but to insult us, nnd shock all our mornl sensibil

As no wickedress Is too gigantic, so none ia too
contemptible and nienn for slavery to nt tempt in
hor own extension and support. Wo noticed last
week, the attempt now making In Alabama, to in
crease the number of slaveholders among the smnll
property holders of that Stnte. Tho object is lo
enlist a greater number in its support, and thus
diminish the risk and danger of sluvcholding.
For slaveholders nre sensible, if nobody elso Is,
that their numbers nre small, their position danger

besides. Hence, it becomes them to fortify them
selves on every hnnd. Hcneo, the Arkansas slave

ALEXANDER DUMAS.
This distinguished author haswritten a loiter tn
friend in New York, in which he saysi
'Find for me on the borders of the St. Lawrence,
the Hudson, the Delaware, or the Ohio, s corner
where, surrounded by my chosen friends, I may
spend my last days, and die in tranquility under
tlie sun of liberty."
If this distinguished author should eettlo on the
banks of our Ohio, instead of "dying in tranquili
ty under the sun of liberty," be might come under
the action of some of our kidnapping laws, espe
cially if he should select the southern shore, and
we could not insure him on the northorn. His
literature hoi been prohibited in the French the
atres, but hie locomotion would be in Kentucky,
without s pass er s corUBcate of freedom to be car-
ried In his pocket and duly recorded at the Court
House. And his pen of courte would gain no froo
doin. In regard to bis prohibited plays the TViVmn
say :
'It is stated that Mr. Dumas has already confided
several manuscript w orks to the hands of his agent
who have established a publishing house in New ,
York, for the pursise of bringing them out origi'
nnlly nnd exclusively in this city. The manuscript
of bis eomedv, the "'Youth of Louis XIV,' which

A portion of tho members of the Disci plo Church,
dissatisfied with tho connection of thnt Church
with Slavery, hnvo for some tinio past been agita

Slavery is a great Social, Political nnd Mornl evil

That its existence is greatly detrimental lo the

This call is a sort of Do daration of Independ
ence, on the part of those who havo signed it, of
Alexander Campbell. His namo nnd- influeneo
have long bound many members of that church re
luctantly lo tho support of slavery, and this indi
cation of a purpose to be free is encouraging.
Wc copy the call from the (.'leretitntl Cvmmtreiul,
tho editor of which has Veen quite nctivo in this
movement. The snme paper copies tho following
from tho Fainsville Telegraph, in regard to the Con
vention :
"In the last number of 'The National Era.' I
