A mulatto slaye named John Massenbur,

A mulatto slave named John Massenburg put
out from Petersburg, Va, lately, aud, with the
assistance of some Abolition scoSndrel," says
The Daily Express of Petersburg, found his way to
Wheeling. His owners, McEnery & MCal-
locb teleeraphed to Wheeling, describing him and
Offering 5000 for bis apprehension, but to no pur.
pose; for, says The Express,
"Thls dispatch arrived too late, as the parties had
fu time TO have passed into Ohio or Pennsyva-
mia. where neither law nor lucre would have proved
efficient for their apprehension. This Is but another
ip.tapce of Northern honesty and Yankee influence,
Which supdry nobbish ackanspes, interested doubt
ss persist in screening to the defense OF the thevish
tr;ciipg. detestsble Yankee character"
We must consider the above very liberal al.
Cvance Of vituperatiOn for the slender substratam
Of fact; and we are sorry to add that it does more
than Justice TO the Yankee character. There are
Yankees good many Of them-who would scOrn
to earn the dirty dollars Of the shareholders by
catching their runaway ehattels; but there are
others among them ~ base that they will, for the
chance Of fat Office, even uphold Fugitive Slave
Laws and bred Scott decisions. We are happy to
add, however, that this breed Of Yankees is fast
running out.

Washington advices aver that CHARLES MASON
has resigned the Office of Commissioner of Patents,
and only holds it till his successor can be desig.
mated. We regret this. Judge Mason was twenty
years since young lawyer in this City, and as ar
dent Democrat as could anywhere be found. He
changed bis location but not his politics, and was
Just such Democrat in Iowa as he had been in
New.York. As such, President Pierce made him
Commissioner of Patents, and he made few better
appointments. We hoped to find his case an ex-
ception to Mr.. Bucbanans general rale Of rotation
in Office, but it seems that he is averse to turning
outsubordinstes in bis department. whom he knows
to be capable and worthy, to make room for aspir.
ants of whose fitness be knows nothing But places
must be had, and the Patent Office is called on to
supply its quota, to which Judge Mason demurs
and resigns We have no sympathy with his poll
tics, for he ought to be a Republican, as most of
bis old Radical associates now are; but we do not
believe as good man for the work will replace
him.

A new Congress is soon to assemble, and the
newspapers already TEEN with demonstrations Of
the necessity Of new lines Of Ocean Mail Steamers
under liberal patronage from the Treasury. We
notice these feelers only to insist on two points:
/. That each contract shall be publicly advertised
and let to the lowest responsible bidder; 2. That
the convenience Of the public and the efficiency OF
the service be alone regarded in locating the ter
mini of each Ocean Mail route. On these condi-
tons, we regard the expansion Of our Ocean Mail
sy.tem with favor; otherwise We are utterly aver'e
to it. And we insist that an Overland Mail service
Of the frat order be secured before another dollar
il voted to open new Mail. routes TO the Pacific.

PIRATE remarks were made by number OF GIBBONS
during the absence of the Business Conmi'see'
which, on its return, reported series Of forcoie
resolves which were unanimously passed. Inc
truth. they set forth are so manifest that few or
rone out of the infected district, will demur 70
them. We cannot make room for the whole, but
give the following as the most material, with our
hearty assent to the whole:

thieves and all other criminals shall be made suolec,
TO the punishment due to their crimes, when nlcteo
under The sanction of the law cannot sanction, but

prevailed with the French Government that the
experiment now TO be tried, and which was the
occasion Of Lord Broughan's motion, is to be
limited, nominally, at least to free men
who may be induced to emigrate volun'
tsrily. Authority, it would appear, has been
given TO French mercantile firm on the Gold
Coast to transport q certain number Of Africans
to Cayenne on terms which, if they are really car
red out, and the emigration is in fact voluntary,
would appear unobjectionAble. According to the
placard Of these French undertakers, distributed
extensively at Sierra Leone, and addressed appa-
rently to the Kroomen, the laboreu are to be pro-
vided with clothes, proper food, medicines aud
medical attendance during the voyage, with Ger
tain quantity Of water for each man, and on arriv.
ing in the colonies are to be employed for six
years at stated wages and at the end OF that Pc
rod are to be sent back to their homes free OF ex'
pense, unless they prefer to resngage tor new
term. II the French Government goes no further
than this, the proceeding will be apt to prove harm
less enough; but the supply Of laborers 80 to DO
obtained is not likely to be very large.
We do not altogether share the opinion expressed
by Lord Experimentation sincerely, or only for
his purposes as an advocate, it is unnecessary to
determiDe-that it is impossible to suppose that
Louis Napoleon can be willing to resstablish Sla-
very and the slave trade On the other hand, we
should set him down as precisely the man to do it,
could be see any object to be served by it. AT the
same time, he is not the man to damage his repu'
tation by setting the moral sentiment Of the world
at defiance, merely for the benefit of few tropical
spectators. The interest of France in tropical
cultivation is too small to make her course in this
matter Of any considerable consequence, except a.
other nations may attempt to avail themselves OF
Der example, and to walk in her footsteps. In tho
course Of the debate, Lord Brougham called atten.
ton to the proposal, some time since made BY The
Charleston Mercury to get rid Of our United
States statutes prohibiting the African slave trade,
by resumng the importation of African slaves under
the name and character Of free abOrers. 1t is not
any extensive revival Of the slave trade under the
French flag that is to be dreaded, so much as a
bad example on the part of France which other
more enterprisng adventures might be apt to press
to deplOrable results.

