to the left. Now, TO bring this matter TO a
very plain issue, let US ask,-What does
South Carolina wantl The answer is, she
wants TO possess the slavery Of the South,
and the prosperity Of The North or, in other
words, she asks for an impossibility. She
desires TO be rich without being ind
she desires results without means. Her pol
iticians are foolish enough 10 imagine that by
some hocus pocus tricks Of legislation, they
can turn rivers of gold into their own state,
without being The natural or the legal mas
tiers Of the sources of all this wealth. They
read history backward, political economy
backward, and chop their logic Backward
Water is always running up hill in the nod
die OF a cotton-bale reasoner. In fact, the
most OF these gentlemen have long labored
under a logical dropsy of the brain. A slight
tapping of the skull would show how small
a traction OF an idea is commonly swimming
in the thin juice of their understanding.
South Carolina would be rich, like New
England, and because she is not rich like
her, she thinks herself defrauded. Whose
fault is ii but her own that she is poor! The
Legislation Of the federal government has been
controlled for her especial benefit. %Institu-
tons have been cut down for no earthly pur.
pose but to humor her whims. Twice and
three times have the revenue laws been chan
ged TO raise her up, and break down New Eng
land. If the little toe of South Carolina
were trodden upon, she caught up the red
hot poker OF notification, and threatened TO
set fire and break bones. She has had her
way like a froward child, and like a froward
child she is still ponting and whimpering.-
A good application of the birch in season
would have prevented all this, and taught the
spoiled minion better manners.
South Carolina wishes TO be rich. But
how can we make her rich If a hundred
millions Of coin were taken from Massachu-
sets, carted 10 South Carolina, shot down on
the ground, and left there, it would all find
its way back again. Money will go to those
who work and earn il; wealth will follow in
dustry, whether of an individual or Of a ma
ton. No laws, no tariffs, no Southern con.
federacies, will ever be able TO keep wealth
in South Carolina, as long as her detestable
slave-system makes industry dishonorable.-
The mountain stream seeks not the ocean
with a switler course than riches flow from
the pockets Of the indolent TO those of the in
dusirious. Heaven helps those who help
themselves; but South Carolina calls upon
Hercules, when she should put her shoulde,
to the wheel. Amid the general progress o
mankind, she stands still hugging the filth,
idol of slavery, shutting her eyes TO ever,
moral and political truth, and striving for tn
miserable distinction of being a blind leade
of the blind. She may lead, but we believ
she will find none to follow. If there be any
thing substantial in her menaces of with
drawing from the Union, let them take thi
step at once, and let US not be pestered will
twenty years more of empty rhodomoniade
Let The great goose lay its goose-egg outright
and be done cackling.

The troupe, and said that they could now see

Galveston papers to the 24rh instant

An interesting case was decided by Judge
WATRoUs, of The United States District
Court, sitting at Galveston. Thomas
TOBY sued DAN'L RANDOM on two prom

ceiyed for the notes were slaves, natives

ken 10 Texas in 1885, in violation of the
laws of Mexico. The plaintiff couten.
ded that at the time of the revolution the
negroes were held in slavery. their con.
dition was fixed by the constitution o.

SALEM. OHIO, FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1919.

The revolution TO be effected in the North
American Confedelacy, preliminary to the
abolition Of slavery throughout the earth, is
in the will Of the portion of the American
people already free. They now suffer them
selves TO be told that slavery is nothing to
them, and they sleep in bonds of voluntary
servitude. How long they will SO sleep, II
will be Of no use for me TO inquire. The
day Of their awakening is reserved Tor a fu-
ture age.
] conclude with repeating my best wishes
for the success of your projects for the i'm
provement Of popular education, and that they
may tend, at least indirectly, to that ultimate
improvement, which is still the object oil
my prayers and my homes.

