The efforts of the American Colonization!

The Louisiaqa Colonization Society are;
about sending a vessel to Liberia. with a

work deserving encouragement and sup
port. If the great work of civilization is
ever carried into Central Africa, it can on
ly be done through the now infant Repub

that it moist remain fur educated Africans
to lift the veil of mystery and idolatry and
superstition that now hangs over that re
lion. None others min kindle there
the fires of civilization. The inhumani
ties of man to man. have made that people
distrustful of the white race. They have
for centuries been subjected to every spe
cies of barbarity from the trading expedi
tions which have penetrated the interior,'
from whatever direction, and now when
science, commerce and religion alike call
for the rich tributes of Africa, it is found
clotted. even to all efforts at exploration,
and such of its people as ever yet came in

distrustful as to bar the progress of the
most daring adventurers, and to render re

FREED O II.•-•-ti family of eight negroes
have brought suit in the Henrico Vs.,
Circuit Court for;their freedom, claidling
under a deed of manumission executed " by
1 their former master, about twenty': years
ago, in the city of N. York. The evi
dence was that they were the cult.einfe

of Virginia. which did not allow him to

molested in the enjoyment of their free
dom since tile death, which occurred a
bout fifteen years ago. until they were ar
rested last summer by the Sheriff, et the
instance of his next to kin, and claimed
as slaves. The question was whether
such a deed of manumission was sufficient.
and the Court allowed the question to go
to the fury, who returned a verdict in fa
vor of the negroes. A righteous verdict.
TOLERATION IN Tungsv..—A letter from
Mr. Dwight, dated Constantinople, De
cember last, says, through the exertions of
Sir Stratford Canning, the British Minis
ter at Constantinople, a Erman had just
been received by the Protestants of Tur
key front the Sublime Porte, incorporating
them as a distinct community. By this
Erman, all the civil and religious rights of
the Protestants are secured to them: they
are distinctly declared to have the privi
lege of building churches, holfli ug burying
grounds, which bele ng to other
and older religious communities. A Tur
kish Attalla has been appointed to attend to
their affairs, and they are anth•orixrd to ap
point an agent from among th emselves, as
their organ of communication with the
government, and a council to decide on the
civil affairs of the commit city. Thus,
perfect toleration and complete protection
are at leughth secured to the ea interesting

They expired on the spot. Illicit love

years between Everett and his sister-in

on Saturday, at the North American Ho

native ol Indiana. 23 years of age, and the
following verdict, setting lord' die Call4o
of his death. was render by the jury, viz
That deceased came to his death by mal
practice on the part of E. J. Latham, he
having administered medicines to the de
ceased in quantities and qualities whereby
his death was caused. The eirrionstan
ces of the case are as follows : The Ae
ceased was very fleshy, weighing nearly
400 lbs. and was publicly exhibited at the
North American Hotel, until a few days
since. Since his arrival in that city, a
bout seven weeks since, ho was afflicted
with excessive thirst, and was in the habit
of drinking six gallons of water daily.—
His health otherwise was apparently very
good. On Tuesday last he informed J.
H. Tweedy, who attended him, that he
had employed E. J. Lathan', the accused.
to relieve his excessive thirst—that Lath
am, had promised for $5 to reduce the
quantity ol water then required daily to
satiate his thirst, from the six to the two
gallons. Deceased then took medicine,
in the shape of liquids, prescribed by
Latham, and became very sick, vomiting
frequently, and becoming delirious. On
the following day Latham, the physician,
was sent for, and when asked what ho had
given the deceased, replied that he had
given him five powders composed of blood
root and other medicines, and also an e
metic.
He was questioned as to his right to
practice, and said that he had a right to
do so. He then left for the room of the
siek man, who recognized him, and told
him to leave the room. He did- so, but
soon after returned with Dr. H. M. Sweet,
of No. 92 Ellen street. At this time the

agony. •

Mr. Paine's Discovery.—The follow
ing interesting letter, though bearing date
some weeks since, did not reach us till
yesterday:
Mr. Editor:—.During the past two
years I have been the asetstant of Mr. H.
M. Paine, in hie experiments of decompo
sing water by Magneto Electricity, and
have, in common with him and the rest of
his family, borne the reproach and con
tumely so lavishly heStowed by the public
press during that period. I say borne it,
because I could at any time have shown
that my brother was undeserving of the
treatment he received ; and I shuuld cer
tainly hare done so immediately after the
report ut the Scientific Committee, had
not the pecuniary interest of others kept
me silent. But I have atlength determin
ed that the dollar shall no longer weigh a
gainst the life of my brother and the peace
of his family ; and I feel confident, that
lickvever be, and others interested, may
deprecate my present course, they will
ultimately acknowledge it to he right.
Every thing that has been stated with
reference to the discovery in its favor, so
far as my knowledge extends, has been

