For these reasons we prefer having him among Us

RIGHTS VS.. WRONGS.

In our earlier years we used to hcard great deal
about State riyhtS. But what about State tcIORgsE
In admitting the legality of State Slavery, we give
support to State wrong. Slavery is n wrong-a
national wrong--an individual wrOug-wrong,and
only wrong, and that continually. Nothing so
foul but slavery fosters it-n0thng so unclean but
slavery revcls in it-nothing so mean but slavery
covers it--nothing murdcrous but slavery perpe-
trates it. 1t degradcs man and insults God. 1t
annihatcs right destroys personality, obliterates
moral distinctions, and marks our nation as guilty
and hypocritical beyond comparison. 1t is from
beneath, not from above. 1t is corrupt, and cor
rupts all within its reach. 1t has corrupted the
Church and the State, and unless we speedily give
it up, it will work our national ruin. We are,
even now, as a people, almost destitute of moral
sense or this subject. Three millions Of our
countrymen are stripped of tho Bible by la,c-yet
we profess to regard its circulation among men as
necessary to their salvation. Among 100000 of
our population the marriage institution is abolish
cd. Slavery is one ever active volcano of lust and
impurity, spreading desolotion and death-it is
Sodom and Gomorrah combined. Tell us-how
can virtue exist in our hearts, while we strike
hands with Shareholders in Christian and political
fellowship? What is virtue? Do We believe in
the sacredness of the marriage institution? Why
not sacred, then, to the slave as we'll to you !?
Here, then, is our American slavery. Men whipt
to unpaid work--women lashcd for obstinate virtue
infant children plundered from their parents
and yet we talk about State rigbts' Well, we will

but in the name of virtue and humanity, is it not
time we go against State ,rrongs Especially

A SLAVE LIBERATED ON ENGLISH SOIL

The brig Young America, Captain Rodgers, Of
Baltimore recently arrived at Savanna III Mar,
Jamaica, having on board q slave steward, named
Anderson, who said he belonged to n Mr.. Robin
son. On arriving in port, the Captain, it is said,
knowing that If the slave landed on British soil he
would become free, took great pains to keep him
On board, and to prevent communication with any
one on shore letter, however, says that by
some MEANS the report got wind, and the nhabi-
ants became terribly excited. The magistrates
considered it the duty of the customs officers to
demand the liberation of the slave The con.
sgnee of the vessel, Mr.. Mason, magistrate and
member Of Assembly, is reported to have said
that the people had better look sharp what they
were doing, or they might cause another Greytown
scene. The people took the matter into their own
hands, manned their canoes, and made for the
brigantne. Five stalwart negroes first boarded
her by main force, and sclzng the slave, bore him
off in triumph.
l. The only magistrate who took any active part in
the affair was Mr.. Justice r. f. Thomas, who at
the beach received the liberated man with these
words g Are you free man or Il slaveW " | am
a slave" was the reply. Then" said Mr.. T.,
" in the nome Of her Majesty the Queen, now de-
clare that you are free and at liberty, having
landed on British soil"
When the case was fully investigated, 1t was
shown by Il slaves statement that the captain
never lll-ueated him; that he was a slave; that
his master was living in Baltimore, and that the
papers produced, viz "thc manumission" or free
paper, and protection ticket" were obtained from
a man named Nettes which name he assumed in
order to reach British territory. lie was there
upon declared to be free, and set at liberty.
Tho United States Consul at Kingston has laid
the facts before the Governor of Jamaica and de
manded the punishment of the negroes for forcibly
boarding an American vessel, and abducting one
of her crew.-Aat. Era.

WHAr WILL GREELEY SAY?-we are curious
to see what notice the philosopher will take OF
the following paragraph from the San Francis
CO Bulletin of Nov. 18th, edited by James
King Of VIM:
We were present yesterday, (by invitation
OF his late mastery at a part of the funeral
ceremony over the remains Of Walter Streets,
colored man, who died on the night of the
18th inst, of consumption. The deceased was
born In Culpepper county, Virginia, and was
In his oath year. He came 10 this city last
year, with his former master, (Col. Strode) who
had previously given him his freedom. Our
object In referring to the death of this compar-
atively humble man, is to notice the respect
paid to his remains by several of our citizens.
Such scenes are of every day occurrence in
some of the older Southern States, and the
grief experienced in the household of the
master is often as sincere and poignant as
with the immediate relatives OF tho slave.
The Rev. Bishop Kip performed the ceremo-
MES, and among the audience we noticed Capt.
Harrison, Capt. Ritchie, Mr.. Whelan, Mr..
Jewett, (the artist) and others.