SLAVERY STATISTICs.-The first slaves
introduced into this country were brought
in n Dutch ship Of War, from the coast
Of Guinea, being twenty in number
They were landed, for sale, on James
River, in the Colony of Virginia, August,
l62o-,wo hundred and twenty eight
years ago.
From tina, date, negroes became an ar.
ticlc of traffic, more or less, in al! The
Colonies. At the lime the people Of The
Colonies declared themselves free and
independent ('76) the whole number Of
slaves was estimated at 500, 1000, viz:
Massachusetts $500 Delaware, 5000
Rhode Island, 1873 Maryland, 10000
Connecticut, 5000 Virginia, $500
n. Hampshire, $40 n. Carolina, rs, 900
New York, 10000 S.Carolina ITO 900
New Jersey, 1900 Georgia, $4,000
Pennsylvania, 1000 -
Total, 500, 1888
ln179U there were 697 1897 slaves& So.
AGO free persons of color; in 1900 there
were 893.04l slaves; in 1910, 1.lOl,.
364; in 1890, l,538,054; in 1880, 2,0O9,.
O31; and in 1910, 2,497, 1856.
The importation of slaves has been
prohibited by Congress since 1908, and
the increase from 1910 10 1910, which
has more than doubled in twenty years,
has been from natural causes.
On the Fonrth day Of July, 1870,
Slavery existed in all The American Col.
onies. Since then il has been abolished
in seven ofthe old states; and eight OH
err free states, and nine other slave states
have since been admitted into the Union.

10 speak from the spirit-land its words Of
truth, has recently been communicated 10 the
Burlington (Vt.) Courier, by Ex-Governor
Slade, TO whom it was addressed. 1t will

the deep adherence Of human slavery cher

Quincy, Mass, August -, ls47.
WV. SLADE, Esq.
Ny dear Friend,-I have received your
letter OF the 23d inst, from Saratoga Springs,
and learn with great satisfaction, your con.
%nection with the Educational Movement TO
which you have devoted your future ener-
gies. | wish them all success, and ~particu-
larly all prosperity 10 your exertions in the
cause Of Education, as tributary TO the cause
of human freedom. But my career of active
life ought, perhaps, even at this time, 10 be
entirely closed. 1t is very doubtful whether
| shall be again permitted TO take any part in
the affairs Of this world and at all events |
can take no part in the furtlerance of any
project for the improvement Of education gem
orally.
In the negotiations Of one Of the treaties
between Great b tiiain and Portugal, for the
suppression of the slave trade, | think in the
year lSl3, the Portuguese Minister of State
was very SoIIcliiouS 10 introduce a stlpuIa-
lion to limit the time Of the duration of the
Treaty ; and alter proposing several specific
periods-to none of which the British nego-
liator, Lord Howard de Walden, would a.
gree-the Portuguese Minister of State final
ly requested him TO ascertain from his own
government, TO what period of limitation thew
would subscribe. Lord Howard de Walden
accordingly put the question in a despatch to
Lord DAlIpnFStnn fhpp n c nntp fhA nr;,ieI
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whose
prompt and ready answer was, that the limi-
tation 10 which the British government would
assent was twelve months after the abolition
Of slavery throughout the earth.
The principle thus assumed by the gov
eminent Of Great Britain is the only one that
ever will contribute 10 that great improve
ment Of the condition Of men upon earth, the
abolition Of slavery. II sincerely assumed,
and perseveringly maintained by the govern
ment Of Great Britain, its final contamination
cannot be long procraslinaied. Bat until
sincerely assumed by the real friends Of free
dom as well in England as in these United
States, the cause Of freedom will, as Shak-
speare says,
"Be bound in shadows and in miseries.n

"EL DoRADo."-The New York Day
Book gives the following as the origin Of
this term. The early Spanish explorers Of
South America brosght back, among other
wonderful tales, a story of a country in the
interior of Guinea, where gold was said 10
be SO plenty that the only dress of the king
.5ss a thick layer of the precious meial-a
real /" body coat" put on without measuring,
or cutting. or stitching-but thus: His ma
jesiy's naked carcass was carefully smeared,
every morning, with an unciuous substance,
and was then heavily powdered with gold
dust until no more would stick 10 it and he
was then in full dress, making a very brill
liant and dazzling appearance when the sun
shone upon the sparkling surface. This las
the story goes) was all scraped of every
night, and thrown away as "old Clothes"
not being valued where there was so much
gold that wasn't at all greasy. This distin-
guished parsonage and "eminenily shining
character" was properly called by the Span
iards, "The Gilded One" which is, in the
Spanish language, Ell Dorado" (El, "ihe,"
Dorado, "gilded," or "gilt.') And the
fabulous country was known in Europe as
I" the land of the gilded one,'' and was SO
much talked Of and believed in by the Eng.
lish, that the sage Sir Walter Raleigh once
fitted out an expedition to 90 TO it, but not
happening TO find it, consoled himself by
piracy and robbery on the Spaniards, for
which he was beheaded many years AFTER
wards, and very unjustly, by the king who
commissioned him to. do it.

its permit, give a history Of the daily progress
