-The Kiilmnnzoozette reports the following as a epoech of a Whig orator in thut vincinity. He seems lp have been fitted for slavery by nature: "Mr. President:, within these veins courses the blood of two noble grandsires, both of whom watered the baltle fields of our countiy with their blood, fighting in the glorious cause of American liberty: vet. Mr. President, proud as I am of my birthright from such ancestry, 1 have often thought that I should be willing to change places with the meanest slave of Henry Clny, in order to be continually by the side of that great and good man."(C0 A correspondent of the Bangor Gazelie wntes from Baltimore: "Twenty-five elaves recen'.ly escaped from one neighborhood in one week. No trace of t hem can be found. Their maste s did not advertise them in the newspapeas. So marre of the slavea have reeen tly learned to rend in ihis State, thnt rrtasters find i generally inexpedient to pnblish the loss of their "happy nnd coniented" servants, for fear of the example! By the vay, slaveeare seldom adver tieed tili all places known to the master, where tiiey are likely to go. have been searchod." O The Northern Star, a pnper ín N.

The colored people are far from being united in the support of any one of the three parties, and a fre and liberal discussion of the merits ofeacli in the columns of the Siar will do much to proniote a unión of feelins; among them.
