WHITE SLAVES.

Our Southern brethren are not contented
with holding in bondage and selling the poor
African, but they have gone one step further,
and now deal in their own flesh and blood.
Read the following advertisement from the Sa.
vannah Republican:
1850 REWARD.-Runaway from the SUBJ
scriber on the 22nd ult., my Negro man AL
BERT, who is 81 years of age, very white, so
much so that he would not be suspected Of be-
ing Negro. Has blue eyes and very light
hair. Wore when he left long thin beard,
and rode common chestnut sorrel horse, with
about $40 belonging to himself.
He is about feet s inches high, weighs
about 40 lbs, has an humble and meek APP
pearance, can neither read nor write. and is a
kind and amiable fellow, speaks much like a
low country negro. He has no doubt been led
off BY some miserable wretch during nv alb
sence to New York.
The above reward will be paid for his deliv.
cry to me, or to Tison & Mackay, Savannah,
or for his apprehension and safe confinement
in any Jail where can get him.

American Slavery! the precious, priceless boon
bequeathed by the fathers of '76! Down with
the miserable wretch" who dare breathe in
the ear Of the oppressed, the magic word of
Freedom! Down with the fanatics who preach
liberty Of soul, of mind, of body! Raise high
the banner Of serfdom, that the untold millions
of the old world may be learnt to bend the
knee and yield obedience to the masters will {!
Spread the flag and let it cover all the free soil

the magnificent temple Of African, aye, finer

THE IRISH IN AMERICA.

The New York Times, IN answering note
ola correspondent who rebukes II for turn
ing into ridicule the efforts now being made
by the Irish in America to rescue and re-
deem their behaved native land, remarks
that il has often had the pleasure OF publish
ing articles from the pen Of its correspondent
well calculated to cool the irrational fervor
IL his countrymen and lead them to remen-
Der that America and not ireland was their
home. II then adds:
I" We count Confidently, therefore, upon

its oppression. Ifthey desired to reform il
