Shall We aGO Gypsylng"!

That Is the question that disturbs some Of
our Ohio politicians now. The Wings are
courting, coaxing, wheedling. Some of thorn
seem to be actually progressing towords the
Free Democracy. The Free Democracy are
helping them along, by protestations that
Whiggery is dead, and past all hope of resur-
rcction--an they may as well form new aili-
ances far truer and better than tho old past
while the Hunker Wings, swear by their gray
boards, that Whiggery is alive, and can fniistcr
at the polls, 100000 strong, and they don't
thank the Free Democrats for their alliances
and the Forest City and its like, may go where
it says the Whig party has gone, and whore oil
'free niggers" ought to go.
We like this spunky spirit. There Is less to
fear from it to the integrity Of anti-slaveIy
politics, than from the union with Wings. FREQ
| Democrats will never unite with Wings with
out letting down their standard. (It is low
enough now according to our thinking) Mar
tin Van Buren, and Prince ohm, would never
have led them "Gypsying," but for their union
| and their profered numbers. Let our free soil
men, before they strike bargain, find out
surely whether it will pay. That is always
fair question in politics. They will throw
more shot and with better execution from tho
high lands of uncompromising anti slavery,
than they possibly can if they man their guns
with tine whole 10000 wings aforesaid, II
their artillery is planted among the boggs, mid
way between free soil and whiggery.
Some of the Free Soil papers seem not alto
gethcr unmindful of the attentions paid them,
and give some hope that they may bo coaxcd
into the union. Others plant themselves firmly
in their tracks. and bid the others meet them
there and they may have union. So says tho
bravo little Aurora Of New Lisbon. Its in,hes
are few, but its courage is grand; and its heart
is Frosty enough, towards the wheeling wings.
1t will not go gypsying again. Not he. SO

an oath which shall oblige them to return fugi- !
tive slaves, then let them be blasted with the
swiftest lightning"
On that day he held that some offices did
require pro-slavery work and which he would
not take, one of which was the Marshalship.
But in the interval between then and the llth
of June he has received an illumination, ard
now he says
$50 far as pro-slavery implications are con-
ecrned, should not hove THE SLIGHTEST on
LECTION to take the commission and the oath
Of a Marshal to day" because he wouldn't do
what he thought, in March, U. s. Marshal
was bound to do SO nimblo is Mr.. Mann in
changing his ground that, 1 ween, the very
"swiftcst lightning" would have to be creased
before it could overtakc him.
Now We Garrisonians believe in Repentance.
1t is our mission to preach It without ceasing.
We, therefore, should think nothing the worse
of Mr.. Mann for having changed his opinion.
On the contrary, we should respect him for 1t.
But he must admit that whereas he was once
blind he nuw seeth or else confess that holding
the opinions he does now, he very successfully
concealed them when he was in Congress- -
When Mr.. Brownson turned Catholic, he
admitted his former errors of Faith, and all
who believed him honest, respected him for it,
But what would have been thought of him II
he had pretended that he had never been any
thing else
The only tcnable political Anti-Slavery
ground is that of Gerrit Smith and Lysandcr
spooncr. Mr.. Mann has now taken that ground
as decidedly as he is. probably, capable of TAX
ing any ground. aud the Common wealth en-
dorscs his letter. Now, gentlemen, let us have
no more shiHy-d auying-no more talking ii

South Carolina and Great Britain.


