William Wells Brown, the colored ora
tor, who is not so black as some uhite men,
told very good story at the Abingdon
celebration. On steamboat on Cayuga
Lake, be went to the breakfast table with
the other passengers. Just as he took bis
seat, dark colored white man called
waiter, and asked if colored persons were
admitted to the table with white folks
The waiter did not know exactly what to
say, so be called the captain, who on en-
tering the cabin inquired who had called
for him. 81, sir" said Mr.. Brown, point
ing to the dark stranger ~ desire to
know if it is your custom to allow colored
people at the regular table ?" The cap
tain replied that no objection had ever
been made before, and seeing the dark
white man evidently annoyed in spirit, ap.
pealed to the generosity of the colored ora
tor, to allow him to remain. Mr. Brown
finally consented, and at this turn of af-
fairs the white man, who was so black as
to be passed for negro, left the table, in
utter disgust, and unable to speak his
thoughts

More Democracy,

The proclamation that Slavery is not
to be confined to the colored race, is not
inculcated exclusively by the Democratic
papers of the South. Hear what the New
York Day Book, q staunch Democratic
sheet, says. Here are the exact words Of
that paper in speaking Of the poor white
people. "Sell the parents of these chill
dren into Slavery. Let our Legislature
pass law that whoever will take these
parents and take care of them and their
offspring, in sickness and health-clothe
them, feed them and house them, shall be
legally entitled 10 their services; and let
the same Legislature decree that whoever
receives these parents and their children,
and obtains their services, shall take care
of them as long as they live"
This is what the Democratic party pro-
pose to do with the poor Americans, Irish
and Germans ana their chudren.
The Richmond Examiner, another model
Democratic paper, now merged with the
Enquirer, which is the leading Democrat
ic paper Of the country, said " Until
lately, the defence Of Slavery has lsbored
under great difficulties, because its apollo
gists took halfway ground. They coufu-
ed the defence of Slavery to mere negro
Slavery; thereby giving up the Slavery
principle, admitting other forms Of Slavery
to be wrong. The line of defence, howev-
er, is now changed. The South now main
tains that Slavery is right, natural and
necessary, and does not depend upon differ
enoe Of complexion. The laws of the
Slave States justify the holding of WHITE
MEN in b0nd00e."

The following preamble and resolutions
we're adopted without opposition at the
recent session Of the Northumberland Bap.
tist Association, in Muucy:
Whereas, many thousands of the children
of God in this land are held in bitter bondage,
denied the rights of common human nature,
forbidden to read the Word of God, and
crushed into hereditary poverty, ignorance,
and misery; and whereas, the most violent
and wicked measures are at this time taken
by slaveh holders, not only TO perpetuate but to
extend their odious and terrific system; there
fore,
Resolred, That we do most heartily deplore
and sympa,hize with our brethren and sisters
in Christ who are thus oppressed and degra-
ded. and that we will resoutely and constantly
use our power-Moral, Religious. and Politi-
cal-to prevent the extension of Slavery over
territory now free, and TO bring about if pos
sible the ultimate removal from our whole
country of a system which degrades men into
the condition of brute beasts, and which, if
persisted in, must end in the outpouring of
Gods wrath on our beloved country.
RcsoIred, That in the revelations OF Gods
Providence of late, We see encouragement TO
further labor and prayer for the extinction Of
slavery in our land, and a striking testimony TO
the usefulness of labor and prayer in this
cause heretofore.

um height, and little inclined to corpu-
lency. He is dressed in black cloth, and
although the air is very warm, he is we'll
wrapped up in an overcoat. His habits
Of life make him very sensitive to the
slightest change in the atmosphere. He
had suffered good deal in bis younger
days, and with this the cares of his fami-
ily-for his children are very refractory
begin to weigh heavy upon him. His
constant troubles and difficulties with the
United States Officers, not only try his
patience, but also wear his body His
consuming anxiety about bis object of am
bition-the establishment Of an ipdepend.
ent kingdom-and his efforts to maintain
the people in constant and implicit sub
mission, are sufficient to leave their mark
on any mans physique. He is not fifty
six years old and although young look
ing in features, still evipces his age in
person. His face is indicative of pcneira-
tion and frmness. Some ladies' think him
handsome; but his lower lip, if nothing
else, eminently por,rays the sensual vo-
luptuary.

How to Attain Old Age.

At the meeting Of the Alumni Of Yale
College, Rev. DANIEL WALDO, now nine
y.fue years of age, delivered the frst
speech. He gave some interesting remin-
iscences, and said that when be was
Freshman he had to run on menial servi-
ces for every Sophomore who chose to
call upon him. Gambling and playing
cards was = common occupation Of the
students at that time, particularly in his
class. Said Mr.. WALDO, ~ have seen
nearly a century. Do you want to know
how to grow old slowly and happily? Al
ways eat well-masticate we'll. Go to
food, rest, and occupations, smiling. Keep
good nature, and soft temper, every
where. Never give way to anger. A vi
olent tempest Of passion tears down the
constitution more than typhus fever.
Cultivate good memory, and to 90 this
you must always be communicative; re.
peat what you have read talk about it.
pr. Johnson's great memory was owing to
his communicativeness. You, young men,
who are just leaving college, let me advise
you to choose profession in which you
can exercise your talents the best, and at
the same time be honest. The best pro.
fession is the Ministry of the Gospel. If
you have not talents enough to be min
lister, be a lawyer, but be an honest law
yer. Pope's line should be altered to
read,
"An honest lawyer Is the noblest work of God.n

LAWRENCE, K. T., Aug 12
Three months ago, Kansas was at per-
feet peace-now, she is on the very verge
of civil war. Three months measures the
reign of Robert j. Walker. The old
charges Of last summer are resurrected.
The slumbering fires of that fearful con-
test are about to be lighted up. Villains
Of the deepest dye, like vultures scentiDg
from afar, are returning to Kansas. The
notorious "Border Rufian," Col Titus, is
now here stirring up excitement prepara-
tory TO anouner Invasion.
Judge Cato has given an opinion that
the payment Of the Territorial Taxes is a
necessary prerequisite Of voting at the
October election if this is to be, nearly
one-half of the Free State men will be
disfranchised, as the legal voters will only
be those that have been here six months
previous to the election.
1t seems that the peaceful policy that
Gov. Geary iuaugurated, is to be abandon
ed-and We are to be carried back to the
dreary horrors that characterized the in
famous reign Of Shannon.

In complimenting our candidates for
the Supreme Bench, the Berks County
Press justly uses the following language !:
"Mr. LEWIS is sound lawyer, an hon.
est, sober, and sincere man man who
has no deceptions about him, and who en-
joys truly the respect and esteem Of all his
neighbors and townsmen. The people Of
Chester county will roll up an ovcrwhelm-
ing majority for their cherished son, for all
party lines disappear at the mention Of his
name, and all good citizens unite in his
support.
1.-THE same may be said of Mr.. VEEcn.
He is the ablest lawyer in Western Penn
sylvania He too, is man who will dig.
nifty and honor the post to which the pco-
pie seek to elevate him. The Convention
which nominated him sought man learn
ed in the law-not mere politician, and
they have found the objects of their de-.
sire in the candidates presented. They
will be elected, regardless of party chi
canery. In matter Of such vital i'm
portance to the people, as the choice Of
Judges,it is the duty of every voter to e1-
anime into the character and qualifications
of the candidates; and where real merit
and genuine capacity, honor, high minded
integrity and manly virtue are found, for
such it is our duty to vote. Our candi-
dates eau pass unharmed through the Or
deal of such an investigation"
