Grafton received.
Without referring TO the immense profit
which these same men have received for trans
porting the products of save-labor, from the
manufacturing these products, from the sup
plies furnished to the slaves and their masters,
we will simply say
That with this record before it the North sits
in judgment on the South and announces the
verdict:
1t discards the old adage that "the receiver
is AS bad as the thief" and its verdict stands
That the receiver is alone the guilty one''
The thief is not only guitless in their esti-
nation, but he is the very proper person to &C,
cuse, prosecute, testify against judge, condemn
and execute the receiver; the very thief who
assured the receiver that his title to the slave
was perfect aud absolute and who bad given a
guarantee Of title to the receiver against every
such claimant.
The Judge is the Northern thief, with the
consideration and guarantee money in his
pocket, setting in Judgment on the Southern
receiver, who holds the judges own bill Of sale
| receipts and guarantee Of title in his hands
Yet the honest thief judge, chinking his guilt
money, in his pocket, condemns his Southern
| receiver.
This is plain unvarnished truthful state
meut in which scarce half the enormity o.
Northern guilt is shown, and but portion o
| the monstrous injustice TO the South appears
We will exhibit this in separate article.

The enquiry is greater now. Let him answer

sasact giving to that State the right of ad-
mission into the Union with or without slavery,

to say, as the Wings Of the South may be Ie-
preached by posterity with having given away,
for partisan prejudice, the most sacred rights
Of the South.

ton to its being the very best and most beauti-
full shade tree, is of great Importance as de.

amounting to thousands upon thousands, the

Sailing HAY.-This practice, we have rea-
son to think, is greatly overdone. Two quarts
Of fine salt to each ton Of hay, scattered through
it is sufficient. II is wasteful thing to get
hay in half made, and then attempt to save it
with salt. Two much salt is as injurious TO
cattle as for them to go without any.

IT WAS ONLY "CALLIoPE.- The
city was moi little started on Saturday
night, by hearing species of music that
defied all speculation. Some thought
there was q new fashioned hand -organ
round the corner; others thought there
was singularly strong bugle or clarionet
in the distance, and a few Of the supersti.
tious hearing the sounds, and not being
able to locate them in any particular spot,
fancied that the ghost Of all the dead
hand-organs had come to sing the doom Of
the city. Of course no one rested till the
mystery was explained. What in the
name Of Lucifsr," asked one of the dunn
founded of one Of the knowing, "do You
call that % "That why, it's a Calliope!''
"Oh. Calliope I don't know what that
is; but if the cussed noise has name, /
s'pose it's all right!'' The Calliope, good
reader. is recently invented steam must.
cal machine, intended for steamboats,, and
It was the steamer Amazon, that, on Sat.
urday evening. on her arrival from St.
Louis, piped the first tune that New Or.
leans ever heard from the "Calliope."

Public Meeting in St. Marys.

A meeting Of the citizens Of ST. Mary
took place at the Court House in Frank
lin, on Monday, the 10th inst. the object
Of which was 10 organize a police for the
parish, and make such other arrangements
as was deemed necessary under the ext
gencies of the times. After the appoint
ment Of officers. committee was named
by the President to draw up series of
resolutions expressive Of the sense of the
meeting. Resolutions Of very stringent
nature were passed in regard to the police
regulations Of slaves. A Central Execu-
tive Committee was organized with power
to examine and inflict summary judgment
on offending slaves or such whites as
may be found tampering with them. par
ticularly for furnishing them with liquor.
This is right. Ninety out Of hundred
offenders against this statute evade pun
ishment by some legal technically or in
formality, when arraigned before court
of justice, although their guilt is palpable
to all. The resolutions requested the
merchants to close their stores on Sun
days, and planters to give their negroes
some other day for trading.

Death Of Judge Larue.

We copy the following melancholy in
formation from the Picaype of Tuesday
last:
Judge John C. Larue, of this city, died
suddenly at his residence on Magazine
street yesterday at about 2 P. NJ. He had
been in feeble health at intervals for years,
but was recently much better than usual.
Up to within few minutes of his death
he was comparatively we'll and in good
spirits. Sitting at home with his family
he was taken suddenly i'll. and expired
almost Immediately. In the brief interval
Of consciousness he was sensible of his
condition, and died calmly and courageous
ly. The jury, which it was thought me-
cessary to empannel, returned verdict in
accordance with the opinions of the sur
geons who examined the body, that he
died from congestion of the lungs.
The manner of his death was awfully
sudden. His wife had been indisposed,
and he remained home to keep her COM
pany. He lay on low sofa, quite well
and unco'nmonly cheerful. She reclined
along the floor, leaning on his shoulder,
his arm about her-the child on the sofa,
playing with its father. Suddenly the
little girl asked, abruptly. Papa, what
makes your eyes roll so p and with con-
vulsive stretch he said to his wife, my
darling, | am DYING Not unused to
spasms of illness, she answered, Don't,
dear-don't frighten me So 81 tell
you," replied be, with emphasis, " l am
dying" She started 10 get restoratives !;
he said, " No, no." She rushed to the
window, calling for servants, "a doctor !!
a doctor!' and turning saw his face dis
torted and his hands clenched. His only
words were, "No, no ]; let me die in
peace!" when his face recovered smil-
ing expression, his limbs relaxed, and he
preached but two or three times again.
The shrieks of his wife and child alarmed
the house and the neighborhood but all
efforts at resuscitation failed. From full
ness Of life to torpid death the interval
was scarcely five minutes. 4- a.

FIRE IN TH1BopAUx.-N really seems
- though our sister town is doomed to be
entirely destroyed BY the devouring ele-
ment. On Tuesday evening last, shortly
after dark, the cooper shop Of Mr.. Thos.
Mcguire was discovered to be on fire,
and was soon reduced to ashes. The
residence Of ]. r. Van LEV, Esq, as
well is some other smaller buildings were
also consumed.
