facts respecting that Island. OF the 10000

An Incident Of the Slave Trade.

A gentleman lately from Missouri relates
to us the following incident:
A stakeholder in the Southern part of Mis-
souri,, started for California, taking with him
slave whom he had promised him should
accompany him in the mines, and then have
an opportunity of earning enough to p,ir-
chose his liberty and that of his wife aud
children. The master proceeded with his
slave as far as 81. Louis, and there placed
him in a slave pen and sold him for $780,
The agreement between the master and the
slave was, as the latter related il to our in
formant, that hc should accompany him to
the mines, and work for him eight hours
every day, and have the remainder of his
time to dig on "his own hook" lie was TO
pay his master eight hundred dollars for his
liberty, six hundred for his wife's, aud four
hundred for each, for those of his children.
"My heart was light" said the negro as he
related his story, "as thought of the pros
pect of becoming free, and having my wife
and children, but think how feel" and the
tears rolled down his cheeks, "when massa
sell me to get money to carry him to the gold
mines. Oh, dare'cr no God for mossa, no
no go to hebben when he die" "The story
was heart-rending," says our friend, but he
adds, ait is a scene ofevery day life among
slave traders."-Ddiiy Wisconsin.

More Conscicnces against the Constitution

The Boston Post contains the following
communication:
son recent visit to neighboring State il
was my fortune to listen, from time to time,
TO the conversation of several divinity stu
dents connected with one of our best theo-
logical seminaries. Their iavorite theme
seemed to be slavery, and the obligations to
obey the Constitution; and must confess
that was surprised and panied at the char
acter of their remarks. There is a spirit of
radicalism abroad in our land which has
infected few ministers of the gospel and
few laymen, who under its influence are do
ing much to destroy all respect for any law,
and TO encourage its open violation. For
ministers of the gospel il is time to pause
They should reflect that, when then shall
have destroyed, by their precept and exam
pie, a Just respect and sense of obligation 10
maintain the laws of the land, in the minds
Of the masses, who look up to them as their
teachers, they will have done much TO de-
shoy in the same minds all true respect for
themselves and their sacred office; and that
from that point il is but step to rank and
open in6delity. They should look also at
Garrison, who once stood as fair as them
selves, and take warning.
Zone or more of these young theologians
Sravely declared that it would be most
glorious and praiseworthy employment to go
into n saveholdng State, and entice and
aid slaves to run away from their masters.-
| am happy TO know that in none of their
radical notions do they find the least sympa-
thy or encouragement from their teachers"
OF course nobody is to blame for their
entertaining such opinions-for when boil
er bursts no blame is ever attached to the
captain, but the public sentiment must be
strong indeed when religious fanaticism is
brought TO bear against the teachings and
express injunctions of the Bible.Cl
These wolves in sleeps clothing should
be watched closely, if they attempt to
make incursions on our Southern folds for
the pious purposes proclaimed. = Southern

Southern Visitors Annoyed.

An exchange paper seems to be displeased
with fact which it records as follows:
An abolition lecturer has been in the
habit Of deciaiming on his favorite theme
near Congress Spring, Saratoga, very much
to the discomfort Of Southern visitors. The
authorities of Saratoga, in order to reach
his case, passed an ordinance against street
preaching. To evade the law, the man now
speaks from the piazza of a private boarding
house,"
This 'pestilent fellow'-whose case re
minds us Of the old Apostles who were &c
| custoDed TO proclaim the Gospel both il
season and out of season must be one
of those alluded to by Webster, when he
said,
"No drum-head in the longest days march
was ever more necessarily beaten than pub
lie sentiment in the North has been, every
month, aud day, and hour, by the din and roll
and rub-a-rub of abolition writers and lee
turers."-Esser Freeman.

Fugitive Slaves.

An account of the escape of six slaves,
from their masters on the south side of the
Ohio river, opposite Lawrence county, Ohio,
is given by correspondent of the Ohio
State Journal, who writes from "Quaker
Bottom," in Lawrence county, on the 18th
OF July. As they were passing through that
country, on their way north, they were met
by eight or ten white men, who, surprising
them TO be runaway slaves, attempted to
capture them. Tie negroes being well arm
cd, the writer says, fired upon the whites,
instantly wounding several badly; they then
fell upon the remainder with cudgels, and
beat several until they supposed them dead,
after which, and the commission of other ex-
cesses, in their fury, they made their escape
into the wilderness. il is said that several
companies of men, numbering seventy in all,
went in pursuit of them. This is bloody
story, and we suppose is much exaggerated
from the iacts.-Lebanon Star.

