FREMONT IN NORTH CAROLINA,

The following extracts, taken from a letter writ
ten by a citizen of North Carolina, we have no
doubt fairly represents the feelings of at least the
intelligent non-slaveholders Of that State - Gin.
Gozette.
If any one doubts that a large part Of our peo-
pie are opposed to the extension OF Slavery, let
him only notice what direction the tide of emigra-
ton has taken from North Carolina. All things
being equal, emigrants will not seek a colder lati-
tude than that which they leave. Yet thousands
of our honest yeomanry and most enterprising CIT
liens have sought homes in the free States OF the
North West. In fact, | have often Heard them de-
clare that the only reason which made them pre-
fer Indiana, Illinois, or Iowa, to Tennessee, Ar
kansas, or Missouri, was, that the former were tree
States, whilst the latter were not. As far as l
have heard from friends and acquaintance who
have left us and gone to the North West, they are
all for Fremont. And it is reasonable that it should
be so. For even among intelligent Shareholders,
who will not defend Slavery in the abstract. 1t is
only justified on the ground that, in the present
condition of the slave, he is not a proper subject
for the enjoyment of liberty. / have never heard
Slavery justified from the pulpit in this State, al
though such a thing is far too common at the North.
We are disposed 10 take a charitable view of this
strange alteration of your clergymNn, on the
ground that they know practically nothing OF the
subject.
1t may be that Fremont will not have a ticket
run in this State, but it is not because a lirge part
of the people do not wish that he should be cleo
ted. 1t would be somewhat difficult to organize
for the contest in such q way as to insure success
for most Of the newspapers are in the service o.
the old politicians, and could not be made aware
of The popular feeling in the course OF a Few
months. Besides, many regard the election o
Fremont as certain, expecting; as they do, that he
will receive the vote of the entire North. One Of
the most inexplicable things to us is, that there
should be a show of opposition to him. OF COURSE

Rev Samuel Crothers, pastor of the O. S. Pres,
~6yterian church, of Greenfield, Highland county,
died a few days since, while on a visit to his rela.
tives.
Mr.. CrOthers was one of the most thorough and
reliable among the early anti-slavery laborers in
Ohio. In connection with Rev. John Rankin,
and others ministers and laymen of the Chillocothe
Presbytery, be may be almost raid to have inau-
guratel the anti-slavery movement in Ohio. These
men and their churches were bold in their efforts,
liberal in their contributions and unintermitting in
their labOrs. But eventually, when in the pro-
gress of the cause, abolitionism made its impartial
application of principle to the churches, Mr.. c.,
took issue with the radical anti-slavery men and
strangely settled down in continued fellowship
with the Old School Presbyterian Church. Mr..
was a writer of more than ordinary vigor and
of his contributions to the early anti-slave-
ny literature were eminently useful. While we
~joyfully remember his faithful labors for the slave,
we can but be deeply panied with the recollection
of the fact that he with his sturdy intellect and
generous heart should be one of those thousands
hushed to silence with regard to slavery, and be.
guiled into completely with its Internal wrongs by
his union with Shareholders in the Church. In
how great measure does slavery owe its continued
prosperity to that idolatrous veneration for the
church and its dogmas, which so extensively IRE.

their trial for treason, made application a few days
since to Judge Mclean, for a writ of IIabeas Cor

it appeared on the face of the papers that the pris-

CALIFORNIA AND DISTINGUISHING of our ex-

State Government in California may lead to q
withdrawal from the Union and the attempted
organization of a confederacy on the Pacific. 1t is
said that the revolulonists are contemplating this
as the ultimate result of their present position and
are threatening it in case the Federal government
interferes in behalf of the State authorities against
the ruling Vigilance Committee.

The DEMOCRATIC IDEA OF FREE Discussion, is
set forth quite lucidly in the following paragraph
from an article in the New York Day Book. The
article is headed Free Discussion ;"
"To discuss such a question or such a proposal
as negro equality is not only unnatural and wick
ed, but absurd-as foolish as to propose the equal
ity Of children and adults. 1t is an insult to every
mans manhood, an indecency, an impiety, a dis
gusting obscenity utterly inadmissable, and the
base scullions Of British aristocrats that dare to
thus insult American manhood, deseve to be, and
sooner or later will be thrust from the pale of So
ciety, as social lepers who have forfeited not only
the protection of the laws, bat the rights to fell
lowship with white men,"
1t is impossible after reading this paragraph tc
mistake the ideas of the Democratic party regard
ing human equality and free speech relating there
to. The editor plainly intimates that his the
DRY will BE enforced if tie Democratic ruie con
tinues. No doubt of it. 1t is in force now in re
gard to black men in all the slave States. AnC
the party doubtless contemplate blessing all tn,
free States from California to Maine with the lega
enforcement of their news of free discussion.

