On January 9Th, at Richmond, Stearns co.,
by Rev. c. S. Harrison, Mr.. O. s. FREEMAN,
of Verdale, to Miss Wv. RICHARDSON, Of
Richmond, niece of Hon. r. NJ Richardson.
0. S. FREEMAN, this youth who is a
freeman no more; and has been the unfor-
tunate means Of dragging AN amiable and
trusting young lady, down with him, into
the abyss of matrimony, has, up to this
time, sustained an unblemished reputation.

residing in Columbia, S. c., and engaged as
one of the workmen Oh the new State capitol,
was tarred, feathered, and whipped in that
city on Saturday week. He expressed Adolf
ton sentiments, when 4 committee waited on
the gentleman, and had q couple Of negroes
to give him his suit, with good whipping
thirty nine lashcs-for his sympathy. This is
action, not woris.-Statcs j. Union.
This is the "Frcedom of Speech" guar
antced by the Constitution. 1t is no Ion
ger irresponsible mobs which outrage
Northern citizens, in Southern States, for
expressing opinions in favor of Human
Freedom, but the ccntra! organ of Dcmoc-
racy, published at our National capital,
proclaims these outrages to the world and
endorses them. Men arc tarrcd, and
fcathcrcd, and whipped for expressing
sentiments held and taught by WASHING
TON and JEFFERSON, and the signers of
the Declaration of Independence
Democratic Journals cry "served him
right" Truly, "the Freedom which our
Fathers won" has como to be strange
affair
-rhirty-six men, women and children
have been bauishcd from kentucky, for
teaching that Slavery is a moral evil, and
ought to be abolished by lac. Rev. j.
Il. FEE, tho devoted Presbyterian minis
ter, who has been preaching "delivcrance
to the captive" for years in Ky, is the
Pastor Of the little colony of Christians,
thus expelled from their homes. Rev.
}. X. RODGERS was his colaborer, and
kept Furnishing school Of 100 pupils.
Mr. HANSON, a native of Ky, had built,
and was running, a large steam saw-mill.
All are industrious, earnest, praying-just
the kind Of folks who have always been
driven out Of despotic countries, Or burn
cd, for not believing with the majority.
They applied to Gov. MAooFF1N for pro-
lection, but he told them to leave the
State, as they had been ordered to do by
public meeting of the citizens of Madi-
son Go. They are nearly all natives of
Southern States, who believed Slavery
sin; and had gathered into little colony
which they called Berca, where they had
an anti-Slaycry church, and worshipped
God according to the dictates of their
own conscienccs as the God of the poor
and need y-thc downtroddcn and oppres-
sed.
The opprcssors of tho poor are despe;
rate; and many good people arc :.disheart
cncd. But they should remember that It
was just before the delivcrance of Pharo-
abs slaves that he compelled them to
make brick without straw; and they, in
their blindness and degradation, charged
Moses with being the guilty cause of their
increased expressions. We will be over
the Red Sea by-and-by. Never faltcr,
good friends; but "Sreak unto the chill
drcp Of 1srcal that they go .forrora."

LIE OCOURG1NG OF the Irish stone
cutter, James Power, at Columbia, S. c.,
because he believed and said that white
mechanics should be employed in mcchan-
ic arts, and the negroes confined to The
fields and swamps, should warn laboring
men Of the North what they must expect
when brought into contact with: asystcm
of1abor forever antaSohistic to thccir own own
Powers is Democrat; was resident Of
Philadelphia, where lie voted for Mr..
Florence for Congress, and seems to have
neither opinions nor sentiments in com.
mon with abolitionists. lie did not tam
per with slaves; he did not even say that
slavery should be abolished but to his
fellow white mechanics freely sud that
they should have a preference over slaves
in mechanical cmployments. For this he
was seized and carried by a mob out of
the city ; thirty-nine lashes, each of which
drew blood, were applied to his back, and
over the gaping bleeding wounds al Coat
Of tar and tearhers was applied. In this
plight he was escorted by negroes, amid
jeers and sneers Of the populace, including
the members Of the Legislature, to the
cars, and then shipped to Charleston,
whence he found his way to New York !,
This yexed qeustion Of slavery does
not involve the interests of the negro
alone. Hcis the mere accident af a
great question of social politics. The
advocate of slavery assumes broadly that
the 'laborer should be owned, not hired,
and it is only a question of time whether
the poor white man shall not be reduced
to the condition of tho four millions of
slaves now in the South. Admit the the
DRY to be true, and it at once becomes gem
eral in its application though particular
race is now involved, yet all races arc
subjective to it. The man who believes
in his right to his own laborer cannot be
particular what the color or nativity of
that man may be The moment il; be-
comes profitable to cnslave the poor white
the sandhillcr Of Carolina, or the .igno.
rant white of Virginia-or the poor man
of any countryside necessary legislation
will be had, and white slavery be estab-
lished by fiction Of law.
+ Tits Of primary Importance, therefore
to the laborin g man of Che North that the
system Of slavery be confined to its pres.
ent limits, and all peaceful and effectua1
means used for it's "dimunition and ulti.
mate extinguishment. There is nothing
moro certain in the book of Fate than
that this nation must ultimately be all
free or all slave. It is moro possible
that the. world should tolerate two suns
and two Alexandcrs tnan that the two
antaggonistic ~systems-antagonistic in
theirtvcry nature-should endure forever
and peaceably under the . same Govern:
ment; and within the same Union. While
they do so exist such outragcst as were
heaped upon John Power will be of com.

