But pasting by this ptroml knowledge, as I

mean to keep an anchor to windward, by secur
ing a home for themselves or family, in a free
territory.
2d. The emigration of Carolinians to free
Slates, especially into Ohio and Indiana.
The general impression U, that a Carolinian
rarely mores to the free States. We thought so.
But auy one who travels a little will find, that
this is a great mistake. We know hundreds of
fanners in them who once "worked slaves" in
the Palmetto Stele. We know in our sistercily
of Cincinnati, and near it, some twenty families
who were all born and reared there. Rut this
U the "emallest" part of the rustler. Ity going to
Greene county, Ohio, we shall meet hundred
of Carolinian; and near Brookviile, 1'ruuklin,
the Walnut Ridge neighborhood, Washington,
and in Iiecstur aud Rush counties, Indiana,
there are still larper settlements composed of
native of Laurens, York, Spartanburg, and
the region thereabout. The majority of these
lllejI tn uou-alaveholders; a'aout a third, we
I ahould euppose from our enquiries, owned

I .-U. lues investment and removals Have
I bcu chiefly made within th lout fifteen yenrs.
This is a singular fact, and one ber'afler that
I we lnv euUrge upon for it is imporUut as
1 wt j M niugular. The distinguished ultras of
I South Carolina have been most active for slave
ry witbiu this period. At Washington in
I South Carolina legislatively and socially they
have used every means to concentrate public
I opinion in the South, and to out a bar forever
between Souther, men. and the "aali-slavery
spirit." The pulpit baa hushed every conscien-
I vine institution. Tile Legislature has braved

amid the Sunday si illness which it kept, and
which no hardy spirit ventured to break the

Sutes has beeu more extended than it ever was
before! The conscientious left a tyranny they
could not brook. The timid fled an vil thev
dared not encounter. The aioney-Ioring es-
caped a future they feared to took at, much more
to meet. And thousand of Carolinians, thus.
have found, as thousands more rr undid? a
new home upon a free soil!

Ibis is a slavery as bad as any we know of.
It ought not to be endured, and will not be. If
freemen are to sweat and toil beyond what hu
man nature can bear, if besides that, t!iy are to
become liars and hypocrites that tiiey may earn
their bread, it is time that public opinion ahould
apply speedily its corrective. Avarice can stand
