lection taken up in a colored Baptist
Church in Columbus, under The follow
ing subscription paper: /" The under

The journal or Commerce remarks,
that this " shows that Southern slaves

ed men, and free white men too, are
in distress for the necessaries Of life.
This is one Of the alternating features
of slavery, which should be taken for
what il is WORTH"

modern visitors from abroad, now-a-

Powers.

join the alliance, with view to have
influence with France against any in
surrections that may take place in the
possessions Of the former. 1t is also
reported that Portugal will join with
