At a meeting of Nansemum Tribe, I. O. r. NJ,
held at their wigwam on the Sd Run of 22nd Sun
of Buck Moon G. Sun 5614, it was moved that q
committee be appointed to draft resolutions relative
to the decease, of Brother James n. Rawls, amem-
Der of the I. O.. r. Men. The Committee appointed
were Frederick W. Hunter, Lem1 r. Hunter, and
Thomas R. Darden, who. reported the following
Resolutions:
WHEREAS, As it has pleased an all-wise and in
scrutable Providence to remove from our midst a
member of this Order, our Well-beloved Brother,
James N. Rawls, who died at the residence of Miss
Ann Smith, in Somerton, NansemoEd county, Va,
on the morning of Thursday, the 10th day of July,
1854; we deem it proper to give expression to our
feelings as a body, to this sad and much lamented
event, therefore,
ResolUed, That VIC the members of Nansemum
Tribe, ]. O. r. N. have witnessed with deep and
heartfelt emotions the untimely end of our much
esteemed and beloved brother, that his principleso
morality and integrity, his meek and gentle nature
together with his gentlemanly. department, so en-.
deared him to us, that we shall strive to initiate hi
example, practice his virtues, and cherish fond re
collections Of his memory.
Resoloed, That we believe him endowed will
virtues and talents, which would have rendered
him a sOlace to his parents and relatives, and
bright and shining ornament to the community il
which he lived.
R~esotued, That we deeply sympathize with hi
bereaved parents and relatives, and feel that tAei
loss is his eternal gain. We trust that they vii
take consolation from his calm resignation to dis
ease, his admonitions to those who stood aroun
him in his last moments to prepare for heaven, an,
his victory over death. Like a tender and fraeiI
flower he has been cut down in the morning of hi
life, when manhood and hope were just bloomin
with promise.
Reso1Ued, That we, the members of Nansemul
Tribe, I. 0. R.. NJ, as a tribute of respect wear til
usual badge of mourning thirty days.
ResotUed, That a copy of these resolutions be fo1
I warHnd f0 tho Warrants nf tho dnaaaSaH and a0nIe
sent for publication to the R. G. Advocate, Spir
of the Age and Christian Sun, and also a copy
these resolutions be entered on the Minutes of tn

BILE and resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Though we should, under all circumstances, sub

PREMIUM COTTON GINS
THE BEST MADE IN GEORGIA.


A B0VE 200 of which were sold in North Caro-
IN olina last year. Griswold's Gins run lighter,
pick faster and make as good link as any saw gins
ever made. Enquire of so men in the county Of
Edgecombe who use Griswold's water box gins
They viii tell you that they are preferable to all
the gins known to them, and there are several kinds
from Georgia used there.
Mr.. John S. Brown, of Pitt county, N. c., has
one with only 40 saws that has picked at its ordin-
airy speed, 100 pounds of seed cotton in z minutes
and 6 seconds, which is more than 5000 pounds in
ten hours.
Mr.. Benjamin May, Of the saRe county, has .
forty saw gin that has picked 200 pounds OF seed
cotton in 10 minutes and stopped once during the
time. He picks easily 1890 pounds Of link per
day.
Mr.. Eaton Cobb, of Edgecombe, picks 400 lbs.
in 30 minutes-gin with 40 saws.
Mr.. Levi Dawson, picked 300.pounds seed cotton
in % minutes.
These water box gins viii last as long again as
any Others, as they never heat and consequently
never wear the journals.
Griswolds are the only FIRE proof gins.
We guarantee our gins if any man wishes it, to
surpass any gin made under the same .e~ircamstan-
ees, l. e. in the same house /; By the same gear and
steam.
We have never sent a. 40 saw.gin TO N. C. that
VIII not pick with goodyear and team 40apounds
OF seed cotton in 80, to IS minutes-in fact we make
no other.

THE IRISH IN AMERICA.

Tho Dublin Nation Of the 24th, speaks of the
~Irish,an their pro- layery tendencies, in the United
States, as follows:
In the Riots at Boston, the Irish took the part
of the authorities in comprising the restoration OF
u fugitive slave to his employers and had thoir
sEare in the bloodshod which it caused. We be
lieve they did SO in the belief that it was their
prime duty to support the Union and defend the
government; But WE CONFESS IT Is WITH THE DEEP
EST PAIN THAT We OBSERVE a DECIDED AND INvARIA-
BLE READINESS UPON THE PART OF THE IRIsH AMERI-
CANS TO SIDE WITH THr SouTu. The question of
slavery is certainly one of extraordinary ~perplex-
ity to strangers aud settlers in that liberal land.
We wish our people could keep aloof from it--but,
II that be impossible, then certainly their side
should be that of Freedom and human nature. In
no way does that fell system present itself to us
in Il more reyolting aspect than under this fugitive
slave law
In 4 slave state where the system has existed
for centuries, where the black population immense
ly preponderates and is in a condition of aboriginal
barbarism-there is somo excuse for the instinc,
of self preservation which hardens q planter
against the frantic i~nvectiyc of n mere party aboli
tionists. But when one poor human soul in ar
African drove asserts the liberty which God gay,
it, bursts its bonds, and flies to a land where skin
is no badge of seryitude, horrible is it TO see tn
citizens of n free republic arrayed with hostil
bands against each other, and spilling each other
blood, that the poor slave may be carried back t
the chain and the lash. God knows with wha
pain we see the Irish, fugitives from slavery then
selves, and often classed by the Yankee as a rae
hardly superior to the negro, aiding to slip The sldre'
collar on and sldpMe lock.

