How often is it that audi a course. which deserves enm-

politi NM— . . ,
dividual who honestly and boldily expresses his opinions is
in a pniitioc to attract notorie^—iflm is connected with the
press—if he hold a siatiou in public life, or if he possesses
greet influence which he does not abuse, there will be sly
and malicious slanders against him by bad men, for mis
chievous purposes. Though forbearing and tolerant tow
ards the opinions of ethers, he manfully tells his own—if he
sees a trickily, scheming piece of expediency, that departs
fruin principle, he den mnees it. exposes the wrong and
maintains the right—such a man will be called a dictator by
the intriguing, undermmining, eat footed managers, who
meanly attempt to pull down to their own level men eleva
ted by nature and by nature's God above them.
We min.ire the man of any party, who frankly avows bis
opinions.and boldly maintains them. When a man with
holds the expression of his sentiments, is sly and smirking
disagreeing with none, and on public questions, is never
prepa ed to give an opinion until he has ascertained the
apparent popular current, he should never ba trusted in
puolic life, for he baa not the courage to be an honet roan.
He will never dare discharge a public duty that involves a
responsibility with conscientious fidelity and independence.
Place him in a station to try him. and you will find that he
will always be ready to surrender principles for policy, and
those who trust him will sooner or later be. disappointed,
because he will betray or foil them at the critical moment.
Yrt such a ra*n il not called a dictator—be is. pliant, and
ready to take any turn that circumstances may dictate. He
it no radical—and if there it at any time a division among
his political friends on any question, he will be found with
that portion that unites with the opposite party, for he gen
erally manages to k»ep with the current.
• lita a misfortune that the latter class too often manageto
elbow and twist themselves into public life end places of
the highest responsibility.—The actually meritorious and
deserving—the honest and the bold, who would do Tight
regai dies* of personal consequences to themselves—are
thrust aside for mere policy men, who never have an opin
ion, and who are ca toady to do wrong as right, provided
they can promote their selfish schemes thereby.
In the Eaaern part of this State the " Church militant"
has enlisted in the cause of Whiggery. At a Whig Con
vention in Harbour county, a reverend politician, appro
priately named Capers, as significant of his public perform
ances, made a harangue of the most ultra par.ixso charac
ter ; and not satisfied with the local desecration of his of
fice as a Minister of Peace, has coolly re-written his ad
dress and spread it before the world. It is republished at
length, as far as this place, aud off from the spot of its de
livery this Address is recommended as a choice weapon in
• the warfare of political electioneering. W t have looked it
over, with curiosity to learn how a Preacher of the Gospel,
mingling in the strifes of politics, descending into t he hot
and dusty arena, wherein men are struggling so fiercely
with each other for honors, personal advancement and party
triumph, or t.ie defeat of rivals and adversaries, too often,
instead of competing generously for the best service to their
common country, could keep himself and his ministry, frofn
being soiled in the contact with turbulent passions and an
gry contentions. It would be a rare and beautiful specta
cle, well worthy of the religion of which Mr. Capers is
teacher, to see the spirit of holiness wWch belongs to his
calling, carried into a political controversy, and that charity
which hopeth all things, persuasively employed in soften
ing the asperities of political conflict—subduing the temper
for vehement and acrid denunciation which is its prevail-
mg tone—teaching in the language of brotherly kindness,
and dealing with opposing opinions, not with the arrogance
of a Pharisee.—"stand aside, for 1 nm holier than tuo<i,”
but with the Christian meekness which liis Master teaches
in the Parable. No traces of auch a spirit are to ba found
in this address of the Rev. Mr. Capers. Il is full of what
the Liturgy teaches os to be delivered from—“ malice and
all uncharitahleness"—it embodies the very spirit of con
tention;—every thing which can exasperate ana inflame—
every thing that cau provoke strife, breed resentments,
wound the self-respect, and incite to angry recrimination, is
carefully selected for the occasion .and levelled against the
democratic party, and particularly against their favorite
leaders Van Bitrf.n ana Calhoun, whatever calumny
in the most excited times of passionate strife, has charged
against the conduct and reputation of public men—whatever
distorted view of their opinions and actions, fear, jealousy or
revenge may have contrived in days when men's minds
were too much bested for reflection—whatever suspicion
has tnre<iled to thetr prejudice, for the temporary use of
the moment, and much, very much, that bus been discarded
long aioee as unworthy of remembrance, 1ms fit's preacher
of peace coolly collected at his leisure hours and spread be
fore the world, in their odious deformity, as recommending
themselves deliberately to his judgment and conscience !
We cannot envy any party all the advantage which they
can possibly derive, among an intelligent and right-minded
people, from such help—bat have the consolation to reflect,
that a preacher, capable of tbe bitterness and malevolence
displayed in this address, is more properly engaged in any
thing, rather than the ministrations of religion.—Mobile

