Gambling in New York.

Notwithstanding the stringent anti
gambling law of a late Legislature,
and the scattering among the black.
legs that ensued thereupon, the old
vocation Of gambling, and the old
sharks are fourishing again as bliskly
as ever. Scarcely week passes il
which we do not hear Of one or more
victims to the arts of these blood
suckers, from among the visitors to
this city, while a constant draft is
made upon the pockets Of young men
of the city, or rather, in many cases.
upon their employers. The passion
for gaming once awaken ed, seems to
be Unsuitable, and thriyes by what it
feeds on, 1t is noteworthy that We
hear Of no movements on the part of
the police to break up the gambling

The southerners say that many of Mrs. Stoves
characters in Uncle Tom are overdrawn-that, in
particular, there existed such foul charac-
ter as Legree. Well, it has so chanced wa have
already given accounts of demons. (for they are
not men) who were certainly asbad as Legree, and
for the benefit of our readers give another example.
Il seems that man, who had hired u female slave,
living in the town Of Union, Missouri lost $40
bill. and could only account for the lost on the sup
position that the woman had stolen it. He COM
planned to her owner, who charged her with the
theft, but she most empha,icalIy denied it, aud
continued to protest her innocence. The barbar-
Ian of an owner then bent her hands backward,
tied them to her feet, and dashed cold water down
upon her. She, however. persevered in asserting
her innocence, and was finally released without
having made any confession. She was sent back
TO him who had hired her, who floeged her with a
hickory stick. until the stick split to pieces
Still no confession. After the hogging, she seized
the first opportunity to escape. and crawled on
her hands and knees into the bushes, where she
was soon sftsr found dead. Her entire back

an examination showed that both lungs and hver
were fatally injured by the blows she had rece'V-

Nothing astonshes the old parties 80 much as
the recuperatiye energy of the Free Democracy,
Defeated and thrown to the ground in one election.
Anteus-like, they spring up from mother earth

seemingly, almost irrefrievably, in the recent
Presidential contest, they had hardly received the

astonishing SIN to the outsiders, at every local or
State election VIII ich has occurred since that event.

vote!
Here in Massachusetts,. for instance, with ma
tioual defeat, and in less than week after II State
defeat. ten days had not expired, nor the
Wing paper ceased the vain-glorions boast that
the Free soil party is nothing, ere even two thou
sand dollars were pledged TO the State Central
Committee 10 aid in Immediate operations for the
very next contest.
That's the way we do things here! Kill such a
party as that! 1t cannot be done! What is
defeat to such organizations but an incentive
to renewed exertious. Th. Free Democracy is
just beginning its mission-not closing it. Its aim
and its determination is to control the general Gov
ernment as he Pittsburg platform sets forth; and
the sooner the old parties understand this The bet

of the Wing party was gone, is gone, that the eff

Slave Emancipation.

We have received from some phllanth rope
individual or association a petition AS follows
To he Honorable .Saate and House Of Rspre-
sentatiues IN Congress assembled: The UNDER
signed, citizens of respectfully
petition your honorable body to provide, by
law, that whenever any State OF the Union,
now admitting domestic slavery, shall decree
the emancipation of all slaves and the final
extinction of involuntary servltude within
her borders, an exact enumeration oi SAID
slaves shall be made, and the sum OF
dollars for each and every slave SO emanci-
pated shall be paid to such State from the
Treasury of the L. States, at such periods
and in such manner as shall best promote
the execution OF said decree.
The object Of the above is noble and the
method perhaps as good as can be devised.