The water is decomposed or resolved into

Cost of the interest of the machine - only t

ninny of nine severe explosions, in as
many months, will amply prove- The
great difficulty is found in governing t a
electric currents in their accumulations
and discharge in the, or at the electrodes
—the continucus varying electrical state
of the atmosphere, baffling all mechanical
skill that has yet been brought to bear on
the discoverv.
With a certain electrical aloe of the at

to work for weeks without any difficulty ;
but, immediately that a change of excess
would occur, repulsion .I'ould take place
at the tlectrodes, and they would melt

Last spring my brother was certain that
he had Overcome the difficultly ; and he

but one cleakc Id morning the family was
roused by a re fort like a six-pounder, and,
in s moment after, he appeared drenched
from head to foot. The decomposing jar
had exploded. He then ceased to evolve
the gases for purposes of heating the house,
and worked the apparatus by hand only
sufficient to generate enough fur lighting
',purposes. It was et this stage of affairs.
that the "Scientific Comm ince" made their
report ; and you will perceive that I had
sufficient raise to be backward in experi
menting, besides the orders of my brother
to the contrary.
For eigltteen months pest he has bean
incessantly employed in remedying this
only obstacle; and although he is sanguine
that he has now accomplished it, I fear a
disappointment- nor do 'I hope to witness
his success till such a time as a mistaken,
though just press, has ceased to harass a
mind ever sensitive to ridicule.
I hope I have now satisfied the anxious,
doubtful, triumphant, skeptical inquiry,
"If lie has made this discovery, why don't
he bring it out r"rhe anxiety to meet
this bitter sneering of the skeptical world,
has endangered the success of the whole
discovery. Incessant mental toil, without
sleep for weeks,'unfit the strongest minds
for healthy action ; and yet such a course
has my brother been compelled to pursue
by the action of such men as composed

Whig Slate Convention.
The Whig State Committee met at Harrisburg
on Tuesday, and resolved that the Whig State
Convention, to nominate candidates for Governor,
Canal Commissioner, and Judges of the Supreme
Court, be held at Lancaster, un the 44th of June
MORN Kingirrsgo.—Another case of kidnap
ping took place in Salisbury township, Lancas
ter county, one night last week. Some half do
zen or more men made a descent on a negro hut.
and taking therefrom one of its inmates, a colored
man, gagged hiM and hurried off to the Maryland
line, where he was handed over to another party,
to allow the original captures', no doubt, to re
turn into the free States, to carry off some other
victims. The negro was named John Williams,
and was said to be free.—Errimage.
Paragraphs like the above meet the eye almost
weekly in, some one Or antes of our akchsniell.—
And yet in the face,ef outrages such as that noti
ced above, numbers of our good-natured pro.sla
very and anti-agitation Union" men are moving
might end main to secure a repeal of the law of
1847 against kidnapping, &c. Judging from
the bluff which the proposition has recently met
with in the State Senate, we apprehend that it
will regents a few more .Union" meetings to car
ry the project through. ,
U. 8. Senators
The Whig g.nin of a Senator by the election
of Mr. Ocean from Missouri, to succeed Mr. Den-
ton, has been counterbalanced by the loss of a
Senator from the Whig State of Rhode Island,
where, by the defection of 12 Whig members of
the Legislature, CILAILES T. Jamas (Loco) has
been elected U. S. Senator Immix years front the
4th of March next.
In New York, tort. the Whigs are in difficulty,
arising from the refusal of some 2 , ./ Whig meth•

members belong to the "81/rtr Orrin" division of
the Whig party iu New York, aims "Union"
men, who refuse to support Mr. Flag, because he
thinks the Fugitive law not as perfect as it
might be, and reserves to himself the privilege of
saying .w, despite the denunetationsof the New
York "Union safety Cominitttee." TWO UllllllC
cesaful ballots were held on Tuesday last, Mr.
Fish leediug all the other earalidates, but failing
to secure a majority of all the votes.
In Ohba, the contest for U. S. Senator in place

