In 1885, Samuel Robinson was indebted to
Jesse Hunt in the sum of 800, and being un-
able to discharge it otherwise, he obtained or

-sdfy after they ought to have been dead and
turned to ashes and we are yet to receive the
first particle of compensation. Let us pause
and consider whether it is good policy to con-
tinue this course forever Let us say to those
States for whose supposed interest and benefit
slavery has been so long maintained, preserve
your system if you will, let it wear out your en-
ergies, corrupt your families, and weaken your
prosperity, till the crack of doom; but as for
us and our house, we will serve the Lord.
The case seems to us a very plain one. A
mans right to himself is not question for the
courts to determine The idea of it is one of
the facts of human consciousness of which no
man can wholly divest himself, whatever may
be the decisions of courts and commissioners
1t is consistent with every mans divinely i'm
planted ideas of right and wrong and, fortu-
nately for legislators, it is in harmony with
the theory and the earlier and better practice
of the government. If 1T is asked what is the
exigency for statute of this kind, we answer
that, under the recent perversions of law and
justice by the federal government, no man who
has once been a slave is safe on the soil of the
United States 1t is in the power of Massa-
chusetts to set up here legal barrier, across

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

The public sentiment of Massachusetts, has
about reached a state of maturity which will
justify the dispensation of equal civil rights to
all men, except maniacs and felons. Various
inequalities have, at one time or another, scar
red our statute books-some of them imposed
by the State, some by the general government.
Nearly all the restrictions over which the State
had any direct CONTROL have been summarlly
abolished The shadow of religious persecu-
ton faded out long ago The unreasonable
jealousy of foreigners is, we confidently hope,
on its journey to the shades. Before the law,
the free descendant of the African stands on an
equal footing with the consummate Saxon.
Whenever the general government has been
disposed to interfere, our Legislatures have
been almost always ready to set themselves
right by establishing its own tests of citizen
ship and manhood.
There is one step more which it will be at
once consistent, decorous, and becoming for us
to take. We say it will be, because it gratifies
us to believe that the present Legislature is
prepared to enact law extending the privi-
leges of personal liberty to all persons who
shall be in the State till they forfeit them by
violation of any of the statutes. Every child
in the land is taught to believe that the right
to liberty is among the inalienabe rights; that
it is a necessary condition of individual respon-
sibility, and part of the memorable logic of
Gods government over the world But the
child no sooner arrives at manhood than he be-
gins to be troubled about his constitutional
obligations" and to question whether the les
sons he has learned are not "glittering general
tiles" after all; whether the disinterested and
patriotic owners of plantations in South Caro-
lima and Mississippi are not better expounders
of the limitations and restrictions of human
rights than Jefferson Madison, and the Adams
es. 1t is time that these cobwebs which are
ingeniously knit at every cross-road and voting
precinct in the free States, should be wholly
swept away.
Within her own boundaries, South Carolina
is independent of Massachusetts, Her morals,
her institutions, her laws, are all her own.
The same reasons which would justify her in
extending the spirit of her laws into Massachu-
sets, would justify us in extending ours into
South Carolina. 1t would be no more than a
just and courteous reciprocation of offices.
We attempted such an interchange once, to
our cost. 1t would have been better for us to
have staid at home, and minded our own bust
ness. The laws of South Carolina for the pro-
lection of slave property, extend into every
State in the Union except Wisconsin; but an
ambassador of any free State cannot, with i'm
punity, prosecute claim in behalf of one of
his fellow citizens whom any body in South
Carolina chooses to steal.
We do not refer to the fact as a reason for
selfdefensive legislation. The impulse of re-
- is the unworthiest of all impulses, and

NEW HAMPsHrRE.

