The Charleston people are experiencing
the benefits of the Greek compliment which
the Democratic party paid that city by hold
ing the Convention there. The Mercury OF
the 2lst says: sg. r4
"We understand that about fifteen negroes
have been missing since the adjournment of
the Convention, which evidently shows that
that body was accompanied by some private
emissaries of the underground railroad
Accompanied by private emissaries" is
drawing it mild. Under the aggravation, it
may be called great forbearance on the part
of the Mercury but people will draw their
own conclusions. That remarkable display
Of anxiety in the Massachusetts delegation to
fulfil their constitutional obligations by send
ing back free negro, was regarded with
suspicion at the time. Besides, the Charles
ton people had in their midst for fortnight
the delegationfrom Ohio, who conscientiously
believe, or at least did few years ago-and
Democratic principles never change-that il
is their duty to mitigate and eradicate the
evil of slavery. Under the circumstances,
the mitigation and eradication of only tif-
teen, maybe called aprovidential deliverance

VERsEs.-A young lady of Lowell, Mass, for
many years an assistant teacher in one of the

The article, signed by a fictitious name, was
seen by the gentleman, and so much admired
that he wrote to the address, and the cores
pondence thus began was kept up for nearly
two years, and has resulted as above. y

SUCCESS OF A New PARIslAs TENOR
Michot is q new Partisan tenor. He is an ex-
cellent singer, but wretched actor. Adolph
Adam first discovered him, and went to all
the lyrical managers in Paris, and pressed
them to engage him. "He is unpublished" !"
said he, ''has devil of face, can't stand,
can't enter, can't leave a room, but he has a
superb voice, which is both energetic and
sweet, equal and sonorous, penetrating and
charming He has, beside, all the instincts,
all the happy disposition which assures Ger,
tainty that lie will make an excellent singer
Managers however, viii not engage artists
unknown to fame, and Michot waited sonae
time (hard working in the interyal) before he
could obtain the only light which can ripen
histronic or lyric talents into reputation,
that from the foot-lights. AT last, however
he found an engagement at third-rate opera
house. Here Michot made his bow in Rich.

itself, but his musical voice charmed the
hearers, and when he came to sing in De'

nv 81 man, thd Oh .yhlch Paul preached with
more care and logical power than ON any
other, is nothing but an old pagan contro-
versy revamped. Ssetthis pagan ccntroversy
has filed more Christian books than all other
questions together win The Gazette inform
the public what We have IN our religion that
is not heathenism, 20 that people may know
whether they are Christian or Pagan. It
seems TO us that the attempt of the Gazette
to make Christianity sanction the divisions
which human infirmities have caused among
Christians, can only result in degrading re-
ligiOn tothelsvel Of human depreyity; and
that It's loose way ofquoting scripture and of
mixing up Christianity with paganism, is cal
culated to destroy all respect for the religion
Of the Bible The Church has nothing to
fear from the criticism of sceptics, nor the
attacks Of undisguised inRdels. Ithas always
triumphed over these. Its most dangerous
foes are ofits own household; and il has most
TO fearfrom the Indifference which argues that
mere intellectual differences Of beliefare of no
consequence, and from the consequent loose
reasoning and disrespect for established au-
thority and doctrine among its own mistaken
followers, who "would make the law of God oi
none effect through their heather traditions
The most common and insidious operation o
these is in the effort which is constantly be
ing made to reduce religion to human de
sires, 20 effect a compromise between divin,
goodness and human depravity, and mak'
the way Of truth broad and easy. We may
notice at another time the further effort o
the Gazette in the article referred to, to pre-
scribe a creed loose enough to take in the
clean and unelean. .li .ua ja.

The Case of Charles Wasner-suspected of
T 81 Being N Slave.

We are informed that some of the colored
people of this city are making an effort to
raise money to pay the costs which have ac-
crued against Chas. Wagner, colored man,
who has been confined in the Newport Jail
for nearly ten months, on suspicion of being
a slave, and is TO be sold into slavery next
Monday to pay costs if not sooner redeemed.
Wagner was decoyed from this city by VIM.
Stewart and Michael Weaver, and was kept
in Weayers cellar at Newport until the Of
ficers Of that place became aware that he had
negro concealed in his premises, when they
arrested the negro. Instead of making Stew
art and Weaver and the negro change places
they were permitted to testify that Wagner
| had admitted TO them that he was slave.
BY this disinterested testimony they were
allowed to clear themselves from circum-
stances which made penitentiary possible
event, and win come in for $75 reward when
the negro is sold, which is included in the
costs, and is to come out Of the sweat of the
brows Of the colored men of Cincinnati
showing that in Newport as well as in all
other places virtue is sure to be rewarded.
