But, it is answered by the Know NOTHING n,,

1t is we'll known that, as citizen of Keptuckv
Mr.. Clay was an emancipationist He opposed The
introduction of slavery into that State and labored
prudently and reasonably to have it abolished. He
regarded and spoke of it as an "evil," and on one
occasion, in speech before the Colonization Socis

never gone that far.
And, now will the Signal persist in garbling Mr.,

themselves, to common justice and to the cause of
truth, to publish at least as much of the speech as
we have given above? The volume of Debates cou.

The fact to which we refer is this, that in all of
these States, Iowa, Vermont amid Maine, the Dem
ocrats, the friends of Mr. Buchanan have raised the
banner Of opposition to black Republicanism. They
have run candidates, and in Vermont and Iowa,
they have fallen battling manfully for their prnci
pies. Where scere the Fillmore men-the " Nation
al Americans of Iowa and of Vermont, where are
the Fillmore men of Maine in this struggle mo
where! Either the Fillmore party was unable to
a ticket in single of these States it was
unwilling. Either it could not it would not, and
yet the South is asked to vote for candidate that
far has shown himself without any party at all.
The Democrats have been beaten in Vermont, where
they have always been beaten, and they have also
been beaten in Iowa, and the Fillmoretes haze mot
been beaten, either because there of them

they were merged in the ant-Democratic coalition.

A WORD TO SOUTHERN MERcHANTs.-We were
shown a letter on yesterday from Philadelphia
correspondent Of house in this place, part of
which surprised us very much. 1t is this The
house here had ordered materials to be purchased
for them by their agent, from house with whom
they had been trading; which was executed as sup
posed, upon the usual terms, or months. On
the next day, to the surprise of the agent, he
ceived message stating that the head of the firm
had concluded that it desirable to receive
any Southern paper owing to the political difficulties
between the North and the South, but would sell
for cash." The agent very properly returned in re-
ply, that eff these were his feelings be would not
buy from him on any terms whatever" We also
understand that another merchant who had pur-
chased from another firm in Philadelphia goods in
his line on going to New York and seeing card
from them expressing similar feelings to the above
he Immediately sat down and wrote them word that
they need not pack his goods for he would not re-
ceive them. The houses referred to above are D.
Scull Son and Morris L. Halowell. Now, our
opinion has always been, that if merchants had
declined purchasing their goods at Philadelphia and
New York and stopt at Baltimore, abolitionism
would have been nipped in the bud. Affect mans
interest and you will soon bring him to terms.

SLAVERY IN AFRICA. Intelligent travellers state
that the population of Africa is about fifty millions,
of whom forty-three millions are slaves. Their
slavery is of the most degrading and horrid kind.
The masters are cruel and barbarous in the extreme
and in most instances, have the power of life and
death over the slaves. Upon the death of chief,
some two or three hundred of his slaves are put to
death and buried in the same grave with him. The
negro king Of Dahomy has his court yard paved
with the skulls of slaves. and graced with pyramids
of the same material.
What a contrast this to the condition of the same
race in the South where they better clothed, fed
and lodged, than the white laborers of any other
country, and where they enjoy all the humauizing
and elevatng influences of civilization and Chris.
tlanity Yet it is over this superior condition that
such howl of Indignation is raised by men who.
they had their way, would reduce the whole South
to the condition of Dahomy.

than those OF the interior towns, are
made the sufferers by the laxity and
inadvertance of those connected with

that the Democrats will have ffty-seyen or

RoBBERY.--Sn & Co., Miners, on Vir-

two hundred dollars worth of amalgum to-
gcther with several pans and other mining
implements. This claim is now, and has
been for some time past, paying richly, and
the boys say they can afford to lose the gold
but would be thankful if the rascals who
took it would return the tools, as they need
them to get more gold with. Who the rob-
bcrs were remains yet mystery.