FnozEN.-On the morning of the End
inst, II NRY OBERwE1s was found near
St, Jo., about s miles northwest Of St.
Cloud, in an apparently dying condition.
He was brought to his home in Upper, st
Cloud, and Drs. PALMER and SIMoNroN
were called in. His feet and hands were
so frozen that some of his fingers dropped
off: His hands were much mangled, it
was thought in battling with the fends Of
delirium tremens. Feet and hands must
all have been amputated, had he lived ;
but fit of .delirium hemcns ended his
life on the evening Of the day he was
found. He was German, about rs years
of age, a wagonmaker, and up to within
six months of his death, sober, indus
trious man. He had been con spree ~
for New Year. That night, the Mercury
was 90 below zero, and the wonder is
that he lived until morning.
This is terrible country for drunkards;
and we cannot tell how our Upper Town
people can feel justified in selling liquor,
when the probabilities are so strong that
it will result in q horrible death. Who
taught this sober, industrious young man
to be a drunkard Who led him. into
the path Of crime and danger? Who sold
him the liquor which made him a man
gled, trightful corpse? All who have had
any lot or part in the business, have com
mittcd a fearful crime, and one for which
God will assuredly bring them into Judge
hent. -.....2 =. u ~. :: Ln:--.. o-,..,

burying in the ruins, 700 people. Then,
horror upon horror! As the citizens

dying, while thousands Of people wild
with agony Or dumb with dispair, as they
hung over the lifeless remains or man
glcd forms Of near and dear ones, or, worse
yet, waited to know the evorst, listning to
the cries and groans Of those imprisoned
in this fearful tomb, a wretch, after being
warned of the danger, dropped spirit
lamp; and set fire to the whole pile! Men,
women and children; cotton, wood and oil,
all converted into fame and smoke, mount.
ing up, up to the plying heavens, a great
burntoffering on the altar of Mammon!
About two hundred were burned, many
Of them shriekipg for aid; piercing the
hearts Of those nearest and dearest, with
cries which must encompass them until

Sad Calamity.

We have jqst returned from seeing a
young man lying Ct the Sstcarn,. House,
reduce Cd y i4antile weakn4s from long
illness, AID h4Yina had his left leg ampa-
tatcd below the knee thrcS days ago, ana
half of his right foot two days previous.
He is 81 ). just starting in life as a. Sur,
yeyor; and lately, full of buoyant hopes
and consciousness Of power. He appears
highly Intelligent and Well ed ucated; and
there he is, utterly helpless, MANNED for
life, with no one near him who had ever
seen hissfaoe1 until he was carried in a
frightful object Of pity. When one re-
fleets that all this came upon him from
simply cutting off his beard, how we
realize that g tsifcs make the sum of hu-
man things" 49,. i, ....:
He is JEFFERSON HARRISON, of We'll
lesboro, Tioga Co., Penna., was educated
for Surveyor, came to Minnesota "strange
countries for to see," went up to Red
River, and in the beginning of November,
cut off his beard, which had been long
and thick. He took cold, and the Doctor
thinks, from his description of his past
symptoms, erysipehs fever. Without a
physician, or care, except such as his
companions could give, he lay in log
hut for many weeks, nearly or quite un-
conscious. His limbs became paralyzed,
and the intensely cold weather setting in,
his feet frozc as he lay. His companions
got an ox-sled, bundled him up, brought
him l30 miles to Alexandria, where they
put him into one Of BURBANK & Co.'s
coach-sleighs, and sent him to St. Cloud,
to the Stearns House: The flesh had
decayed and dropped from: the bones Of
his left foot, and the toes from the right.
Drs. HUNTER 4 S1MoNToN were called
in, and amputated the one foot across the
instep. It twas tedious and unusual
operation, requiring ten minutes, and in
volving the loss Of so much blood that in
his reduced state, the other operation had
to be postponed two days., although the
decayed limb: was very offensive. They
removed it on the 18th inst, and were
but two minutes. Both times he was kept
under the influence Of chloroform, and
felt no pain; bat his weakness would make
his case critical without skill and. tender
ness. He has both. All that skillful
hands and kind hearts can accomplish, is
done for himi;''for the sick, and afflicted,
and unfortunate who fall into the hands
Of Mr.: and Mrs. SrEARNs, will learn that
the race of Samaritans is not extinct
The sufferers friends may rest assured
that he could not be better cared for in
his mothers house: MARK LEDBEATEn
is head-nurse, AID his good, kind face is
a comfort to look at while dozen other
men Of more2or less experience, are ever
ready to take turns in watching with him.

friends the other day over the almost utter
failure Of our party in the recent election,
when one Of them observed he at least had
something to be thoughtful for, and upon
the whole felt very well, decidedly COM
fortablss He was asked TO explain, when
he remarked that he was al least FIVE hun
!dred dollars better OF than he would have
been, If the democrats had possessed suf-
!hcient backbone TO bet on their candidates.
In addition to saving his money, he said ne
received great consolation in remembering
how the democracy were scared before the
election!
