At heart has taken her stand in the Sitme ranks,
under circumstances that added additioual impor

Kentucky and Maryland, in like manner, have
declared for the Compromise, as a "final and com
plete seitlement of the vexed questions which they
embraced," and have not been, sparing in their
condemnation, at the polls, of those who have
sought to re open and renew them.
In Virginia aud Louisiana., though no elections
have takes place, since the passage of the Com

ply warrant us in the assertion, that the love of
Ihe Union and tjie determination to maintain it
siiist all assaults, "on account of what has been
done," are not less deeply rooted than in their sis

Volume LIU,:
Effzcts of Abolitioxism uros the Colored
RACEThe following article from the'New York
Express" clearly foreshadows what is destined to
be the ultimate policy of the Free States, with
reference to the immigration of free blacks into
their borders. It is well known that Indiana has
already passed an edict of exclusion upon them,
cutting them off by one indiscriminate sentence
from all the rights of citizenship and residence,
and every such example, even in the absence of those
scenes that are being daily enacted in ihe Free
Slates, carries with it a constraining influence.
By circumscribing the area into which this general,
ly worthless race can carry its vices and its help
lessness, it will array more strongly against it ihe
prejudices of thoso with whom it is thus brought
into closer neighborhood or more immediate con
tact. Their certain expulsion from Stfue to State
will make tbc policy on the part of the other States
a defensive one, to interpose barriers agaiust their
ingress. It will be no less tlie policy or the Slave
States to drive them froin their owohorder!6', where
they age, in the main, but a festering sore upon
ihe body politic. If the Abolitionists be, what
they- represent themselves, the friends of the
black, and not their worst enemies, here is a pro
blem that should engage all their philanthropy.
By their wicked and mischievous agitation, they
are not only laying up for themselves a day of re
tribution, but for the objects of their false and
hollow zeal, a fate of uttt-r wretchedness and final
extermination.
From the N. Y. Express. .
"It continues to be stated in several of our city
journals, with decided emphasis iu the Abolition ones,
with qualiricati n, however, iu journals of equivocal
position, that the fugitive slave law cannot be peace
ably executed in tho free States, or, if executed at a:l,
with bo much repugnance as to amount to civil dis
qualitieuliou for otlice of all of us who hold a Federal
Law to be so supreme that it must be executed, with
our moral aid always, with our bodily presence, even,
if necessary, or demanded by the officers of the Law.
It is very evident that, as one of our journals some
day siuce stated, the Law is to be portrayed so as
to create a popular opinion which wid damn every
body supporting its execution. Tho Christiana and
Syracuse outrages are the results of their portraits ;
ana u tney go on witii uietr portraits, we shall have
them everywhere iu the free States, where negroes
running away from the Southern States choose to
stop.
This being the fact, it now begins to be time to
agitate another question, aud that is. tin txchtsiun by
law of the immigration of blackt into the free State
If every runaway negro is to bring with him a !y in
cuse fight, lot us forbid negroes by law from coining
here. VYw nave in this statu prohibited them Irom
voting unless they have a large property qualification,
aud, no doubt, a majority to prohibit tlieir entry here
could be got just as large as that which prohibited
them from voting. We cannot afford to make the
free States a buttle ground for runaway negroes.
We canuot afford to have the repetition of Christiana
aud Syracuse outrages. We cannot afford the ill
will, the bad blood, the maiming and murder, the Ab
olitiouists, through the means of thess rurfaway ne
groes, get up between the North and the South
The true remedy is to tor bid the numigaatioii of ne
groes, and to slop the entry of any more of them into
the free States. As lout; a.-, the white and the black
were permitted to live peaceably together, no such
law was necessary ; but, as the Abolitionists are bent
upon bringiug us into con -taut collision with the law,
we must remove all causes of such collision by refu
sing to liave any m re negroes come among us.
The first duty of society is to itself; and il strangers
