UNPLEAsANT DUTY.-Deputy Sergeant
Bray had most unpleasant duty to perform yes
terday morning-that of ejecting three or four
very poor Irish families from an old house Main
street between 22d and 23d, and we give him great
credit for the humane manner in which he did it -
We noticed in the crowd three or four women,
one of whom had three half starved and badly clad
children who seemed to shed bitter tears at being
put out Of doors at this inclement season. The
other women were real tartars, full of fight as
wild cats, and the sergeant and his posse could
neither turn hand nor foot till they were given to
the police and taken to the cage. After scuffie
and much jaw, the parties and their possessions
were put into the street, and the building turned
over to its proper owner.
The history of this house, from which these par
ties elected, Is simply this: Some years ago,
old Mrs. Fitzgerald the owner of this house, died
suddenly and having no relatives in the city to
take possession of it, these families did 80, and
refused either to give it up pay any rent for IT.
The husband of Mrs. F.'s daughter, then residing
in Washington city, took legal steps, through an
agent to recover the property for his wife and
child, and finally succeeded In doing SO. He then
directed 1t to be sold which his agent did sometime
since by public auction, giving the occupiers of it
notice to vacate the premises Finding that they
could not be got rid of any other way-even after
having occupied it for years free of rent a writ OF
eiectment was awarded by the Hastings Court, and
all the tenants were forcibly removed into the
street. ..-r...

SAD SIGHT.-When the three or four
Irish families were elected from Mr. Ryan's house,
on Main street, yesterday morning, we noticed in

three years old, whose toes were so badly frost
bitten, that the nails were dropping off. The mo-
Their informed US that the little creature had been
bareooted all the winter, she being unable to pur-

PREJUDICE AND INSULT.

From n paper which We are not now able to
name, 30 copy the following account Of insult Of
fercd to Frederick Douglas at Shelby, in this State.
1t was ms impotent as mean, and the 2unky who
perpetrated it seems to have been thoroughly baked
in his purpose.
Mr.. Douglass was on board when tho train
stopped at shelby, midway between Columbus and
oieNeiahd, with 20 minutes for dinner We all
hurrieu 10 the nearest seats that offered, and Fred
er'cA .ook ,ne iowermost opposite corner Of the
remUtest table, out Of reach Of the other nas.en.
gers; and attracted no other attention than ms an
object of curiosity. When about half through. nm
angry attack was made on him by the landlord,
who sought to then transfer him to a small stand
in the corner. Failing to influence him, a brawny
bully was called in, who took him by the shoulders
and attempted to remove him by force but Fred
erick sc zed hold of the table, and declined the in
vitation with an expression of counterance that
indicated an inclination and ability to take care of
himself, il he had only two to handle. lie had
intruded on no one, nor had any passenger com.
planned he had paid full price, and sid he hsd
no time to finish his dinner if be had to take a
fresh start. The passengers we're about interier.
ing in his behalf, when bio assailants left him
but he passed his plate in vain to The serving table
for a fresh supply. Mine host took his money,
and looked daggers at him, but gave him no more
turkey. lie remarked afterwards that he would
have dubbed him out of the room, but he was such
an ugly devil lie didn't want to raise a fuss with
him." lie told Frederick in passing out, that if
he didnt behave himself the next time he came
along, he wouldn't get in at all. oh" said Fred
erick, Its a public house. l did not stop for
your accommodation, but merely for my own con-
yenience."
THE incident afforded much amusement to
some southern planters in the company, who SEEM
ed to think it a small matter to kick up such a
dust about, although they greatly disliked Fred
erick and his abolition principles. An intelligent
stakeholder from Fredericksburg, Va, remarked to
me- " That is nothing strange. Northern people
come down among us and coax away our slaves,
but when they get them here they lift up their
hands in holy horror, if q colored person happens
to come within gunshot of them. To he sure, we
don't permit our slaves to eat with us, though the
women frequently sit at the same table with their
mistress, feeding the children. But il | had my
coachman Bill with me now, l would have taken
my dinner with him at the same table without hes
%itation, and a great deal rather than with one half
the loafers and rowdies / meet with along the
i route"

THE MEANNESS OF NORTHERN CON.
GRESSMEN.

Mr.. Giddings in his cores ponder ce to the Ash
tabula Sentinel says; that to a bill very recently
before Congress to grant the city authorities Of
Washington, power to pass laws for the protection
of persons and property, he Mr.. G. moved the
very reasonable amendment, that "No person
shall be imprisoned unless charged wiM crimes on
.cGsnce." The object was to prevent the imprison-
ment and sale into Slavery of free colcrcd per-
sons. An event that has been of very frequent
occurrence in the past, as it will doubtless be in
the future. Solomon Northrup is one example.
For such an object, it might have been well sup
posed, there would have been but one voice and
united action among the northern delegates in
Congress. The object it will be seen, was not to
with Slavery in the States or the territories,
but only to prevent the imprisonment and enslave-
ment of free citizens. But the shareholders were
aroused from Maryland to Alabama, and as one
man they refused this protection to free citizens.
while in the whole house of Representative from
South and North only thirty sr men could be
in favor of this simple measure of justice.
And yet, Mr.. Giddings considers even this mea-
ger vote a ~'triumph! I" Thankful for small favors
indeed the friends of liberty must be, when such a
vote is counted a triumph. Mr.. Gidcings says,
that for sixteen years he has made attempts to
bring this question to a vote and ever before with
out success.

admission to this Union as a slavcholding Statc'

Poor OLD MAN.-In some heather, and even in
barbarous lands, age secures respect, and COM
mands attention and aid. Below is an example,
quoted from the Washington Star, of the manner
in which age is treated in the American capital,

liberty from this human soul. And when he tot
tiers off with the poor hope of at last dying a free

consumed their sympathies and their manhood.

RESOLUTIONS OF SLAVE STATES.

The legislatures Of the Slave States are speaking
out, requiring fidelity to the letter, from all tleil
officials, State and Congressional. There would
seem to be no need of these resolutions, for when
has slavery ever found, among all her Southern
sons, a traitor to her cause? Southern officials
know that answering fidelity to slavery is the
vital essence Of their political existence; that to
fail in this, is inevitable political suicide. Slave
holders never fail to visit any dereliction, even in
appearance, with most certain and condigu punish
ment. The thing is SO well understood, not from
political or legislative resolves, but from GctS-.
from summary UiSidtOns, that there seems little
need of resolutions now. Nevertheless, that there
may be no lack Of fidelity in every department, the
legislatures of Missouri and North Carolina have
spoken out, and their resolutions may be found in
our columns.
We have from the past the most ample assurance
that the resolutions of these two States, unlike
those of Massachusetts, and Ohio, are not mean
ingless. They do not resolve in one direction and
act in another. They are harmonious and consist
ent in their more than diabolical purpose of sla-
very support and extension. The North some
times resolres to please the North, but always acts
to serve the South. When shall the change
come?

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN PRoDucrs.-Slavery
in its impudence, is utterly regardless of Truth.
Mr., Stephens of Georgia, recently On the floor of
the house Of representatives, affirmed that the ag-
r%icultural products of The South, greatly exceeded
those of the'Nurth. Mr.. Campbell of this State
replied, very conclusively showing the l,lsehood of
the statement And the N. Y. Tribune also pre-
pared a statement which we copy, witch places the
comparative products of the slave-holding aud the
non-slaveholding States in a light which will be Al
once apprehended by every reader. OF course, in
other departments of productive industry, the
disparity is still greater in favor of the North
Slavery with all its impotence and lying has new
err claimed superiority in mechanical aud manu-
featuring professions.
