VOLUNTARY EMIGRATION"

The. nti.Slavery Standard publishes the fol
Sowing letter from the coast of Africa. to a gentle
man of philadelphia. The letter was written by
4. j. Hutchinson, NJ. D., British Consul for the
Blight Of Biafra, northern coast Of Africa.
Accounts from every quarter, indicate that this
peculiar commerce. is now carried on most
briskiy under the connivance of our own govern
meut AZ well as these Of France and Spain. For.
ney's propaecy that the formal reopening of the
trade by Congress is to be the next test of Democ.
rAcy. is likely soon to become history.
DR.. Hutchinson says:

SOUTHEN AsSAILANTS OF NORTHERN
LABOR.

A correspondent of the New York Post gives
the following "reminiscences concerning Senator
Hammond Of South Carolina:
II knew his father. who was a true Yankee
from Massachusetts. lie then resided in Lexing'
ton district, South Carolins, and was the owner
AMI manager of a saw-mill. lie had previously
carried on the business of a butcher. at Columbia.
His chief pride seemed To be centred in his son,
James. whom he trained from childhood in
oratorical exercises. The mother of James was
| think, the daughter of an Englishman, named
Fox. So the aristocratic Senator is half Yankee.
half Bull. His Yankee father ~grudged no sac
riGce to make him an orator, and fit him for pub
lie life, not expecting that he would distinguish
chiefly in efforts against the land of his
fathers"

TESTING SEED CORN There is much damaged
corn this year, much care will be requisite in Sc
lecting such as is suitable for seed. Ihave seen in
your paper and else wbere several modes suggested
for testing It's ~ nlnasing qualities, but they are
~ipeficic~ practical Die. or attended with too
much Z to be generally useful.
Th' wing mode will be found simple. prac-
tea certain, and can be applied to any ex.
ter sed. Put the shelled corn in q vessel or
vessels of such dimensions as are required for the
quantity TO be tested Pour water over il Of about
the temperature OF milk from the COW. until it is
fully covered. and adding to the water from time
to time, as the absorption and swelling of the corn
should raise it above the surface. Set it in a mod
erately warm place and let it remain twenty four
hours. Then pour the water off, cover the corn
with some thick cloth which must be kept
wet. and let it stand in some warm place
until it sprouts. This will take place in from
thirty six to forty eight hours, usually, if the corn
is good.

times with the sprout half an inch long The re
suit is that it brings the plant forward a week or
more earlier than planting dry. This advantago

THE ANTI-SLAV cry BUGLE.

an old fashioned square house, with a cupola on
the top, but otherwise Of very unpretcntious ap-
p%earHnco. This house is occupied by two families
brothers. One is II w~hcel.wright, q very wor-
thy man and much respected By his tellow-citizens
But no ian Northern labOrer, one who gets m
humble living by the sweat Of his brow, and one
ot the class stigmitlzod by Senator Hammond as
slaves. This worthy mechanic, hOwever-this
child of toil-this Northern slave as he would be
termed 10y the degenerate son of a New England
sire is the father of another Southern represen.
tative. In that old house Mr.. Maynard. the rep
resentative OF the second district in Tennessee,
was born. Here his father pursued his useful
calling. and his mother an sisters braided straw,
bound shoes, and taught school TO aid him through
college. Here Mr.. Maynard imbibed principles
which should have goSerned his career through
life. but which seem TO haze been lost sight OF
in the pursuit of the glittering pr,Se OF ambition
The son of q Massachusetts wheei~rlght-the
Yankee school teacher" for such Mr.. McIvhara
was when he first went to the South, is one "
the most Jealous defenders Of the peculiar insti-
tuition, and one of those who haughtily spurn
Northern labor, and who are ready at all times
to strike it down, whether by a tariff which en-.
courages foreign manufacturers, or by a more
direct blow at individual interests. 1t has been
said. and perhaps truly, that Yankees make the
hardest slave-drivers. So a New England man,
who has fairly turned his back on the home Of his
CHILDHOOD, and Unidentified himself with Southern
interests, is too often the most ready to attack
the interests of the section 20 which he owes all
that he is.

A SicHT FROM TIE NATIONAL CAPITOL. 1t has
been boasred that the slave trade was abolished in
the District of Columbia. This however does not
preven. the march Of slave cofles in front of The
Capitol. Says the Washington Republic of a
lats date;
"About noon yesterday, some twenty slaves on
their way South. passed from the Baltimore Depot
across this city, in front of the Capitol, and down
Maryland avenue. The slaves we're on foot follow
ID by two drivers in a buggy.

TKuE.-A Washington Correspondent Of the
New York Times says:
1t is curious to what an extent public attention
hero At the capital is absorbed by Kansas AFFAIRS
Nobody. in or out of Congress, talks or thinks OF
anything else. AT dinners. in the streets, even al
evening parties, the fate of Lecompton is the lead,
ing theme of conversation. In part this may be
due TO the intrinsic interest aud Importance of the
subject hut hopes and fear of its influence upon
party divisions and party supremacy, are at the
bottom Of most Of it. The Democrats fear it will
break mp their organization the Republicans
hope it will give them control of tho Government
and in these contendiHg apprehensions is tn he
found the secret of the absorbing interest which
the subject excites. The absolute right and Justice
OF the case control the action Of very few"
Undoubtedly this is so. The lack of principle is
manifest to the most superficial and yet all is not
to be d~espaired of when popular hopes and fears
so clearly indicate the right.

PROSPECTS OF THE LECoMPToN BILL.

Tomorrow is the time fixed for a definite trial
of strength on the Lecompton bill in the House.
According to our dispatches, published this morn
ing, the failed to agree on any plan
tor uniting the discovered Democracy, and the
effort is abandoned. Neither party would agree
to any important concessions. twenty-five anti
~Lecompton Democratic members subsequently,
met and pledged themselves to stand firm. 1t is
also reported that the Crittenden amendment will
be sustained, as expected, by the leading Amori-
cans, and the Republican members are now unan.
imous in its support. This gives the anu. Lecomp.
ton side one hundred and twenty votes, enough to
allow a small discount, and still remain Il ma.
jority. If all these accounts are correct, the
Crittendcn substitute is likely to pass the House
to. morrow.
There are several stages yet. through which the
question must pass before it is definitely settled.
Should the House take the action which now
seems probable, the bill goes back to the Senate.
which will refuse to concur in the amendment.
The House will then have another trial over it.
