A SLAVE HERoiNE-The Trenton, N. j.,
Gazette records the passage through that town
of party of fugitives slaves, under the follow
ing remarkable circumstances Two years ago
a slave woman, advanced in years, the mother
of six children, who had all been sold from her
when old enough to be useful, overheard her mas
ter bargaining for the sale of her grandson, a
boy Is yeaas old, to trader, This being the
last of her family she resolved not to permit it.,
and the same night fled with the boy. They
travelled by night norlhward. guided by the north
star, and, after long wanderings, reached Canada.
There she hired herself out for wages, and
two months ago, with the result Of her own
and her boys labors, returned to the South
where, conceang herself in the weeds, she
revealed her presence only to her friends and
thus collected seven Of her children and grand
children. They started norshward, travelling
only byfnight, and concesling themselves during
the day. Before reaching Philadelphia they
were so worn out with hunger and hardship, as
to be obliged to seek the aid of friends. these
were found and the whole party were then fed
and clothed and forwarded safely to Canada
This woman is nearly sixty years of age, ye.
alone she has done all this.

In New York also the American ticket. it an
pears pretty evident, has prevailed over all 9th
ers.
In Maryland, too, the American ticket is said
to have been elected; while New Jersey has
gone for the Administration.
In Wisconsin the result is not ascertained, but
as far Us known, the vote between Barstow, tho
Administration candidate, and Bashford, tho
Republican candidate. appears to be a close
one.
These results do not appear to make good
what was last year promised from the forma-
ton of party composed of all the eleme nts Of
opposition to the Nebraska Bill. Well, if Flu.
sion is to prove failure, the anti-slavery men
who rallied under the flag of Hale and Julian,
will know where to find their old armor.

through the cities of the Living, turning then
into cities of the Dead that Peace between

The Americans Of New Hampshire Assem-
bled in convention at Nashua on Tuesday the
9th inst. A new board of officers was elected
-ex.Governor Colby succeeding to the Office
of Chief Sachem,in place of Mr.. Dame. The
Manchester American says that about one
hundred delegates we're in attendance; that the
meeting was harmonious, and that the oath
and bans OF secrecy were removed. 1t also
says that in private the delegates most agreed
that the present prohibitory liquor law was a
little too stringent for the liberal spirit of the
age, and that come move must be made to re-
lievc the party of the odum Of having passed
it.
The two following resolutions passed at the
convention show the position of the party up
on the national questions which now agitate
y HAT freedom being national
Sszal, while the latter is left
kcyof all its constitutional rights,
iRNS9 1sS.s where it now exists, its further
connection and longer extension with the gen.
eral government should be uncompromisingl
opposed and resisted, and the laws for the ex-
ecution of its existing privileges be made to
conform to the dictates of justice and human
ity.
Resoivcd, That the question of the extern
sion of slavery, as it is now presented to the
country, by the repeal Of the Missouri
Prohibition,-by the outragcs practised in
Kansas, under the sanction of the admin.
| Iatr al
and tyrannlcal Federal Judge, which, if adop.
ted as the judicial dictrine Of the government
will make every Free State in the Union
slave territory, is the paramount question
now before the nation, and that we believe
that the time has arrived when all who oppose
the further Entertainments Of slavery, and
would restore the policy of the Fathers o.
the Republic, should unite their efforts and
cooperate for that purpose"

sented il as being the garden spot of the
United States. A man was unwise, he said,
TO remain here, when he could there make
SO much more. After remaining in Florida
some four years, he has returned to South
Carolina. The climate did not agree with
them; he and other members of his family,
were constantly subject to chills and fever,
and he wisely determined to sacrifice money
considerations instead Of the health of his
fmily.
The above remarks we have made from
reading an obituary notice in the Edgefield
Adrertiser. Mr.. James G. Butler, formerly
of Edgefeld district; recently died at his res.
idence in Alabama. A few hours before
his death, son was born to him, and on
his being presented to the father, he said,

Gubernatorial Nomination.

