SLAVE PROPERTY.

"Ho
burgh Gazette ofthe 18th: 1t exhibits a bat
state of feeling in that city. Under the
constitution and laws of the U. States
slave property is guaranteed due protec.
tion, but some northern communities seem
destitute of all respect for law:
Our city was yesterday morning the sceLe
of much excitement, in consequence of an
attempt made to carry off a slave belong.
ing to Joseph Logan, of Winchester, Va.
ltseems that the slave has been some weeks
a fugitive from his master and during this
time has been a resident of this city. Last
evening his master, accompanied by two
other persons from his town, James John
son and George Kramer, arrived in town,
and put up at the Monongahela House. By
some means the officers, with aid received
in the city, decoyed the slave into one of
the chambers in the third story of the Ho-
tel, where he was confronted by his mas
ter. The scene here, we are told, was a
most exciting one. He cried loudly for re-
lief, when seized by the officers, and was
heard all over the immense establishment.
The noise caused much alarm and excite
ment amongst its numerous inmates. In
the mean while, the colored population of
the city became by some means appraised of
what was going on, and a large body of
them gathered around the entrances of the
Hotel, ready to rescue the slave from the
grasp of the owner and officers, who short
ly afterwards mado their appearance with
the slave in custody, at the private door of
the Hotel, intending to convey him on board
the steamer Clipper No. 2, then ready to
leave the wharf. The moment the man an
Peared, a regular rush was made to his res
cue. One of the officers, (Kramer,) was
knocked down, though but slightly injured.
MIR. Johnson also received a blow. In the
meantime, the slave made his escape, and
has not since been seen. His name is Dam
iel Lockhart, and his friends have sent him
far beyond the reach Of master or over
seer.
The next scene after the escape of the
slave who was borne off under the protec-
tion of a body guard of his friends, was at
the Independent Police office, before Alder
man Steele, where n commitment was made
INV ~ "'utaiut SousCnt, tbC vase was
brought before the District Court, Judge
presiding, upon a writ Of Habeas
Corpus.
MIR. Bigham acted as counsel for the
and Messrs Burt, Eyster and
Snowden for the defence. The arrest Of
master and his associates was made I'M
der the recent kidnapping laws of this
State, where it is made a penal offence to
attic pit to rescue 3 slave in a ~riotous, tu-
multuous, or unreasonable manner. The
of the Court was taken up in an ex-
animation Of witnesses, among whom wer,
the proprietors Of the Monongahela House.
and several colored persons, in behalf of
the prosecution.
The case rested yesterday with the ex-
animation of witnesses, and will be argued
by counsel this morning upon the motion
to grant a Habeas Corpus.
The case excites a good deal of interest
in the city, and we forbear comment upon
it for the present.
Messrs. Logan. Johnson, and Kramer
were allowed to give bail for their appear
ance in the sum of $1,000 each.

VERACIrY.-Of all the moral graces
which recommend man or woman, ION is
more purely lovely than truth. There is
such a feeling of confidence and comfort in
our intercourse with those who we know
will not deceive us, that we never tire of
their society. The following paragraph,
one of the waits and strays of the periodi-
cal dress is worthy Of being printed in
gold:-Organ.
"In all your intercourse with society and
the world, strict veracity will gain respect,
while prevarication and falsehood are des-
pissed. Let q strict regard for truth be a
characteristic of your mind, and rest assur-
ed, under whatever circumstance you may
be, that truth is powerful and will ultimate
ly prevail. 1t stands in bold relief, the
child of Heaven, and sis when unadorned,
adorned the most" Be candid in all your
deliberations, and ever bear in mind that
"honesty is the best policy" Let your
operations always be founded on truth, and
you need not fear the frowns of virtue, for
you will remember that veracity is one of
the gems in her crown, and that which
gives ~permanency and beauty to others"

sense enough to hold her tongue when she
has nothing to say"

