Slavery over the Grave.

We are indebted to a valued friend for tho
following incident in one orthQ Counties in
this State:
"a few days since eight of our citizens
gathered together to dig grave for an aged
reighbor who had departed this life. Willis
digging the grave the conversation turned up
on the every where absorbing question:
Slavery. After mutual expression of opin~
ion some one proposed that vote be taken
expressive of the opinions Of those present,
The result was that seven out of the eight
vuiCd umti-slavery! These men were nat
those wlo from sympathy with, and respect
for an anti-sluvery man, had gathered togeihe
or 10 pay this last tribute Of respect to the de-
parted, but they were men called indiscrlninv
ately to dig the grave ofa neighbor not known
as an nnti.slavcry man.
"Ihis liJ!e Incident may serve as an expo.
ncnt OF public sentiment. |, shows what
large portion of our citizens are opposed to
slavery, and are willing to vote themselves
auti-slavcry men. Perhaps this would 10
very near the vote should we average tho
whole Stnte.
This incident shows also, the hold which
the question oi'siavery has upon the public
mind, even on the most solemn occasions,
war, peace, returning volunteers, pending g.
Iectiuns, death of frieudS--nothng bunishcs
the question from tho minds of men. The
world is marching to freedom, and 'revolu4
lions never so backward" "--Loui$rNe (Ky}
Examiner.
And yet, BECAUSE Gen. Taylor happened to
be born aud lives in II slave State some ofouy
northern denngogues pretend not to believe
he is opposed to slavery or its extension,
when he declares,and his personal friends des
clare, Iio is not friendly to either slavery or
It's extension. But we believe man resid-
ing in u slave Stale, and he may be slave
holder, too, he is opposed TO tho extension