KANsAs.-We learn from the last Kansas Tri-
bune that the South Carolina and Missouri Ruff
ans are still at their work outraging the persons
of Free State citizens and plundering them of their
property. They make their regular circuits, so as
to command the thoroughfares of entrance to the
territory, thus enabling them to meet and turn
back the incoming emigrants ana possess themselves
of their arms and properly and also of the sup
plies broughtin by the present residents.
The Tribune also states that though the Legis-
lature dispersed at the command of Sumner en-
forced by his artillery, "Still the people of Kan
sas are not going to be defeated in their object.
They have adopted a constitution and elected a
legislature, aid they intend to be governed by
that constitution, either in the Union or out of it,

THE BLESSED UNION"

There is great necessity for the Union-saving
services Of the great political parties of the day,
if we may judge from the following from q slave
State Kansas paper:
"Several parties have inquired of us why the
law has not been put in force ut Topeka, as well
as at Lawrence, against abolition p
Topeka is no better than Lawrence, it is also de-
mOralized; but it is not so well known abroad. III
both Topeka and Lawrence we're tlotted out, en-
tirely obliterated, it would be the best thing for
Kansas that could happen. The sooner the peo-
plo CT Topeka sound their death knell the better;
they are too corrupt and degraded TO live. We
would like to be present and raise our ebenezer in
the funeral. 1t is silly to suppose for an instant
that there can be peace in Kansas as long as one
enemy of the South lives upon her soil. or one
single specimen of IN abolitionist treads in the sun
light OF Kansas territory"
Those men with whom we pay so great a price
for Union, are no idle theorists. They are active
in their efforts to prevent any "a3Olitionist from
living in the sunlight of Kansas Territory" They
are vigorously pursuing the means to exclude
them from Kansas, as effectually as they are now
excluded from Carolina and the other fourteen
slave States of the "Blossed Union" The same
paper makes the following stirring appeal to the
South for men and means:
'Men we must nave; money Is q secondary con-
sideration; send us the men and we promise you
by the Eternal" they shall not starve. IL you
do not send men the Territory of Kansas will
become q hotbed for negro thieves, who, not being
satisfied, will extend their rule eventually to the
confines OF Texas. Now is the time to nip their
devlish Vaccinations in the bud. More remote
Southern States flatter themselves that there is re
danger. Let us see if there is none. Kansas as
it lays embraces 81 degrees OF latitude, or from
36l degrees south to 40 degrees north, of which
the whole extent borders on the State of Missouri
Kansas then becomes a Free State wholly by in
difference on the part of the rich remote, Southern
States, and Missouri is surrounded. The mex
step which follows after Kansas has been stolen
from the South will be in the possession of the
Indian Territory which reaches from "a degrees
south to the Kansas line, now occupied by many
tribes of Indians, among which are the Choctaw
and Cherokee tribes. who are large shareholders

paupers from The East and North even as they arr

SALEM, ONO, AUGUST 16, 1856.
THE ANNIVERSARY.

Two weeks from to-day the Annual meeting of
the Western Anti-Slavery Society, commences in
this place. We hope then to see a large assembly
of the Friends of the slave from all parts of The
Country. The cause Of the oppressed white men
in Kansas calls fo,h assemble Of earnest sympa-
thizers, by thousands and tens of thousands in our
State, and shall not the more urgent cry of our
millions of p~erishing slaves be heard. Will not
our citizens come at their call to give their sympa-
thy aud bestow their add We hope for a large
gathering. We expect it.
So far as speakers are concerned, there will be
unusual inducements for attendance. A recent
letter from Mr.. Pillsbury places his attendance be-
yond doubt, if his life and health are spared. Mr..
Remond of Massachusetts one of the most elo-
quent orators of the country, is expected. An
drew 7. Foss, a sturdy champion of Freedom from
New Hampshire, will be here; as also, Oliver John
son, of New York, whom the abolitionists of Ohio
know and will rejoice to welcome. Wm. C. Nell,
of Massachusetts, sterling friend of the slave will
also be present, besides our friends from
this section of the country, among whom we ex-
pect Mr.. John NJ. Langston, Of Lorraine county,
an accomplished speaker and an earnest friend of
the cause.
The meeting will commence Mt 10 o'clock on
Saturday the 30th inst, at the Friends Meeting
House, and will continue during that and the two
subsequent days. The meetings on Sunday will
probably be held in the grove at the Fair Ground
on the Can't Id road.
Our friends need not decline coming for fear OF
lack ol accommodations The citizens of Salem
will be found ready to welcome them with q liber
a, hospitality. There are also two large Temperance
Hotels in the place-The Farquhar House and
the Wilson House, while these WHO prefer il
may find comfortable accommodations in private
boarding houses, for a reasonable consideration.
