National parties Times have somewhat changed
and the above seems to be going the rounds Of the
ant-Nebraska press pretty generally.
There was one point Of the decision Of Judge
SuARKEY in the case, we well remember, not stated
in the above brief notice. The emancipation of
the faithful woman to whom ho owed his life, who
ministered to him when all others forsooS him,
decided to he, not only "a fraud upon the law of
slavery" but An IMMORTALITY, and therefore void.
because no act involving an immortality could be
void
And now we would like to inquire Of sonie Of our
Whir bretheren of the press. if they aware Of
what became of this Judge SnARKEY, the author
of that most absurd, inhuman and and bnrba-
rous decision? Was he hurled from the bench, as
disgrace to the name of Justice and secuted from
society, as one who had disgraced the name ot hu-
manity? Was he even diSOwned by the party to
which he belonged and did that party, in its con
ventions, discaim its sympathy in, and response
bilty r,r. such an abomnable decision? Surely,
no party would think of elcvating him to n higher
post after such disgraceful exercise OF the attri-
butte of Justce What for example, was the re-
ladon Of the Wing administration Of MILLARD
FILLMORE to this execrabe Judge, and dispenser OF
Inhumanity? Who, of all the great and good
men, in this great nation of soyeregns, should be
chosen by FIlNoRE, as our COnsul,at Havana, but
this veritable Judge SuARKEY, two years after this
decision had been made and published to the
shame of Justice and the disgrace Of the Amert
can name!
/ 1t is even so Soon after the promulgaton Of
/ that decision. Judge SHARKEY was called to pre-
side ut the Nashville Convention of Southern Dis
unionists; and not long after that, MTLLARD FILL
MORE appointed and credited him as our Consul Al
Havana, to settle among other duties deyolvin2
upon him. the disturb lnces that sprung out of the
affair Of LoPEzs fillbustering expedition. Car

A SAD STORY.

The following extraordinary case occurred in
Mississippi under the slave laws of that State "a
planter afflicted with loathsomc disease.
So offensive were his ulcers that he deLcrted
by his white friends; and, while thus afflicted and
forsaken, girl, whom he owned as a slave, kindly
and patiently waited upon him. dressed his ulcers,
cleansed his person watched over him until he
eventually recovered. With gratitude and atfec-
tion to his beuefactor. he took hor to Cincinnati
O., executed to her deed Of manumssion, had it
recorded, and returned to Mississippi and there
married her in legal form. They lived together
aiectionately for many years, reared II family OF
children, and he lay upon his death-bed by will
he divided his property between his wife and chill
dren. His brothers hearing Of his DEATH came
forward and demanded the property. The widow
and children were at their demand, They, too
seized, and the validity of the marriage and
will were tried before Judge SuARHEY, of that State
who decided that the whole matter was fraud
upon the law Of Sayery--that the property be-
longed to the collateral heirs, Ills widow was
sold by his surviving brothers the children We're
bid of at public auction and both mother and
children now toll in chains, or sleep in scryilc
graves"
The foregoing sad story" in all its particulars,
was published at the time in the anti-slayory pa

lates the true policy towards them. 1t says
{" So long as we have houses to build, boats to

SOUTH CAROLINA BEGINNING TO THINK

The Palmetto State las clustered and blundered
great many years, under the bad practice Of al
lowing John c. Calhoun to think for it. As his
thinking, however subtle, for himself, as Il
politician, and not for South Carolina, as n people,
it was inevitable that those who placed confidence
in him should buster and blunder Since he has
gone, and there is controlling mind left, the
people are just beginning to Mitk. Our ncwspa-
per communication with that State is less frequent
than we wish Il was, but whenever We ser South
Carolina paper, we find some evidence Of this in
cpent process of Minkag on the part Of her cd
itors and people. We have before us the SpartaH-
burg ErpyeSc, which contains article the sub
iect of NEGRO Mechauics-The Remedy" 1t is q
reply to the Charleston Standard which it seems
has been arguing in favor of dispensing with the
services of slave labor in the mechanical arts, in
order to make room for foreign and northern white
mechanics who are flooding the Southern states"
The Handard says:-
"The nucleus of free labor that is slowly form
ing upon our Southern seaboard may gradually re-
move the institution to the farther West ana if it
is ultimately purpose to abandon slavery, it is
only necessary to yield to the gentle pressure Of
the opposition, and in few years the forests of
the West arc open to us, we may possibly wash
our hands of the wrongs SO literally charged upon
US and look upon tae crimes of other people with
the same complacency which lends SO nefable IL
charm to the face of New England"

