of marriage in that town, which ha- a

to runaway matches aud the like. The
Chronicle says:
'"The denizens .ol our quiet village,
were thrown into some little excit ment
by the arrival here, on Sunday last, of a
runaway couple from aneighboring coun-

and number Ofpersons assembled at the
corners of .,lc streets, anxious TO witness
the result Application was made to tl,e

daunted by opposing barriers, were de-

were sufficient to dampen their spirits or

on the LIST int $39 $50 3I6 SO
The foregoing We again repubish, with the view
of directing attention to n re solution introd iced
early in The session by Mr.. Dickinson, of the Sc.
nate, having in view the establishment of trans
ter 'ffce tor governm.nt securities in the city Of
New York. 1t appears, from the above table, that
nearly two-thirds OF the entire transfer able stock
Of the United States, Is owned or represented BY
residents of this city. There cannot be do Ibt,
under such circumstances, that the transfer office
should be located in this city, and not made part
OF the Treasury Department at Washington Much
the largest portion of the revenue is collected
here, and Of the interest Is paid here.
The necessity uLder the present regulation of
sending to Washington to effect transfer RS is at
fenced with delay, Inconvenience, and haz ard, all
Of which could be avoided by allowing the rraas.
tiers to be made here. Even in this State, not
withstsndIug rhe raFidity OF communication with
the city OF Albany, it has been found advantageous
to establish the transfer office of our State stocks
in Wall street. There would be no difficulty to
frame law wher. by the collector or naval officer,
or some o,her individual connected with the re-
venue department, should be made the agent of
transfers; thereby the danger OF losing certificates
forwarded ly mail would be prevented, the use of
the United States stocks as the mode of obtaining
temporary loans (and which, by the way, adds
much toits value,) rendered easy, and the ccnve-
nience Of the holders OF the stock would in every
way be much increased.

The Difference,

lone OF the most interesting instances Of

in our country. was related by Capt. Burrlll,
OF TTumbull, Connecticut, " no some wears
since went 10 Virginia, or North Carolina,
for corn. lie received his cargo from two
planters, one OF whom was kind towards his
slaves, as the Captain supposed them 10 be.
and they wtGe cheerful, well dressed, and
ready TO do anything which would be dpsir.
able to the master, aud enhance his interest.
His plantation was In a fine condition, and
every thing wore tho appearance Of thrift and
happiness. The slaves on the other planta-
ZION, were poorly dressed, appeared ~forlorn
and miserable. They seemed to care for
nothing, but went like brutes at the command,
or whip, of the master. The pie n:aiion was
in its appearance far behind the other. and
there was no motive presented by the master
but fear. 1t was in the month of April, that
Capt. Buuill took in his corn, and instead of
usirg a boat, The master made the slaves car.

wadIng in the water TO their loins. The
Captain demonstrated with the master. He
said 1t was good enough for the ~rascals that
they would cut his throat any time, if they
could, and that he would have them know,
that he had the control over them. The
Captain inquired Of the former planter how
ii was, that there was such an immense diff
ference between the situation Of his slaves
and plantation and those Of the latter. lie
remarked that his neighbor was a cruel mas
ter, drove his slaves, and took poor care Of
them. They hated him, and would no doubt
cut his throat, if they could without discove-
ry. Some Yeas ago, he said, | was convic-
ted that it was a sin in the sight of God, to
hold my fellow creatures as slaves, and one
morning | called them all together, and con.
iessed 10 them my conviction. ] offered 10
employ them as laborers, and pay them wa.
ges, and TO DO them all the good in my pow
er. ! gave them all their freedom. remark
ing that if any were disposed to leave me,
they Were at liberty TO do so, but that if thew
intended ever TO return, they must come back
within sixty days. They rejoiced 10 be free,
and embraced my offer with Igladness. al the
same time declaring their intention NOT to
leave me. Only one left, and at the end of
'hlTty days, he came back, begging to be re-
celved, and was accordingly. Now, said
he, these people love me and would do anv
thing for my pleasure. act the part of a
guardian, they make me their banker, aud
