As the Chronicle s, Sentinel had been on for
mer occasions irrcguarly received at this Office,
we were not entirely certain, it had dropped
our paper from its exchange list though we
strongly suspected the fact. |, is now rendered
certain, however, by the acknowledgement Of
The Editor himself. And our readers will nat.
uraly ask, why? The Editor has not thought
proper 10 give his reasons, but has left us To
conjecture them. We shall not hesitate 10 ex.
efcise this privilege.
Whatever may be tho pretended reasons
hereafter put forth by the Chronicle Sf Sentinel,

Electro Plating.

Any one who will pay visit To Mr.. HENRY
GRAY's Office in this Village may sec some
beautiful specimens of Plating, executed by
this Gentleman. The plating is done by Elec-
tro. Magnetism with the battery Of the Torpedo
Mr.. GRAY has gone TO considerable expense in
fitting up apparatus for the purpose, and has
already acquired great skill in the art. If any
one does no, believe US, let him call and exanl-
ine for himself. This plating isvery useful in
a variety of ways. Common brass ttimbles
spoons, watch cases, pencil cases, lamps, and
m enrlless variety Of fancy articles, can all be
plated with brilliant lustre, and in a pcrma
nent manner" The plating is either with sA.
Ger or gold, and does not cost a great deal.
E- Onr readers will find in another column
copies of documents and letters relating 10 the
abolition pamphlets signed "BRurus " and
True CARoLINIAS," Of which there has been
so much talk. Some oflhese letters were inter-
ceplcd and some found on The person Of Thos.

The Hampstead RIoT.-The National A.
S. Standard, abiding 10 the statement of the
Hampstead Inquirer, that the meeting of the
Fosters at that place was broken up in conse-
quence of the appearance OF a colored man
upon the platform, INDUCES its s%atirical pro.
pensity as follows:
The reader will not Gail to observe what,
according TO this Ln~quirer-iucus a non llcen-
dO-was the immediate cause of the riot. II
was the appearance Of the venerable coloured
man upon the Platform. This was more than
the tlempstead people could possibly stand.
Aslonishment evidently was the first feeling.
They could not understand so anomalous a
proceeding. Had Miller Wood been a giraffe,
they would have supposed our friends, the
Fosters, the keepers Of some sort Of a mena-
geEie, and their lectures as descriptions OF
the character and habis Of the other animals
afterward 10 be exhibited but as Wood was
not a giraffe, but only an old "nigger"
whom they were in the habit of seeing daily,
the matter was allogelherabove their compre.
hension. 1t amused them above all things.
Miller Wood |! old Wood The "nigyer!"
They could do nothing but cachinate:-Peal
on peal, and peal on peal of laughter which
SET all order at defiance. 1t was so rich! A
black man sitting in a chair right before all
the people as if he was somebody! Was the
like ever before seen, or heard Of, in Hemp
stead We once rode a half dozen miles, Ia
his Wagon, with a man, somewhere in that
neighborhood, who made very particular in.
1uIrles as 10 our vocation. We were, we
told him, the editor Of an Anti 81 VERY pa
per. He did not understand us. To make
the thing palmer, we began by reminding
him that there were 5000, 900 Of Slaves in
the United States-he knew that! No; he
never heard of it before he had heard, when
he was young, "thal The niggers was SET free,
and he'd no ide that any on EN- was left
slaves" No doubt that man was at the
Hampstead meeting, with all his neighbours,
and they couldn't get over that Mil. Wood
being on the platform among white folks
But their delight turned to anger when it at
length dawned upon them, that the lecturers
absolutely considered Miller Wood as man,
and were trying to convince them, not only
Of that fact, but that The 5000, 900 of his col
our who are held as Slaves, are also entitled
TO be considered as men, and 10 possess the
rights Of men. And so they pelted with bad
eggs the propoundeTs of such monstGous doc

NiIcn is THE HAPpIEsr?-T The Pennsyl-
vania Freeman, replying to some ill-na,ured
misrepresentation Of The conduct of Abcli-
tionists toward fugitive slaves, put forth by
the Richmond Republican, proposes to tes,
the truth of a very common pro-slavery as
s%eflion, thus:
We have a proposition for the Republican
10 test the comparative comfort and happi.
ness OF their slaves and the free colored peo-
pie Of the North. 1t is that the offer of free
dom for the slave, and slavery for the free
man. shall be made in good faith to both par
ties, leaving each a free choice. If the con-
dition of the slave be so much preferable, Ger.
tainiy The experiment would bring no loss to
the Shareholders, but on The contrary would
doubtless.retdTn TO them many a fugitive, who
had become sick of the hard lot OF Freedom,
and returned, like the repentant prodigal, to
the home he had so f~oolishly deserted. What
says the Republican 10 our proposalf He
surely cannot object 10 a scheme which offers
such an opportunity 10 The bereaved patriarchs
10 recover their lost children! We would
give the Shareholders the fullest opportunity
10 convince the Northern colored people OF
The advantages of slavery, provided the same
freedom Of appeal to the slaves was allowed
to the abolitionists; aye, without such a con-
dltlon, for no persuasion is needful to con.
vince men who have felt the yoke of slavery,
that liberty is a blessing.
When the Shareholders and their tools
avow a willingness TO accept this reasonable
proposition, our readers shall be a~pprised of
the fact. We fear, however, that we shah
not hear from them ill after-harvest!
