The ELECTION IN KENTUCKY.-The Democrats
have made a pretty clean sweep in Kentucky, hay-
ing elected eight certain ard probably nine of the
ten Congressmen; a majority of the Legislature,
aud State Treasurer. This result also secures the
election Of II Democratic United States Senator in
place of Hon. John B. Thompson The Know
Nothing party is thus completely discomfitted in
that State, and in order to battle the Democracy,
hereafter, with any prospectof success there must
be a different organization ana a new issue.
ANOTHER MANUMIssIoN-FoUR MISSISSIPPI
SLAVES LlBERArED.-Chas. a Locost, of Natchez,
Miss, by John uagarty, his attorney, yesterday
manumitted in the Probate Court, four slavesJames,
Heloise, Caroline, and Abraham Berthe, aged re-
spectively twenty, thirteen, eleven, twenty'seven
wears. They were all mulatoes, and had evident

groes emancipated here, more OF the Anglo Saxon
than African blood in their veins, The kind of
benevolence which gives the slaves freedom is no
mystery.-Cp. Gag. aug. q.
NEGROES TOO EXPENSIVE TO BE HUNG.-The
Charleston Courier mentions several curious facts
in relation TO the administration of penal law in
South Carolina. 1t says that a negro killing Il ne
gro is less liable to capital punishment than a white
man who has killed a white man, and that a white
man killing a negro is more liable TO punishment
thar one who has killed a white man. The COur-
Ter ascribes these facts to mercy towards the negro,
discriminating in his favor IN preference to the
white. Nonsense! it is the commercial value of
the negro. IL is hard for q Southern Judge and
Jury to order the annihilation of a thousand dol
lars of capital by stringing up a negro cul prit.
That is the extent of the mercy to tho negro, The
necks of white murderers are not SO valuable

The New York Observer, of the 10th inst,
speaks in the following pharisaical language Of
Henry Ward Beecher and DR.. Cheever
IF the orthodox clergy Of our Churches choose
to Eold communion with such abusers of the pull
pit and accuscrs of Christians, they are certainly
welcome to their choice. 1t is quite another ques-
ton Does Christ have fellowship with them ?"
A SLAvEHoLDING PASTOR IN PHILADELPuIA.-
The minister chosen to succeed the Rev. Dudley
A. Tying as Rector of the Church of the Epiphany
in Philadelphia is the Rev. w. o. Prentiss, from
COlleton District, South Carolina. He is said to
be largely interested in the peculiar institntion,"
having property in 200 slaves, who will be left to
work for him on the plantation while he goes to
preach q cotton gospel to q fashionable and veal
thy congregation in Philadelphia. The Colleton
District, whence Mr.. Prentiss comas and where
his miserable chattels will remain, contained, ac-
cording to the last census, LII slaves, and 7,4O3
whites. Among the white adults arc 72S who can
neither read nor write.
Is it not a shame that this ordained man-stealer
is to be welcomed as q minister Of Christ in the
city of Penn, as the successor of one who was ex-
cluded from the pulpit for preaching against slave.
~? What must be the state of public opinion in
that city when an event SO disgraceful calls forth
no remonstrance save from q handful of persons
who are themselves denounced as fanatics and dis
turbers of the peace? If the churches of that
city we're not devoured of Slavery and Mammon,
they would cry shame upon tho parish which TINS
