DETROIT, FEB. Goth, Is42


DEFRoIT, FEB. Goth, ls42. j
On Monday evening, Feb. l4th,n
large meeting of the colored citizens of
Detroit met at the Baptist Church, to
take into consideration the situation Of
Nelson Hacket, now in prison In this ci-
ty, having been surrendered by the Gov
ernor General of Canada, to Lewis Dew
enport, on the requisition Of the Execu-.
tive of Arkansas as fugitive from jus
tice. Mr.. Lightfoot, the Chairman, sta
ted this meeting had been called to raise.
funds TO employ counsel to ascertain if
the papers sanctioning the surrender OF
the said Hackett were genuine. Mr..
I.ightfoot said he had, in company with
Messrs. Banks, Bibbs and Hall, consul
ted with counsel, who gave it as their
opinion, after examining the papers,
that they were genuine and regularly
, made out, and there was no point oflaw
on which they could institute suit in
his behalf Mr.. Monroe then introdu-
ced the following resolution:
Resolved, That committee be APP
pointed by this meeting to draw up
preamble and resolutions setting forth
the dangerous precedent of the Govern
ment Of Canada surrendering the said
Hacket to the Executive of Arkansas as
a fugitive from justice, when at the same
time, he was a refugee from slavery
Mr.. Monroe urged the adoption of this
resolution in a very eloquent speech.
and after considerable discussion it pas
sed The meeting then adjourned.
On Tuesday Evening, Feb. 22nd, q
large meeting assembled at the same
place, Mr.. Monroe in the chair. Mr..
French fervently addressed the throne
of grace. The committee who were ap-
pointed at the previous meeting repor-
ted the following preamble and resolu-
tions, which were unanimously adoP
ted:
Whereas, We have always viewed
the British Province of Canada as an
asylum for the unfortunate and oppresr
Sed slaves of the United States, and fond,
ly believed the moment they touched
those shores, that moment they were
free. And whereas the Governor Gen
eral did, on the 18th January, l842.
surrender one Nelson Haeket, to Lew
is Davenport, of the city of Detroit,
State of Michigan, to be by him given
up to the authorities of Arkansas fugi-
tive from justice. The said Ha.ket xas
confined for several months in the ja:k-
of Sandwich, Western District, Upper
Canada, and on the night Of the 9Th Feb
at a late hour was conveyed across the
river and lodged in prison in the city of
Detroit; and whereas, it is a settled
principle in the slave code that every
slave who absconds for his liberty is, .
refugee from justice. a principle well
understood in Great Britain, and Of
course familiar to his Excellency the
Governor General: and whereas aae
said Haeket was not demanded by TIE
auihorities of Arkansas for the pnrpese

TRAVELLING SKETCHES.
BY ALEXANDRA DUMAS.
Translated for the New World" by
E. S. GOULD, ESQ.
G. Il N VA;
And a TOnr or the Lake.

With the exception of Naples, Gene
va is perhaps the most delightfully."- situa-
ted city in the world. Indolently recli-
ing like Naples, her head on the base
Of Mount Saleve and her feet kissed by
the ripples Of the lake, she seems yolup-
tuously to regard the thousand villas
scattered along the sides Of the snow-cap-
bed mountains on her right and crowning
the green hills on her left. Her light
barks with triangular sails, as white and
swift as the sea- gull, glide over the sur
face the waters; and her heavy steam
ers plough their way through its depths,
leaving behind and around them field
Of sparkling foam. Beneath this bril-
liant sky ard beside these beautiful wa
ters, it would seem that physical exer-
ton were superfluous, and that to live,
it were necessary only to breathe. Yet
this listless odalisque, this apparently in
dolent SuItana, is in fact the queen of In
dustrv: the active, commercial Geneva
numbers, no less than eighty-five mil
iionaires among her twenty thousand chill
dren.
Geneva, as her Celtic etvmology in
dicates, was founded about two thousand,
FIVE hundred years ago. Caesar, in his
commentaries, latinized the barbarous,
and made ofGEN-Ev, Geneva. Antonlne,
in his itinerary, changed the name to CE-
NAHUM: Gregoire de Tours, in his chron-
icles. STYLED her JANoBA the writers
from the eighth to the fifteenth century
called her GEBENNA; and, finally, in 1886
she took the name of GENEvE Geneva
English) and has ever since retained it.
The first historical account that we have
Of this city was transmitted to US by Ca-
sar. He informs us that he established
himself at Geneva to oppose the lnva-
sion of the Helvetians into Gaul; and,
finding its position favorable for mill
tary post. there intrenched himself. L
was then that he built tower, which still
bears his name, on the island that divides
the Rhone where it issues from the lake.
Geneva passed under the Roman yoke,
and adopted the gods of the capitol: a
temple to Apollo was erected on the spot
where the church Of St. Peter now
stands; and rock in the lake, about
two hundred yards from the shore, owed
to its situation the honor of being conse-
Grated by the fishermen to the god ofthe
sea. Toward the commencement ofthe
seventeenth century, some workmen,
while digging among the rubbish near
the base Of this rock, discovered two
small axes and brass knife, which were
used to slay the animals destined for
sacrifice. III our day, this altar to Neptune
is called simply Niton's rock.
Geneva submitted to the Romans for
five centuries. In 426, that flood of
barbarians that was overwhelming Eu-
rope, inundated her with one of its waves.
She passed successively under the DOM
ination of the Burgundians, the Ost-
Goths, the Emperor ofGermany, Charles
the Bald, and others. until 1901, when

