A WHITE WOMAN A SLAVE.
MARY De GRAW,
Sec. Of 4. S. c.

The following facts will perhaps have special
interest FIR such rs have Indignation only for the
enslavement of chite folks. While the enslavcment
of blacks lasts and increases, of necessity, the out
aggravated. The poor woman whose wrongs are
here 50 briefly sketched, found her white origin no
protection. with the opprcssor there there is
power. When he can with impunity, he will ex-
crcise it, irrespective of the complexion and the
relations of his victim.
The Shreveport (La.) South Uestern says:-A
woman calling herself Violet Ludlow, was arrested
a few days ago and committed to Jail, on the sup
position that she WAS a runaway slave belonging to
a. Nj. Medley, of Upshur county, Texas, who had
offered through our columns n reward of $50 for
her apprehension. On being brought before a
justice of the peace, she stated that she was n
white woman, and claimed her liberty. She as
scrts that she is the daughter of Jeremiah Ludlow,
of Pike county, Alabama, and was brought from
that county in 1858, by George Cope, who emf.
grated to Texas. After arriving in Texas, she was
sold by George Cope to a Doctor Terry, in u pshur
county, Texas, and was soon afte- sold by him to Il
Mrs. Hagen, or IIagcns, of the same county. Vi
olet says that she protested against each sale made
of her, declaring herself a free woman. She
names George Gilmer, Thomas Rogers, John Car
ret, ond others, residents of Pike county, Ala, as
persons who have known her from infancy as the
daughter of one Jeremiah Ludlow and Rene Mar
tin, Il widow at the time of her birth, and as being
a free white woman, and her father u free white
man. Violet is about instituting legal proceedings
for her freedom.

We add the following extract from Mr.. foss'
letter to the last libcratoi;
Before coming to the West, ] could not sec ana
feel rs now do the Importance Of anti-slavery la
Dor here. As in the physical, 80 in the moral
sphere Of labor, The lahorcr hcre recriVcSa much
larger return for his efforts than in Now ENGLAND.
The people are less under the influence OF scots
and parties and conycntitEalitics tLcy have
more Of individual, manly character than in the
older, and, Us they are called, more refined, but
really more bcdevilled circles Of society.
The PEOPLE hear our arguments with candor, and
if but few adopt our, peculiar, views, yet we can
not doubt that the tono and intelligence Of %unti-sla-
very feeling is somewhat improved by every such
hearing. Our friends here are in good spirits and
high hopes.
But few days since, a party of refugees, sew
cntocn in number, n very fine looking company,
passed through here III open day, en- route for
Canada.
Anumher Of friends here have been prosecuted
for aiding refugee slaves, but nothing discouraged
they continue the work, and the blessing Of those
who arc ready to perish rests upon them.
Yours for God and Humanity,

FREE DIsCussIoN.-The papers of the North are
Union, because the Boston Lecture Committee have
invited General Houston az one Of the orators in
their course of lectures on the subject of slavery.
1t is certainly, in these days of prescription, some
thing creditable, to let men speak for themselves.
There are few besides Anti-Slavery men and wo-
men, who are willing thus to trust the truth, though
we hope more and more will ere long learn the les
SON. 1t is commendablein the Boston Anti Slavery
men, to hear General Houston, if he has any thing
to say in behalf of slaveholding, and has the cour-
age to 60 to Boston and say it, which we yet very
much doubt, though his name appears in tie list
of announced speakers. But it is no credit to
General Houston to advocate such II crime as
slaveholling.
The New York Evening Post, speaking of this
invitation, says:
"When will the capital Of any southern state in.
yite any northern speaker to "lecture on slavery
upon terms like these? What sort of a reception
would Senators Sumner or Seward meet with in
South Carolina or Texas, if il were announced that,
upon the invitation of a committee of gentlemen,
they were to give their views Of the institution of
slavery? Alas, that is a test for which southern
chivalry is not yet prepared! Thank Heaven, we
have no institution at the North that we are afraid
to have discussed on all sides, and we venture to
say that no lecture in the Boston course will be so
largely attended or more respectfully listened to
than the one which is expected from General HOus-
ton, if he should deliver it, though there might not
be ten persons in his audience who are not unfriend-
ly to the institution in all its relations.

