The Central (Richmond, Va.) Presbyterian Told
School) utters the following pious lamentation.
which to our ears is welcome as a strain of mu-
sic
PRIus DEMENTAT.-We regret to see that Wen
dell Phillips, the notorious Disunionist and Abo-
litionist, the reviler of the American Church and
clergy, and the slanderer of Washington, has
been invited by the Literary Societies of two OF
the most prominent Northern Colleges to be their
orator. We deplore such indications, because
they prove that hostility to the the South and 10
Union is becoming deeper and deadlier in the
minds of the young men of the North and we are
reminded of the advice of the young men to Re
hoboam, that brought a dissolution of the unior
between the tribes of Israel, from which perioC
the sun of the Hebrew republic began to descend
until it set in its long night of exile, disaster ant
sorrow.
We assure the Presbyterian that it is quite RICH
in the inference it draws from Mr.. Phillips ap
pearance at New Haven. Ere long, we trust, i
it will hear from some of those young men of tn,
North" whose influence it so much breads. Tn,
Colleges of the North cannot much longer be reli
cd upon as nurseries for doaghfaces.-Ank S

THE RIGHTS OF CoLoREd MEN.-The State oil
Maine, has through her supreme judges decided
that colored men are citizens of the State in def
ance Of the dictum of Judge fancy. They have
secured to them the exercise of the right of suffrage
which they have always enjoyed under tho consti
tuition of that State. Maine and Louisiana permit
their colosed citizens TO vote, but Republican Ohio
grants no such favors to ringers. Speaking or
this subject, one of our exchanges says:
at i, not alone in tho State eff Maine, or the
Northern States generally, that the question of ne
gro suffrage is a matter of interest. 1t is well
known that in the French and Spanish colonies,
the white fathers of colored children have been
much more mindful Of the ties of paternity than in
those colonies settled by the English. These faith
ers have always considered themselves bound To
make some provision for their oolored children, and
hence it happened that when louisiana was ceded
to the United States there was a considerable
number of planters having more or less African
blood in their veins, who, under the treaty Of ces-
sion, acquired the rights of citizenship. In some
districts these colored voters are 80 numerous asito
hold the balance of power, and as they have had the
power and good fortune to vote of late years with
the Democratic party, they row find a Jealous de-

beneicient influence in Ohio, and done no small
amount of good in some other Western States
During the last year it has had to struggle with
severe financial difficulties, so that its friends have
been seriously apprehensive that a necessity might
arise for its discontinuance but we trust the
Western nti.Slavery Society, at its approaching
annual meeting, will place it above pecnniary EN-
bai rasment and adopt efficient measures for in
creasing its circulation and thereby augmenting
its influence.

SLAVERY IN THE DUrCH CoLoNIEs.-The Govern
ment of the Netherlands, il appear by the adyices
Of the Columbia, is taking steps to secure the abo-
li5ion of slavery in the Dutch Colonial possessions.
The project of a law has been submitted to the
States General, proposing to emancipa:e the slaves
in the Dutch West Indies, paying their owners an
idemnity of abovt thirty-four million guilders-
lars. The number of slaves in the colonies cannot
be very great, as their entire population is not
much more than a hundred thousand. The pro.
ject Of emancipation has not been very much agitat
ed, either in Holland or the Colonies-but it is the
general desire of most of the owners to have theil
slaves made free, provided they can be Unidentified
for the loss of their services.

SLAVERY IN ILLINOIS.

Some of the Democrats of Illinois have already
commenced advocating the introduction of Slavery
into that state. The Nation Gazette published
in Southern Illinois. urges arguments for the meas

idea that the presence of slaves works an injury
to the whites, or that the presence of free negroes.
enjoying political and social privileges. is at all
beneficial. We candidly and firmly believe to-day
that if Illinois were q slave State the best men
of Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, and even States
further South, would be here as soon as they
could remove their families, ano the prairies Of
Illinois would be made to smile as a lovely garden.
We have seen the best class of men ONE to our
State, admire it with enthusiasm, but return to
their homes because they could not bring their
whole families with them.
"The question comes up squarely to every bust
mess man in Illinois Which would you rather
do, make slaves of your family, or provide o COM

racer IL is a clear case that when Illinois voted
slave labor out of her limits, she voluntarily vot-

OF practical benevolence arrive, when we shalt
have done with this eternal empty profession Of
mock philanthropy, when it will not be called
emancipation to offer inducements to the slave
traders of the South to buy the negroes of Mis-
souri, and send them South 10 chain gangs"
SLAVERY IN BRAzIL.-A recent traveller in
Brazil says that slavery is doomed to Extinction
in that country. "The %effectual breaking up of the
African slave-trade is but the precursor of a more
important step. The demand for labor will be-
supplied by immigrants from Germany, Portugal,
the Azores, and Madeira, and the negroes will be
disposed of by a wise system of colonization"
SLAVERY IN CoNNEcTIcUT.--A gentleman writes
from Stonington, Ct, to the editor Of the ANTI
Slavery Standard as follows:
''There is here at present a mana native of
the place--from the sunny South who has
brought with him three live things two of them

4 Our telegraphic dispatches, published yesterday
morning, brought the news of the decease of the
Hon. William L. Marcy, ex-Secretary of State, etc.
His death was entirely unexpected, as, when last
seen, he was apparently in the enjoyment of excel
lent in fact, robust health, for OF his years.
But he was found dead in his room at Albany, NJ
Y, and probably expired from an attack of apoplexy
William L. Marcy was no ordinary man. There
was little in his characterize love, but much to admire
He was of a cold, phlegmatc temperament-th tho
roughly selfish and WIDELY careless of outside APP
pearances-and man who cared little for his own,
and less for peoples feelings and conveniences
He was the embodiment of "spoils" politician;
but, when actively aroused-when some great sub
ject claimed his attention--when some mighty
theme of international law stimulated his faculties to
their utmost tenson-he was giant of amplest mag
ntudc, the records of the State Department demon

WEBSTER he was the ablest incumbent of the Bureau
of Foreign Affairs the nation has had for the last thirty
years. Peace to his soul and honor to his memory

A SPIRITUAL IEvEsTIGATIoN.-It may be remem-
bered that some time ago the Boston Courier offered
reward of $500 to any spiritual medium who should
prove himself able to produce supernatural mani
festation under circumstances which should preclude
the possibility of deception imposition. The chal
enge was accepted by eight of the most celebrated
mediums in the North, and the experiments took
place under the supervision Of committee of scenti-
6c gentlemen The result was a failure, and the
Courier says: uw
The experiment was tried, and not one manfesta-
ton or phenomenon of the ordinary kind often
resembling them, was exhibited Or even attempted
Spirits were evoked and not replied. With ample
time and opportunity allowed, the strongest test
mediums to the number of eight, were collected
from all parts of the country. The apartments en-
ployed were selected by the spirituasts themselves
At their request, the meetings were deferred from
time to time in order to allow them to make every
| preparation and to enable the mediums to dfuse
favorable spiritual atmosphere throughout the rooms.
