SYMPATHY. Mr Hale, the abolition Sen
ator from New Hampshire, acknowledged in the
Senate that a colored man applied to him repre
senting himself a fugitiue slave, and asked for.
help pecuniarily. Mr Hale was disposed to help
him, bat observing that the man kept his hat on
while talking to him, he concluded that he was
not a fugitive slave, and sent him off! Do you
mind that now: There is a frank confession
that those silly fanatics will do that for a run
away negro which they would not do for a needy
creature not in that detectable situation. This
is a free country we know; but really we feel
like hanging such law-defying fanatics.
The Washington city correspondent of the
Charleston Courier says :
There can be no iluubt that, before long,
the movement alrearijr commenced, for the
ejection of all blacks from the free States,
will be carried out. An experienced and
Firactical man from New-England, former
y an influential member in the Mouse,
told me,, yesterday, that a fued was risinc
even in Boston, between a class of whites
and blacks, which must lead to extreme
measures, on the part of the former, and
that the latter must be expelled, by force,
or by legislation, which amounts to the
same thing.
We tell the free negroes that in less than 10
years we think it very probable they will begin
to find M no rest for the Soles of their feet" save
in their congenial Africa. They will have to go
to Liberia, and the sooner the better.
This gives us an opportunity to say that a year
or two ago, an intelligent free man applied to us
for information in regard to Liberia, and we
furnished him with every item he wanted; he
was satisfied from what we showed him, that it
was best for him to go. He accordingly made up
his mind to that effect, and through the agent of
the colonization society, with whom we have
some acquaintance, we procured him a reasona
ble passage for himself and wife. We have since
heard tTiat he is well pleased.' " ""
09 Will it be believed that some white per
sons in this town undertook to persuade that
man not to go to Liberia, telling him he would
die in a few weeks from the fever, &,c. ? yet such
we were informed was the fact, and were almost
provoked at the time to hold up their names to
public reprobation. , Any man that advises a
free negro to stay in this country, is either not
a friend to the negro, or else he has not intelli
gence enough to know what sort of a country
Liberia is.
CALIFORNIA. The Legislature assembled
on 6th January. The Senate, says the Union,"
consists of T5 members, and exhibits a demo
cratic majority of two. The House presents a
tie between the two parties. T "indepen
dents" will therefore decide most of the politi
cal matters '
Gov. Burnett's resignation was offered to en
able him to attend to his own business. It was
wise in him if he had any to attend to. It is too
often the case that people try to get the superin
tendence of the public business because they can'
not get any other business that will pay.
Ccj-The recent rescue . of a fugitive 'slave in
Boston, is the third occurrence of the kind says
the New York Express, that has happened in
Boston. One in 1794, and another in 1836. The
offenders in neither case, we suppose, were ever
punished.
JCy In the Virginia Convention for the revi
sion of the Constitution, more debate has taken
place upon the simple question of the eligibility
of the Governor, than ought to have occurred on
a far more important subject. One party ad
vances the best of reasons why the Governor of
the State should he eligible to a second term;
while the other advances almost as good reasons
why he should not be.
We are inclined to consider it a matter of
moonshine, after all. But it shows what a moun
tain may be made of a mole hill. Some people
have a penchant that way.
CtJ- It seems to be a settled fact that the slave
which the mob in Boston rescued from the Mar
shal, has arrived in Canada. If he does not
starve there, he will be lucky. '
CO The Richmond Republican says that sev
eral of the members of the Virginia Convention
for revising the Constitution, who came from
the largest slaveholding districts in the west, are
the most urgent for the white basis of represen
tation. Many years ago, Stephen Sparks
removed from Mecklenburg Count, Vir
ginia, to North Carolina, and a few years
ago he died intestate in Franklin County.
He left no child but it is believed he had
brothers and sisters. If this notice should
reach any of them, it may serve to inform
them that they are interested in his Estate
and upon application to me, I will instruct
them how and where they mar ascertain
its value, &c. - By request of the Ad
ministrator. XV. II. HAYWOOD. Jr,

POPULATION OF THE U. STATES
In the Table of Population and Repres
entation, as given on Monday in the Intel
ligencer, an error occurred in estimating
the Representative "population in North
Carolina at 643,000. instead of 748.000,
based on 575,000 free inhabitants and
288.000 hi axes. This, of course, will en
title North Carolina to eight members and
a small traction over. We republish the

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Capital punishment has been abolished
for several years in Michigan. But it
would appear from the following resolu
tions adopted at a late meeting of the Com
mon Council of Detroit, that the people of
that portion of Michigan are not satisfied
with the effects of the abolition of capital
punishment in that State :
Resolved, That it is the painful con
viction of this Council' that the safety and
protection of human life imperiously de
mand the reinstating of the death penaltv
for murder in the criminal code of laws of
Michigan.
Resolved, That we. the Common
Council of the city of Detroit, in council
convened, do hereby respectfully, though
earnestly, request our State legislature
to give the above subject their serious con
sideration, and in view of the alarming
multiplicity of murders in the State of
Michigan, see if the above Heath-penalty
is not absolutely necessary.
The New York Globe remarks that the
only objection to hnzing is that it is too
good for some sorts of offenders.
During the close of 1850, a malignant
fever attacked the inhabitants of Cape de
Verd Islands. Scarcely a pcrawcaped.
and of 4,500 inhabitants, meare than 700
died in four months la the midst ut
these calamities, a hurricane, in a few
hours, swept away all the crops and
destroyed nearly few hundred bouses.
