ATTENTION sTAvE HUNT IN AMERICA !

"Two or three days since n gentleman Of this
parish, in hunting TUnaWdy negroes, came upon a
camp Of them in the swamp on Cat Island. He
succeeded in arresting two of them, but the third
made fight, and upon being shot IN the shoulders,
fed to q sluico, where the dogs succeeded in drown
ing him before assistance could arriye.-&. Fran

A slave hunt in the United Statesl We wonder
how such a thing is regarded by the d~espotism Of
the old world, which we are alluring to liberty by
the beauty of our ~example!" A slave hunt in
June, and the reading of "the Immaculate Declar-
alton" In July. Both events transporting in quick
succession. in the same country and in the same
town and neighborhood. A man hunted by dogs,
and 'shot in the shoulders" in republican Amer
lea, in the nineteenth century! Poor fellow! his
only crime was that he loved liberty, and the dogs
were placed on his track. lie could not crush his
aspirations for freedom, for heaven had implanted
them in his bosom. Believing that resistance to-
tyraIts is obedience to God, /" 'the third made fight"
but the men and the dogs mobile Jiatrum) proved
too much for him. The dogs succeeded in drown
ing him.! {! And tho brutal companion of the
bloodhounds is called a gcntlemau!! u! And the

which must have caused q crimson blush to creep
over the check of hell, is q gentleman also. This
is one of the incidents of the peculiar institution.

FREE NEGROEs--sOUTH AND NORTH.

VIII some one tells us why there should be so
many more free colored persons in the slave than
in the free States? Why DO they not all 20
among their friends in the free Statesf A
Southern man can tell the reason but we
would like to have a real Northern Abolition
list discusss the matter.-&. Louis Christian i'd
Uocate.
The Minnesota Republican replies to this slave
holding "ChriStian" taunt as follows;
"a real Northern Abolitionist" will not find il
difficult to solve so plain a question. A wicked
prejudice against color has made negroes the sub
iects of contempt. persecution and civil disability
in most of tho nOminally free States. This foolish
daring to be just. But hitherto the advantages of
living in a northern State have not been enough to
balance in the colored mans mind the increased
rigor of the climate. Attached by the tendencies
of his nature and by the presence of his race to-
the sunny cline which has given him birth, what
should impel the free negro to leave the South,
where his color is too common to attract attention
and obloquy, and 90 North where chilly blasts
would pierce his sensitive frame, and where every
every other man would twit him of being q mig
ger" and treat him as though it were a crime to
wear the skin Jehovah gave him?
1t is true the "rcal Northern Abolitionist" de-
claims against those Southern laws which forbid
teaching q colored person to read, and which pre-
vent his receiving thorough religious instruction,
&C.; but he is not less prompt to reDuke the tsame
tyranny and spirit of caste in the free States
And the Advocate-if it be indeed be n Christian
Advocate-will doubtless be glad to know that ex-
tensive movements are on foot among northern
Abolitionists" for tho education, elevation and
enfranchisement of this long neglected and down
trodden class.

over the sad and melancholy truth that monibers
of our church can make merchandise of our fellow
men? Yet in spite of our present rule upon that
subject, they retain their membership among us,
being, at any time they demand it, entitled to a
letter certifying that they arc members in good
standing in. our church."
This is in the first column, fourth page of tho
Western Christian Advocate for July III, 1850.
And what says the doctor to all this
"From Tho article of Bro. Pettijohn, on our
fourth page, il will be seen that he declines to give
the names and accusations, to tho proper authori-
ties, of those whom he charges with gross immor-
%alities. 1t is n clear case that requires no circum-
locutlon, that persons are always considered as
innocent tilithoy are proved guilty. So VIC con-
slider it to DO tho case here, and the .spublic will
treat those persons charged by any accusers as
innocent till they are proved guilty. We want no
more such allegations in the Western Christian
Advocate"
That is, "Pcttijohn, such is my determination
to screen the abomination of Slavery as practised
by Mcthodists, and such my preference for negro
traders over Abolitionists, that ] brand YOU as a
liar, until you demonstrate tho opposite. For, al
though negro-sclling Methodists are to DO account
cd innocent until they are proved guilty abolition
Methodist preachers are to be regarded as guilty
until they are proved innoccntl" Sach is the as
pect that affairs now wear, as 1T stands printed in

FREEDOM IN TEXAS.

