THE sLAvEowNER's DECLARATION,

A, PREPARED BY SOUTH CAROLINA, AND PROPOSED
BIZ HER AS FITTING TO BE ADOPTED by THE SLAVE
IBy Repaired Atlantic Telegraph
We the States whose representatives have sub
ecibed to the following declaration, do hereby assert
and affirm:
That all mankind have perfect and equal right to
freedom, if they can keep it
That their being unable keep it is proof that they
have no right to 1t.
That the presence of any cooring matter In skim as
In water proof offered by nature Of the inferority
Of the article.
That we have heard with unutterable disgust and
contempt, that Professor Owen considers Adam ana
Eve to have had colored skins and that we should
like to leave the said Professor without any SKID al
all.
That the Iawfuness of Slavery is clearly and inds
putsbly proved from the Bible inasmuch az st. Paul,
writing to Onesimus, slave, never told him to run
away.
That if there were no other reasons for unfolding
Slavery the dsstsrdly and sycophanc meanness which
would be shown In initiating the corrupt and exploded
old mother country IN abolihing the institution If
enough TO make every real American spit upon the pro-
posal and lynch the proposer.
That Slavery is the most humane institution in the
world, for inasmuch as half the SORROWS Of white
persons arise from the sOrrows of their husbands
wives or children, in forbdding race TO have any
husbands wives children TO call their own we de-
prve that race Of one-half the suffering we undergo
That England has 10 night TO say word IN the
matter while in Ireland there ia Protestant church.

OF generalization and misery that it is called the Isle OF
Dogs.
That having thus proved from Scripture, from phil
psophy from philanthropy, and from ethnology, that
Slavery is the nobest institution in existence, and that
Patriotism and sefrespect alike forbid to bring it
into jeopardy,
We hereby declare: -
That we shall have great pleasure in handing $50 900
to any one who will bring us the head of one Abraham
Lincoln and with still greater pleasure will we band

NpoRTssT DEcrsIos BY THE Corr orAPPEALs.-
The Court Of Appeals have decided, in the case of
Adophne Ranney, the first case which has arisen In
tia, Court under the act Of 1853, TO punish gross
frauds and suppress mock auctions, that the Leesla
rse In passing that act, failed to create new oiene,
or 10 furnish the criminal law with any additional rem
edy asiin,t mock-auction frauds. The Court upset
Ranneys conviction, and discharged him from the inn
prsonment which be had begun to suffer. Ranney's
oTense was one which if not known to the laws as Il
crime ought to be placed upon the stautebooks by the
Legislature forthwith.

ceptrd. Gen. Chase has gone again to Montgomery.

This is a very good way of putting the Gaze. The

phrase than backing out" But they mean precisely
tie same thing.

ENGLISH PRIzE BEEF rs. AMERICAN PRIZE BEEy.
There seems be prevalent opinion in both coun-
tries that England altogether exceeds America in beef
cattle Probably, as general thing, the weight and
quality of bulocks sent to the English SHAMELESS do
excel those of this country This is because the En-
gh farmers have learned by long experience, that
il about the poorest sort Of economy for farmer to
send lean bulocks to the butcher such many thou
sands that are slaughtered here.
That the wellfed beasts Of that country excel the
well-fed ones of this we do not believe. We have
now before us an English paper, The Ererr and
Plymouth Gazette of Dec. 81, 1860, which, in city
item, under the head of Butchers, gives the weights
of several prize bullock" bought by the butchers of
that place and exhibited with pride upon their STALL,
az christmas beef" The weights of some Of the
ch DIGEST of these animals are given as follows:

day morning. made the Of another domestic aay
which will doubtless prove fatal to husband and his
wife. The facts of the occurrence are as follows;
Hugh Ward an Irishman, having failed TO provide for
his wife and children for number of years, she was
Obliged 10 work out to obtain livelihood. Recently
she was thrown out of employment, and went to live
with her brother-in.law, Peter Howley, at No. 26S
Avenue A. On Tuesday afternoon she went 10

ANAL sum Of money and drew out $50. portion OF
this amount was her own earnings, and portion be-
onced to her husband who was obliged to deposit in
his wlfe's maine Oh account of his creditors On We'd
neaday morning. Mr.. Ward ascertaned that his wife
had drawn the money from the bank and became ter
ribly enraged thereat. Procuring revolver and
dirk-knife, he immediately proceeded to the house
where bis wife staying, fully resolved il seems to
recover the money or take her life.
On applying for admission to the house in Avenue A.
he was Immediately shown into the room where sat
his wife, Az be entered tie room he demanded Of her
the money she had drawn from the bank She refused
TO give il TO him. as portion Of it was her own earn
ngs, and she claimed the rest to support her children
WITH He then asked for half the money which was
refused wherenpon he fred two shots at her, missing
each time The friends then inlerfered, and prevented
further violence After remaining in tic room short
time Mr. Ward asked his wife to step into the hall
with him, Us he wished to speak to her. She COM
piled, when he said he wanted to bid her goodbye
forever, and asked her TO kiss him for the last time
A. she consented to this he threw his arms around her
neck and hastily drawing his dirk-kne, stabbed her
three times in the side and abdomen
The unfortunate woman fell bleeding 10 the floor,
while her husband rushed down stairs into the street.
