Interesting Case of Breach of Promise

Interesting Case Of Breach of Promise.
FaEEsoL rersus DEMocRAT.-This important case, re-
Gently on trial before the General Court has attracted much
attention account Of the position of the parties concerned
in it, the peculiar and strange development Of private affairs
and the eminent counsel retained on both Sides
On the morning Of the trial the courtroom was densely
thronged many, doubt being attracted by curiosity see
the plaintiff Miss Nancy Freesoil, who is young and
comey lass with regular features black eyes and hair and
skin Of rather darkish hue She bore the scrutiny of the
multitude with much 6rmnes although she would times
change color during of the developments Of the trial
Messrs. Charles Sumner, Samuel e. Sewal, and Charles
Francis Adams appeared for the plaintiff
Messrs. Hallet, Gushing, and Rantou for defendant.
II Of damages, and the plaintiff by her counsel
alleged that she had been deeply injured in her character and
prospects by the defendant Charles Democrat who had
bestowed his attentions and made promises Of matrimonial
alliance by which she deceived, and her good
lost unless he would fulfil his engagements which he
utterly refused do but cruelty abandoned her to the
scom and contempt Of the world.
In proof Of these allegations, her counsel introduced ev-
dence by correspondence, verbal declarations, and positive
acts show that courship had been carried on between
the parties for tme and that Nancy had every reason
believe would end in matrimonial alliance. The cor
respondence both sides, particularly that Of the lady,
sufficiently warm In expression, containing soft sent-
and sugared phrases both prose and rayme The
reading of these oveeers caused great mh in the court
room, by which Miss Nancy seemed somewhat Disconnected
while Charles sokng his huge whskes with the utmost
camness and unconcern.
Abundant evidence introduced to show that the par.
ties kept each others company at seasonabe and
able hours and that every body with their depor
men towards each other considered it match. The cross
examination brought instances Of ckeness and
sharp reor but these only regarded by the
The plaintiff as lovers quarres, which ough, TO have
weight with the jury II also proved that the lovers often
rode out together in all sorts Of vehicles, from railroad cal
to sulkey and that on occasion they gono
through Lynn, mounted on Bay Mayor.
Proof was also given that valuable presents had been inter
changed, and particularly that Mr. Democrat had accepted

from Miss Freesoi that splendid Annua called the "Gov-
ernor well other tokens of the aon of bis mistress
The plaintiffs counsel also introduced much testimony
prove how much their fair client had been injured her
feelings and by the fahessSes of her former adj
mirer. Mrs. Caude and Mrs. Paringpn testified most feel
ingy matters relating to the various eparaons for house
keeping and foe expected event. Their pathetic state
of the disgrace and ruin caused the false
calculated draw from eyes unused weep Here
rested the for the plaintiff
The learned counsel for the defendant produced evidence
tending show that the plaintiff wal no better than she
should bethat, protesting extraor nary purity OF prnci
pie, she made the first advances and in fact did all the
courting. Her whole past history exhibited continued
es of shameless rtaons accompanied by loud professions
Of strict moral rectude. 1t Satisfactorily proved that
previous to her conneIon with Charlie Democrat she made
the acquaintance of John Barnurner of New York,
and eoped with him to Buffalo, and that he subsequently,
abandoned her. She then received h attentions Of huge
muatto fellow called Liberty, who has followed her
since She is also known to bave t her cap for spruce
young spark, called Homestead Exemjion II also out
that previous to her Eason with Charles Democrat she
sought the acquaintance of respectable gentleman, Mr..
George Wing, who checked he advances by informing her
that be already married and had family and that
he had right inclination TO dissolve the union, which
would certainly be the effect Of accepting her proposals.
Miss Nancy replied that this need n be the case that his
marriage contract only creation Of human laws, and
that ne might break his engsgementb pleading the higher
law She then put Of her bldes smies and asked
Mr. W. if he would take excursn with her to Buffalo
is needless say that Mr. w. wal proof against all her
Establishments. Her light and dseputable behavior has
given great pain her best en1 Who have used every
deavor to effect her reformation proved, by the evi.
dence Of Mr. John G. Paey that ,he took heed to his
admontions but obstinatey persisted in her shameless
course. "a
Another point, urged with great by the defendant in
mitigation Of damages the fact that Miss Freeso is
slightly tnged with African blood, and to have strong
preference for colored gentlemen for h associates.
1t eoquently and powerfully argued to the jury that
the disgrace caamies of the plaintiff were wholly owing
to her wanon behavior and did not originate with the
defendant and after brief charge by the Judge the
went to the jury who, after short consultation, returned
verdict of CENT damages the plaintiff to pay the costs

