they were all liberated. The Red River
Republican remarks thereuponss
at is only in a case Of this nature that slave
can be party 10 ii suit in our court, and con-
siderable interest was felt in it. Though slave
holders, our citizens are as adverse TO holding in
bondage any one legally entitled TO freedom as
would be the veriest AEolitionist in the North
and hence the most summary justice was ad-
ministered in the case.
Ii was the first case tried; and the evidence,
which was taken mainly with view to enal1c
the holder Of the negroes n indemnify himself
against iheir vend0r, being clearly In their f.ar
was submitted to the jury without argument,
who at once gave them a verdict.
The woman and her children were, in S0I
slaves in Kentucky. from which State they were
taken 10 the Territory Of Indiana, where they
were indenturcd TO serve twenty years-the law
oi the territory prohibiting slavery for Longer
period
subsequently, they were sold, and their new
owner brought them 10 Mississippi, and again
sold them as slaves for life 10 the father Of the
present, OF. more properly, late owner here.
cone Of the family a boy was left behind
ia Kentucky. and sued for and recovered his
freedom some wears ago, since which time he
has been running a steward on boat.
Not long since, while at our landing, lac fell
into conversation with boy belonging here,
whom he soon discovered TO be his brother He
Informed him of the fact Of the family being
free. and at once took steps that have eventua-
ted ia establishing H. One or two highly re-
spectacle citizens from Indiana were here ns wit
nesses in the case"
The ground Of this decision. We learn, was,
the good old civil law rule-Onet free Arrays free.
These negroes had been taken by their owner
into Indiana. That act gave them their free
dom, and no earthly powereould rob them Of it.
Honor to slave-hOlding judges, and the judiciary
Of a slave State, that thus stand out, manfulIy
in defence Of liberty,
And that steward Of the boat ought to be
remembered lie was A true son and brother
He did his duty well, and there is not planter

A pen.r Nlea..re, or "a ship CanaI.

-
The waters of the Indian Ocean and the Me-
diterranean are to meet and Iningle in one. The
ship canal across the Isthmus Of Suez is de-
termined upon, and the conditions Of the con.
tract are set forth thus
Egypt is to stand i'm the relation of neutral
power: Prussia, Russia, and the United States
are invited to respect this neutrality guaranteed
by the Porte, France, England, and Austria, the
contracting parties. The las; three are to charge
themselves with the construction Of the cana,
aud are 10 receive a tonnage duty until thew are
completely reimbursed for all their expenses.
The execution of this work il not TO be inter
rupted. even if war should break out between
the contracting parties. Austria Is also to UNI
dertake the work of making the Nile Navigable
for large vessels as far up as Damietta, which is
destined TO become great port England is to
turn her attention especially to Suez, and to
make excavations there similar to those at Da-
mietta, and with FrRnce is to construct the ca
nal
Suppose We should turn our attention, in like
spirit, to cutting a ship-way across the Isthmus
Of Darien! We could have little rivalry as TO
that. Let the west see IL it cannot Guido the east
in making ship-canal. This certainly would be
better than throat-cutting, bombardment, blow
mgs-up on sea or land, and that wholesale
butchery which war ever causes.

We Ike 10 hear of States ia this Union doing
their whole duty in a spirit Of enlarged wisdom.
and TO know that none but the very best conse-
quences, socially and morally, flow from it.
We want such examples. Other States may be
slow TO follow ia the path NO brightly trod; but
they will do il, la the end, as the only ono
which can lead to a sure progress and a Perma-
nent prosperity.

a disciplined, well-directed, and intelligent NOR

genias, the general comfort and Independence
of her people, aud her sclf-made pecuniary
ability.
What is there. indeel, Tor which Massac hu-
sets Is not remarkable Her soil is lined with
railroads. Her ships dot every sea- There is
no State that does not feel the spfiag of her
commercial activity, no cline that dOes not
know her enterprise w hile she completes with
Great Britain in manufactures at Calcutta, she
buys and re-bulds railroad in Michigan, or
loans money TO the 0hiOans TO complete the
iron link between their great river and greater
lake. There is no market, home or foreign, in
which her caPitalis not felt; no State where
her men and women are not at work in shop or
on farm, in pulpit, platform, or press, doing
something &c make the country and the world
better and richer
Whence has she acquired this eminencsl--
How has she attained this growth and powerl
One Of her own sons says of her:
She has spent, and Is still spending, large Sums
Of money for tho establishment and support OF