come into it, bringing not iii.'.g but tha seeds of iins
chief, and, perhaps, of civil war, it is not only just,
but uidispeusably necessary, that their coming should
be prohibited. Society is a State family ; ana as
the Family turns trom its doors the neighbor who
would bri.ig disturbance and disorder in'o it, 8o ought
the State Family to turn from the State like elements
of disorder or discord Thus, if b acks can no longer
come among us but upon the repetition of Christiana
and Syracuse scenes, they must no longer come,
they-muit be prohibited from entering the State. Of
course if there are no fugitives, there will be no fugi
tive Act to be executed here ; and thus the Abolitiou
ists will be gratified, and we all shall be saved from
the disgrace of treason, mobs, murder and maim.
No t Uage permits a powder magazine to be in the
midst of it. These runaway negroes, it seems, arc in
some lit le villages powder magazines, which blow
otherwise peaceable peop'c inte that state of combus
tibility which makes them burn the Statute Laws,
aud even the Federal Constitution itself. The best
way ot getting along with such combustible neigh
bors is to remove the powder magazine
It is pretty well settled ia the free States now,
that the whites and the blacks are not permitted to
live on anything like equal terms together. W e have
given them, it is true, what is called Liberty, that :s
we do not buy and sell their bodies but we crush
their spirits, their very souls. Weal'ow them scarce
ly one of the riijhts and privileges of citizens. We
elect thorn to nothing but degrade them iu everything.
W e sedulously exclude them from trades. W e drive
them out of our school bouses. We will not have
them in our bouses of God. We refuse even to go
down to the fame gTrtve yard with them. The less
therefore, that we have of a population that our socie
ty holds in such unutterable degradation, certainly the
bettor for the Stale. Our prisons are full of them.
We treat them so badly as by our agency to reverse
towards them the ordinance of Heaven which incul
cates the propagation of kind ; for our census returns
now show that the black man is hardly allowed to in
crease bis species m the e Northern states. The ex
istence among irt of such a people, we infer, therefore,
is so unnatural, that it ought not to be encouraged, if
uot ibrbid.
Besides, the runaway fregroes that come to the free
States from the South, rt is well known, are the worst
species of that sort of population there ; and if there
be reason, therefore, for objecting to making this coun
try the Botauy Bay ground of the white man of Eu
rope, there is still better reason for objecting to make
it the Botany Bay ground of the black man of the
Southern States. The runaway slave oftener runs
nwav from some crime he has committed, irr conse'
queuce of the punishment apprehended for it. than
for any other cause. If the moral statistics oi runa
way negroes could bo collected, we will venture to
say that eighty out of one hundred became runaways
for crimes, which if they were white men, would un
der the Constitution and the laws, cause their surren
der without a word of fault finding or of excitement
The negro steals, or in the modem vocabulary, takes,
and to avoid punishment runs away. Or, if he has broken
,mA of the sofcal and moral laws which all just white
men respect, to rid himself of the admonition or chas-
tisement a use vioiauon oi sum iawo uuiu
the white man, he flies beyond the jurisdiction ol bis
master. Nor is this a harsh inference, because the
black population of the free States is shown by all
criminal statistics to be abounding in crime. Our
jails and prisons, and penitentiaries are full of them.
.Now a further increase of such a population is, of it
self, injurious to the state, aod the quicker we stop
its imimgratlou tmuier, tne oeiter, luerejore, ior iu
State." 1
It ia by no means" upon the free colored pnpula .
tion alone that the disastrous effects of Abolition
agitation have operated. It has wrought no less
iniurv upon the slave birnsclf. We wiil not say
that it has prevented his ernancipaibnf but it has
certainly deferred for a long time the possibility of
uch a thin-;. Where is the man', at this day,
who would utter in our midst such sentiments as
were uttered in the Convention that amended our
State Constitution, sixteea years ago only, by
Judge Gaston and other distinguished members
of that body ? Aud this state of tilings arises not

