I- The Editor of the True Democrat, in an article
in favor of encouraging the emigration of free negroes

Gle of the Constitution, speaking of the equality
Of the races says:
Bat so far law give equality OF privileges, 1t
has been done in Of the States, and evil has re-
salted from it.
Here is the abolition doctrine. Our doors not only
be opened for the reception of negroes from other
States but there is be inequality Of privileges. Let all
exclusion be swept away and let laws be enacted which
will give the black of Ethiopia equal social and Po
htea privileges with the white man, and we shall have
an increase to oar population that will astonsh every
one and that will soon present motley society.
Now we have objection to any man woman who
desires put themselves equality with niger

such thing and ask that shall be brought down

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.-The Hartford Times calls

have Wing National Administration now, but We
hear of no advocates for a bank.
The Democratic party were unrelenngly abused for

do wings oppose the measure.
The Democratic party have been abused for opposing
a high Tariff. Mr. Fillmore now admits that high
Tariff would be fatal the manufacturing interests.
The Democrats abused for standing firmly by
their country in sustaining the Mexican War. The
Wings took up of the leading in the prosecution

A Brocixen Scepirc from Unequal
RefrHet:OU.

Sept. 23.-Cn Sunday. the 18th instant,
there occurred in this neighhorhood-6ve
or six miles north cas-, from Hawick, N.
B.--a striking example of unequal refrac-
ton AT about quarter past FIVE in the
morning. the figure of a man was seen.
quite distinctly, walking in the air. ut a
very considerable elevation above the
ground. A man and boy walking togeth-
er first noticed the appearance: and in a.
bout ten minutes after they had seen 1t.
pointed it to a third person. The repre-
seh,a,ion is described as being that of an
old man, dressed in dark colored clothes
and an old fashioned broad bonnet. with a
walking stick in his hand.-and, when first
seen, appearing to be about hafa mile dis
iant, and magnifed tn cr 10 feet in height.
The figure was SO distinct that the nose
and other features were seen; and every
motion made in walking-such as the flap
ping Of the coattails, the handling of the
stick, STOPPING as to pick up something
from the ground, taking off the bonnet and
wipingthe forehead-was as plainly ex.
posed as if performed by man walking
on terra .trma and at the same apparent
distance. When first seen, the object was
nearly due east elevated at about an an
gle Of 90 degrees, and exposed against the
clear morning sky-ft up. as it was, by
the rays Of the approaching sun. The OBJ
server occupied position ofvery consider
able attitude, and which affords an unlnter
rupted view across the country for Is or
90 miles, when it is by Chcviot Mountain,
which lay directly in the range of the OBJ
ject, though far below It. The course
pursued by tire prial walker, was north
eastesly and descending; so that. at one
time, he gradually disappeared altogether
the head AMI shoulders remaining in
view some time after the lower parts had
vanished. After the spectators had walk
cd on about a mile further, however, thcir
course lying northnorth west, the phe-
nonlenon again became distinctly visible;
and as they had been ascending, so it ap
pcarcd corrcspondingly higher above the
hurizon, 1t was there followed by dog
which, how ever, from distortion or some
other cause, could scarcely be distinguish
ed from sheep. only its cars were larger
and more erect. All this time there never
appeared any ground along with the fig
ure. which stalkcd with long leisurely
strides athwart the clear sky--and when
last seen, and when it had descended near
cr to the horizon, became tinged ola mrid
red oy the rays ci TIE sun, and appeared
cut INTO by stripe ofred cloud. From
first to last, the spectacle was seen for a
bout the space Of half an hour; and when
IN view the second time, it appeared to be
nuch farther Of than at frsi,-perhaps a.
houitxo miles stant,-ihough, strange
to say, still distinctly and infinitely visible.
There would appear to have been some
optical illusion or nisconceptidn as TO The
distance ofrhe object,-and nothing. as yet,
Is known uf It's corporeal representative.
