however, nmM txplaincJ, j iir,t before
'lie lOMQettt of our letinug to bed arrived.
To this niotucnt the cotivo. tauoii went round
between tliegofd ladies uud ourselves, with

alter 1 had looked at my watch in ujken ol
my disposition to retire for the night, thai
the con'vers.-.tion turned upon marriages,
nappy and unhappy, siiaijge, unequal, run
aways, Sfc. Ned rose m the midst ol it,
and ojked the linjiady where wo should
sleep. She pointed to an open shed-room
adjoining the room in which we were sit
ting, and separated from iUy a log partition
lietweii the spucois oi which, miglii Lo seeu
all that passed ui ill' diuiiig room; and so
eh- e to tho lire-place of this apartment,
that a loud whisper might he easily heard
from otic to tliu other.
"The strangest match," said Ned, resttm-
i iig the conveisulion with a parson's gravi

"Aud was it really a fact ?" inquired anodic.-.
"Oh yes, ma'am," dbntinuaJ NorJ, 'J knew
thenl very well, and ot'ton went to their
house j and DO people could have lived hap
pier or managed hotter than they -did. And
the h ive raised a lovely parcel of children
as line a sot as I ever saw, except their
youngest sun, Billy; he was a liillo wild,
but upon the whole, a right clever boy I im
self. CaraC, friend Baldwin, we're selling
up too late for travellers." iio sayiug, Nod
moved to the shed-room and I followed him,
The ladies were left iu silent amazement;
and .Ned suspecting, doubtless, that they
were listening for a laugh from our cham
ber, as we entered it, continued the subject
wnli unabated gravity, thus; "i'ou knew
those tur.pnnjdi o..io yo.i?"
"Where did they live?" unpaired I, not a
littiie disposed to humor him.
"VVhyj they lived down there, on Cedar
Crsjik, close by Jacob Ekmrnan's Oh, l,il
tell you who their daughter Nancy married
she married John Clarke you knew"Ai;i
very well."
"Oh,yes,"!aiilI,"I knew John Clarke
very well iiis wile tpM a most excellent
woman."
" Well, die boys were j ist as clever, for
boys, as she was for a girl, Cftcept Bill ; and

unless it was his laugMng in church; that

Demote talking. Besides, .we must take
an eariy start to-morrow, and I'm tired."'
JSo sayiuK, ho In pod into his bed; anu I o-
bcyod his injunctions. , ."'' '
Before I' followed his example, I could
not resist the temptation of casting' an eye
through tho cracks of die partition to see the
effect of Ned's wonderful story upon the
fine ladies. Mrs. Barney (it is time to give
their names) was setting iu a thoughtful
posturej her left hand supporting hcrchin,
and her kuee supporting her loft olboW. lj .r
counlcoauce was that of orfe who suffers
pfrom a slight tooth-ache. Mrs. Shau loan
ed forward, resting Jifcto.-o-arm on tier Juices
and tonkins into the Breas if shesawif'oipi
of children playing in it.
Mrs.
landlady, who was .the fattest of the three,
wiwHiuikmg and laughing alternaely at
short intervals. From my hod, it required
but a slight change ofv position to see auj
one of (lie roui aploasurc.
I was no sooner composed on my pillow;
than the old ladies drewdheir chairs close
together, and began the following colloquy
in a low undertone, which rose as it pro
gressed; 1 aim. tiannpii. am iu iun;m sav uwid

Fknew thnt Ned was jurpugsed bv no

this, with even tolorable credit to himself, I
could n devise. J
The Jadies here took laivc of Ifed's maN

ceeded as follows:

Mrs. R. Why, first she took the eccr
and fever, and a 'bundance o' doctor's uie ins
ior mat. ana then she got a powerful bad
cough, and it kept gittiu' worse en,d worse,
til at last it turned into acousumption, and
she jist nat'ly wasted awuv, till she was
jelling but skin and bone, and she died ; hut
poor ming, she died very happy; and I think
in my heart, sho made the prettiest corpse,

