A FREEDOM shrieker asoid. -

Our readers will recollect an account pub.
lished some time since Of stirring appeal
made by Henry Ward Beecher, in his own
church, on Sunday, in behalf of young slave
girl from the South and called upon his audi
ence to raise one thousand two hundred dollars
to enable Sarah to purchase her freedom. So
affecting was the appeal that ladies who had
no money with them took of their rings and
bracelets and threw them upon the plate. The
required sum was raised, and the girl was
petted and feasted by the church, until her
habits became more than suspicious, and ap-
pearances grew stronger every day that she
had become decidedly bad. Lately the girl
was missing, together with certain goods and
chattels belonging to her friends, and cores.
pondent Of the New York Neacs writes that
paper that Mr.. Beecher has recently received
information from her late owner that Sarah.
tired of the dull life imposed upon her in the
neighborhood of her Abolition associates, had
returned TO him, was quite happy, and was
getting along "as well as could be expected
under the circumstances. She had raised for
her master the one thousand two hundred dol
lars, and he had saved his credit and his slave
at the same time. A good speculation for him.
but 1T must be rather sore subject for those
ladies of Beechers congregation, whose dia.
monds so readily dropped at his "shriekn for
the freedom of an abandoned slave Rochester

A New Cent.

Everybody will be glad to learn that new
cent is to be coined. The old copper head,
which has SO long represented the smallest
fractional division Of our decimal money in
use, is too cumbrous and large for the little
value it represents, and the substitution for il
of new coin, readily distinguishable from all
others in circulation, will be considered by all
great improvement 1t is, therefore, pro.
posed by the Director of the Mint, that the new
cent shall be eighty-eight parts copper and
twelve parts nickel This will make coin of

may be, according to its sovereign will and
pleasure"
There are people who pretend that there is
ambiguity about what the phrase, the people,
means when used by Mr.. Buchanan. This,
however, is only pretence, and very shall
low one at that
In the year lS4s, when Secretary of State
under Mr. Polk, and in the course of a public
speech at Washington, Mr.. Buchanan said in
reference to slavery in California;
In California, it must be finally decided, in
brief period, by the authority from which,
under our Constitution, there can be no appeal.
All admit that the people Of that Territory,
aohea assembled IN convention TO form State
constitution, possesses the SOLE the erclusive
shall not exist within its limits.
He clearly defi ed also his meaning of the
term, "the people," in letter written the same
year TO Mr.. Sandford, by saying that they could
only act when they had reached sufficient
number, and were duly assembled in conven-
ton, to form State constitution, and not when
assembled in public meetings
Every one who reflects but few moments
on this point, must, we think, conclude that as,
by the Kansas bill, Congress cannot interfere
with the subject, and as the Territorial Legs-
lature, its creature, can no more do so, it must
rest with the people-the actual and legal resi-
dents--under the restrictions indicated by the
Constitution, the Kansas bill, and Mr.. Buch-
anan-when they apply for admission as
State to determine the question. The power
to decide must necessarily rest somewhere.
No Southern or States rights-man could for a
single instant think of conceding it to Con.
gress; and, indeed, in the propositions which
have been brought forward in the Senate by
Mr.. Toombs, and the.majority of the Committee
on Territories through Mr.. Douglas, within the
past few weeks for the prospective admission
OF Kansas as State, the power is distinctly
given to the people, when, by census to be
taken for that purpose, there shall be found "A
sufficient number OF actual, bona fde residents
to entitle them to a representative in Congress
under the existing apportionment, and when
assembled in convention TO form State con.
stitution, to decide whether slavery shall or shall
not exist therein.
This, we believe, 10 be the proper view OF
this difficult question, and the only lust and
practical method of solving it. If Mr. Buch-
anan's actual opponents or enforced sup.
porters can find aught in his past history and
conduct as public man-any vote, speech, or
letter, inconsistent with the Kansas bill or the
Cincinnati platform, they will accomplish more
than our researches have enabled us to do

Record without a BIem,sh

Inc Isichhohu enquirer or tuesday last
closes most admirable review Of Mr.. Buch
anans record upon the slavery question, with
the following, which we commend especially tc
those who, in the present crisis, are disposed to
permit loyalty to tile South, in the Union and
under the Constitution, to become the govern
ing principle of their political action:
"In private as well as in public Mr.. Buch
anan has always stood on the side of the
South, the citizen and the statesman are one
and the same individual. He supported the
rights OF the South when in Office, he vindcated
and maintained those rights when out of Office
de not only voted for all measures Of justice
to the South, but he endeavored to carry them
into effect. His is not dead record of votes,
but living record of acts, which vndicate the
honesty of the votes Thus, Mr.. Buchanan
exhorted the North to faithful and cheerful
fulflment of the obligations of the fugitive
slave law. He protested against prohibition
of the jails in Pennsylvania to federal officers
for the confinement of captured slaves. He
denounced the Wilmot proviso. He approved
the Clayton Compromise of 1910. And to
sum up in single sentence, he has at all
times and in all places exerted the authority of
his high character and great talents to uphold
the Union, defend the Constitution, and pro
tect the South"
To recapitulate
|. In 1886, Mr.. Buchanan supported a bill
to prohibit the circulation of Abolition papers
through the mails.
2. In the same year he proposed and voted
Tor the admission of Arkansas.
3. In 1867, he denounced and voted to
reject petitions for the abolition of slavery into
the District of Columbia
a. Ia 1887, he voted for Mr.. Calhoun's ia.
nous resolutions, defining the rights of the
States and limits of Federal authority, and
affirming 1t to be the duty of the Government
TO protect and uphold the institutions Of the
South.
s. In 1889 and 40, he invariably voted
with Southern Senators against the considera-
ton of anti-savery petitions
8. In l844-'5, he advocated and voted for
the annexation of Texas.
Z. In l847, he sustained the Clayton Com
promise.
8. Ia 1850, he proposed and urged the ex.
tension Of the Missouri Compromise to the
Pacific ocean
3. But, he promptly acquiesced in the Com
promise of so, and employed all his influence
IN favor of the faithful execution of the Fupi
tive Slave law.
lO. In 1851, he demonstrated against an en-.
actment OF the Pennsylvania Legislature for
obstructing the arrest and return for fugitive
slaves.
IL. In 1854, he negotiated for the acquisi.
tion of Cuba.
IL In 1856, he approves the repeal Of the
Missouri restriction, and supports the princi.
Piles Of the Kansas n Nebraska act.
-. lie never gave a vote against the in
teresls of slavery, and never uttered word
which could pain the most sensitive Southern
heart.
The prominent facts Of Mr. Buchanan's re.
cord touching slavery are thus grouped into a
single view; so that the person of the least
patience in research, may ascertain at glance
how the Democratic candidate stands in respect
to the great issue Of the canvass"
