Progress Of the Slave Trade Sentiment,

1he Albany Evening J0ur7sak discuss
ing the progress of The slavery sen,ilneu,
as looking To the re-opening of the slave
trade, concludes It's artIcle as follows:
at Is mol enough to say that the revival
OF the Slave Trade never will be SANCTION
ed because !. would be an outrage upon
me splriL and sentlmeut-uf the age. So il
was said when it WAS proposed to repeal
NE Missouri Compromise TO enable Slave
ry 10 go upon soil from which 1t had been
forever prohibited Soit was said when
1t was proposed 10 enact law imp ,sing
pains and pena..Ics, fines and imprison-
inent, upon whoever should give crust
OF bread 10 tleeIng - fus tive from ser
vice. So /; was niimated that the power
of the General Government would be ex-
eried to force pro-siavery Constitution
upon the people of Kansas; and so II was
SAID when II was first demanded that con-
gress should enact slave code for the ter
rltorles. And yet all these infamous things
have been done or are in the process of
doing. by the Democratic party. Not one
OF them, when fi.st broached. seemed
more likely 10 be consumaled than this
that Is now proposed by the Southern
Commercial Convention"
After the Congressional Slare Code for
the T'rrltories Is enacted, then Will come
The abolition of all laws agaius; Slave
trade! THIS Is the Southern Democratic
platform; and the Democrats of the north
have neither the courage nor the dispos:-
lion 10 refuse wha, their Southern masters
demand
The end is no, yet" 1t was once said
by the great Napoleon that the time was
not far distant when Europe would be
eilher " all Cossacll or all Republican,"
1t is still more distinctly written upon the
page of the future, that this Republic must
one day be either A II Slave or all Free
The shareholders will no: be satisfied un-
I'll every barrier against slavery is broken
down ana provoked by their wicked and
imPudent pertinacity, Freemen will retail
ate by making counter demands until some
Constitutional process shall be devised 10
end the s'rlfe by securing as its Founders
intended, THE REPUBLIc TO FRErDoM."

DEATH OF TIE GIANT PoRr.R-Tbe Iouisville
(hy.) Democrat gives an account of the death
OF the giant Porter In that place. The Demo
crR says he was the tallest man in the world
Mr. Porter was born near Portsmouth, Ohio
and was brought to that city by his parents IL
the following year, since which, except for a
short time when he was on the stage lie has
been living in Louisville He was feet inch
es in height. and when in perfect health weighed
Bearly 800 pounds 1t is remarkable that for
the first ii years Of his life he was quite small
for his age, so mach so that he was often en-
gagged to ride races on the old track where the
Elm Tree Garden now is. At II he was APP
prenticed at cooperIng, and his remarkable
growth commenced. 1t Is stated that the most
he ever grew In one week Vas one inch. 1t was
his habit while growing to measure every Sat
urday night, and his own testimony and that
of his family and friends are evidence of this
remarkable fact. He soon got So tall that it
was impossible Tor hlm to cooper barrels, and
he was employed on hogsheads. This however
became equally impossible, owing to his remark
able height, and he was compelled to abandon
the business. He then engaged in keeping and
driving hacks In the years 1896 and 1887 he
went East and appeared on the stage in
two pieces written especially for him. He
turned TO Louisville. and few wears later
bought the coffee house which he was keeping
at the time of his death. Several annecdoteA
are told of him. One of these we viii relate
At the time that Charles Dickens came to this
country there perfect furor to see Boz. -
As he passed through the canal at Louisville he
sent messenger 10 Porter, intImatIng a wish
10 see him Porter replied to the messenger
that 9" II Mr.. Dickens wishes TO see more
than | to see him he will come to me-" Mr.
Dickens took the hint, and ii was during the
con- ersation that Porter told the novelist that
while he was growing his mother had TO sew 4
foot on his panialoons every night.
