RESTRAINT UPON TRAVEL.

We paid a short visit to Hartford County-a
place in which a considerable number Of the for
lner residents Of this County have recently sett ed
"a few days ago. and had a slight opportunity to
observe the practical operation Of the laws Of that
State in relation to free c0lored persons who may
be taken there by residents Of Northern States, on
business or pleasure We had with us n coored
man and upon our return we stopped at Perry
mansville, where we expected to take the cars for
home. On application to the Agent, A. d. keRn,
at the station there for n ticket far llayre de
Grace for the man who accompanied us, were
politely informed that we could not be accommoda-
ted, unless we went to Baltimore, and entered in
to bonds in the sum of two thousand dollars-that
process being necessary before We could take him
out Of the State. We protested against this mode
of procedure reminded the Agent that he knew we
brought the man into the State, and at the same
time expressed our determination TO take him out,
without going to all the trouble he seemed anxious
10 impose upon us. In reply to this, he stated
that if we could get him out Of the State, without
entering into the requisite bonds for him, could
do more than any other man had ever done. With
out further trouble left the station, and walked
to Aberdeen, Il distance of the three miles, where
We met with different sort of agent, who sold II:
ticket, with which we were enabled to reach oul
destination without being molested.

SIGNIFICANT.

Some days ago, we had conversation with an
officer in the United States army, recently from one
of the western stations, who expressed the opin-
ion that slavery would spread over Kansas in spite
of the exertons of the free state men, When we
disputed his position, he went on to show how
hopeless was the cause of freedom, how the whole
influence of the Federal Government was on the
side of slavery how all the military force in the
eighborhood could in short time be concentra-
ted and brought against those who might venture
to organize an armed resistance to the laws, how
Governor Shannon and all the territorial officers
on the side Of slavery, and would never yield
to the "Abolitionists." We attach but little i'm
portance to the individual opinion of the officer
but there is significance in the fact that all his
sympathies were in favor of slavery. He was
born and educated in a Northern State, imbibed a
hatred Of slavery with his mothers milk now he
is ready to shed his blood in defence of the thrice
accursed insttution-nay, he is ready to assist in
spreading it with the bayonet Why is it that
nine-tenths of the officers of the United States
army are pro-slavery men? is it not because
preIerment lies in that direction -Leader.

like to know whether this restriction upon travel is
. regulation Of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad Company, or whether it is n
part of the public policy OF the State Of Maryland.
In either case, it savours Of the dongs Of the
.old World than Of the workings unGec which we
orofrss 10 live.
Willie upon the policy Of our Southern neigh
bors, we may mention an incident which occurred
few years since. ~ sporting gentlemen of this
place attended the races at Elkton taking with him,
as bis servant colored boy, born ana raised in
Delaware County. While there, the boy was ar

aud detained in prison until his freedom was os-
tnbIishcd, upon which lie expected. Of course, to
be SCI at liberty and suffered to Iulh his engage
ments with his employer. The laws Of that State.
however, impose some punishment upon an inno-
eent man wronglully accused and nothing but the
payment of some eighty dollars of jail fees, by
one Of cur citizens, prevented the boy from being
sod into slavery to delIay the expenses Of arrest
ing and doanng him upon false charge. Eitlor
our notions Of civilization are very
crude on t,c people Of our sacr State have not
made much progress in enlightenment.

Henry WARD BECCHER, in his Discourse on Sun
day morning last, took occasion to express his
own opinion, in very uncquivocal terms, of those
clergyman who employ the Bible to support slavery
ntempcrancc and other prevailing sins. lie as
serted that the Holy Book was on the side Of jus
tcc and humanity and that those who perverted
it for the purpose Of sustaining any form of iniqu
ty, whatever might he their profession of ortho-
doSy were in reality the worst Of nfdels. He
said that the mother hight as rational thrust her
child under the rolling car of Juggernaut and ex-
gect to take it up alive and unharmed on the other
side, the church expect to keep men from tram
pling under their feet book which arrays itself
against all their hottest instincts and sanctions

nian Aboltonts have long been denounced as inf
dcls by the clerical apologsts and defenders of
slavery for uttering the very sentiments so elo-
quenly and earnestly expressed by Mr.. Beecher,
whose discourse reminded us of the burning lines
of Whittier:
Just God and these arc they
Who minister at Thine altar, God of Right!
Men VINO their hands with prayer and blessingslay
On Israel's ark of light;
What preach and kidnap men?

Bolt hard the captivcs door,
Paid hypocrtes, who turn
Just judgement aside, and rob the Holy Book
OF those high words of truth which search and burn
In warning and rebuke.

PROPERTY MEN.

There are not few in every community who
stand practically aoof from causes which require
their aid while protesting to be friendly. The
difficulty seems to be in suting their ideas of pro-
prety. The cause which is urged upon them is
admitted to be good but scrupes are felt as to the
incidentals Of its advocacy. The proper agents
are not employed, the proper time has not been Sc
lected the proper measures Gre not used, the
nroper spirit is not exhibited There is some lack
of proprety seen suspected, and they cannot
think Of giving or doing or speaking, TIL The I'M
perfection is remedied. Erasmus was such man
at the time of the Reformation. At heart he was
in favor reform, but he lacked the nerve to initiate
or advocate st. Hence lie excused hlmselt Tor
coming TO the aid of Luther, on the ground that
Luther was too ultra too hasty too sewers TOO re-
gardless of expedicncy. In letter written IN the
midst of the struggle, he thus expresses MIN
self:

Mt all adventures, TO engage me in the alar OF
Luther, whether will or not In this they have
acted Foolishly and have taken the surest method,
to alienate me from them and their party, Where,

myself for him. and shared the danger along win

in the most unexceptionable manner, had no IN

An absurd opostion tbis. tbo reader will readily
declare but if he belong to the administration
party, let him pause ere by making such decar-
alton, he condemns his own party. 1t is undenl-
able that the prominent measures of the Pierce ad-

the slave power, and the extension Of the accurscd

freedom. To DO the first, President Pierce sent

thow and extinction, has really no foundation in
fact. Even were it possible to limit the aggressive
evil by simple paper contracts, (which VIC main
tain is utterly impossi6le) we have no assur-
ance either through the teachings of precedent
philosophy, or history that the death Of slavery
will ensue. The slave States embrace immense
tracts OF yet unoccupied territory Many years
Will be required TO subdue these vacant tracts.
Before slavery would "die out for lack of soil and
nourshment, the nation and the Government will
have gone the broad way Of all fatless and corrupt
republics Besides we have no precedent in his
tory to induce the belief that the death Of slavery
would result from non-cxtension. Ii we had the
theory might be easier entertained But when

such policy? Slavery once existed in nearly all
OF our Northern States, but nothing else but direct
and stringent legislation effected its .overtlrow.-
The case of Slavery in the British West Indies
iorcibly illustrates this matter. There nature her
sell had built up its impossible barrier, and the
eternal ocean II sufficient guarantee against

than paper enactmcnts they were elfcctual But
