Anthony Burns the tugltiye-Save, captured some
time since in Boston and restored to his owner in
Richmond, and afterwards sold to D. Mcdaniel ESQ.,,
Of Nash county, in this State, has been purchased
by some persons North, and has gone to the free
States. Mr.. Mcdaniel gave 5000 for him, and sold
him. believe for about 81, 800. 1t is stated that
the planters out South demonstrated against bringing
such negro among theirs, his trip North and his
sojourn among the abo!itionists had doubt ser;-
ous:y corrupted his morals.
Anthony was received by some fifty persons on
his recent arrival in New York, on which occasion
he made speech, telling some marvellous stories
about his atflictions and assuming very pIous tone
tho cunning rascal claiming that religion had been
prominent trait in his character since infancy. lie
to have public reception at fremont Temple,
Boston, and expected afterwards to visit
New York City again. He Will have good time of
it so long as the vile hypocritcs who have him in
charge can use him so to excite the public mind
and thus add to their own importance; but the day
will come when his teeth will S!lattcr with cold and
when, goadcd 10y want and hunger, he viii wish
himself again some plantation il the Southern
States.
ThSacgro, Burns, was insured in December last,
in the North Carolina Insurance Company Of this
City, by his MASTER sir. Mcdaniel fer $500. Antlio-
ny is described in the insurance papers of ''mc-
dunn height and bacon color'-and Dr. Battle certi-
fies that his chances for long life Favorable.
To the question, has the party been, is he
ploycd in scattering life" the answer is, che had
been voyage from Richmond to Boston, re2u-
ar'y boxed up, right side up with care" 1t is also
stated, rather admitted, that he slightly
bruised by mob in Boston and By close packing"
But Anthony's morals have been injured by
tact with his white brethren in Boston. Once
faithful and industrious field hand, he has now the
habits of loafing gentleman among the 'fust sur
kles' of Boston abolitionism. Once he made
and cotton, and made himself useful generally; now
he is fit only TO nuke fuss among hypocrites and
enemies to public peace and public order.
- The Sta: appears to be quite confident of
future know-Noth:ng t,iumphs, and the
Standard of political disasters to come. That paper
predicts the defeat of Mr. Wise in Virginia. Mistaken
again. Mr.. Wise will gain votes than he will
lose by his course towards the new alien ard Sc
dtion law" party; ard his election we regard as
fixed fact. Relying on the noble Democracy tf old
Virginia, and upon those Independent Wings who
acW not humble themselves to this new organza-
ton, he will crash right through into the sunlight
Of triumph " in spite of lamentations here else
where" We can assure the Star that we entertain
serious aPprehe nsions to the future condition
of parties. The Democracy will carry this State in
August, and the United States in 1856. The con-
test for the Presidency may be complicated
than in 1852, and the election noy go to the House,
but have strong hope that the people them
selves VIII elect If the election should devolve on
the House. the danger is that some higher law abo-
Etionist like Mr.. hnow-Nothing Wilson, will be
chosen.
