COMPENSATED EMANCIPATION.

We have mt time, and cannot well occupy the
space just now, to give our views at length upon
this mooted question but we wish to say in brief,
for ourselves personally, that have confidence
whatever in the scheme, and are decidedly opposed
to it.
]. u is an acknowledgement ofHc right ofprop'
elfy in man; which is virtual abandonment of
the first great principle of anti.savery.
3 1t is thus far, u cirtaat endorsement Of Stare
ry, and not testimony against it.
3. 1t is as rroag IN prtaciple as it would be to
buy up the cards, and dice. and billiard tables OF
the gambler; or the jimmies and false keys Of the
burglar, to induce them to give up their nefarious
business.
A. 1t is grossly uJu8t. The shareholders have for
these two centuries, lived in idleness and luxury,
on the unrequiteda toll Of stolen men and women,
while we at tho North. have been tong early and
late-even our daughters and wives With us-to
earn our own bread At length, il comes to pass
that the North is rich, and the South is poor
Aside from their fictitious "slaye property" they
are absolute papers. Now it is proposed that the
whole nation the honest free labOrer Of the North
with our factory girls" and "white slaves" SO
often sneered at by the South, shall turn il and
pay the cost Of their idleness and dissipation, by
buying their 'nggers !" Was there ever anything
more absurd or unjust? No, no. They have
danced, and now let them pay their own piper.
5. The whole scheme is uUerly impractlcablc
and Customary. If the slaveocrats have right to
anything, they are entitled to the tW marhet
ratae of their property. Does Mr. Burritt sup
pose they are going to take $3.50 apiece for their
Slaves, when they will bring $1,000 on on average !?
And is not each slave state Sovereign state"
which establish slavery at pleasure, if they
were to sell out today, to the federal government?
And when will the slave states unanimously CON
sent to sell out at twenty cents on the dollar?
6. Though not so designed, perhaps il is after
all. nothing but dicerSioa IN JaCor Of the stare
nj
innate emancipation Of the slaves, that an effort to
change our general rule on slavery Will have, upon
the exclusion Of slavery from the NJ. Il. Church in
1860. Only let the ant-slavery sentiment of the
country run in that direction, and slavery will lift
up its head and bee more imperious than ever
We venture the predicuon-let time verify or con.
denim the prophecy.
For ourselves we despise all such ompromises
If others wish TO give up their principles, endorse
the right Of property in land go into the slave
trade, they may do so. Our aDti-slavery can never
be drawn off By any such pewter safety valve.

Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1857-10-17

The object sought to be secured by the State of
Virginia in the Lennon case, is nothing less than
to convert the city of New York into grand de-
pot for the domestic savetrade-a business in
which the State of Virginia has such deep stake
and interest The business in most other branch
es of traffic. whether the goods disposed of be of
domestic or foreign origin, already centres in this
city. Should the State of Virginia through the
aid of Mr.. OConors purchased eoquence, and, as
he says, unpurchased opinions, succeed in getting
q judgement in her favor, we may expect to see
also the domestic slave-trade which has hitherto
mainly centred in Baltimore, Alexandria Rich
mond and New Orleans, speedily establishing its
headquarters here. That such is the extent of the
object aimed at, is fully apparent from the printed
points submitted by Mr.. O'Conor to the Court
The third of these points is as follows:
"The State of New York cannot restrain cit.
izen of the United States from passing through
her territory with his slaves or other property on
a lawful visit to State where Slavery is allowed
by law"
And in exposition of this general doctrine we
find among others, the following propositions, sus
tanned. by great array of cited cases:
"Congress has power to regulate commerce with
foreign nations, and among the several States and
with the Indian tribes. -(Const. U. s. art, l. sec
3. subd. 3.)
This power is absolutely exclusive in Congress
SO that no State can constitutionay enact any reg
utdtion Of commerce between the States whether
Sonb'0.o nus oAorciseu tne same power over tut
matter in question or left it free.
AT all events, the States have not reserved the
right to prohibit and thus destroy commerce or any
portion of it.
The word commerce. as it is used in this con
stitutional grant Of exclusive power to Congress
includes The transportation Of persons and the who'll
subject of intercourse between our ,itizens of diff
erent States as well as between them and foreign
ers. Consequently, no State can impose duties
imposts or burdens of any kind, much less pena
forfeitures upon the citizens of other States 70

at home, some extracts from which we find in the
Sone'sR HeraiG. Mr. Williams says:
l wish you would send some Of those Mock
Democrats Of old Franklin out here. They will be
cured so thoroughly in eight out Of ten that they
will never cry democracy" again-they will sud
denly discover that all those Kansas stories"
not BLACK Republican lies"
Men who come here now from Pennsylvania as
Democrats, and who voted for Buchanan last fall,
change their politics in twenty-lour hours after
they set foot in tho Territory. Why, there are men
here who "stumped iV in the State for Old Buck
last iall, who declare now that their connection
with the Bogus Democracy is at end forever.