Our readers may remember that we published some time
since, a communication referring to tbe confessions made at
Alexander. (New York,) by a runaway slave, ol the agen

city. Inquiry here hns shewn that in all file local facts to
which that conference refers, the tunaway was accurate in
his tale, to far as datrs and names are concerned ; and in
some particulars, his statements of intentions are corn--
borated by strong collateral circumstances. The following
letter, relating to the same person b, s been received at the
Tost Office here; and after being shewn to a number of

Inconsequence of the great increase of fugitive slaves,
fleeing by t lie Albany route, from the " horrible Baatile” of
Southern Slavery, to find repose and freedom in Queen
Victoria's dominions t nnd it having been represented to
this meeting, that the Albany Vigilance Committee have
been, nnd now is, unable to meet all the demands upon it,
to defray the expen-s attending upon securing mi asylum
for the oppressed and hunted of our brothers and country
men, that it is necessary to take immediate and efficient ac
tion to raise funds far the fugitive slaves' benefit. The Ho-
ciety, therefor?, with a view to facilitate and forward this
object, have passed the following resolution:
Resolved. That the Executive Committee be authorized
to collect and Unburse funds, for the purpose of aiding fugi
tive slaves, at their discretion, accounting for the same to
the Society, as a part ofthe general duties of the commit
tee.
h is earnestly hoped that the committee may not at any
time be in want of the necessary means to relieve all who
in their wisdom nnd discretion, may stand in need; and we
would recommend to the benevolent the object as one which
ought to commend itself to friendsof liberty and humanity

To HVi.vm it nay Cone rn .-
I lately saw an article, oxtracte.1 from a Mobile paper,
norporting to be on account of the marks of a man who had
[ireii n sla ve in that city. As I perhaps know more of die
nan than any other person in the Northern States, it rosy
not be improper for me to give you a little account of him
und ol his doinrs. The name ofthe slave was, when in
Mobile, Win. Carter ; his u a-ter was Col. John Carter, of
Georgetown, D. C-, and William had talenn .uftieient to
have been In.- son. He was taken from Mobile toNew
Orleans, from which place-be, by a deep laid plan, which
lie was more titan two years in executing, made Ins escape.
The -lave imposed upon his master’s agent sufficient to get
him to .-hip him lo bis master in Washington, D. C. The
agent con tided «o much ia William that be pare him the
letter of consignment, to hand la the captain of the ship;
but as William had learned to read ami even write a little
tiv tlie aid of school children, in the goodly -cities above
named, he kept the letter, and by another strategem secur
ed on entrant e into the port of Baltiro
ch he i.ad stole
that they
earnestly pray that God will free them.
’■ ” ' truth to me I have not the least
as receipts, letters,
permit lobe marrtea. ecc. etc., wmea were conclusive testi-
tnonv that he had been a slave. I have also seen a person
who knew his master and agent. He (Win.) speaks well nl
many citizens of Mobile. Had good clothes ; was not over*
worked, os he usually was hired oul ns a carpenter, and or-
ten passed for a fiee man. William has a wife in Mobue,
named Clarke; she lias or had two children, when hts mas
ter took him to New Orleans. He speaks of certain while
men in the South, who are very wicked men, who are rea
dy to help the slaves get their liberty, provided that they
(the white men) can be permitted to get all the money troKi .
the banks, Ac. Ac. He never knew an Abolitionist untu ne
came North, and then feared them until he became acquain
ted with them. The white meiirhe says, who want tlie ne
groes to fire houses and murder, are a set of swearing, vi
cious men. who would ns soon kills negro ns to cat. He
says he would not have any thing to do with them.—1 have
written you this simple s-atement of facts and have many
more in my possession. I return to Albany next week, l
shall be in Canandaigua, N. Y. on tbe 4ih of July. I CI Pf? t
to see William in Canada in August. We ordered hts
tools sentto Canada about aix week's since, and he is now.
I hope, working for himself in that land of runaways.
Please pardon tny officiousness in addressing yon. I regard
a negro as a man, consequently consider it my duty to aid
him.” . ,
If any of wm wish to know more particulars, you can aa-
dress me. post paid, at Albany, any time after 1st of *-ept