Janos A. BAT 811 D, Senator elect from Dela

Mises& Onixotta r—The WI to ebollsh the
I , 4 ilizerdlif Revenue Commiesioditti referred twin
my, hue, has been finally defeated. It came up
b• second raiding in the Itlertste on Thnuoisy,
when Mr. Packer moved ari'lridefirfito postpone•
ment of the subject, which wee agreed to—yeas
20, nays 13. In the /louse also, the committee
to which rho matter was referred, reported it wit h
• negative recommendation. This Board con
sists of one member from each Judicial District.
and holds its session every three years. The ob•
ject intended to be accomplished by the establish
ment of this tribunal, was the equalization of the
valuation of property all over the State—to raise
it where it fell short of their relative valuation,
and lower it where it exceeded it. The Board
has most twine, and this is the year for it■ third
session. That the idea was a good one originally
there can be no doubt, and the only question about
it is, whether its object is not already secomplish
ed and its further continuance superfluous. It has
been ao alleged; hut when it is considered that the
market price of lends in various portions of the
State—its mineral lands particularly, is varying
continually ; and that property will always in
crease in value as population increases; and then
that the cost of the triennial session of this Board
is not more than *2soo—the propriety of its con
tinuance by the present Legislature will not be
seriously questioned. It will convene bare du
ring the present month.
In accordance with a suggestion made by Gov.
Johnston in his late Message, that sonic measures
should be adopted with a view to the better pre
servation of the Colonial and Revolutionary re
cords of the mate, which are said to be in .'an ex
tremely exposed and perielting condition," Mr.
Muldenberg, from the Committee of the Senate,
to which the subject was referred, made a lengthy
report thereon, approving of the suggestion of the
Governor, and recommending the resumption of
the "Unionist Records," which bring oar history
up to 1717, in a work to be entitled " Pennsylva.
nia Annals." It is to be hoped that this idea may
be carried out, as these papers are great curiosities
in themselves, and their publication would make
■ valuable addition to the historical treasures of
our country.
Mr. Brower on Wednesday reported a preamble
and resolutions in the House, instructing our Sen
ators and Representatives in Congress, to favor a
modification of the 'Fugitive Slave Law," in its
many objectionable features. No action was had
on them. Mr. Brower, on Thursday, presented
a memorial from the Society of Friends in Chea
ter County. against the repeal of the Slave Law
of 1847, and called for the reading of it. Mr.
Roberts, of Greene, moved to suspend the reading,
after it was commenced, but the motion was nog
■tived—yeas IS, nays 74. 'rho House also, on
Friday, by a vote of 60 to 30, took up the bill re
ferred to in this memorial and passed it to second
reading. Such is the elochnient at Lneofocoiam
to slavery. The Senate will defeat the bill.
A. strong effort is being mails to resivo ths old
system of militia trainings—but it cannot succeed.
A motion wa■ mule by dlr. lingua on Thurwiav

The further supplement to the art incnrporat
ing the Reading Railroad Company. was disposed

after many effirts to alter and amend, the vote
being taken it wns defeated, yeas 33, nays 60.
The bill to incorporate the Littlestewn Mutual
Insurance Company has passed the House. Mr.
Medoerry on Thursday presented a petition for
new school clostridia Tyrono township,Adams
County.
The House has been occupied during parts of
its sessions on several days, during the past week,
in the consideration of the Tariff resolutions offer
ed by Mr Dobbins of Schuylkill. They were
railed up on Wednesday last. As there is a clear
Tariff majority in the House when it comes to
voting, some little manoeuvreing was necessary on
the part of the opponents of the cleasire, to
at ve off" these resotut.ons A ccord ugly tar.
Penniman, of Philadelphia County, of doubtful
notoriety, moved they be,referred to a select com
mittee of five—pending which the House adjourn
ed. They came up in order on Thursday, when
after an interesting debate it was decided afftrma•
tively, yeas 48, nays 45. An effort was made to
instruct them to report on the day following, but
the orders of the thy superseded the motto!). Mr
Penninsan's idea, I presume, was to keep the res
olutions in the Committee room. But as the se
quel proved, he could not agree with the other two
Locos on the Committee—Bonham of Carlisle
and Brindle of Lycoming. 8o on Monday, he
moved that the Chair appoint two additional mem
bers—which was warmly debated, and he finally
withdrew it. He then made a report embodying
his own views on the subject. He occupies pe
culiar grounds—neither decidedly Iree•lrade, nor
yet favorable to the doctrines of the resolutions.—
Mr. Bonham reported the opinions of himself and
Mr. Brindle, which are ultra tree.trade. The re
port of Messrs. Killinger and A. E. Brown, the
remaining members of the committee, is in sup
port of the resolutions. To-day the matter came
up in order, and a spirited debate arose in conse
quence, participated in by each member of the
rinhmittio In supportof his peculiar slows. The
House adjourned before any action was had. An
effort will be made by the timid Locos to post
pone, but if a direct rote is had, I think the friends
of the Tariff will triumph. SIGMA.
DOINGS IN HARRISBURG—The !finis

to be acted upon, are, the one to divide the Stets

The correspondence betweeen the Governor of
South Carolina and the British Consul has been
referred to a select committee of the Legislature,
chosen from the Charleston delegation, with the
power to sit during the moms of the Legislature.
It is believed that the obnoxious law for imprison
ing free blacks will be abandoned, or probably
modified so as to conform to an artactrnent ip force
at Wilmington, N. C., which reqnires all free col

set to sunrise. So says a letter from 'Charleston.
CUBAN ANNEXATION.—In the U. @tales