THE RENDITION OF BURNS.

Rendition they call IT. That is a harmless word,
and therefore not the right one in this case. 1t
means to yield up-to surrender-to send back.
But to do tlis is, in many cases. and pertaining to
many things, both n patriotic and n moral duty. In
thc case of poor Burns, it meant simply Kidnapping
-MAN-sTEALING-and so ought aver to be designated
and understood. BY creation and destiny, by his
deathlcss nature and the purpose of God, he was a
free nan, and, as such, had IA right to safety and
protection wherever he might choose to abide in
oil the earth. lie was no more Col. Suttle's prop
orty than was Governor Washburn or Mayor Smith,
who conspired to kidnap him. Such an act perpe-
trated in benighted Africa would be branded by
the whole nation as piracy in e~nlighten ed Massa-
chusetts, it is the test of patriotism and virtue
Those who stole him, or were accessories to the
act, deserved to be hanged rather more summarily
than pirates are usually dealt with, for various
reasons. In that case, if Justice had been melted
ont, where would be tho Boston police, or Major
General Edmands and his Regiment, or the com
pany of l.. s. Marines, or the hollow square
%rufians, or the Governor of the Commonwealth, OIL
the Mayer of che city, or Commissioner Loring, OIL
Attorney General Uallet, or the editors of the Post
C5urJ5, Times. and H1a, and so on to the end o.
the loag catalogue OF kidnappers? Under thu
ground, not above tout Of the body, not in it
But we are opposed 70 capital punishment in al
cases, and 50 only desire : that they may turn and
live and bring forth fruits meet f0y repentance.

THE VERMONT ANTI-NEBRASKA CON.
VENTION.


This Convention was by no means so timid and
cautious as our Ohio Convention. 1t pitches in"
to the full extent of it's avowed opinion Of our con-
stitutional power, and boldly demands cooperation
from all friends Of freedom.
Here are some of its resolutions
Resolrcd, That henceforth all compromises with
slavery are at an end, and our r~allying cry shall
henceiorth be the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law,
and os the interstate slave trade, the abolition of
Slavery in the District of Columbia, the prohibi-
ton Of Slavery in all the Territories of the United
States, and the admission of no moro slave States
into the Unisn.
Resolrcd, l.. That we pledge ourselves, to the
extent of our power, to the repeal of the Fugitive
Slave bill.
2. To resist the admission of Utah and New
Mexico MS slave States without constitutions ex-
Guiding Slavery.
3. To the restriction of Slavery to the States in
which it exists.
4. To the exclusion of Slavery, at the earliest
practicable moment, by all constitutional means,
from Federal Territory, Nebraska, Kansas, and the
District Of Columbia inclusive.
5. To oppose the admission into tho Union 81
any new State tolerating Slavery, whether it be
formed from Territory belonging to Texas or else
where. 100
6. To resist the acquisition OF any new Terri
tory wherein Slavery exists, unless the prohibi.
ton Of Slavery shall first have been provided

vote. and on his ballot being refused, sued the
judges Of the election. II is said that the Lofts
claim descent from one of the first families of Vir.
ginia. Some Miss Mason had an illegitimate
daughter, and to hide her misfortune, the family
put the child out to be raised by q colorcd woman
as her own. When it grew to womanhood, the
master, a Mr.. -, seduced her, and then, upon
his wife becoming jealous, he sold her to q
Frenchman, who after some time set her and her
child free. This child is the mother of the Lott
boys, and does not appear 10 have a trace of Afri-
can blood in her veins; She was raised in the
family of Col. Bond of GAINESVILLE, is extremely
fair, and her hair will not curl. The great-grand-
father of the Lott boys was an African negro, but
their great-grandmother on that side was a mulat-
to, and their grandmother q Pennsylvania German
woman, named Sarah Leunabaragher. According
to this paternity, Mr.. Lott and his boys are almost
white.

THE BOND REFUSED.

