TheV'd Like to Try.

General -, of Mississippi, was of
the old school and the best stamp. He
treated his slaves kindly, gave them
abundant provision and clothing, and for
bid his overseer to chastise them without
his permission. The General was q
Church member, and daily had family
prayers lie was anxious to have his
slaves attend family worship, and many of
them did SO for a time At length, he
was surprised and grieyed to see that they
all abscntcd themselves from family wor-
ship. What it meant, he could not con-
lecture. All his efforts to get them in,
proved abortive. They seemed detcrmin-
ed not to come The General had trus-
ty female slave, who was the wife of man
belonging to a neighboring plantation
This mans name was Isaac. He was a
faithful, trusty servant, and was promoted
BY his colorcd brethren to the dignity of
an cxhortcr. Isaac usually was permit
ted to 20 to the Generals plantation on
Saturday night, and spend the Sabbath
with his wife On Sunday evening he
went into prayers, but none of the rest.
After prayers, the General said to Isaac
that he was much gricved that his SER
wants would not come to prayers. "IOu
sec, Isaac, there is not one in Now,
there must be some reason, and | want to
know what it is. | thought Polly might
have told you" Isaac was good deal
embarrassed said he was sorry it vas so;
he told Polly they ought to come in.
"But," said the General, "you know,
Isaac, what's the matter. | won't insist
on your telling me, but | would like to
have you" "Well, Massa,'' said Isaac,
81 will tell you, but you know l think
they do wrong in not coming in. They
say they don't believe you are a Chris
tian" "Why,' said the General, 81 an
surprised they think I'm no: Christian.
Don't | trea. them well, feed them and
olothc them, and forbid the oversccr to
abuse them ?" "Yes, Massa,' said Isaac,
81 know you do all this, but they think
there is something farther back-they
say if Massa was a Christian, he would
give them their freedom "Why, Isaac,
what do you mean -? they couldn't take
care of themselves" "lcs, Massa, said
Isaac, "BuT THEY'D LIKE TO " Bos-

THE CHRONICLE.
MONDAY. JAN. sS, IS5S.
Change of State Administration.

This day closes the term for which
JAMES POLLOCK was chosen to the high
est Office within the gift of the people of
Pennsylvania. His administration will
long be remembered for the complication
of difficulties which surrounded it, and the
comparative success which has attended
it. With Legislatures generally hostile
to him politically, he has yet succeeded in
accomplishing most Of the measures con-
tcmplated by him. Personally, he has
won universal esteem for the purity of
his motives and the afFability of his dcport-
ment. In the first Liquor Law and the
non-eec.ion of U. s. Senator in 1855, as
well as in some appointments, many Of
Gov. Pollock best friends think that he
erred, at the same time that they give
him full credit for roctitudc of intention,
and ascribc to him only those differences
of opinion which always may arise on
practical questions, in which he may have
Judged rightly after all, altho' they think
he arrived at wrong results.
The Sale of the Main Line Of the Public
Wcrks-Rcduction Of the State Debt
Measures for the Efficiency of the Common
School System advocacy of Pennsylvania
interests on the Tariff and Slavery qucs-
tions-thesc and other truly American and
Republican issues he has urged with an
eye single to the best interests Of "thc
whole country" and with marked ability
and efficiency.
For the third time in his not long life,
James Pollock rctires to the proud ranks
of American citizenship, with nougLt but
bis talents and his virtues to distinguish
him from the mass of equal sovrcigns
among whom be may move. We doubt
doubt not his choice is for the delights
of private life in preference to the cares
and perplcxities of high official station. 1t
is understood that he will resume the
practice of the law.
WILLIAM +. PACKER will tomorrow
take the Gubernatorial chair With less
votes and less majority than Pollock had,
yet Packers majority is ample, and he is
abundantly sustained by the Legislature,
and BY all the political departments of the
Government. Whatever he does that is
right, We shall rejoice in as sincerely as
though he had been our first choice. His
Inaugural Address we anticipate in season
for our inside impression, and thereby to
learn something of his probable course on
the living issues of the day, Judging
from the past, We should doubt whether
he would advance the divorce of Public
Works from the Administration, while we
feel confident no backward steps will be
taken in the cause of Free Education.
$2,23I,777 81.
The above figures indicate the amount
which the State Debt-(a debt that un-
der every Locofoco Administration since
the days of George Wolfhad been largely
increased has been reduced during the
three years of Gov Pollock's term Add
to this the s7,500,G00 which the Public
Works sold for, and we have reduction
of TEN MILLIONS of Indebtedness.
We hope-but hardly expect-Gov.
Packer may be so successful as to bring
about still further reduction of this bur
den, so that the happy time shall again
arrive ",rhea Psnny1eqnia is out of deJt."
