ure. Villain tenures were even frequently held
by men personally free. They ultimately grew
into copyholds, species Of tenure often real y rs
valuable as freehold, hut which, down to the Re-
form bill, carried badge of servitude in its not
comforting the elective franchise"
There was, however, several points of difference
between the old English and the present American
slavery. First, the slave was a slave to his mas
ter only; to all ;he rest of the world he free
man, would sue and be sued, be witness, &c.
Secondly, IL he run away his master could reclaim
him any time within year and day, hy proving
his claim-aiter that time, the slave was Free
Thirdly, the children followed the condition of the
father, andl bastard children were always
free. Finally, there was no restriction on eman.
cipaton, and to set a slave free was always q meri
torious act.
As slavery wns terminated in England by the
gradual amelioration Of the laws regulating it, the
English papers recommend similur course to be
pursued in this country. This is no new idea bu
was recommended and urged nine years since by
DR.. Hodge Of Princeton, in the Princeton Review

SLAVERY IN ENGLAND.

The discussion of the slavery question in Eng.
land has led to the examination of the old English
laws on the subject and this has led to the discov-
cry of the fact that slavery once existed in that
country and that slaves were once bought and sold
in England as naturally as in the Car0linas. And,
moreover, slavery has never been abolished in
that country but has naturally died out under the
operation of amelioratiug laws. The London Star,
Of the 26tE, Gays:
Before the Norman conquest, and for some time
after slavery existed in its most unmodihed form.
Englishmen and English women were bought and
sold like sheep or negroes. The slave class was
replenshed from two sources-prisoners OF war,
chiefly Welsh, anG EGglshmen reduced TO slavery
as a punishment for certain crimes. The effect oi
the Conquest seems to have been to mix up the
actual slaves and the free peasanry into the sln-
gle class of rillains, whose state was something
between slavery and freedom. Something anala'

ton from one state TO the other. This hint we re-

THE SAN FRANCISCO CITY DEBT,

By decision Of the Supreme Court, recently
made the city Indebtedness, in addition to the
fact of its having been rejected under the last
funding bill passed,ls placed precisely in the same
category with that of the State The charter under
which twas created expressly forbade the creation
Of any Indebtedness exceeding $4,000, just as
the Constitution prohibited the Legislature from
running the State into debt over S300,000. Now,
in relation TO the rejected scrip Of which there ia
about 81 100000 still ufoat, it is we'll known and
acknowledged that much of it is quite mertuus
as that which was funded, and that the reason Of
its rejection was that in the creation Of the debts,
which il represented, certain formalites were not
observed. which were in the creation Of that
which was funded. lt was not because the city
had not received equitable consideration for
the larger portion of the scrip issued that il
rejected, as much which was really more merito-
rious; really more deserving of payment than
some Of that which was embraced within the pro-
visions Of the landing bill,
We, therefore. are obliged to look upon the re.
jected city strip az placed in precisely the same
position . .he State Indebtedness created under
unconstitutional acts, and the principle of repu-
diatiOn in the one case would apply equally in
the other. We
believe time that this city debt OF at least
that portion of itIyr which The city has received

Free state men have the material aid, the popula-

principle which yill prompt to necessary sacrifice

Will not the same principle of action which
prompts free state men to go to Kansas to exclude
slavery, lead others to come to Kentucky to help
abolish slavery?
This will require great sacrifice, Of property
perhaps, and personal comfort. But does not ev-

WILSON ON FANATICISM.

In Senator Wilson's recent speech the following
significant passage occurs:
"Cast your eyes over the North take New Eng
land, with her one hundred and fifty thousand pop
ular majority against your candidate; take the
whole line of Northern States and when you
look atithem, remember that we have a large pu
rality in all of them, except in small portion in
cluded within about forty thousand square miles
Of territory, and that intend to burn over in the
next four years | allude to Eastern and Central
Pennsy lvana, Southern lndiara Southern Illinois
and small portion Of New Jersey. There we.mean
to discuss the question: and have it we'll and clear
ly defined and understood. The rest Of the North
is ours. If you believe that the people are fa
naties, or that their leaders deceive them, remem
her one thing that in 1850 there were in the Unit
ed States nearly eight hundred thousand free per
sons above twenty years Of age who could not read
or write Only ninety lonr thousand If this eight
hundred thousand happen to live in the States
which Fremont has carried. Remember another
thing, that the State of Massachusetts,, which you
consider so ultra-a people so easily deluded-
prints, within few th0usar d, ana circulates
more newspapers within the State. than all the
fifteen Southern States of the Union. Remem-
her they have moro volumes in their public libra
ries than all the slave States. Remember they
give away more money 20 the Bible and Mission
ary and other Benevolent Societies every year
than the entire slayeholding States and they
have done so duing the last quarter of a CEN
tury."

Not only are the old free States more hourishng
than the old slave States and the new free States
more Hourishing than the new slave States but
slave States themselves are the most Furnishing in
thuse parts wGere there is the least slavery, and
most depressed in those parts where slavery most
prevails Look at Maryland and Delaware; the
Northern portions, along the Pennsylvania line,
where there hardly any slaves, grow and
thrive--the Southern parts decay or are sta

There are three Counties in Delaware: New
Castle the most northern, Kent, the central, and
Sussex the southern County. There are hardly
any slaves in New Castle County. not many in

SACRED MELODY.
BY WILLIAM LEGGErT.

