OF galatine, for protection from the effects Of

Comfy BETWEEN SISTER STATES The let
ter we gave yesterday from Greensboro. Geor-
ga. relating the manner in which free cit-
zen of Massachusetts, was treated in that pat
rlOtc and constitution abiding State, could not
fail to attract attention. 1t is fine commen-
tary on the lesson the Statesman was aching
the other day, when lecturng about the case oi
the girl Rosetta'-that was not question oi
slavery. buI "a question of comfy between sis.
ter States This man from Massachusetts had
not medded with Slavery. There is no pre-
tence that he had interfered with the rights OF
others in the least. He had avowed his dis
approval OF Slavery Aand for this Freeman OF
a Free State, was treated in the most shame
full and violent manner.
Contrast this with the treatment Of the Rev
erned Mr.. Denison, that pious and exemplary
pro-Slavery Divine, while in this city and this
State. He did not hesitate to avow his odious
pro-Slavery creed among us. He came here
for the purpose of persuading former Slave Of
his to re turn with him to bondage. He ap.
pealed to her, and urged that she should go
back with him. No one disturbed him, or con-
spired to injure him. Such is the comfy OF
the free North. Contrast 1t with this act of the
South. In view Of these things let no one won
der that there is an intense feeling of opposi
ton to Slavery in the free States The South
has had warning of the feeling. Let it be.
ware how it aggraVates the sentiment by toler.
atng such gross outrages as this Greensboro
affair." 0. S. Journal.