MR. CORDON, of the House of Repre
seatiUire from the Committee on Domes
tie Slavery, made' the following
REPORT:
The Con5nitfle$, fo whom wa referred to
mucli of His Excellency, Governor Qnitiuaira
message, at riates to the institution of itomf'ic
lavery among us, and the intertBrence ol tlie
Abojruonistol 4lie north, beg leave to Report, .
That Bhm the higln importance of the sub-
fijA presented to them, they 'have given it
the most calm and d cube rate consideration.
Your committee view with feelings of
the doepc-t concern and indication, the
attempts tha, h ive becq.made in the north-
iMm statM ut eur eWipWIgBV', tflrniii fhr-
last two or three years, hy onrtain fanatic
al societies and individuals, tor the avowed
purpose of effecting the immediate abolition
ottavery in the slave holding states, un
der the shallow and hypocritical pretence,
of. philanthropy and benevolence to the
slaves. And although tbendvocates of this
iniquitous system, may not have any thing
like a majority in tiny, one of the northern
states, but the industry of what there are,
renders their exertions more prejudicial
than their numbers would seem to justify.
They have succeeded m deluging our
Opuntrjuwith tracts of the ritost incendiary
character Ihcy have found their way into
otir schools and into our chambers, and even
mil- private sanctuary has been invaded,
and books and pamhJe'ts of this character
have been put into the hands of our children
and our shifes. The slaves have been hr
dhced to rebel agaiaaf tfTeir masters, and to
plot the Njurderofour white population and
when the abolitionists have discovered tha(
these were tho only fruits of their exertions,
they have remixed not in their mad course,
but still persevered as if a state of civil war"
and the destruction of our people, was a
consummation ef their purpose, which they
ardentlv wished. One would have Uiought
that the cvntsof last summer were enough
to have 'convinced them of their error, it
the good ofHhe slave wm their only Qbject ;
but not so; their exertions have by nomjans
abuted, nnd our country is sfnr flooded with
publications of this diabolical character.
Agents areNcnt amongst m: to distjibute
those vile productions; the garb of the ped-
ler; the schoolmaster; and ovon tho sacred
dosft have been assumed by their emissa
ries toconceal theirdeiuouiac purposes; aud
although they have had n practical illustrtr
tion that if c are determined not to become
the dupes of their vile treachery, still their
publications rind their way into the heart of
our country, and we know not by what
moans. .
Bat notwithstanding these fanatic! seem
to he looke l upon with contempt and the
highest indigontiorr, and large meetings
havfe frequently been assembled in the
northern states, who have denounced them
and their proceedings in the mojt unirfoasu
red terms cjsapprobution, yot yoaroom
mittcc view fi!h partieulut au-fdeep con
cern the peculiar condition in' which the
slave question preseuta itself in those states
ut the preseriuima; for when we seo sover
eign commmiities, united under a solemn
compact, which guarantees und secures this
institution totlioso of their comtutes in which
it exist:., in direct violation of this Compact
of their union, permitting the organiz ttion
and establishment uf societies among them,
wpinc openly avowed ol ject is the lomiedi
ate abolition of slavery in thoao states, even
at the risk of sacrificing the urnon end the
lives of the owners of the slaves, wo think
it high time to assume a firm and determin
ed stand, and iuiporio isfcr domand of our
non-hern confederates tho immediate adop
tion o such measures, as will cngurtj Uie
entire suppreBSiun,nwthiu their borders, of
the iucendiary movcidents of this lawless
band of fanatics, who are thus meditating
the destruction of our peace and very social
clisteiic.e. Wo claim the right to make
this demand of our northren brethren, a
well from the sacred obligations which eve

Yotfr Committee most folly concur in tho
views ofor late wordiy acting Executive,
in his able and patriotic message to the Le
gislature, that "The morality, the expedien
cy and duration of the institution of slavery
are question which belong oxclusivcjy to
ourselves, nnd that it would degrade tnn
character of a sovereign Slate to step down
into the arena of controversy, and discuss
the morality, tho propriety or wisdom of her
civil institutions, with foreign powers or
with self-ccnstituted associations of individ
uals, who liavo no riht to question them."
Oariiis.itiitionsane our own, and so long as
we tee fit tojjon'tiuue them, we recogoize
ine rignt in no power or person on earth, to
interrero in any manner wtth them; And
while wc would extend to our sister states
every eoiirTesy "wfJieh friendship and sister
ly levo would dictate, we wdukl in the most
respectful terms say to them, that this iafa
quesUoiriii which we can have no party,
no discussion: and wo most positively re
quire the Abolitionists oftnd North, toleava
us in the quiet possession ol our institutions,
.n 1 cease their unhallowed exertions to dis
turb our peace and quietude. ,
