In 1892, twenty.three years ago, three
years before aboliiIonism became rampant ,
John Randolph introduced into the Virginia
house OF Delegates proposition for the
abolition of slavery and il was discussed
with great freedom. Slavery, was ken
of in terms OF severe condemnation, and the
debates we've published aud read by every
colored man who could read, and to those
who could not they were read by others
At that time irginia was net unwilling or
afraid to discuss this question and was grad
ually feeling her way to emancipation. Blu,
when the aboitionists in their fanatical zeal
began to send their incendiary publications
into the slave states, cndeavoring to incile a,
servile i,.surrection, they aroused at once
a strong and bitter feeling at the south.
Taunts and threats, disunion and treason
to law and appeal to arms followed, until
the whole Union became a seethng caul-
dron of abolition excitement. The result
was that tho bonds of the slaves were more
firmly bound Than ever, and their rivcts
more securely fastened.
Public opipion, which began to be cxhib-
tied in Virginia against slavery, was stiiied
at once. In providing for their safety her
citizens interdicted the discussion of her in
stitutions. Who doubts that if abolitonism
had never interfered with the domestic in
stlutions of the south Virginia would have
been free state !--and other states would
have followed her example. The impulse
which such step would have given to ey-
cry branch of her business--to the general
prosperity Of the state, could not have been
without its influence on others. But TO
this good work abolitionism must lend it's
blighting services, and the tide that was set
Ting in universal freedom was checked
Everything they have done has been not to
enlarge but to restran--not to set free but
to bind in closer bonds the slave population

The SEA-GlRT HOUSE, Neppori, X. /
The above spacious and elegant Hotel,
recently erected in this city, under tho
dirertion Of Thomas Downing Of New York,
(who has exhibited much judgment in plan.
n'ng tho same,) was opened by his son,
George L. Downing, TO the inspection of the
public, on Thursday evening last, at which
time large number of Ladies and Gentle
men spent several hours in inspecting its
beautiful apartments, and testing the quail
ties Of the Creams and Ices, for which the
Proprietor has won worldwide reputa-
ton. The house is delightfully."- situated on
the Hill, and directly opposite the new
"Touro Park" and in the immediate yicin-
iiy of the large and fashionable Hotels. The
view from the roof is one Of the finest and
most extensive in Newpor; the entire bay
and adjacent islands and rivers being spread
cut in one grand Panorama. It's exterior il
highly ornamenled, and presents an exceed
ingly iastiul appearance. Indeed, 10 cx-

BRITIsH VESSEL DETAINED AT THE VINE
YARD Men supposed 10 have been kidnap.
ped for The Crimea!! We learn that the
British hermaphrodite brig Buffalo, of Matt
land, Nova Scotia, Stewart, master, was
boarded at Tarpauln Cove, yesterday,
where she pu, in for harbor, by the U. s.
Cutter James Campbell, Capt. Clark, and
from certain suspicious circumstances, was
detained and taken to Holmes Hole, where
she now remains. Itappears that the Buff
alo cleared at New York OH the 10Th inst
for Merimichi, N. s., and sailed on the same
evening. Her papers were properly endors-
ed by the British Consul, but abont twenty
men were on board as steerage passengers,
who stated that they embarked in the night.
at New York, and that they had every rea-
son TO believe from intimations they had re-
ceived, that they were to be placed on board
British cruiser Immediately on the arriva'
of the brig at her port Of destination and
semitic the Crimea for service in the army.
They were hired in New York, to work on
railroad in Nova Scotia, and with this in
tenlion took passage in the brig. They
claimed the protection of the U. s. Govern
mant, which was of course promptly grant
ed them. No evidence of their being on
boari appeared in the briggs papers, although
as we learn, the papers were entirely cor
rect 30 far as the cabin passengers were
concerned. The suspicious of the men
were first excited, that they were to do ser
vice for John Bull IN fighting the Russians
instead of engaging in the more peaceful
pursuit Of railroad building, by certain i'll
formation received from servant of cab
in passenger, who is believed to be an oili-
Ger in the British army. There were also
other suspicious circumstances going to
show some little foundation for the belief of
the men as to their final destination.
The whole affair is lodged in the hands OF
G.. S. Norton, Esq, Collector of Edgartown
who will give il all proper attention. If "a
satisfactory explanation shall be given By
the officers Of the brig, she will no Joub, be
permitted to depart. Otherwise she will be
detained and legally dealt with.-N. Bed

A very absurd duel recently took place
between General Concha, brother OF the
captain general OF Cuba, and the marquis
OF Albaida, in consequence Of discussion
in one of the rooms set apart in the cortes
for deputies. They fought with sabres
(ong, straight, heavy weapons) and at the
very outset Of tho combat General Concha
perceived that his antagonist was utterly
ignorant Of fence. Thereupon he refused
to continue, ,.and insisted on pistols. The
seconds, desirous TO prevent bloodshed, put
in unlimited powder, the consequence Of
which was that Concha was wounded in
