odious privilege of slaveholding; a
privilege SO repugnant to the principles
OF our constitution, SO Inconsistent with
republicanisn, SO abhorrcht to the feel
ings of humanity, and so opposite to the
true interests of that portion Of the en-
pire:
Therefore, Resotped by the Senate
and House Of Representatives Of the
Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania, in
General dsSem6ly met, That our Sena-
tors and Representative in Congress, be
requested to use their utmost endeavors
to prevent the introduction of slavery
into Missouri, and every other state that
may hereafter be admitted into the
Union.
RESOLVED, That the Governor be re-
quested to transmit copies of the fore
going preamble and resolution 10 each
of our Senators and Representatives in
Congress,
The resolutions of Mr.. Duane have
passed the house of Representatives

Ohio Legisiature.-The joint COM
mittee appointed to examine the abstracts

Steam Ship Savannah.-Arrived at
this port on the 10th inst. the elegant
steam ship Savannah, captain Rodgers,
from St. Petersburgh, Russia, via Sa-
vannah, in fifty days from the former
place, having touched on her passage
home, four days at Copenhagen, and
four days at Arundel in Norway. She
encountered very heavy gale in the
north sea, and two from Savannah to this
port-one from the north east after leav-
ing Savannah bar, and one from the
north west on this side of Cape Hatteras,
having only ten hours fair wind on her
passage from Savannah, which place
she left on the 4th inst. She also en-
countered many other gales on her pas
sage out, and has met with no accident
excepting the loss of small boat and
anchors. Her machinery has met with
no accident; her wheels are so con-
structed as to be taken all on board in
from ten to twenty minutes, which leaves
the vessel in the same situation as any
other ordinary ship, and as capable of
resisting the action of the waves. From
twenty miles this side of Cape Hatteras
to this place, she came by the power of
steam only, against the severe north
west gale we have had the last three
days. Mar. Intel.

TO ALL WHo.M 1T .MaY CONCERN


TAKE NOTICE, That, in pursuance of a
dedimus, granted by the honorable John Rev
nolds, one of the associate justices of the su.
preme court of the state of Illinois, | shall, on
the eighth day of March next, at the clerk s
office in Belleville, proceed to take the depo-
sltion of George Blair and Margaret Blair, for
the purposes mentioned in the following peti-
ton, to wit:
10 John Reynolds, Esq. one ofthe associate jus-
fices Of the supreme court Of the state IF Mi,ois
YOUR petitioner, Samuel Reedle, respect
fully represents, that one James GRAY, on
the 9th day of November, 1900, by virtue of
an act of congress, held and claimed an i'm
provement donation Of four hundred acres, in
the county of st. Clair, in the then territory
OF Indiana; and that on the same day the said
Gray, for valuable consideration, by deed of
bargain and sale, sold the said improvement
donation by the name of his, the said James
Gray's "donation right of four hundred acres
of land" to one William Sportsman; and on
the 22d day of July, 1905, said Sportsman, in
writing on the back of said deed of bargain
and sale, assigned and transferred said dona-
ton claim to one John Caruthers, for valua-
bic consideration; and in the month of Febru-
arv, 1918, said Caruthers, for valuable con-
sideration, by deed, sold and conveyed said
donation claim to your petitioner. The said
donation claim was confirmed by the board of
commissioners, by the description of "James
Gray's improvement Donation" and patent
has been granted to the legal representatives
of said Gray. ~.
Your petitioner believes he can prove by
the oath of George Blair, and Margaret Blair,
that the Improvement donation patented to
the legal representatives of James Gray, is the
same tract or parcel of land that said Gray sold
to said Sportsman, and that said Gray never
had any other donation of land of any kind
from the congress of the United States, in the
Illinois country, than the one as aforesaid sold
to the said Sportsman; and as the said George
and Margaret have grown old, and will pro-
badly die, in the course of nature, in short
tlme-and as their evidence is deemed mate
rial to establish the claim ofyour petitioner to
said land, your petitioner prays your honor to
grant and issue didmus to authorize him to
take the dispositions of said George and Mar
garet Blair, in the town of Belleville, at the
clerks office, on the eighth day of March
next, to perpetuate the evidence of your pc
titioner's title to said tract of land, &c.
