BOILING DOWN OR COMPROMISING.

when political opposition was first organized
against slavery, it's object was to overthrow the
systssn, nothing less; and as long as the Liberty
party adhered to this position, with such a special
object ia view, it challenged the respect of all by
the sincerity and strait.forward course of its
frispds. But for the last ten years as ambitious
cfics seekers affiliated themselves with the party
they hsve managed to compromise the very life
principle Of its original object out of existence,
and now there is scarcely enough of the primeval
idea left in the organization for a profape man
to swear by. Iadeed, there is scarcely enough
even of the clristencd name left by which we
may know from the present republican party that
it ever had for it's great grandfather sueh a good
old character as the Liberty party of 1904, for
it hasbeen fzzled and degenerated down by com.
promise whittlers 80 much, that its stalwart pro-
genitor would be quite as much ashamed of many
Of those who claim to be his progeny, as would
the present compromisers DO to ackno Wedge the
least political consequently to the party Of 6 1000,
which, fourteen years ago caused slavery to gnash
it's teeth with rage. The Freesoil baptism of lS4s
washed out about half the good Intentions of the
old Liberty party, and as a reward it had the re
markable privilege of voting for-Van Burcn, the
fox. The next dip, if it Giiu't wash cut any more

THE GREAT COMPROMISE MEASURE OF 1S50-mow
1T woRKs.-Anthony Cash, q colored man residing
in this city, was in his youth the slave of a man
in or near PIT. Pleasant, Virginia. lie ran away
from his master who sold him, running, TO ano
Their person. The purchaser of the chattel learn
ing his residence, came to the city and entered in
to negotiations with Anthony. Finally, for a Ger
tain amount Of cash paid down and cash prospec:
i've, Anthony Cash bought himself. The notes he
gave were paid, and for many years Anthony has
lived here in peace.
Some weeks ago Anthony had %occasion to go up
the river. The steamboat was boarded at Gallipo,
lis, by his original owner and some others. who
claimed that Cash was still q slave. At PIT. Pleas
ant he was taken from the boat and confined in
Jail. The authority wns the claimant's oath I'M
der the Fugitive Slave Law, that he had never sold
Cash, and that, consequently, Cash could never
have purchased himself.
Information of Anthony's confinement was sent
to his wife, who procured the services of lawyers
in this city, and went with Anthony's papers 10
PIT. Pleasant. The papers were in due form, drawn
by Rufus Hodges, and when n hearing was had of
the case, no one appeared for the claimant, md
Anthony was set at liberty. lie came back to Gin.
cinnati, and it is needless to say, has q very poor
opinion of the Fugitive Slave Law.-Cia. Gaz,

miscellaneous Summary.

KANsAs.-Afairs at Fort Scott are still in an I'M
settled condition. All parties represent the con-
duct of the government officials anG hahgers-on
about the land Office to be most insulting to per-
sons Of FREQ state prOclivities, who visit the land
Office TOR presumption purposes. In all probability
the place will be destroyed. Efforts are being MADE
by the Inhabitants TO have the land Office removed
to some place where protection can be given to
those who have business with the Government.
WASHINGTON CRY, June 3.-The North East
ern Boundary Act, for the revival of which Sen
ator Douglas today introduced a bill, puts at the
disposal of the President, to be used when neces-
sary to resist the claims of Great Britain, the
naval and military forces and the militia of the
United States; authorises him to call into service
5000 volunteers. and also puts at his disposal
$40 000, 900 with the right to borrow the same,
and, il he deems necessary, to send a special an
bassador to Great Britain. The Act is to continue
in force for 60 days after the next meeting OF Con-
gress. The bill confers the powers in the precise
language of the act of 1889, except that it strikes
out the word boundary and inserts visitation and
the right to search, with q few other verbal alter
atoms, comforting, in fact, the same power on Mr.
Buchanan as was conferred on Mr.. Van Buren,.
The OLD DoMINIoN.-The great want of Vir
glnia is development. As has been said elsewhere
from the Pennsylvania to the Carolinas, anC
ITUm luz WdNbo VI tuC SCth nv "atOio VI u
Ohio she is che vast unwrought mine-and unde
veloped treasure" Within her limits she has thu
latent resources of an empire. Her agriculture
capacities have not reached one tenth their prope
exhibit. Her commercial, scarcely One'fftieth
while in manufacturing and mining she has no
reached her ultimate development by many hun
dredths. -Richm0nd Enquirer.
Very true, but there is q greater want, which
needs "development"--the want of FREEDOM!
TALL PREAcuERs.-A correspondent of tn,
Southside (Va,) Democrat, writing from the Gen
eral Conference of the Methodist Episcopa
Church, South, thus speaks of tho tall preacher
in attendance:
There are a number of very able men presen
men of great ability as teachers, and powerful il
debate. And there are some who are giants il
physical stature. For example, there are fou>
members Of the Conference whose aggregate
length is &c feet-namely the Rev. Mr.. Young
of Missouri, who stands full 6 feet 8 inches in hi
slippers the Rev. Mr.. Kelley Of South Carolina
who stands full 6 feet 6 inches the Rev. Mr.. Al
exander, of Texas, 6 feet 6 inches Plus and thu
Rev. DIR. Mitchell. of Alabama, 6 feet Al inches.-
Three Of these reverend gentlemen are as tnel.
proportional men as you would meet in a day,
walk about town nor are they men of ordinar,
intellectual e~ndowments. All Of then stand higl
as men of intelligence aud fine preaching
qualities.