each monarch retained fragment in his

Piedmont; and the Emperor of Aus
tria, Italy. Geneva still remained at

one was able to take it, though no one
was wiling to leave it in the possession
of France 1t was therefore presented
by Congress to the Swiss confederation,
and received the title Of the Twenty Sec
ond Canton.
Among all the capitals of Switzerland,
Geneva represents the aristocracy of
wealth. 1t is the city PAR EXCELLENCE,
Of luxury, of equipages, of watches, of
jewels, and of chains of gold. Its three
thousand workmen furnish all Europe
with trinkets. Seventy-6vc thousand
ounces of gold and fifty thousand marks
Of silver are annually transformed in the
hands of these workmen, from the bull
lion to merchandise; and their wages
amount to two millions, one hundred and
fifty thousand francs The most fash
ionable jewellers shop in Geneva is,
without contradiction, that of Beautte a
sight of his collection is enough to craze
Partisan woman, and to make Cleopa-
ira thrill with envy in her sepulchre.
These jewels are subjected to duty
when they cross the frontiers OF France ;
but, for commission of five per cent,
M. Beaute will bind himself to deliver
them in Paris, he assuming the risk of
smuggling them. The bargain to this
effect is made openly, as if there were
no custom house officers in the world :
and M. Beautte certainly possesses mar
vellous adroitness in putting such Off
GERS at fault. The following anecdote
will illustrate the extent of his skill.
When the Count de st. Cricq was
director general of the French customs,
he learned this smuggling was carried
on openly and in defiance of the vigilance
of his agents, and he determined to put
the famous jewellers ingenuity to the
test He proceeded to Geneva, called
at NJ. Beauties shop, and purchased
jewels for thirty thousand francs, on con-
dition that they should he delivered at
his hotel in Paris, free of duty. M
Beautte acceded to the proposal as a
matter Of course and presented the
purchaser for signature a bond by which
he obligated himself to pay the thirty
thousand francs on the receipt of the
jewels in Paris, together with the GUS
tomary commission of five per cent.
The Count smiled as he took the pen to
subscribe this bond, and then signed it,
at length, De ST CRIco, DIREcToR Cen
ERAL OF THE FRENCH CUSTOMS. He re-
turned the paper to Beautte, who look
ed at the signature, and calmly replied,
with respectful inclination of the head,
Monsieur le directeur, the articles you
have done me the honor to purchase
shall be in Paris as soon as yourself
De st Cricq, who was somewhat Piqu-
ed at this remark, returned to his lodg-
ings, dined hastily, sent for post horses,
and was on his way home within few
hours after his bargain was completed.
ITO be continued.

she passed definitely into the hands OF
n n

the Counts or savoy
At this epoch, great social transform
alton was in progress throughout Eu-
rope. The communes of France had en-
fianchised themselves in the eleventh CEN
tury in the twelfth, the cities of Lom-
hardy had formed themselves into re-
publics; at the commencement of the
fourteenth, the cantons of Switz, Uri and
Underwalden escaped from the dominion
of the empire, and laid the basis of that
confederation that was, one day, to unite
all Helyetia. s luf
Geneva, placed in the centre of this
triangle Of democracy, felt in turn, the
fire that liberty waited toward her from
all sides. In 1919, she contracted an al
lance with Fribourg, and soon after uni
ted herself to Berne. Children were
born to her who became great men. A.
postles appeared, who preached liberty
in the midst of sufferings and privations
BoNNIvAR was for six wears chained to

tongue and spit it in the face of his execu-
toner, who babe him denounce his ac-

to the scaffold, on the place de l'Isle, and
hesought to ask pardon Of the Duke, re-
replied,
1t is for criminals and guilty men to
ask pardon: let the Duke ask pardon from
God for assassinating me !''-and he laid
his head on the block.
The Refomalion-which obliged the
nations to take so large stride that, wea-
ried by that stride, they have rested ev-
er since-entered Geneva, after havig O.
verspread great art of Germany and
Switzerland. 1t was powerful auxili-
ary to the spirit of liberty; for it added
religious animosity to political hatred.
The Bishop, Pierre de la Beaume, left
Geneva in 1885, never to return, and
the republic was proclaimed.
In 1886, Calvin established himselfin
Geneva, when the council offered him
the appointment Of Professor of Theolo-
gy. The austereness of his habits, the
severity Of his eloquence, and the inflex-
ibiIify of his principles, gave him an in
fluence over his fellow citizens that e.
ven his persecution of Servetas could
not destroy: and when he died, in 554,
he left the little city of Geneva the cap
ital of new religious world-the Rome
of Professionalism.
The Duke Charles Emanuel, of Sa-
voy, IN 1902, made a last but unsuccess-
ful effort to regain possession of Geneva.
The event is known in the Genevese an
nails as the Escalade, because the Duke
commanded the walls to be scaled by a
chosen band at midnight. He was repuls-
ed by the half naked and half armed inha-
Z ants. The anniversary of this victory
on the part of the citizens is still celebra-
ted by a national fete. The seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries were periods
of repose for Geneva; and during this
time her commerce so increased that
now, industry is all to her, while terri
torial property is nothing. If each in
habitant of the canton should claim an
equal portion of the soil, the dividend
would amount TO some ten feet square.
