VALEDICTORY OF GOVERNOR RUNNELS OF TEXAS, Govornor Rannels, of Texas, on retiring from the ex- eoutive delivered @ valedictory address, in which he referred to the question of slavery as follows:— Two yeare ago, on taking the oath of office, I recom- mended the organization of the militia in view of the im- penejng sectional difficulties, as @ necessary measure of bhic defence oply. It was not then favorably acted on the Legisiature, but subsequent events have fully justi- fied thy recommendation. It is now clearly demonstrated Dy the hitory of the past five years that a deep, uncbange. adie determination exists in the Northern States to assail ‘eur Gearrst political rights, and if possible destroy our domestic *petititions, This determination has its founda- tien m a difference in the manners, feelings and opinions @f the Nosthern people upon the subject of negro slavery. They beneve it to be a moral, social and political evil. ‘Ths belief, strongthened into a conviction, has been in- @>rporate¢ with and pow constitutes the soul of their velyion ond,the mainspring of their moratity. In the footh, the great mass of the people entertain opinions en- tively vppesite in their character, which are equaily irre- and equally amalgamated with our religion and We therefore occupy the singular and anoma- position ei two pecple differing in almost everything ‘Erveulates to promote peace, happiness and fraternity, aad yei in many respects living under the eame govern: meni. Cue of ubese people is actuated by a spirit of ag- sreseion; the otber, standing upon the ramparts of the eonstitution, is acting upon the defenstve, and asking oaly te be ietaiove. It is unnecessary to recapitulate facts to sabstentiate these truths, nor that a wide spread convic- tow exists that we are approaching a terrible crisis, and ‘that berg forewarned we should be also forearmed. The istry of the world aflurds no example of two people 80 divided Jong remaining under a common government of weir own voluntary accord.

The binding efficacy of these restrictions, from every indication is now soon to be tasted, and aquestion to be determined now is, whe- ‘ther Texas will remain indifferent to the cons2quences, while those with whom she should be united by every tie of blood and interest are animated with but one sentiment f regard to the common danger. Preparation will not Rasten the coming of events, if come they must, while if i Goes not prevent, i may avert the consequences of the Whreateping storm. The time has surely arrived when the South should iook to her defences. ABOLITION PHILANTHROPY—GOVERNOR CHASE. {From the Nashville Patriot] In the last Hunteville Democrat, we find an instructive Irtter relative to Governor Chase, of Ohio, written by a fesse et clergyman of ‘the Cumberland Presbyterian ebarch. We copy it below. It should be read by evo wen and woman in the whole country. Mr. Chadwiel ‘went to Ohio on what he conceived to be a mission of mercy, and iy to the test the regard of Mr. Chase for the negro. He ascertained that Mr. Chase docs not wish the slave emancipated for the love be bears him, but be- @ause be hates his master. He and old John Brown are alike ip this respeet—they are boon companions. Let us bear no more hereafter of the mistaken philanthropy of Nortborn anti-slavery men. Thoy have no philanthropy. Under the veil of philanthropy they hide the most vile of human passions:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE DEMOCRAT.

Five young ladies from Musissipp! were withdrawn in one day, More Highhanded Proceedings at the South. An Irishman Scoarged and Tarred and Feathered. From the New York Tribune.) The Charleston Mercury, of the 19th ult., has the following paragraph under its Columbia (S.C.) correspondence:— A workman on the new State House, named Powers, has been uttering seditious sentiments here without con. cealment, and on more than one occasion, expressing his entire approval of Brown’s invasion. He was apprenend- ed by the Mayor, and subjected to examination in the pre- sence of the Commissioner of this Circuit. The proof of his incendiary language and feelings was abundant and conclusive, although not of any attempt to tamper with the siaves. He was, therefore, yeateraay ordered to be escorted from pez to the outskirts of the city by the Marshals. As threat of rescue had been made by other stone masons, he was carried through the town at eleven o'clock A. M., and through the State House yard, where these men were at work, a crowd, of course in attend- ance. No attempt at rescue was made, and at the Ohar- lowe junction of Me city the Vigilance Committee took him in hand, stripped him to the waist, inflicted twenty- nine lashes and a coat of tar and featner. Hence he was forwarded by railroad to Charleston. The same journal has this paragraph, under the head of its leading articles: — : a Tux Tarren Stove Ccrrer.