the evident disposition in many quarters, to re-

that any national party will respect and restore

"SENTEScE FOR KpNArrrSe.--A man named
George f. Alberto was recently convicted in
Philadelphia of Kidnapping negro child and
taking it to Maryland, where it was sold into
slavery--and sentenced TO twelve years impris-
onment in the penitentiary The penalty in
Alabama for kidnapping free negro and selling
HIM IS, we believe, twenty years imprisonment
in the Peuientiary."
The above appeared in the Alabama Journal
published in this city, few days since. And
now, reader, just listen to the facts in the case,
md then make up your own opinion Of paper
that would thus mslead the public mind.
Some two or three years ago, negro woman
ran away from her owner, MIR. j. s. Mitchell,
in Maryland, and went to Pennsylvania. Learn
ing her whereabouts, he despatched two agents
--of whom Mr. Geo F. Alberto, the individual
named in the above extract, is one--to bring
her home. They did 40. During the negro
woman's absence as a runaway slave, she had n
child in Pennsylvania, which Of course was the
property Of the owner of the woman, and was
brought with her to him. For this reclamation
of these two slaves, both the agents have been
convicted and sent to the penitentiary Of Penn

fame. as to be prepared for such degradation. If
she is, the glorious old Virginia of former days.

unequal struggle with the North, We can no
longer rely on her cooperation.
But whatever her course may be, that of the
Southern rights party is plain. They have put
their hands to the plough and they must not
look back. We must preserve our own distinct
organization, and shun national politics as we
would pestence. We must organize in every
county, in every neighborhood- must Sus-
tain our own men--stick to our own candi-
dates-stand by our own principles. II matters
not whether we are many or few, we must or
ganize, labor, agitate. proclaim and advocate our
principles, and our progress and ultimate sue
cess are certain. Look at the progress already
made and take heart. Let US never despair, but
relying on the soundness of our principles. push
steadily on. Wemay encounter difficulties and
defeat, but il we are true to ourselves, and our
cause, it must follow, as day the night, that an
abundant harvest will crown our labors.
