Slavery must Fall.

The friends of slavery in this country are
truly unfortunate in all their attempts to pro-
tcct and bolster up their favorite institution
The Fugitive Slave Law, instead Of protect
ing their runaway property, has only accelc-
rated the slave stampede to Canada.
And so will every effort end that attempts
by obnoxious and Objectionable means to sus-
tain, in this enlightened age, an institution
at war with equal rights, but which under the
constitution, we are honorably bound to toll
crate within its present limits. And now, the
chivalous legislature of Virginia has just pas
sed an act to provide for the more eiectual
protection of ''slavc property" the object of
which is to prevent the abduction of slaves by
means of northern vessels navigating the
streams tributary to the Chesapeake Bay;
but whether it will have any other tendency
than to ruin the already limited commerce Of
the State remains to be seen. The pilots arc
required by it to search every vessel outward
bound to ascertain whether any fugitive slaves
are on board, and for making this search they
are to exact fee of s5 from the vessel, wheth-
er there be any thing wrong or notl Poor
short-sighted virginial To sustain an insti-
tuition that impoverishes her soil, destroys en-
terprise and paralyzes industry, the old mother
Of statesmen is now driving trade and COM
merce from her borders! How are the NIGH
ty fallen! But all such attempts are futile,
and only show the weakness of that power
which requires them. Slavery must fall, and
with its fall the old Dominion will rise to be-
come one of the first States Of the Confed-
eracy. Her climate, soil and natural advan-
tages all invite the intelligent and enterpris-
ing TO her soil; but slavery drives them from
it.
1t is an encouraging sign that so many in
the south see and feel the disadvantages of
slavery, and are asking the question, "Hov
can we get rid Of it with safety to ourselvesP =
Let the South and North unitedly aid the
Colonization scheme with half the zeal, but
with far more sincerity, than thoy now use TO
discuss the question for mere party purposes,
and slavery would yield to their philanthropy
and benighted Africa soon be blest with
Christianity and civilization. I

A Case of Circumstantial Evidence.

The following annecdote, dpropos of the
gold medals-some OF them Of great value
which the French Government is distributing
to the members of the International Jury,
and others, is related by the French cores
pondent of the Courier des Etats Unis-
The scene is laid in drawing room in Paris
One Of the company was showing gold
medal which had been awarded him, and
which was worth five thousand francs. The
medal passed from hand to hand, and wher,
half an hour afterwards, the owner asked for
it again, it could not be found. Every nook
and corner was searched but it vain. This
sudden disappearance produced considerable
agitation in the company, which was select
but numerous, and finally some one proposed
that every one should be searched-the men
by the men, and the women by the women.
All the persons present eagerly signifcd their
assent, with the exception of single indi-
vidual; who had been presented that very
night, for the first time, in the house. This
man declared very calmly, but decidedly, that
he could not consent to be searched. The eff
feet these words produced may easily be i'm
agined. 1t was no longer doubted but that
he was the robber, and the gentleman who
introduced him was more dead than alive.
The master Of the house was about turning
the supposed thief into the street, and the
owner Of the medal had already cntreated
the company to forget the Circumstance e, when,
n lady having risen from her seat, 10! the
missing medal suddenly fell out Of ono of the
flounces Of her dress, into which it had acc-
dcntally slipped aud buried itself. The SON
sation produced by this sudden announcement
was prodigious, A cry of joyful surprise ran
throughout the room. The individual sns-
pocted If tn" thef; was declared innocent.

present, with ms Exception, and because, by
a s.ranga coincidencc--so strange that no one
would have believe it possible-I have on

that was lost"
He then produced the medal, which, if it
had been found on him, would have ruined
him quarter Of an hour before, but which
was now an additional proof of his innocence.
This incident, which myself witnessed, is
but an additional proof of the uncertainty of
human judgments.

At certain periods in the development of nations, as

That object may be legitimate and harmonic with

We find implanted in mans moral, az 10 his material
and physical nature, many desires which are rrepres
able and which demand object. Take the religious
sentiment which is not generally the strongest in our
nature as ap example: we find whole nations have
been willing to deceive themselves by the worship OF
images which they have created themselves, and to
persuade themselves that they really have the gea
powers attributed TO them

FOCR DAYS LATER FROM KANSAS.


We saw on Saturday afternoon Mr.. Harvey for a
long tine connected with the Friends Mission in Kan
sds who LEFT l.compton, h. t. only four days before
He says that the Grand Jury had found indictments
for murder in the first degree against most OF the
hundred and nine Free-State prisoners but three had
been discharged for want of evidence. Ii report
cd at LecOmptOn that Geary said be would pardon
them if convicted, but Woodson and the decided Blu
ohGnan Men insisting upon the execution of the
whole OF them. What the result will be cannot easily
lie guessed; but If Fremont elected the people feel
pretty confident that nothing will come OF 1t. The
I1roueIs confined in Il most foul and nosOme hole,

Mr.. Harvey reports that very large numbers of Free

constant use between Legyenworih and Lawrence, by
emigrants passing up into the Territory Terry few
seters were coming away, and those few chiefly like

Territory to fight and vote, going home. Some
Of them were returning at the time Mr. Harvey came
away.

knew were committed by those Buchanan Rutiiaas
An old PctawataUie Indian named Burnet, said to Mr.
Harvey, You need never talk of the cruelty of In
" dsus hereafter, these beat ythng the Indians

Wbiif,lds election, Mr Harvey says, was mere
farce. The ree-ttate men did not vote, and the pro-
slavery vote almost nothing. In one precinct
which gave Whitfield 700 Missouri votes at his frst
election, there but fourteen votes cast, and they
were ali pro.slsvery. At another there was similar

sa BY the Slavery men, and generally under
stood. that they were under Indictment penal IN the
fr.t degree. During the whole of last Summer
they shared in the endurance OF confinement, the
unhsppiness Of which has been covered up IN the
eyes Of the unthinking world By i's renown. Daily
and nightly, United States soldiers, with loaded car
bue. paced the round Of the prison tents. At last
piece Of clever political wireworking awoke the
Pro-Ssvery judiciary TO the necessity OF the pris-
orer, beng liberated on bail, and liberated on bail

five prisOners-Robinson, Smith, jenkins, Dietzler
and Brown-it was ascertainea that there was no
Indictment against Brown or Williams; in fact
nothing on rocOrd against them dHyrherc. True TO
it's instincts, the Pro.Slayery Court was about 10
leave them 10 their fate prisoners the case being

thing mast be done with them Matters being re-
duced to this pass, something was done. They were
put upon the same bail bond the other H. pris-

the mysteries OF course it will be no very difficult