—The tarred stone cutter, al- lnded to in the Mercury's Columbia correspondence, duly arrived in this city consigned to the Onief of Police, He waked to the Guard House voluntarily in bis unique dress. He relates bis adventures in the simplest man- ner, concluding with tho assertion that be don’t care a d—b for the tarring and feathering, but the nine-and. thirty administered to him was a little tight, On Tuesday last there called at the office of the Tribune avery good looking young man, represent- ing himself to be James Power. He had arrived here in a steamer from Charleston on Monday. the day before. He showed his scars and blood marks, He told his history in a very simple. straightforward way to this effect, after denying the editor’s state- ment that he did not care for the tarring and feather- ing: fie was born in Ireland. He came to this country and settled in Philadeiplfia. He learned the trade of a stonecutter. He was working with Mr. Waters, West Chestuut street, Philadelphia, a year sincat but dull times ToEne out of the financial revulsion, caused him to leave there and seek employment elsewhere. He went down the Ohio and Mississippi, butconuld not at any of the towns find work. He, ,however, saw blacks employed. He went to New Orleans, Mobile, Augusta, and other places, but was still unsuccessful. Arriving at Columbia, S. C., ne found work on the State Capitol now building ere. Among the workmen were Irish, English, Ger- mans, and Americaus; but only one South Caroli. nian as he recollects. At his boarding-house, ac- customed as he had been to speak his mind, he among his brother mechanics, spoke on more than one occasion in favor of the employment of white mechanics, and thought the blacks should be confined to the fields and swamps. He does uot recollect ever having stated that he thought slavery sbould be abolished. He had cast his vote in Philadelphia for Mr. Florence, the democratic member of Congress, and was therefore a demo- crat. He was a sober man; had not drank any spirits for four months, but was one night lately “on a frolic” with a brother workman. That workman testified against him as an abolitionist, and on hearing that the Vigilance Committee’ was after him, he attempted to escape, but was arrested at a railroad station ten miles from Co- lumbia, and brought back to that place; was thrown into prison for some days, and then taken before the Mayor. Four men on the trial testified against him. One swore that he had stated that John C. Fremont made a speech at Mobile, saying that in case ne (Fremont) were elected President he would libe- rate the slaves! Power states that he had heard that that was said of Fremont. This curious speci- men of his knowledge of the republican ci late and policy did not save him. It did not appear on trial that he had ever said a word to the negroes. A witness (Cheeseborough by name) swore tha when under the influence of liquor, Power had said he was an abolitionist before he left Philadel- phia, and his opinions were strengthened since he came to the Sonth. Mr. Power appears to have been laboring under the delusion that liberty of speech is moderately allowed in Sonth Carolina. f this the mayor, the Hon. A. J. Greene, also a Member of the Legislature, disabused him by recommitting him to prison, where he re- mained for six days, up to Saturday fort- night. He was then taken by “two marshals” from his cell, and delivered into the hands of two negroes. One of the marshals said—‘You G-d d—d son of atb——h. as you are so,fond of negroes, Ill give youa negro escort.” He was then led through the main street by the two negroes, a creat crowd following. He passed the State House yard, where the workmen were. The Carolinians about him said to the workmen, “Send werd to the G—d d——d Northerners to come here and we can whip them.” He passed the Hall of the Legisla- ture: many members were on the steps—among them the Speaker—who looked on, some of them laughing. He was led three miles to the rail- road junction. There were thousands present— he thinks about half the oleate of the town must have been there. ‘oops of horse, and men armed in various ways, were there. Some cried “Spike him!” “Shoot him!” “Hang him!” &c. He was stripped to the ankles, and a negro, underthreats of being lashed him- self, gave him (thirty-nine lashes. The blood flowed, and the marks of this yet remain. The con- tents of a tar bucket were then <j me to his head and his body down to the waist. He suffered awful pangs, which were the subject of derision. The train during all this was stopped, and the engineer celebrated the event by sounding the whistle freely. Power was, after an interval of nearly three hours, put on the train, in a car full of negroes, and taken toward Charleston. After he bad travelled he supposes fifty miles, a master mechanic of Charleston, pitying his suffer- ings and exhaustion, gave him a cup of coffeeanda biscuit; whereupon the mob around the station threatened that person, swearing also death to himself. Some came into the car and seized him by the hair, saying, “Let's look at you, you God damned abolition son of ab—h.” Some desired to give him a fresh coat of tar and feathers, but, not able to find any of those staples, they applied cot- ton to the tar already on him. ‘The mob were likewise of opinion that there was a whole lot of abolitionists in the cara who ought to be hanged. He arrived at and was put in prison. BONE pe a et I no com- ee or he get one hundred and thi shes more. A physician who attended him tol him he escaped ly, for there were seven men, accused of being Northern ape arrested at the ‘Agricultural State Fair, committed to One of them had received five hundred A snother a less number; that the man who received the five hundred was near dying.

