THE

The old Free Soil motto, "Fleedom National-
Stdre1y Sectional," is being superseded by another;
N Sdre,y outside Of Stare States" 1t is hard
to tell, but, yet we think this last an improvement.
True it has the same old Limitation, which for the
sake of union gives assent to the legal and consti-
%tutional existence of slavery in the States, where
it now is. 1t indirectly recognises as constitution
ally right, that which is morally wrong. But yet
it is a posHice, though limited declaration of abo-
litionism, and if it means all it says, and the
north will reduce it thoroughly and fully to prac-
tice, if it does not sink slavery at once it will
throw her on her beam-end's and prepare her to
go down in a hurry when the next shot is fred
But do our friends mean it dN?-no slareJy out of
the slave State. Absolutely none No slave
hunts-no slave seizures no slave trials, not even
by juries-1s the fugitive to dwell with us as he
does in Canada-fearlessly, because protected by
law ? Is he thus to dwell in the Territories,-in
the District of Columbia-on all national Terrific
ry? He must, else there will be slavery out Of
the slave States, and the motto our friends have
adopted will not be practically excmplifed.
But we are afraid our friends do not mean all
this. We could not help fearing it last Saturday
in New Lisbon, when they were found minus the
pluck, to ask the Columbus Convention to put into
her State platform a condemnation of the fugitive
slave law. 1t is a long ways from such meekness
to no slarry'-even in Ohio.

DELIVERED OUT OF THE HANDS OF THE
SP0ILER,

A person, named Marshall, came to this CITY
from Kentucky, last year, with his family and
brought with him, as a servant, a girl about Ii
years old, who was a slave in Kentucky. The girl
was treated, as she claimed, very harshly, and Sc,
yerely logged, though Mr.. Marshal says it was for
lmpertinence to his wife. During the absence Of
Mr.. Marshall and his wife--we believe on n visit
to kentucky-sOme three weeks ago. the girl left.
and, by advice of friends, took refuge with George
IL. Clark, proprietor of the Pioneer Shaving Saloon,
who assured her she was in q free State, had a
right 10 go where she pleased, and that he would
protect her from being taken away and sent into
slavery by her master. But Mr.. Marshall return
ed, found his servant gone, and went to Clark's
house, in his absence, and, with threatening Ian
guage, well spiced with oaths, commanded the girl
home, and she trembling obeyed.
litter her return, they were excessively kind to
her, made her sundIy presents and offered to take
her back to see her mother. But these promises
did not avail. The girl preferred freedom in the
North to nice presents and the chance of slavery
in Kentucky. So she left her kind master and
mistress, and we are authorized to say, by the
superintendent Of the Underground Railroad that
at the time Mr.. Marshal was clustering about the
girl in Mr.. Clark's barber-shop, she was in Detroit,
ready to cross the river into Canada.
Mr.. Marshall, finding the girl had left after look
ing in vain on her where she was not, took that
meanest of all slave-catching servants, Deputy
Cotton, and proceeded to Mr.. Clark's barber-shop,
-, ~ N"S e"h wv ueiudhuou 10 KNOW II the
girl was at his house, and swore he would have
her at all events. Mr.. Clark assured him that he
was not in n slave State, out of the Free State of
Wisconsin, that the girl was as free as he was. and
that if he knew where the girl was he would not
tell him. Mr.. Marshall said he was responsible
for her maintenance, and he wanted her. so that
she need not be a public charge. Mr.. Clark told
him that he would give good bail that ho would
never be called on for her support. Mr.. Marshall
clustered considerably, and among other things.
said if he had the girl in kentucky, he would sell
her--which we do not doubt in the least.
Mr.. Cotton took pains to let Mr.. Clark know
that ne was not present in bis official capacity-he
was there simply as volunteer blood hound, to HELM
the sortherner scent his prey and render such

