Who would be q Slave!

"Look at the condition Of the free blacks
in the non-slaveholding States, especially
those of the West. With u few exceptions,
in favor of persons and places, they ure vir-
tuully excluded from all but the lowest me-
nial occupations. They are cooks, waters,
hostlcrs, scaveugers, &C., and are treated
with less kin,lncss, and looked upon with far
less respect than here Ut the South. The
negro finds that freedom, insteqd Of renoring

This is an old argument and poor one.
Grant that the statements above made are
true, il proves nothing. Who would not
rather he freeman treated with contempt
for the color OF Ills skin, than 10 be slave
treated with the familiarity of u slave? Tic
kindness or respect, TO whatever extent il
may be carried in the South, towards color
) ed people, is only that sort Of kindness which
: mn owner feels for his property. In the
North, whatever respect they receive 10
shown to them ns men. For the color Of his
skin the freeman is not responsible il is no
disgrace 10 hini--impies no wrong or guilt
and were juslice in favor with men would
not degrade his condition. But the slave
may be treated with familiarity and yet ii
is Only the familiarity Of a Stare. 1t is the
carcssing which master bcstows upon ms

The prejudice against color cannot be COM
pared with the prejudice against The slave
The former dcprives a person OF some So
cial advantages; the latter takes from him al
his moral, political and religious rights
Prejudice against eo.or must give way before

Henry Bibb and kentucky BlOodhOuuds.

Mr. Bibb, who is well known to the peo-
pie of Michigan as n fugitive from slavery,
publishes in the Boston Republican of the
23d communication addressed TO Daniel
Lane, in which the said Lane is given TO un-
derstand tllat project which lie has on foot
for the ecnpture Of Bibb has been revealed
to him. The facts of this plot are about
these: Ii will be remembered by all who
have heard Mr.. Bibb's narrative, or read his
book, that he was once captured in Cincin-
natl by this fellow Lane, and carried TO Lou-
isville to be sold; but whilst Lanes com
rades were hunting purchaser Bibb man
aged TO escape. Ii will also be remembered
that he was subsequently re-captured, and
after undergoing much suffering, was finally
sold to II Cherokee Indian; that the Indian
died, and that Bib escaped from the CherO-
kee country 10 Michigan. After he arrived
here, he engaged in writing and lccturing
upon the subject of Slavery; and in so do
ing, took occasion 10 handle, without gloves,
his former owners, aud the bloodhound
Lane, who had been the means OF much sui-
fering TO Himself and family, and to many
other unfortunate Kentucky slaves. These
exposures have highly increased the wretches
of whom they were made; and they have
ayowed vengeance against Bibb. As n
means of CARRYING out their hellish purposes,
they sent an agent TO the Cherokee country,
who purchased of the heirs of the Indian
chief their claim upon Bbb, and under this
claim they now propose TO re-eaPture him.
and carry linn again into bondage, or to muI-
der him in tic attempt. They have been
discreet enough to make boast OF their in
tenions over their whiskey-glnsscs in Ken

o. The .New York Tribune thinks some
Northern members of Congress made a mis-
tako wien they suffered themselves to be
bullicd into rc-considering Colts Resolution
last winter, and that their course was an in
ytation to more buster and new threats OF
dissolving the Union. That resolution, 1t
adds, wos true, and the judgment OF the coun-
try so affirmed. Giving it up invited farther
aggression. This is undoubtedly correct,
and we are glad TO find The Tribune taking
such ground. We rejoice also to hear that
paper declare, that the project to force
compromise which will surrender portion
of the new territories to slavery "MUST BE
RESISTED AT ALL HAZARDS" But

LAST OUT.-Among the many queer pro-
iecis which our Southern iiiends have con-
ceivcd since the beginning of the slavery az
italon, the most absurd is a bill brought for-
ward in the Legislature of Georgia on Nov.
26, by Mr.. Jones, of Paulding. The follow
lug arc tic main features OF this singular
whimsy:
"AIl goods, merchandise, or other articlce
of whatever description produced or manu-
iaculrcd IN non-slaveholding Suites shall bs
taxed SO per cent. on the original cost there.
OF, when brought within this Statc-that nli
merchants and uadesmen shall take oath
that they have not spent moro than hiiee u
DAYS at any one time in the Free States dti.
ring the year preceding the taking of tho
oati-and that all lawyers shall be sworn
not 10 prosecute any claim of a resident OF a
non.slaveholding State against citizen OF
this State--that he is not associated or con-
nected in any way with any attorney or 9TH
er person in such nou-slayclolding State, or
falling TO tako such oath thnt they may 10

Mr.. Jones, of Paulding, ought TO hovo mo-
we'd at the same time to surround the Stata

the members OF the Methodist Church OPP
posed to tho separation of the sexes III the
seats of churches met in Cincinnati few
days ago, aud resolved to carry out their
plan of pcwed church. A church edifice
was bought at $500. Bishop Waugh re-
fused 10 recognize the new organization.
We find the above in several of our ex-
changes, and suppose !, to bo true. if,he
church alluded to had been composed of
shareholders, it is not at all likely that Bishop
Waugh would have made the slightest OBJ
lection 10 recognizing it. But the sin of men
and women sitting together in n public as
sembly was too shocking to be tolerated by
the great Methodist Episcopal Church! II

The CUBAN PLor.---A gentleman from
Havana states that it was intended, in case
ofinvasion of the island during the late cx-
element, to let loose the slaves Oh the inva-

crnor, and it was partially approved by ma

once ormcd-admitting that they were sue
cesslul-they would turn on the officers oi
the Government themselves in order to sc.
cure the freedom thus given them through
revenge, was amply discussed; but it did
not change their determination.

Friendly AdmOpiliOn.

The following is an extract from recent
letter of that worldwide Pliilanthropist, GEO.
THOMPSON, to his friend Garrison:
Garrison / cannot tell you how my heart
blceds when think upon the glorious op-
portrnity your country has thrown away, oil
blessing and redecming the world! ., what
would give, ii, as | stand night after night
before assembled thousands here, could
point to Amerca-purc, free, consistent,
calm, peaceful, sublime-the unbemlshed
model of a scll-governed nation-the true
champion among the peoples OF the earth OF
the rights of Gods children, and the sanct-
fed home Of the Genius Of Universal Enan-
cipation.'
o, Americans! permit one, who looking
back upon 81 and '35, remembers nothing
but the love and goodness of his friends,
and his own strong and vehement desire to
slare tic glory of Kidding your land OF Its
shame and its curse, 10 inIplorc you 10 make
haste TO put away your reproacll. Believe
me when tell you that millions in Europe
| wait as for the morning, 10 see yon dark
| cloud that now overllangs your land dispol'
sed by the rising of the bright SIM OF free
dom. o, haste 10 silence the taunts (now
but loo just) of tyranis in Russia, and Ger
many, and even in England, who, instead o
being scathcd by the brightness you nigh
fling across tile waves, quote their own act
with pride in contrast with yours. BE Just
and your example will be perfect. BE just
and your power will be omnipotent. ID
just, and the scroll Of your destiny will I'm
fold TO you, that America is yet ordained t
be the hope aud the sheet anchor OF tn
world.
Farewell, dear fellow-laboreri Care no
for the falterings of Father Mathew or an
other lover of expediency. Ii moves still.