mind me Of pleasant time,
A season long ago;
The pleasantest I've ever known,
Or ever now shall know.
Bees, birds, and little tinkling rills,
So inerriiy did chime
The year was in its sweet spring tide,
And l was in my prime
I've never heard such music since,
From every bending spray;
I've never plucked such primroses,
Set thick on hank and brae.
I've never smelt such violets
As all that pleasant time
] found by every hawthorn-root-
When was in my prime.
Yon moory down, 20 black and bare,
Was gorgeous then and gay
With golden gorse-then blossoming--
A none blooms n0w-s-day.
The blackbird sings but seldom now
Up there in the old lime,
Where hours on hours he used 10 sing
When was in my prime.
Such cutting winds came never then
To pierce one thro' and thro';
More softly fell the silent shower,
More bslmily the dew.
The morning mist and evening haze
unlike this cold grey rime)
Seemed woven warm Of golden air
When | was in my prime.
And lackberries-so mawkish now
Were finely favored then;
And nuts-such re3dsning clusters ripe
Ine'er shall pull again.

As fruit Of sunniest cline;
How all il altered for the worse

HE REAL SOURCE OF INFLUENCE
The advance Of civilization, the progress Of
worldly affairs, are gradually tending to a
great assimilation between the different class
es Of society; but the poli,icel barriers
may vanish, and the social ones may re.
main in full force, and even with far more
ofnsive stringency than ever, If the re.
serve lit cannot, in all cases, be called the
pride) Of wealth is suffered to remain in
undated vigor. The real source of influ.
ence is sympathy; the only means of exer.
eising it is through sympathy; and we may
bestow aims without end, and have socie.
ties without number, and see no results
from our gifts and our labors till we reach
the hearts Of the poor--and strange hearts
they would be, il the distant nod, and the
formal investigations and the measured terms
in which we are wont to address them, were

The PAsr.-When the act Of reflection
takes place in the mind, when we look at
ourselves in the light Of thought, we discov-
er that our life is embosomed in beauty. Be-
hind us as we 60, all things assume pleasing
forms, as clouds do Ear of. Not only things
familiar and stale, but even the tragic and
terrible are comedy, as they take their place
in the pictures Of memory. The river-bank.
the weed at the water.ade, the old house,
the foolish, person, however neglected in
passing, have grace in the past. Even
the corpse that was lain in the chambers
has added q solemn ornament to the house.

The WORLD HATES PRErENcE NOT PIE.
TY.-It is not true, as this bad writer JDr.
Stylesl is perpetually saying, that the world
hates Piety. The modest and unobtrusive
piety which fills the heart with all human
charities, and makes a man gentle to other,
and severe to himself, is an object of univer.
sal love and veneration. But mankind
hate the lust Of power when it is yelled un-
der the garb Of Piety; they hate canting and
hypocrisy they hate advertisers and quacks
in piety; they do not choose to be insulted !;
they love to tear folly and impudence from
the altar, which should only be a sanctuary
for the wretched and the good.-Sydney

had brought her husband a calm beauty,
and a mind very superior to her destiny, but
angelic piety and resignation armed her
equally against ambition and despair. The
mother Of seven children, who had all died
in the birth, she concentrated in her only
child all the love Of her soul. Yet this
very love guarded her from any weakness
in the education Of her daughter. She pre-
served the nice balance Of her heart and her
mind; Of her imagination and her reason.
The mould in which she formed this youth
full mind was graceful; but it was of brass.
II might have been said that she foresaw the
destinies Of her child, and infused into the
mind Of the young girl that masculine spir-
it which forms heroes and inspires martyrs.
"Nature lent herself admirably to the task,
and had endowed her pupil with an under.
standing even superior to her dazzling beau

which she has herself traced the principal
features with infinite ingeniousness in the

quently acquired from repeeased love, high
thought, ard misfortune.

rather to encourage her in asking any ques-

obtain clue to the very extraordinary state
