At the outside there are not over 16, 040
families to be served by the slave popula-
ton, and many of these have to hire free
colored servants. What then is to be done
for the remaining population who are not
shareholders
We frankly confess, that such PROPOSE
tons on the part of the few slave holders
that make them, do strike us with amaze
ment. Do they suppose that the farmers,
and merchants, and citizens who now en-
ploy the free colored population as hire
lings to do their work, would rest satisfied
in an attempt to take them from their fields
and stores? Think of police officer I'M
der such law arresting mans WAGNER
or carriage driver on the way to the post
effice, the mill, for doctor, or court, or the
city.
The interests of the non-slaveholding
population now suffer for want of laborers.
What are they to do? Put away the free
colored population2 Stop emancipation 7
Then the non-slayeholders are shut up to
a necessity that would soon make slave
holding in Maryland only name. Just
as certain as that the sun rises and sets,
Maryland would soon be non-slavehold-
ing State. 1t could hardly take the slave
holder by surprise in saying to him that if
the free colored people are removed there
is no safety for the interest he has N his
slaves. How long will slave labor COM
pete with free white labor2 The free
colored population, instead of being an in
jury to the Shareholders interest, is the
main defence which they have. 1t keeps
out that much free white labor, which
would soon make an end to the slave inter-
est 1t is defended when we defend the
free colored man.
We speak for humanity when We call
upon every citizen of Maryland tie loath
and abhor such abominable propositions as
are contained in these bills. We speak
for the honor of our State, of our race,
when we say that it is monstrous and char
acteristic of slave-dealer on the coast of
Africa or petty slave-dealers among us.
Every denomination Of Christians, with
every minister of the Gospel, will be bound
in conscience to lift up voice of eondem-
nation 1t would say little for human ma
ture if there be found district in the State
where such measures will meet with appro-
baton. We have met but one man who
did not unqualifedly condemn the whole
movement, and he only thought something
should be done to make Idle and lazy men
work, which would be a good measure for
white or colored. Amy action is needless.
Our State has been getting along quietly
and prosperously There was not the least
excitement on this subject when the slave
holders convention met in January, 1859.
From that meeting no good has arisen for
the stakeholder, and from the action pro-
posed in the Legislature no good can arise
except in the utter rejection of those prop
ositions. A man must know little of the
State who can imagine that more than one
in ten of the delegates that would vote for
The weekly Anglo-African. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1859-1861, 1860-03-03

ity against the free Every non-slave-
holder is ready to defend the rights of the
STAKEHOLDER. Let him meet out something
of the same kind of protection, or even
mercy to the free.
There is to our mind an immodesty as
we'll as unfairness and unkindness in the
pressing of these propositions. We know
well that not one STAKEHOLDER in hundred
will approve them. Let politicians drop
the subject, and there will be peace in
Maryland in week If these slave-hold-
ers will press it, they materially damage
their own intesests, as the day will prove.
The proposition to prohibit emancipa-
ton is foolish as well as wicked Shall a
man who has inherited slaves be COMPEL
ed against his conscience, if he be disturb
ed on that subject, to hold men in slavery
or sell them into slavery? There are now
1916 out of the 16,O40 shareholders in
the State, who do not hold ON an average
three slaves each. In the course of ten
years, the larger part of their owners may
die or see fit to emancpate them. We have
noticed for thirty years, that almost every
humane man or woman whom we have
known die, and who has in time prepared
his last will, has provided for the enamel
patton of his slaves, and others who have
not made that preparation have requested
their children and heirs to make the provis-
ion. We ask in the name of humanity,
shall dying man, whose conscience re-
quires him to do what has always been
considered humane act, have statute Of
the State, requiring of him in that dying
hour to perpetuate the slavery of his family
and body servant, among those with whom
he would not permit him to dwell when
living. Such laws only act as millstones
about the neck of the slave institution, and
if men will enact them, they must run the
risk which the man does who ties his bag
of gold around his neck and jumps off the
sinking vessel, hoping to save himself and
his treasure.
The slave-holding population are pro-
tected in their farm hands and house ser
wants, and everything that makes the
lands and property of the Shareholder pro-
Does he, in return for that, say to the non
Shareholder, you and your sons must en-
ter your fields and do the labor-your
wives and your daughters must become the
cooks and washerwomen and house SER
wants, while we, an aristocratic band, will
sit in state as the grandees of the State.

FUNERAL OBSEQUIES OF K0SSUTH'S SISTER.
Another sister of the distinguished Hungarian patriot
has Just died in exile among US though not without those
consolatons of generous friendship which the exes for
libertys sake are wont find in FREQ lands Madame
Emile Tuavsky Kossuth yesterday afternoon bu.
red from the chapel Of the Second Unitarian Society OF
BROOKLYN. Drs. Farley, 0sgood and Bellows were pres
ent and each bore part in the funeral services These
were attended by large congregation, made up good
part by Hungarians and consisted Of voluntary on the
organ by Hungarian gentleman selections from Scrip
tre read by Dr. Bellows, prayer by DR.. Osgood, and
highly appropriate and impressive address from Dr..
Farley, of the First Unitarian Church in Brooklyn.
The Reverend Doctor alluded with much feeling TO tie
many trials in exile of the deceased lady, aud with equal
deicacy to tho kindness and hospitality Of those Amer
N friends whose mniStrations had smoo he'd her pillow
in sickness and DEATH On the wrist OF the deceased In
accordance with her own dying request, bracelet
always worn by her until her last sickness made from the
iron chain with which her brother had been bound in
Austrian prison.
The remains were taken to Greenwood and inferred In
the Unitarian ground there, Colonel Asboh making an
address in Hungarian at the grave moving to those
who understood it it eloquent 10 the ears OF those
who heard it only. As closing rite, some earth, from
her native Hungary thrown by her children on the
cor of the deceased dust being thus rendered to dust
in way corresponding with her own expressed desire
during her last illness.

Place
1t appears that Mr. Walton had in connection with his
distlery store % west 25th street, and that he oc-
cupied room this store in company with his cous-
in, Mr. Richard II Pascal who acted his clerk. On
Saturday night Mr.. Walton had been down to the dis
tlIery and returning in company with Mr. PASCAL,
when at the of 18th street and Sd avenue they
observed man leaning against II tree. They passed

Mr. Walton fell to the pavement aud was afterwards re-
moved TO adjoining drug store and subsequently TO

In the mean time Mr.. PASCAL in company with seyc-
raj other persons who had witnessed the murder OF Mr.
Walton pursued the murderer and, at the corner of
Irving Place and 10th street. Of the party Mr. John
Watts Matthews, had got so TO him that the muf-