The report seems nov well established that
Great Britain has resolved to discontinue pro-
ceedings against that State, in regard to the inn
prisonmcnt of her colored seamcn. The ques.
ton was up for discussion in Parliament. Tho
Ministers thought the grievances would be best
remedicd by representation through official
agents, and by guarantees which should secure
South Carolina from any disturbance of its pub
lie and social tranquility. North Carolina and
Louisiana had modified theirs, and South Caro-
lima would perhaps follow their example. Tho
difficulty was one in common with the Free
States Of the Union, and in the case of Great
Britain, was increased by proviso in the COM
mcrcial treaties which subjected them to the
municipal regulations of the States.
South Carolina has gained triumph. And
what docs the British Minister mean by securing
The "pa5ie and social tranquility" Of South Car
oliRaf In common English it is plain enough.
But South Carolina puts another Interpretation
upon such words. She understands that tho
security of Siauery is guaranteed.
In consequence, some of the South Carolina
papers are quite gracious towards Great Bit
ain. A Charleston paper proposes that instead
of imprisonng their colorcd visitors, they should
adopt CwJeo law, permitting free colorcd
British scainon to visit the city by daylight, but
requiring them to be on ship-board by tho
ringing of the curfew, or evening bell. Quito
a consideration granted to tho British FREQ
men. Quite strcch of Southern magnanimity,
to say nothing of its reckless daring, granted
through, probably only in consideration of tho
British Minister'S assurance that their political
and social tranquility shall be guaranteed. VIII
the British people agree to such guarantee
The Charleston Mercury says:
| We learn that the case of Reuben Roberts
against Sheriff Yates or rather of Great Brit
ain against South Carolina, has come to q very
lame and impotent conclusion Orders havo
been received through the British Minister that
further proceedings in the case be discontinued,
and that their counsel be paid off and discharg-
cd. 1t is presumed that the British government
hasbooome convinced that whatever might be tho
decision of the case before the Supreme Court,
they should only gain a loss by it ; and the
| greater loss in the event of winning the suit
inasmuch as it would most certainly have been
followed notify the abrogation of the law OF
South Carolina, but that of the Reciprocity
Treaty, on which their complaint was founded .

The DUTCH IN JAvA.-The New York papers
publish accounts Of the imprisonment of Capt. Wal
ter M. Gibson, by the Dutch authorities of the ISL
and OF Java, and of his escape from their dungeons,
and safe return to the United States. He left the
United States over two years since in the Flint,
schooner, of which he was the owner and MASTER
and went, partly upon commercial adventure and
partly for the qualification OF curositv TO the East
Indies. He was Hospitality received and entertain
ed by the Dutch authorities there, until their zeal
ouses were aroused by the progress he was making
IN the acquaintance and confidence Of the natives,
and by rumors ndusriousy circulated Of the revolu-
tonary purposes he had avowed:-
''i1e was seized and imprisoned, and although re.
peaedy tried and acquitted by the local Courts,
rearres'ed again and again by the supreme authority
oil the Dutch Government and his Council, who has
power IN all Stale prosecutions, to aside the de-
clson OF the inferior courts, and cause the arrest
and Imprisonment of any suspected person, without
even assigning any cause for such proceedings. In
this way, Capt. Gibson, with his officers and men,
several OF them American citizens, and all of them
entitled 10 the protection of the American flag,
was confined IN Dutch dungeons Tor many months,
and has only just succeeded in effecling his es.
cane
The offence with which Capt. Gibson was charged
was that OF interfering with the politics of the coun.
try, and seeking TO excite the nation against the
Dutch No proof Of any such attempt has been pro-
duced, except that furnished by a letter alleged TO
have been written by Gibson to a Malay Raiah, but
which he declares TO have been a forgery. The
whole Dutch population in these islanls-Java, Sum.
atrA BOneo and the whole Eastern Archipelago docs
not| exceed $4,000, while Java has native popula.
ton OF four or live millions, Sumatra half many,
and the other islands in proportion. The people
enerprising, industrious, and have carried many
of the arts Of civilized life TO high degree of per-
lection, In Java and the Moluccas alone have the
Dutch any actual occupancy and government over
the territory Their rule in the other islands is con-
fined to the lortresses, by which they command the
mouths OF the navgable rivers. and thus exclude all
but their own ships from the rich and increasing
commerce of these fertile regions. Their forts are
occupied by about 1850 soldiers, in whose hands
rests the virtual authority the whole country.
The Times under stands that Commodore Perry was
furnished with instructions TO give special attention
to these islands and particularly to the case of Capt
Gibson, ON bis way 10 Japan.