An Irishma: bagel in South Care- Li [From the New York Independent.) The N newspapers have recently zope lished @ brief raph from the Charleston ¥, awry. agnouncing in a very nonchalent style, that a workman engaged on the State House in Columbia, South , Was recently seized @ mob on account, as was alleged, of holning anti-slavery opinions, and that he received twenty-nine lashes, a Bs tarred and feathered, and escorted out of e State. It took a very few lines to tell this story, accord- ing to the style of the Southern press; for it isa trait of Southern chivalry first to practice cruelty, aud then tosuppress the facts. We have seen this unfortunate man and heard his story, and looked at hia wounds, His name is Jomes Power. is an im! geut young mau about twenty-three years of ace. « native of Wex ford, Ireland, and @ Btone cater by trade. He weat from Philadelphia to the South, aud obtained em- ployment in Columbia, where he ba: worked for nine months, The only opinion he ever exp) eed against slave- was that it caused a white laborer in the South to be looked upon as an inferior and degraded man But this was enough. The remirk was reported w the Vigilance Committee, (conposeg of twelve members,) who immediately ord-red fhe police to arrest him. He was seized, two miles away from town, in attempting to escape. Iu, was brought back, and pot ina cell, where he remained for three daya, daring which time he was denied the use of pen and ink, and all communication with his friends ovtside. At length he was taken before the Mayor. Four persons appeared and bore testimony to the remark which he bad made. The evideace was conclusive. He war returned to prison, and kept locked up for six days. Doring this time, he was allowed only two scanty meals a day, and the food was carried to him by a negro. He was then taken out of jail in the custody of two marshals, who said to him:— “ You are so fond of niggers that we are going to give you a nigger escort.” * was led through the main street amid a great crowd, hooting and yelling, the marshals compelling two niggers to drag him through the puddies and muddy places of the street and of the State House yard.” As he was taken past the State House, three members of the Legislature, including the Speaker, stood looking on and laughing. The crowd gra Gually increased until it numbered several thousand persons, headed by a troop of horse. After a march of three miles ont of the city, to a place called the “Junction,” the procession was stopped, and preparations were made for panish- ment. The populace cried “ Brand nim,” “ Born him,” “ Spike him to death,” and made threats against his life by pointing pistols at his head and flourishing sticks in his face. The Vigilance Committee ordered him to strip himself naked, aud forced a negro to assist in tak ing off the clothes. a cowhide was then put into the mean’ hands, who was ordered to lay on thir- ty-nine lashes (not twenty-nine, as reported), and todraw blood with every stroke. Our inf »rmant describes the pain of this infliction as exceeding in severity anything which he ever suffered before His back and lower limbs are still covered with the scars of the wounds. A bucket of tar was then brought, and two ne- groes were ordered to rub it upon his bleeding skin and to cover him from head to waist. His hair and eyebrows were clotted with the tar. After this part of the ceremony was concluded he was cover ed with feathers. His pantaloons were then drawn up to his waist, but he was not allowed to put on his shirt or coat. He was conducted in this exposed condition, amid the shouts of the Dopaae. to the railroad train and was put on board the negroes’ car. The engineer blew @ continuous blast on his whistle to signalize the performance. A citizen of Charleston on the train, who saw the poor tellow’s uvhappy condition, sepped in'o a ig, beara hotel, before the starting of the cars, and brought a cup of coffee and some biscuits to relieve the sufferer’s faintness. It was a timely gilt, and gratefully received. But the Southern chivalry gathered around the Southern gentleman, and threatened him with summary vengeance if he repeated his generosity. The exasperated crowd detained the train, and called for more tar and feathers, for a further infliction upon their bleeding victim. More tar was brought, but more feathers could not be found; and after fresh tar was applied, cotton was stuck upon it instead. When the train started for Charleston the mob bade him good-by, and told him that when he reached that city he would receive 130 lashes. At every station between Columbia and Charleston the engineer blew a prolonged whistle, and gathered a mob to add fresh insults to the wounded man. At length, on arriving, he was met by the police, con- veyed to prison, and detamed in his cell for an en- tire week. Here he received, for the first time, soap and water to wash off the tar, and oil to soften his nores. A mob several times threatened to break into the prison to carry him out into the street, and make a public spectacle of him a second time; but be was kept een confined. <A physician called to see him to examine his wounds, who told him that his case was a mild one, comparing it with that of a man who was then lying in the City Hospital from the effects of five hundred lashes, which had almost put an end to his life. On Saturday morning last, at seven o’cleck, the eo workman was taken from prison and con- ucted quietly on board the steamer for New