PERRYsBURG JOURNAL.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER a, 1854.

E3-Our correspondent - Scribe Will
please favor us with an article upon some
other subject. The one he has prepared is
liable to criticism. In writing for the pub
lie, Git may be proper for us to say,) the per-
sonal pronoun, first person singular number,
should be as sparingly used as possible, so
that the subject, and not the writer, may
occupy the attention of the reader. But if
the writer parade his own personal qualities
for public inspection, whether he discuss
them seriously, playfully or ironically, the
charge of egotism is almost certain to be ap-
piled by some crusty reader.
Let our friend try his pen upon another
theme of more general interest. Practice
will not hurt him, but rather do him good,
whether he get before the public Or not.
The HERALD OF FREEDoM.---This is the
name of large, we'll filled and we'll printed
paper, the first number of which we have
received, dated at Wakarusa, Kansas Terri
tory. 1t is published by G. w. Brown &
Co., at So year in advance. The object of
the paper is indicated by its title, to make
Kansas free state, and to this end it ap-
peals to the friends of freedom everywhere,
who take an interest in the new territory, to
sustain this new enterprise. Extensive ar
engagements have been completed to make an
able, first class paper of the Herald of Free
dom large editorial and mechanical force
secured, and an office with steam engine at
tached, costing about $4,000. The paper
will doubtless be the best medium of intelli-
gence of the progress of the new territory.

SURRENDER OF THF FUGITIVE.

The United States Commissioner decided on the
I'd to surrender to his MASTER Col Suttle the negro
Burns recently arrested in Boston fugitive slave
He escorted to the Steamer by twelve hundred
troops, and embarked on the revenue cutter Morris
for Norfolk. Many stores were closed for the day,
and buildings draped in mourning as tokens of
sympathy for the slave. The United States flag was
seen in various quarters shrouded in black. Bells
in the City and neighboring villages were tolled.
One of the deputy marshals, it is remembered,
killed by the mob, and it required effort on the
part of the authorities to hold the fugitive during the
hearing against the attempts to rescue him by cit
zens of h1so-a6iding Boston. President Pierce gave
at once the sternest orders to the United States
Marshal that the laac must be enforced at all haz-
ards; and the government troops were on the spot
under his ORDERS ready to sustain the officers of the
law.
The law has at last trumphed in Boston but it
is evident that the people there, with some honora
BILE exceptions were either arrayed against it or in
different to the result Indeed portions of the peo
pie seem to be more deeply aroused than the
subject. The law has been enforced at the point of
the bayonet-what is such law worth to the slave
holder?

- Some of the Wing papers of the State have
been falsely stating for party effect that Gen. Dock
cry once made present of ten thousand dollars to
Wake Forest College. One of these papers, the
Milton Chronicle-whose Editor has never been ex-
cclled in the business of bbing for party purposes
puts down the sum at tacenty thousand dollars;
and the prospect that the amount would soon
reach fifty one hundred thousand dollars together
with library and four five endowments for Pro-
fessorships, but for the following from the Milton
Spectator, edited by n. j. Palmer, Esq, member
of the church with the General, and fully and
accurately informed to the affairs of the College.
The Spectator says:
GENERAL DoCKERY AND WAKE FOREST COLLEGE.
We would remark that while Gen. Dockery has
been the firm and unwaverng friend of Wake For
est College, and has been liberal in his subscriptions
to it-nether he, nor any other individual has
loaned or given the institution twenty thousand dol
lars, any thing like that amount. The Trustees
some years ago borrowed ten thousand dollars from
the Literary Fund of the State by giving personal
security worth than five times that amount;
most if not all of which they have paid back with
interest. The State could not even afford to give
them the interest, although it has done much
more for the cause of Education in North Carolina
any other institution save our State University.

MEssRs. ROGERS AND pURYEAR

& MESSRS. ROGERS AND PURYEAR
B No labored defence of the vote of these gentle
men against the Nebraska bill, will avail The great
fact that they voted without sufficient reason as Mr.
Badger himself declares against bill which forever
oblterates the Missouri line and opens the common
territories to the shareholders of the South as well
to the people of the North stands out and towers
above every thing else the people will look at that
and though they may have excuses and explana-
tions they will still enquire how it was that Messrs
Rogers and Puryear were wiser than Messrs Kerr
and Badger-how it is, that a bill so bitterally OPP
posed by Greedy and Seward, and so'howled at by
the Abolitionists, and coted against By erery Wing
from the free States is to be injurious Messrs.
Puryear and Rogers would have it believed, to the
interests and rights of the Southern States.
The Warrenton News takes the following forcible
view of the matter:
1--WE notice that in the House, two of the men,
berS from North Carolina, MeSsrS. Puryear and Rog-
ers, voted against the bill What the views of MI
PuryearS constituents may be on the subject we
know not but that this District was most wofully
misrepresented, there cannot be the shadow of
doubt. Mr. Rogers is but the representative of
minority of the District at best; but cannot be-
leve that he uttered the voice of the Wings even,
in voting against the Nebraska bill. What excuse
he may render for this vote cannot guess, nor
have any idea what defence will be made for him
by the Wing papers that have heretofore been glo-
ryfying him.
We are sorry to see that there were as many as
aco citizens of North Carolina opposed to this great
Constitutional measure. What will the Register and
the Star say to Mr.. Rogers for giving that vote?-
They cannot justify it without disparaging Mr.. Badg
er and Kerr. Is there man in the whole District
whose views reflected by that vote and if not
what sort of Representative is he who votes contra
ry to the opinion of erery of his constituents?
Taking the best possible view of the matter, we
consider Mr. Rogers as occupying an awkward po-
sition."

