ABoLITIONISTS

Almost every paper we take up contains
ome account ofrocent outrage upon Southern
property The abolitionists grow more and
more bold, and the number of fugitive slaves
daily increases. Already has the open hospi-
tally of the Southern country been destroyed
in a great measure. Each mans house is GER
tainly now his castle, and in it he has to retire,
and guarded by bar and bolt, know the name
and principles ofhim who asks reception.
The effect is most fortunate, however we may
deplore the cause. The patent-pill vender-
the dealer in quack-uostrums, trasby-books
and wooden-clocks, with his neat, bright pain
buggy, lined inside with cosy little lockers,
containing his treasures, no longer finds the
best stall in the stable, and the best fodder for
his sleek horse the warmest corner in the
house, the brightest smiles, and the open
mouthed staring wonder from the honest farm
or and his family, for himself. On the contra
ry, ifcharity mot yet LOST, we are thankful )de-
mand his reception from the pitiless storm or
the dews of the coming night-his horse is
well cared for but his jolly jokes are received
with tantalizing gravity; instead of Wonder,
Suspicion CLEANS from the eyes fall; and
though treated with civilty, the farmer and
even the children seem studiouslv to avoid TO
touch him, and as he sits by the big fireplace,
or at the table, give him many an under look in
silence, and think Of abolitionists. AS he sees
to the proper adjustment of the harness of his
horse, on the morrow 10 depart, the negroe,
no longer show their white teeth at his cant
wltticl SINS, even they are oppressed by his
presence, and he drives off on his solitary way
his wares rejected as "humbugsn and eYanket
tricks and himself despised upon trust.
Finding their stock of soft-sawder and fame,
goods so little appreciated, and themselves s.
logged with distrus,, the class 'Yankee pedlar
is fast becoming extinct, All such drivers G
san honest penny begin to find the country to
inhospitable forthom. lfthe Ablli i1uists CO..
tinue to succeed as they have recently in tn
river counties, and in Alabama, Louisiana, an
other States, a system of passports will have
be established.
This is a good effect saves many a life an
many a dime to our people; but what a dc
plorable Union is that in which the people {
one section oft so regard those of another.

New GcoDs-Our streets now present quite
a lively appearance. The recent arrivals Of
Fall goods have caused the merchants to move
about az though business were doing. The
clerks frisk around early and late, prizine open
this box, and ripping open that bale, in eager
curiosity to see it, contents: here adairing the
lates, agony" of sack coats; there, having
their attention attracted by some superine
specimen Of ladies' shawls or handkerchiefs
bruughtto light.
But there is one thing the merchants seem
to have forgotten. They should advertise. II
they have the goods suited to the market
whether to suit those who look for the substan-
iial necessarieS or those who desire something
%fanciful or beautilul-they should let it be
known to all likely to trade in the market.
We would call particular attention to the
fine stock Of our friends, II. S. & T, w, White,
now being received. Their advertisement
was too late for this week.

The aoolitionists of Ohio are always
ready TO abuse the South, and entice
away the slave population. We have
never given them credit for honesty of
purpose, or goodness of intention. and
the hypocritieal interest they have
manifested for the "colored population"
is now in progress of development.
Petitions from Cincinnati and other
parts Of the State are now being nu-
merousiy signed, asking that all Of the
free negroes shall be hanished from the
State-the move is decidedly popular.
We hope they will not succeed, they
have inflicted the curse upon them
selves and should be made to bear it.

A Singular Fact.

On the trial of the State Treasurer, singular
fact is brought to mind. During his term as
Treasurer he had to pay loan of 100000, con-
tracted by previous Treasurer. TO pay interest
the previous year He met this loan, while he
paid both nsialments of interest accruing his year,
without loan While during the previous year,
more of debts against the Commonwealth, on the
Improvements, accumulated, and virtually there
was but one instalment OF interest paid of money
in the Treasury, Mr.. Bah virtually met three in
stalmenls of interest without a loan, paid out
much money on old debts-and in hand $l50,000
for the North Branch Canal-had payment was
made on the State debt. The singular fact is this,
that in some instances when he could not pay
money he gave reason, that he had that loan
Of previous year TO meet-and yet he is cen
sured for paying out money faster on the lines
of Improvements, by men Of the very party which
was in power, when and under whose auspices
that loan contracted. What does ii mean

M ysteriOuS.

The Philadelphia papers of Thursday, contain
accounts of the discovery among the ruins of old
buildings in Walnut street, below Third, Of the
remains Of human being, encased in coffin
In cellar of the back building, No. Sc, were
found three ground arches, and on tearing these
down mahogany coffin was discovered embed
ded in the inner arch, and in an upright position.
The wood work was much decomposed, and with
in were found fragments OF human being. The
hip bone and several of the ribs were quite per-
feet, but the remains were not sufficiently so to
discover the sex On the coffin was an ornamen-
tai breast plate of copper, gilt with silver, but SO
corroded that it was impossible to trace any in
scrIption The honses were built in l770, and the
presumption is, that the deceased died fyellow
fever, and that this mode of burial was resorted
10 for some peculiar reason. The property, we
believe, is owned by f. Y. Farquhar, Esq.
