From tho True Democrat.
A Question.

The question, why the most liberal of
Southern men, IN tie past, are now the most
iiiiheral, is worthy the serious ailcntion of
the North.
We nre so much in n hurry, and the pres
cnt so absorbs our thoughts, that many of us
may not know the fact. Perhaps some may
dispute it. Yet all those familiar with the
fact cannot iail TO remember the "exireme"
liberation OF Clingman, when he voted for
the right of petition, aud up to 1913, the
| readiness Of Humphrey Marshall to lead in
the causc of emancipation in Kentucky
during that period, il the people would only
deuaih il, and the comparative bOldncss Of
IoOnIbs uEd Stephens of Georgia, in 1915,
! both IN private and public, when discussing
TIC Issue Of that aud this day. The record
tells uli this. We take from that, the follow
ing extract from speech made by Stephens,
(hy all odds the abest of the "extremists," ~
at Athens, Ga, in 1915, advocating the an-
neXaiion Of Texas;--

this "idea", they would organize parties, and
marshall their forces. Here they rest, aud
declare they will offer no candidate, and
support no candidate, for any office. Ma
lional or State, will not occupy this position.

April, aud in answer 70 the question asked

VOL. T..
An Unfortunate Debtor.

We understand, from paragraph in the New
York Post, that free negro, named Wynne,
purchased female from slavery for the pur-
pose Of making her his wife, thereby, % he i'm
ngined, freeing her from the trammels Of sho
slave dealers, and rendering her, to the fullest
extent, free woman for life. Several child
rcn wcro the result of the union; but the faith
or, having become involved in debt, his per-
sonal property has been seized, and, among the
rest, his wife and children, who have been sold
eat prices ranging from $7Il to 1927" This
transaction took place at Goldsboso, North
Carolina.
We are much inclined to doubt whether
proceeding of this description can be justified
by the laws of tho United States. Infamous as
the laws are in all that relates to our oppressed
people, and vile as the individuals prove thcm-
selves to be who are selected to carry them into
effect there is generally an appearance of legal
ity in the proceedings against us, no matter how
completely justice may be outraged.
Common usage has led us TO understand that
if whito man purchases a slave for the pur-
pose of giving lin his freedom, the slave
thonccforh, to all intcnts and purposes, is free.
If the man who makes such purchase should
Afterwards fall into debt, can the individual
on whom he has bestowed freedom. be seized
and sold for tho liquidation of his dcbtsi
In the present instance, the full worth in mo-
ncy was paid for human being who was held
in bondage; by the purchase she was emancipa-
ted the purchaser Lad no idea of converting
her into marketable property, she became por-
tion of himself and as free as himself This is
as far as common sense can sec into the busi-
ness.
But why mention common sense or common
honesty to this nation of Ayloek,, they arc both

Death Of Isaac 7, Hopper.

On Friday last, in the Slst year Of his age,
ISAAC I. EopPER closed his earthly pilgrimage,
which had been one long mission of energetic
bencvolence. When he was q lad, eleven or
twelve years old, he happened to sec an old
coloured man sitting on tho fence, watching
him with very detected countcnPncc. He
went up to him, and inquired why he seemed
so sad. "Ah," said the old man, "I was
thinking Of the time when | was a boy, like
you, before the white men came and carried me
of into Slavery, sec how my hands were torn
by clinsipg TO bushes, bramblcs, and rocks, as
they dragged me along" He held out his
hard hands, which still showed the scars left
by deep wounds in that desperate struggle
As he walked thoughtfully away, he made an
inward vow that, from that time, through his
whole life, he would be the friend of Africans /;
and faithfully ne kept this juvenile resolution
lie was one of the very earliest friends of tho
slaves, and, to his latest hour. he warmly sym.
pathized with their wrongs. lie was a promi-
nent member OF tho first Abolition Society in
Pennsylvania, and laborcd zealously with Ben
jamin Rush, DR.. Rogers, and other distinguish
ed philanthropists of the time. No man at
that period, not even eminent judges and advo-
Gates, was better acquainted with all the intri-
cacies of law questions connected with Slavery.
His accurate legal knowledge, his natural
aeuteness, his ready tact in avoiding dangerous
corners, and clipping through unseen loop
holes, Otter gave him the victory in cases that
seemed hopeless to other minds. On many of
these occasions, physical courage was needed
as much as moral tirmness; but Friend Hopper
possessed both these qualities in a remarkable
degree. When loaded pistol was pointed at
his breast, he looked the slaye-hunt steadily
in the eyes, and said calmly, Foolish man,
put up that murderous weapon Dost thou
expect to tcrrify me from my dutyi" Once
he was thrown out of second story window,
by two or three enrage1 men, who were
binding slave with cords but he ro-appeared

American Woman Whipping.

A free colored woman was committed to
Jail at Richmond, Va. and condemned TO
ihirty-nhe laslles, on the 9th inst. The
crime alleged was that of being found
without papers, and while under recogni-
zance TO appear and answer a charge of
assaulting Elizabeth King she undertook
to make her escape from the city altred as a
man.
(Haynau had better come TO this county
where woman-whipping is highly res
pectable aud no doubt phys well. .)-LiberatOr.
And this act was committed within the
bounds of this glorious 'Union-this land of
refinement, of just and christian laws, this
model republic which makes louder boast
Of all good principles that any other nation
on the globe'l Yes, and the whole Union is
bound TO aid if necessary in the enforcement
of this wOman-whipping law.
o for that day when man by wisdom
ruled, shall love his neighbor as he loves
himself; when oil shall feel that they are
equal brothers, members OF one band placed
here but for few brief moments, to perfect
themselves in love, that they may dwell
through an eternal age in bliss supreme

(and which We arc happy to sec published in
separate form) upon popular Insurance" re-
lated an anccdoto strikingly illustrative Of tho
power which lay in the hands of tho working
men to promote their own social comfort and
independence, if they would only cxelt il. A
Manchester calico-printcr was on his wedding
day, persuaded by his wife to allow two half
pints of ale d,y ms her share. lie rather
WINGED under the bargain; for, though drink
or himself, he would have preferred a perfectly
sober wife. They both worked hard and he.
poor man, was seldom out of the public house
as soon as tho factory closed The wife and
husband saw little of each other except at
breakfast but, as she kept things tidy about
her, and made her stinted, and even selfish, al
lowance for housekeeping meet the demands
upon her, he never complained. She had her
daily pint, aid he, perhaps, had his two or three
quarts; and neither interfercd with the other,
except at odd times, she succeeded. by one lit
tic gentle artifco or another to win him homo
an hour or two earlier at night, and now and
then to spend an entire evening in his own
house. But these wero rare occasions. They
had been married year and on the morning
OF their wedding anniversary, the husband
looked askanco at her neat and eomely person
with some shade of remorse, as he Observed.

with the old dame; and the wifes little capital
was the nucleus of a series of investments that
ultimately swclled into a shop, factory, ware
house, country seal, a carriage; and, for aught
Mr.. Owen knew, John was mayor of his native
borough at last.