In the Lennon case, (which Virginia is now
prosecuting by appeal to the Supreme Court OF
New.York, With design to establish slavery in that
State n demand was made of Virginia for n bond,
securing the payment of costs in the suit. The
Governor of Virginia forwarded the bond, authcn-
ticated with his signature and that OF his secre-
tary. 1t was returned, as insufficient, for the fol
lowing reasons, which, in the estimation OF the
-" Mother of Presidents" will probably amount to
something like impudencc. But it really amounts
to nothing of the sort, as compared with her own
wickedness, in attempting to palm slavery upon
the State Of Ncw-York.
NETWORK SUPREME COURT.
The People, OK. rel, Louis Napoleon, respondent,
agt. Jonathan Lennon, appellant.
Take notice: / object to the security offered in
this action, and refuse to receive tho same for the
following among other reasons:
l.. There is no evidence that the Governor is au-
thorized to execute the bond for, or bind the State,
by the bond in the matter.
.. That neither the Governor or the State swear
that they. or either, are worth the requisite amount
over all debts and liabilities.
&. That neither The Governor or State would. il
case of liabilities on the bond, be subject to Tho
jurisdiction of the Court in which the action Is
pending, and hence only a moral obligation woult
devolvc on them to meet the liability.
(. That as the Governor and State claim affinity
with n section and party which repudiate compact'
based only ON moral and equitable considerations
it is to be presumed they wonld repudiatc in thi'
case.
5. If the State of Virginia were amenable to thu
Jurisdiction of this Court, yet it is objected tina
she has no assets wherewith to satisfy the execu
ton, as neither her slaves, her soil, her statesmen

mcncinS at 10 O'Clock, on the morning of the Goth
Of August, and continuing probably three days.
The distinctive principles and measures of the

part of community; "No union with slaveholdcrs,'
is beginning to be regarded by very many as a ne.
ccssary measure for the preservation Of northern
rights. And it is hoped tina, at q time like the
present; when the Impressions of slavery have be
come more outrageous than ever before, every
friend Of liberty shall be found at his post, pre-
pared to renew his pledges against oppression, ant
to make new sacrifices aad greater for the cause
of freedom.

THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERN.
MENTS.

The United States District Court for Wisconsin
is making vigorous efforts to overrule and override
Judge Smiths decision of the unconstitutionality
of the Fugitive Slave Law, and to secure the pun
ishmcnt of the Milwaukee rescuers.
Judge Miller is the man who presides in that
Court. He has charged the Grand Jury, not only
that the Act is constitutional, but also that Judge
Smith is liable to indictment as a criminal, for issu'
ing the writ of haJeas corpus. Such an official act,
he afirms, is a resistance of The law of the United
States. lie leaves the inference that State officers
in the execution of such processes of State Courts
may be lagfaHy killed by U. S. Marshals and theil
~lackeys, as they are violating the laws of the U. S
That is State sovereignty for the North.

THE HON. DANIEL MACE.

This gcrs'cman is doing good service in the
cause OF Freedom. In rop'y to an attack made
upon him blythe editor Of The La EaycHc lind. J
Journal, he writes that paper as follows, under
date OF Washington, July |, lS54.- Tribune.
Mn. EDiroR: I find in your paper Of the Goth
ult, under the head of Intrigue and Corruption, -
among other things, the following:
The continued expression of outraged senti-
ment by the Democracy Of Indiana, in relation To
Che repeal OF the Missouri Compromise, has alarm
cd Senators Bright and Petit, aud VIC learn upon
reliable aethority, but which We are not at present
10 disclose, that II proposition has been submitted
by those gentlemen to Mcssers. Chamberlain,
Mace ana Harlan, that, the Nebraska Bill having
tron passed ard be 'omc tho law of the land, il
these gentlemen will now acquiesce in tho meas
ures OF a plank in the Democratic ulatform, they
shall be nominated and reelected to Congress"
No proposition has been acccdcd to by me, nor
never will be. to acquiesc in the repeal Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise. Ny opposition was not, and is
not based upon selfish political calculation, but up
on conviction and principle. Others may not
know, but | do, that so far as SELF is concerned
more could have been made for SELF by voting for
the bill, or dclujesciDg in it, than Ivy continued op
position to it. In my opinion, acquiescencc means
this: al voted against the bill but am now sorry
for It, and ask forgiveness" A position like this
would make me forever despise myself, and justly
subject mo 10 the contempt Of all honorable men
] have never, for one moment, thought Of changing
my course, in or oUT of Congress, ON the Kansas
Nebraska Bill.
My future course will b. an active, hearty coop,
Grafton with The anti Nebraska, anti-Slavery cxtcn.
sion organization, now being efficiently formed in
all the free States, without any regard to former
political anteccdents, for the purpose of restoring
the Missouri Compromise, and doing such other
things cOnstitutionally as wii make it manifest
that at least Il small portion of this great republic
in point Of wealth, numbers and patriotism, can be
found north of Mason and Dixon's line. Should
the people, the only source of power, in the coming
elections decide against the principles / have es-
poused and those who act with me, then, and not
before will it De time to consider the doctrine of
"acquiesence." | make no terms with traitors. ]
hope You may have nothing but perfect harmony
in your State Convention Of July IL, if so, resolves
will he made by freemen that will make slaves
trcmb(cl Respectfully yours,
DANL MACE.
