Arn Abolition Orator.

One of the self-consttutpd delegates TO the
Black Republican, Convention, which nomina-
ted Col. FREMONT, was DR.. JOSEPH Z. SNon-
GRASS. He is also leading Black Republican
orator. He has spoken for Fremont already at
humber of places, and we understand that be
may shortly be expected in Pennsy lvania. He
is particularly famous for his attacks on slavery,
and terribly yindictlve against the Democratic
party, because it is willing TO allow the people
of the Territories the right enjoyed by the ciii-
zens in all the States, of regulating the eharao-
ter of their domestic institutions for themselves.
No doubt he descants with all the eloquence Of
a SUMNER, the venom of GlpDNGs, or pleads
with all the pathos OF Mrs. STowE, for the
slave, and wakes fierce and indignant as
GREELEY, at the bare mention of ''slave-hol-
ders," "sIavery aggression and at the idea
oi ''tratiic in human flesh and blood, etc, etc.
We wish, however, TO call attention to a
circumstance which will serve as an admirable
prelude to this virtuous gentleman'S oratorical
performances, and which will be published
wherever he undertakes to mislpad the public
on this question. We aAude to the fact that
he was formerly Shareholder himself, and
that instead of manumting bis slaves, he sold
them and puf The money IN has pocket ere he
undertook the business OF preaching Black Re-
publicanism.
In reply to the request of a gentleman in
Washington, the following letter, with an ac-
companyiug bill Of sale, by which DR.. SxoD-
GRASS conveyed two negroes TO Mr.. BURSnART,
was furnished, and the correspondence placed at
our disposal

NEW RULE OF EvipENCE.-A bill is before the
New York Legislature, which, following the re.
cent practice of the English Courts proposes i'm.
portant changes in the law of evidence. 1t pro-
vdes that parties to civil actions, aud persons for
whose immediate benefit they are prosecuted or
defended, may ba witnesses therein their own
behalf or otherwise. in the same manner as if they
were not such parties or persons. Bot before n
party can offer himself as II witness under this
section, on his own behalf ag iinst an adverse
party, he must give notice of his intention TO do
at least ten days before the time of examina-
tion. When all the parties to the action shall he
present in Court at the time of trial, either may
be examined rs a witness on his own behalf. al
though the notice required in the preceding sec
ton shall not be given. In no case, however,
shall party examined as witness on his own
behalf he admitted to testify in relation to facts,
which, if true, must be equally within the knowl,
edge of the opposite party, if such opposite par
ty be an inhnptant of foreign state or country,
and is not at the time within the jurisdiction of
the Court in which the action is pending. The
same rule is also applied when the action is pros
ecuted defended by the representatives of a
deceased party.
