FREE STATE. We were cognizant Of little In

coored people in the so-caed. free States. An old
man who had been for many years the slave Of Mrs.
Moore, OF this county, but who is now free, and who

of Ohio. Before his departure we had several con-
versa,ions with old George the subject, in which
we tried to dissuade him from going. We told him
that we were thoroughly acquainted with the sit
uation Of the negroes at the North that in all but the
name they were slaves with the drawback that they
had no masters bound to them by the laws Of the
place. and obliged 10 support them in sickness and
not enter into white society that public opinion would
not permit their following any employments bnt those
of the menial description-ia fact we explained
case. He thought otherwise; said he wanted to buy
farm and live like white folks'' that in fact he
was dessrmined to Try Ohio, SC. We then told him
that rs he had his mind set on it he had better 60, tell
ing him at the same time that we had no doubt but
that he would return in short time, to end his days
in peace and happiness in the old North State: Our
prediction was verified sooner than we Anticipated
George just touched the free soil of Ohio, saw the

VANDERLYN, THE PAlNrER-AN INTERESTING Incl
DENr-WHAr TRlFLEs MAKE MEN. When Aaron
Burr the height Of his power, and wearing the
honors of the Republic, in journeying through the
interior of New York. he was struck, one day alta
tavern, with the singular spirit apparent in little
pen and a drawing that hung over the fire place IN
the back room. Upon inquiry he ascertaned that
this the production of the landlords son, an ap-
prentice to neighboring blacksmith. Colonel Burr
expressed curiosity to the lad, who Was ac-
cordingly for. His conversation and appearance
gave evidence of innate genius and the expediency Of
sending him to the city, in order to furnish him with
the rudments of an education, was suggested. 10
this, however the father denurred. susPeciing from
the interest which the traveller had expressed In the
child's welfare, that he really more valuable
member of his family than he had everbeen esteemed
lust hefoseeaviag the seuss, Colonel Burr said to
the youth, in low of voice, Put shirt in your
pocket-come to New York, and inquire Tor Aaron
Burr, he will take care Of you, and Immediately
mounted his horse. Several months went by, and
the circumstance we have related, passed from the
mind of Col. Burr, when one morning raw country
boy WAS nshured into the breakfast room, who In
stantly pull. out nicely rolled up package from
his pocket u laid it the table. Col. Burr opened
it and was surprised find it contained nothing but
a coarse cotton shirt, which, he was then reminded,
he had desired should be brought him at the metro
polls, from such village. The bearer was young
Vanderlyn and from that day his better fortune COM
menced. Under the patronage Of the Vice President
or the United States, he sent to Italy, where he
completed his studies and prepared himself for those
greater abors, which have since given him place in
the first rank Of our native artists. 'sr
