PnARrsEEIsM.-The Golden RLlc is a little reli.
gious sheet published in Cleveland. characterized
by its zeal rather than by its talent. Its editor is
evidently a benevolent man, though somewhat
touched with bigotry ,anda the following paragraph
shows-with a spice of that phariseeism which
says, Stand by %thyself; | am holier than thou"
lis it not wicked, rery wicked, to class infdel
aboiitionists with Christian abolitionists? Editors
do this, ministers from the pulpit do this. The
most holy, Jealous, selfsacrifcing servants of God
are classed with Garrisonites, Parker Pillsburyites
Is not this unjust? Is it not SANDER the Lasest
kind? And will not the Lord visit for this thing ?
The effort to make odious an opponent by Islander
and stigmatizing is quite common the feeblest
meanest and most reckless minds resort to it, when
hard pressed but how are we pained, mortified
when religious editors, ministers, and grave D.. d.
stoop to this baseness! Surely we have fallen
upon perilous times! !"

youth of the county, we published the other day ii
part OF the proceedings of the National Council
That body consists of a small number Of represen-
tatives of the different States, elected, we believe
annually. 1t seems that their constituents are
not all harmonious with the action Of the council.
A portion of these constituents in New York held
a meeting last week in Rev Mr.. Hodges Church. at
which the following resolutions were adopted;
Resolved, That we do not acquiesce with the
National Council of Colored People in the estab-
lishnent Of proscriptivc institutions, or in other
IN measures set forth by that body.
Resolved, That VI protest against any attempt
by any body OF meE OF any color in trying to
strengthen that which is dying out of itself.
Resolved, That i; is unwise and impolitic at this
time to establish an Industrial School or erect u
building for free colored youth if free, let them
have the freedom Of Schools in Free States.
Resolved, That we hail with pleasure the exam.

lima are agitating the following propositions, viz
To render legal the institution of marriage among
the slaves to preserve sacred the relations be-
tween parents and their young children and to re-
peal the laws prohibiting the education of slaves.
These measures, it is reported, are soon to be
brought before the legislature Of that State.
From the Legislature, we cannot of course ex-
pect any decided action in favor of such measures,
but that they are agitated by the people, is a most
encouraging indication of the progress of justice

FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE IN CALtroRNIA.-Recent
accounts from California, give the particulars OF
an attempt to carry off a young colorcd man from
the State as a slave. lie was taken as II slave to
California before its organization as a State. lie
was brought. before one Of the State Judges on a
writ of habeas corpus and released from the claims
of his alleged master. Subsequently a process
was obtained from a U. S. Commissioner for his
arrest as a fugitive slave. What was the result of
that effort to enslave the poor boy, We have not
learned.

SEVENTY PERSONS, DEcREED SLAVES BY A MARY
LAND CouRr.-Nine years ago JOAN Townsend, a
farmer of Maryland died, leaving a will, by which
he emancipated his slaves, 10 in number. Fear
ing lest his heirs might break his will and thus
defeat his humane purposes he also executed short
~ before his death, q deed of emancipation in
order if possible to make sure of their freedom.
The case has been in litigation till recently. First
the will was set aside by the Superior Court of
the State on tho alleged ground of Mr.. Thomp-
sons insanity and the seventy persons declared
slaves. The last suit, which has just been deci-
ded was brought by the friends of the slaves to
test the value of the deed of emancipation. That
too has been decided against them, and they 60
to their chains, without hope. Thus do slavehold-
ers shut up every possible avenue of freedom, and
defeat the efforts of all, even of their own mum.
Der in its behalf. Slavery they intend shall be as
hopeless as the grave, and parallel in its %continu,
ance with human existence. The Northerner who
advocates freedom, is a mad fanatic" The South
erner who emancipates his slaves, affords by that
act sufficient evidence for the courts to decide him

EIGHT PERSONS EMANcIPATED.

We find tho following Singular and importar
facts in the Cincinnati Gazette Of the 22d ins
This mother and her children have made n mos
narrow and fortunate escape from Slavery. W
trust the forty to fifty negroes" now on the Sout
Carolina plantations will be also enancipated
Certain we are that the Executors, Messrs. Ernst
IIarwood and Jollife will leave no means unat
tempted to secure this important result.
Th' Gazette says;
"Over a year since Mr.. Elijah Willis, Of Willis
ton, Barnwell District, South Carolina, came tc
this city and executed in the Office of Jolliae &
Gitchell n will, bequeathing to his wife and her
heirs and a~ssignees all his property, real and per.
sonal, 10 lie value of $4,000, consisting Of two
plantations well stocked, and from forty to City
negroes. His wife, Mary Amy Turner, and chill
dren, six in number, are mulattoes, and were held
by Willis as slaves. Mr.. Willis agreed with
Messrs. A. II. Ernst, Edward ~IInrwood, and John
Jolli0e, whom he made his executors, that they
sould lie manumittod, aid tlat tie c~xctutots
might dispose Of the remainder of his slaves at
his death as they deemed best. Mr.. Willis return
ed to his plantation. Yesterday morning he ar.
rived from the South on the Jocob Strader with
his wife, her mother and six children. After Sc.
curing a hack to convey the family up TO the Du-
mas House, Mr.. Willis with a daughter held by
each hand approached the carriage, and was in
tho act of stepping in when he was seized with a
palpitation of the heart, TO which he vas subject,
and falling backwards expired in about five min.
utes' Coroner Menzies held an inquest over the
body, and the jury returned q verdict in accor-
dance with the above facts. Mr.. Willis was about
~ years of age, a very respectable old gentleman
and has been married to Mary Amy about thirteen
years, and always manifested towards her and the
children u warm affection. lie has been in bad
health several years, and his relatives, who reside
in the Ba:nwell district, have frequently impor.
tuned him to give up his business and travel with
his family. He left home about four weeks ago,
not, as they supposed, to make said trip, but to
come to this State, free his family from slavery,
ana provide them with comfortable houses on free
soil Having done this, it was his intention to re-
turn to South Carolina, settle up his affairs, and
live the reminder of his life free from all care and
anxiety. Bad health for several years was an
additional inducement for him to pursue this
course.
The remains Of Mr.. Willis, accompanied by the
family, were taken to the Dumas House. The
family appears to he deeply afflicted by Mr.. WIS.
sudden death. They are kindly cared for. His
last will is in the possession of Flamen Ball, Esq
counsel for the wife of Willis, who will attend to
her business, and see that she obtains that be.
q~ueathed to her. The funeral of Mr.. Willis viii
take place to day.
"Thosc who affect to believe that the abolition o
slavery would lead to universal amalgamation a
the North, will please make a note of the abov,
case"
