NEGRO Property ON THE FRONTIERS
Last Monday number of negroes were sold
at Independence, to the highest bidders, and
the prices are such as to show a stronger con-
tidence in that kind of property than has ex-
listed for some time past. Some Boston mer-
chants were in independence during the SALE
and they expressed their establishment at the
figures at which the darkies were knocked off
One of them remarked that he had been led to
believe that negroes were mere drug in this
part of Missouri; that everybody wanted to
sell and nobody was willing to buy. On the
contrary he found negroes earnestly sought
after by the ftrmers and mechanics, and the
most extravaganza prices paid Among the
sales we have memorandums OF the following:
Man, 40 years old sold for S1.695
Boy, IL q" 1,705
Boy. Is " 1915
Boy, Is % 1850
Woman and child, 1915
Girl, IA years old, 1,405
Boy, s 904
None of the above were bought by traders
for the South but the purchasers were all
citizens of the county, who were buying for
their own use Wespon (Mo.) Star.

and devoted Christian preacher. Mr.. Clay
had written these facts to the Madison Coun-
ty papers and to the Cincinnati papers, but
the letters had not been allowed to reach their
destination in time to disabuse the popular
mind and the most useful teachers and work
ers in Madison county were driven forth.
Senator Breckenridge has alluded to the po-
sition of Senator Seward in terms that require
a protest from me. Elsewhere the statesman
of New York will vindicate himself; but here
in Kentucky, where the press is not free, and
liberty of speech not universal, he has right
to expect defense at my hands. Mr.. Clay pro-
ceeded to show that by "higher law" Seward
intended the same reverent acknowledgment
of an overruling Providence, and the eternal
supremacy of divine law, that every states
man and good citizen acknowledged in other
terms. Mr.. Clay was impressively eloquent
in this part He next proceeded to defend
Stewards expression in regard to the ''irre-
pressible conflict" and showed that the Rep
re.entatives of South Carolina and other slave
States, and the editor of The Louisville
Courier, to-day 50 jubilant over Guthrie's tri-
umph, had announced the "irrepressible con-
tlict" in more offensive terms. There was an
"irrepressible conflict" and it became his
hearers to examine well before they choose
their side; there were hundreds in Frankfort
to night, and tens of thousands in Kentucky,
who, if they dared to speak their thoughts,
would proclaim opposition not only to a slave
code in Territories, but to slavery here at
home.
After these opening remarks, Mr.. Clay Pro-
ceeded to an elaborate argument in vindica-
ton of the principles of the Republican party
against the aspersons of Breckenridge and
Magoffin. A report will be sent you by mail.
The scene in the State House yard was srik-
ing. Scores of candles, brought by willing
hands, partially dispelled the darkness and
showed the heavy frame, the white hair and
the flashing eye of Clay, as he stood in relief
against the grey pillars of the Capitol. A
large number of influential Shareholders were
present. but the majority were non-slavehold-
ers, and none knew where they came from.
His voice rung out so loud and clear that all
the city within three or four squares was his
audience.
