From the Richmond Examiner
NOIunt Q ~. EnsEaYemcnt Of Free Negroes.

DO many, even of the Virginia people,
know that their statute book contains law,
providing expressly, for any free negro's be-
coming Il slave if he chooses Both the law
and its cause, are curious.
The Virginia Legislature had repeatedly
been troubled with petitions from free pco-
pie of color. praying for special acts Qaws)
authorizing them to make themselves the
slaves of white persons whom they had cho
sen, or might choose, as owners. Petitions
from eight such were presented in the ses-
sion of 1856 from one resident of Culpeper
county, from five residents of Southampton,
and from two residents of Luncnburg Acts
were passed according to their prayers. But
as there seemed a likelihood of many more
such applications, the Legislature, to save
trouble, enacted also a general law, 'Jor
the voluntary enslarcmeat Of tie free ne
groes Of THIS Commonwealth" Sessions
Acts of 1856, p. 81. BY it,
Any free colored person, resident in Viz
ginia, aged Is if a female, or 3 if male,
may choose master, thus may file a pc
tition in the Circuit Court Of the county,
signed in the presence of two or more sub
scribing witnesses, stating his desire to
choose an owner, and the wished for owner
name. A notice that it has been filed is to
be posted at the Court House door for one
month and both the petitioner and the de-
sgnated owner are to be summoned to APP
pear at the next term Of the Court. On
their appearance the Court shalt examine
each separately, and such other persons as it
sees fit to examine. At such examination
the Commonwealth Attorney shall be pre-
sent, and see that it is properly conducted
and that no injustice is done to the petitioner
If the Court be satisfied there is 10 fraud
or collision between the parties, and no good
reason to the contrary, it may grant the
prayer And then it shall ascertain what
would be the petitioners value if slave, of
which if the chosen master pay one-half into
Court, (to go into the public treasury, and
/ give bond with good security, that the ne
gro shall not become chargcable to any coun-
ty or corporation in the State; such valua-
ton, payment and bond shall be entered on
record and from the time of such entry,
the property in him, as slave, shall vest in
that master, whose rights aud liabilities, and
the petitioners condition, shall be in all re-
spects as though lie lad been born slave.
But if the person SO ensavea be q female.
her children, born prior to that term of the
Court, shall not be thereby enslavod. {Clau-
ses in the Code Of Virginia provide, that
words denoting tie masculine gender, may
include also the feminine, and that the word
negro shall include mplaao)
j That such law as the one here abridged
should be called for proclaims more elo-
anentl5 than all the replies to Uncle Toms
Cabin can proclaim lie case, comfort and
/ desirableness e slavery, as it exists in Eir-
gnia, compared with freenegroism.

Dccay Of black RepuEiicanism,

Every day brings us additional evidence
Of tie decay Of blnck republeanism. Like
every cause having It's origin ia fraud and
deception, or moral and political error, that
OF these political agitator5 must ultimately
sink to rise no more. The people are learn
ing the truth, and their case is waning I'M
der the ban of the people. City after city
has given It's verdict against them Con-
ncetieut, so strongly with them few months
since. las written her condemnation of their
principles and practices. In Michigan thou
sands have deserted their standard, and the
democracy viii soon fully triumph in that
Stete. Iowa, upon the borders Of bleed
ing Kansas" the electors in which must
personally know what has occurred, in ihat
Territory, has abandoned black republican
ism, and al other isms, and manfally wheel
ed into the democratic lines again. The
administration lias there achieved most
noble triumph. The black republicans no.
where increase their vote or win new ma
jorities. That party rose upon false and
rotten basis, and must from necessity fall
when the reo9le understand the foundation
upon which it stands. Decay is legibly
written upon it. Such is ever the fate Of
error, falsehood, and deception The black
republican leaders feel this, and hence are
writing in agony at their future prospects.
If Kansas cannot BE- induced to commit
some suicidal act for their benefit, they have
no hopes for the future. We suspect Kan
sas has suffered too much already on their
account to become willing victim to fur
Their their political operations. Her pros
pority has been sadly retarded, and the
happiness Of her people too greatly dimin-
ished By following the counsels of political
fanatics and dcmagogucs to readily yield
again to their selfish and bad advice. If
Kansas, By self-immolation, does not sun-
ply fresh materials for agitation, black re-
publieanism will soon die natural DEATH

Vote the Entire Ticket from Congress-
men Down.

