following just and liberal views of our Sec
ton: ain the cliivalro,ls South the indiyil-
'l:al IN vlndication of his honor, of which
the law of the land takes no copnizlnce
practices code that violates alike the stat
ute and the common law. The conscnucn-
ces Tor the most part rest with the indivyidu-
al. But You will rarely SEQ mobs assem-
bling to burn churches or to violate the con.
sttution, south of Mason and Dixon's linc
There The majesty Of the law is respected
and upheld by the aggregate people. There
no Angel Gabriel sounds his horn, disturb
ing the quiet Sabbath and calling together
bands of rowdics. There, no Salem witch
craft nor Blue Laws, nor BIoomcrism, nor
Woman's Rights, nor Mormonis,n, nor Mil
lerism, nor Anti-Popery, nor Spirit Tapping
nor Socialism, nor other monStrous proluc-
tons, have sprung up TO choke the healthy
growth of freedom. The poisonous weeds
and fungi belong to the North, and are cul-
tivatcd to the highest perfection by the
wise men of the East. In the South there
is no persecution for conscience sake. TWAS
the Soutll-tllc Catholics of Maryland
that first set the example Of religious to,er-
alton to Northern men and to the rest of
the world, and Bancroft, whom England
claims as its own, eloqucntly dwclls upon
the fact. And still the North not only iags
behind the South in q true estimate of this,

retrograding to the charnels of tho Round
heads in quest of the dry bones of decayetl

Gerrit Smith VS.. MIR. Coloook.

Frederic Douglass paper contains letter
from Gerrit Smith, in which he relates how
he was instrumental in procuring the par
don OF lianson. The same paper speaks ot
this case as showing practical benevolence'
on the. part of Mr.. Smith. So it does: ku,
we see IN it also the same evidence of 'prac.
tical L.cvolence" on the part of several
slave!olding members of Congress, whom
abolition is wont to stigmatizc with all sorts
OF evil epitlcts. Mr.. Smith says:
"llanson is the pcrsosssho was convicted
in Washington, four years ago, of harborine
the three slaves, who had run away from
MIR. Colcock, Of South Carolina. Mr.. G..
was amembcr Of Congress; and had brought
these slaves to Washington. Hanson is a
free colored man, and was living at that
time with i. $. Coke, ESQ, distinguished
lawyer Of Washington.
n heavy finc-some twelve or thirteen
hundred dollars, as undcrstood--was i'm
posed upon Hanson, and lie was to remain
IN jail until it was paid. l did not wisl, to
pay tie fine. But SO deeply was interest
cd in the poor fellow, that determined not
TO leave Washington without having first
seen him ut liberty.
In behalf of this object addressed a let.
ter to all the members of our House from
South Carolina, and followed it up with per-
sonal interviews with them all.
They behaved handsomely. Not one of
them intcrposcl an objection to his liberia
ton. Gov. A. and Mr.. Orr took deep in
terest in the case. The latter went to the
Presidents House to plead for IIanson's par
don.
llanson was parloncd. There is credit
luc to the President for his pardon; but
more credit is due to the South Carolina
delegation. And | must not omit TO ac-
the fact, that Nj. CoIcock him
:elf expressed his entire consent to have
Hanson parloncd.

w;holming. The poorer classes most especi-
ally feel them SO. The mechanic, the labor
er, and the tradesman, with little or no capi-
tal-as is generally the case-how can they
succeed in enterprise, or in living, even, Il
they are noe paid as they gos If they are
paid, they too can pay. The reform, there
fore, must begin, not like most others, at the
bottom of the scale, but at the ton
with the rich. Let them incur no
debts to those whom they employ, or with
whom they trade, and all classes below them
in means can be free of debt. Debts arc
