"GoINo IN FOR RYNDERs."-The Columbia
Is. c. Times thus felicitates itself upon the ap-
pointmcnt Of Capt, Rynders as U. S. Marshal for
the Southern district Of New York:
"When it was fret announced that the famous
Capt. Rynders was appointed U. S. MAJ shall for
the District OF New York, we confess the news did
not affect us with remarkable pleasure. We were
one of those who distrusted the Captain on account
of some of his antecedents; but if no will but per
form what he promises, we declare ourselves his
fast friend forever. We see from the Mobile Tri-
June that the Black Republican papers don't like
the appointment of Rynders as L.. S. Marshal for
the New York District. Rynders Is a Jolly stout
fellow and has pluck, and knows the rascals
around him. He is Just the man for the Office
Suppose a fugitive from tho South arrives within
his bailiwick. Rynders will know it forthwith
The underground railroad IS not deep enough to
hide the dark doings of abolitionism from him
And having got the news, which will Ringers do.
Why, he'll take the fugitive into CUSTODY, and an
the powers of the Blacks won't prevail against
him. The knaves know this, and, therefore,, are
disconnected with the appointment. We so in for
Rynders."
We advise the shareholders not to calculate with
too much confidence upon the suterranean enter
prise of our new Marshal. The redoubtable Cap.
tain is used to ''grubbing under ground" but the
track of that mysterious railroad has bafied the
search of bloodhounds of keener scent than his
We perceive that he is beginning to exhibit a warm
interest in spiritualism. If he hopes to obtain
from the spirits of the departed the light that
shall guide him in the pursuit of the iugacious
chattels of his Southern friencs, we fear he may
be as much disappointed as was the Virginia slave,
hunter of whom we gave an account last week.

THE EMANCIPATION QUESTION.

Besides those which have been witnessed in the
recent Missouri elections, there are other impor-
tant indications of n restless state of public opin-
ion in the southern states in regard to the subject
which now underlies all political organizations.
The New Orleans Picdyune publishes the following
act as having been recently passed by the Louisi.
ana legislature, citing it az 1.-The strongest act''
which that body has ever passed.
ACT TO PRoHiBIr THE EMANCIPATION OF
S~LAvEs-Section /. Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of the state of Lou.
lisiana in general assembly convened, That from
and after the passage of this act, no slave shall be
enancipated in this state. Approved March t,
1857"
This arbitrary denial of the right of individuals
to renounce tho property in their fellow creatures
with which the customs of the slave states inves
them, is full of significance in two important re
spects. 1t implies, in the first place, that there
are persons in Louisiana who are uneasy in theiI
present relations to their bondmen, and are de-
sirous of qnieting their conscieRces by giving
these people their freedom. The disposition to d.
this is so strong, that the law is called in to re
press it. In the second place, the irksome and Sc
we're restraint. admitting of no exception. which i
imposes on the STAKEHOLDER, cannot be patientl,
borne for a long time. People will soon begin t.
ask why they should not dispose of their propert,
as they please. The enactment of such laws will
only hasten the time when the question of eman
cipation will be as freely discussed throughout tn,
South, as it is now discussed at St. Louis. Th,
more inconvenience the law connects with the in
stitution of slavery, the soOer it will DO abolished

CHANGED FRONT.

Ten years ago the Democracy of Ohio passed
the following Resolutions in their annual State
Convention. The Wilmot Proviso was then pend
ing. Since that time the Conventions of the party
have more than once reafirmed the same.
Resoired. Tha! the people of Ohio now as they
always have done, look upon the institution Of
Slavery as an evil, unfavorable to the full develop
ment of the spirit and practical benefits Of free
institutions, and that entertaining these sentiments.
they will feel 1t their duty to use all power consis-
tent with the national compact to prevent its
increase, to mitigate, and finally to eradicate the
evil.
Resolred, That the'provisions of the ordinance
of Congress of 1887, so far as the same relate to
slavery, should be extended to all territory Of tho
United States not yet organized into States. 'tI.
Resolved. That our Senators and Representatives
in Congress are hereby requested to vote againpt
the admission of any Statesinto the Union unless
slavery or involuntary servitude, except for crime,
be excluded In the Constitution thereof.
Just before the adjournment Of the late session
of the Legislature, these. Resolutions were copied,
and presented in both Houses. They were adopted;
the Republicans voting for them and every Demo-
crat present voting against them These resolutions
were originally designed and operated to induce
men of anti-slavery sympathies to remain in the
party and thus they were used from year 10
as an annual gull, securing ofttimes the as.
cendancy of the party, which having sue
ceeded gave its undivided influence in favor Of
Slavery extension. Now the Democrats arc above
board in their avowal of the principles Of slavery
extension. The passage Of those Resolutions By
the Republicans suggests another fact, via: That
very many of the best members Of their party
who now sustain the principles of these Resolu-
tons and pronounce them to be the -practicable
extreme of political action against slavery, utterly
refused to be satisfied with them as anti slavery
measures in lS47. While with the material abate-
ment of the las: Resolution they are entirely ,stis-
fed in 1857. The one class of persons have polit-
ically abandoned abJlitionism as then urged by
them /; while the other, have become tho unblush-
ing supporters of the extension az well as the per.
petuation of slavery so far us the action Of their
political party is concerned.

