THE COMMENTED" NEGRoEs.-Just before the
ruhors came of the insurrectionary
among the slaves in the Southwest. Senator
Butler of South Carolina, "the uncle of his
nephew" made a speech, in the course of which
he said:
"The institution of slavery in South Carolina,
Virginia, and the other slavoholding States now
is no more the institution it was when our fore
fathers condemned it than the condition of the
native African is equal to the elevated position
of this people. Our slaves. of whom you speak 80
much, are intelligent workmen. Many Of them
receive two and r. half pounds and three pounds Of
food a week, with plenty Of clothing. Is is the
interest Of the master that they shall be cl jthed
fed. Thew make their little crops and are
perfectly happy. Some of them run away
and they have got to cunning back. That ia the
worst OF it with those fello ss. Laughter. They
have actually got to coming back. The best
fugitive slave law is the fact that they cannot get
any work or anything to eat when they 20 to the
North, and they come back"

jury TRIAL AMONG THE SoUAIrERs.- "A Mr..
Montague, one ot the escaped prisoners in Kansas,
gives the following unique account of a Teeumseh
Grand Jury, and how they were discharged

circumstances. The Tecumseh district is rather a
peculiar one there are tO many free state men in

SOUTHERN CnIvALRY.-The chivalrous Virgin
ians of Richmond, on the 10Th inst publicly
whipped a free woman "for being in the city with
improper papers," What papers are proper for
free pomen to have in Virginia we are not in
formed, though it is of some i'm Importance for women
who visit the city to know. Some prejudice was
probably excited against this woman On account
of her complexion, as it is said not TO be of the
Highest cast.

II is truly astonishing and
consoling to see the number Of "Black Re-
publicans," "Nigger Worshippers," "Sec-
tionalists. '&c. las called by the pro-slasery
PRESS that floods the county on every rail-
road, steamboat and stage coach that bears
the people onward In their travels. In ev-
cry vote taken the "People's Candidate"
re ceives fresh laurels to deck his brow
The heart of the American people beats
warm for Freedom, and every day the tide 10
swelling as it onward moves to Freedom
and victory. Thursday afternoon as the
train on the Chicago and Rock Island X.
h. was proceeding from Chicago to Rock
Island, a Republican proceeded to canvass
the cars Tor the purpose OF ascertaining the
choice of the passengers for President
The result was gratifying to every Repub-
lican heart in the cars. 1t gave a larger
majority for Fremont than l have before
seen, viz; Fremont IS; Buchanan I; Fill
more .; a majority of over 4 to l for Free
mont above both other candidates. The
gentleman informed me that during the
week he had taken avote every day, which
had given Fremont u majority on an ave-
rage of 3 to l over Buchanan. On the De-
troit and Chicago r. r. another gentleman
informed me that he took a vote which re-
suited in ~ for Fremont; IA for Buchanan;
II for Fillmore; three of the number vo-
ting for Fremont being Virginians who de-
clared their hostility to Slavery, and their
love of Free Speech and Free Territory
In every instance where a vote has been
taken on the cars, so far as | have heard or
seen, Fremont and Freedom have been vic
torious over Buchanan and Slavery. What
better chance have we Of ascertaining the
opinion of the people of the United States
than in these railroad votes, where people
from every part of the Union are moving
westward to populate the unsettled por'
tons Of Iowa, Minnesots, Kansas and Ne
braska, Does it not predict a triumphant
victory for Freedom next November' AL
over the country we hear of meetings rati.
flying the nominations of the Republican
party, the people boldly enlisting for the
coming contest. The fact has gone forth
in laundering tones that "Kansas shall be
free; Freedom must conquer!" The spirit
of '76 animates the minds of the people
Let the pro-sl'very journals thunder fol-
their pretended love for the Constitution
Let them heap their abuses upon the Re-
publican party and the Republican stand
ard-bearers. The people will not be de-
ceived by their traitorous appeals. They
see and feel their condition, and are deter
mined that Slavery shall stop in its onward
curse of ruin, and that Freedom shall cree
a trophy to her memory next Novembe
that will be a terror to evil-doers. Go,
speed the right! l.. d.

PRIMEyaL AND PIscAroktAL.-We learn
from the Mirror that there was no regular
celebration of "The Fourth" in Lansing,
and that consequently most Of the town
went a-fshing,-or, in the language Of the
Mirror, "the patriotism of the town expend-
ed itself in a comparatively harmless on
slaught on the trou in our numerous trout
ing streams" This mode of celebrating
would have delighted the soul Of Isaak Wal
ton, and if the folks of Lansing are SO fond
of the "gentle sport" it would not be a bad
idea to change the name of their town to
Waltonia. 1t is certainly much more Gu.
phonioustthan the one they now have.

for the disposition of unpaid letters to per.

found to work well, all postmasters are

an unpaid letter is put in the Office, the
postmaster informs the person to whom j,
is directed that by enclosing a stamp OF
stamps as the case may be, and preparing
the note that contains them, the letter will
be duly forwarded according to its direction.
This dispenses with the former practice Of
posting up notices of unpaid letters.