THE CATHOLICS OF MARYLAND,

Johu Mitchell, the Protestant, patriotic john
Mitchell said in his recent public lectare at Rich
mond Va, We believe: r
alt was the South--the Catholics Of Maryland
that first set the example of religious toierau41
to Northern and TO the rest OF the world anu
Bancroft, whom New England claims as It's owni
eloquentiy dwclls upon the fact" eE.
How often must this misrepresentation of the
liberation of the Catholics of Maryland" be re
buttcf E9 the historical fact? Bishop Hughes
also claimed that Catholics tie FIRST to prcacii
and practice religious liberty on this continent.
The palm Of having first preached and prac-
teed RELIGIOUS liberty In this country" is rot duo
10 the Catholic founders of Maryland, but to tho
Biptst founders of Rhode Island. ROGER ILL.
.fANs," saws Bancroft, ''was the first in modern
Christendom to assert, in its plenitude, tie doc
trinc of liberty Of conscience the equality OF opn
ions before the law; and IN its defence, ne was tnS
harbinger Of Milton, the precursor and superior OF
jeremiah Taylor" (See Bancrofts History OF tho
United States, V. ], r. 376.l
The boased statute of Maryland vos passed tho
2lst of April, 1919. Now, in 1886, more than ten
wears anterior to this date, Roger Williams founded
the town of Providence "to be-" in his own Ian
guage, ga shelter for persons distressed OF con
science" lG44 he published his celebrated treat
ise The Bloody Tenet" denouncing the sin ct
persecution for religion. Lastly, in l64i, two
years before the Maryland Law the civil code OF
1hode Island was enacted, proclaiiHing TO all mea
perfect liberty in religion.
But what is the boasted Maryland act of tolera-
ton this lauded religious liberty heraded by
Bishop Hughes and John Mitchell? Head OF its
fines, whippings, Imprisonment, torieitares, BAN
ishment and DEATH
/ The act is l6 and II Cecillius Lord Baltimore.
! (see Laws of Maryland ait Large, ly T. Bacon
i \. d. l7Gj) Here are some Of its elanses:--
"(l) Blasphemy against God, denying our our
Saviour Jesus Christ to be the Son of God, Or de :,
nying the Holy Trinity or the Godhead OF any OF
the three persons &C., was to be pWn'saed ~H"
deuM and confscation Of lands and goods to tho
Lord Proprietary.
"(2) Persons using any reproachful words or
speeches concerning the Blessed Virgin Mary
Mother of our Saviour, or the Holy Apostles or
Evangeliss, or any of them, for the first offence to
forfeit five pounds sterling to the Lord Proprietary
or in default of payment, to be Pu6isy .h'Ppea'
and imprisoned at the pleasure of his Lordshlp or
his Lieutenant General For the second offence to
forfeit ten pounds sterling, or in defahlt OF pay
ment to be publicly ,caiPped and inprisoned as
before directed. And for third offence to forfeit
lands and goods, and be forever banished cut OF
the Province"
These are some of the provisions of this famous
enactment, which only secures to Catholics ana
Trihitarahs the rights of sip, consgning ell
n others to fines, imprisonment, scohrglhg and ban
h ishment.

A STAMPEDE AMONG THE NEBRAsKAIrEs.--Ker
Mr.. Chickering of the lIigh-st Church alluded to
as we understand in a calm and impassionate man.
ner to the encroachments OF the slave-power, and
kindred topics, in sermon delivered by him last
officials of his congregation became exceedingly
mad, and they now threaten the annihi)ation Of
the parish.
One gentleman, the Hon. Nathan Clifford, ex-
Attorney General of the United States; actually
left the church. put his hat on in decidedly irre'
weren't manner and marched out of the house at n
very indignant trot slamming the door after him.
Nobody follow ed the ex-Attorney, ex-Commlssoner
to Mexico, and would-bc United States Senator,
but boy sometime afterward. We think this
stampede will not aid materially the prospects OF
Nathan, hereafter if he should come before thb
people Of this State for an otEce.--Fonland Ttin

The following statement by n geatleman--pas-
songer in the bark William Henry, just arrived
FROM ilayana-does not afford very fnttcrinS pic
tuic Of things there. We have reason to be-
licye that what is stated may not all be relied upon
as autheutit.
- "rhe Captan-Gcncral is still pushing on his IA
Sorite scheme of forming regiments Of black troops
Every vaGabond negro who presents himself Is en-
listed, and from that moment he is an important
peisenage, he has privileges which are not CON
ceded to any private individual. lie is allowed to
wear his side arms, and to insult both women and
men with mputiny. No private individual
defend HIMSELF he must take care how he lays
his hand upon any one who wears the insignia of
Her Majesty.
| "No measure which has hitherto been adopted
by he Government has caused 50 much dissatisac-
I ton among the whole population, both European
and Creole as this and it is one which, if porsis-
ted in, will completely destroy the connecting link
between this and the mother country. And one
who is acquainted in Havana, and has been there
within the last six months, cannot but observe the
change of opinion and feeling among the old Span
ards. 1t is doubtful whether the Island was ever
worse goverencd ti.an at this moments at any rate
never since the time of ODonneil. 1t has never
! had man at its head who has been capable Of in
fctng such and so many tortures upon the inhabi-
tants, Or who has filed his pockets more rapidly
/ with the ill-gotten gains arising from the slave
tratlck, as tine present CaptGin-Genera Between
5000 and 1000 negroes are said to have been land
ed within the jurisdiction of Havana, within the
last four months, but which have been placed be-
yond the reach of bis vliunt sword by placing be-
/ tween them and him 10000 or $1,000 ounces or
three ounces for each negro. This is what is
mcnt by the English Ministers when they speak in
Parliament Of the energetic orders sent from
Spain. 1t means simply that the price is to be in
creased. Formerly, it was but one ounce now
the whole fees to all the officers amount to about
elOO for each negro But more Of this anon"
