From the Erie True American
WHEREIN OUR STRENGTH LIETH.

The anti-slavery sentiment of the North poses
see the elements of strength and permanently.
1t did not spring into existence upon the question
the public treasury shall fatten on adval-
orem or specific duties, or whether Government
shall or shall not resolve itself into q understanding
and rag money manufacturing concern. 1t was
prompted into life by higher and nobler motives.
Ab0litionism is the cause of the protection of hu-
man rights. No law or constitution, while God
lives, can annul those rights. All forms of law.
and all species Of constitution, that aim to do this,
are counterfeit and void, aud ft only to be cast
out and trodden under foot of men,, No other pc
sition is true no other assumption means any
thing. .lsae
The true anti-slavery party proposes the mora
and political redemption Of the American people
by means of free schools, free presses, free pulpiti
aud free ballot boxes. The intelligent American
mind instinctively hates oppression. 1t is begin
ming to recognize the great law that does not per
nit even the humblest man to suffer wrong with
out affecting the welfare of the highest. Thor
oughly awake to this truth, not all the thunder o
subsidized presses and corrupt Judiciaries cal
brighten it into submission to the DEGREES of slave
breeding Courts and legislatures. 1t seems nov
thoroughly awakened to he danger of %inaction.
The man who characterizes the Just indignation
OF the Northern masses against the unparallele'
wickedness of the falsely-called Democracy as tn
ally of the South and TIE champion of Slavery a

man knows nothing Of the integrity of the peopl
from whose hard earnings he wrings the wealt

ing heart is Il sealed book he can not comprehen
how any soul is moved by principle--nor how an
man can consent to become physically wretche
for the sake of the truth. lie has never p~erforme
a disinterested action and cannot believe that an
other man is capable Of performing one.
Deep down in Humanity's great heart of heart
beyond the ken of knaves and time-servers, spring
the fountain of our principles. In Heavens, greG
regard for man, it implanted the anti-slavery gerr
in every sentient soul. 1t is that which prompt
the espousal of the cause of the weak against th
mighty. Were it the only virtue of the huma
soul, man would still be godlike, and entitled t
divine charity. Its every exercise adds q cubit t
the moral stature of man. Herein our strengt

is a work of redemption and rescue, OF christian
ty and civilization, of terror to a nation of ma

and universal liberty-and "by this we sonquer.

and who the Clarke" is, whose name was sign
ed to the notice, has not yet transpired. Some Of
has set several of the officers on their tips.
There is little doubt that Jim" has merely ex-
ercised his own Judgment about remaining with
his master any longer, and took this opportunity
to betake himself to freedom. 1t is assumed that
he was to precede his master TO Walnut street
wharf with The baggage !. but, singular enough to
say, no complaint has been made about the bag
gage being missed, simply the two tin boxes, aud
particularly the one containing money. This is
doubtless a ruSe to engage the services of the Phil
adelphia Police 10 the interesting game Of Niger
hunting. Mr.. Parlange, il he is sojourning in
your city, will doubtless be glad to learn that the
matter Of his man "Jim" and The two tin boxes
have received ample publicity.

ANOTHER SLAVE HUNT IN PHILADEL-

PHILADELrHIA, Monday, July 27, 1857.