Of the character Of The Partisan Leader, (the
title Of the book referred to,) by means of which,

stupendous imposture, the Nashville Conven-

could have been no other than to prepare the pub

have received large nccessions OF fugitves from
slavery. 1t may be that many have been over
looked in taking the census, or carelessy classed
with the whites. We should be happy to be-
lieve that such has been the case for IL Is pain
full to think that in country of such abundance,
so large class, or any class have been in want
of the necessares of life and as few have emf
grated, nothing but deficient supply OF food
and clothing can account for the very limited in
crease Of the free colored people.
II is apparent that the physical condition of
the free cOlored people is growing worse, as each
succeeding census shows a rapid diminution in
the rate of increase, until in some of the States
there is an actual failing off in their numbers.
Facts like these must have their due weight
with intelligent colored men, whatever may have
been the force Of local attachment, or prejudice,
in days gone by. They cannot remain insensi-
BILE to state of things which is yearly growing
worse, and which threatens to sink the entire
class into oblivion.
Many are turning their thoughts to Canada
but if report speaks true, their physical condi-
ton there is not great deal better than in the
United States, partly owing to the rigor of the
climate, but chiefly to the want Of employment.
They should turn their thoughts to the South
I'VE mean to Africa, the West Indies, or Gen.
trail America. In former number we attempted
to show that Africa is at present the only coun-
try where the colored man can be truly free
though we are not blind to the fact that Central
America, and some provinces in Mexico, hold out
strong inducements to emigrarts, provided they
can be insured protection in the enjoyment OF
civil and religious liberty.

Free Negroes.

The Christian StaieSman, the new COLOMBIA
ton paper of this city, contains the following
article on the fee negroes Of this country. The
Statesman thinks the remedy for their decline, is
colonization. But we find on referring to the
condition OF the Liberians, that they also have
not increased. On the contrary, the reports
show that the number now in Liberia is about a
thousand less than the actual number taken
there since the colony was founded.
WHAT BECOMES OF THEM I'VE see IL stated
that there has been no increase in the free col
orcd population Of the Southern States within
the last ten years and the following table shows
that in New England there has been an sctual
dimiuution of this class of persons.

From The Mobile Resister


The new born friends of General Jackson are
quoting his opinions against the right of seces.
sion. They have made extracts from his cele.
brated proclamation to sustain them in their DO.
sitions. II is known that the Sta,e rights party
condemned the irmness OF that proclamation
Old Father Richie took exceptions to it, Mr.
Webster was more than pleased The old con-
solidation party, everywhere, were in perfect
ecstacv. They quoted it then, as they do now
Gen. Jackson saw that construction had been
put upon the proclamation that was never in
tended by him. He issued counter proclama-
ton. and caused it to be published in the
(" Globe" The following extract explains the
+" Old Hero's" views on the right of secession
Will our Union friends subscribe to this doc
trine! Will they maintain with him the rights
of the States?
'In case Of the violation of the Constitution
OF the United States, and the usurpation of pow
ers not granted by it, on the part of the func-
itlonaries OF the general government, the State
governments have the right to interpose to pre-
vent the.evil. upon the principles, which are set
forth in the Virginia resolutions of 1898 against
thy alien and sedition law, and finally, that in
extreme cases of oppression (every mode Of
constitutional redress having been sought in
vain,) the right resides with the people of the
several States to organise resistance against
such oppression confding in good cause, the
favorite of Heaven, and the spirit of freemen, to
vindicate their rights"
It will be seen from this extract, if General
Jackson does not go as far as some State rights
men feel justified, by the teachings of Jefferson
and Madison, in going, yet he is far in advance
of the submissionists of the present day.