SUGcEsTIoN.--An Editorial in the last Anti -Sla-

the atheism of our government as exhibited in tho.

a short paragraph which puts the absurd denial,
SO prevalent every whore in the church as we'll az

AT the date of the census the slaves only formed
TWO and a half per cent. of the population of the
state, while free negroes were about twenty per
cent. The increase of free colored people in the
State has been from $500 in 1890, 1903 in 1850.
In effect, Delaware is now nealy as much q free
State as Now Jersey or Illinois. The anti-slaverv
sentiment has a strong hold upon the population.
AT the Presidential election last fall no less than
3O2 votes were polled in one county for the Repub.
lican electoral ticket. Had the State been
thoroughly organised by the Republicans, we
do not doubtthat they would have polled at least
oue-tbird of the whole vote cast. The census of
1860 will show a large decrease of the slaves. and
make more manifest the fact that Delaware has
ceased to be distinctly a slave State.-Nssouri

THE RlGHr KIND OF LAw.-IIenry B. Stanton,
Gerrit Smith, and Gen. James W. Nye recently nd
dressed the members of the New York Lecisls-
ture on the bred Scott case. They recommended
and urged more positive action than that proposed
by the Joint mmitt of the Legislature which
We published last week, General Nye was in
favor OF an net with two sections,-"Se Ist.
Every man in the State of New York is free. and
any man who shall attempt to prove the contrary
shall be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for lifo.
Sec. 2ad. This act shall take effect immediately.
The people present responded heartily to the
thorough propositions of the speakers, though
some of the Democratic Legislators pro.
nounced it treason, and proposed calling the
Speaker to account for permitting the Legislative
hall to be occupied for so unpatriotic q purpose.

EDUCATION IN VIRGINIA The Old School Pres.
hyterians have been trying to establish a synod.
cal School" for girls, in Richmond, Va. Educa.
tional movements at the Sou'h are generally an up-
hill business, and this appears to be no exception
to the rule. The Central Presbyterian gives this
doleful account of the enterprise:
w have frequent inquiries in regard to the
s%ynodical School in Richmond, some Of them from
other States, and have delayed answering them in
the hope that some cheering Intelligence could be
given. But we are now losing heart in regard tt
the scheme. The committee sent circulars al
over the State for subscriptions of stock, and Blu
two of these have been returned, and they from
the same congregation. This fact leads US TO be
lieve that we have mistaken the desire of the coun
try churches to have this school, although the ex
perience Of this winter has increasingly shown tc
US the Importance of such q school to these
churches, and tn injury that must ensue to then
from the want Of it. 1t is simply impossible for
the two churches in this city to do the work alone,
and it would be very unwise to start with a debt.
so that, unless some new manifestation of zeal
shall be made from abroad, we shall infer that the
churches do not want the school, and let it drop
The interests of education cannot be expected to
flourish in a State which rears a large proportion
of the children born within its limits for the mar

women for the crime () of teaching them to read
Church must that be which is at peace with such
iniquity-nay, which weaves apologies for it out

such a Church in the South? And yet such

The ONO Courts AND THE DRIED Scorr DrcIs-
IONA correspondent of the Pittsburg Gazette
writing from Man sfeld says IL learn from con-
Jfdcntioi sources that there is now pending in the
Supreme Court of Ohio, n case from Clermont
county, involving all the principal points of Judge
Taney's decision. This case will be decided in a
short time; in what way you can guess-four Of
the five Judges being radical Republicans. AN I
can say noe upon this point. is, look out for
Munder."
We don't apprehend any specially heavy thun-
der from our Supreme Court. True a majority Of
the Judges are Republicans, but they have been
wonderfully successful in doing nothing in the
way of "radicalism" since their election.

DELAWARE ALMOST A FREE STATE.

We notice that various newspapers north and
south are specializing upon the probable future, in
view of the rapid-decrease VI slavery in the Dor
der slave States. Little Delaware comes in for its
share of consideration under these circumstances
for 1t is so nearly a free State as to make it diff
cult to tell which section of the Union to rank il
with. The Buffalo Advertiser takes from the cen.
sus the folio King figures showing the Number OF
slaves in delaware at each decennial neriod.

"GooD LooKING."-We observe that almost all
the county papers we have received this week,
notice the arrival home OF Senators and Reprssen-
tatives, and every one we believe IS reported as
looking teN'-or better-'vemarkaJly reH."-
A comely body to look upon. must have been our
legislature when in session if the newspapers are,
not mistaken.
Without saying anything about the good looks
of our. reighbor Senator Cattell we can recommend
his brief rpeech which will be found on our frs.
page, as a model for Legislative speeches. 1t 10
pertinent, forcible, and embodies reasons which
should have secured the passage of a bill so just
in its provisions as the one it ~sustains bat it was
unfortunately defeated. Despite their good looks
our Legislators are not all in favor of equal and
exact justice, not even to their own mothers, sis
tiers, and wives. 1t is better to be accredited the
friends Of Justice, than sleek and comedy in per-

And now cometh into Court the above named

have the right to protest. they are not guilty OF
the same, not being in any manner recognized or

less for plea in this behalf. the said bodies so AS
aforesaid enormously indicted and compelled to

crued to the people of this State against them, for
this, to.wit: that the said bodies, 50, as aforesaid
indicted, are not persons capable OF committing
crime and of being tried therefor in this Court, but
are articles Of merchandise and mere property by
the supreme law of the land because they say
that they 'are Negroes of African descent, their
ancestors were of pure African blood, and were
brought into this country and sold as negro
slaves"
Therefore they pray judgement if the Court now
