The followíng eentimente nrc published in tlic New Orleans Cresccnt, and fully endoreed by the St. LouÍ3 Penant. They evinro a spirit worthy the inhabitants ofhell. Why are not the laws against the residence of free negroes put in forree? - Are they so necessary to us, wiih their flbolition friends, that we must needs have them? Whose duty is it to see that they are rooted out "according to !nv?" Let him do his duty or be impeached. VVe cali upon ihecomrnunity to bo wntchful; to regent, by the blow of death, if necessary, iheslighlest approach towardsnn insult on ihe pnrt of a free negro. Wc cali vpon tkejustices, recorders and Judgcs of the Courts, to go to Ihefull exleut of the law, in every case where a negro has s truck a White man - to show no mercy - to extenvaie nolhing, hut cul right and left with the doublc edged noord of s ever e right. Un- , Jcss something be dono by the represenlatives of the peoplo, ns they sit in the councit or on the bench,or plead before th; tmr, the public must needs urm itselfand HiKrARE to slay. Such ft state of things we would not liko tosee, but vo tnke the broad ground that the free nègroes must be driven out of this city, on slauuhtehkd in it. Our slaves ore poisoned and ruined by ihcin; they are the nucleus oround which all the nbohtionisis cluster, and the most powerful tools they can uso. íiOtus ieave cotton and sugar, and rico and tobáceo, to their fate, until we can go to our places of business in the morning with n confidence that our families and households will not be outraged before night."(jJWe most cheerfully givo place to the following Communications from Kalarnazoo.

For the Signal of Liberty'. Schooi-craft, Sept. 2, 1841. At the present stage of our enterprize t ís important that rneasnres be adopted to give our principies a wüe ppread ainong the pcople. f The slavc power, possossins a9 it doos, such ontire control of tlie Government, phoiild beunderstooii by tho {jreat mass, in order that they may be induced to act with efficiency lor iis removal. The facts as they exist, in connection with this question.should be presented to the pcople in a forcible manuer. For that purpose I venturo tosuggest the propriety of the caliing of a number of State conventions by the" State Central Cornmiltce of the Liberty party - auch conventions to be held in different sectiong of Ihe State, succeeding each other by short intervals, previous to the ensuing election; for the purpose of fully diacussing and exhibiting to the peoi plo the political and financial power of slavcry. I think such conventions might bo of immense importance to the advancement oí the aboliiion cause and I know of olher means belter calculátued to specdily spread tho subject before the people.