The contest in the State, though animated i* character
ized by much good feeling on the pari of both P a ™ e9 * An
agreement has been entered into, that 44 they shall be con
ducted on far and honorable terms, without resort, on eitner
side io. unusual or illegal modes for the creation of voter#,
not otherwise possessing in every respect the necessary
qualifications for exercisising the right of suffrage._
This excellent; we congratulate our fellow citizens ot
Louisana, on taking tbe first effective step to bring back
the ballot box to its ancient purity. The ialse voting, first
introduced in New York, and known there as “ pipe lay
ing ” has done much to strengthen the opponents of tree
Government in Europe. _
Their first theory was, that a written Republican Con
stitution wou'd soon be overturned by some ambitious in
dividual, who had. like Pericles of old, obtained a complete
supremacy over the affections of the people.^ Gen. ''» sh *
ingtim’a example first practically refuted this idee Gen.
Jackson’s course has again demonstrated its fallacy. Uut
when the fountain of corruption was. by illegal voting,
made to spring from the people themselves, new hopes
were given, new ideas were suggested to the edversanes of
human liberty, and, Americau Institutions, before, the
bright illustration to which all the liberalists of Europe had
triumphantly pointed as tbe ” Ecce signutn" of popular
government, have, by the corruption of our own citizens,
again become an argument to be used by the monarchists of
the old world, against the struggling frieuds of tbe peo-
pie’s rights. , , , .
There has never occurred any thing so much calculated
to diminish our consideration in the eye cf foreign govern
ments as the mutual accusations of fraudulent voting made
by both parties in every section of thfrcountry. He ex
press no opinion as to the truth of any of these charges;
suffice it to say. that they were made, and were believed
both at borne and abroad. They tended to demoralization
here, and to degradation there. Thanks then to those, who
forgetting their partisan feelings, have come forward so
seasonably to the aid of our national character, and ourna*
fional morality.'—Petersburg Rep.
XSac Public LaaiU,
The New York American, in allusion to a recent Report
from the Secxetarj ofthe Treasury, showing thattbe public
lands, down to September, 1812. have realized to the Gen
eral Government $92,449,341,16 more than the cost and ex
penses. exults that one objection to distributing the proceeds
among the States ia thus done away with. This objection is
based on tbe fact that the amount received from the land
sales hts not indemnified the General Government for tbe
expenses incurred in consequence of them; and instead of
being confuted, this fact if triumphantly established by the
Report in question. The public lands, so far as ceded by
the States, were given on the condition that the United
States should pay the Revolutionary debt of the 8utea.
This the government has done, and the amount paid, with
intereat, was something like $200,000.000; consequently,
allowing that the Government haa received for all the lands
sold, the above snrplus over and above the expenses- it
would still leave the States in debt something over one
hundred millions of dollars to the General Government.
But even this is upon the supposition that tbe money re
ceived was only for sales of that part of the public lands
ceded by the States, whereas a large portion of this money
has accrued from the sales of tands-purchased of France
and Spain. This makes the balance stand much worse
against the States, and utterly destroys tbe argument for the
favorite federal scheme of distribution, which the Ameri
can would predicate on the statements of tbe Secretary’s
Report.—Boston Democrat.
Unary Clay*
The Kentucky Gazette mentions two instances in which
Mr. Clay by his recklessness and over-bearing conduct,
has ruined his party and buried himself down frem the high
elevation to which fortune had cairicil him. The first was
wnen by bargain and corruption he became the chief of Mr.
Adams' administration, in which he ruined his party and
his own popularity nnd prospects, long before file expira
tion of the four yearsof that profligate rule. The other in
stance ia that or the present administration. "It came into
power, says the Gazelle, with an overwhelming popular ma
jority, butis now ulterly prostrate, together with the party
which aided in its elevation. We care not for all the slang
about the treachery of Mr. Tyler—the trueeat.se of the
breaking up of tlie Whig Party is to be found in Mr. Clay's
determination either to rule the President, or to crash the
administration.” . ,, _ , ,
Hence the natural ccnclosion, that Mr. Clay Jacks the
judgment, the enlarged views, the cool ness, and the discre
tion necessary to conduct the affairs of the nation, or to re
tain power when it has been acquired. It may safely be
added .list, in so often refusing to trust fiower in his hands,
tbe people have shown that they are aware of his total un
fitness for Its exercise, or that they have no confidence in
bis principles and integrity.—Lowell Advocate.

After tendering out cordial salutations toour res
pected contemporary ofthe Southern Recorder, we
beg leave lo be permitted to ask his imkilgence for
not reciprocating in tins morning’s issue his last
complimeuiary .notice. We have , been engaged
in documentary researches for the purpese of fur
nishing the Recorder, with such authentic and re
corded evidence as will afford him an “occasion”
ar.d “apology for asking the public ear” to refute,
if he can, ourcharges against Henry Clay—but our
numerous duties have partially arrested those re
searches, so as to deprive jjs the pleasure for the
present at* furnishing the Recorder with materials
upon which to operate. In our next, however, it is
hoped, we may be able to do so.
In the mean time, our courteous cotemporary
will permit us to remark, that the political acts
of Mr. Calhoun require no special pleading for
their defence: they vindicate themselves, and will
forever remain proud records of his public benefac
tions—whilst those of Mr. Clay will be only seen
as beacons to warn the unwary against the shoals
of Ertor, and at the same time stand before the peo
ple eternal monuments of his condemnation.
Abolitionism.
Read in our paper of today the interesting pub
lication of the movements of the Abolitionists in
Alabama. We have no room for remarks, further
than to say that safety is the offspring of caution and
vigilance.
After perusing the above, turn your attention to
the Capers a Rev. gentleman is cutting in the

