Mr. Moore chews that in the "New gng .land Magna Charts," the Body of Libgr ties of 1041, the Puritan fathers legalised the enslavement of "captives taken in just whrs, (they never engaged in 'unjust veer,') and of such etrangett(meaning negrose) as were sold to them." Slavery, as it existed in Massachuotte, was, we hesitate not to say, the most shocking, brutal and inhuman ever itreeticed upon this oontinent. Bad the authoress of Uncle Tom'sCabln laid the scene of her libellous romance in Massa chusetts, In the seventeenth century, it would have been true to nature. M.

Of the morale, manners end hideous con dition of the Massachusetts negroee, decen• ey forbids, us to say anything more, but the pages of Mr. Moore's history aro re plete with (Otte which show that their oorr. gitlon was infinitely worse than it has ever been at th,e South. The work before us clearly demonstrates that both Sumner and Palfrey have falsified history in their declarations that "no elage was ever born on the soil of illasancliu mute." In 1778, the Supreme Cetirt of Mae. eachusetts declared that a negro boeci -an NeiV England was the slave of the owner, of his mother So, at a latter day, in 1790, it was decided by, the same tribunal that a certain negro bqrn in the Province, in Wex ham wee a slave from 1765 Co 1776, when she was freed by n special deed of emanci pation. Three yeiirs later the name Court and the same Judges, by a unanimcus opin ion, held a negro girl born in the Province - to have-beea.tito-lawful slave nt_e 'Ample evidence can he ?bona in many por tions of Mr. Moore's work that the children of slaves were actually held and taken to be 'levee, the property of the owner of the tnother, 1413hrle--be Sold and tranefered prevesly. like other chattel., and held as aasofb In the bands of executors and admin {stratum. With n cruelty which nothing but the truth of hist try jnitifies, Mr. Moore Aratres the original fugitive slave law pro•i. eon in the Federal Conatit ut ion to "5 rtieles of Confederation of New _y ngland of May 10th, 1843," which "Confederation," , while it was, in the language of those who framed it, intended principally to "advance the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to enjoy the Gospel impurilie," also look good !are to provide for the recovery of fugitive negro alavee..

As we entered he rallied a little and asked the doctor who he bad brought with him. On being told that it was " Brick" Pomery, he sank back, (Hosing area—rallied a little and said • " Perhaps it is as Well. Ile might as well know it as say one." And he proceeded to make his djing statement which was in theee words, en we took them down In our memorandum book, as the physician requested. " My name is Henry Clannard. I em for ty one years old.

It was so in every Northern State s During the war, burdens imposed upon editors of Democratic, county newspapers were greater Men at former periods.

A spirit of persecution and jproscription prevailed extensively Republican mer: chants and business men withdrew their ad vertising patronage ; in EOM. instances the use of the wails were denied and very many postmasters were found ready to delay the transmission end delivery of papers. There le not a Democratic editor in this State, daring the past four years, who has sot had the announcement frequently made bys suboriber : "You might se well stop sending my pa per,ace I do ndt gat It half the time."