CONVENTION AT FLUSHING

A Convention was held in Flushing, Belmont
county on the tenth inst, by the colored people of
Harrison, Jefferson and Belmont counties, At
this convention a society was organized "for tho
purpose of o%fecting a more perfect union among
the colored people of the above named counties,
and to improve their character, develop their in
tellect and maintain their rights" 1t is styled
"The Ohio Progressive Liberty Association" Its
Officers are, President, j. p. Underwood, Vice
Presidents, Abram Thornton, II. N. Rankin; Sec
retaries, j. L. Rivers, d.. S. Bruce; Treasurer, Geo.
Rivers Councilmen j. f.. Monk, VIM. Monk,
James Manly, Robert POLAND, Jesse Hargroye, A.
NJ. Singer, Elisha Muse, Jacob Rivers.
The society resolved to meet at st. Claresyille on
the first Saturday of October next. The Conyen.
ton also resolved to celebrate the anniversary Of
West India emancipation ION the first Of Angus.
next at Barnesville.
The following resolutions were also adopted:
L. Resolved, That we look upon American Sla.
very as one of the greatest evils among the Amer
lean people, both morally and politically, and that
we will use every exertion against its extension or
continuance amongst us.
2. Resolved, That the convention en- tiers its ev-
erlasting protest.against the American Colonization
Society. That whenever it makes its appearance up
on the American Continent it exists by arousing
the bitterest passions of the various pc rtions Of
community against us as a people. And we look
upon each of its members as standing in hostile
attitude against us. Therefore we must always
be prepared to meet them in Church or State as
combuttants.
This resolution was passed dy reclamation.
3. Resolved, That we hail with pride and graft.
tude the humiliation of the two great political
parties OF this Confederacy, we catch the sound of
their death knells, as indication of moral freedom
and the brotherhood of man.
a. Resolved, That it is the various Churches of
America that forge the chains of the slave and fos-
ter the dsmning prejudice against the color of the
face.
II. N, Rankin moved it be adopted. He said
he hoped that it would be adopted unanimously
j. E. Monks spoke against the resolution. II. N.
Rankin, lessee Hargrave, D.. S. Bruce, James E..
Manly, j. P. Underwood for the adoption OF the
resolution, James Z. Monks, Abraham Thornton
and others against it.
5. Resolved, That the oppressed of all climes
should sympathize with each other, and as the wo-
men of this country are placed on an equality with
colored men, politically; we admire their courage
and womanly dignity in seeking to throw off their
chains.

OUR DEMOCRACY.

Debow IN his compendium of tho United States
Census estimates the entire population at the end
OF the year 1904 at twenty-six and n half millions
Calculating from the data there afforded we esti-
mate the COlOred Free and slave population ut the
same data atfour millions and the foreign born
inhabitants ut three millions; Of all these about
one half are females, and very yearly one
half of the whole number, and of the numbers OF
each class respectively, are under the age Of twen-
ty-one years. The free colored population we put
at half a million. The satio Of the colored to the
total free population is therefore about Is per cent.
that of the foreigners about IL per cent. By this
estimate it appears that the existing laws founded
upon birthplace, together would effect the exclu-
sion OF twenty-seven per cent, of the whole people
from representation in the government, and from
all the political rights of citizenship amounting
in numbers to seven millions of people, politically
disfranchised.
OF the remaining nineteen and a half millions
technically called citizens, pine and three quarter
millions are excluded by their sex from the ballot.
box, the jury box, and from all posts and places in
the civil administration. Sixteen and three quar-
tors millions of tho inhabitants of the freest gov
eminent on earth deprived of the right of ~sclfgov.
crnmentt is the statement of the whole account Us
it is proposed to be settled between the professions
and the practice of this great people.
The political census would then stand thus. Free
people, nine and three fourth millions. Slaves,
sixteen and three fourth millions. Thus stands
our republican balance sheet with the world that
has trusted and credited us so largely and we
propose now to pay about thirty-cight cents on the
dollar, and independently ask an indefinite extern.
sion of our credit on these terms hereafter! If
our political account were laid before the great
Chancellor, Conscience, would we not be pro-
nounced iraudulently insolvent, and be ordered to
go into bankruptcy forwith ?-Lnd.

ment attracted the attention Of the crowd ho de-
%nounced the sale Of q white man by n negro as an
outrage and disgrace to the community, gesticula-
ting violently and using a drunken mans oaths.
The crowd soon surrounded him, listening to him
and the remarks Of the first speaker who protested
against tho sale, nno Sho chimed in with the
drunken speaker. One Of the leaders Of the lych.
ing party, a rcd faced man by the name of John
son, came forward and defended the sale, declaring
tnat a man in becoming an abolitiouist dcgrades
himself beneath n negro. Words grew very high,
and ono or two Of the conductors of the ceremonies.