SANDWICH ISLANDs--AN OBSTACLE.

The anncxationists are making but slow prog
rcss in adding the Sandwich Islands to our ma
tional territory. From accounts published some
weeks since We expected ere this to be called upon
to chronicle the result of the negotiation, and the
appointment of a National Democratic Governor
for the Islands. But 50 far as we can learn they
have made little progress Of late. The Islanders
choose to come in as a State, while President
Pierce and his commissioner prefer that it should
come as a territory, that they may the more sue
c~essfully try heir hands at making it slave cOun-
try. For after all the Democrats have q good deal
more confidence in their own sovereignty then in
that popular kind which depends upon the people.
They had rather not trust them, not even the Is
landcrs.
But it is also said they have found another and
quite unexpected obstacle to the completion of
their wishes. One which has threatened to defeat
the whole project, and which has deferred it thu
far. The principal opponent has been Prince AL
cxander, the heir apparent to the throne.
Says a writer in the Albany journal:
1.-The Prince was implacable-the real, but not
the avowed, cause of his hostility being based
upon the fact that while travelling in this country
a few years since, and when on board Of a New
York and Boston steamboat, he was not permitted
to u take a seat at the supper table on occount Of
his color! The oficious steward who passed this
i~ndignity upon the Prince little dreamed that its
remembrance would constitute the chief difficulty
in the way of securing a new State to the Union.
Yet such is the fact and it is no secret in Hon.
olulu."
This reason of his ~lIighness is not so bad "A one
either. 1t is one too he might avow without blush.
ing. For if the sho OTIS of majesty were treated
with such inlisnity, what may be expected wher
prince and people all come upon the Democratic
level. Prejudice against color is a powerful aid
to Slavery, but here it scems to have reached a lit
tie too far.

THE KNow-NoTnINGs, are said to be prospecting
for the next presidency, Willard Fillmore and Gen
eral Houston are among the talked of candidates.
Know-Nothingism may succeed as a local influence.
1t may succeed North or South, for it can be sla-
very or anti-slave.y according to the sentiment
that surrounds it. But 1t cannot be both and sue
coed in making a President, Nor can it disregard
this question, 1t will probably fall upon the rock
of proslayery and be broken in fragments.

ANNExATIoN.-The American is not the only
government now in for annexation. The Russian
Despot and the American Oligarchs have divers
points of common sympathy. Among them is the
rage for annexation, the only point of difference
seems TO be the impelling motive. The Democrats
would annex all the world to extend the 'area of
freedom" The Russian would do the same for the
spread of religion. lie has lately been successful
in securing a large territory in the north of Asia,
lying between Siberia and China proper. The ter
ritory thus annexed is nearly as large as the whole
territory Of Italy, Austria, France and Turkey to-
gether. The region was formerly inhabited by in
dependent tribes or under the rule of China.
President Pierce must bestir himself, to equal
this fllibustering success. If he should get the
Sandwich Islands, Cuba and Dominica, he will still
be quite behind hand in the race of acquisition.

KANsAs.-A Kansas correspondent of the N. Y.
Evening Post, says that slavery is already in that
territory--that it is impossible to get white labor
that negroes Slaves of course) hire out for $3.50
to 5000 per annum-that Kansas was intended by
Providence for aslave State, which is not likely to be
thwarted in its plans--all of which is doubtless
true, except the charge against Providence.
South CAROLINA on THE NEBRASKA BILL.-The
Leader quotes from the Charleston Is. c. Times,
the following paragraph relative to the influence
OF the Nebraska bill. The Northern elections have
opened the eyes of Southerners:
"There never was a completer, more disastrous
miscarriage than the Nebraska bill. 1t has not
only blasted every expectation that was originally
formed of it, but has proved to its authors a posi-
tive and unmitig gated curse. Instead of strength,
ening the harmony of the country, it has given
rise TO the intensest resentment and discord. In
stead of giving effect and confirmation to the com
promise of 1850, it has blasted that compromise
into nothingness. Instead of securing two add.
tional slave States to the Union, it has secured two
additional free States. And instead of putting an
end to the free soil doctrine, it has given that doe
trine a power and a responsibility which it never
possessed before, and which, we believe, it could
never have attained through any other medium than
that opened by this BILL"