the present feverish state of the Southern mind, to
utter such sentiments, but from the conviction,
which has properly fastened itself upon onr people,
that our negroes are far happier men, better fed
better-clothed and belter cared for, than if left to
be provided for by the tender mercies of those, who '
have sho vn that they are pursuing the phantom o
an abstraclion rather than the substantial good of
the objects of their zeal, who have set at defiance,
in the prosecution of their nefariou and unhal lowed

and patriotic.
DISCUSSION IN RICHMOND.
Messrs. Botts and Caskik continued on Friday eve- ,
ning last, in Richmond, a discussion that they had j -
, , . 1 1
previously commenced the former leading off m a
speech of about an hour and a half, ami the latter re
plying at equal length.
We gather from the report of the speeches iu the
"Times," that Mr. Botts devoted himself mainly to
power. Judge Caskie's published speech is certainly
a very ingenious electiMieeiii'g effort, but it is singu
larly wantmg in directness and devoid of argument.
For the life of us, we cannot ascertou his real posi
sition on the sulject of secession. He asserts the
right of a State to secede, if the constitution be vio
lated, but fails to announce dis:inctly his opinion on
the question, whether the other States, denying the
infractiuu. have a right to coerce the sece ling State.
Once, it seems, be approached the point, iindstumb'cd
just iu sight of it. lie bad formerly told Mr. Botts
that if Vermont should nullify the fugitive law, he j
would enfore it by means of the federal troops. Mr.
Botts bad then put the case, that Vermont chould '
secede rather than submit to the law, and Judge
Cajkie said he would let her go. But Mr. Botts pres
sing him still farther, in this List debate, asked what
would become of our fugitive slaves ? A nd the J udge
answered, be would make war upon Ye: mont to com
pel her to deliver them up ! Why then, do you not
make war upon Canada ? Because we have no treaty
with England guaranteeing the delivery of fugitives,
replied the Judge. And to this Mr. Botts retorted
that, according to Judge Caskle's doctrine, Vermont,
by seceding, would put an end to the Constitution,
a:.d there would then be no more a treaty with her
than with Great Briituiu !! Though one would think
that the J udge was fairly cornered, his friends, who
were evidently determined to give him the benefit
of the loudest noise, cheered him as lustily as if he had
achieved a logical triumph.
We notice, by the way, in the published report of
the speeches of these gentlemen, that while, so far as
appears upon the face of it, Judge Caskie was treated
with the.utmost courtesy, 'the Democracy' frequently
hissed Mr. Botts. This is good evidence that they
were well roa sled, to say uothing of their bad man
ners !
CALIFORNIA A WHIG GQVEILNOR.
: The partial returns of the late election in Califor
nia, giveu in the Telegraphic statement in another col
umn, are not confirmed by later and more explicit
accounts. Returns from the counties of San Frausis "
co, Yolo. Nevada, El Dorado, Solano, Martin, Tuol
umne, San Joaquin, Calevaras, and Santa Clara give
Pearse B. Reading, tW big) a majority over John Big
ler, (Dem.) of about 1.000, and the balance of the
State ticket from 600 to 800. The counties of Men
docina, Napa, Klamath, Trinity, Sha6ta, Los Angelos
San Louis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz
will, it is said, give Reading at least 5,000 majority.
This puts his election beyond a doubt, and the same
vote wid elect the niost of tho State ticket: The Dem
ocrats have probably carried the Legislature, though
the whole is in confusion, and it is impossible to con.
jecture what the result is. Both parties claim the as
cendancy. K7" Newspapers throughout the State of New
York unite in condemning the late opposition to the
laws of the United States at Syracuse, in wresting a
prisoner from the custody of a United States officer,
The Journal of Commerce publishes an immense
number of signatures got up under the auspices of the
"Union Safety Committee" several thousand in nun
ber, comprising many of the most substantial and
worthy citizens without distinction of party eudors-
ing a resolution on the subject, which is strong and
decided. It sustains the Compromise, in all its parts.
It deprecates a further agitation of the slavery ques
tion in Congress, as dangerous to the Union of the
States. It pledges the signers to support no candid
ate at the ensuing or any other election for State offi
cers or for members of Congress, who is known or be
lieved to be opposed to the Compromise measures,
or any of them, or in favor of re-opening the ques
tdons involved in iberri, for-renewed agitation.
'I he latest accounts from Syracuse state that nu
mcrous depositions had been taken before Commis
sioner Sabine bearing upon' the' rescue of the slave
from the officers of the law, and siveral arrests
having been resolved upon, the ringleaders of tat riot
would not escape punishment.