We have frequently mentioned the able and in
dependant conduct of the German paper the lei
tung, published at San Antonio, in Texas, and es-
pecially its bold and nugmentative opposition to
slavery, as fatal to the progress and growth of
Texas. The following paragraph from the Austin
State Gazette shows tho freedom Of discussion
which there prevails, and the manner in which the
arguments of the Zeitung are met:
"This Free Soil organ has a column and a quar-
ter dedicated to the Gazette. 1t is the first, and
we trust the last time that we shall find this in
~cendiary print upon our table. In Louisiana it
would come within the range of the statutes which
provide for Imprisonment for life, or the infection
Of the penalty Of death, upon any person who shall
publish or distribute such work. lie intimates
that all the Germans in Texas are as bitterly OPP
posed to negro slavery as he is, and he has the i'm
pudence to defy us to strike at the root of the mat
ter'-these are his words-'unless we stop the i'm
migration of Germans 1t certainly becomes the
Germans to disavow this organ. If we could be-
lieve his assertions to be true, te could not aIoto
a German to tread our soil This beautiful and
lovely country, intended by its products of cotton
to be the home of millions Of our Southern sons
and by its position and resources capable of WELD
ing the sceptre of political and commercial power
in the South, is too precious q heritage to be de-
spoiled at this time by Abolitionists, and that in
cendiary hand, too, to come from foreigners to
whom we have rendered the rights of American
citizensl We hope to see the law of Louisiana
re-enacted in Texas and carried into execution

We are delighted to see the government organ
at Washington coming out in favor of freedom Of
speech. The amplost liberty of discussion in al
questions of a political nature, if we can under
stand the Washington Union, in the passage We
give below from its yesterdays sheet, is not only
to be allowed but even encouraged.
FREEDOM OF SrEEcu.-Governor Willard, of Indi
ana, made a noble and eloquent speech to an i'm
mense crowd in the courthouse last evening. w,
never heard a more appropriate address, or on,
better received. We hope his old friends in thil
county will have an opportunity to hear more o
the same sort. Governor Willard spoke in tn,
court house because he himself preferred to, ant
because his friends did not wish to subject hin
tc the annoyance of an organized band of ruffans
who seem to be gotten up to disturb democratic
meeting systematically. 1t is now pretty vel
understood that there il no freedom Of speech il

MR., S. M. BOOTH,

The contest between tho United Statos and Wis
consin, in regard to the efforts made to imnolate
Mr.. S. M. Booth, of the Milwaukee Democrat, on
the altar of slavery, seems scarcely to have COM
mcncod. 1t will be remembered that he was con-
victed of having aided in the rescue Of the negro
Glover, claimed by a Missourian named Garland
as a slave-ahd sentenced TO pay a fine of 81 600,
and undergo imprisonment, but subsequently,
discharged by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin.
Since that time Garland sued him in the u. S.
District Court for tho penalty of a thousand dol
lars awarded him under tho Fugitive Slave Law,
and the case was tried before tho U. S. District
Court a few days ago, being Characterised by
the Same disregard of common sense and law,
on the part of Judge Miller, as marked the criminal
trial in the same court some months ago.
The action was one of dcbt-yot going beyond
the ordinary causes Of challenge, in civil cases, OF
affinity, interest, prejudice, and the expression Of
opinion, the Judge enqulred Of jurors whether
they had any conscientious ~scruples against find
ing a verdict for the PLAINTIFF question we never
heard asked in a civil suit. If the twelve Apostles
had been summoned into the jury box. Judge
Miller's test would reject the eleven honest, fear
less, conscientious men, who dared to obey Cor
rather than human law, and would have left the
Judge in company with the traitor Judas, who sold
his COP for thirty pieces of silver, and made q
chattel Of incarnate Deity,
"The Sovereign, Creator and Saviour of ALL"
vi course a verdict was rendered In favor oil
Garland, and judgment entered for a thousand
dollars, from which there can be no writ of error
taken to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Should the Marshal seize upon Booths press, he
will replevy it, in the State courts-and another
collision will ensue between the national and state
authorities. We shall look anxiously for tho re-
sult-but have confidence in the power and will OF
Wisconsin to protect her own citizens.
j. T.. Willis, Esq, one of Booths counsel, is a
notorious wag, and gave Miller some hard hits for
his ridiculous decisions in the case. Since its
decisions, having observed that every cause tried
before the court during the present session, thus
far, has been decided in favor of the plaintiff, and
having a cause in which he was employed on the
side of the defendant, he got up in court and cool
ly asked The Judge if he had any conscientious sc,u
pies about deciding a cause IN Jdror Of tic defend

This morning, while one of the Chelsea omni
buses was coming over Chelsea bridge, in which
we're seated many of the fair daughters Of Chel-

occurred.
While at this Office in Chelsea, q soap locked bip-
ed stepped into the omnibus and took a seat. He
was a man who had the appearance of being born
on the brown hills of New Hampshire, land yet in
his bearing and look, he very much resemble d a

slaye-driyer.
Well, the omnibus started, and all was quiet un,
til it reached the dollhouse, where Robert Morris,