II yon bright stars which gem the night
Be each blissful dwelling sphere,
Where kindred spirits re.unite
Whom death has torn asunder here
How sweet it were at once to die,
And leave this blghted orb aiar--
Mixed soul with soul to cleave the SKYE
And soar away from star TO star.
But, OF how dark. how drear, how lone
Would seem the brightest world Of blissr
II, wandering through each radient zone,
We failed to find the loved Of this,
If there no more the ties should twine,
Which deaths cold hand alone can sever,
All then these stars in mockery shine,
More hateful as they shine forever.
1t cannot bel each hope and fear
That lights the eye or clouds the brow,
Proclaims there is happier sphere
Than this bleak We q that holds us now
There is u voice which sorrow hears
When heaviest weighs life's calling chain;
IT'S heaven that whispers, DRY thy tears,
The pure in heart sLall meet again "
Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1857-01-24

Thus it appears. that while New Castle County
has gained about G5 per cent. in population, being
nearly free from slavery, Sussex County, which is
blessed with it, has less population by l,Sl4 than
it had forty years ago In view OF this condition
of things. we cannot doubt that, before many
years elapse, slavery will be abolished in Delaware,
by the gradual process adopted in Pennsylvania,
eighty three years ago. Such project was lost
by one uOte in the Delaware Legislature, very few
years ago.
What must we think of the intelligence of those
citizens of the Northern States who would rather
see Kansas Sussex than New Castle?

Opinions on MIR. Bue han ans Letter.

Various opinions are passed at the North upon
Mr.. Buchanan's letter. The leading Democratic
and most of the neutral papers approve it. The
Boston Post says: "This sound, calm and admira-
BILE letter of President Buchanan, which is every
way worthy of his reputation, will be read with
high satisfaction by the opponents Of the slavery
agitation, and those who mean to stand by the
Constitution of our common country. 1t indicates
the intelligence with which the chief magistrate
will apply vital principles; the frmness with which
he means to execute the laws. For such lofty pur-
poses his ctuntrymen will zealousy rally around
him."
Of this opinion seem all the conservatives. On
the other h.lnd, the Republican papers denounce
the letter. One says: Nothing which Pierce ever
uttered was more offensive to the growing anti
slavery sentiment of this country than some pas
sages in this unfortunate letter. 1t is throughout
n labored defence of the cause of the Border Ruff
fans, and most dishonest and iniquitous assault
upon the motives and actions of the free State men
Of Kansas. The President adopts the most ultra
and radical pro-slavery views. and goes to the
highest standard ever get mp by the secessonisss
and nulfers of the South The New London
Star says, very pithily and truly :-'Some Of the
leading Democratic papers of the country doubt
the proprety of the President replying to the me-
morialists at all. We think the reply will do great
good 1t is vigorous and conclusive vindication

Anecdote Of Gov, Allston.

Nessrs. Editors:-In your last issue, noticed
m anecdote, taken from the Greenville Patriot,
illustrating the unosten.atious demeanor of our
Chief Magistrate during his travels. 1t is very
good 80 far as it goes, but we'll known gentle
man of this city is responsible for the following
version of it, which possesses considerably more
pth, and is too good to be lost.
As the Governor was proceeding in his carriage
to the parade ground, near Greenville, he over
took as your cotemporary states, one of the "bone
and siuew" of the land, when something like tho
following dialogue took place:
Bone and Sine~.-"I say, stranger, you've got
O nice carriage, and plenty Groom; spose you
give Sal and me a lift to the review"
Gouernor.-"Certainly, sir, you are welcome to
a ride"
(They thank him; get in and ride some distance
in sience.)
Bone and Snem.-"Stranger, you look like
mighty clever fellow. Who mought you be-"
Governor-"Wel, some call me the Governor
of the State"
Bone and Sinec.-"Gra. a-a.te Jee-ee. .ee-rusa-
lem Sal, git out O. bere!" And sure enough
they got out as no solicitation was avsiling to make
them ride with live Governor. Thed rather
have sat by a rattesnake.

SYRUP.

Our thanks are due E. T. AVERY, Esqr.. for a
specimen of his syrup, manufactured from the
Chinese Sugar Cane, surprising in quantity and
quality, any we have yet seen. Mr.. A. is one of
our most energetic and enterprsing farmers, and
has devoted considerable attention to the culture
of the Cane, with view, not only of satisfying
himself, but to convince others that it is no hum.
bug He has been experimenting on pretty e1-
tensive scale, and is perfectly satisfied with the
result, and considers the introduction of the Cane
as an Agricultural product, of incaculable benefit
to the South. We are glad to see from our e1-
changes that planters throughout the State are
alive to its Importance.
Our Agricultural cotemporary-the Laurens-
Vile Herold-regrets that he has not received any
specimens. We are little disposed to censure
the farmers of Laurens for being so unmindful Of
their obligation to one who has done, and is still
doing so much to promote their prosperity. We
would like, friend Herald, to send you bottle,
but fear "Uncle SAM would not deliver.