A great deal has been said about Gen. Dockery's
being zone of the people," and he himsefin his pub
lie addresses has not scrupled to parade his early
want of advantages of an educational kind. Now we
have heard in connexion with this matter, that Gen.
DIS. father has long been in good pecuniary circum-
stances and that had the youthful Alfred been 50
ucation than he did. We have heard also that
brother of Gen. D. did obtain fine classical educa-
tion having finished off at Paris. Now wonder
if the Gen. might not have gotten better education
than he did, fine had been so disposed? This to be
sure is very unmportant matter, and would have
never been alluded to by US, except for the dema-
gogical attempts of Gen. d. and his supporters to
make capital out of his early disadvantages.

THE CUBAN TROUBLE The Washington Star in
forms us that the President has resolved to send
Commission to Madrid for the adjustment of our diff
fcuties with Spain. The gentlemen selected for
ell Cobb Mr.. Dallas is an accomplished and expe-
renced diplomat and doubtless the abilities of Mr..
Cobb equal to the duty But constrained
to dissent from the propriety of the measure Our
Minister at Madrid is fully competent to the discharge
of the duties of his post and these supplementary
diplomats will but embarrass his efforts and postpone
ifnot prevent the settlement of dispute with the
Spanish Government. What the occasion requires
isnot pomp and pretension but energy and despatch
we believe Mr.. Soue is gentleman of too much
spirit and delicacy of feeling to submit to the impu
tation upon his official character which the appoint
ment ofauxiliary ministers would imply. = We antic-
pate from this Commission nothing but disputes
among its members, and tedious and barren nego-
tiation Richmond Enquirer.

In the House of Representatives, on Monday last

In the House of Representative, on Monday last
Mr.. Ashe of N. c., presented the resolutions of
the Convention recently held in Wilmington. Their
reception objected to by Mr.. JONES' of Tennes-
see on the ground that the Resolutions did not come
from the Legislature of State, nor from Conven-
ton called by authority of law in some State.
Mr.. Ashe explained that they passed by g
Convention representing majority of the people
of North Carolina. That he received them from the
Governor of the State, accompanied by a request
that they should be presented to the House for
sideration
Mr. Jones refused to withdraw his objection. Mr..
Badger presented the same in the Senate the 31st
We make it striking fact that the bitterest OPP
position to anything for North Carolina in Congress
invariably comes from her daughter Tennessee.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. This body adjourned this
morning, after most harmonious and agreeable
session. On Saturday evening the holy rite of Con-
firmaton was administered to twentyeght persons.
Yesterday morning, John Beckwith, Jr., of Wash
ington, and Benjamin S. Bronson of Hartford were
ordained Deacons.
A collection of $2O4 for the Educational Fund was
taken up, after the mornings DISCOURSE and at night
after sermon by Bishop Atkinson, additional
collection $554 for the Missionary Fund raised
We learned that the Convention decided that the
Bishops permanent residence should be at Raleigh
and measures taken for the construction of a
suitable residence for him in that City.
There were various matters of interest to the mem
bers of this Church transacted but we deem it
unnecessary to alludc to them here We hope, how
ever that it may not be considered out of place for
to say that the large congregations who listened
to Bishop Atknson's diseourses during the Conven-
ton, were very much pleased by the cogency and
cosencss of his reasoning, the strength and beauty
of his argument, and the bold and earnest manner
with which he enforced the truths of the Gospel up
on the minds of his hearers
The next Convention will be held at Warenton.

c.NDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR.

~ Some of the Wing papers, which are making
oHots to manufacture political capital out of the
subject of internal improvements affect to doubt Mr.
Bagg's soundness as an internal improvement man,
and have asked why the Democrats did not run the
Hon. Calvin Graves for Governor, whose casting vote
saved the Central Railroad bill. The answer to all
bis is very easy and plain. Mr. Graves, we have
reason to know, was decidedly averse to the use OF
ls name in this connection; and when it was men
toned in caucus, friend of his, who had the mat
for in special charge, rose and stated that he could
not accept the nomination, if rendered Mr.. Graves,
ue know, is the warm and attached friend of Thorn
,s Bragg-he has served with him on the Board of
internal improvements has had opportunities for
becoming thoroughly acquainted with Mfr. Braggs
views; and he will not only vote for him himself,
but as far as it may be proper for him to do so, he
will advise his friends and neghbors to do the same.
The fame of Calvin Graves is forever identified and
a proud and commanding fame it is!-with the
North Carolina Railroad. In the years to be, as the
locomotive goes laundering from the mountains to
the sea, and as the State improves, and becomes
strong, and great, and as the eyes of her sons, in
whatever land sparkle with exultaton when she is
named, CALVIN GRAVES, it will be said, was largely
instrumental in producing these results-his casting
vote gave existence to work which destined,
with its tributaries and dependencies, to shed all
these benefits upon the people and much of this lus
ire upon the character of the State He does not
hesitate to commit this important work, together
with the whole system of internal improvement, to
the hands of Thomas Bragg on the contrary, he
prefers that it should be done and will, repeat,
most cheerfully and cordially sustain him at the
mills
