Anti-Slavery Feeling in Virginia.

A recent number of the Richmond South
erner, contains the following article. After
deprecating the existing debates in Congress,
on the subject of slavery, the editor proceeds:
1.-The country proposed TO be coded to US
by the late treaty with Mexico, it should be
remembered, the Almighty has Wilmot Pro-
visoed. Should the free States consent, ($nd
that they never will that slavery shall be
allowed there, still the climate and the coun-
try would forbid it. Why, therefore, should
we contend for that which profteth us not
which we can never possess. Is it not wis
dom on our part TO say TO the North, "we
be brethren; " and il we cannot possess this
property on such terms as will he mutually
agreeable, let us not have it at all. Let US
not take that which must become an "apple
of discoId," and a I" bone of contention =" TO
us and our successors, and which must end
in a separation Of a people whose fathers have
given us so goodiy a heritage.
And now as to this slavery question, fell
low citizens of the South, let us in good feels
ing reason one with another. 1t should be
remembered that Great Britain has abolished
slavery in all her colonies; France, Dem
mark, Sweden. and other countries of Eu-
rope, except Spain, have done likewise. Is
it natural TO suppose that the other Powers
of Europe will long suffer imbecile and en-
feebled Spain to hold on to il? When she
gives way, the entire civilized world, with
the exception of Brazil, will be arrayed
against US on this question. Now, what is
our policy? Is it not wisdom on our part 10
avoid having the question of slavery agitated
in our political institutions The North has
pledg ed itself to maintain intact and inviolate
the compromises Of the Constitution. Let
us, therefore, abandon the acquisition Of ter
ritory, and free ourselves from this untoward
difficulty.
1t is not generally known, yet it is meyer
theless true, that two-thirds of the people Of
Virginia are open and undisguised adpucates
Of Kidding the State Of slavery ; and, after the
year 1850, when the census is taken, their
views will be embodied in such form as to
%startle the South. We speak understand
ingly. We have, within the last two years.
conversed with more than five hundred slave
holders in the State and four hundred and
fifty out Of the five hundred expressed them
selves ready to unite on any general plan to
abolish slavery upon almost any TERMS
Abolition fanaticism al the North has not pro-
duced this, but the annexation of Texas and
the acquisition of territory has dope it. Viz
ginia may be put down as no longer reliable
on this question. When she goes, the Dis
= trict Of Columbia is free territory then Della

Carolina and Kentucky will follow suit

time remained after their daily allotted tasks
were finished, they were allowed to have for
themselves and these precious hours they
employed most industrionsly with the view
of purchasing their freedom. When they
had accumulated, by patient toll, a sum which
they deemed sufficient, they endeavored to
negotiate with their master, but without suc-
cess. Again they went to work, and after
two or three years were enabled to offer a sum
so large that they felt almost certain il would
tempt him to accede TO their wishes. But he
found them TO be too profitable to be lightly
parted with moreover, whatever they had nf
property was in reality his. He might, with
perfect impnnity, have taken all their hard
earned wages, and kept them in slavery still,
as thousands of Shareholders had done before
him. But whether he doubted their having
so much money as they pretended, whether
he was too honorable to steal more than
ninenty-nine hundredths Of their earnings,
] know not; at all events, be would not listen
to their proposition on any terms.
Finding they could not purchase liberty,
they wisely resolved TO take it. The enter
prise was a %perilous one, for through a long
line Of slave States, they must run the gaunt-
let of patrols. blood hounds, lynchers. Jail
keepers and rif1es-and if they reached the
States called free, they must dodge constables
and %kldnappers, backed by the glorious Con-
stitution.
They were sufficiently intelligent and
well-informed TO understand the dangers they
would incur and TO devise a most cunning
method of avoiding them.
They made themselves acquainted with a
white beggar, and made him offers, large
enough to secure his secresy. They dressed
him in a handsome suit of clothes, and through
his agency, purchased a carriage and a fine
span Of horses. They brought the carriage
to an appointed place, stood hat in hand when
he entered, and then mounted outside as foot
man and groom. o f%course, no patrol thought
of challenging such an equipage and a white
gentleman travelling through the country, at
tended by his servants, was welcomed at all
the inns. The obsequiousnes of their manners
was an admonition 10 their brethren in bonds.
"Yes, massa." and certainly massa," were
accompanied with the most profound bows,
and spoken in the humblest tones.
The trio arrived in Buffalo unmolested =
there the carriage and horses were sold, and
the white beggar paid handsomely for con-
senting to play the gentleman.
The slaves passed over 10 Victoria's do
minions, whence they wrote a very friendly
letter to their whilom master, begging that h.
would feel no uneasiness on their account, a
they were most comfortably situated.-Mrs
Child.

at the Annual Meeting Of the american and
