1.-THE condition of bondage in which the African
race is held in of the States IF the Union, has
been regarded by liberal and enlightened statesmen
in every part of the world defect or blemsh in
the faiE fabric of liberty erected in America"
The above is an extract Of speech of Mr.. BELLS
delivered in the Senate of the United States in the
midst of heated discussion on the slavery question
conducted by the abolticnists in that body with pc
culisr bitterness. We repudiate the sentiment
which Mr.. BELLS language conveys, as unworthy of
q Southern statesman unfriendly to the institution
q slavery and calculated to encourage the growth
Of Gnti-slaVery feelings
The AerS, defending Mr.. BELL contends that he
was only asserting fact and asks us if we deny it.
We do most unhesitatingly, earnestly and emphati-
ea1y deny that the condition of bondage in which
the African race is held in some of the States of
the Union has been regarded by liberal and
enlightened Statesmen in every part of the
world, as defect or blemish in the fair fabric of
Liberty erected in America The deols ration is
untrue as conveying q condemnation of slavery
1t is untrue also as the assertion of general truth
for we do not believe that the Statesmen of the
South have ever believed it immoral to hold slaves
notwithstanding the senior editor of the Nrs does
maintain that his newspaper-the ReDlbHcaa-
most truly reflected the sentiment of the Stat, of
Tennessee in 1884" when it asserted that the M

gives little encouragement to the hope that his ex
celleney may be influenced by any considerations
either to pardon or commute the sentence Of John
Brown il says that the letters he is constantly re-
ceving interceding for the exercise of the execu-
tive cemency, make their appeals through the fears
of personal violence, but the most of them appeal
TO the magaanimity, the kindheartedness, and the
ambition of the executive How little is the charac

GoNE OVER TO THE ESEMY.-We publish this morn
ing an extract of a speech by Hon. F. p. Stanton,
delivered recently at LecomptOn Kansas. in which
he formally takes leave of the Democratic party
and espouses the cause Of the Black Republicans.
We had heard it intimated some months ago
that he intended to do so, and hence We are not at
all taken by surprise and can only express our re-
greet. He is in pursuit, as he has always been, of
his private and individual fortunes, and under the
plea OF principle he throws himself iutO the arms
OF the stronger party in order that his aspirations
may the more certainly be promoted, Let him go.
We will not mourn over the loss of ope we can so
well and reasonably spare-Nemphis appeal,

not failed to act upon all the importan,
measures before the people, and we
think the Republican members, with
very few exceptions, can meet their
constituents with confidence and re-
eeiye the credit of having faithfully
discharged their duties.
Concerning the last hours of the
session, the Lansing correspondent of
the AdUertiser says There are a few
private and comparatively .unimport-
ant bills yet to be disposed of if they
are not permitted to sleep for two
years more, / have never seen the
last night of the session pass off so
orderly, either here or in the Legisla-
tiire OF any other State, as it did this
evening. 1t is almost an universal Gus
tom to devote it to fun and tumult.
but, with the exception of throwing a
few paper balls, everything was con-
Quoted as orderly, and business was
dispatched as rapidly, as usual, greatly
to the disappointment of a large num-
Der of ladies and other spectators who
anticipated the accustomed afterpiece
Of a grand farce.

Persons who send Newspapers
and Pamphlets to Europe, should be
careful not to enclose them in wrappers,
as it subjects them to letter postage,
generally so high that the papers are
refused by the persons to whom they
are directed. A gentleman, justreturn-
ed from England, informs us that he
saw baskets of American newspapers
and pamphlets in one of the English
Post offices, which had been thrown
aside on this account. If the news
papers are tied around with piece
OF twine or cord, they will 90 as well
as it in wrappers, and the postage is
then the ordinary price for newspapers.
The fact that many newspapers and
pamphlets fail to reach persons in
England and France, to whom they are
directed, may be accounted for in this
way.

The New southern Test.

The Charleston Nescs, "a Hammond
organ,) denounces Douglas as wolf
in sleeps clothing, and is indignant at
the attentions he has received at Mem
Iphis and New Orleans. The heaviest
batteries at the South, are aimed at the
doctrines Of Douglas Freeport speech,
and at his neglect to follow out the
bred Scott decision to its legitimate
consequence, by fayoring slave code
for the Territories This is the test
the step in advance" which even the
conservative Democracy of the South
are determined to insist on. The Nescs
says:
Judge Douglas would deny, and
properly, that Congress had the right
to intervene against any property or
legal right. But can he deny the power,
the right, the duty of Congress to in
tervene for their protection, wherever
floats the flag which is. the ensign of
that Constitution? Should Congress
intervene for the protection, if needed,
of Northern property and not South
ern That IS the question which we
call upon this willy demagogue to am
swer. Have the Constitution and the
Bred Scott decision no supreme autho-
rity in a Territory, which he undoubt-
edly AYERS and argues? Let him an
swer this categorically. He must admit
they have. Ii so, then slave property
has protection other than local law,
and it becomes the duty of Congress
% 2,rooiac by lac for its enforcement
n all instances where it is needed, as
s the case with slave property.

