LOOK OUT FOR ALTERED NorEs.-One dollar
notes OF Mahoning Co. Bank altered to Tens, are
in circulation. The figure $40 on each end Of the

picture therein published, satirizing the unsafety

They have, we observe, a bill pending in the
Virginia Legislature"to allow one Thomas Jones, &
free colored man Of Culpepper County, to enslavt
himself" This is all very well if Thomas Jones
desires it but we think the Legislature ought, il

ored persons now held in Culpepper County as
slaves, and who may desire it, to emancipatC
themselves. This would lie to hold the balance
even, and to do the fair thing. Certainly a mans
desires for liberty are as much entitled to De

geese immortalized Ivy the French satirist, who, as

alton, but for whom mankind would be Il miserable
set, without pens to write with, or even beds to SLEEP
on. The Montgomery Journal, in giving an account
of the Governors inaugural address, has the fol-
lowing passage;
9Th Executive referred to the reculiar situation
of our federal relations and to the progress OF
fanaticism, alluded to the benefits of the institution
of slavery to the African race, and to its power in
developing the resources of the producing States,
spoke Of the power Of cotton as the regulator OF
commerce, and as the great paclticator OF the civil
lied ~world-alluded TO the immense resources OF
the South, and of its ability to sustain itself in any
emergency-that in the defense of its rights ii
must and could rely on its own prowess. and that
it must meet aggression at the threshold and be
true to ITSELF" &c.