The Influenza.
The march of this all pervading epidemic is still
onward. It is now in Virginia and North Caroli
na nnd we shall be fortunate indeed, if we escape its
visitation. It is called by the French La Grippe
—from we presume, the very cordial and impres
sive way it has of embracing those to whom it gets
attached. But as we are desirous of cutting Mons.
La Grippe’s acquaintance as soon as possible, in
the event of his linking his ugly face among us, the
following from the Richmond Star will show the
inauner in which he ought to be treated—it is said
that lie will loosen his grip in no time at ail.ifyou
will only keep a close and careful eye upon him:
QJ^Since writing the above this “fashionable” dis
ease or as it is more emphatically called, the Ty
ler Grip, has made its appearance in Savannah.
It has clinched the Editor of the Republican, and
holds him tight nnd uneasy. We hope the appen
ded lemedy comes in time for his relief:
‘•The Grippe.—This singular ar.d most annoying epi
demic has got about halfof the city in it* fist, griping ttie
poor souls with misery most severe. As we are naturally
prone to do humane acts, and give advice, free gratis, we
lake pleasure in furnishing the following formula, which we
learn from one of our most accomplished physicians, will
be found most successful in routing this pestering foe. On
retirini; at night, place tlie feel in a warm mustard bath,
tnke ten grains of Dover powder, and drink freely of hoar-
hound tea, and the enemy will be routed from the field,
speedily; horse, loot, head, back and legs. The ground
mustard—a spoonful to, say two gallons of water, is the
sort. The remedy is simple enough in all conscience, and
comes from an authority of no slow older. We giro it as
we got it. without fee—only, if it cures, give what we did
—a “ thank ye.”
Cheering Intelligence:
" Tne Hills shall clap their hands together, and tho
Mon-tains shall rejoice.”
Our intelligence from the Mountains, is ofthe
most cheering and gratifying character. The ad

ofthe Cherokee Indians, will find no abiding place
in the political affections of our liberty-loving Moun
taineers. The news from Daiilonega, will gladden
the heart of every Democrat in Middle and Lower

of country. And the more the whigs abuse him. the more

Stark was received with acclamation by the whole Chero

population. As to Crawforu. his vote in 1840 giving free
negroes the rights of citizenship (See acts of 1840, page 32)
has settled his claims in this section of the State. W e have
heard but little more than the name of Stephens as yet. but
learn he is a tolerable good hand to rant; which by the by
is die onlv qualification necessary to make a first rate

against Mr. Crawford for a mere discharge ofduiy ?
The Messenger must entertain curious notions of
political ethics, if it supposes we should have done
so. Thank God, we are not so hide-bound as tlie
Clayitcs, to think fnat our adversaries are altogeth

there was a modicum of political trickery mixed up
with the noble hearing of our gallant adversaries.
To shew that we are not censuring for the un
worthy purpose of merely gratifying partizsn feel
ing. or fabricating political capital, it is only neces
sary to direct tlie attention of tlie reader to tbe ve/y
disingenuous attempts wh ch the Clay Editors art
now desperately nnd unfairly making, toabusethi
public mind, by impressing it with the belief that
their chosen Chief is opposed to a Protective Tariff,
and that “Direct Taxation appears to be the fa
vorite measure of the Calhoun Democrats, and a
very large number of the Van Buren ones also."
So notorious is tlie fact, nnd so firmly has it been
established beyond the reach of successful contra
diction, and so often hns it been proven before the
people, by arraying the reiterated and iinequivots!
and emphatic declarations of Mr. Clay himsfX
that he was wedded, hotly and soul, to a Tax
for Protection,- that it almost seems an insult id
common sense, and a shameful waste of time sud |
patience, to bore the public with an endless repeti
tion ofa iruth, which is already fully and indelibly i
impressed upon their minds. Suffice it then for the |
present, to declare, that Mr. Clay iias always bow
ed down, and that he still bows down of the sbri:' |
of Protection, with an idolatrous devotion truly j
Eastern—and that the last speech he essayed »|
that subject, which was made during the pasts
sion of Congress, may be truly' considered ai n I
eulogy upon the anticipated death of Pnxeedx
and a most ardent prayer for its revivifreatjpo.
