IMPRovEmEsr IN CASA correspondent
Of the New York Herald says that Mr..
Andrew Walker, Jr., of Burk, VT, has oh
tanned a patent for a very great improve
ment in the manufacture of Gas. ,.I -.
His invention simpIifies the process of
manufacturing coal or rosin gas, so as TO
materially lesson the cost, and at the same
time furnish superior light. The light
from his gas is the cheapest light now known
cheaper than oil, candles, or camphine |;
aud the apparatus is SO simple and cheap,
that any building having two or more rooms
to light, could afford to buy il and furnish
their own gas, as any one could soon learn
the process Of making il. 1t is more per-
fectiy purified than other gas, hence, when
burnt, il emits no smell or effiuyia, and,
of course, is moro agreeable and healthy
to use. 1t is now in successfhl ope-
ration at Lyndon Centre, VT, where il can
be examined and used by any one. There
is no part of it disguised or kept secret, and
understand tnat the inventor and his agent
invites investigation, asking for no putting or
"long talk" but relying solely upon the mer-
its of his improvements, which, he says, viii,
by use, show for itselfn f-f F.Ir.

The plea is often made, in extenuation or
iustifcation of the indifference or hostility of
the Society of Friends towards our cause,
TINT il is owing to our imprudence, or to their
unwillingness TO unite with men not mem
bers of their Society; preferring to do their
work within their own body--but that they
would readily hid any Judcious antl-slavery
efforts by members OF their own Society,"
We do not now propose to ask how consist

those who hear that plea of defense, and they

But we wish. simply to state fact which
of itself proues that the coldncss and opposl-
ton we have met from That quarter, are not
owing to the peculiar odium attached to our
radical movement, but TO an unwilingness
TO engage in any hearty anti-slavery work.
During the recent visit of John Gambler
and George w. Alexander to our city, on
their return from their important mission to
the West India Islands, they were invited TO
hold a meeting in Clarlson Hall, to make a
statement of the valuable information they
had gained respecting the effect of emanci-
pation upon those islands.

SLAVE EscAPED.--A letter in the Bco
states that a valuable negro, who had been
ut work as a blacksmith on the Dry-Dock at
Pensacola, arrived at Portsmouth, N. H., ON
the 29th ult., in a vessel from that place.
Letters had been sent TO Portsmouth to de-
tain the black, in order that he might be re-
turned, and the pilots and others were on the
lookout for him. But the friends Of humani-
ty got wind of the matter, and on the arrival
of the vessel, few of the most energetic
and active abolitionists went down to her, in
the lower harbor, to obtain possession of the
negro, but were resisted by the captain, and
were forced to leave. They then procured
u warrant for assault and battery, went down
the second time with an officer, arrested the
captain, and summoned the negro as a wit
ness. As soon as they reached the city the
captain was suffered to go at large, and the
slave was taken care of by his friends, and
is now breathing the free air Of liberty

A SERvmE.-Dr Olds one Of the Ohio
services, recently made partizan speech in
Congress. In answer TO a questions from
CAMPBELL, of Ohio, whom he twitted with
dissenting from the nomination Of his party
at Philadelphia, as to whether he (0LDs)
had ever dared to dissent from his par
ty's nominations, he declared thar he not
only never had heretofore, but never would
hereafter, do so, aud that he would now
pledge himself TO vote for the Presidential
nominee of his party, live where he might,
and hold tohdteuer opinions he might on The
questions Of The day. i would be enough for
him that he was the choice of a Convention
of the Democratic party" Ohio has tho
meanest breed of Democratic politicians that
can be found in the Union. The Duncans,
Wellers, Byingtons, Sawyers, Millers, Olds,
and that class Of demagogues have been n
disgrace to Ohio aud the country. IL will
be proud day for that glorious State when

AGITATION TO BE SToPPEDi Henry Clay,
in his "great" speech for the Compromise
told Mr.. Hale that the passage Of the bill
would put stop to the agitation Of the sla-
very question, aud that was the sole reason
why the abolitionists opposed il. Our oecil-
patton will be gone, he thinks, il his quack
compromise passes. Poor, sbort-sighted
man! He might az well learn now as any

We attended lectures in this place, on the
18th inst, delivered by FnEDERIcK Douo--
LASS aud JoHN MERCER LASGsToN, colored
men. We were as much surprised as pleas
ed, at the ease and fluency of the speakers,
and can bear willing testimony to the rea-
sonable, moderate and persuasive nature OF
their remarks. We regretted to hear from
them that they had been mobed in neigh
boring City (Columbus,) for, if we claim no
undue sympathy for this unfortunate race,
we must deprecate the spirit of tyranny
which would compel silence in any cause
in free country. If these men speak truth
truth from any source demands respect; i
false, in an intelligent community like this, !