ROGER PRYOR ON THE SLAVE TRADE.

Roger Pryor, the able editor of tho 'Richmond
South" attended the recent Southern Convention
and made q long and effective speech against the
re.opening of the slave trade with Africa. AT The
close of his speech, the sutjoincd ~colloquy took
place between Mr.. Pryor and Judge Jones o.
Georgia:
"Mr. Pryor. 1 affirm that neither history mol
~posterity would applaud US in stalking the Union
on the revival of tho slave trade. Applause. ]
intend no disrespect TO the gentleman from South
Carolina, when | declare that it is an unworthy is
sue, that it is a pitiful proposition; that it is re-
pugnant to the instincts Of Southern chivalry.-
Applause. say. it does not comport with oui
dignity. Applause. If you intend to dissolve
the Union, say SO, in manly and explicit language
Present your preamble and resolutions, and we Of
Virginia will be prepared to back you, or to give
treason for abiding in the Union. Applause =
Meantime, let me en:reat yon, to desist from an
agitation which can only divide uS now and dis
grace us hereafter. Applause.
Judge Jones, of Georgia. l do not understand
the gentleman fully. l understand him to say,
that it the proposition be to dissolve the Union, t.
dissolve it now, openly and boldly.
Mr.. Pryor. l say, if it be the purpose of the
gentlemen who insist upon the revival OF the slave
trade to dissolve the Union, that they should ayow
it at orce and explicitly. Loud Applause
Judge Jones. Then, l ask the gentleman from
Virginia whether he will 90 with us now, to-day
for q dissolution of the Union. Applause.
Mr.. Pryor. This is my answer will not take
a position outside of the Union until l can 70 with
an undivided South: Applause. Isay, sir, tina,
when you give me o case of insult and oppression
sufficient to justify revolution, and give me an uni
ted South, then will BIO ready to 60 with you.-
Loud applause.
Judge Jones. If the gentleman waits for ar
undivided South, he will never 60 out of the
Union. Applause. -,
Mr.. Pryor. No, sir, l do not think so meanly
of the people of the South as to believe that in the
event of incontesti5le and adequate aggression
any State or any man will be recreant to the cause
/ speak for Virginia when | say that she will new
or betray the interests of the South.
Judge Jones is unquestionably right. There
will be no dissolution of the Union. if the extrem
lists wait till the South is ~unitedly in favor of it, o.
when a majority of slave States even favor disu
MON. Two or three States are all that will ever b.
found ready for such q mad scheme, and we doub
if the majority of the people ofany Southern Stat
will consent seriously to leave the Union.

CRUELTY TO A SLAvE,-The Maryvillo East
Tennesseean of the 9th ult, says:
On Monday last, Mr.. Coroner Sesler was called
TO hold on inquest on the body of a small negro
boy, the slave of Mr.. Isaac Cochran, who, it was
alleged came to his death by the cruel treatment
of his master. We hear that the result of the in.
quest was such that the Grand Jury, now in ses-
sion, found a bill of indictment against him, and
he has been held TO bail in the sum of $4,000.
Maryville and its vicinity is one of those places
we so often hear OF, where Slavery exists in its
mildest form" This broken country is inhabited
by small farmers with few slaves, and some TWEEN
ty years ago, q strong anti-slavery sentiment
p~ervaded the neighborhood, and a fearless anti
slavery paper was published in the village. The
result of this state of things, is manifest even yet
in the fact that the master who had cruelty tor
tured and slain q helpless child. is held for
trial in bonds of $4,000. In n great majority Of
places in the slave holding states his arraignment
or punishment would never be thought of, or if
suggested, would not for a moment be entertained,
lest it should seem to call in question the supreme
authority of the master over the limb and life of
lhis slave,