THE following letter we find in the Neio York
Times of Wednesday. We trust Jim" is safe
from his pursuers.
PHILADELPHIA, Monday, July 81, 1857.
Yesterday afternoon q rum0ur was afoat that q
negro man named Jim, who had accompanied his
master (Mr. Charles Parlange) from New Orleans
to this city, had left his master for the purpose OF
tasting the sweets of freedom. 1t was alleged by
Mr.. Parlange that the said Jim" had taken with
him two tin boxes, one of which contained money.
Mr.. Parlange went on his way TO New York uia
the Camden and Amboy Railroad, and upon his
arrival at the Walnut street wharf with two ladies,
Jim" was missing. Mr.. Parlange Immediately
made application to n Mr.. Wallace, who is a Police
officer stationed at the Walnut street Depot. Mr..
Wallace got into a carriage with Mr.. Parlange
the two ladies, and, as Mr.. Wallace stated,
drove back to the Girard House, where Jim" had
not been heard of since he had left for the Walnut
street wharf. A story was then set ahoat to the
effect that a negro Of a certain but very particular
description (such as Louisiana Niger drivers only
can give) had stolen two boxes as stated above. A
notice signed CLARKE" was received at the Police
Telegraph Office by the operator david Wunder
lyl containing a full description of Jim, also offer
ing a reward of 500 for his capture. This notice
was telegraphed TO all the Wards in every section
This morning Mr.. Wunderly found fault with tn,
reporters using the information, and, in presenc,
of some four or five persons, said the notice sign
ed 'Clarke" was q private paper and no reporte
had a right TO look at ii, at the same time asserting
that if he knew where the niger was he woul'
give him M, as 500 did not come along every day
The Policeman Wallace expressed the utmost fea
for the name of Mr.. Parlange Transporting. an,
stated that he was an intimate friend OF his. !
does not seem that the matter was communicate

The RADICAL ADoLITIoNIsT quotes an extract
from the Bug1e, giving the facts relative to the
present subject condition of Ohio under Judge
Leavitt's decision and proceeds to say:
From this, the 'Bugle' proceeds to argue the
necessity of a dissolution Of the Union, We see
in it an argument for the national abolition Of
slavery. 1t is Slavery, not the Union, that does
the mischief. 1t is abolition, not disunion, that
the slave wants-that humanity demands. 1t is
the "deliverance of the oppressed" that God, and
Nature, and the Bible demand at our hands-not
their delivery into the hands of their tyrants, either
by the Judge Leavitt' process, nor by that OF
hands otf-let the two races fight it OUT"
To this we reply that it is Slavery through the
Union which does the mischief. That as Slavery
is a stupendous crime and the Union an Infamous
contract to maintain it, they should be alike over
thrown, 1--WE speak of the existing Union, such rs
the nation theoretically and practically maintains
and not OF a fanciful, righteous Union for liber
ty, which the 4JoIitioniSt says was intended aud OF
right ought to exist)-It is abolition end diSuRioH
the slave wants, 50 long as the Union is as it s,the
means of holding him in his bonds.-The slave is
delivered into, and held in the hands of his op.
pressor by means Of the Union. 1t retains Leavit;
and Mclean and Kane and fancy in Office for this
very purpose, and God, Nature, the Bible" and
the Slave, demand, "hands off, of the confedcr
ates and abettors Of this oppression, as the very
first step for the deliverance of the wronged. That
kind of "hands OFF, can't be tortured into any sort
of delivery of the oppressed into the hands of tho
oppressor.

ALTON, is put by the Kansas News. We commend
it to the attention Of all. especially to those oppo
nents of Slavery who content themselves with
efforts for its restriction to its present limits. Says
the News, most truly :-"Slavery is an inexorable
master and proceeds logically to the consumma-
ton of its purpose. 1t allows no compromise, and
those who do not endorse its policy to the fullest
extent, are counted among its enemies. Would it
not be well for the friends of Freedom to learn
from their opponent, and while allowing perfect
federation, reduce the contest to a struggle between
the absolute right and the absolute wrong 2"

les REGARDING PRISONS AND
REFORMATORIES.

The following Questions were handed by Math-
CIV Davenport Hill, the Recorder Of Birmingham,
to an American friend, well acquainted with the
Prisons of the United States. They have howev-
or, been found too multifarious to be adequately
answered by any one person moreover it is desi~
rable to obtain opinions from a variety of sources.
The questions therefore will be circulated through
the United States, in the hope that many who
take a benevolent interest in the subjects of them
will kindly aid by contributing acknowledgement
replying to such queries as circumstance may
have enabled him to answer.

Circular, with the request for its publication. We
comply with the request with much pleasure espec-
ALLY as the citizens Of Ohio now have their atten-

successful operation.

IMPORTATION OF NEGROES.

