WOULD NOT ACCEPT FREEDOM"

The New York Herald it is we'll known, is one
Of those journals which regard slavery as prefera-
BILE to liberty, and it therefore publishes with great
gusto, q circumstance of recent occurrence in that
city, afording another instance Of the fact that
a sensible negro prefers slavery to freedom, such
as blacks experience at the North. 1t seems that
two years since a negro woman named Diana was
purchased from her owner, S. +. Gould, Esq, of
Edgefeld, S. c., by "abotionists" residing in
New York, where Diana went and nursed her
mother until she died, when, having no relatives
or friends there, and being out of employment
she desires to return to the home of her childhood
where her husband and children are still living
Hearing that Col. NJ. Frazer, neighbor of her
former master, was in the city, she called upon
him at the Astor House and begged oi him to take
her back to her old home, and Col. Frazer consen
ted to do so. Now what does this prove but that
this daughter of the race of Canaan is human
being, and prefers the society of her husband and
children to living among strangers: though while
her mother was living she exiled herself from
''home comforts" to nurse her? The Herald ha,
proved too much for its own case, as is frequently
done by those who desire to impress us with the
idea that slavery is blessing.-PtH Sun.

"There are some other singular features in the

how in this State ard city, 10y concatenahon OF

AETT.sLAVERY PRINCIPLES.

Anti-slavery principles appear to be making
rapid progress in the slave States, since the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise. That step we think
was one of the most suicidal ones ever made by
Southern politicians.
Ii will have been noted, as an example Of the
feeling in some parts of the south that meeting
called to ratfy the nomination Of Fillmore and
Donelson in L5udOn county, Virginia is stated to
have been made an entire fzzle, through the nu-
morcal force and bold speeches Of the $50 called
BLACK Republicans" of that section of Virginia.
In Madison county, X, meeting has been call
ed to send delegates to the National Republican
Convention, which it is predicted will be one of
the finest meetings ever held in that county.
The call to the people Of the United Sa'es( s(which
appears in the Republican organ) to send dele
gates to n convention at Philadelphia on the 7th
day of June, opposed to the further extension Of
Slavery, we find appended the names of James
Rcdpah of Missouri. John G.. Fee Of Kentucky;
L. D. Williams Of Delaware, T. p. Blair of Mary
land, and George Rye of Virginia All these
gentlemen reside in Slave States. Mr.. Rye is said
to be a substantial citizen Of Eastern Virginia.
The Editor of the Newport (ky.l Daily News
boasts that he is now, in the seventh year of his
editorial life, publishing the only daily anti-Sa-
very paper in the United States, and the only
weekly anti-Slavery paper in slavehoding STATE
though eight papers, got up in opposition to it,
have risen and fallen in Newport and COvington.

EMIGRANTS TO KANSAS.

The st. Louis Democrat says that free State en-
igrants for Kansas can venture by the river route
in case they 90 in small RWmJeTS and keep their
purpose secret in other words, in case they go in
companies of two or three, and profess to be pro-
slavery men, they may travel on board Missouri
river boats without being thrown over board! What
n confession is this No such advice is given to
Southern emigrants. They may 60 in as large
numbers, and with as much pompous parade as
they please
Is it not mos. humiliating to feel that mansteal-
ers may travel with all the security which is guar
antied to good citizens in Ohio that they may car
that they NAV openly avow their purpose to estab

they may threaten and swl lgger rs much as they
please: while peaceable citizens, men who love
law and order who 60 to their new II ONE with an
intention to establish justice, who go to build up
free schools and free institutons,-that these men
must disavow their holy and lawful purpose must
deny that they are good citizens, must humbly ask
pardon for being in the right, and return thanks
for being arranged in order to attain permission to
travel on q highway which belongs to all the peo-
ple of all the States in this coniederacy? Was 1t
for this tLas the Constitution was formed? Was
it for this that slavery was permitted to exist =
Was it for this that Missouri, that law-deiyne
State, was permitted to come into the cOnfederacy
with her accursed institution? Every day wo are
becoming more and more convinced that grea

MORE ABOUT THE SLAVE CASE.



While he late Slave trial was progressing in
this city, the United States Marshal, ii. IL. Robin
son, was in Washington, and called on President
Pierce for advice and direction. The President
told Mr.. Robinson they were talking socially to-
gether) that the negroes must 90 back to Ken
lucky ut all hazards. lie then patted the Marshal
on the shoulder, and told him to take just what
steps were, in his view, necessary to effect this
object-to use sound discretion, and all would
be rght-that he (the President) had secret SER
vice money enough at his command to pay all ex-
penses
Tho Secretary of War, then, at the request of
the President, gave Mr.. Robinson an order on the
Commandant of the Newport Garrison for any
troops he should require to be marched over to
Cincinnati.
Mr.. Robinson then came back to Cincinnati with
this order for soldiers from Newport in his pocket,
and Immediately n great number Of additional
special Marshals were appointed so as to swell
the list to some three hundred.
On the close OF the trial. the certificates of these
Marshals for their pay, were bought up, in great
numbers, at about fifty per cent. discount, and
most of them bought by men who never had any
money for such investments before. One Deputy
Marshal who kept doggery within four doors Of
the Court room had six hundred dollars to buy up
these certificates of his brother deputies. Who
they operated for we do not know, but we presume
the person who furnished the funds, knew there
was secret service money enough to pay oil the
expenses
In the terrible crisis that Mr.. Robinson appre-
hended, immediately after his return from Wash
ingtoh every body seems to have been appointed
a Deputy Marshal, that would or could serve, and
some that could not. One man who drew war
rant for twenty ght days service, out of the
city full ten days of that time. What discount he
made on his order, we have not learned Gin. Gaz.

few or many to to u.s. We should find
sufficient encouragement to 60 forward in the as.
surance that God is with us. In claiming, as we
do, the immediate and unconditional liberation of
every slave and in denying as do the possi-
bilty of law for slavery, cannot doubt, that we
have the divine appreciation and the divine bless.

He took her into a basement room, stripped her
