ter from Angus
NJ d. living sta.
the South, IN a ic. "
Georgia, gives the to..
mcnt, Illustrative of the folly a..
surdity of AboliIionism:
"Bishop Capcrs Of South Carolina
some years ago was taken with the
abolition fever and conceived the
strange notion that he could do the
church and the world some service
by emancipating his slaves. He was
the owner Of large plantation and
nearly a hundred slaves. For many
wears he had worked his slaves and
accumulated consi lerable moncy:,hcy
had in short been very pioftable.-
Fearing that what every bod Y said
might be true. and that emancipation
might not prove y blessing to the ne.
groes. he dared not set them "scott
free" at once, or rather did not like to
turn them out to starvc without know.
ing where to find them. He there.
fore made an agreement with them to
give them the free use Of his planta
ton and all there was on it, hogs,
mules, wagons. &C.. on conditions that
if they did well they might have al
they made, and at the end OF three
years their entire freedom. The terms
were so favorable to the blacks. the
inducements to labor and save SO
great, that those who did not think
the race capable Of taking care Of
themselves admitted that they bcliev.
ed the Bishops negroes would be Sc
stimulated with the hope of freedom
that they would "do well" for three
years at any rate. What was the
result? Why, at the end Of the Sc
cond year they were in starving
condition. They killed the stock'cat'
tie for food, burnt up the fences io'
wood, had no corn for seed nor money
to buy it. the mules were too poor l.,
work, and the whole concern. plaHta'
ton. nigucrs. cattle, utensils, all were
in such n miserable condition that the
Bishop had actually to buy corn FOL
them to eat, and go back to his plan
ta,ion and take charge Of it and then
again. One such practical lesson a.
this is worth all the theory and spe:u
lation of all the philosophers that cve1
lived. 1t cured Bishop Capers of hi
abolition capers and would cure every
sensible abolitionist (if there be sucl
an anomoly) in the world"

II seems Il little odd for Free Sellers who
profess TO have no lingering remains of old
party attachment, forever lnrsaking the
candidates OH the free soil ticket, and vot>
ing for Whig candidates, OF aledged anti
slavery views. Now if snch free soiIers,
cannat, positively, be induced 10 vote the
free soil ticket, We would suggest, just for
the look of the thing, tia, they vote, once
in a while for democratic candidate of
anti slavery sentiments, least they may be
suspected after all, Of secret hnnkering
after the flesh pots of Old bunker Whiggery.
If there is such free soIer who cannot be
persuaded to vote for Mr. .Heaton, ,eitogether
the best man now in the field as candidate
for State Auditor, We would advise him Just
for variety, and to preserve his consistency
and keep his professions above suspicion,
to vote for Mr., Morgan, q gentlemen as

aud to say the least Oft, his equal in honor,
