As the ease is likely eventually to come before
the Privy Council of England, an opportunity
will in the Meantime be afforded to the public to
utter a loud and detertnined protest against a
decision, the recognition of which were the into-
lerable humiliation of England before the whole
world, while it would certainly strengthen the
hands and encourage the hearts of the wicked
and bloodthirsty slaveowners of the southern
States. At this critical juncture of affairs in the
progress of " the irrepressible conflict,?" any act
which might be construed as lending English
countenance to American slavery ought to be
viewed in itself as an unmitigated calamity to the
cause of the oppressed, and an indelible disgrace
to the land which boasts itself the birthplace and
home of Freedom.

Poor ANDERSON, the fugitive slave, affected by
this decision, was brought up to manhood by one
MOSES BURTON. lie is said to be a stoutly built
man, of middle height, and of a very deep yellow
complexion, with a full development of forehead,
and a countenance in which mildness and intelli-
gence are strongly marked. Look at him as
closely as you will, says an eyewitness, you fail
to find indications of the stern determination
which would lead a man to turn upon his ruth-
less pursuer in the very moment of assault; one
could not help thinking that if this man did such
a thing, it was not from natural love of violence
or blood, but because he was filled at the moment
with the thirst for freedom which has in all
ages inspired deeds of heroic courage. But
we are anticipating the narrative. This mild
and intelligent bondsman married a slave on
a neighbouring property. One child was
the fruit of this " marriage,"—if such an
ephemeral and debasing union, can be so called.
ANDERSON'S owner, for his own purposes, and
with the nstial disregard of his class for the family
relationship which had been formed, sold the
husband and rather to a distant slaveowner:
Can it be, d matter of surprise to any Englishman
that., this cruelly-treated slave sought to escape
from bondage. He did effect his escape, and was,
pursued and hunted like a wild beast. At last
the bloodhounds were close upon the runaway'S
heels A wretch of, the name of DIGGES, a hire-
ling who led on the inhuman pursuit, strained
every nerve to reach the poor :fugitive, that he
