that is not connected with our black population, or
that drat not forits object the denunciation of the South,

declared at their first meeting, had become absolutely
necessary, and they appear determined to spare no
effort to bring it about. A las, for Eumanity—alas, for
Liberty, if these are her votaries!
We do not wish these remarks to apply to all the
Liberty men in this county. There ate, we know, m a .
ny sincere and honest men among them who act from
the purest motives and the most disinterested philan

every where, and lend their aid to relieve it—such as
pursue their objects in a chfistian and rational method,
we have the highest respect, and can hid them "God

and corked for the blacks, and who stand aloof front
every movement for the elevation of the white popnla
ration, and who are striving to divide the Union, and
'increase the present jealousies by which its harmony is
disturbed, are an order of Pbilatithrophists from whose
"killing kindness" we pray the country may be pre

the skin of a uegro boy, apparently about five years of
age, was found floating along down the river,

The scalp and hair were above water, andel first led
to the impression that it was a human body. It was
