was the cause of entailing slavery upon this
country; and also tbnt slavery existed in
' Kngland under Al'red the Great, who made
I laws relative to tbe sale of slaves ; and it is

beating and chaining him, and if he abseo-
ted himself for a fortnight, with a brand ou

His neck, his leg, or his arm could be cir-
' c'
vim nun inic
on -England's laws! Even in 1517 a run-
away apprentice became by Btatute a slave.
Is there anything in American slavery that!
can equal Ibi
No.
The Charleston Convention.
This body met yesterday, and a very
lariie number of Delegates will be iu atten
dance. From the fact that the Democratic
Party is flooding the country with the last
Speech of Judie Dju.-Us in the U. S. Sen
ate (one person receiving no le-s thaa three
t !.... .1, , . fr , -i)
ties) we teiieve mat a strong cturt will
be made t) give him the nomination. How
democrats after abusing Jude Douglas so
unscrupulously as they all have at the South
cau be induced to take him up, is one of
the paradoxes of the party. This is tto mat
ter of o'trs yet we cannot help expressing sur-
prise. The party may however reconcile their
consistencies as they nuy-but it does seem
as if belonging to the Democratic Party is
a paoacea for all political diseases, no mat
ter what its grade or character. Although
Judg-Douglas is iu favor cf squatter sove
reignty yet the p;irty is v.ii!ing to gulp l.itn
down squatter sovereignty and all. See
an article io another columu from tho
Charleston Mercury.
The Printing Committee.
We have given the evidence taken before
the Printing Committee, which nut readers .
can fxm.ice for themselves. It is very
...... ii,,i ..., t .
certuu that corruption exists somewhere in
the management of tbe affairs of the govern
ment if tho itnesc4 are to be reiied upon.
Let the revler bear iu mind that the Pre
sident aided in giviug a contract to a firm
in Pbi.adclpb.ia, who could turn out some 3
or 4 '0 men to tbe polls, not that it was the
lowest bid, but because it could aid Florence
gaining bis election. When a Presideut '
could do this it is not hard to believe any
that uiluesscs miht testify relative to him.
Vfho is to bo Believed.
Tbe Iulcigh standard, of tbe 21st iu
statit, states that Mr. Pool never voted for
any appropriation U build Western rail
roads.
Now, Mr. Pool in his Gatjsvilla Speech
refers to tbe Journal where he voted
for the Western Extension and the Wilming
ton Charlotte and Rutherford rail roads.
No v, oue or the other is wrong. Who
Itcannotbe Mr. Pol because bo
refered to the page where it was recorded
in the Journal. Tbe Hundard, we fear is
not disposed to do justice to an opponent
or else be would not have made such
or else be would
uiiarepresentalioo.
Something Now.
The Acts of Congress suppressing the
Slave Trade makes it necessary for the Uui
ted States to show that the Lcrots were
free iu Africa, aud this being impossible, it
is thought these laws are a nullity. If this
is true, it is a little singular that it has not
been found out before. Judge Magrath
Las decided that importing Africans into
this country, who were not free in Africa,
is not so offence sgaiost the Act of 1(),
contemplates the seizure and importation of
ers: ls who are free.

A roll of tbe Churches was then called,

a complete statement of the operations
of the Society during the past year, as
uiauy of the churches have failed to send
up a report of their transactions in be'iaif
of tbe objects of tbe Society, and conse
quently the Board of Mauagcrs havo becu

Kev. J. Humple theu offered the follow

admitted that tbe CFotrcbes were Dot doing
what tbey might do in, the distribution of

that the responsibility of distributing the
