SALE OF HENRY LoNe.-Heny Long, the re-
claimed fugitive, was sold Mt auction on Satnr-
day last, by Messrs. Pulliam a. Slade, to n gen.
tleman from the South, for the sum Of $3.50
The purchaser was the only bidder, and was re.
quired to give bond and security in the amount
Of $4,000 AZ an assurance that he would remove
Henry to the South, in compliance with the
terms Of sale. There was quite a concourse OF
persons in attendance at the auction room.
Seren hundred and fifty dollars given for
a slave the cost of whose reclamation in cash
,oas eight hundred-and but one bidder for him
at time when the average value Of able bodied
men Is almost twice as much---and the demand
for them very great
This sale confirms our statements fully M TO
the hcsitancy with which persons would pur-
chase at any price fellow reclaimed under such
circumstances, he himself being fully cognizant
of the facts.
The diminished value of the property enters
an element into the calculation, in addition to
the fifty dollars excess of cost over reimburse.
ment The owner in this case, it is true, wa.
reimbursed by the liberality of indivdusls--bu,
the South seeks rights--not charity.

The stea,nahip Ohio.

This magnificent vessel having been CON-
pletely repaired since her last stormy voyage,
starts again on her regular service the 26th of
This month. She was taken up on the sectional
dock, at New York, the National Government
dry dock at Brooklyn--the largest we have, not
being large enough for her to enter. Her planks
and timbers were found to be in perfect order
notwithstanding all the complaints of the late
Secretary of the Navy and others, that they
would suffer for want of coppesing.
| We observe that in some of the articles of
passengers on her late voyage, it is complained
that she was less safe from not being coppered
The only object in coppering ia, to prevent the
attack Of worms but as she has been running
regularly from salt to fresh water, she was not
in danger of worms.
The cause of the difficulty she experienced in
the violent storm she encountered, was the nc
cdent to one of her engines on leaving Havana
One of the cylinder heads was broken by the
negligence of the engineer, in not freeing the
cylinder from water before starting the engine !;
the only neglect he has committed in the un-
precedented length of service during which
not single accident has occurred to her en-
gines.
The injury could not be repaired at Havana,
and she had to proceed with one engine. But
that was Of immense power, and would have
brought her home in perfect safety, but for the
occurrence of tie most violent storm in eigIl-
teen years. As to the leak. it resulted from no
failure of the timbers, but from rupture in the
aange of the supply pipe, occasioned, of course,
by the violent shocks the vessel received from
the waves. But the leak was trivial. There
never was more than two feet and half of wa
ter in the hold, which in a vessel of sharp lines
was thing of little consequence since it was
kept down to that by the energy of the passen-
gers and crew. The water did not rise TO the
furnaces which are in the bottom of the ship
The Ohio has been running since September
ls4e, with undertaking regularity and without
an accident. Never has ship carried so many
passengers in such safety, comfort and speed
for so long time. A forhaving boats enough
to take off all the passengers and crew of such
vessel it is simply impracticable The owners
of the Ohio, instead of attempting that, have
done much better by spnring no expense in CIV
ing the vessel such immense strength as to defy
the most terrific storm, even when engines arc
stopped and masts shattered to splinters. In
such a storm such boat is the best Of life
boats.

The Bringing sycophancy towards persons in

accompany each other-and the transition from
the toady to the slanderer is as natural as the
transformation ofthe tadpole into the frog.

Calculating the " .iue of Union Meetings

The Columbus (Ga) Times, very justly says
The practical value to the South Of Union
meetings in the North, is fairly illustrated by
the course of Mr. Chandler, the Pennsy lvnnia
member Of Congress from the Philadelphia dis
trict. This gentleman is the editor Of the Free
soil North American Gazette. He figured AZ
ono Of the Vice Presidents Of the great Union
meeting held in Philadelphia some months ago
called under the panic created by the determined
course of the Southern rights party. The re-
solutions of that meeting and the tone of its
orators were all decided in favor of sustaining
the Fugitive bill, and stars and stripes rhapao-
dies we're the order Of the day. Well, Mr.. Vice
President Chandler takes his seat in Congress-
Mr.. Julian Of Indiana brings forward propo-
s:tion to repeal the Fugitive bill, and Mr. Chan.
dler vote for Il and backs up Mr.. Julian with alI
hs might. "A plague on all such friends."

His discussion of the various questions grow

the spirit Of freedom in the State. His opn-

patriotic. The summary process Of dragging a
man claiming to be freeman, into slavery, with
the merest form Of trial, and almost without
being allowed to interpose any Defence meets
with no approval from the sterling Wing COVER

The message will be entirely satisfactory to

We cannot, however, refrain from an express
sion Of satisfaction ut the manner in which our

We might multiply these extracts almost in
definitely from papers of all hues--politically
