THE LAST HOURS OF THEODORE PAR.
KER.

We extract the following from the CJrrespon-
dence of the Evening Post.
It is not for my feeble pen to touch the sacred
theme of his great and noble character. To-
those who have lived in the atmosphere of his
intimacy that he should die seronely appears no
miracle. To such the stability of the cath on
which they daily walk and stand is no clearer fact
than the profoundness of Mr. parker's religious
convictions; but as there those who, knowing
him but partially, have with a weaker trust,
which gives them insight into that perfect faith
which casteh out fear) supposed that the approach
Of death would reveal to the wor rid and to him
self that he had 'builded upon sand to such
would say, that the only words of regret at his
exchanging the heavy body for the body Of light
which have ever escaped his lips, were coupled
with the longing to complete his half finished la
bors, For many months Mr.. Parker has known
that he was mortally ILL for many weeks, that his
end was imminent. The writer of this has seen
him every day for nine months past, and the topic
of death has very often been introduced by him.
but no word Of lecantation OF his opinions, of DIS
trust of his principles. Of misgiving as to the
sOundness of his religious convictions, has ever
passed his lips Only an occasional expression

Parker such q statement as the above will seem,
indeed, q work of supererogation, and l only
make it for the satisfaction Of such as either in
good faith or in bad faith, have questioned the
profound and holy earnestness of conviction which
has produced such a life. Mr.. Parker died sur
rounded by devoted friends and in the arms of a
beloved wife, He left few simple and thorough

funeral, among which was the request that the
first eleven verses of tie Sermon on the Mount
should be read at his grave. One of the --latest
events of his life was his first meeting with lady

SEEING A WHITE GIRL FOR AsLAvE

One Of those strange, but not unfrequent occur
rences in the different phases Of the peculiar in
stitution, happened in our city last Saturday. Up
on the evidence of two very respectable and disin
terested gentlemen ~ residents of our city, a
girl about eighteen or twenty years Of age, and
whom our neighUor of the Gazette says "the Lest
Judges might mistake for a white woman, was ar
rested as fugitive slave What seems to be little
strange in the case is the fact of her having lived
in the city for several months in prominent Giti
zen's family as a free white servant girl, and nc
one ever suspecting or possibly thinking her !u'
pitiye from bondage, and yet remaining in Slave
State But for some time previous to her arrest
she had resided in Belmont, Kansas, where she
was taken for a white woman and treated with
the same Difference shown to all other white wo-
men BY civilized people. However, upon the afi
daVits of those two worthies, who it seems, were
Acquainted with her in Lexington, where, it is al
leceG, she belonged to one Tutt the officer of oui
city proceeded to make the arrest Upon seeing
the girl and questioning her, they could not per
Suade themselves that she was slave, and refused
to make the arrest and sen. for the Marshal He
forced by his duty, performed the painful act. w
understand that che was taken into safe keeping
and Mr.. Tut telegraphed FOR, who came, claime'
her as his property, paid the dSintorested wor
thies who showed such disinterested kindness
aud took her away quietly. OF course it is al
right and even if the girl is white, intelligen
and pretty as most young ladies, and even claime
to be from Illinois, and could give references de
nying ever being a slave, what right has she TO b
heard when two respectable worthy pro-slaver
men say they know her to be a slave? OF cours
the Justice must remand her to bondage and
doom worse than death, because, fOrsooth, th
slave Oligarchy demand it.

BOLD AND DELIBERATE ATTEMPT AT
KIDNAPPING.
REsttE OF the NEGRO.

The boldest attempt to kidnap a free negro and
carry him across the river for the purpose Of sell
ing him into servitude was made yesterday after
noon, at the river landing but very fortunately
the fuse Of the miscreant who made the effort prov
ed unsuccessful.
The name of the man is Jeremiah johnson, snd
of the negro james Epson johnson met Upson
at the landing, and asked him if he wished sit
uation on the river. Upson said that he did, and
accompanied johnson to the Walnut street ferry
landing. Johnson then said that the ferry-boat
was the craft that wished to engage a hand bui
tho negro, too wide awake to trust his valuable
person upon the boat, demurred to going ON board
at which johnson seized him by the neck, and
pointing a revolver in his fAce,fOld him that be
made the slightest resistance or refused to board
the boat he would blow his brains out This gen
tie admoni,iOn 10 the negro, who hesitated not q
second between liberty and death, was, however,
disregarded and shrieking at the top of his voice

