To say that our interest for the success
and welfare of the paper ceases, would
not be true !; for we have grown up with
it for many long years. We have off,
ciated at times for the last sixteen or
eighteen years, as printer, publisher, aud
editor, and from the steady and increasing
patronage we have received from the town
and County. we have been encouraged to
hope that our humble efforts were not in
vain. The patronage that we have re-
ceived from the people has been sufficient
to pay the current expenses, and make it
a remunerative business. Our Republi.

would not forget that there are those in
other parties that have also taken our pat

Connecticut.

The election in Connecticut. which took
place place on Monday Of last week, was
nm event which was looked forward to
with no little anxiety by all parties. This
has long been one Of the most closely COL.
tested States of New England, and there
are districts in it which were not regarded
as certain for the right. The Admins.
tration had men in nomination Of great
wealth and personal popularity forces
were at work of no ordinary kind, designed
if such a thing were possible to return to
the next Congress some aid to the DEM
ocracy. But Connecticut is wide awake
and the result is an entire Republican
delegation to Congress. This finishes out
New England if we may include R. l..
which is morally certain. No friend to

resent even one of its districts in Con.

The whole question Of the practicahility OF
freeing ourselves from commercial dependence
upon the North, depends at last on the will
iinguess of our people to deny themselves, and
suffer some temporary inconveniences for the
sake OF the ultimate good. Our fathers were
capable of this seif-sacrifice and by it, as much
as by their valor, achieved the independence

crate race, and unable to retain the liberties
which: they acquired for us. Weknow prom

BILE. when it cannot be gotten from the South.
This gentleman is not very prominent at pub
lie meetings, but he shows his faith by his
works and if we oil had the same spirit OF self
denial and self-sacriice, the independence and
prosperity of the South would be placed on
an i'm ,,ra1uable foundation.

The New York Herald publishes secret cir
cuiar, which ii is evident the abo,:.ionists have
printed in the North, and sent an agent with
II over the South to mail it in different towns,
In order 10 make II appear that ii emanated
from Southern mel. This circular is ad.
dressed TO the Irish In the North, invoking
them to burn factories and granaries in retalia-
ton for incendiarism at the South. The Her
old con jectnres that the objects of this were
to disgust the Irish with Southern men, by the
net that they singled them out as capable of
spch atrocious crimes, and TO excite new in
digrstion In the North against both Irishmen
and Shareholders.
The Herald is right In supposing that such a
document could never have emanated from the
South. Incendiarisn1s not Us mode Of waging
warfare. It Is hard to tell which most to de-
spise In these fanatics. their hypocrisy or NAL.

n ina, able journal, the Pianserss Nd Ades-

mi,ted In Maryland by former owner, out
had been ordered 10 be sold By tho Orphans

doubted and admitted law Of Maryland Aheys
therefore, remained slaves for suen Term, py
the law OF Maryland, notwitnstanuihs the
manumission. Some time in last Juhe a parry
from Maryland, among whom was man
named MYERS, was employed 10 orihg .hem
hack from pennsyivanis which they did A
few days after this, party from Fennsyiva-
~. with the sheriff of Cumberland county,
c,ma down TO Maryland, and by fraud and de-
c.n,ion Induced MYERS to cross from Carroll
county, Md. to Adams county, Pa, where he
was immediately seized and carried on to the
ail at Carlisle, where he remained for some
time. Ia August, he, with others, was indicted
for kidnapping under the laws of Pennsyiya-
mis-, convicted aud sentenced to the peniten-
tiary.
This trial. says the Advocate, was under
a Pennsylvania statute, which punisnes the
abduction of free persons of color as kianap-
pinc-and the essence of such prosecution IL,
consequently, the freedom OF the negroes
Far 81 they are no: free but escaped slaves,
tben they can be re-taken by their owners or

,Iarvland law could settle, under which law,
in This ease. as has been said, the negroes were
undoubtedly slaves The effect of the deei-
sion therefore. is that any abolition jury can,
by arbitrarily finding negroes 10 be Tree, actu-
aliy set them free to all intents and purposes,
Notwithstanding they may be slaves IN TACT !
and may punish severely their owners WAC
may attempt their rescue. In other words,
citizens of Maryland, having, under the laws
OF the United States, the nndonbted right, by
themselves or their agents, TO reclaim their
runaway slaves from Pennsylvania, can only
exercise their right at the almost certain risk
Of having themselves or their agent, as the
case may be, lodged in the peniteniiary OF that
State as feions. This is, therefore, practical
notification OF rights under the Federal law !;
a,... is of an extreme Importance to the people
Of MARYLAND whose northern boundary is co.
Incident with that of Pennsylvania. 1t is a
practical invitation TO The slaves to escape TO
that State, under the assurance that, SO far
from being delivered up under the Fugitive
Slave Law the pen tentiary alone awaits
those who shall attempt 10 rescue them.
