A FREE NEGRO SOLD AS e SLAVE.

The following particulars concerning the selling
into slavery of a free negro. were yesterday rela-
ted to US by legal gentleman, in whose hands
the matter has been placed for the prosecution Of
the offending parties. Some time since, tele-
graphic dispatch was received by detective Off
Ger Of this city, requesting him to arrest ard re-
tain in custody negro acting in the capacity of
cook on board a steamboat plying between this
cit, and Cincinnati. The dispatch set forth that
he (the negro) was a runaway slave, the property
OF gentleman named Overton, residing about a
huudred miles from this city! The officer fulfilled
his orders, and placed tho supposed runaway in
Jail. couple of d'ys after this, Mr.. Overton
came here and identified the negro as a slave of
his; and afterwards placed him in the hands of a
slave-trader, who disposed Of him to Southern
gentleman named Wisen.an, for a very round
sum of money. Wseman took the darkey TO New
Orleans. ard there sold him for $4,000. Shortly
after this last transaction it was ascertaDed thai
the negro was in reality free man. lie was
born slave in North Carolina. He afterward,
moved with his master, to Mobile where he was
emancipated.
After his emanci patton he moved to Ohio, apC

ing as he says, that any person would claim him
as slave. BY some means, his emancipator
heard of his cnslavement, and Immediately inte =
ested himself in his behalf His free papers wer,
taken to New Orleans and by due form Of law h,
was declared free man. Prosecution has alreu-
dy been commenced against some parties in New
Orleans for being concerned in the selling of the
Tree negro, and in q short time, suit will be
brought against individuals in this State for the
same offence. legally gotten up warrantee deed
was given to Mr.. Wioenan, stating the negro to
be slave for life and the same kind Of instru-
ment was produced by the gentleman who pur-
chased him in New-Orleans, as proof that he (;he
purchaser) had committed no crime. The whole
affair seems remarkably strange, although it may
be case Of mistaken identity" on the part of
tho one who swore he was his slave We shall
keep track" of the affair, and "repOrt progress"

Mr.. HARpEMAN, one of the Southern OPP
position members of the House from
Georgia, writes to the Georgia C:ti=sn,
giving an account of the efforts of the
Democrats to force him and those of his
political faith into the Democratic ranks
He says that they wish to use the Southern
Opposition to accomplish their partisan
ends, and then crush them. After detail
ing the we'll known proceedings of the
Democratic members, he says:
HYou now have little insight into the
management of Democratic affairs here.
The first day of the session they began an
intiammatory debate upon the slavery
question, intended alone for home con-
sumption. and they are still consuming
time, speaking to empty benches. have
heard the speakers denounce Sherman as
unfit to live and as unfit to die, and have
seen them, OF the conclusion of their re-
marks, arm Sherman and walk off in social
glee So much for their sincerity and
honest indignation.
l tell you the politicians of the Demo-
cratic party are making Black Republicans
every day, by menaccs and threats, and
the South will yet learn that their Repre-
sentatives, by imprudence, have added fuel
to the flames. The moment you say you
are no Democrat, you are denounced as an
enemy to Southern rights, and ruled out OF
Southern organizations"

The New York Herald excels in the
philosophic power of tracing the relation
of cause and effect between operations,
that to the vulgar mind have no sort of
connection. We suppose that it has a
kind of Newtonian cast Of intellect. Thus
it finds remarkable coincidence In the
arrival of Mr. Seward and the negro out
break at Bolivar, in Missouri, or Mississip-
pi, for it has not yet learned in which
state the town is situated. Is it not also
a striking coincidence that the negro riot
and the delivery of the Presidents Message
should be SO nearly simultaneous? Pro-
found philosophy will doubtless find the
direct connection between thcss two great
events.

A NEW dodge for weakening the aboli-
tionists has been devised by an enterpris-
ing man named Wallace. He says that
his father had once been swindled by some
abolitionists, and therefore with flal
affection, which is truly touching, he de-
termined to "swindlc somebody in the
first abolition State where he could get an
opportunity" He has been adroit enough,
if we may believe his own confession: to
make over eight thousand dollars by his
dishonest operations in Detroit and other
places. He does not inform us whether
his fathers shade will be appeased by this
achievement, or whether his flial love
will be taxed still further. We apprehend,
however, that his high sense of duty, his
devotion to his fathers memory, and his
hatred of abolitionists, will not allow him
to pause in his brilliant career until he has
crowned himself with the glory of that
martyrdom which ungrateful legislators
have prepared for gentlemen of his stamp.
Noble as are his ends and the means by
which he seeks to attain them, n hard
hearted and unappreciative world will be
too likely to place him before long in q
secure home, where he can mediate at
leisure upon his heroic deeds.

OUR dispatches from Belvidere, New
Jersey, day or two ago, made mention of
the continuance of the trial of Rev. Jacob
s. Harden, who, MS our readers will recol-
lect, was arrested by our Wheeling police,
down at Fairmont, some months ago. 1t
appears from long accounts in the Belvi-
dere papers, that the accused is only %
years of age. He belongs to the Methodist
church. His wife was the daughter of
farmer living in the neighborhood. Short
ly before his marriage, or soon after, Har-
den became enamored of beautiful young
lady. This matter coming to the knowl-
edge of his wife soon after her removal to
his boarding-place, caused great deal of
domestic unhappiness. About the first of
March last, his wife was taken suddenly
i'll, and on the ninth she died, with every
indication of arsenical poisoning. Har-
denis strange conduct during her illness,
and his great anxiety to have her buried
hastily, caused him to be suspected, and
Coroner's inquest was held. Harden was
examined at the inquest, and testified that
his wife had told him that she had taken
poison, and made him promise never to
reveal the fact, unless it was to save his
life. The inquest was continued several
days, and resulted in verdict that he had
poisoned his wife with arsenic. Harden
disposed of his property and fed before
the verdict was rendered. He was arrest
ed, as we have before said, down at Fair
mont, by means of daguerreotype like
ness. At first he denied his identity, but,
on being shown his likeness, confessed he
was the man, but at that time, and ever
since, has protested his innocence of the
crime charged against him, and expresses
his belief that he will be acquitted.

The resolution passed by the Union
meeting in Rochester, N. Y, and which we
published Monday last, breathes the true
spirit, and shows the way in which the
Union is to be preserved, by fulfilling all
its obligations, and then by holding others
to them. The Union is not to be strength
ened by yielding to any threat of dissolu
ton; it certainly is not to be maintained
by allowing the minority to dictate to the
majority. Great consideration should be
extended to all the reasonable complaints
of the people of every section; and we would
concede much even to their unreasonable
demands; but the assumption that the
Union is more necessary to one section
than to the other, that either section makes
a sacrifice by remaining in it, which the
other is bound to acknowledge by submis-
sion to conditions unknown to the consti-
tuition, is not to be tolerated; and the con-
sequent demand that the numerical and
federal majority shall elect to the presi-
dency not the man of their choice, not the
candidate who will carry out their policy
according to law and within the constitu-
ton, but candidate designated by the
minority, is absurd. No men with the
spirit of freemen would submit to such
terms; no men would demand them, unless
with the design of frightening timid men
into unreasonable compliauces, or as
pretext for the very dissolution which they
threaten