New MovEMENT.-The Port Gibson Miss
RereiWe says:
The subject now being agitated by the people
OF North Carolina, and soon ia be carried before
the Legislature of that State, is one which. VIC
think, TO say the least of it, will create a sensa-
ton. 1t is; LIST, To render legal the institution of
marriage among the slaves; ID, to preserve sacred
the relations between parents and their Young
children; and Sd, to repeal the laws prohibiting
the education of slaves. If this modification in
the laws is made in North Carolina, as we are in.
formed it probable will, other States will no doubt
take the matter into consideration. The main fen.
lures OF the movement have been adopted in prac.
tice, or at least improved in theory, by nearly all
our planters, as far as circumstances would allow.
and we cannot but think the notification is well
worth the serious cor sideration Of every southern
man. Should the southern people think proper,
after due investigation, to adopt the regulation in
each OF the slave States, slavery will then be re-
garded in an entire new light, and the enemies of
the institution will be robbed Of their most frnit.
tul and plausible excuses for agitation and com
plant. There may lie however evils to contend
with and objections to be answered in the adontion
OF such a modification. We therefore leave the
subject open for future consideration, and, in the
meantime, invite a free examination of the subject
by our readers.

ances. Large meetings have been held in New
York and Baltimore. The PENNSYLVANIA State
Counsel has decided for the Philadelphia majority
against the protest of Governor johnson and his
associate delegates. The result of the Philadel-
phia meeting marked an era in national Conven-
tions. In none before that we can recall either
political or ecclesiastical, has the North ever re-
fused submission to the EXTREMIST and most humil-
iating demands of the South. And this refusal
has been made after threats of disunion and the
vigorous appliance of all the ordinary means Of
Union saving. The fact is most important and en-
couraging; for besides effectually Frustrating
know-Nothing expectations of nationality, it will
give courage.to the responding, Inundated north

result in the destruction of Slavery on the disso-
luton of all political union with the tyrants who
have so long lorded it over the States of the north
as well as the plantations of the south.

BACKED OUT,

In the recent debate in the Connecticut Legisla
ture on granting the right of suffrage to colored
men. Mr.. Joseph Maddox, particularly distin.
guished himself by his virulent ISLANDERS Of that
class Of citizens. Whereupon Rev. Amos G.. Be.
man, a talented clergyman of the disfranchised
class, challenged the Honorable Representative to
a discussion of the question in the following
letter:
To the Honorable Joseph MADDOX: DEAR SIR =
Belonging to that class of persons who have been
Tor some time striving to secure the amendment of
our State Constitution, by which the word "white'
shall be stricken from the necessary qualifications
OF a voter, and having watched with great interest
the development and manifestation of public SEN
timent in relation to it, | was much surprised on
reading the remarks which you, Sir, are reported
to have made on the amendments in the House of
Representatives on the 3lst of May, 1855; and
being anxious that "the whole truth, and nothing
but the TRUTH" should be established in relation to
our rights, | do, now, and by this notice, desire to
call your attention to this subject, and hereby chal-
lenge you to a public discussion upon the merits of
the subject matter at issue, in the city of Hartford,
at such a time and place, during the present ses-
sion OF the Assembly, as shall be agreed upon by
three such gentlemen as may be chosen in the fol-
lowing manner-you may select one from either
House of Assembly, Twill select oae,a and the two shall
select the third, and the discussion shall be under
such rules and regulations as the three umpires
may decide upon.

for the use of the Hall, &c.
Yours truly, AMOS G. BEMAN.
Men HAVEN, june 5th, 1855.
After the appearance of this challsge " In
the House, Mr.. Veazey introduced a resolution
granting the use of the Hall to the Hon. Mr.. Mad
dox and Reverend Mr.. Beman, for the proposed
discussion upon the qualifications of the colored
man to the rights Of citizenship, and ommend

thoughsit hardly necessary to put the question.
The question was then taken and the resolution
passed unanimously, amid the uproarious merri-
ment Of the members"
Notwithstanding this courtesy the Honorable Mr.,
Maddox did not appear, whereupon MI. Bemap
very properly proceeded to discuss the question
without him. We have no doubt, the Honorable
Joseph's retreat was the dictate of prudr nee.
