Editors of the Register.
In the WEEKLY REGISTER of the End
inst, there is letter from Roane county
dated September 2lst, 1874, over the sig
nature of "B," imputing the authorship
of an article in the State journal of the
previous week. concerning the Hon.
Thomas Terrell, Democratic candidate
for the State Senate, to II little lawyer
preacher" by whichit isundcrstood that |
am meant. | was not the author OF the
article referred to, nor can l conceive
why b. should have imputed it to me, or
why he should have rushed into print
with such an imputation without know
ing or having reason To know that
wrote the article.
The editors of the REGIsTER-a paper

tions when l wanted them to appear in

appear in the paper of my choice or not

feel especially provoked at that inn
putation, because my name was used IN
connection with the nomination for the
State Senate in this district, and l had
some warm supporters in this county for
the nomination, in fact seven of the
eleven delegates at the convention from
Roanc favored my nomination, but deem
ing the nomination Of Mr.. Terrell assured
by the convention of which / was n
member, my name was not used before
the convention, and | fully acquiesced in
the nomination of Mr. Ferrcll, and there

ing" at him. Hoping that those who

in it, will see my denial Of being the
author of the article referred TO, | am,

ANOTHER wILBERFORCE WANTED

The modern progressive English
man Is very proud of the fact that his
government took the initiatory step in
the great emancipation measures that
have recently made millions Of slaves
free. From the following sketch in the
London Times II world seem, however.
that England was sadly IN need of
another Wilberforce:
1t can scarcely be known IN Eng
land that IL the English settlements on
the Gold Coast slavery exists in a most
hideoUs and revolving form. and is not
only tolerated. but formally recognized
and sanctioned by law. 1t is generally
believed that where English rule
pre.aiis slavery cannot exist.
Yet all the force and authority
Of English law IS exCrted to assist the
slave-owneT IN his claim % his human
chattels. The slavery which exists here
is termed domestic slavery The real
meaning of this term simply is that the
slave-owner cannot export his slaves.
This is the one practical limitation
placed upon his power. A slave can be
bought and sold within the limits Of
this settlement almost as freely rs a
sheep or an OK. Even the deck of an
English vessel does not afford prOtec-
sion or safety to the fugitive slave.
Elsewhere an English vessel is re-
garded as an inviolabfe asylum
fdr the oppressed. Slaves are con-
stantly dragged from English yes
sells under the warrant Of an English
Judge. to be consigned to hopeless
slavery. On the FIRST Of this month a
wretchod female slave was carried
through thestreetso of Cane Coast bound
hand and foot. Her piteOus shrieks
and cries attracted the attention OF a
high military official, who inteTfered To
ascertain what Oifpse the woman had
committed, and why she received such
treatment. He found that there was
no charge against her, save that she
had endeayored to escape from slavery,
and that she was then being, under due
legal process. carried back to her master.
He had TO stand back out OF respect 70
the law, and group Of English Off
GERS who were near had to look on in
silent shame, while theunhappy woman
was carried of. yainly cntreating their
assistance. IL is difficult tOunderstand
why such a state Of things should be
tolerated here Slavery has been abol-
Ished IN Sierra Leone, lagos, and the
and no good reason can BE- as
signed for a different rule prevailing in
other places. The Fantcs are about !
the most debased and cowardly race on |
the coast. Why for such a people should
the very fundamental principles and
doctrines Of English law be set at
laught: 1t should not be tolerated
hat such people should dictate to us"
