See what the Vile Wretches Propose

The following Appeal is distributed in
circular form over the State Of New York. It
was adopted by meeting at Albany, the cap
ital of the State, of the party favorable TO the
enactment of State laws to nallify the clause
Of the Constitution of the United States,
which requires that fugitive slaves shall be
surrendered to their owners upon demand.
It is proper to state that measure is now
pending m. the New York Legislature, con-
forming IN every particnfsr to the require
nents of The fianatical traitors; and there is
every probability Of its passage. Is it not
tine for the States whose constitutional rights
are thus assailed, to take counsel together for
| their own safety va - l2a ~
APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW
-.5 1S YORK. iszI iatsf
Shall the soil of the Empire State be longer
| polluted by the track of the Slave hunter?
Shall we ourselves be subject to his call to
| chase and catch his human prey?
Shall we be subjected TO fines and impris-
onnleats for refusing tins 10 degrade and de-
h;.n1anize ourselves? ~, s;.s.
Must our doors and hearts be closed to the
| painting, Starving stranger, who seeks shelter
| and protection from the renlorseless kidnApper
| that would drag him back to the woes of the
plantation from which he escaped An
Must we help to send him back to the land
| of chains and tortnres, from which he fed
| through troops of blood-hounds scenting out
| his track; through forests where wild beasts
prowl in the darkness: through rivers and dis
NAL swamps; with no eye to pity him, save
| Gods shining through the North Star, guild
ing HIS despairng child to the nearest asy-
| luIn. where the wicked cease from troubling?
Serious solemn, mementous, ara all these
enquiries! What shall our answer be? First,
we viii ask the Legislature to pass law thak
shall forever protect our State from the desc
Grating presence Of the slave hunter. BY tho
,ugitiye Save Billof 1850, we are now iorbid-
len to shelter or assist the lorlonest stranger
who ever appealed for sympathy and ald.
Fines and iinprsonmepts inpend over us i0r
exercising one of the holiest charities OF our
Religion. The Law Of God is detied. Vice
the toulest, the blackest, is exalted to virtues
while virtue, humanity and holiness, are leg
slated into crimes and Heavens own condi-
tons of salvation are impiously reversed. '.'
We rejoice to believe that our Legislature,
by passing a Personal Liberty Bid, can reme-
dy these fearful wrongs. A Petition for such
an act has been prepared to accompany this
appeai Yoa are asked to sign Il, 10 circulate
Il, to obtain for it the names Of all your neigh
bors an. fellow citizens, and 70 send il early in
January, to the Legislature. Petitions may
be sent 10 your Member Of Assembly or SEN
ater, or to George T. Bakea, Albany, N. T.
This is no formal, idle request, but an ear
nest, wel-eonsidered appeal, in the name Of
God and humanity, And this appeal is made
to you, reader, whoever you may be, a. one
upon whom the responsibility Of Gods law
INCREASINGLY rests. A o.l erl.i s la5 ..ll.

Black Republican eioicings.


The Black Republicans had jubilee at
Washington on the.2d, IN honor Of the cleo
ton of Pennington, A despatch says: -,..
The city has been wild with rejoicing dur
ing the night, over the election Of Speaker
1t IS participated in by all parties who have
suffered more Or less financially in the delay
of the organization. Speaker bennington and
MeSsrs. Sherman and Hickman were serenaded
at Wizards by Wither's- band, accompanied
by large company OF citizens and residents
of the District : Willard's Hotel was thronged
with people, and the sentiments uttered by
the SPEAKER, AND SHERMAN, AND
HICKMAN, WERE BOLD AND DE
sCIDED AGAINST THE EssEXTENSION
OF SLAVERY. The serenaders proceeded
TO the residence of LII. Winter Davis, but did
not find him at home. They then proceeded,
about | O'Clock, to the residence of Mr.. Grow,
and called him out of his bed, who responded

.sa " z for the SSfSSIpD1I7l.
Mr.. EDITOR Having full confidence in
the good willof the Legislature TO protect the
cultiyators Of the soil, who feed the world, l
wish to call their attention to the last article
on page 186 of the Revised Code, which reads
thus I: as3 - 2 .t- 'fti-
"ART 10, If any person shall throw down
any gate, bars, fence or fences ihclosing lands
not his own, without the permission OF the
esn ner, or shall in any manner iniure or deface
any building not his own, he shall pay to the
owner twenty dollars for every such offence
to be recovered before a Justice of the Peace,
and shall moreover be liable to all damages that
may have resulted from such aet"
Now, if all men We're solvent, the above
would be ample. But when the fact is taken
into consideration, that such acts are usually
dene by irresponsible scamps out of whom .
dime could not be made, the above law is 4
mere mockery instead of protection. A case
came undermy knowledge, during last season,
in VIII ch an insolyent man whose wife had
property, threw down aifield fence, left it
down, and afterwards made fun Of the circum-
stance! He "did not care a fig for dozen
such judgments.p Thus you see that an nm
pfincipled scoundrel, under the protection of
one statute, can violate another with impuni-
ty, ana laugh 1T the injured party. Therefore
would most respectfully suggest the follow
ing very small amendmentto to said 19tharticle,
viz . and shall be imprisoned until the money
is paid, &C. ~. 81 y CULTIVATION.

An election by the House is made By States,
each State having one vote, and majority of
all the States being necessary to elect. There
are thirty-three States, and seventeen are re-
quired to elect. It will be seen that there
would be little chance for Black Republican,
as the Democrats have fourteen States, and the
three Southern States Kentucky, North Car
olina and Maryland whose delegations being
equally divided, hold the balance OF power;
and with Tennessee, (another Southern State, }
will furnish one more vote than is necessary
to effect choice. If Winter DAVIS, the Amer
ican Black Republican, should succeed in car
rying Maryland for the anti-slavery candidate,
and the Illinois delegation shonld break off in
the same direction, the success Of the Seward
candidate would thereby DO secured. But ut
all events, the South will stand better chance
in the House than in the Electoral College,
because in the former the small Democratic
States like Oregon and Florida will have the
same strength which large Black Republican
States like New York and ohio have. An
election by the House is not necessity to be
lamented by the South.

JAMES BAILEY, of Mississippi, died q few
weeks ago, at the residence of his brother
near Versailles, in Kentucky. He had been in
feeble health for some years, and had spent
the summer at Old Point Comfort, in the hope
that he night derive benefit from the bathing
and the air. He was native of Kentucky, 10
which his father and several of his brothers
removed from The neighborhood of the pits in
Go .ertield, more than sixty years ago. A
large portion OF the coal property belonged to
his family, after whom "Bailey's Hill " was
called. The subject of our memoir removed
from his native State to NJ ississippi about
forty years ago. He Was man OF fine sense
and great energy rs well as of many noble
qualities. At the time Of his death, he was
one Of the largest planters in the Southwest,
his crops annually averaging from $500 10
J.uaU bales of cotton He was sixty four years
old when he died.
Mr. Il. had many friends and relations In
this city and State, and we take this method
OF apprising them of his death.
