The DEPORTATION ScHBME-Senator Iru"a-
bulls Viescs-In the Senate, on the Sth inst,
Mr.. Trumbull, of ILL.,, made a lengthy speech,
chiefly in defense of the Republican party, in
the course of which he said that the declaration
of Mr.. Seward was nothing more than the views
expressed by Washington and the Southern
men in 1898. He also quoted the language
of Jefferson, that "there is nothing more GER
tainly written in the book of fate than that
these races should be free" 1t would be
seen, then, that the idea was not new. 1t had
its origin in Virginia, years ago, and the idea
foreshadowed by Jefferson, although not a
part of the creed of the Republican party, he
trusted might hereafter become its creed
that is, the deportation of the free negro pop
ulation from the country. He trusted the
Republican party would make it a part of their
creed to procure some region of country not
far distant, to which the negro population
could be taken. He feared the consequence
of Jefferson's prophecy, unless this was done
In favor of the movement. He quoted from 8
speech of Henry Clay, advocating colonization
In conclusion, Mr.. Trumbull said L
seems to me impracticable to transport this
great population to Africa; let us obtain 1
country nearer hsme, and to show the sym
pathy in the North for the South, 1 know

pated, by planting them in some contiguou!
country to this. | hope that this will becom,
the policy of the Republican party; I hop,
we may join hands with the South, anc
instead of reproaching each other--instead o
saying anything to create misunderstanding
/ in the different sections of the Union-w'
may come together as our fathers stood
together, shoulder to shoulder, to establish
our independence; that we come together
side by side, as brothers, adopting the sam,
policy, which shall eventually rid us of thi
institution of slavery, the only one tina
threatens our permanent prosperity.
j To all of which we give our hearty endorse
ment.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH."-In no part of tn

(remarks the Chicago JourxaD lis the sacre'
right Of speaking ones opinions so tyrannic
ally restricted, and so barbarously punished
as in the slaveholding portion of the United
States of America.
5 DIR. Breed an honest and esteemed Quaker
gentleman, is arrested and held for trial at the
National Capital, for speaking his opinions in
private conversation.
A school teacher, who went from Connecti-
cut to Helena, Mississippi, some time since,
was drawn into controversy, the other day,
in that Southern village, and ventilated his
views on the slavery subject rather freely.
He was tarred and feathered and rode on
rail, and then sent adrift on log down the
Mississippi.
The chivalry of South Carolina also dis
played her prowess, short time since, by
seizing Northern man, at Bamberg, for being
too free in the expression of his opinions, had
his head shaved on one side, and a coat of tar
and feathers applied to him; he was then
ridden on a rail beyond the limits of the
village. .r.a -" .-

and intolerance?
''INcENDIARY" MAIL MATTER.-Gov. Wise
having requested the opinion of Attorney
General Tucker, Of Virginia, as to the bearing
of the State laws upon the distribution of
incendiary publications through the Post
Office, that officer writes long report on the
subject in which he takes the ground that
the Federal power to transmit mail matter
does not carry with it the power to publish
and circulate, and therefore that local laws
affecting such publications as the incendiary
documents in question may be enforced.
After this decision, the circulation of objection.
able mail matter in Virginia may be regarded
as definitely prohibited.
A new panic has been created by the alleged
discovery of "infernal machines" which,
according to the Richmond Enquirer, are to
be addressed to all the leading citizens of the
State, with the immediate and diabolical
design of "blowing them up!'

THE SONS OF MALTA.

This mysterious organization recently gave
grand Charity Ball at Baltimore, which was
great success. The american, in its report,
gives the following account of the origin and
principles of the order, which we copy for the
benefit of the uninitiated:
In the year 104s, some merchants of Mem
phis, trading to the Levant, obtained leave OF
the Caliphof Egypt to erect house for those
who went ON pilgrimage to Jerusalem, They
erected a hospital for the sick a. ID. ll04,
when they obtained the name of hospitallsrs.
A. d. Ills they became a military order, and
many persons Of noble blood entered their
ranks. After the Christians had lost their in
ierest in the East, and Jerusalem was taken
the knights returned 10 Mafgettee Acre, and
Piecess, which they defended in 1850. The
order Of the Sons of Malta Of which the lodge
in our city is branch, and which embraces
SO many OF our distinguished fellow-citizens,
is direct representation Of this formerly re-
ligious order,
The island of Malta is still in the hands of
the " Sons of Malta" who rent it the British
government as place of deposit for military
stores. II is however contemplated by the
Grand Lodge of the Union, to erect thereon a
magnificent retreat for those whom long SER
vice in the Order and old age have enfeebled.
All Sons, familiar with the history Of the
early Sons OF Malta, Publius, who entertained
in the most hospitable manner st. Paul, when
lie was shipwrecked on the island whence
they bare their name. We do not know if he
held any office in the order, but he il desert
bed as the Chief Man of the Island"
The Sons of Malta have a deep design in
their organization. They may startle the
world some day with an achievement so bril-
liant, having all the attributes of nobleness
and purity, which are the prime functions Of
the or.ler, that all mankind will look on with
blessings and applause. Many of their won
derful charities are known to the world, but !
very many remain secrets in the order. Their
in the United States Is of recent
origin, as the first lodge was instituted in the
Empire State but two years ago, and now they
number their thousands of members. Phila-
delphia, Boston and Baltimore soon followed,
as well as the principal cities OF the South
and West, and the lodges are increasing in
strength, and extending the sphere
of their benevolent influences more rapidly
than its hest friends could have anticipated.

