A New Paper.

A Prospectus is out for new Free Democratic
paper, entitled The Standard" to be published
in Columbus, at So a year. to clubs Of ten o.
more 81 SO year. But the best thing about the
project is the following announcement in the Pros
pectus:
" The charge of the paper will be committed to
l.. L. RICE, Esq, whose ability editor, expert
euce as practicn printer, and long tried fidelity to
the cause of Free Democracy, furnish ample
guarantees that the paper will satisfy the just ex
pectations of its Patrons"
All which we fully endorse-and if any thing
stronger in favor of the proposed editor can be
said, we prepared to endorse that also-for we
know Mr. RICE well-we know his sterling worth
his integrity, and his ability. and we know he
will prove himself one of the most accomplished
editors in the State. A paper in his hands will
deserve, and will command confidence.
We have long desmed it misfortune that we
had no central organ at the Capital, and hence we
rejoice the more in this movement and hope it
will prove successful. We cordially commend it
the County.
Our advice is
1. Subscribe for your County paper.
2. Subscribe for the s'The Standard" at Colum-
bus.
8. Instead of forming clubs for the Era which
don't need your support, and which cannot supply
the place Of State organ. form clubs for The
Standard" and thus contribute directly to the ad-
vancemet of the CAUSE in the State.

Mr. EDIToR:-I wsh to call the attention of
your readers 10 slave case, Of peculiar interest,"
the circumstances of which have been known to
me for some time.
About thirty years since, certain man ernigrat-
ed from town in this State to Augustn, Georgia
Like many New England men, he soon became
slave hoder like many, he took for his mistress, one
of his slaves. He built house for her. and visited
her frequently. She was an intelligent woman,
was well acquainted with his business affairs, and
bad good deal of influence over him.
eThey had four childrep,-thrse daughters and
son. He supported them and treated then, as
Z bis children; tbs con educated for gunsnlith,
and became quite sklful. These facts were gen.
orally known, in the community where they lived
and these statements, in fact, como from tl,nt quar-
ter. 1t WIS eomnonly supposed, however, by those
who knew the father, that he had made will,
eulanclpating his children and their mother, and
leaving bis property to them. The family declare
that he intended coming north very soon, to live
here with them. ButAe died SUDDENLY, (like St.
Clair in Uncle Tonl) no sciH ,eas found!
So far, it is no uncommon series of events under
the peculiar institution. But now comes the startling
part. The children and their mother became Of
course, the property of the heirs of the father
four distant relatives residing in Massachusetts,
and New Hampshire. The Southern neighbors
were touched by the circumstances of the case,
and represented them to the Northern heirs. The
children were at their mercy. What said those
heirs! ihey sold The mother and children sepQrateyu
at auction; and diuided the proceeds.
Let me, however, be just to them. Three of
the heirs once signed paper, berating the family.
The fourth, who held his share in right of his wife
promised. dy his wifes death bed to sign The paper
His wife died, and he then refused. The other
heirs vi elded. made attempts to redeem the fam.
~, and took their share of the rnouey.

that just experienced, can hardly be other than


elusive.
For it r,slst be considered that those cotton
orlr.,aas and politicians. which fray yieide' re-
Iuct.Lnt support &c General Scott, had iaSen sa's
a course preparatory 10 the Wig N*tio'al tzsn-

quent acquiescence. They set out With tls as
sumption that General Scott must not be noallnat
AL since his nomination would be :. Seward tr-
umtb," which all the South. and conservatives
everywhere, must repHdiate. When, therefore,
they came round, and undertook TO commend the
domination which they had SO unsparingiy denonn-
ced in advance, their adversares had ony to quote
against them their diatribss, hardly yet cold,
10 prove that on their own showing, General Scott
should be opposed and defsnted because OF Sew
ardisr1." Thus they had taken the precaution to
render their support of General Scott, nulity be-
fore they could be required 10 prolfer it The re-
| suit it is now obvious, could hardly have been
other than it is.
"But," says one, ..how docs al this prove the

efforts or hopes in so wild a speculation. They
are in no hurry to move at all; when they do take

NoRTHwoop, OR LIFE NORTH AND SOUTH.
Shouting the true character IF both. By Mrs.
Sarah Josepha Hale.
This work, by the accomplished editor of .sThe
Lady's Book" cannot fail to attract attention at
a time when Uncle Toms Cabin" "Uncle
Toms Cabin as it isl and similar works are so
popular. Mrs. Hale has located her "Yankee'
scenery among the Granite Hills of New Hump
shire, the home of John P. Hale the National Re-
preventative of the sentiments of the Free De-
mocracy, and most faithfully and graphically has
she deIninated in the persons of Squire RomiIly
and Deacon Jones the noble traits, and the grasp
ing selshnsss covered thinly with the can't of pro-
fessed pisty, which are found, the former often,
and the latter too often, among the descendants of
the Puritans.
The Southern scenery, the contrary, is
chosen in the State of South Carolina, as ultra pro-
slavery territory as can be found. Of course the
book will not suit aboIironist precisely. nor in
deed is there any Thing in it which would meet his
very strong condemnation. Neither is the book
to please stakeholder exactly, for it contains
the following sentiments:
Hill slnvery srer come to an end in .7merica ?
Yes; hecnuse wherever established it has proved
q burden 'and,a curse on the general welfare. 1t
lowers the fQhe of moral-; checks learning; in
creases the ignorance and heiplessness of women
and the ideness and dissipation of meo; 10 short it
Injuries the white race more than it benefits the
colored-so that there is an actual loss of moral
power in humanity"
The political character Of the work, so far as il
has anyi as its title denotes, conservative. 1t is
a harmless attempt at Compromise for he sake
of the Union 1t is sent forth in the spirit of tho
great +" Defenders of the Constitution, who know
North and no South, but wherever the sacred
Charter Of Union stretches it's Gordon of brother
hood, and the Eagle and The Stats keep their
guard, is their country"
But aside feom this feature of the work, and con-
sderng it literary effort it caanot fail to please
every reader. No one after beginning the book
could lay it down before finishing it. Mrs. Hule is
one Of the first writers in our land, and North
wood" is the work which established her reputa-
ton. 1t contains scenes of surprising interest and
descriptions of uncommon power, woven into tnle
that would do credit to the genius of Bulwer or
