SUMMARY.

SUMMARY.
Tho EYeitement at Net0 Orleans, on account
of tho reported revolt among the slaves, is
mucb ridiculed by the press Of that city.
They state that the excitement originated in
this way: A slave, named Albert, the proper
~ Of DR.. Rushton, being troubled with mania
i votu, imagined in his fit that he had an
srmy and told a free negro of it who told the
Ieutenant of the police, and hence the excite
ment. On the night of the I4th instant, un-
der the influence of morphine, the negro al
hertz came to his senses, and now knows moth
ing of his confession of the night before. The
alarm from this cause, however, was general,
and the police and people were very active to
suppress disorder.
Last week we copied from the Raleigh IN.
c. Register a paragraph, that H. B. Wilson
was committed to jail on charge Of whipping
bis slave to death. The Register of 22d June
has the following paragraph:
"On Saturday last, Henry B. Wilson, who
was committed few days since under charge
Of murder, was carried before Judge Saunders,
under writ of habeas corpus. After long
examination of his case, the Judge admitted
him to bail, which he readily gave. George
W. Haywood and H. W. Miller, Esqs,, appear
ed for the prisoner"
Are we to understand from this, that murder
is bailable offence in North Carolina
The Free Democracy of Delaware county,
Ohio have nominated Raymond Burr for Rep
resentative, Ezra Riley for County Commits
sOner, and Samuel Rhesm for County Treasu-
m Shubal w. Knapp was named for State
Senstor for the district composed. of Licking
and Delaware counties.
Auguste Belmonte, appointed by President
Pierce U. s. Charge to the Netherlands, was
Consul for the Austrian Government in the
Cnited States when Webster wrote his cele-
hated letter to Mr. Hulsemann.
We see it stated, that the first proposal to
dissolve the Union, and set up Southern Con-
sderacy, was published in the Virginia Argus,
on 3lst July, 1875.
correspondent Of the Puritan Recorder
furnishes some extracts from An address to the
Prssbyterians of Kentucky, prepared by a
committee Of ten, appointed for the purpose
W the Synod of that State, in 1886, and pub
Gshed, with emphatic and unqualified appro-
baton, in the New York Observer. The ad-
dress sets forth, that Slavery produces general
RIGHTEOUSNESS among the slaves" that "mar-
rage is civil ordinance they cannot enjoy
that the system demoralizes the whites as
well as the blacks; J" that "man has no right
to arrogate the prerogatve Of the Almighty !;
he has no right, uncommissioned by his Ma
ker, either to enslave or destroy his fellow -
that the arguments drawn from the Bible in
support of DespOtism are much more plausi
bic than those in favor of Slavery that each
one OF the several things which constitute Sla-
very, is sinful" that "none of us believe that
God has SO created whole race, that it is
better for them to remain in perpetual bond
age% and that it is Z" the unquestionable duty
Of every Christian to use vigorous and imme-
Ncs measures for the destruction of this whos
system, and for the removal of all its unhappy
fstsn
The Observer does not now entertain the
Opnons expressed by the Christians of Ken
lucky in 1886. 1t should remember that no
statute s Of limitations will apply in this case.
"hat was true of the system of Slavery seven
Teen years ago, is true now.
