Sire Casc.-The details which we pub
liShed yeste rdlv Of the refusal of three oi
the Courts of New York to entertain the
right of ownership OF person claimed as
slave bv one of the most respectable ci,-
Zens of Maryland, is calculated to arrest
public attention throughout the Souhern
country. The claimant in this case, after
arresting his slave, applied to three several
Jurisdictions, and each of them positively
refused, upon fiim'y and insufficient pre-
texts, to adjudicate the question.
There is not citizen of MARYLAND. ac-
quaintcd with the hiyh standing of this clai-
mint, WHO can entertain the least doubt that
the sllvc Was his, and The good faith which
1t Is the duty of the cD,r.s Of the non-sIave-

this justly exposes them to the chirre OF
leaning to the side Unpopular prej,,dire and
clamor TO an extent Inconsistent with the
rights OF the owners IF Southern slaves.

IN itself, OF small consequence to The owner.
But, feeling that in its result arc involved
principles of the utmost inportanbe To The