York. He arrived in this ston Monday last, where he is still staying, recovel fram the effects of his ill eenenen, and looking for work, which we hope he may find. We have only one comment to make on this case. This man informed us that, in common with the great mass of Irishmen in this country, he had al- ways voted with the democratic party. He had long known in Philadelphia that the democratic arty upheld eerery but he never learned, uoti! fo went to South lina, that slavery crushed the white laborer, and that the democratic party in upholding slavery, is therefore the enemy o Irishmen, who are a@ nation of laborers. In the Southern States work is looked upon as dishonor. able and workmen as degraded. This is what an Irish stone cutter learned while cutting stone in South Carolina. We hope the lesson of his expe- rience may reach the ears of his countrymen. Benignity and Beneficence. {From the New York Evening Post.} Our readers have not, perhaps, forgotten Mr. Charles O'Conor’s eulogy, pronounced at the late Union meeting, on that “just, Deniz and benefi- cent institution,” slavery. A remarkable example of the kindly and humanizing effect of this benign and beneficent institution has just been given, the history of which we copy in another part of this sheet, under the title of “An Jrishman’s Sufferings in South Carolina.” Mr. O’Conor will see that the person to whom the adventure happened was one of his own kindred, and will not fail, we hope, when he next repeats his oration, to adduce it asa convincing example of the effect of slavery in soft- ening the manners and heightening the civilization of those regions which are blessed with ite in- fluences. An Trish mechanic, named James Power, who had ulways been @ goed demo3rat and voted with the pralaveny party, went to South Carolina, and ‘was employed as a stonecutier on the State House, a magpificent building, the pride of the State, now going up in Columina, where there is a college and professors, and a population not more barbarized, we suppose, than is to be found in other towns of its size atthe South. This an made the discovery that a white laborer at the Sonth, in consequence of slavery, which makes labor disgracefal, is looked upon as ona Shee a degraded class. He said ao. For this offence his apprehension was ordered by a Vigilance Committee; he attempted to make his escape, was pursued and seized two miles from town, was imprisoned for three days, without liberty to communicate with any of his frieads, was then brought before the Mayor, where the re- mark he had made was Ariel on which he was remanded to jail, kept there six days longer and half starved. At tho end of this period two marshals took the Trishman out of his cell, and made two negroes drag the poor man through all the muddy puddles on the way to the State Honse yard, where a crowd of several persons were assembled, headed by a troop of horse. They marched him ina procession to a place three miles out of the city, where, amidst brutal cries of vengeance from the crowd, he re- ceived thirty-nine lashes from a cowhide, drawing blood at every stroke; his Jacerated body was then daubed with tar from the head to the waist, and next covered with feathers. In this half naked state be was taken to the railway, and put on board the negroes’ car. Here the crowd detained the train, made a fresh Po of tar, and stack it over with cotton. train took him to Charles- ton, but at every stopping place on the way a mob gathered to inflict fresh insults. At Charleston he was ea jail for a week, and visited by a physi- cian, who comforted him by informing him that his case was a mild one, since there was another man then lying in the City Hospital, who had received five hundred lashes instead of thirty-nine, and was nearly killed by the infliction. by cee at the poor {See was ae oy of jail, being supposed now able to travel, and pu caboere a p Be for New York, where he arrived on Monday, and is here trying to get wel aud look- ing for work. The particulars we have given, it will be seen, are of Power's own story, bat the Charleston Mercury had already informed the public that this man had been publicly whipped and then tarred and feathered, and that his crime was that he entertained “anti-slavery opinions,” a3 a white mechanio at the South naturally would. The principal facte are admitted, and the minor circumstances are probably true. The remarkable feature of the case is the revolting brutality of the Southern population which it discloses. It seems to be one of the effects of the “benign and beneti- cent institution,” that it nourishes a wolfish ferosi- ty in the mass, and makes men indifferent to hnman snffering. The narrative of James Power is made probable by the examples which we have of the atri committed on other per- sona—such as the tarring and feathering and riding on a rail two poor Italian organ- seca in Alabama, on suspicion of being abolitionista—the tarring and feathering of a man in Clayton, in the same State, for the same rea- son—the tarring and eto and ducking of Sand , a Scotchman, at 8a! maine in North Caro! and we might add to these the indignity to which two gentlemen who arrived in the steam- er Huntsville from Savannah, on the 19th instant, had been subjected—a mob havimk seized them, ; But key shaved their heads on one side, and sent them out of South Carolina. aii The institation which has these blessed effects ‘s the one which Mr Buchanan tells us is established and legalized by the Dred Scott decision in all the Territories of the United States, until they become tates and are allowed to legislate for themselves. We are sure that the single case of James Power is enough to make every right minded man prey that an institution which encourages such ho brutalities may never be extended a single rood beyond the tpace it now occupies, and exert him- self to exclude it at any sacritoe from the Territo- ries. Wherever it goes, neither the personal lib- erty nor the personal safety of the whites can co- exist with it; pot only the black, but the white population are the slaves of the oligarchy. The Exiles from the South. [New York jeter in the Charleston Mercury.