Cuba by the United States.
CirMr Borr• has iniralueed a proposition in

INCREASE OF STATES.—In the last ten
years New York ham increased 27i per cent, In
poptilaticin, Ohio 30i, Virginit 15}, and Pennayl
mania 31j. Pennsylvania, therefore, has grown
considerably more in population than either of tho
other State,. named.

amounts to nearly three millions. In 1840 the
number was less than two millions and a half.
A StNo vLAR OCCURREr CE.—A. young
man by the name of Vicery Was to have
been married at Cleveland, Ohio, on the
18th ult., but in consequence of the ill
ness of his intended the wedding was post
poned two tveeks, and tie died in a few
days afterward. lie had an affection of
the heart, which, when excited, troubled
lion very much. On the evening of his
death he had hum reading to his intended
the story of "Walter Errick." It was a
very exciting tale of "love and murder."
and under the circumstances wrought
deeply upon his feelings. When he had
finished the reading, the lest paragraph
ending with t h e sodden death of -Errick,"
he remarked that "he hoped he should
not die thus suddenly." The young lady
Itedied at him and saw his hand falling
which had the paper hie countenance
changed to a deathly line. She took hold
of hien from her chair, when he gently
leaned toward her and died in her arms.
FOR THE WORLD'S FAIR.-A New Ra

their stay there they intend to make their
home on board their ship. which is to be

lie DON'T DICCLINE.--Some of our
contemporaries are publishing an extract
from Gen. Case's letter to Col Stevenson,
written during the last Presidential cam
paign, in which the general declared his
intention not to be a candidate for re-elec
tion. Mr. C. has written to a friend, in
explanation, that that declaration meant
nothing more than his refusal, if elected,
to be a candidate for a second term. The
great •used up' of 1848 means to push his
claims for another 'beat' in 'B2 with all
the lorce he can command.

• IMPORTANT INYNNTION Mt LOCOMOTTIFE
E AM Erinttins.-11 was announced some
time ago that Mr. James S. French, a .cit
izen of Virginia-, had Made an important
intimivementin locomotive steam engines,
with *.view to enable them to overcome
extraordinary grades. Oa Elaturdsy last
the invention was submitted to the test of
ectu-11 experiment, and seems to have pro
v.•,l perfectly successful: The,Rtchmond
Whig-says the suction or railroad prepared
for Ore experiment is about seven hundred
yards in length, and ascends a grade of
"'more than two hundred beet to the mile.
I rk locomotive weighs about three and a
Inilf tone. and there wus attached a passen
ger cur id . which were seated about one
hundr,ed and fifty persons. The locomo
rkive end cur passed with ease np the grade,
-04 Was stopped with ease when coining
mown. It was run over the track repeat
redly, and proved to he perfectly safe and
manageable at the highest velocity attain
ed, which was probably equal to twelve
Miles per . holt'''. The problem of overcom
ing a grade of two hundred feet to the
spite with a locomotive and passenger train,
seems to have been solved to the satisfac
tion of those who witnessed it. If this be
so, the experiment is a very important
one.
IMPORTANT DRCISION.—The Supreme
Court of the United States, in the case of
Thompson and Furman, vs. the Collector
of the port of Boston, involving the ques
tion as to the collection of duties under the
,present tariff, has derided that the ad val
orem duty upon goods should be calculat
ed at the time of purchase or procurement,
and not, as under Mr. Walker's Tresisury
Circular, at the time of exportation or
shipment. The effect of the decision is
to overthrow the whole series of Treasury
circulars issued by Mr. Walker after the
enactment of the tariff of 1846, and to
make the value of goods very unequal,
and of consequence, the duties also une
qual.
ROYAL BritTli.—On Thursday last the
magnificent lioness belonging to the me
nagerie or Raymond & Co., wintering in
Cincinnati, gave birth to three whelps,
the first ever horn west of the Allegheny
Monrutting. Unlike Romulus and Rein
us, the great Roman lions, who were suck

the bull dog breed, who takes the same
care of them that she does of her own

we cannot urge its claims too strongly, or
