Goysrnor GeaTy Once AoTe.
IF any pro-sIavery man doubted here
tofore that Gov. Geary had sold cut hool
and line" TO the Black Republican or abo-
lition, or rebel party of the Territory. The
last Herald Of Freedom surely will aisPsl
the delusion.
We there find him The very head and
front Of all their projects for building sai-
versities, sc. the very warp ana
filing" of every abolition letter and edi-
,orial. We find him remittiag fega!
sentences, and intimatons or avowais ''ihai
had he not 9one so, tie whole abolition
party would have been in arms"
Well. we will say no more bat we do
think that if our Soulkern friends permit
this mans retention in power here, they
deserve all tie kicks and cuffs the aooli-
tionis,s desire to give them. We give be-
low one or two extracts from the Herald
of Freedom, as evidence for whatwe state.

Tor n appropriation of land, for the pur-
pose OF endowillg ard sustaining unlsef-
sity and other Institutions OF learning II

now appointed to fnemoritlize Congress on
the subject.
Reso!ued, That a portion of the funds
30 generously contributed by the people OF

iahorer, than by using them all as direct
CHARITY.

WHEN i, was reported that our noble
defenders captured by the United S;stes
troops at Hickory Point-hed been SEN
fenced By the infamous Lecoatgte, 10 . long
imprisonment at hard labor, with a ball
and chain fastened to them, a general feel
ing of resistance ran through the free State
ranks, and there was a determination &c
revenge their wrongs. Had the chains
been applied, in all probability, before this
time, every free State man in the Terrific.
ry would have been in arms, demanding
OF violently attempting their release. Bu
the Executive saved sll this, hy RENTING
that part of their punishment, and also oJ
putting over them gentleman OF enlarg
ed and humane sentiments.