} There are several fellows in town, lately expelled from the South, with long red wales or stripes on their backs and traces of tar all over them, which they are showing % newspaper editors and aboli- tion capitalists in the hope of raising 8 parens and money. Of sympathy they get litde ce that goly from the abolitionists), and of money none. Tal ing these fellows’ own statements as true (which ie conceding a great deal to them), it would appear that Wes deequred all that they got. Th: » freely confess that they believed lked aboision while r ig in the South, and, in a variety of ways, violated the laws of the State whose hospitality they were enjoying. One of these miserable vagabonds carries a large patch of tar i a certaia re of his person, which he is proud of showing all who want to look at it, and which he says that he will wear forever, as a roud token of his martyrdom in the cause of justice and truth, He was a dealer in patent churns up to the date of his Indicrous mishap— but he now expecss, with the ample patch referred to as a business capital, to make a good easy living as a “martyr of freedom.” Ode Te William H.

QUELQU’UN. The Ocean Bird Controversy. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. Before Hon. Judge Betts. Jax. 13.—fn the matter of the seamship Ocean Bird.— ‘Thie case was resumed this morning. Mr. Fvarts, on be- half of the Spanish owners, read a(fidavits setting forth their claims to the custody of the vessel; he submitted that she should be delivered into the possession of the owpers and that she should be discharged from tbe cus- tody of the Marshal Alter a considerable deal of argument, the Court made wn order to the € that on filing tho requisite bonds and socnrity the Marshal must give up the property, buéthe Marshal bas ue right to put one party out, or to put another party in, but to give up the ship to those who file the adequate security. THE SEIZURE OF THE OCEAN BIRD. ‘TO TRE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Thave been sadly libelled by the Spanish Consul and the law reporters, through the columns of the various newspapers of this city. I do not say this to complain. T will leave complaining to my libellers. It will better fit them than me, as soon as my leisuire WM permit me to attend to the matter, It is fair to tha! part of the public who may take an interest in the matter that the facts, an they really exist, should be known. They are as fol- Jows:—The steamsbip Ocean Bird was built by me at the city of New York. I have never parted with my title, nor bave I ever voluntarily parted with porsession of that vessel. She was taken from my possession by force under an apparent title, which title has since been by a decree of the United States Circuit Court in equity de- clared to be void for fraud. This veasel has been absent from thie city ever since she was taken from my posses. siov. I lately heard she had come to this port. I was adviced by my counsel to replevy her as my property, and that it would be proper to demand her of the captain before proceeding to take her under the writ of replevin. 1 accordingly went on board on Monday last and de- manded the vessel of her captain, Viademonte, and stated ‘o him in brief the nature of my title to ber, and the manner in which she was taken from me. He at once yielded to my request, placed the vessel at my dis- poral without a word of cavil or objection, and drew with bie men, their Lee. etn articles of per: sonal property. After it was impossible to replevy. for the property was absolutely in my possession. “f therefore beld it until I was, as I believe, wrongfally dis- possessed by the Marshal of the United States under » pretended order of the Court. I have not used, or offered w use, apy vivience; no threat, or intimation that t aviolentact, has been uttered by mo or by any one in Ty interest, to my knowledge or belief. Some days afer the surrender of the vessel to me, some of the mechanics and other persons who had claims against the ship, fled hbels against her to sccure their Hiens. I at once gave bonds to the Marshal, to release ber under the act af Oon- gress. Alter this, Viademoute also filed similar bonds, and from the Proctor of the libellants a stipulation the vessel might be surreudereg to him. Under that stipulation, the counse! for Capt. Viademonto entered ‘‘a rule of course’ that tho vessel be delivered up. This rule, however, is only of force between the li bellants and Capt. Viademonte, and doos not, and cannot, in the ee affect my rights in the premises. Indeed, bis counse!, a8 1 am informed, made two or three @ parts applications to the Court to obtain a rule or order giving his claim preference over mine, but the Court ab solotely refused in any manner to intertero between us. Thos matter stands. JOHN GRAHAM.