The Insult.

The Spanish Minister at Washing
ton, has made the statement that if the
Cuba appropriation sSo,ooo,ooo bill
pass Congress, he will demand his pass
ports and go home. The Presidents
recommendation in regard to the pur-
chase of Cuba, has excited the highest
Indignation on the part of the Spanish
Press and authorities. The old Cas-
titan blood is fully aroused, and the
Spaniards threaten to take up arms
and defend their rights. They do mot
intend to part with any portion of their
domain. The following is a specimen
of the language of one of their writer's,
which doubtless expresses the senti-
ments of the Spanish nation:
Are there still in Spain men who
believe that the United States are able
to snatch Cuba from us? Our national
pride rebels against such an idea. The.
nation which first planted the Cross on
the American Continent, which OYER
threw Empires, and then gave them
civilization and her laws, which still
waves her glorious standard over the
splendid beauty of the Antilles, can
never believe that day will come when
The Appalachian Vulture will pounce
lpon Cuba. Spain would conquer or die
before she permitted such catastro-
'he, and would even upon burning
'uins, wave till the last, the standard
If old Spain, standard which NAV
perhaps be torn by the artillery Of
hosesmercenaries, without God and
without law, but which, till the last.

Citizens OF Kansas in a Missouri Jail---
Threats to Burn Them at the Stake

Some days ago, we published an
account of the capture of several runa
way negroes in Kansas, by a party Of
armed men from Platte county, Mis-
souri,, and also the arrest, without war.
rant, of DR.. boy and his son, citizens
OF Kansas, upon the charge of having
kidnapped the former These men,
together with the negroes were taken
to Missouri by night marches. The
Leavenworth Times of the goth ult..
gives the following account of what
occurred after their arrival at w eston /:
On arriving at Weston, DIR. boy and
his son were subjected to every con-
ceivable insult and indignity. They
were refused a cup of water, and thrust
the felons, into a dirty cell A mob of
Westonian ruffians collected about
tauntlng the prisoners and infiicting
severe personal injuries. In q day or
two the kidnapped white men were
brought before magistrate. The
trial was held in large hall secured for
the accommodation of the rabbIe, who
desired to lynch ourinnocent and manly
citizens DIR. boy plead for himself
and son. He made a most noble effort.
No charges would be, could be, per-
ferred against them. If he had COM
mitted any crime he claimed the pric-
ilege of suffering for it in Kansas, from
which he had been so unjustly wrested,
and to which he looked for support
and confidence.
The result of the mock trial was,
as a matter of course, that both the
prisoners were remanded to the county
jail, at Platte city-the yilest of all
vile holes in the border.
Both the Doctor and his son were
hand-cuffed, mounted behind niggers,
surrounded by hooting crowd, and
marched through the public streets. |
On arriving in front of the Jail the Doc
tor raised his voice to protect, in the
name of a Kansas freeman, against the
outrages heaped upon him. His son,
too, also essayed to speak. All that
either asked was hearing and fair
trial. The crowd would listen to no
thing, and bestowed kicks and blows
upon the manacled and helpless pris-
oners, who were finally slowed away
in a dungeon-like cell. Avote was thenfl
taken as to what should be their fate.
1t was first decided that they should
be burned at the stake. The next de-
cision was that they should be lynched,
and yesterday afternoon was. fixed upon
as the time. In the meantime, the
prisoners are kept without proper food
Or attention, aud subjected to every
and inconceivable outrage.

JAPAN A PARAp1sE For OLD MAIDS

JAPAN PARADISE FOE OLD MAIDS.
A prominent feature of our social
system is left out by their domestic
code, and that is old maids. No single
women are allowed in Japan; probably
because they are considered dangerous
members of society. Every man is
allowed one legal wife, and as many
second wives as his means will permit
him to support. The second wives are
selected by law by the poorer classes
OF society whose relatives are unable
to maintain them, and the children are
all adopted by the legal wife, who is
the only acknowledged mother. The
old rule is, therefore, reversed in Japan
where, instead of a boy not knowing
his own father. hundreds do not know
their own mother.
