THE STATESMAN THREE SLAVES.

The Statesman Of this morning was unusually
peIulant and i-natuted The official vote Of the
State does not please it. ard our remark the other
day that ''thc law OF Connecticut which debars
ignorance from the hallUt-bOx and draws to it tho
Intelligence Of the State" was good law it pro-
nonncos rank hcresy, and goes off in nearly
column OF "highty-ughty" eluguence, about cur
wishing to deprive pnor white men Of their votes.
The only thing that gives the Statesman the least
satisfaction, is the fact that Mississippi slave
holder brought three slaves with him to this State,
stopped all day with them in this city and depart.
ed ON Monday with them to Washington without
m"iestalion from which we may infer that the
Statesman Is in favor oi permitting slaves to he
brought 10, and taken FROM the State, whenever it
suits the cuuvcnience or their masters to bring
them hero. The Constitution OF Ohio SAYS There
shall lie 10 Slavery in this STATE. nor Involuntary
Scrviude, unless for the punishment Of crime"
And yet there was Slavery in the State aud in this
city last Sunday, and involuntary servitude, and
the Statesman rcioices at it. The next thing
we shall hear Of its defending the right of a slave
trader tc hring this cofled gang from Maryland
and Virginia through Ohio as the most convenient
route hy which he can reach the slave marts of
Natchcz aud New Orleans. If the STAKEHOLDER
can bring his slaves through our State in defiance
of the Constitution and laws, why not the slave
trader? And If Mr.. Lake, NJ. C. from Mississippi,
can keep his slaves here from Saturday until Mon.
day, why can't he keep them here whole month,
or year, or forever?

q CONFESSION.

The Baltimore American, in the course of an ar.
ticIe on slave instructions, makes the following
confession:
Though Abolitonists may disguise the fact the
general current of legislation at the South for
years past has been in favor of the slave. His
rights have zen more Looked after, his person bet
ter protected. and when the ends have not been
sought hy positive enactment the gradual but
firm influence Of the moial sentiment Of the peo-
ple has tended practically TO the most beneficial
amelioratou of his condition."
Then Of course the assertion that the agitation
of the suffice of slavery by the Abulitiunists had
tiShtened the chains and aggravated the hardships
of the slave, is all false. This charge has been
reiterated by clTgymen and laymen, by saints and
sinners by politicians aud demngogues for the last
twenty years The changes have teen rung upon
1t Ia every note in the gnmmut. Ii has done more
probably than any other ialsehoUd t. confirm
prejudice and destroy sympathy for the slave.-
Aud Yet by the testimony of Southern paper,
certainly an unoxceptonihle witness it is wholly
false. The condition Of the slave has Leen con.
stanuy improving.
Were the date Of the commencement Of this i'm.
pruyement sought, it would be found, we doubt
not, To be cOeval with tho beginning Of the anti
slavery agitation. The one is the of the
uther. By that agitation the stakeholder was put
on his good behaviour, He knew full we'll that
every ou rtgeuus enactment every umereful fog
ging every murder inflicted slave. so
much added to the thunder nf the Northern A boz
IiioniSts. They ,rrnigned the institution Of sla-
very before the bar of The public opinion Of the
civilized world and the stakeholder felt that 10
avoid an utter and crushing verdict against h 10
peculiar system, he must least give IL the SEM
Olance of Justice, mercy and decency. Hence, al
though individual outrages on slaves by men who
fear not God, nor regard man. have been fire.
quent, the improvement in the general condition Of
the negro has been steady.

form, but he felt an inward pride in
her manner. Her education was not
completed he felt, but she was far
enough advanced to make the best OF
all she had learned. She could con-
verse with ease on literary topics, and
was no longer ignorant Of the manner
in which the cities of the old world were
buried, nor why the ruirs Of ancient
temples and statuary SO interested the
traveller. In short, even her husband
was astonshed at the amount Of infor-
nation she had acquired in this space
Of time, and yet his surprise was slight
compared with the wonder of those who
knew her before she became his wife.
All remarked how serious and womanly
she had grown, but her correct manner
of speaking they could not account for.
One day the lawyer was sitting in
his Office alone, when the door opened,
and in walked his friend Calvin Eaton.
There was roguish smile about his
mouth, and Edward thought in a mo-
ment that he had discovered his secret,
but he said nothing to enlighten either
Calvin or himself. elbow are you,
Ned p said Mr.. Eaton, giving him a
familiar slap upon the shoulder
"What do you think Of educating wo-
men now, eh p And the friend broke
into a hearty laugh, and then continued,
"You might as we'll own it, old boy,
for I hare found it all out. Country
folks are not very good hands at keep,
ing secrets-ha, Ia, ha! Pretty good
idea that was-country air."
The lawyer tried to frown little at
first, but when he found that MIR. Eaton
had learned Of his employing teachers,
he gave it up and joined in the laugh,
saying that when he spent but little
time in female society, he did not real
ize any inconvenience from a lack Of
education in women, for the contrast
amused rather than annoyed him but
he acknowledged that Calvin was right
in saying that when he came to choose
a life partner to share his home and
clothe it with honor, he would desire
his wife to be familiar with the subjects
on which he loved to converse /; and
that no amount of beauty or superficial
accomplishments could compensate for
the loss Of respect which the educated
Or superior one would feel for the in
ferior.
