We regret 20 observe q disposition in some qusr
ters 10 visit upon this class OF population the
punishment for sins Of which they are guiltlees
The rumors of instruction among the slaves
which recently bad great currency, are now very
generally believed TO have been destitute Of sill
foundation. letter from Williamsburg to the
Norfolk Argus expresses this opinion vita respect
to hst whole region Of country; and VIC convnsec
that such the fact with respect to the district
Of county above Richmond, with which we have
most personal acquaintance. In this last mentioned
section we do not believe the negroes were ever
better satisfied ard but for the tidgetty offcious.
OF our crazy Governor the idea Of any disturb
snees would never have occined W the brain of
white or black.
But the rumors did create some excitement among
various pcople-and a the slaves we're guiltess,
some would saddle the blame upon the free negroes.
This 10 most impoltic and unjust. The tree negroes
class, OF as individuals, are the last TO under
take any Insurrectonary enterprise. They have no
Involvement 10 do 80 on their own behalf; and they
have no sympathy for their coored brethren. the
slaves, nor are they the persons N be trusted by
them. In the Southampton outbreak no free negro
YVES implicated; nor have we ever heard that susp
cion Justly attached TO one in any Of the various in
surrcctions which, from time to time, have existed
in umOr.
We venture TO say thus much for a class who have
no onc-not even q master--to speak a word for
them. That they are not very profitable class
economically considered. may TIC conceded. but
some OF them useful laborcrs-and all of them
together give tie State one member OF Congress -
The least good they do considering the sort OF mem.

western Land soIcnl.t;.n


We clip the following from the Madi-
son Patriot-an article right to the point.
Our Eastern friends can keep M their
croaking until dooms-day, but thew will
be obliged to succumb.
"What is Western Land speculation
in realityf It is simply this one man
buys land st sl.25 per acre. and in the
course Of q year or two sells, at 81 so or
$500, and invests again further West.
The second purchases, makes some i'm
provement upon the land and sells for
5000 per acre. In the meantime some
other ''speculator" has built q mill near
oy and lays out village, and the third
purchaser sells the tract Of land of which
We have been speaking, at $50 or s25
per acre. In year or two a Railroad
comes along. which is built bv some
other ''speculators'' because it will pav
and the fourth buyer sells at s25 per acre.
to purchaser who wishes to put on inn
provements and occupy i himself. to
whom the said property will be worth
$50 per acre in few years.
Here are four men who have doubled
and treoled their money within a year or
two from the day of the investment, and
this is the simple history of land specula-
ton. in the fertile West. Mind You we
say fertile, for when the last man who
wants the land for farming purposes can
realize his II per cent. interest with the
chances in favor of its again doubling
itself in value, where, let US ask, is the
chances for ''crisis. crash %
The true secret of this croaking at the
East, is in the fact that thousands on
thousands are leaving the worn out lands
ofthe older States, and seeking the West,
where not only fertile lands can be bought
cheap, but where fortunes have been made
by thousands on thousands Of men of
small means. and where the same luck
awaits thousands on thousands more who
are on hand in season and when farming
will pay-all things considered-two
hundred per cent. better than in most of
the Eastern States. The Eastern Jour
mails know this, hence thir scarecrow
stories, of the dangers of the land invest
ments of the West"

mentioned Mr.. Hubbard was also q. S.

administration; but his residence has
always been in The pleasant village Of
Charlestovn, on the banks Of the Con-
necticut river, where he was born, and
the practice Of the law more
than iifty-years ago. His associations
were then and for some years afterwards
with the federal party, but about 1925
he enlisted under the democratic ban
ner, and remained not only true bot zeal
Gus in the cause to the close Of his ca
reer. He was q very successful prac-
titioner in the courts, a gentleman Of

SrRYcHSrNE IN WHrsKEY-The dam

the manufacture of whiskey, resorted to
because bushsl Of corn, from which,
by an honest distillation, about two and
a half gallons ARE extracted, is made to
yield four or Eve gallons by this means,
is attracting attention everywhere. and
stringent laws are demanded for public
