Glass, of the University at Lewisburg,
on Friday, Monday and Tuesday evenings
last, were of decided interest, and evinced
high standard of cultivation. Notwith-
standing the unpleasant and almost i'm
practicable travelling, they were attended
BY large numbers of citizens.
We dislike invidous comparisons, and
deem even judicious praise of young men
in these exercises as often of injurious
tendency. Yet We can not forbear to add,
that Prof Walkers class in Elocution-
mostly new begiuuers-spoke in a man.

instructor. Their themes were good, and
they expressed thoughts exactly as if they
really felt their force and importance.

statements of Senator Mason and MIR. Bayly,
so far as Louisiana is concerned. He said:
Slavery was NEVER established in Louisi-
ana by POSITIVE LAW. Ii was introduced, tol-
Grated, sanctioned, and became in time as a
part of the common lawn. Y. Tribune,
Jan. 81, 1854.
"As part!n The Senator had too much
remaining selfregard to expose himself to be
quoted as saying that Slavery had actually
become o part of the common law 1t was
I" as q part" of it, as having no foundation in
"positive law land GGsn Tor kks) it, in %.
suming superiority over it.
The course of the Judges of the Federal
Courts under the Fugitive Slave bill, affords
further evidence in point.
On the trial of persons charged with the
rescue of the fugitive Jerry, at Syracuse, Ger
rit Smith, counsel for the accused was pre-
pared to present an argument against the
legality of Slavery, but Judge Hall would not
allow him to proceed. This outrage admits OF
no apology nor explanation, except that the
trainers Of the bill knew that such arguments
would expose the illegality of Slavery, and
consequently the unconstitutionslity of the act
itself and that the Court was aware OF the
same, and determined that, at all hazards, the
enactment, whether constitutional or otherwise,
should be enforced.
still more remarkable development, con-
sidering the reputation and standing OF the
presiding Judge, is furnished in the elaborate
opinion of Mr.. Justice Mclean, in the Circuit
Court Of the United States for the district of
Ohio, in the case of Henry Miller, Us. George
McQuerry, An alleged fugitive as reported
by Judge Mclean himself. This | must re-
serve for my next letter.

ried. These are facts which no one who ID
acquainted with the South can deny-and yet
Slavery is relied on as the means OF preserv-
ing the purity of the Teutonio blood, and pre-
venting amalgamation of the white and black
races With the known facts, of which Mr..
Preston could not be ignorant, how could he
expect any one to believe him! Slavery Is the
great amalgamator, which, if perpetuated
few centuries, will 80 mix the races in the
Southern States that purity of Teutonic blood
will not be capable of determination in vast
been cases, as Mr. Preston must know, where
mistakes have been made.* No trace of color
led to these detections, but simply personal
identity. If in one century the color OF the
races have become so mixed, as in many cases
already to be incapable of determination, what
will the next century produce in race already
SO whiteped! Those opposed to amalgama-
ton should consider these facts when they at
the same time advocate Slavery. The result /
do not predict but it promises anything else
but the perpetuation of Slavery, or the preser-
walton of the pure Teutonio blood in the sunny
South. HUMANITAs-
But short time since, whole family was ap
pretended in New Albany, directly the Ohio
from Mr.. Preston's residence, and claimed as fugi
tives from labor under the act of 1885, when all of
them white as to defy detection in any other
way than by knowledge of their persons, and that
they were held as slaves by some probably much
darker-skinned STAKEHOLDER. The citizens of Louis
vile, aidod, doubt, by Mr. Preston himself, gen
erously raised money to pay the for this fam
lily, and thus emancipate them.
A more melancholy csss occurred since, in New
Orleans, where young nan, of high prospects, mar
ried beautiful, accomplished, and educated young
lady, the daughter Of a wealthy gentleman Of that
city, and by the husband supposed to be the child
of white wife. On learning, through hor nurses,
perhaps that she the daughter Of the fathers
colored mistress he first killed her, and then took
his own life Such mistakes are frequent already
in the South, and increasing in tho ratio of a
purely arithmetcal progression.

called to go back to principles" Let it be
30. The North also WILL 60 back to "princi-
Piles the principles Of the Declaration of In
dependence, that " all men are created free
and equal n-the principles of the Constitution,
that "no person shall be deprived Of life, hber-
ty, or property, without due process of law D.
the principles of justice and the moral law,
that it is wrong to enslave or Cypress our fell
low men, or doom q territory, now FREE to that
which the best men of the South have emphat-
ically called the curse of Slavery"
9Th. Let US remember, now, that the North
has an overwhelming majority in the House OF
Representatives, clear majority in the Sen
ate, and that with every returning decennial
period this majority will increase; and that
several free States will be added before single
slave State can be ready to apply for sdmis-
sion.
18th. The bright side of the Nebraska bill is
this-that firmly believe that the North will
become from henceforth completely unanimous
on the subject of slavery; that the first wave
of Northern sentiment will sweep away these
political hucksters that another will repeal
this very Nebraska-Kansas bill that another
will declare the Fugitive Slave Law inconsist-
ent with the principles of the Constitution, and
repeal it that the present Territorial bills of
Utah and New Mexico will be modified ac-
cordirgly; that no StGUe State tciH eUer be dd-
nlitted oS siavs State into the Union: except
possibly. in the case of those formed out of
Texas; because it ia here affirmed, the South
consenting, that it is competent, honorable, and
right, for Congress to declare such admission
inconsistent with the principles Of our Con-
stitution, which it most undoubtedly is.
9Th The day Of " measures" will henceforth
be at an end, then, the Southern Daniel being
himself come to Judgment, and the day Of
" principles is to dawn VIII the North take
this position l believe the North will, and
that no earthly power can avert this result.
Nebraska has bright side, therefore. Let all
men lay this to heart take new courage, and
despair not of Liberty and Right.
