feeling has been produced by the action OF
the abolitiolIistS, AID will continue to increase
until that class Of people shall be excluded
from the Southern States. THIS result we
consider rs inevitable The mobocratic dis
position exhibited by the free negroes OF
Boston, their open defiance of the law and
the encouragement: which they received 1rem
degraded portion ef the white population,
have tended to strengthen the disposition to
cypcl them from States where their rapid III
crease NAV endange. public tranquility, and
perhaps lead TO their determination. The re-
iations existing between these people and the
white population might have remained und's-
tu-bcd for wears TO come, had it not been for
the o,licious interference Of the abU!iiuniots.
By their direct efforts to deprive shareholders
Of their property, aud their inilammatory APP
pcals to the colorcd population of the South
their protection Of fugitive slaves, and en-
couragcmcnt to both slave and free to resist
the laws Of the country, they have produced
IN exciting state Of feeling, which will render
it impossible for free persons OF color TO re-
tain their present position in Southern COM
munitcs. However this condition of things
may be regretted, it has been forced upon the
South by the pretended friendship Of North
crn fanatics for the Southern race The
movement for the removal of the free colurcd
people will become general: and should all
the free States follow the example of Indiana
and Iowa, in denying admission to these pco-

will be reduced to the necessity OF seeking

A HEBREW WITHOUT GuILE.--The atten-
tion of the world is always caught by military
deeds, and Il nations gratitude Is fully be-
slowed on the soldier. But it should not be
forgotten that the civilian is rs useful. patri-
otic, and mcritorious as tho soldier. Robert
Morris is comparatively unknown, yet he
sacrificed IL princely fortune for the cause Of
American liberty. He pledged his credit and
wealth, and raised the means to clothe, feed
and arm the troops The battle of Trenton,
the. campaign in Delaware and the Jerseys,
wo8fd never have occurred but for his mcans
Another individual, who assisted his adop-
ted country with his fortune, was Mr.. Havne
Solomon, Il Polish Jew, of Philadelphia. His
heirs have now Il claim before Congress. for
the payment in part Of the sums advanced by
him for the actual maintenance of the mem
bers of Congress At the fine of his death,
he held S353,72 against the Confedcracy.-
The letters Of Madison and other eminent
men arc filed us vouchers of those loans, and
of the generosity of the man who refused any
remuneration, except the return OF the princl-
pal. The books Of the Bank of North Ameri-
ca show the receipts by Robert Morris from
iayne Solomon Of 100000 in cash. 1t is
certainly one Of the strongest claims ever
presented to the justice Of the nation.
ACoySEcrIcUrD rDEMocIAT.-JohnM N. Niles,
the late senator from Connecticut, has come
out in violent opposition to the Fugitive slave
law. This gentleman it will be rccollectcd,
was for many years the very head and front of
the Democracy of this State The Lowell
American says: Hon. John NJ. Miles, late
senator from Connecticut, and formerly Post
master General under Mr.. Van Buren. holds
the following bold and manly language ref
crcncc to the Fugitive slave law:
sThis law is not only 4 palpable and dam
cerous violation Of the Constitutions but is
equally subvcrsive OF all the great principles
of liberty, which free people should cherish.
The duty Of the people in respect to an un-
constitutional and oppressive law, must al
ways be in some measure question OF en-
pediency, depending on the circumstances Of
the case When danger is imminent, md re-
dress cannot be hoped for IN any other acay re-
sistance by force is noi only -juSiiGaJtc bm

to proceedings similar to those i'll Boston.

A SENSIBLE FREE NEGRo-Thc Mobile
Advertiser says: We arc Informed bya gentle
man of this city that he was applied to by
4 free boy yesterday, to buy him. The boy
urged the case strongly, stating that he was
tired and sick Of free negro liberty, and that
lie wanted 4 mastcr-prcfcrrcd to become a
slave. As situated now, when he got sick
no one cared for him, he was nowhere in
society, WAS free only in name, and was de-
tcrmincd TO be 4 slave in fact Was willing
to be put on the block and sold, if that would
make the sale legal. Here is u cud for the
abolitionists TO chew.
