WANTED, A MASTER. Not long
since the Sunday Times published
the following:
Passing down Nassau street, three
or four persons were standing inside
Of a store talking to black man,
and then invited US to come in.
Here is black man, said one of
the gentlemen swho wishes to sell
himself, as slave for $780,
We entered the store, and saw q
short, stout fellow in rags, with q
good countenance, and no indication
Of vice.
where do you bcIong?'
'To New York. I was born here
Don't you know that you cannot
sell yourself as slave in this Stato?'
what am I to do? I can get no
work; I have had no breakfast; I am
almost naked: no one cares for me,
and / have no friend. Is it not bet.
ter to have a good master whom l
can work Tor, and who Will care tor
me?'
Here was an illustration of the
practical benevolence of domestic
slavery, while it exhibited the rank
hypocrisy of the abolitionists. They
could raise $4,000 to purchase the
liberty of two mulatto girls. and yet
allowed poor black to offer to sell
himself hs slave to save himself
from starving in a free Northern
State.
Isn't it pity, Mr.. Greeley, that
the masses can read such things as
the above? Don't you wish they
couldn't? This is only one free ne
gro who wants a master. There

Durlng our Court of Sessions last
week an individual was tried for the
crime Of Bigamy, and acquitted. In
the charge of his honor, Judge Frost,
-to3$ihe Jury, he remarked that tliese
i IS no law IN tic State 81 South Clr.
olina prescribing marriage ccremo-
ial. That if a citizen wished to buy or
sell piece of land, the law prescribed
the form of the deed or title; that if
he wished to buy or sell negro, there
was legal form for the bill of sale; that
if he wished to secure The payment of
money to himself or to another at q
future time, there was legal form or
the bond or note; but for the bonds of
the most solemn and binding obliga-
tons into which man or woman could
enter, there Was no legally prescri-
bed form.
at one period marriage was held to
be religious sacrament could only be
solcmnized by the clergy: consequent
ly magistrates were prohibited from
performing the ceremony. At la
ter period 'hc law prohibiting magis
tfates from officiating at marriage con
tract was repealed. This we believe is
the extent Of legisla,ing by this
State upon the subject. Hence the
mode Of the ceremony and the char
actcr of the officiating fnnctionary are
left to the choice of the parties en-
tering into the contract. If the cou.
pied who desire to enter into the
holy state of wedlock choose to call in
clergyman or magistrate be-
fore whom to make the VOWS of
love and iielity, it is well; but if
they prefer to make their VOWS TO
each other and assume the relation OF
husband and wife, acknowledging each
other rs such before the world, it is
ais" well. BY the latter mode thev
enter into rs indissolubc n bond rs bv

form OF ceremonial, binding the par
ties to the end Of life, may to the cas-
ual observer seem trangc, but to those
who are familiar with the working OF
our system no such feeling is expert
enccd. Liberty OF conscience is a
right too sacred to be abridged by le.
gal prescription, even as to the mode OF
