a MEMORABLE INTERYIEW.

-
Mr.. Garrison. in reviewing Parton's Life Of
Aaron Burr Ia very interesting work lately pob.
lished by Mason Brothers of this city, and which
we Intend TO notice at another time, )Cives an ag-
count of an interview which he had with that dis.
unguished man u few years before his death.
Mr.. Garrison (see Li6erdt0r OF Jan. Sth,) says /:
1T is certainly to his (Burr's) credit that, while
he was a member of the New York Legislature
in 1884, a bill having been introduced Tor the
gradual abolition of slavery in that State, The was
IN favor OF a speedier extinction Uf the anomaly y,
and moved to amend the bill 50 as to totally abUl-
ISL slavery after a certain day His amendment
having been rejected, he voted for ,he original
bill, which was lost. Probably it was his last cf
fort in that direction for, in lS3l-2-I cannot
now determine the precise date, but not long after
the publication Of The LiLcraior was commenced
Aaron Burr visited Boston. and sent me Il spe.
clal request TO have an interview with him at the
Marlboro Hotel. Curious to see so noted a man,
and especially to know what could be his object in
soliciting an acquaintance, | ut once com plied
with his request, and had Il free conversation with
him on the subject Of slavery. lie received me
with the suavity and polltencSs 70 r which lac was
so remarkable, and with great adruitness under
took to dissuade me from prosecuting the anti.
slavery cause, and continuing to publish The LiO-
eTaiO1-skilliully setting forth the hopelessness OF
my object, the perils to which | should be subject
ed, the dangers of a general emancipation OF the
slaves, the power and spirit of the Slave Oigar-
chy, &c. DC. &c. Ills manner was patrOnlZlhp,
and with his strong and plausible representations
of the dangers and difficulties in the case, well cal.
culated to make a deep impression on my then
youthful mind. He had a remarkable eve, more
penetrating, more fascinating than any | had ever
seen, while bis appearance was truly venerable.
But he was batfled in his purpose, and soon found
that he was dealing with one who occupied a very
different plane from his own whose trust was
not in nan, but in the living God who was not
to be intimidated OF discouraged by any portrayal
Of consequences, whether real Ur imaginary who
was animated by a love of impartial liberty, and
could not stoop to any considerations Of worldly
policy, As he revealed himself to my mora
sense, l saw that he was destitute Of any fixed
principles, aud that unyielding obedience to the
higher law was regarded by him US credulity OF
fanaticism. Yet | do rot remember that lie un
dertook to argue the rightfulness OF slavery-his
aim being, rather, to convince me both of the fol-
ly and danger of attempting to struggle with thu
Slave Power for its overthrow.
we parted he courteous and plausible to th,
last, and l firm and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT W
never met again. What other object brought hin
to Boston | could not learn the next day he re
turned to New York"

THE SUPREME COURT OF ILLINOIS on
SLAVERY.

The Supreme Court of Illinois has lately been
balled on to render a decision Of some Importance.
A stakeholder of Missouri sued the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad for the value of a slave who was
permitted to ride in their cars from Cairo 10 Chi
cage.
The opinions Of the Court is in effect, that the
constitution and laws of Illinois recognize all men
within the States as free men that slavery is an
ms titution Of mere local law ia the States where
it exists, which local law extends to no other
State that the law of Missouri under which the
alleged slave is claimed by the plaintiff has no
force whatever in the State Of Illinois, but is ere
pugnaht to our laws - and that, therefore, the
plaintiff under the law of Illinois, has no prop.
erty in the fugitive, ald can here under State
authority, assert no property il or authority over
him."
The Court further gives the opinion that the
case is one that comes under the jurisdiction Of
the Federal Courts, and that q State tribunal can
not take cOgnizance OF such and concludes
that property in persons being repugnant to our
laws and the genius of our State institutions, our
courts will not enforce, as IA general rule, the laws
of other States recognizing this species of proper
ty where the cause Of action, based upon such
laws, arises in this State"
This is a happy contrast to the decision of the
U. S. in the bred Scott case, and is another asser.
ton of the State Right doctrine. Coming from,
Illinois it is encouraging that the effort Of the
Federal power to subdue the States to its authori
ty will not be uccessful.-PHSjurg Gazette.

mo GROUND TO STAND UPON

The reasons given by the Wisconsin Free Demo
crat, for believing that Senator Douglas will be
'worsted' in his contest with the ultra pro-slavery
Democracy, are these
He has no ground to stand upon. His position
is not one to enlist sympathy or elicit enthusiasm,
because it appeals TO neither side Of the real strife.
In recognizing the right Of slavery, it is but a
halting, halfway, laggard position, as compared
with Buchanan's and the rest of the party, and
will prove as weak and useless as a hating, hest
tating policy usually does,
ANY person who expects that Douglas or any
other man, can sustain himself and build up a
party at this age of the world, on the principle
that stare1y is simply a question of majority and
minority, is mistaken. The strife does not run in
that direction.
The Douglas platform will not come into
power.
Very good reasons, and well expressed. /,
strikes us that the application might be made more
extensive than TO the case Of Senator Douglas.
Does not the description apply to the position OF
ent platfosm? Does it not recognize the right OF
Slavery 10 the slave States? Does not this imply
the principle that slavery is simply q question Of
majority and MINORITY Why and how does the
Republican party find ground to stand upon,
while conceding this right,' to Missouri, any more
than Mr.. Douglass can, while coneeding it to
Kausasf
II, for these reasons. The Douglass platform will
not come into power what are the prospects Of
the Republican party, unless it takes higher
ground? Perhaps the Editor of the Free Demo.
crat, VINO has had some experience, and knows a
thing or two, is gently touching up his Republic
can associates by these suggestions. We hope
they will prost BY them.- Radical Abolti0Hist.

