The Sioux City left for the South last evening,

tursd by the Mayor of Weston. They are bound

connection with the Underground Railroads.
yet.-LeauenwOrM Times.
So the human chattels have been shipped to the
great New Orleans market. We talk of the Afri-
can Slave Trade as horrible, and our la VS. make it
piracy, but how is it a whit worse than this trans.
action? A portion of these colored people had never
been slayes-all of them were kidnapped, Just as
negroes are kidnapped in Africa. They were sold
for gain, just as the p%iratical slave dealer sells his
captiyes for gain. In q moral view both transactions
are identical, and both most abhorrent. Indeed,
in many respects, this Missouri business is much
the blacklist. The kidnapped negroes from Africa
are generally savages, while these people were
civilized, had tasted Of the sweets of liberty, and
probably had flowing in their veins some Of the
best white blood of Missouri-quite likely that of
their own masters. Missouri planters sending of
their own children to the shambles of the great
slave mart Of the nation, are entitled, we think, to
a guilty pre- commence over their brethren, the slave
dealers of the African coast.
But there is a compensation in all these matters,
a retribut:on to come-outraged justice satisfying
herself for the wrongs committed on her children.
These thirteen kidnapped and exiled ~ones-these
sold and marketed human beings these feeling,
acting, thinking chaaels, may. and probably will
pine and waste away amid the deadly rice swamps
of the extreme South, finding their humble graves
along the shores of the gulf, or on the banks of the
Red river; yet wherever they 60, they shall be
the apostles of that liberty from which they have
been so cruelty torn, In the lonely cabins Of that
land of darkness and moral death, they shall tell

MISS SARAH P. REMoND IN LIVERPOOL

We copy with great pleasure the following no
tice from the Liverpool Mercury of the 9th ult.
A LADY LEcTURING ON AMERICAN SLAvERY.-
Miss Remond, of Salem, Massachusetts last night
addressed, at the Tuckerman Institute, Bedford
street, an English audience, for the first time upon
the subject of American Slavery. The Rev. w
Ii. Claiming presided, and a crowded assembly
greeted the lady with the utmost enthusiasm. The
chairman briefly introduced her as one who, with
her family, had long taken a deep and most active
part in the abolition movement-as a countrywo,
man who had consecrated her best gifts to the
cause OF heroism and humanity, and he urged that
as q woman, without at all feeling that they sac.
rifced their womanhood, appeared on the public
stage to rehearse q fictitious tragedy, there was no
reason why q woman should not speak in public of
Ia real tragedy, and on a subject upon which she
50 deeply felt. Miss Remond then proceeded to
deliver her address and though it occupied about
an hour and a half in the delivery, she retained
throughout the closest attention of her audience as
she SO eloquently depicted the wrongs of the slave,
dwelt in tho most touching manner upon the So
cial degradation of her sisters in slavery, expressed
her unbounded indignation at the apathy which
tut pIOlOoolhS tAiOOHhOut u huOl U
the United States as a body manifested on the
subject and concluded with an earnest appeal for
the moral and religious sympathy and influence Of
free England in the abolition movement. Miss
Remond is an able advocate Of the cause she has
espoused she speaks strongly because she no
doubt feels strongly upon the subject on which she
speaEs, and is eloquent because she makes no ef-
fort to be so. She has q clear and musical voice,
a distinct utterance, and-if it be not a needless
remark of a lsdy-we may add she has at her com
mand a great flow OF language, for she speak.
without any assistance from notes, and is never a
a loss for words admirably calculated to express hel
sentiments. Her repeated quotations from the
public addresses OF American senators on the sub
ject Of slavery display q most ~retentive memory,
whilst the whole Of her address as plainly denotes
that she has paid no little attention to general lit
%erature, and particularly TO the writings Of the po-
cts Of this and her native country. AT the close,
as frequently throughout her lecture. she was rap.
turously applauded, and on the motion Of the Rev.
s. A. Steinthal. seconded by Mr.. Wilson, a cordial
vote of thanks was unanimously passed to her, and
she was requested TO be the medium for conveying
the sympathy of those present to the American alb
olitionists in the work in which they are engaged.
Thanks were then voted to Tho reverend chairman,
and the proceedings terminated.

