sLAVERY Us, FREEDOM,

The following paragraph ftly illuairalaa The feel
ings and opinions of the friends of slavef3 in re-
gard to poor men and foreigners The Noorehouse
(La.) Adrocdte says: ''"'
"The great mass of foreigners who come, to our
shores are pborers, and consequently come in com
petition with slaya labor: X is to their interest
to abolish slavery and &e Know full well the dis
position Of man to promote all things which ad-
vance his own interests. These men come from
nations whero Slavery is not allowed, and they
drink in Abolition Sentiments from their mothers
Breasts they (all the white race) entertain an ut
ter Adherence Of being put on level With blacks
whether in the field or Yo|k Shop. Could slavery
be abolished, th6r? would be q. greater demand for
aborcrs, and pricGs Of labor must be greatly en-
HANGED. They may be termed the Rternar eyi-
dcnces of the AboIitionism of Eoreigpera, "' '--
"But we may find noar t9md facts 70 corroborntc
these internal evidences tt'iq well known there
esists great ahtpathy among dr0ymen and rirer-
men of New Orleans (who are almost to man
oreigners) to the participation of slaves in these
branches Of industry" =" h'.

OHIO AND GEORGIA,

Some one has called our attention to the fact
that writer in the Washington Sentinel compares
Georgia with Ohio, and among other things asserts
that the former contains greater length of rail;
roads than the latter. Not having seen the paper
containing the article referred to, we are unable
to say how fer the representation of our inform
ant is cdrfbct but we are 10th to believe that intel
ligent editors would admit into their columns a
statement so manifestly absurd There can be no
harm, however in giving the real state of the case
and VIC respectfully asi the attention of the edi-
tors Of the SenAnel to Tie matter in order that
they may disabuse the minds of their readers
The Compendium cf the Census lately publish
cd by the Superintendent Mr.. De Bow, contains Z.
statement of the number of railroads in operation
in sevefal States the number in course of construc
ton, and their cost in 1851. According to this
statement, the case stands thus Ohio had COM
pleted 2,3G7 miles of railroad Georgia. 1884 miles
Ohio had in course of construction, 1878 miles ;
Georgia. 445 miles 1he miles of road in opera
ton in Ohio are therefore nearly three times great
er than in Georgia; while the miles of road in
course Of construction are more than three fold
in favor of the = ee State. Besides the railroads,
Ohio has 02f miles Of Canals, against % miles in,
Geo, gia.
The aggregate cost of railroads in Ohio is
s44, 027o5S against Sl0,0S4.SI2, cf nearly three
fold.
These facts can be found at page 189 of the Com,
pendium to the Census, which was compiled under
the superntendance of an ultra advocate of
Slavery. What, then, must be thought of the
intelligence or the integrity Of scribblers who
attempt to palm OF upon tho public o. state
ment absurdly false as tfat Georgia Is ahead Of
Ohio in railroads ?-Nat. Era. G.

From Dcnion's " Thirty Years in the Senate"
WHAT THE SOUTH WAS WHEN
PRIzED FREEDOM MORE THAN
SLAVERY.


i is o tradition of the Colonies that the South
bad been tho seat Of wealth and happineIs, of
power and opulence, that n rich population COW
cred the land dispensing a baronial hospitality
and diifusing the felicity which they themselves
enjoyed, that all was life and joy and opulenee
then. And this tradition was not without simil-
itude to the reality, this writer testify for
he was old enough to have seen (after The Reyoln.
hon) the still surviving state of Southern Colonial
matters when no traveller was allowed to go to a
tavern, but was handed over from family to family
through entire States when holidays were days
of festivity and expectation long prepared for,
and celebrated by master and slave, with mnsit
and leasting, and great concourse of friends and
relatives; when the gold was kept in desks or
chests latter the downfall of paper) and weighed
in scales and lent to neighbors for short terms
without note interest witness or security, and on
bond and land security for long years and lawful
usance and when petty litigation was at So low
an ebb that it required fine Of forty pounds Of
tobacco to make man serve constable
Tho reverse of all this was now seen and felt,
not to the whois extent which fancy or policy
painted, but to extent enough to constitute a re
verse, and to make o contract and to excite the
regrets which the memory of past joys never fails
to awaken. Superior advantages for navigation
in the North, greater aptitude of its people for
commerce, established course of business, accumu-
lated capital, and defect of seamen in the South,
for marines cannot be made of slaves all com
bine to retain the foreign trade in the channel
which had absorbed il, and TO increase 1t there

country and tho still faster increasing extravar
anee and profusion Of the Government And

MORE POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY" +"

Last week, q couple of families from Wisconsin
quietly camped in our village, and proceeded to
look up locations; when it was discovered that
they had with them darkey. The fact that they
were northern men appeared to be prina .facia
evidence that there was something wrong. The
Propaganda have reversed the rules of law, and,
instead of a man being presumed to be free until
he is proved q slave they regard his dark skin as
prima facia evidence that he is a slave. The Wis
consin emigrants had provided themselves for all
emergencies, and had secured free pass proper
y attested by Missouri authorities, and Youched
for by the Great seal of that vaorous State.-4This
they readily showed when asked for in q proper
manner; but soon threats were made that the ne
gro should not remain here anyhow, and several
men were seen prowling around their camps at
night, an1 numerous threats were uttered. lIav-
ing secured farm, the persons having the negro
in their employ, removed to it. On Sunday,a mes
sengcr came to town to inform tho people that
about n dozen men were at the house. threatning
to take the negro, when considerable company
repaired to the spot, and found Free State Mis-
souiian, who was also connected in lp2iqess With
the Wisconsin men, laying down tli6 law" in a
manner that was easily understood. He was Civ
ing them the important information that he "was
fighting man himself, and that they might pitch in
any moment they saw proper" This was the true
position, and the only one that can be appreciated
in this region. Men must attend to thdf own
rights if they desire them respected. The negro
soon dispersed without any difficulty, and the boy
returned dnmolested. 60 '
But what q difference is here manifested between
the treatment which northern and southern men
receive here. Hundreds of Misspurians have pass
ed through this place with negroes without being
molested. We have never heard of single ques
ton being asked. But no sooner had northern
man arrived here with hired negro than he is
waited upon by selfcsnstituted committees, and
free papers demanded. Why must n northern man
be thus suspected and annoyed2
There is nothing ike frmness in asserting oul
rights. Men must understand that we dre ready
to assert them at all hazards, and they will only
respect us the more for such independence. If q
man desires to avail himself of the service of q
free negro, he has right TO do so and that right
shall be maintained despite of all opposition. The
Slavery Propaganda must understand that they
can't hang dog without resistance in Kansas. The
peoples rights must 5e maintained, and those who
attempt to subvort them must be responsblei thu

THF EFFECT or SLAVERY.

Our laws scarcely recognize a crime against mar
murder and violence akin to it, that is not le
gal under slave laws. There is not Il sensual vice
which we are taught to abhor, which slavery doth
not monstrously cngender. There is not sin
which religion condemns, that is not garnercd aud
sown, reapcd and sown again, by American sla-
very. Among ireemcn the road of honor lies
array from animal passion, from sensation toward
conscience; hope, love, and spiritual faith But

life from such motives as are common to him with
the OK, the ass, and the dog The slaves pleasure
are our appcties. His motives are, almost Of rs
cessity, those from which religion most earnestly
dehorts us. 10 our children labor is honorable,
because it is Gods ordination Of mercy because it
is the road alike to health and temperate pleasure

By labor the north has subdued nature, changed