Henry w. Hoffman, of Maryland, was
the only member from tho slave States VINO
had independence enough to vote in the al
irmative on the question Of exPe'hng
Brooks. Hall, of Iowa, as was expected
voted in the negative. On account OF the
~censurc cast upon him BY the House for his
eomplcity with Brooks, the Hon. L. NJ
Keitt also resigned his seat, so that count
ing Herbert, who is in duress for murder,
there are now three d~isrepu,able and trou-
blesome members out of the way, and there
10 30 much the better chance Of justice be-
ing done 10 Kansas. The rejection of the
Toombs-D douglas bill by the House may
now be regarded as pretty certain, and that
tissue OF unfsirness and sophistries will be
returned void to its authors.
Lewis ID. Campbell, OF Ohio, deserves
the thanks of the country for the able and
fearless manner in which he CO nducted to
. successful issue the cause of the people
against the insolent assaults of the slave
faction. Occasionally Mr.C ampbell's course
has been such a. to cause some alarm among
the friends Of freedom, but in every real
emergency he has shown himself fully equal
to the crisis, and has justified the con-
6dence Of which he has been the recipient.
Acknowledged as the leader Of the Anti
Nebraska forces in the House, at q time
when the office of leader is by ne means a
sinecure, Mr.. Campbell, as far as we are
able to judge of his general course from re-
ports of the proceedings, has shown a fer
tiiity of resources and q control of circum-
stances that have exercised the happiest
influence in forwarding the main questions
hcient manner in which they have been re-
deemed, We entirely forgive MIR. Campbell
any of the vagaries in which he seemed al
one time disposed to Indulge. He has done
vastly more good on the floor, than he
could have accomplished in the Speak
ers's chair, and the services he has render
ed to the cause will not be forgotten.
The present position of affairs will render
it comparatively easy for the majority Of the
House 10 adhere to the stand il has taken
in regard to Kansas. The first thing in
order will te to reject the hypocritical bill
of Toombs and Douglas, and then, as free
dom and justice have nothing to expect
from the Senate, all that can be done will
be 10 await the further action Of the people.
n any reliance is to be placed in the indi-
cations which press for recognition on ev-
cry side, that action will be of the most pos
tive and desira Bile character. Under all
the circumstances, the action of the major.
~ Of the House of Representatives is de-
serving of high praise, and it is now opera.

bringing about the triumphant election o.

Republican Meetings.


The larges, meeting that ever assem-
bled west of Ohio, was the Fremont and
Dayton meeting which occurred at Indian
apolis on the 18th inst. 1t far surpassed
that at Tippecanoe in ls4o, both for num-
bers and enthusiasm. The number Of
strangers was estimated at from $4,000 to
5000. The special reporter of the Chics-
60 Tribune says
"Taken as q whole, this meeting was the
largest and most enthusiastic gathering
ever held in the West. 1t lays all the mon
ster meetings of 1910 in the shade, as much
BY it's superiority Of numbers as by the en-
EtLusiasm il evoked. II is without parallel
in the political history Of the West; and we
do not believe that in the whole campaign
this spontaneous in-gathering OF the Hoo
siers will be equaiied in the East or West.
The spirit Of the people and their willing
ness to turn out and work is an earnest
that Indiana is sure for Fremont"
Five thousand persons were present at
the Fremont and Dayton meeting in Belle
vile, Illinois, a particular feature of which
was a delegation from st. Louis, number
ing seven or eight hundred persons. They
said their only object in going out of Mis-
souri, tn attend a Fremont demonstration,
was to express in acts their detestation of
the Border Rufianism, by which not only
their State, but the whole nation hes been
disgraced.
The meeting was addressed by Messrs.
BisselI and Kerner; and Fred. Hecker, one
of the Republican electors at large for ILL.,
nsis, sent a pithy and characteristic letter
from which We make the ~subjoined extract.
Referring to those who would misrepresent
hi. absence, although they knew it to be
occasioned BY sickness, he says
Let all such know that, as soon as | shall
be able barely to stand up, even il nv
health be not fully restored, | will speak to
the people OF st. Clair and adjoining coun-
ties on the great question of the day; and
that l will endeavor to show how the hon
or of the German name and the German ma.
ton, how hatred against aristocratic pre-
tie nsions and tyranny, render it the holy, the
unavoidable duty of every man of the Ger
man tongue, to enter the lists against sla-
very and slavocracy; how only the most So
phisticai, the most forced perversion of the
freest Constitution Of the freest country,
can assert, much to the rejoicing of all the
oppressors and deEpiserE Of men, thai it es-
tablishes Slavery as the rule and Freedom
as the exception; how those only maintain
firmly and faithfully the spirit and the letter
Of the Declaration Of independence and the
Constitution who oppose Slavery and its ex-
tension, thus upholaing this Constitution
spotless, a blessed gospel for all the OPP
pressed and enslaved nations of the earth,
and carrying its banner without stain over
all the globe. Desiring you to consider
me as voting with those who endorse the
philadelphia Platform, and the ticket nom
mated upon il, and no less with those who
support the resolutions adopted at the
Bloomington State Convention, and the
State ticket, | sign myself,
Very Respectfully,
FR. HEcKER.