Again, abolish the Rate-Bill system,
and our schools will, in general, be far
more efficient. Most of the schools, par
ticularly in the rural districts of Western
Michigan, under our present educational
system, are necessarily vacant during the
greater portion of the year, from the fact
that many Of the settlers are but just
commencing life in the woods, and can i'll
afford 10 build school-houses, and employ
teachers who are really efficient, even for
three months of the year-whereas, if this
relic of that old feudal-like system were
abolished, and the broad acres of the rich
speculator on every side of them-becom-
ing every day more valuable from Che hardy
toll of the settler-should contribute
something toward the employment Of a
good, efficient teacher, for nine months

the subject is receiving merited attention,
not only from the Educational Associa-

"NEws" papers, of almost every kind,

attentive. Do not infer from this that !

tisemonts, correspondence, editorial, ETC.,

that had perused our county papers. The
rare inducements, uncommon advantages,
and brilliant prospects of future success,
for an ambitious Journalist, presented two
years since, by Ottawa county, for Re-
publican press, have been embraced and
run clean into the ground, by chat great
curiosity, the OhaWa Clarion. have
not seen its like before may not see
its like again.
The dens of infamy, sinks of corrup-
tion, prevalence of immortality, vice, and
intemperance, with their accompanying
evils, at proper times are good subjects
for Journalists; but to play the tell-tale,
and even guess. at that-supposing Pi-
per's dog stole piece of beet, at the
market, because he was seen trotting
down street with it in his mouth, and
other like nonsense, will kill any journal.
What care we which cat was successful in
the row at Grand Haven, on the night of
the 10th, or whether that dose of strych-
nine killed TOMS puppy. Suppose " Don
did turn up" or turn down, or did "wig-
wag," or called at "our" Sanctum sane
torum, or didn't, il is of little consequence
10 us; and it is equally unimportant
whether Smith brought Gus" large
cabbage, or small one; or whether eve"

Shall the Death Penalty be Restored

y
Shall the Death Penalty be Restored!
We answer uuhesitatiugly and emphati-
cally NO. We look upon the practice of
putting a rope around the neck of a fel-
low mortal, however great his crime may
be, and thereby hanging him in the pre-
sence Of a few spectotors called in to wit
ness his dying agony until he is dead,
dead,' degrading to the very namP Of hu-
christianity as taught by our savior M
his memorable sermon on tho Mount,
and one of the basest relics of the dark
ages.
The only scripture we ever heard ad-
vanced in its favor is this: Whose she'd
deth mans blood by man shall his blood
be shed" and upon which the law is al
legged TO be based, addressed by God to
Noah. The same principle was contained
in the Levitical law, which says "an eye
for an eye, and a tooth for TOOTH" but this
our Savior taught in his sermon above re-
ferred 10 was not the principle OF his
Kingdom, and the old Levitical jurispru-
dence ceasing to exist at the ushering in
ofthe new Dispensation, that requirements
of the blood of the murderer ceased to be
of virtue and effect, and in no wise oblig-
atory. Again, there is two-fold object in
the proper punishment of persons guilty
of capital offences so termed, land we
would by no means screen the guilty
from suffering a penalty commensurate
with the crime) to wit: First, to deter
others from the commission of q similar
offence; and secondly, to rid society of the
malefactor. And why does not incar-
ceration for LITE in solitary confinement,
effect this two-fold object as well as TAX
ing the lye-which is Gods peculiar pro-
violence to give and we believe to take
away. 1t is difficult for even the wisest
student in mental philosophy to decide
which is the dearer to mankind in gener-
al, life or liberty; particularly when that
existence is miserably dragged out with
no object to greet the vision but the
granite walls of solitary dungeon.
Again, most crimes of this nature are
committed under circumstances that show
no reflection on the part of the criminal
as to after consequences or penalties,
and the fear of the gallows or the dun
geon would equally avail nothing, and
we are prepared 10 show, that in those
States whore the death penalty is in ac-
tive operation, crime prevails TO ms great
mn extent if not to greater, than in
those States where that penalty is abol-
ished and solitary imprisonment for life
We hope, if bill is brought
before our State Legislature, at its pre-
sent session, as contemplated, for the res
toration Of the death penalty, il will be
promptly tabled or hing on a gallows.
