SLAVE MARRIAGES.

SLAVE MARRIAGES: have n few notes on this
subject, made in Georgia. but your pleasant cores
pondcnt "NeiR," has taken the wind out of my
sails by her happy description Of wedding in
high negro life, and, with few appropriate anec-
dotes has given YOU n better understanding of the
nature of the relation that is formed between hus-
band and wife, under the institution Of Slavery,
than should have been able to do. will therefore
only add another instance in point TO her remarks,
with n few observations on the weddings of plant
alton slaves, and finish this letter the opposite
tack of negro funerals. A slave, who was hired
mot owned) by friend of mine in Savannah,
called upon him one morning while was there, to
say that he wished to marry woman in the eve
ming, and wanted ticket from him to authorize
the ceremony. 81 thought you were married,
said my friend.
"Yes, master, but that woman hab leave me
and go long wild 'nodder man."
"lndeed! Why, you had several children by
her, did you notW
"Yes, master, we hab thirteen, but now she gone
long wild 'nodder man."
"But will your church permit you to marry an
other woman so soOnY"
Yes, master, / tell 'em the woman | had leave
me and 60 long wild 'nodder man and she say she
don't mean to come back, and can't be 'spected
to lib widout any woman at all, so dey say dey
grant me de divorce"
On the plantations the ceremony Of marriage
varies very much sometimes there is none at all,
the parties merely asking leave of their master,
and as soon as a cabin is provided for them, going
to live together; sometimes it is performed by
their master, generally by the negro preacher,
often Wy white clergyman.
was standing, with my friend, Mr.. A, looking
at a gang of negroes engaged in listing cotton
field, when he said to girl who was vigorously
plying the hoe near us, is that Lucy? All,
Lucy, what's this hear about you!" The girl
simpercd, but did not answer or discontinue her
work What is this hear about you and Sam,
eh? The girl grinned and whispered, Yes, sr," b"
81 Sam came TO see mo this morning"
"If master pleases."
"Nery we'll you may come up to the house Sat
urday night, and your mistress will have some
thing for YOU"
There was no law on this plantation that the
negroes should not marry off the place, but inter-
course with other plantations was discouraged, and
they seldom did so.
When a man and woman wished TO live with
each other they required to ask tedre OF their
master and unless there was some very obvious
objection this was always granted, and cabin
was allotted to them and presents were made OF
dresses and housekeeping articles. A marriage
ceremony, in the same form as that used by free
people, was conducted by the negro preacher, and
they were encouraged TO make tho occasion mem
orablc and gratifying to all by general fcstivity.
The master and mistress, when on the plantation
always honoured the parties by their attendance
and If they were iayourite servants, the wedding
was held in the house. and the ceremony performed
by white minister,--Cor Times.

pledges himself to enforce the laws against the i'm
portaton of slaves from Africa and compel faith
ul observance of the treaties Of 1917 and 1885 for
the suppression Of the traffic. As n substitute for
slaves from Africa, he proposes and authorizes the
introduction of free Indian laborers the Asiatics

A SENSIBLE LETTER.

The "philanthropiss" of England have, for
some time past, been exceedingly trouble in spirit

crn portion Of the America coniedcracy. This sub
ieet appears to i'll their thoughts to the complete
exclusion Of all other considerations. They
~ ever open their mouths without making some
denuncatory expression in relation to the institu-
ton, and the people amonga portion Of whom ID
has its being. Placing entirely out Of view the
worse than negro bondage in which the greater
part of the population of England is held oil their
attention is turned towards the condition Of tho
Anicans in the southern SECTION Of the American
Union. Having succeeded in nbolishing Slavery
in the British w st lndies, and. by DOING ended
the prosperity OF those islands-ruined the whites
and barbarized the blacks-they now endeavor4
ing 10 bring about the same results in the United
States. Towards the accomplishment of this end,

content with stating, at home, their views upon

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
City of jefferson, Nov. %, 1858.