and receive its own punishment Our State
constitution declares these men free--free
to act--free, to think-and free, TO speak

fered him.
A more gross assault upon the freedom OF
speech and the right of the people peaceably
to assemble for the discussion of matters OF
interest TO them, we have never seen perpe-
trated. That it was not promptly, sternly
suppressed by the police Of Columbus, sho'd
cause their speedy ejectment from ofhce:.-
The city suffers reproach in the estimation
of law abiding men by such an exhibition.
Had efficient steps been taken at the FIRST
uutbrake in the gallery, no further trouble
would have been experienced. Give little
license, and there is no telling where it will
lead or on what occasion repetition maybe
expected. The Capital Of the State OF Ohio
should be the last to tolerate such work.
To crown all, il is said that the Ohio stage
Co., refused the next morning to allow Doug
lass seat inside the coach, although the
passengers unanimously requested that ne be
permitted to have one. They told him to
ride on the outside. He declined, having
paid for seat inside. He then requested
the repayment of his money, and we were
told that even THAT was refused! For the
sake of all that is decent, we hope the last
step was not persisted in. There is enough
of crowning infamy in the first, TO cause the
Company to make public dsavowal of the
acts of their agents, if they were unauthor-

Hon. j, L. Orr

Has our thanks for his attention in forwarding
us copy Of his speech delivered in the House OF
Representatives on the 9th instant, on the slavery
agitation tits an able vindication Of Southern
rights, and ought to be read by every Southern
man. Every sentiment is worthy to be adopted
by those who claim the right of citizenship within
OUR borders. We regret not being able to publish
this excellent speech. Mr.. Orr says that hostties
to our institutions, Of grievous kind, are not
confined solely to abolition factions, but that many
"intend to effect the same end, but have not
the candor to ownit, and hypocrtcally profess an
attachment to the constitution, which they are re-
ally seeking to destroy; ;"-giving as evidence in
controvertible "the election of WIN. II. Seward

man whose greatest distinction has been his untir-

that the major part of the people of that State

The Washington Union

Denies most emphaticaly that its editors have
not written nor permitted to be write anything
calculated to defend the rights OF the South, or
state truly its case" or that they have attempted
to lu the South into a false security" or have
been engaged ain manufacturing an artificial
public sentiment, suitable for some presidential
platform, though at the expense of every interest
the South may possess, no matter how, or how
vital and momentous." They also deny that their
press has taken its tone fromthat Of the North y
The paragraph concludes thus: We deny and
repel all and singular of these charges and impu-
tations, because so far as we are concerned, they
have no foundation in fact whatever" We ac-
knowledge the Union" has been more favorable
towards the South than some others at Washing
ton; but whether it is substantially correct in all it
says in reply to the Southern Address on the sub
ject of establishing Southern paper at Washing

scribed for the Southern organ, to I've established

glad that there is but one press in South Carolina
which looks to the North Tor its TONE; the rest,
Wing or Democrat, are sound TO the core uponthe
absorbing question of the day, and are .devoted
to Southern rights, and animated by Southern
feeling. We cannot better recommend the pro-
posed scheme for the establishment of this paper,
than by copying the following extract from the
Southern address of our Senators and Represent
tatives upon this subject
Let us have press OF our own, as the North
has. both here and at home-a press which shall
be devoted to Southern rights, and animated BY
Southern feeling; which shall look not to the
North but the South, for the tone which is to per-
wade it. Claiming our share of power in Federal
legislation, let us also claim our share of influence
in the press Of the country. Let us organize in
every Southern town and county, so as to send
this paper into every house in the land. Let us
take, too, all the means necessary to maintain the
paper by subscri pon, SO to increase its circula-
ton, and promote the spread of knowledge and
truth. Let every portion of the South furnish its
full quota oftalent and money to sustain a paper
which ought to be supported by ALL because it
will be devoted to the interest of every Southern
man. 1t will he the earnest effort of the Commit
tee, who charged with these arrangements, to
procure editors ofhigh talent and standing; and
they will also see that the paper is conducted with
out opposition and without reference to the polt-
ical parties of the day. With these assurances,
We feel justified in calling upon you, the people

"I know that my section of the Union is deceiv-

laying Of Roots resolution on the table) have add

taking such steps as might prevent, if possible,
