A Dissolution of the Union


Between the Wing and Democratic members
of the State Senate, or something very like
il, recently occurred.
1t appears that an Apportionmen, Bill was
before them, which, if adopted, would operate
very injuriously on the prospects Of the De-
mocratic party and as the Wings bad the
majority, and could carry just such bill as
they wished without The aid Of the Democra-
cy. and in spite of their opposition, the mi
nority had no help for it, but to sit still and
see the odious bill pass, or-to use an express
siye phrase, more modern than elegent--to
aLsqu0iuiafe, and thus leave the Senate with
out a quorum. Fifteen of the Democratic
members chose the latter alternative and un-
less they have returned to their duty, are
lodging around the corners Of the streets
Of Columbus, or shooting through its allies,
receiving for their laborious services So per
day Of the peoples money.
This " tempest in teapot" will doubtless
be regarded by some as a terrible tornado;
dIlu NV NVIiAt pblDIG ohulhlHe hShH Wv 'NH
ale chamber of the not un-terrifed fifteen, be
hailed by their party as a glorious achieve
ment in behalf of human rights. Why, there
is already q talk of getting up a 2nd edition
of the Dor rebellion. and trying whether big
Ohio cannot do what little Rhode Island fail
ed in. Now we think the Dor party hid
met AZ ,r,,l d, virbt 10 ,polo a novprnmpnL for
itself as any other party; and if the Demo.
cracy of Ohio want another government, we
shall not object TO their having one, provided
they don't insist upon our becoming a MEM
Der of it unless we wish, and don't tax US
for its support.
We suppose the withdrawal Of the ffteen
was honorable, patriotic, and all that; and
we suppose that a similar movement which
was made by the Wings a few years since,
WAS quite as praiseworthy. But, mercy on us!
whata fuss both Democrats and Wings would
make should the Disunionists ask any portion
of the Senate to Withdraw upon anti-slaveTy
grounds. It's rather hard guessing what they
would do in srch a case. When we asked
the Legislature last winter to help Ohio with
draw from the Federal Union soon as they
recovered from the shock the request gave
Them, they instantly resolved to print an ex-
ira editionof Washington's Farewell Address,
and thus, for a time, saved the Union. Like
as not in the case supposed, they would pub
lish a Presidents Message, documents and
all.

A WHITE SLAVE.

Washington, a white boy, was taken from
Virginia to South Carolina at the age of Sc
ven, and thence to Georgia, and sold to Col.
b.. His daughter, the lady Of a lawyer, re-
lated to me the fact, saying that the little fell
low used 10 tell the story TO their children,
and weep. His tale was this: that his moth
er was very poor, and at a time when she
was sick, he was placed in a ''negro quar-
ter" in the care of a negro woman, and at
night IA man came and tied his feet and hands
and took him on horseback. He wept, and
tried TO scream; but the wretch placed his
hand over his mouth. Col. BIS. wife pro-
hibited his telling the story to the children,
because it made them weep and unhappy

A Query.
all.

\ correspondent near Harveysburg-a CO.
Tered man, and we think formerly a slave
has sent us a communication in which he puts
the query, - What are the objects of aboli-
tionists-what their design? He had sup
posed they were laboring to establish equal
rights without distinction of color. Yet in
Harveysburg, which he says is full of aboli-
,ionists, and not the do-nothing abolitionists
either, as he has heard Liberty party call the
Disunionists, but Uoting abolitionis,s, Liberty
party and Wing abolitionists, and he cannot
tell which of the two evince most prejudice
toward the colored man; and he begins to
fear he has mis-apprehended their Objects
The immediate occasion which led to his ask
ing us the question, he thus states -
THE abolitionists here, have often express
ed strong desires to have the Black Lalcs of
Ohio repealed. They have branded DR.. Har-
yey as anti-aholition, anti-christian, &C., for
putting US in a separate department of the
school Of which he was proprietor. | do not
think they did Mr.. Harvey injustice by such
charges. Well, Harvey's school has come
to nought! Another Seminary has been rear
ed by those very persons who spoke SO hard
against Mr.. II. We thought when this build
ing was being erected, an avenue was open
ing through which we could ascend to the
great field Of intelligence. But alas! what
do we hear!
NO person that has one drop Of African
blood iii him or her, shall be permitted to en-
ter this institutionn
WI not was the question,
If we admit the person that has one drop,
we shall have 10 admit the one with two; il
we admit the one with two drops, We shall
have to admit the right down negroi'
VIVA: does this provel 1t proves what
Liberty party and Whig abolilioniSm is"
The school here referred to, is the one pre-
sided over by the immortal WILSON HoBBs,
an account Of whose shameless conduct to
one of his scholars will be found in another
place, and whose claim to responsibility and
chivalry after such behavior, should be scout
ed from society. If such a school has been
established, and has been sustained by the
influence of protested abolitionis,s, the fact
is a proof that they have no just appreciation
OF the equal rights of all men and for them
to assume the alti-slavery name, while desli-
tute Of the simplest elements of its character,
is certainly wrong. Anti-slavery requires
hDe as well as profession; it demands deeds as
well as words of those who claim to be its
advocates.
Our correspondent also presents a personal
grievance, which he gives as a reason for ask.
ing the question he does. Hear him.

We have been furnished with the follow
ing facts in regard to White Slavery at the
South by a gentleman now there. Such
things are to be expected. He that would
e%nslave a colored person for money, would
also a white person. A conscience that would
permit the one would the other also. 1t was

A few years ago, e ''negro trader" e%xclIan-
ged a colored slave for a little girl. On his
arrival in Alabama, two or three Shareholders
protested that the child WAS white, and final

parents died poor, and that she was sold in

told me this story, says she saw the little

The French Elections.

We have frequently cautioned our readers against
placing reliance upon the accounts of French af-
fairs published in the English papers. Those reck
less supporters of corrupt olgarchy, seeing their
own political regime endangered by the success Of
the French Republicans, find it necessary in order
to sustain themselves to resort to most contempt
BILE system of Justification and abuse. Actuated by
their innate adherence of every thing republican,
these hired traducers have been engaged in a sys-
tematc effort to bring the French Provisional Co.
vernment into contempt, and to excite the hatred
of the people against it, by inventing and rropa-
eating the most infamous ISLANDERS. Against two
members in particular their attacks have been d-
reced-M Ledru Rollin aud Nj. Louis Blanc

.'Ihe returns of the French election are now
completed, and notwithstanding the utmost exer
tons of the French Republicans and Communists,
who left neither fair nor foul means untred to effect
their purpose, the lists exhibit triumphant testl
mony to the popularity of the principles propounded
and acted upon by Lamartine and the moderate
party. Indeed, so clearly and prominently has the
expression of the popular feeling been manifested
that some fears entertained of the minority re-
sorting to Interior measures, order to render the
past proceeding of the Provisional Government un-
gatory."
This can mean nothing else than that at the re-
cent elections the Republican party has been de-
feated, and that Lamartine and his followers are
averse to such form Of Government Of this no