Such is the injunction Of the Spectator, IN
It's last issue, to Ike faithful followers of
Sam in this county. We do not know
which to admire most, the eomplacency with
which our neighbor boasts of their l; 100
majority in 1855, or their GOODNESS in set
ting the triggers to beat honest John Lctch-
er. Our admiration is intense, and would
be exceedingly pleasing, but for the nervous
agitation which they display in their tall
cised appeal to the faithful, to "uote the en-
tire ticket from Congressmen dorm" Is it
possible that our ono party, Wing. Amcri-
can, Distribution" friends of the Spectator
are determined to immediate JoHN LErcHrK :?
And why? Can it be because he is oppos-
ed To the iaad saetndles which were passed
by Congress, and for the passage of which
the Spectator denounced Congress ? We
can hardly think so-if for 10 other reason,
because the Hon. 4. II. II. STUART, now the
Spectators candidate for State Senator from
Augusta, whilst Secretary of the Interior,
sanctioned and submitted reports recommcn-
ding grants Of the public domain to Rail-
roads in the new States, and Willard Fill
more, late candidate of the Spectator for the
Presidency, signed those bills making such
grants.
If this is not the reason of the Spcctutoy's
opposition to LETcuER, it can be ascribcd to
but one other cause, viz: the fear that the
''1100 majority exists now, only as a me,r-
Dry of the past
The Spectator has charged the Democracy
with boastfpl spirit in this canvass Well,
if you have 100 majority, you can afford
10 allow us the poor privilege of Dragging a
little before the election, without indnlgirg
in such bitter and lachrylnose appeals to
your party as the one hundred "Laborers
wanted. But seriously, we assure the
Spectator it is not our intention to "howl
with. delight over the misfortune which is
impending over them. We only mean that
the Democrats, old line Wings and Ameri-
cans, who unite in the election Of aur gal
liant ticket, shall unite heartily, but with
moderation, in rejoicing over the triumph o.
genuine Americanism over the spurious ar
tielc retaled at the Spectator offcc.

0utrages Committed by the Mormons.

The Washington correspondent of the New
ork Times communicates some interesting
news from Salt Lake City. We copy the
following statement of alleged outrages per-
petrated by Mormons against those whom
they look upon as unfriendly to them;
Numbers of houses had been torn down,
and their occupants thus turned out into the
open air to suffer the rigors of the past Sc
we're winter Among these sufferers was one
poor woman who was entirely without pro-
tector, with three little children, one of them
nursing infant. The houses occupied by
Judge Stiles and Thomas S. Williams were
also destroyed by incendiarism. Mr. Stiles
is the only federal judge remaining in the
territory, and Mr.. Williams lawyer, who
had incurred the dispeasure of the heads Of
the Mormon Church by his manly indepen-
dencc.
There have been threats of late to MUIR
der the surveyor general, Judge Stiles, and
the United States Indian agent, the only
acting United States officers remaining in
the territory, and their position had become
SO precarious, at last accounts, that, in all
probability, they are now on their way to
the States.

Responses TO the Inaugural-The True
Distribution q Humbug,

Notwithstanding all the X. n press may
say, the true issue in tie present canvass, is
the success of Mr.. Buchanan's ad;ninistra-
ton. All that these fdctionists (for they
deserve no better nancy can accomplish,
will be done to defeat and embarrass it
The subject of the Distribution Of the Pub
lie Lands is only introduced to embarrass
the Democratic party, and rally the cohorts
of the opposition. 1t is known to these adj
yocates of Distribution that Mr.. Buchanan
will VETO any bill that has for its object the
Distribution of the Proceeds of the Public
Lands, or the Public Lands themselves. -
The Inaugural Address has foreshadowed
she policy of the administration on this sub
ject and the responses to that Inaugural,
as they come to us in the result Of elections
recently held, clearly show that the admin
istration will be sustained. In Iowa, where
Black Republicanism was rampant but a
few months ago, and which State gave a
large majority against Mr.. Buchanan, the
elections recently held show that ii has re-
pudiatcd Know Nothingism and Black Re-
publcansm, and taken position again in
the Democratic line--the whole Democratic
ticket being elected by from tteo to three
thousand MAJORITY. In York, (Pa,) a De-
mocratic Mayor has been elected, which is
the first within the last FORTY years. In
2hiladelphia Know Nothingism has been
rebuked, and Black Republicanism pros
trated in the recent charter elections in that
city the Democrats electing 20 Of their
members out of the a wards of that city.
In Michigan the vote east at the recent jul
dicial election shows large Democratic gains
the Democrats gaining in every county
except four--a nett gain Of I ,96i is report
cd in twenty-eight counties, ever the last
Presidential election. This is glorious
result, and as cheering as it is glorious

Majority in Next Legislature.

Should we elect the ticket put forth here
in Richmond, its deplorable feebleness would
prevent it from making any impression on
the Dominant party. Indeed, the aaajority

over it rough shod, for portion of the gen

intellect, and have not the capacity to cope
with men. '---Richmoaa Wing.