SPEECH OF REV. SAMUEL LoNGFELLoW

| Mr. CHAIRMAN AND FRIENDS: 1t would seem
as if, when the black speaks, the white man
might keep silence; that when the slave speaks he
who has never known what slavery IS, save by
report, might afford to be dumb. And yet can
not afford to keep client, nor any Of us afford
to be silent had hoped that could meet here,
and that you might have the pleasure of hearing,
this afternoon, our friend Mr. Conway, of Cincin-
natl, whose name was announced as one of the
speakers, that your hearts might DO kiudled by
his himself man born amid Slavery,
knowing it by heart, and bearing a noble testi
mony since he became man. to that which in his
childhood, ho learned to hate; but he writes in a
letter, that not intended indeed for the pub
lie eye, that be cannot be here. lie says, The
simple truth is, that l am beretic preacher, and
such are not rich the distance is great and in
short, cannot afford to be there The distance
from Brooklyn is not great; even hereto can af-
ford the passage money. | am here because |
could not afford to stay away; we can none of us
afford to stay away; nor can any one who has the
call to speak afford to stay away, for in coming
here he will gain more than ho can hope to give
| If he be the most eloquent who speaks in this
city to-day. No man can have entered into this
anti-savery movement, or past its borders and
caught breath of its inspiring air, without know
ing that he gains more than he can give although
he mary be called upon to give up place, position
wealth. whatever man may be called upon to sac
rfce for this cause; and after another of those
who have been leaders and prisoners in :his cause
will tell you the same story-that it has done
more for their character and manhood and NOR,
for the fibre of their Wills and the largeness o
their hearts, than they can ever hope to do fo
it.
The white man must speak as well as the blacl
man, because the black man cannot always speak
he can only point dumbly to his sorrows and hi
wrongs and ask tongue Of those to whom God ha
given the opportunity, the liberty, the gift o
speech. The freeman must speak because he i,

he must co nprehend the wrong that is done tC
the man from whom freedom is taken away. ]
say, with our friend who has just taken his seat
that here the black man lie, and here he ought to
stay until we have done justice to him. We
have no right to indulge any fasudoushess, we
have no right to ask to be freed from any trouble,
until we have given bin the utmost of his
right.
l think nothing more needs to be presented here
than the simple facts of slavery. few Of which
our brother has been repeating to us facts which
are familiar to us, but of which. we ought never to
be weary, because the Slave Power is never weary
of inAicing those expressions aud wrongs-the
Slave Power whether slavery at the South or

fugitive, and offered twenty dollars to any one who
would help to place him on the ferrybost and
secure bis transit across tho river. The negro
during all this was begging piteOusly to Re res
cued, and stated tbSt be was not d fugitive, nor
had he ever been slave. At this junctqre two
gentlemen passed along the levoo in carriage;
one of whom shouted to johnson to let the negro

tionists, and afterwards added ObprobrioGs epi-
thet that we refrain from mentioning. The gem
tleman to whom Johnson'a words were especially
directed Immediately jumped from the carriage
and seizing the woul 1.be kidnapper " the hair,
pulled him to the ground and administered q
beating from which Johnson will not speedily
recover. Officers Colby, Chumley and BrocRing.
ton here arrived, and releasing johnson from the
fury of the insulted geutethan, conveyed him ID
the Hammond street station house. The negro
Upson is well known in this city.
Against johnson there seems TO be Tie MOST
positive case. He will be taken before the
Police Court this morning for preliminary exami-

dent of the Evening Post says;
AFRICAN slayes-or stolen negroes-are pour
ing SO rapidly upon us that the wa,ch-dOgs Of the
treasury are getting alarmed at the prospects.
Southern democrats will, if possible, defeat thG
appropriations for returning those wretched beings
to Africa. What the object is no one eau say, for
certainly the government will not relnquish the
negroes to the shareholders. or put them Up for
sale, if the appropriation is not made. They wiz
simply be kept on expense till another Congress
does made the necessary appropriation"

REPUBLICAN PURIrY.-The following facts are
their own best commentary. The Republican
State Treasurer of Maine stole 100000 of the
peoples money, and applied $4,000 of it to brib-
cry in the elections, by that means eecting Daniel
Z. Somes and Ezra B. French, a couple of "pure
Republicans" to Congress by small maiorities
from the first and third districts of Maine. Bribery
and corruption alone elected these men, and brib-
cry with stolen money, too. The Republican State
Treasurer Of Michigan is another plunderer of the
peoples money to the tune of sll0,l98 rs. In
Massachusetts, the Republican Liquor agent is
proved to be cheat and he, too, has ''eytended''
to the tune of 100000! And one of the Repub-
lican State Senators in the same State--Frye, of
Woreester-has just been compelled to resign his
seat by the discovery Of forgeries amounting to
SIS 900.