If on the other hand, he should lose two. which
would be improbable, should the commerce be pro-
tected by the general government,t they will amount
together to S226 O75 which, deducted from the pro-
fits realized from the successful ship Of S526 ,O25,
will still leave u net profit of S30O,S50 With the
prospect of such chances, is it strange that the
much-injured traffic is prosperous, in spite Of the
war made upon it by all the great powers of the
earth? or is it strange that those who have stoT-
ach for trading in their own flesh and blood should
desire 20 have the commerce go by some other
name than piracy.-NcD York Erening Post

A SINGULAR EFFECT OF CLIMATE.-It is a sig
nifcient fact that at least three'fourths OF the
Northern Democrats who go to Kansas are very
suddenly cured Of their democrcy. This singu-
lar circumstance is attributed to some peculiarly
of the climate but whatever the cause, the fact
cannot be denied. Mr.. George A. Williams, late
of Franklin county Pa, recently emigrated to
Kansas and he has written letter to his friends

MINNESOTA PoLTIcs'-Politics are running high
in Minnesota. Both parties putting forth
their strongest efforts. The Democrats are i'm
porting large numbers of rufians under the ten
day law, They have 500 Irishmen working on
the streets of St. Paul, at public expense. They
will be used as voting cattle" on election day.
The Republicans, however are not discouraged.
They will make stout fight and exhaust every
fair and legal resource to save the new State from

TIE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.-The Evangelical
Alliance commenced its sttings at Berlin on the
10Th of September. Mr.. Wright the American
ambassador, addressed tho meeting in an eloquent
speech. Bishop Simpson spoke briefly in the
name OF the methoGsts of America, and Rev, DR..
Baird read an address from the Protestant Chris
tians of America to the conference, which be
stated, had received the signatures of the most
distinguished Protestant christians in the United
States. and had also been adopted by seVera
religious bodies such the synod of the Associate
Reformed Chnrch, the General Assembly Of the
New School Presbyterian Church, and also had
received the signatures of many prominent mem
bors of the Old School Presby yterian Church, the
Associate Church the Reformed Dutch Church
the Baptist, Methodist Episcopal, Moravian, and
other churches. Abo addresses were delivered
by Dr. jacob and the celebrated DR.. Merle d
Aubigne, of Geneva go well known by his histo
ry of the reformation in the sixteenth century
The convention amounting to about nine hundred
members, paid a visit to Potsdam, where they
were Hospitality received and entertained by thC
king and royal family. His Majesty made brie
but appropriate speech upon the occasion. Ther
were present at the conference between thirty ant
forty clergymen from the United States.

MORALITY OF SLAYEuoLDING RELIGIoN.-A COR
respondent Of The Northern Independent writea
as follows:
While residing in one OF our Southern cities, I
boarded with reverend gentleman Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, who appeared cans
did, grave and conscientious, and whose wearing
apparel, by the way, drab-colored, broad brimmed
beaver, straight collar, shad-bellied coat and
snowywhite cravat, gave most unmisakable evil
dence Of his clerical caste. But he slave
holder, and had been SO for years, and was not
ashamed Of it, shame on him ! Sometimes he
would have family prayers, and sometimes not,
it might happen. Sometimes instead thereof. he
would storm at his slaves either one of which, |
suppose was equally acceptable or precious to the
all'wise liearer OF prayer. His slaves consisted
OF the following group mother OF about fifty.
and some eight children, from a young man of
twenty to q child Of some three years old. The
woman was mulatto. and her children of q mon
gre sort, from the woody headed African to the
fair quadroon beauty.
"Ale these your slaves ?" said TO my clerical
host, soon after coming to board with him..
"Yes," he replied.
care all these her children ?"
"Yes"
"Then she has husband % remarked,
"No."
but she once had one ?" continued l.
'Yes," said lie and added, "a few years agoT
sold him."
"What, having children and no husband r'
''Ges no trouble about that"
"But how is this ?' said "the eldest one is o
regular black, and the little girl" pointing to one
almost white, sis whito?"
Oh" said he ''that one she had by her black
man. but this white girl she had by a white man
where let her out, at the hotel"
"What, a white man insult your woman thus
at hotel?" said |, and continued, "did you
feel like prosecuting the wretch who SO abused
her ?"
NO." was the answer of the reverend slavshold
er and he added with meaning smile, 'that
white one will fetch heap more money than the
others"
The Chicago Tribune says that the long contested
case of the site OF Superior City, Wis as between
the Superior Town Company-consistng of Ste
phon A. Douglas, Jesse d. Bright John c. Breck-
enridge, Sidney Webster (lor self and Frank
Pierce land number of like Democratic patriots
on the one hand, aud the Irish dupes who occupied
the ground before it was brought into the market,
on the other, brought to a close at the Su-
perior Land Office, week before last. The dec
sion was rendered against the politicians and in
favor Of the preemgtors
