ABOLITION HUMANITY TEsTED.-A sh,rt time
since a gentleman named Creswell died in New
Orleans in possession of several negroes. On open
ing his will it was found that he decreed the free
dom of all his slaves, and directed tn 1t they should
be sent to Of the free States that their names
should be registered in court ss free persons, no
longer to be held in bondage, and that his execu-
tors should appoint some trustworthy man to at
tend their removal to the free States. In accord
with the directions Of the deceased the execu
tors appointed gentleman to superinted the re-
moval Of the slaves thus emancipated This agent
inquired of Governor Hunt if there was any OBJ
s.acle in the way of his bringing them to the Stata
of New York. Mr.. Hunt published that part of
the will referring to the request of Mr.. Creswel,
together with the agents letter to him on the sub
ject, and requested that our phanthropic citizens
who are ready to lend practical assistance tc the
cause of emancipation, by receiving the slaves,
and making suitable provision for their employ
ment and maintenance, would communicate the
fact to the agent with such information as would
aid him in the performance OF his trust
This correspondence has been extensively pub
I;sh.d onJ avarv abolitionist in he State has M
doubt, read it. We wonder if any of them
will consent to receive these slaves, and put
them in the way of providing for their own
support. Here is noble chance presented to
them to put in practice the principles of humanity
and philanthrophy which they possess, and which
they assert mpel them to against slavery in the
Southern States. Here is an excellent opportunity
for these noisy disclaimers TO the Of hui
manity. We have not heard, however, tina. any of
these worthless have cone forward and announced
their willingness to help these slaves to lend their
assistance in carrying into effect the desires of the
testator Nor do VIC think that they will. Such
assistance will, in all probability, be rendered-not
by these noisy demagogues-but by people who
talk less but in whose breasts real philsnthr ply
exists. If Mr.. Creswell had not emancpated them,
the aboltionists would no doubt be willing to
their owners, towards employing agents to Turk and
prowl abou. their masters house, towards putting
pistol in the hands of each to be used ag inst the
owner or any other person who might attemp. to
prevent them from escaping, and if they rea;hed
the North, towards sending them to the SHOWS of
Canada, where they become burden on society,
and where they are despised and more degrad-
cd than they would be if they had rem aimed with
their masters. This would have been glorious
feat, and the abolitonists would split their throats
in clarifying it at the next anniversary in the
Tabernacle.
Such is Northern abolitionism. We never yet
knew Of of its advocates giving a cent towards
purchasing the freedom Of a slave, while they will
attribute thousands, and swear on the holy evan
geists in a perfectly revoting, in eadeavor
ing TO prevent fugtives extradition in accordance
with law Of the land, based upon the constitution
Oft the United States, and with taeir duty to wards
their fellow citizens in the slave holding States.
1t is pest, a nuisance, plague whose all
good men, and all parties and classes, should aid
in arrestng. 1t countensnces robbery, az ustifes
murder in the execution Of it. 10 has insinuated
itself into the politics Of the county, and came
destroying this glorious Union, which is hardly
yet secure from the assaults that these enemies of
law and order have made upon it. And yet the
political parties Of the North continually coquet
with and suecumb to this faetious, rebelious, and
anarchical spirit. The Martha an Burcns on the
ole tide, and the Weeds AMI Greeleys on the other,
have identified themselys and their parties with
for the purpose Of securing Office But Greeley's
philanthropy was SO transparent, that even tho
negroes themselves have become disgusted with it,
ard now repudate both him and il. Weeds time
is not yet come, but il is not far distant The
mask will be stripped from him as il has been from
his eO-laborer in New York. When this is done,
he will have to resort to some other good enough
Morgan to aid him in his demagogueisn.
The GRAND BALLS at THE WATERING PLAcEs.-
The grand ball of the season at Newport was given
at the Ocean House, in that place, on Friday
ing last We give account of il in another
column Of this mornings pape- Il was a very
pretty, very happy, very fine affair; in fact II
could hardly be otherwisc, for, aside from the
dancing, the Instrumentation of the Germania Afu.
scil Society furnished an excellent erening's en-
tertanment. The ball at Newport was more nu-
msTously attended than was the oze given a: sara
toga the week before. The advantage Of rich
dresses was, however, on the side Of Saratoga per-
hsps the latter might be termed the most select
party o. the two, although both were unexception-
ably respectable, not only in the selection Of
gers but also IN the character Of the participants in
the festivities Of the ball room.
The f,ie at Newport has closed the fashionable
% ason at the north, and before q fortnight is
passed the propnetors Of mos. Of the hotels
win be making preparations to closc their houses
until next June. There will Jet be balls at some
Of the watering places near the city, one, we per-
