LOUISVILLE.

The Richmond Examiner is quite out of humor
with the Louisville folks, for listening with so much
enthusiasm to Lucy Stone. 1t pays off the city for
this false step, by the following notice;
"The city Of Louisville is an anomaly Standing
on the borders Of the most furious Abolitonism il
has not wholly escaped the infection. Commanding
the head of the main steamboat navigation of the
Ohio its interests and tendencies determined by
the conflicting policy of the various States around
Mingling in quaint iumble the chivalry and gem
erosity Of the Kcntuckian, the keen appetite for
gain of the Northwest, the love of display of New
York and New Orleans and the fashion and frivol-
ity Of Paris, il exhibisas singular an alloy of good
and bad qualities as is to be found on the Conti-
nent. 1t is neither fish, flesh, nor fowl All fan
tastes receive passing and partial greeting there
none meet with permanent support. Thus may
be explained the mprudent tolerance which per-
mitted Lucy Stone to lecture there, and the unre-
hectng frenzy which furnished her with an audi
ence. But in all this there is nothing to excuse the
witty editor of the Louisville Journal-the first
paper in that snowy city-ior permitting either the
fascinations of the woman or his admiration for
unexpected genius, to betray him into hyperbol-
ical strain Of eulogy, in regard to one who for
getting the modesty of her SEX has by brazen and
unblushing effrontery rendered herself the most
prominent advocate at the North of all those wild
and deprayed schemes, which offend every senti-
ment Of virtue, and invite the just Indignation Of
every Southcrner."

Mr. Walkers numerous friends will learn with
pleasure, that his little daughter has far recov-
cred as to be able to return home. For their salts
faction we publish the following note;
New LYME, Nov. 2S, 1858.
DEAR MARIUs. arrived at home with my little
"Kate" last evening, after an absence Of near
seven weeks, six of which you know, were spent in
your town, by the bedside Of that sorely afflicted
child. She stood the journey very well indeed;
much better than I expected. You can easily inn
agine the joy that pervaded not only the household
but the neighborhood, her return, so little did
many ever expect to see her face again. How di-
vine is the real sympathy of friends never knew
before what blessed thing this sympathy h.
How much needed il, a father or mother watching
by the side Of loved dying child, only realize
How much received, none other than my own heart
can tell. Thanks, thanks, from the deepest foun-

poured out the rich balm of consolation into tho

Gus. They are written in heaven, and craven on
my heart Of hearts. But above all, there are two
whose tenderness and care went far towards saving
the life of my child. Their names will be held by
me and mine in holy remembrance and our prayers
will ever be that their example may be lesson to
us, teaching to sympahtze with all in sorrowand
sacrifice if it be needing for their relief.

THE LEGAL TENURE OF SLAVERY.

William Goodell has commenced q series OF
letters in the National Era, under this caption, in
which he says My first affirmation is that American
slavery is not egal that is destitute of the sane
tons of valid law"
We are glad to see this question discussed in the
Era. We hope that ere long the American people
will give it careful consideration, and that the
investigation will result in the conclusion, with
Wings and Democrats, that there is law higher
than the slave-catching law of Congress; and with
all Free SolerS that there is Constitution superior
in authority to that of the American nation; one
that is to hold its authority in all cases by virtue o
justice and right.
Mr.. Goodell defines his position as follows:
"When say that American Slavery is not legal
do not deny that there are legislative enactment,
and judicial decisions, designed and adapted to pro
tect it, ! only deny that such enactments and
decisions possess any binding or legal force. W.
all know that there may be legislative enactments
which, from various defects are void of any bindino
force and therefore the courts set them aside Tho

would have no security for their rights. Constitu
tions and Bills of Rights constructed TO guard
against the inyiolability Of Legislation. They take
for granted that there may be provisions on the
statute book, which have no legal or binding force,
and they indicate the necessity and the process of
setting them aside. And judicial decisions as well
as legislative enactments may fail of possessing the
attributes Of law. They may be, and sometimes
are in drectyiolation of law. As SUCH they are not
set aside. One court reverses the de-
cision of another court and in doing so afirms
that the previous decision was not law. The same
sourt, and sometimes the same judge, gives decis-
ion diametrcally opposite to former ono, thereby

A NEW PARTY ORGANIZATION.