The Blows that arc Felt.

Ono Of the Washington correspondents
of The Tribune has expressed in the follow
ing paragraphs truth which has not ye,
found its way to the perceptions of multi
tudes who aspire to the honor of being called
Reformors, while thoy shrink from bearing
the cross which fidelity to unpopular truth
always imposes.
There was one disclaimer which, in my
humble judgment, fiattened WiLmor's
speech, and that was that he had never dis
cussed Slavery as a moral question. lie be-
lieved that it was purely political question.
Mr.. WILMor will allow Inc to say that he
has discussed Slavery morally, whether he
designed il or not and will tell him, further,
that had he not done so, for one would not
have valued his efforts as have. ! would
not give fig for mere political considera-
tions by themselves. As much as ! differ
from the Garrisonians, in theories, their
moral assaults on Slavery have ever made
me feel something moro than a mere tolera-
ton for them. Il is moral assaults that are
most needed. They alone open the eyes of
the Southern and sincere friends of Slavery.
II is fact in point, which is well worthy
of notice, that the speeches on the great
question of the day, which have brought the
most hearty responses from residents of the
Southern States, have not been the milk
and-water speeches of the trimmers and
semi-apologists, but the more hearty and
thorough speeches of frank and fearless
men. l could name instance after instance
in point, coming under my immediate notice,
having had occasion to put this matter to the
test, over and over again, during the present
struggle. 1t is so now, and ever will be SO
till the end of time, while the natural i'm
pulses Of humanity remain as they are.

An Evangelical Hanging.

Daniel II. Pierson was killed according to
law in East Cambridge, Mass, on the 26th
alt. He had confessed his guilt. Although
the execution took place within the Jail yard,
where it could be witnessed only by the of
ficers of the law, the clerical endorsers of the
diabolicai deed, and the invited guests q
mob of hundreds gathered on the outside
and revenged their exclusion from the bor-
rid scene by demoniacal shouts end yells!
Pierson had been prepared for the strang-
ling by the ministrations of u couple of Me-
thodist priests, who pronounced him peni-
tent and ready to step from the gallows into
the fellowship of holy beings in Heaven! 1t
was a saint, therefore, who wus TO be chok-
ed to death 10y an evangelical halter And
these professed ministers of Christ threw
over the transaction the shield of his reli-
gion! The diabolical deed, instead of being
perpetrated under the influence of passion
stimulated to madness by rum, was coolly
and deliberately performed by the officers of
the law. II was even preceded by religious
exercises, singing, prayer, and the reading of
the Scriptures. One of the parsons made
an address, in which he said he believed that
Pierson was an altered man, and all he
wished him to ben penitent. To Pierson
himself he said, "My dear brother, com
mend you to God. Pray to him for mercy
and salvation. Go peaceably-go confident
ly." The prisoners arms and wrists were
then bound with cords and with Bible in
his hands, he was led to the foot of the steps
by which he was to ascend the scaffold. He
stopped here moment, shook hands with
Father Taylor, kissed him, and with-a firm
step walked up the stairs, stopping on the
trap door, directly under the fatal moose.
High Sheriff Chandler then proceeded to
read the Executive warrant for the execll-
ton, during which Pierson was engaged
reading the Bible, which he brough: with
him from his cell. At the conclusion of
reading the warrant, his legs were firmly
bound with cords, after which Pierson in
calm yet somewhat subdued tone of voice
spoke substantially as follows:
81 should like to say word. Be prepar-
ed to die. My friends seek salvation. This
death Is The happiest TO die Of any, if only pre-
pared to die. / hope and trust in God, and
that am going to be with him in Heaven.
l recommend you all to the holy Word of
God, and pray that we may all meet in heav-
en-"
The white cap with black strings was
then drawn over his head and face, and tied
about his neck, and at 1S minutes past 10
o'clock, Sheriff Chandler touched the spring
the drop fell, and the spirit of the murder
er [saintT was sent almost instantly into the
presence Of its God.
The moral influence of scenes like this is
dreadful. How long will men delude them
selves with the idea that Judicial strangling
has tendency to repress the spirit of muir
der3 Nothing could be better caculated to
keep that spirit alive and to make it burn
with fearful and hellish intensity.

0F1Hs Liberator thinks the conviction
was universal that MIR. Webster's reelection
TO the Senate, before his appointment as Sc
cretary of State, was out of the question:
We are glad of the evidence this circum-
stance affords that Mr.. Webster has not
wholly debauched the people of Massachu-
sets, even with Prof stuarfs help; but we
regret that they have not been permitted the
opportunity Of branding him as he deserves.