The first State election of the year takes
place in New Hampshire to-day. The Repub-
licans stormed and captured this Gibraltar of
the Democracy, four years ago, when Pierce,
Douglas, and the other leaders whom the gods
had destined for destruction, were engaged in
their mad scheme Of overthrowing the Missou-
ri Compromise. The Democrats have since
fought calamity to recover their lost ground,
but without effect. 1t is said that the hope of
rejuvenating the blasted fortunes of Mr. Pierce
10 one of the chief causes Of their vigilance in
the present contest. If they could once more
enroll themselves among Democratic States
which will happen when their mountains of
granite bow their heads to the sands Of the
Connecticut yalley-they indulge the vain hal
Inclination that their former idol might be set
up in the Charleston Convention, and become
their leader in the contest of 1860. SO it used
to be the practice-and we are not sure but
that it prevails in some heather countries to-
day-to set up wooden images and mud stat
ues in the public places, whittier foolish people
thronged FOR purposes of worship
The parties, however, are 50 far separated
In point Of numbers as 10 make the defeat of
the Democracy reasonably certain. Since the
glorious succession of triumphs which follow
ed the march of the Republicans in 1886,
they have numbered about 5000 voters. The
Democrats last year had not far from 81 600

shire were like New York or Ohio, where,
without apparent cause, from $4,000 to 5000
votes have been known to change in single

FRANKLIN COUNTY.

A somewhat important pauper case between
Amherst and Shelburne, has just been decided.
Amherst claimed of Shelburne $1,000 paid to
the State Lunatic Hospital for the support OF
Norman Smith, a lunatic pauper. Prior to
1871, the settlement of the family was IN Shell
burne, but in that year, the father gained a
settlement in Amherst, the pauper being in his
9th year. Shelburne commended that Norman
was at twenty-one years of age lunatic, and
had so remained ever since, and that conse-
quently, he was in law minor and his settle
ment followed that of his father. The case
turned on this point, and Shelburne got YER
dict The costs to the town, will, however, be
about $1,000 more than is legally taxable, but
the future support of the pauper, as well as the
past, will come upon Amherst.

SMALL Pox.-For few weeks there have
been occasional cases of small pox or varioloid
in the city, but not to an extent to create any
alarm, or to make the Board of Health suppose
any special measures were necessary to cir
cumscribe its limits. The occurrence, how
ever, of two deaths by the disease, the last
week, and particularly of one of them-that of
Mr. George f. Moore-stimulated the fears of
those who were uniformed, or rather misin-
formed as to the true state of the case, and
gave rise to unfounded and ridiculously ex-
travagant rumors, respecting the prevalence of
the disease. Similar reports, we are inform
ed, have prevailed to a considerable extent in
the neghboring towns. In consequence of
these reports, thorough investigation of the
matter was made yesterday, and the result is,
that there are fewer cases now existing than
there have been on some former occasions,
when no serious or alarming consequences fol-
lowed From inquiries of all the physicians,
it appears, that, in population of some $4,000,
there are now nine cases of varioloid and three
of genuine small pox. The Board of Health
yesterday look all necessary precautloiiaiy
measures, and red flags will be suspended
wherever cases exist.
From this it will be seen that, while some
measures of precaution are proper, there is no
occasion, whatever, for alarm, or for any of
our citizens or neighbors to omit their usual
attention to business, wherever occasion may
call them, except where the signals of danger
are displayed

10 A Boston paper, speaking of Mrs Ma
creadys recitation of the Midsummer Nights
Dream in that city, (the same she gives here

mrs. Macready reced, with appropriate ac
ton, Shakspeare's comedy of Midsummer Nights

six personages and the most opposite shades of char
acter, from the gentle bewitching Hernia down ia
the rough and pompous Bottom and the feeble Star.

yet without the aid Of a single piece of music or q
second person in any way, this gifted lady went on
for two hours and half enchanting the attention OF
an audience composed of YOUTH fashion, middle
age, and gray-haired. We say, therefore, il was 4

to move them but they stay moved when the
convulsion is over. The follies and crimes of
the SD Congress, and of the New Hampshire
President, shook the party to its foundation,
and sent something less than fifth part of it
entirely over to the ranks of the opposition.
And no counteracting forces have yet been sut-
ficient to effect their return. The decree which
went forth that year was final. The prospect
for the election of three Republican Congress
men is very good, though no stone has been
left unturned to secure their defeat. We hope
to announce, tomorrow morning, a complete
Republican victory in the Granite State.