JOSEPH BARKER AMONG THE DEMO.
Gratis.

The Omaha correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, writing under date Of Jan. 18th, Of O
Douglas Democratic Convention in that place, says:
Among the speakers was Joseph Barker, the
English in6del and abolitionis., formerly a CORES.
pendent Of the Boston Liberator, who l believe is
now a resident of this place. Mr.. Barker was in
favor of a Democratic organization. His right to
take part in the proceedings was questioned-but
he replied that as he understood the creed of the
Democratic party, it maintained the right of the
people to govern themselves, and that a man might
be for or against slavery and still be a Democrat.
This was not entirely satisfactory, and he was ask
ed whether he would have voted for Buchanan or
would have voted for the best Democrat" but he
declined stating which of the candidates he con-
sidered the best Democrat. So Barker was left lin
the ring" but his orthodoxy seems to be very
much doubted"

CENTRAL AMERICAN COLONIZATION.

The speech of Eli Thayer which we publish this
week proposes a rival plan with that of the Fill
buster Walker, for the possession of Central Amer.
lea. A plan, peaceful and every way superior, j!
we must have the territory in the march of ina
tional Destiny.
Another member of Congress, in a subsequent
speech proposes a second set Of colonists for this
region. Mr.. Blair Of Missouri made n speech, in
some respects an able one, on the question Of
slavery and The duty of the government and the
country in relation to it. While refraiuing from
any moral condemnation of slavery. lie repre-.
scented it as a burden and curse to the country, one
which should be thrown off, on account of its polit-
icai and pecuniary influences which are evil and on
ly evil to the State. Ale advocated the removal Of
tho slaves from their present locality and proposed
the colonization of Central America by free blacks
from the slave States. Mr.. Blair's plan as we un.
derstand it is, as fast as slaves are emaucipated to
remove them to Central America, perhaps making
emigration a condition of emancipation. There
he proposes that our government should afford
them protection in the enjoyment Of Republican
institutions; but whether as an independent Re
public, or as a new State in our confederacy, We
are not informed. But in either case we can well
understand what sort Of protection Our %national
v%ulture will give this young dove, which il
is proposed shall nestle under its wings. Mr.
Blair f~ortiies his position by showing that distin
guished American Statesmen have hitherto favored
this measure as a necessary accompaniment Of
gradual emancipation, and for that important
movement he thinks the present period especi
ally suspicious.
The New York Post, and Tribune, and some
other Republican papers take occasion while com.
mending Mr.. Blair's proposition, - recommend il
by appeals to the prejudices and falsehoods current
in the country relative to the colored population, a
course utterly unworthy of papers occupying their
position and at entire variance with the facts they
have themselves from time to time published with
regard TO this very class of people, which they now
SO fippantly pronounced worse than useless in
community. For example the New York Post
says:
"Tbe free negroes and those to be freed, are Just
the persons to be sent as pioneers in such q colo.
~nizauon. While as a class, they are worse than
useles here in the United States there they would
be OF incalcnlable benefit both to the country and
to the white emigrant, who, without acclimation
would be unified for the toll to which the negro
seems physically adapted by nature, They would
there find, too, a climate and soil which do not fur.
nish the improvident and u~nthrilty With long
winters and Reluctant crops. They would ALWAYS
have enough to sustain life 10 any part of Central
| America, however Ignorant or idle they might be,

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

without resorting to theft, while their superior ca
pacity to endre labor in hot climates would give
them at least one important advantage in the COM
petition with the white e%migrant, which they do
not possess in any Of the Tree states OF this conied'
eracy.
For all the world just tho viliiications Of the
old slandcrous, slavoholding Colonization Society.
Is it impossible to advocate colonization without
r%esorting to such means? In this short paragraph
the Post manages to give endorsement to almost
the whole catalogue of negro hating, proslavery
objections to the anti-slavery movement, "a worse
than useless class" "improvidcnt" ,"unthrifty" Gig
n%orant', idle" t~hieving. Now according to oui
view of the case improvidence, thriftlessness
idleness, theft and robbery are pre-eminently
the vices of the whites and not of the blacks o.
the slave States. But since the Post and Tribune
prefer the company and lriendshipo of the thrif,les.
narauding whites, it is not marvellous tha'
they should join them in slandering their victims
1t is the legitimate work of the organs of a part,
which has the sclfshness or ignorance to call it
self tho white mans party, under the existing
relations of whites and blacks in this county.
But though we have a most hearty contemp
for this subserviency to popular prejudice
by Mr.. Blair's distinguished e~ulogists, ant
sincerely regret that Mr.. Blair does not him
self take ground against the moral enor
nifty of slavery, which would effectually Gu
off this disgraceful panderiug to it, yet we can ant
d o rejoice he has taken the ground he occupies
lie will be classed by shareholders as the enemy o.
their institution and even'such a speech from sue
a garter in such a place, marks an era in the his
tory Of this agitation and whatever the character
Of its remedy for the evil, it will help to swell tn
importance of the question in public estimation
and hasten its final solution in some form. Tb
Southern newspapers are already expressing thei
displeasure atMr. Blair's proposition, though hithel
to it has received the support of more than on
eminent Shareholder. But then it was in times
quiet in regard to the question, and not as no'
when they fear every additional weight, may prov
the fatal straw to break the camel's back.
