THE CENTRAL ORGAN or THE DEMOCRACY.

The editors of the Washington Union hav-
ing been elected printers to Congress, and
claiming to conduct the Central Organ Of the
National Democracy, are proving their admit
rable fitness for both Offices, by daily defences
Of Slavery, and denunciations of its opponents
In this way they manifest their intense nation
atty and democracy
We also observe, that while they Indignantly
repudiate English interference with the Sla-
very Question, it is only when such interfe-
renee is on the side of Freedom. English in
reference for Slavery, they hail with exulta-
ton. Let but an article against Abolition ap-
pear in the columns of the London Times and
1t Is sure to rc-appear in the Union. The
other day, in an editorial two columns long
it presented the substance of some letters in
favor OF Slavery by an Englishman named
Ansted, who seemed to be enchanted with the
beauties Of the patriarchal system. The Union
intimatcs that could such letters but determine
the sentiment of England, the entente cor.
diais between the two countries would not be
disturbed" Foreign intermeddliug, then, ID
deprecated by the Union only when it Ia
against Slavery. But if all the newspaper
and reviews of England could be enlisted on
the side Of Slavery, what sweet frsternal feel.

and Italy, struggled for Freedom-what the
eloquence Of the lamented Clay in behalf OF
the South American Republics, when striving
for their newborn indspendence-what, but
carnations from this great Truth, and cviden-
oes of its power?
The Union, in its denunciations of the An
t-Slavery movement in Great Britain, sets
itself against the civilization Of the age, repu-
dates the fundamental idea of Progress, re-
Dukes the noblest patriotism Of this country,
and gives its sanction to the principle and pol
icy of national isolation, as recognised by
Japan, country which "Young America"
has resolved shall be brought within the circle
of international afinities and sympathies.
young America must forswear all his
principles, or gracefully recognise the right OF
the Old World to protest against the wrong
institutions of the New-just as the New
World claims the right to protest against the
wrong institutions of the Old.

" MARK SUTHERLAND"

Having once introduced correspondents or
contributors to the public, we generally leave
them to speak for themselves; and for this rea-
son we have hitherto said nothing Of the story
of Mrs. Southworth, now in course of publica-
ton in the Era. II is due to her now to state,
that from every quarter we are receiving as
surauces Of the deep interest it has excited
The work has begun, indeed, to awaken atten'
ton in England; a we'll known publishing
firm in England has lately written to Mrs
Southworth, proposing an arrangement to hel
by which she may receive the benefit of copy
right for the publication in that country.

LAW RELATING TO FREE C0L0RED PERSONS
IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
The Republic says

Inc htPuOHC eays-
Upon the advent of Mr. Maury in the office
Of Mayor of Washington, he determined upon
the enforcement of the corporation ordinances
relating to free negroes; and in one case where
the party was fined, an appeal to the Circuit
Court was taken by tho defendant, in order to
test the potcer of the corporation to enact and
enforce such law.
The defendant below was Isaac N. Cary, a
most respectable aud orderly free man of color,
and no was fined by the Justice of the Peace
ten dollars, under the following provision Of
the 9th section Of the city ordinance, of the
3lst May, 1927:
"No free black or mulatto person shall be
allowed to 90 at large through the city Of
Washington, at a later hour than ten o'clock
at night, without pass from Justice of the
Peace, or Il respectable citizen" 20, &c.
Cary was fined for being out after ten o'clock
at night without u pass, &c, and appealed.
The case was very fully argued before the
court upon the law the facts being sdmitted)
by MIR Carlisle Tor the corporation, and Messrs.
Lenox and Ratclle for the appellant
subsequently, has honor Judge Dunlop de-
liyered the written opinion Of the court, Affirm
ing the judgment
The whole Of the section of tho act from
which part is quoted by the Republic, is as
follows:
mo free Llaf y mulatto person shall be
permitted to g0 eskrge through the city Of
Washington, at Mater hour than ten o'clock
at night excepting such free black or mulatto
persons as have pass from some Justice OF

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

We have been repeatedly solicited to issue
monthly, for grstuitous distribution by clubs
and individuals interested in the spread of Free
Democratic Principles. The time has come for
undertaking such a work. If we intend to OBJ
tain the control of the Government we must
get the people on our side but we cannot do
this without convincing them that we are right
What they need is, Light, and this we intend
to give in our FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE 1t will
not be a newspaper, or take the place of any
Free Soil newspaper; il will not be furnished
even to single subscribers. The object is two
fold-to supply a document monthly, full Of
facts and arguments suitable for reference, and
calculated to make converts TO the cause of
Free Democracy And, as we consider the
support Of the State or local Anti-Slavery
papers vital, we shall keep standing, in each
number, their titles places of publication,
terms Sc, so that new adherents to the Party
may know where to supply themselves regular
ly with newspapers of kindred principles.
Every individual has his field of labor-every
club has its town district or county. They
will be glad to secure document, every month,
to circulate among those disposed to inquire
into the principles and policy of the Free DEM
ocratic movement We ask their aid in obtain
ing hundred thousand readers for the Facts
for the People,"
rpo,r EvIun Ur FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE
On the LIST of June next we shall commence
the publication of FACrs FOR THE PEOPLE, n |
monthly, designed for preservation as u docu-
ment for reference, or for general circulation
as Free Democratic missionary, especially
among those not yet familiar with the Anti
Slavery movement. 1t will be composed chiefly
Of articles from the National Era, adapted par
ticularly to the purpose named
Each number will contain eight pages and
be printed on good paper, Of the size of the
Congressional Globe, in quarto form, suitable
for binding
1t will be furnished at the following rates, by
the year, twelve numbers constituting vol
ume:
copies for SlOO
20 copies for 800
100 copies for 1900
Any person or club may, in this way, by
raising $l2, supply Ant.Slavery reading every
month, for whole year, to one hundred read
ers
All payments must be in advance
As we wish to begin on the first of June
next, and DO able to supply the demand for the
first number, orders should be sent in immedi.
ately. G. BAILEY.
Washington, d. c., April 7, 1853.
P.S. Editors of newspapers favorable to the
foregoing, will entitle themselves to six copies
of the monthly, by publishing the Prospectus,
and directing attention to it.

ly descriptive. The ease and grace of the