A late Forrest City Democrat proposes measures
to secure the cooperation of liberal friends of free
dom in n new political organization. 1t proposes
"a conference q ,relldisposed aud sensible mon O tau
parties at Columbus, some time during the tcinter
and, if they shall agree to call a contention Of the
people in Juiy or August. We care not about mere
instrumcntalitics We are wholly Indifferent a.
bout names. He pa1t, simply, 10 hare phdt is
needed done. We desire with this view to unite
freemen Of all parties who would limit slavery and
denationalize it, and who will say, let free soil be
kept free, and human chattelism restrained within
its sectional or State bounds" who will strip bare
the National Executive of its gigantic power, and
confer it upon the people, and who would declare
boldly, eve will purge the government of central
zation and pare down its power close as the law
and justice will allow" and who, with this view,
will labor to ensure the FULL AND HEARTY cooPERA-
TIoN of the voters Of the State and the Nation upon
this independent and American basis--the basis Of
Freedom and Progress"
The extreme Hunkers vf both parties are consoli
dating and it is in the natural course of things that
the more liberal should also consolidate. Good
will doubtless come of this, and especially might We
hope for much good if the basis Of this party were
as radical for freedom as its new opponent will be
for slavery. Let all the friends of freedom labor
earnestly to bring the people to the most thorough
and uncompromising anti-slavery views, and they
will then force those views into their political q.
well as ecclesiastical organizations.
Several of the Free Democratic papers say W,
must haze platform recognizing the principle tina
slavery cannot be egalized. Says the Free Pres
byterian:
After the adoption Of such platform, the mex
thing necessary to success, is steadfast adherence t
the political organization based upon it-adherenc,
to it, not because it is our party, Gm because Il d
Irgh. This is absolutely necessary to command re
spect and ensure success. This continual waverin,
and hesitation of Free Democrats, this everlasting
turning away to cooperate with the bunker parties
on side issues, does more than any thing else t,
lessen confidence and weaken the hands of thu
friends Of freedom. If the Free Democracy will
only take right ground on all the great potica
questions Of the day, there will be no reason fc
leaving their own platform and their own candida
tes for any others. But the good Of all parties will
come to them and if this nation is not given up
God to destruction for its sins its destinies will soo
be in their hands The determination to succeed
will insure success.

j. H., which we suppose means JAcOB IIEAToS,
writes to the Columbian from Salem as follows:
Let us go to work in good faith, and thoroughly
organize the State, employ two good working men
to make it business to labos for year, and we
can by that means revolutionze Ohio and put her
on the side of Freedom. l will be one Of forty to
pay fifty dollars each, to accomplish this object
Let us have n convention about the lst Of January

Let the other hiry-nine come right forward, and
send out the men. The Free Sellers of Ohio, with
their votes counted by tens of thousands, sure
ly find them without much hunting. And two
faithful men agitating the State the slave ques-
ton, would do more for freedom than all the votes
cast in the State at the late election They shod have
not two merely but hco and trenty such men, and
visit every school district in the State One speech

DON'T FORGET YOUR MANHOOD.

John p. Hale, in his speech at the New York
Tabernacle, gave the following good counsel. Let
the people remember that men are more than all
ts-porties-creeds or opinions-that churches
and parties, and sabbNths and books, were made
for men, and not men for them, and revolution
will have been accomplished that will overthrow
slavery and its attendant wrongs. Said Mr. Hale,
forget that you are VIII gs or Democrats You re-
member that. But you forget that you are men,
and that men are far higher, and far nobler than
Wings or Democrats. The good book tells us that
God made man, Jut is not recorded rho made
Wigs and Dcmocrats!"

The Governor of South Carolina grows martial
in his last message. He says:
"South Carolina must hereafter "exist as mill

'as the Union endures there is to be no peace for

rights of person and property, under the associa-

North and the central power, has been solemnly
"and deliberately decreed. For this reason it is
Essential that the community of which he is a