A writer in the Charleston STANDARD,
nominates the Hon. l. ID. Witherspoon, for
our next Governor. Col. Witherspoon is
competent to fill any public Office in which
he may be placed.
Ina previous number of our paper, we
nominated another gentleman for that Office
we see no cause now to regret our choice.
Those presses which exhibit SO much as
tonishment and would try to prejudice the
people against our nominee, we hail as an
indication Of the gentleman's worth. Did
Satan ever admire that which was good !
Did ignorance and prejudice ever obtain a
foothold Of friendship with the wise and
the generous! If Major Perry cannot be
elected. we would be rs well pleased 10 see
Col Witherspoon Governor Of the State
as any other gentleman in the State.

President of the College.

The South Carolina College being n
State organization, every man, woman and
child, whose money goes to support it,
whethei he derives any benefit or not, has
the privilege, as a sine qua non, of making
known his preference for the officers to pre-
side over it. A writer in the Carolinian
suggests Judge Wardlaw, as President, in
place of DR.. Thornwell. The following
from the Abbeville Press, expresses our
opinion fully in the matter Professor
leiber is the President of our choice, and
like the Press, we consider it unwise to
create vacancy on the bench, where, in
our opinion, it would be more difficult to
fllit properly than to provide President
for the College:
"Hon. ID. l.. Waidlaw is warmly COM
mended by n writer iu the Carolinian, to
succeed President Thornwell. whose resic-
nation takes effrct mt the close of the pres
ent year, in the South Carolina College. Il
will be remembered that some months since,
Dr. lheber was mentioned in the same con-
nectlon by a correspondent Of ours, and
that we then approved OF the suggestion.
whilst we entertain no sort of doubt for
Judge Wardlaw's fitness for the post, we
still hold to our former p-edilection. Judge
Wardlaw already occupies a position as
highly honorable and serviceable to the
State, as he could be placed in, and ms we
regard Professor Lieber equally competent,
and he having been for several years con.
nected with the Institution, we sec no rea.
son why he may not be promoted. In our
humble opinion, it is safer to promote him
to position for which his experience and
profession must certainly qualify him, than
to render the very important office of Judge
vacant unnecessarily, to DC filled by-no
one knows who. II is better, we think, as
general rul to promote men in the line
OF their respective professions, ard, as init.
mated, we regsrd the position now filled by
Judge Wardlaw, rs second to none in the
State.
We venture these suggestions with per.
feet consciousness that the electing power
will nevertheless decide just as it pieases in
the matter; but it is pcnchdnt generally
exhibited by the press, 10 put its aiingeI
into al the pies,7 and we do not profess ex
emption from common frailties."

Travelling Correspondenoe.


We have the pleasure this week, of lay.
ing before our readers, an interesting letter
from our former Charleston correspondent
Augustus. Our readers will no doubt be
gratified, from perusal of our cores
pondents letter, to see he will favor us with
more detailed account of his travels.
1t is great thing, this travelling-be.
coming better acquainted with human M.
ture' and seeing the world, but poor editors
cannot enjoy the pleasure. This business
confines one at home, and what satisfaction
would it be to find ones pocket empty
when he had but fairly started?
We give communication from our cor
respondent. Mr.. Jennings. We hope TO
hear from Henry again. We invite com.
muncations from all who are disposed to
write.

nave ever seen, can be found in the neigh
borhood of the Warm Springs, near Ashe-
vile, in North Caroiina--Glenn Springs and
Chicks, in this State, are pleasant places.
II one desires to enjoy sea bathing, and
Cape May feats, he can do so at the Moul-
trie House, on Sullivan's Island. Former.
ly'too little attention was paid to the CON-
fort OF guests, and the facilities for travel
iing' were not MS good as now, hence the
reason for persons going North-now, there
can be no complaint on this score. We
have been as well provided for at Glcpn