aPriend didst thou hear my thoughts for
not a single word has passed my lips Thou
wouldst fain make me believe that had said
sometbing to-to.-No, friend have said
nothing" The officer thought that probably
the ouaker's excited mind might develope
something that might be of interest to the Am
erican cause. Finding all his efforts to draw
anything out Of the young man by question
ing him fail. determined to leave him to h's
reaeotions and see what information he couiu
gather by acting the spy. With TINS resoiu'iO.
nnermost in his mind he withdrew ana pia0eu
,,i,.,so,s u, an adjacent room where he could
hear mthe prisoner had to say without Dc
fng seen. He was not long in this situation
when Joshua's mind again became excited anu
he exclaimed: s.Oh that had my liberty,
but one short hour, that might convey my
tidinqs to the place of its destination. The
bonr approaches, still no opportunity offers to
present myself before the man of war. On
that could see but one familiar face to prove
that my character is above suspicion-that
would not be guilty Of the crime laied to my
charge. when my errand was the very oppo-
site 10 the crime charged to me. But, let
what may come it shall never be said, that
ever betrayed the trust confded to me- On
what anguish will my poor parents experience
when they hear that their son has been exc
cuted for a spy in the American camp II it
had been the enemies, of liberty, that had
been guilty of this, the world might pardon
them but to be punished by men had en-
deavoured to save from destruction Is 100
hard to bear" The young man burst into
tears. The officer unperceived by the prison.
or. heard all he had said, and the idea occurr-
ed to him that something might be wrong in
the case Of the young quaker. After revolv-
ing the circumstance in his mind, he deter
mined to wait upon General Washington and
tell him what he had heard. With this de-
termination he hurried awayleaving the young
man to his own reflections. Time was press
ing and he must be expeditions or it might
be too late. Leaving the prisoner pacing his
cell, and the officer pursuing his way to wash
ington's head quarters, we will turn to other
scenes.

ject Of their search. Often would William
point out the danger of continuing their jour
ney to Philadelphia. Heargued that as soon
as Joshua had delivered his message to wash
ington he would leave for home, and that it
would be great deal safer to await along the
road until he started 70 come home. To en-
ter the City and search for Joshua, might be
something like searching for needle in q
hay stack. But Fanny urged the necessity OF
proceeding SO strongly that William at length
consented and the journey continued. Fanny
informed William that she was acquainted
with family of Friends in the City that
would doubtless give them hearty welcome,
and in all probability they would have but
little trouble to find the object of their search.

10, THE POOR INDIAN

The following correspondence needs no in
PRODUCTION OF explanation. Let ns hope that
the letter of the Secretary Of the Interior is
not mere form, but an'evidence that the
Executive intends to perform the duty to
which his attention was called by the memo
ralists:
To JAMES BrcHASAS, President of the y. .Sidtes:
Your memOrialists would respectfully call
the attention of the Executive to the condition
of the Indian tribes. 1t is generally asserted
By the press, and officially reported by the
Indian Department, that the Indian tribes
have been repeatedly defrauded of their lands
and means Of subsistence and been driven
by starvation to desperation, and then haunt
ed and mastered AZ if they had no common
rights of humanity.
Your memOrialists have been deeply panied
to read in the California newspapers that men
are hired to hunt and to slay Indians, and are
paid by the number of scalps they obtain, and
that il is the fixed policy Of the people and
government of the Territories to destroy all
they can. We conceive that no argument is
necessary to show the dangerous results Of
the morality which sanctions this wholesale
murder of a poor people whom we are bound
by common humanity to protect. It natural
~ produces its own fruit wherever its intlu-
ence extends and we fear, therefore, that the
publicly sanctioned outrages upon the Indians
form great National School to teach injustice
throughout the land.
Your mcmorialsts would therefore pray
that proclamation of cessation of HOSTILE
ties may be issued, and that peace commits
sion, composed of persons Of integrity and
ability, may he created.
Signed on behalf Of the Pennsylvania Yearly
Meeting Of Progressive Friends.
