a scene occurred upon the J.ouisville mad
boat Seioio, before she started, w inehdi sen's
a passing notice. A gentleman, who.n we
afierwards learned was Mr. Omllc Thomas,
of llayou Sara, came on board, (allowed bv a
stalwart looking mulatto with a trunk, which
was given in charge of Smith, the purler.
When that was taken care of, Mr. Thomas
approached Capt. Summons, with whom we
were talking al lhc lime, and said : " Captain,
Fin going down to Louisville wilh you, but
here is a boy that I wish to give hi lib'riy,
and you can tell to whom I shall npply loget
his free papers made out." The buy seemed
astonished, nnd asked Ins mailer why he
wished lo get rid of him. " Well," a d Mr.
Thomas, "I am told lhal you have been
herding with the abolitionist since we came
here, uufl that they have agreed lo do better
I by you than I do; so you can leave me t
once, lor if you want to go with diem, yon

watch you, and" if 1 had 1 would not be both

buy actually heggod not to be turned off in

In all the counlries of Europe, nearly
half the people are armed to keep dowll he
other half. England is no excejition ; for,
though her standing army I lc in perfect

whole system, an tinned police, equal to the :

ism of. liie continent, is kept in pay, end:
conslant, unsleeping activity to keep down'
the people. W ere the European aristocracy
in place itself in the same position towards
Ihe people that the planters of Ihe Sotillt- do
alway in respect to iheir negroes were j
kings and nobles lo disband Iheir armies, lo
present themselves stripped of all artificial'
support, face to face with their subjects, a
the planter does dally and constantly to his
negroes to trust to iheir assumed and ficti
tious superiority, as the planter doc to hi
real and natural superiority, the. eniire crew
of fictitious and painted humanity would be
received willi a roar of derision from the Vol
ga to the Thames; and their aelual inferiori
ty and utler insignificance would bean palpa
bly revealed lo the people, that the latter
would scarcely condescend to even punish
them for llieir past transgressions.
Even as things are now, if some Suther
land, for instance, should go anion- hit peas
ants, and, taking off his coat, go t i work with
them, and trust in hi supposed or assumed
superiority, where would he be ul the end of
a suiglu week ! The men who only see him

These two things, which have no resem
blance whatever which are a far (part at
truth and falsehood, a right and wrong, a
the law of naluic and the result of human
contrivances, are cunloundcd continually, and
ilie ignorant and deluded mass- in Europe
constantly prompted by the agenls and hire
ling of aristocracy lo consider ihe eondilion
of the negro and their own lo be Ihe same ih
principle indeed to look npon themselves a
even far less oppressed than the negro. They
have not ihe most distant idea that ihe negro
is in t perfectly natural condition, While theirs
it wholly - artificial ; noi a single glimpse of
the eternal trnih, lhal ii it a greater crime
against nalureto force the negro to nn equality
wilh iliem, than lo make even s class of their
own face artificially superior to themselves.
All the combination of human force are in
deed incompetent lo effect eiiheOn fact yel
the effort to elevate the inferior specie tu an
equaiily with that which God lias placed
above it, would be vastly mure injurious than
even ihe artificial superiority of a clan of die
same race. : But we repeat, both alike are
impossible in reality. No mailer .what ihe
acnou ol I'diliaiurnit, nr (lie law of pri no

only end with the single generation; and
the succeeding one again comes into existence

CJod Iras st-iniped upon the race, complete
and perfect a ever. So, too, should effort
be niade 10 violate nature, in rrepect-tn differ

law equalizing the planter and Ins slave, il
would only be a fiction.- tShould external
force be resorted to, lo scedtmdish the impos
sibility should the whites of Virginia refuse
lo learn toreador cultivate their faculties,
and devote themselves wholly to the menial
elevation of ihe black, all their effort would

succeeding our,, j Nature,! true lo herself,
would vindicate ,er rights. TJie white would
again be just as superior, and liie in grit just
us inferior, a if the natural order and harmo
ny had never been disturbed. Mo mental
equaiily, short of physical equality, cotitd be
possible ; nor, indeed, eauld soriul suicide,
amalgamation iisclf, realise the abolition idea
of equality. To iho extent that it occurred,
there, would be only extinction of the speciin
character of both parties ; while, beyond ihst,
the specific character 'and the eternal 'ine
quality' of ihe races would remain undis
turbed, with the, integrity of each as perfect
a evei. ' ' " - .
" The continued Mcetidaney of an aristoc
racy, or luting class, on the Contrary, instead
of the laws of nature, resti wholly nn the ig
norance nf lhc masses. With the government,

and withhold all the means of mental im

Parliament . in England which, voted forty
thousand pound lo educate the people, ap

Queen's stables ; making the physical comfort
ol the dumb animals of dmiMe importance to

too, while plundering the laboring classes of
some five millions siiiinnlly, to pay the inter
et on m.mey squandered lo elovat ihe negro
to a common ljyvel wilh the former, they an
nually appropriate about a hundred thousand

We yesterday heurd a gentleman relate an
incident of honesty peculiarly remarkable, a
follow I '' "
About thirty yearssgo, man n mieilS
came to Lawrenccburg, nnd went into busi

and retaining an irreproachable character, lie
married a highly respectable young lady in
ihat town. Shortly after hi marnnge, two
women he hud married before , he cuine in
Lawrenccburg, made their appearance, each
claiming him us her husband, f ha friend
and relatives of hi Lawrenccburg wife, justly
indignant al hi rascality, prosecuted bun for
bigamy, and by their mean he wa convicted
and sentenced to the penitentiary. , lie scrv.

Iriends S left Dearbon county, and went
nn one knew whither, anil a honor hi wife
ever corresponded with any one at Lawience
burg, nothing wa known of their subsequent
fate, and they are almost forgotten entirely.
On last Thursday s lady in a carriage, and
from her dress apparently wealihy, drove up

he remembered no ucb man. " I lie lady then
reeountcrcd the circumstance wejiave detail

The lady then asked if S , when he lefi
Lawrenccburg, did not owe him something.
I'he gentleman replied that be had forgotten
all shout it if he did. ' An .examination of
old account hook allowed that S owed
1'ie gentlemen shout 70. , The lady then re
marked that she was the wife of S , and
had returned In Lawrenreburg fur the pur
pose of paying lhal debl and several am dler
ones w Inch hu owed : when he wa sent lo
Sute Prison, and Inuniftd if the gcmleuiJii,

the name of her husband's creditors. In'
whom he wa owing small sitm from one

During the day she adjusted all her buiband''