Mr.. josiah FOSTER, &C.: Since the reception
from you this day of the report of the Society of
Friends" adopted in London at their lato annual
meeting accompanied by work purporting to be
the journal of j. Woolman" | have carefully
perused the former, and critically examined the
latter.
The obvious meaning Of both is to discuss and
present the question of Slavery it now exists III
the several States Of this confederacy in unfair
and very partial manner. The Constitution of the
United States, as well as the Constitution of many
of our States, respectively, implicitly sanctions
and protects this institution. The citizens of tho
slave States profess TO be more capable than any
other people to determine the important questions
growing out Of the relation OF master and servant
and it is n fact, now universally acknowledged by
intelligent minds, that great and incalculable in
jury has already resulted to the slaves Of North
America on account Of the misguided zeal Of those
who have undertaken to embrace the whole uni
verse in the sphere of their philanthrophy.
Now, more than fifty years ago. the seeds Of that
fanatcism which, permit to say, are plainly
dscernable both in the report of the Society OF
Friends and in tho accompanying work Of Wool.
nan were sOwn in the great and powerful city Of
London. Their first fruits soon after gather
ed ON the Island of st. Domingo. Since that day
the spirit of tho founders Of Abolitionism has
yer slept In own country are to be found
many who, while they do not espouse the cause Of
this Institution established among us, yet there
arc few in all our vast extent who are disposed in
any way TO ngitate the subj ect. These few consti-
tutc among us exceptions to law-abiding and duti-
fu citizens, and doubtless to their phrenzied zeal
may be justly attributed the presumptuous liber-
ties which even foreigners themselves feel some
times disposed to take But find myself exceed
ing the bounds which had set for this letter and
| will therefore conclude by returning the docu-
ments and requesting, in behalf of the citizens Of
Missouri whom | represent that all such appeals
and eurts for the futcre be directed to the improve
mcnt and amelioration of the distressos and suffer-
ngs of subjects of the British nation and especial
y Of the inhabitants Of the city of London, whence
has arisen that false philanthropy which has cursed
the negroes Of the West Indies, and which only
tends to injuro the condition of the slaves Of this
Union. | have the honour &c.

COL. FREMONT AND HIS PARTY.

II is known that this gentleman has attemp-
ted TO make the trip across the country through
the Coochotope pass tn California. in the win
ter, to test its practacabily for railroad route.
II was in the vicinity Of this pass. few years
ago, that his party met with such terrible re-
verses. For his enterprise in this matter,
which is undertaken at his individual expense,
he deserves the acknowledgements of tho COM
muuity.
Until few days ngo, we had received no in
formation from him or his party. IL will be
remember that. at the outset, Col. Fremont
was taken sick and returned from the Nissou-
ri to this city: where he remained some time.
In the meanwhile his party proceeded him to
the Plains.
Lord Fitzwiiam, who returned n few days
ago from the Plains. informs US that he arrived
at Bent's Houses, situated about two miles bo-
low the river dc los Animos, tributary of the
Arkansas. at Point of Rocks in the Big Tim
Der, on tho same day that Col. Fremont left
but did not soc or speak to him.
At the Bent's House he learned that the Col.
had lost, at Salt Crock, on the Crow River, sew
en- animals. and afterward had five moro sto-
Ion from him by the Cheyepnes. These Indi-
ans subsequently, said they stole them, suppos-
ing they belonged TO the Delawares in the Col
onops party They offered to give them up,
but the Colonel refused to receive them. HIS
party before he overlook them. had consumed
most Of his provisions, at least that portion
most d srable for tho Plains, and he was COM
peled TO recruit in horses and provisions at
Bonts Houses. The impression was that his
men who had been encamped at Salt Creek,
some time before his arrival, had destroyed
most Of his provisions for tho journey.
The last snow that Lord Fitzwilliam met
with was ut Petty Encampment, about lao
miles from the "Fountain qui Bruielo Crock
down the Mountains. This gentleman has Wis
lied much of the Oregon and Washington tor
ritory. Pugets Sound, and Vancouver's Island
and as he is familiar with western life, has
been able to make manv useful operations