The laws of Congress carrying out the power
given to Congress by the Constitution, prohibit the
African slave trade, and make that trade piracy.
But if importing negroes as omigrants from Africa
is not the slave trade, then the laws of Congress
do not apply to it. We suppose emigrants from
Africa may just as legitimately be brought into
the United States as emigrants from Germany or
Ireland. Nor will the circumstance of an agree.
ment being previously made Tor employment and
wages, at all affect the legality of the importation.
Hundreds, thousands, are being imported daily
from Europe under agreements with the manufac-
turers of New England, to carry on their factories.
If the government Of the United States shall, there
fore, determine that the importations OF negroes
from the African coast, Sy England and France,
as emigrants into the West India Islands, is not
the African slave trade, then the whole trade of
bringing negroes from Africa is also open to the
Southern States. What becomes Of the negroes
after they are imported into a State, will be an at.
fair of the State. The General Government can
have nothing to do with 1t. The enforcement of
any contract for wages will be entirely within the
jurisdiction of the courts of the State. And if
public opinion, or the real understanding of the
emigrants, establishes practically that they shall
be slaves, there is no redress by any other authori-
ty than that Of the States in which they are located.
So reason Southern Slave Traders.

FREED AT LAsT.-The Kentucky fugitive, who
some weeks since was shot in Cincinnati, after Sc
riously wounding the Marshal who was endeavor-
ing to arrest him, has since died of his wounds,
at Cynthiaua, Kentucky, where he had been car
ried from Covington. The ball it was found had
passed through his stomach, and entered his
lung. Thus the great emancipator, Death has
relieved him, from his toll and his bonds. His
wife who was the companion of his flight, is still
grinding in the prison house Of slavery. Instead
of receiving consolation in her bereavement, hel
bondage is doubtless made more rigorous. for hcl
objectionable offence of loving and seekin.

KANSAS AFFAIRs.-Accounts from Lawrence to
the 9th all represent the City Government in sue
cessful operation. A Correspondent Of the 9th
says;
1t has been resolved by the people of Lawrence
that nC notice whatever should be taken of the
governor, and no propositions of any kind reciev.
ed from him until he should withdraw the troops
from the neiGhborbood of the city. 1t is deemed
vi Unworthy of American citizens, they say, to ne
gotiate with u person who has insulted them, I'M
til he apologies for his conduct, and shows, by
sending his soldiers away, that he has no desire to
.overawe them. So no notice has been taken of
Walker from that time till now. The
troops are encamped beyond the western bOunda-
ry of the city, and there Governor Walker re.
mains, like Achilles in his tent, d--g the incip.
lent insurrection," d-g the free state leaders,

particular.

of the country. A very unfortunate fact as il
seems to us for ~demagogues South and North
whose staple article in trade is the destruction
and salvation of the Union. The National Era,
too, Notwithstanding the salvation which has been
accomplished by the railroads, is addressing itself
with great vigor to this work. For the last three

A MORTAL OFFENCE AGAINST DEMocRAcY.-The
Democratic New Lisbon Patriot takes the Ohio
State Journal to task for uttering tho palpable
truths contained in the following sentence
eve believe the negro is human-he has a
soul y has an intellect-and so far as Tie right
of Suffrage, or any other right is concerned
he should be placed on an EQUALITY
with the rest of mankind"
The Ptriot represents that the Republican
party is to base its action on this principle. We
hope it may. 1t will then deserve the respect and
support of honest men. But we see no evidence
that it intends to do any such thing, 1t claims to
be the white Mans Party" and we presume has
no intention of giving the elective franchise to
colored men though there are numerous repub.
licans in the party who are desire us of doing SO
plain an act of justice Notwithstanding the sneers
Of sham Democrats. But our Democrats who de.
side upon a mans rights by his complexion, may
rest quiet. They have the sympathy, in their
negro hatred, of a majority of the Republicans, as
was proved by the action of their representatives
in the last Legislature. They then refused to take
the needful preliminary steps to alter the Constitu
ton so as to make it thus consistently Democratic