For the outlines ol the affair we must refer to
our paper of Thursday. In that rpport we find
nolhiriff that req iires alteration. These outlines
we now propose to fill up, to render the picture of
1 heir infamy more complete, who, occupying a re
spectable station in society, incited, by the busst
means, a horde of ruffians to desecrate the temple
of justice and to violate a law of ihe U. Sla'es.
The riot commenced in the Commissioner's of
fice in the-second story of the Townsend Bl -ck.
The principal ins" ig i tors iif H were two physicians
and a clergyman of this city. The fugitive was
seized by a negro carman of this ciiy.
The fugitive was recaptured and consigned to
1 the police office. Then the abolitionists renewed
! the excitement, and their orators by inflammatory
j appeals to the crow d which collected in front of
the omee strove, by every means in tfiii power.'o
incite them 1, an assault upon the Marshal and
hlsas.s'ls'iin'9' , , , .
1 hi disgraceful s'ate of affairs continued from
, p ... iWt.ii-P.. Si A 1
aud all this while the Mayor made no attempt to
disperse the mob or to restore urder and obedience
to ihe laws, further ihan 10 ask tne rioters individ
ually to go home ! He never addressed the mob;
never read the riot act never, in a word, exercis
ed so much authoriiy as an efficient magistrate
would have done in the case of an ordiniry affray
among two or three persons.
The Sheriff being called upon for assistance by
the Marshal, very promptly requested the com
manders of the Citizen's Corps, the National
Guaids and the Washington Artillery, to oriler out
(heir companies. The oruer was as promptly com
plied with, and the companies were assembled at
tlieir armories ready f r duty, each man beingsup
plicd with tf.rre round o" bait cTrtrtrigV. Beiore
marching t the Sheriff's officer, however, Col.
O J. Vandenburgh the commander of Ihe regiment,
issued his ordr to Hie Captains if the three compa
nies forbidding linn to turn out ! He did this at
the solicitation ol Charles A. Wheaton and other
leading Abolitionists, and in accordance wiih his
own personal prejudices since be as heard t
express a desire that lh. laio hu)d not fc execu
t d, and his men determination to do ail m his
pmcer to prevent Us execution.
Having received an rder from their Colonel to
disbmd, the commanders of the companies had
no alternative but to obey, and the troops were ac
cordingly dismissed.
When it became known to the mob that the
troops were dismissed, they renewed their menaces
aaninst the officers, aud the black and white scoun
drels who addressed them redoubled their exer
lions to infl une them to the point requisite for ti'.e
accomp ishtnent of their infernal purpose. The
pelice office, in which the Commissioner was then
fielding his examination of iho case, Was assailed
with stones and the windows broketig until it be
came impossible to proceed with the case. An
hour and a half after the adjournment, the doors
were forced injaiid ihe fugitive rescued.
Col. Vandeiiburgh's conduct in this affvir is a
grava.ed hy the f ct that, after the final escape of
ihe fugitive, he issued an order f r the Citizen's
Corps to turn out immediately thus virtually ac
knowledging, by his own hand, when loo late, that
he had been gtuliy of an umustinable act, in pre
viously countermanding the order of the sheriff.
Several prominent citizens of Syracuse were cn
gaed in the riot, and have, therefore, rendered
themselves amenable to tire law.
The mob was composed chiefly of while mm,
and was swelled by the strangers in '.he city, it be
ing tiie day of the county lair, and an abolition
convention, ttie latter of which was on hand for a
full delegation of law breakers. .

The greatest excitement attended the case of
Whitaker r.hd MeKenzie, at San Francisco. They
were arrested at the instance of the Vigilance
Committee and kept in their custody, having con 1
fessed to a number of bold and daring robberies. !
On the 27th, before daylight, the city authorities 1
proceeded to the rooms of the committee, and j
without much hindrance conveyed the prisoners !
to the city jail. When the DoDulace were inform- !
cd of this, the wildest excitement was manifested,
and finally on Sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock,
they proceeded to the jail and forcibly rescued the
prisoners, and in an incredibly short spaco of time
launched them into eierniiy, amidst shouts of gra
tification from the crowd. After hanging an hour
they were cut down, nnd McKenzje being pro
nounced not dead by the physician, he was again
strung up till life was extinct. The crowd then
quietly dispersed and order was restored. Some
sdiots. were fired at the jail, but no one was se-riou-ly
injured.
Robi ii-son, the man hung at Sacramento, was
also taken by ihe people from the jail, and his
confession is a catalogue of villanies as black as
those lately made by the mm Stuart.

