practice with the authorities at Washington, that
all the police officials shall be slave catchers. A
few days ago, when u bill was under consiJera-
ton for 0he organization Of the police of the city,
MIR. Giddings offered The following amendment
and remarks but it was voted down in less time
than it took to offer it:
Provided, That said auxiliary guard shall not
be employed in the arrest of any person except
those charged with crime Or o,hor offences against
the law.
Mr.. Chairman / do this merely for the purpose
OF stating a fact. | have this morning received
the report of an attorney employed by myself to
investigate a case where a freeman is now in
prison, and sentenced to be sold unless his friends
come forward and pay the expenses Of his impris-
onment. My attorney, employed for that pur-
pose, has found witnesses who will testify under
oath that the man who is imprisoned has been a
freeman from his childhood up. | state this fact
that northern men may know that in this bill we
are paying northern money to involve northern
honor, and to imprison aud sell frecmen into
slavery.
ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM SLAvERY.-Just
previous to the arrival of the steamer Jacob
Strader from Louisville, on Saturday morning,
a line, negro, who gave his name as George Wash
lngton, was found secreted amongst some furni-
ture and wood. All that was seen of him was his
boots, which happened to protrude u little too far,
and on pulling them from their hiding place, they
were followed by the negro. According to his
own story, he was a slave owned by Simpson,
Peters &c, of New Orleans, and a few days ago
secTeted himself on board Of a steamer leaving
that port and rode to some place below Louisville,
where he went ashore and walked to that city.
Going on board the Strader unobservod, he secreted
himself, and was rapidly making his way to the
soil OF freedom, when his welllaid scheme was
entirely frustrated by the steamer Stopping upon
the Kentucky side Of the river, and the conhne
ment of the negro in the Jail of Covington to
await orders from his owners - Cincinnati Gazette

CROPS IN SoUru CARoLINA.-Tho Charleston
Carolinian, of the 9th ult,, says:
The crops throughout the district are more
promising than they have been for years. We
have conversed with many of our farmers and
from them we learn that they have never before
seen SO promising a crop of wheat as that now
growing. The crop of 1857 was regarded as ex-
ceedingly fine, but from all We can learn, it is not
to be compared with that coming on. Corn, and
In many places, cotton, was doing remarkably
well previous to the present cold spell, but we re-
greet to learn that cotton has been killed by the
frost OF Saturday last. By reason of the exces,
slVe quantity OF rain which has fallen during the
past month, it has been utterly impossible to plant
low grounds, or even to prepare them for plant.

will be the sole reliance for corn.

Nor should history forget to record that, as in

band, the free negroes of the colony had their
representatives.. For the right of free negroes to
bear arms in the public defense was, at that day,

other rights. They took their place not in a sep.
