ested generosity has made an impression on
my heart tina, time can never eface, and my
prayer shall ever be, that have il in my
power TO make more ample demonstration
Of my feelings than now have means to
express and"
mot at all, not ALL" said the old gent,
whose eyes now grew moist as his tongue,
and he could have Rugged the remorse-
stricken evil-doer as very apostle. "Don'l

by knowing the good I've DONE"
"My intention by this visit" said The
stranger, very sacredly, "is to return my

ANTI-SLAvERv FEELING IN VIRGINIA The
Richmond Southerner, by no means an adolf
ton paper, holds the following language in re-
lation to public sentin, hi in Virginia, on TIE
subject of Slavery:
at is not generally known, yet il is never
theless tue, that two thirds of the people OF
Virginia are open and undisguised advocates OF
Kidding the State of Slavery; and, after the
year 1880, when the census is taken, their views
will be embodied in such form as 10 startle
the South. We speak understa ndingly. We
have, within the last tw years. conversed with
over five hundred SHAREHOLDERS in the State;
and four hundred and fifty out Of the FIVE humid
red expressed themselves ready TO unite on any
general plan to abolish Slavery upon almost
any terms. Abolition fanatcsm at the North
has not produced this, but the annexation OF
Texas and the acquisition of territory have
done it. Virginia may be put down as no long,
reliable on this question. When she goes the
District of Columbia is a free territory; then
Delaware and Maryland will also 60, and N.
Carolina and Kentucky will follow suit. This
will surround the extreme South with free
States, and when that day comes and it will not
be very long, We would just as lief own par
Gel of wild turkeys as so many slaves. We
may continue this subject in our next, certain
ly we shall farther consider it,"