The fact that Gov. Walker had threatened to
prevent by military force, the holding Of the Free
State election in Kansas yesterday, was stated in
our last, but the letter from Lawrence, detailing an
important conversation between the Governor and
three Free State men, in which the threat was dis
tnctly made and persisted in was 10y mi,take) left
over to appear to-day. We call attention to our
correspondents report Of thatremarkabe interview.
In the absence of information from Kansas, We
presume that the election was held yesterday, and
the Topeka Constitution again ratified BY some
Eight or Ten thousand electors Of Kansas. We
do NOT believe that Gov. Walker actually called out
any troops to prevent the Peoples voting on this
occasion. Hitherto, the Governors bark has been
worse than bis bite; or rather he has seemed to US
to be barking at the Free State men OF Kansas only
that be might be beard in Georgia and Mississippi.

wherein the attempt of the People Of Lawrence

Tile Boston Courier is the best exempli6catiOn
we know of that Conservatism which opposes all
Reform and Progress, and blames Reformers for all
the evil which they futlessly struggle to prevent.
Here is specimen Of its logic;
"Oregon, II is spprehended, may come into the
TIicp as Slave State. If should be so, the erent
may jpJste charged to he account q ne general Ss
AntiSlavery authority for saying that this agitation
has rot vet gained an inch of free soil. will on the
other hand Be accountable for whatever enlargement
OF the area Of Slavery may ensue. Anti'Slsvery agl
tstion is not negative principle, BY any means. II
its advocates admit that after many years of active
ration il has failed to secure an inch OF free SOIL
its opposers may fairly that its influence has
been IN the other direction. There may possibly be
some truth in the remark that if there be anything
worse than Slavery it is Anti-Savery."
of course! And if there is anything worse
than Intemperance it is Temperance; if there is
ANYTHING wor,e than Libertinism, it is anti-Lber-
tipism if there is anything worse than Murder, it
is anti. Murder. Has all the opposition to Crime
ever secured to a single township perfect immunity
from Crimel And if men persist in killing one
another, shall we not lay the blame on the general
"aeitation on the subject Of" killing! BY all
means
Three years ago, nobody dreamed Of Oregon ever
becoming Slave State, while it was exceedingly
probable that Kansas would be nothing else. Since
then, agitation with regard to Slavery in Kansas
has been active and constant, while next to
nothing has been said about Slavery in Oregon.
Az result, we feel great confidence that Kansas
though now epslaved, will become a Free State,
while there il serious doubt as to the triumph or
defeat of Slavery in Oregon. The Courier's logic
will not adapt itself to these notorious facts.

men the Message which we print in another col
umn-a Message brimfall of recommendation
for grading and improving streets, constructing
reservoirs for water, prohibiting tipping and DIS
orderly houses, removing nuisances prejudicid to
health, protecting and improving public grounds,
and other such arrant "treason." What could
Walker mean by concentrating troops on Lawrence
on no other preteIt than the adoption Of this In
dgenous Charter, and then permitting it 30 openly
to 60 into effect Wejudgo from this that his
threats to stop the Free State election were only
intended to brighten the timersus into abstinence
from voting, and that be will not have attempted
actually to obstruct the polls. Yet we shall for
day or TIVE listen with interest for Kansas dis
patches, though We shall be quite content to receive
none.
Every possible Device whether legal or illegal, is
employed to SOW discord among the FreeState
men, and prevent any clear exhibition Of their
strength. The Prostate organization would have
been no whit more solid after the proposed State
Election than before but vote Of twelve or fifteen
thousand for the Topeka Constitution, following
close on the heels Of Walker & Co.'S forensic
efforts in various localities, and the miserable
fzzle- of the bogus Constitutional Election,
would have had an awkward look abroad, and so it
is to be prevented if possible. And, should this
attempt have proved successful, the blow will bs
repeated at the October Territorial Election. We
feel as sure as Of anything future that the Free
State men will somehow be precluded from voting
then, or else the Border Rufisns will be sent over
in regiments to vote them down. If there be one
who really believes that the Free-State men OF
Kansas will have any more fair play than their
strength shall command we entreat him to watch
this drama to the end.
