This work is devoted mainly to the proving tb.t
the dark and dreary doctrine of annibiIa,o,
which the author thinks is gaining ground i
this country, is not the doctrine ofthe scrptn,os
and that universal salvation, of which the autbo.
is a public teacher, is the doctrine of the sc,i,

The Fugitive Case in Buffalo.

testimony of the claimant himself, turns out to
be no fugitive, has been sadly misrepresnted by

1t is undoubtedly true that Daniel had been a

ANFw SLAVE CASE. An aIIedged slave
named John Boiling has been arrested in
Poukepsie and is now undergoing an exam
ination in New York. His claimant is from
South Carolina. 1t is stated that he, though
a colored man, exhibits no marks of the
African but rathar of the Indian race, and
his counsel are citing from Southern decis
sions to show that a colored person in such
a case, is presumed to be free, and placed
on an altogether different footing at trial
for freedom from one bearing the usual
marks of African descent. The trial prom

Cuba.

The actual state of affairs in Cuba is still
in the dark. Lopez may have been taken
and shot, or he may still be in the mountains
with a band of his associates. The savage
execution of the fifty prisoners, as we ex-
." 'eted, has set the whole South in blaze
. m w" .Sy,H Orleans the Spanish Consul has
been mobbed, and the United States au-
thorities put at defiance, while trying, or
pretending to try to prevent vessels laden
with armed troops sailing for Cuba. An
open rupture with Spain seems inevitable.
This is all the South want; but they may
be defeated in their main object after all.
This desperation to extend the dark do
mnion of the Slave Power may be the very
means destined by Providence to humble
or overthrow it. The Governor of Cuba
has declared his intention, if he finds the
insurgents likely to succeed, of proclaim
ing the freedom of the slaves, and armlng
them to fight for their own liberty What
would the South say to the offer of Cuba
as land of freemen instead Of Cuba as
land of slaves Would they be anxious
for annexation then? Bnt would they dare
to fit out expeditions to subjugate the thus
freed slavesl and would those slaves, in
such an event, with their remembered
wrongs, with the sympathies of England,
France, and our own North on their side,
with their taste of liberty, their dread of
the Southern lash, succumb without strug-
gle more desperate than any Of their race
ever made before And again, would not
these Southern schemers thus kiudle fire
that might not be quenched till it spread
to their own shores, and wrapped their
own domain of oppression in the consum-
ing flames?
All this is, indeed, but a speculation
But the crisis is an unusually suggestive
one The South, in their vaulting ambl-
ton, are driving their team too fast to hold
out much longer The present unparalleled
staEEof things capnot long remain There
mus4soon be a terrible revolution. The
political skies are already full Of portents,
and those portents, as we read them, point
more than ever before, to the dawnfall of
the Slave Power, if not the total annihila-
ton of American slavery,

Equal Justice.

The especial advocates of "equal JUSTICE
will probably be aba to reconcile the following
statement of facts, with their peculiar ideas Of
fair play When Danse the alleged fugitive
slave, was taken TO the Jail, wounded in a dan
gerous manner, bleeding and half senseless, he
was thrust into one Of the closest darkest, lower
cells, with prison bracelets on his wrists. The
offence with which he was charged was an at
tempt to escape from bondage and 10 live upon
the earth free man.
AT the same time Mr.. Benjamin Rurst, tbs
gentlemen from the SOUTH" charged with
committing felony, was locked up in the same
Jail. He was polite conducted by the Sheriff
and the Tailor, into an upper apartment OF the
Stone House, set apart for debtors and lady
boarders. Buffalo ReDubho.

African Cotton.

Some fifty odd years ago the first few
bales of American Cotton was stopped at
the Liverpool Custom-house on the ground
that they could not be the product of the
United States. Now, our export of that
staple exceeds in value the commerce of
any other single article sent forth by any
nation. A Vas'er structure has hardly ever
risen from a smaller beginning.
A few weeks since the weekly list of i'm
ports at the same port contained eight
bales of cotton from Monrovia, the capital
town of Liberia, besides twenty bales from
Natal Who can say that this is not the
beginning of a trade which, in time, may
rival ours in extent The African soil and
climate are more favorable to the produc-

Freesoil State Convention In Ohio.

The Freesoilers Of Ohio held large,
dignifed, but enthusiastic convention at
Columbus, OF the 2lst of August, Joshua
R. Giddings being President Samuel
Lewis, an old and tried friend of Freedom,
was nominated for Governor. The speech.
es, resolutions, and all the proceedings,
were of the right stamp, and repIete with
the right spirit. The great West is doing
nobIy. The land Of the ordinance is not
going to prove recreant to the principle that
made her what she is.

of authorizing that body to make us all slave
catchers. If then we have become entangled
without our own consent in an obligation to ex-
ecute law which shocks our moral feelings and
outrages our sympathies for the oppressed, The
obligation can at least be no more than doubt
full one. If the obligation is insisted upon,
somebody who is too Independent to bow to ma
ked judicial affirmation, should show from the
constitution itself, that that instrument favors the
passage of such a law. When this is done, 1t
should be proved that even the constitution is a
sufficient warrant for Congress to pass an I'M
righteous law, or for the people to execute it
when passed.

JULIAN's DEFEAT.-The Indiana free Soil
Democrat, speaking of the defeat of Julian,
says:
Mr.. Julian is defeated. The voice of the
4th district of Indiana has gone forth in favor of
the Compromise measures, and of the Fugitive
Slave Law especially. Mr.. Parker made that
law the only issue in the canvass, and he is
elected by more than five hundred majority. A
large number of democrats in Wayne, Fayette,
and Union, contributed to this result. The
Free Soilers of the district stood firmly, fought
manfully for Mr.. Julian's election: and II is due
to say, also, that several wings gave him their
vltes. But Mr.. Parker received the votes of
sufficient number of Bill Brown Democrats TO
outnumber them, and is elected.

ton of Cotton, and it is said produce bet
ter article more abundantly, than any that
we have in America. We hear from l.lbe-
ria that great deal of land has been plant
ed with this crop, and the same thing has
been done at Sierra Leone. A missionary
writes from there that native chiefs and
others in the vicinity are producing seed IN
considerable quantities, and that for the
first time a native had just applied to him
to buy cotton gin. He is confident that
in few years, Cotton will be extensively
exported from the West Coast generally
We trust the efforts making to accomp-
lish this end may be crowned with success
Nothing could do so much 10 put stop tic

Daniel Webster has given it as his opin.

man that no State in the Union has con-

it would be if the fugitive slave law was not
not rlgldly enforced theh South would have

CosT OF KEEPING A SLAvE.-Rlchard G.
Morris, Esq, whiting from Amherst county,
Virginia, on the 10Th of October, 149, (see Pa
tent Office Report, document No. so, page 141,)
thus estimates the cost and profit of keeping an
adult slave per annum:
LABoR.-The labor on our estates is gener-
ally performed by slaves. Those who do not
own slaves generally hire them. The small
farms are generally worked by the farmers and
their children; therefore but few white farm
laborers foI hire are to be found amongst u.s.,
and they hiIe at fIom one to two dollars per day
and board. Slaves hire generally by the year,
for farm work, at from 60 to 80 dollars and re-
turned well clothed to work on public improve
ments they hire from 100 to 100 dollars. The
cost of boarding slaves may thus be estimated
for each grown person:
$50 pounds bacon, at Z cents S105C
IL Bushels corn at 40 cents 48C
2 bushels wheat, at s. cents 1,7C
Suger, moases vegetables, milk, fresh
meat 300
