WENDELL PHILLIPS.

These hours represents for us the greatest
day in the sweep of time; when nearly a NIL
lion of letters were stricken from human
limbs when, as lamartlne has SO beautiful
~ said, "Wibetforce went up TO tie throne
Of the Eternal with a million Of broken lct-
teIs in his hands, as evidence Of a LIE well
spent" (AppIapse,) Such is the day we
commemorate. This is the reform, the great
Anti-SIavery reform, whose fruits we ceIe-
brate to-day.
The anti-slavery enterprise was the normal
school Of all reforms; it was the first effort
of the English people TO effect a great nation
al change by moral means. This was the
effort which first taught the people their
strength. Previous changes had been wrought
by Government, few to be sure, and lnslgnih'
cant, and in the wrong direction by the high
er classes struggling for their own rights, by
violent means; and just so lar as lhey TOOK
the sword relied on violence, these had been
failures. West India emancipation is the
civic crown which the British middle class
wins for its broW-wins by no official intln-
ence-not by wealth-not by party organi2t-

SLAvEHoLDING TRoUBLEs.-While passing
down the Ohio River four years since, we
came in contact with two Kentuckians who
stepped on board at MaysyiIle. One of them,
a vinegar visaged old man, we ascertained,
had lost som of his "peculiar property"
who took it into their hoads one morning to
put their locomotive in motion in HE direc-
lion Of the Free States. The other was a tall:
rawboned, real son of Kentucky, who could
blaze away at the abolitionists one moment,
and crack Jokes with them the next. He had
followed two boys who had escaped from the
old man referred 10, as far as Sandusky, Ohio,
had them arrested and put in confinement,
but from iniorinality or want of proof, the Up
shot Of the matter was, That they were %releas-
ed, and he was placed in durance vile. Aflet
remaining a day or two, however, he wal per-
mitied to depart, with the ~paymen, of the
costs.
While on a recent visit TO Ripley, we men.
toned The circumstance TO a friend residing
there, who observed that he, was well ac.
quainted with the old man and his associate,
that he had lost all his slaves, valued at So
500, hut one old woman, and had spent aboui
81 900 in f%ruitlcss attempts TO recover them.
On remarking to his'old slave tina, all the 9th
ers had left, she replied, "Yes, massa, all
The niagers, gone but you and me-"
He now hires his work done and he told
our friend not long since, that he gets along
about as well "a when he depended on hi,
slaves to do it.-Mercer (Pd.) Euninary.