SHOCKING MURDER OF A BOY BY A
BOY !
Yesterday morning Richard A.Thomas, an ap
prentice in this office, aed about seventeen years,
was killed by Wm. Cudlipp, aed about fifeen.
unoer tne tollowing circumstances: Saturday
night, at the Theatre. Cudbpp dropped from the
2d 'ieran eg u;on Thomas, who pat in Ihe Pit.
Vesteriiay morning they met on 3d street, near
Broad, when an a terrarion took place about this
offence. No blows were struck : hut Cudlir.6 ran
to hrs home, which was not far off, on BrondstreeU
h's father, Benjamin Cudlipp, keeping a dyeing
and sc uring establishment there. Thomas? and
his young companions walked down Broad street
to the front pfGlazebrrKik's Carpenf's shop, about
a square west of Cudlipp's, and stopped there to
converse with other boys. In a little while young
Cudlipp's mother, a little sister, and himself came
up to them, and Mrs. C, considerably excited, ad
dressed herself to Thomas on the subject of the
difficulty with hrrson. The son took part in the
altercarion, which was finally suddenly broken off
by his plunging a dagger into the brea.-tof Thotn
ai! The. weapon struck just bolow the breast
bone, and penetrated several inches. Thomas,
aware that he was badly wounded, hurried with
his friends to his boarding house, on Marshall st..
about two pquares'off he reached it. but fainted
as he was going up the steps. Dr. Beale was cai
h d in, but found hini in a hoprle.-s condition. I !e
died ia a few minlites. These are the general
facts. The verdict of the Coroner's inquest was,
tiiat young lhomas came to his deal It from a
wound inflicted by Cudlipp with some sharp in
strument.
Young Thomas was one of the most gentle, Hind
and inoffensive boys we have ever known ; and we
were uever more surprised than when we heard
he had been murdered. How such a boy could
be involved in .circ umstances to excite bad blood
in any one's breast, is indeed surprising ; and that
his life should h ive been ternmuted by so bloody
a blow from such a youthful hand as Cudlipp's,
is indeed shocking. Ol'Cudlipp we know nothing
the wearing of a deadly weapon aiay have led
him to do a deed he did not dream of ; for this he
will have to answer. Bui the murder is arroihcr
lessoii 10 parents on the subject of iullowing Chil

Many hearts will feel the bitterness of the blow
which changed a visit of pleasure into a journey
t the grave. Mrs. James w-as little known beyond
the circle in which she moved, but in that circle
none could claim a higher esteem or purer love.
Gifted with few of those brilliant qu.iltiies which,
dazzle in society, she possessed in rare perfection
the social virtues which adorn and ennoble a quiet
family circle.
Her husband found in her a prudent counsellor,
a companion whose cheerful love was never clou '
ded, a helpmeet indeed, who lightened every sorrow
and multiplied joys and reuJered homeithe dearest
spot on earth. j.
Her children learned from her the true 8i?nifi
cance ol a mother. Their joys and their troubles
never lacked a tender and mpaihizlng hearr.and
her yearning love seemed only lo gairrin tender
ness and strength when in years ol maluritj they
left the (ami y rool f,,r a new home. !
A generous hospitality endeared her to many
hearts. Her doors were never closed against the
lone stranger, and hundreds of christianministers
and pilgrims can testify to her cordial welcome,
an l4to that un assuming kindness wtiicli anticipated
every want, and abouiided in the little attentions
so grateful to a wanderer from home.
Her christian character was uniformly beautiful
and consistent. Baniized

;i 1 uent membors of the New Market Street
Lnnrch.aud for twenty-Fix years continued in its
fellowship. She then removed by letter to the
Filih church, and this relation coniinucd till the
severance by death.
Her piety was free fiom the sudden fluctuations
which torture many christian discip'es. It was
remarkably steady .and unlforn, resting on a
strong convicuon of the worth of personal religion
and clear recognition of duty, and a cheerful sub
mission to its nquireuienis. She loved the Bible,
