ARRIVAL OF JONATHAN WALKER!

Captain Walker the victim of UNITED
STATES SLAVERY in Florida, arrived in New
York on the l1lh inst, on his way u lis family
lin Harwich Mass, his fines having been cancel
ed, mainly by one individual in Mass. He was
kept in loathsome prison about eleven months,
most Of tho time heavily ironed ! 1t has cost in
aIi some $500 to effect his defcraocc, by the
payment OF fines, lawyers fees, &c. J., i.-ald his
health has suffered considerably from the brutal
treatment he has received among these human %
hyenas. On The palm and ball Of his right hand
the letters S S., rudely formed, are distinctly vsi-
Bile, burnt in with the red-hot branding iron of the
UNITED STATES COURT in Florida! The
New York Tribune says:
''He freely admits that he attempted 90 carry
seven slaves, at their request from Pensacola to
Nassau. The voyage was undertaken in an OPP
Gu boat, and they had been fourteen days at sea
when taken up near Cape Florida by wrecker
from Key West! Capt. w states that John M.
Blunt, the lawyer sent to Pensacola to defend him
turned out miserable swhder pocketing about
800 without even appearing in his behalf, 0ltho'
he was within few miles Of the place white the
trial was going on.
Capt Walker sustaIns high character for in
togrity and pety among those who know him in
Massachusetts, and has wife and eight children
from whom he has been separated now nearly two
years, during which time they have fels - deep
est anxiety for his fate. The brand on his hand
he styles the coat of arms of the United State.
If the slaves had been arhite and Capt. w. had ell
dnngcred his life in taking them away from the
Arabs, the brand would have been deemed mark
Of honor in every part Of the country, and Con.
sress would have FASTENED to testify the respcca I'd
gratitude Of the nation for his services But the
slaves were black and held in bondage under the
authority Of u. S. law, aud we suppose there can
be no doubt that he was Il rogue! Hail Coum-
bia i''

.lhoays Ahead-The county of Wyoming
has effected a triumph in the cause Of Liberty
which no other county has done. AT the spring
election in ono town, China the Liberty party
elected, we believe, their entire. ticket, while
some neigh5orng towns elected part of their
ticket; yet we have not seen this fact published
in the eastern Liberty papers Don't be enyious
brethren, but go and do likewise. The Liberty
party was first organised in this county: Brney
was here first nominated; and it was the represent
tatiye, c. O, Sheppard, from this county, that
was the first to stand up in our Legislature and
make an anti-slarery speech. And it was by the
citizens of Wyoming county the first Liberty pa
pers Of the State were started and received their
principal support and continued for long time to
be mainly sustained by them; but we rejoice thai
the eastern part of the State are now pretty able
to sustain their own papers, and leave western
New York to do the same, C0mtryman

loving preamble aud resolutions:
TVhereas, Slavery being in its legitimate opera
tiols IL system of nquity, involving the violation
of every command Of the decaloguc inconsistent
with the pure principles Of the gospel, at war
with the sacred rights of God and man; and
whereas, the church and ministry have been dele
and are designed to be the light of the world and
leaders in every moral reform; Therefore, Resolv-
ed that no man can be consistent christian, SO
long he hides his light and uses his great moral
power as an engine Of destruction rather than
of heathful reform.
RESOLVED, That prolessed Chsistians, who sep
verate profession from correct practice, insult
Heaven and rob themselves of all good moral
influence. a5 .-ee s.efs e. -.
70 ResoiUed, That every one does this, who know
iugly lelIowshps slave holders or their abettors,
apologies for slavery, sustains it morally OF pot-
ically, Or refuses to open his mouth for the dumb,
so long as he processes to be governed by the prn7
cples Of the gospel, aud believes in the common
Brotherhood Of man. s.. tr9aa9s hH @aw
ResOlued, Thatwe will withhold all our inhu-
ence, physical, moral political aud religious from
the support of the system; and will, by the use of
all right, well directed means, seek its peace
full, immediate aud everlasting overthrow.
Resolved, That we consider slavery such sys-
TEN of wckedness, as excludes all who practise
or defend it, from the Church of Chlist. We do
not consider the great Head of the Church as in
viting any such to his communion table, nor au-
thorizing any ofhis disciples TODD it, 4
Resolced, That we will no longer sustain any
benevolent society which receives into It's treasury

CAssIUS NJ. CLAY.

We are heartily glad to see the following note
from this lion-hearted Reformer, in the N Y.
Tribune of Tuesday last. Not a few of Mr..
Clay's warmest friends and admirers have been
deeply panied at his too evident willingness to
appeal to the absurd ''code of honor" in vindic-
alton of his motives and character, and they can
rejoice at the determination he now frankly ex-
presses, 'never in any manner to give deuling his
countenancc or support" We hail this resolve as
an evidence of Progress in one whom we believe
Godhasraised up to accomplish great things for the
cause OF Human Freedom as an indication that
he is becoming more aud more qualified for this
great work-and as illustrative of the legitimate
influence of anti-slavery principles upon an
honest and nquring mind,

TIE FIRE IN RuTLAND.--Our village was,
on Friday night last, visited by fire more dis
astrous in its consequence, than any that has
ever before been sent upon u.s. 1t was first dis
covered in the extreme rear Of the large stable
attached to the hotel owned and occupied by Mr..
Z. Warner, and which, together with the barns
and stables, was soon cnyeoped in the flames.
The store occupied by DR. ]. Porter and the dwell,
ing-house occupied by DR.. c, Porter, both Of
which joined the hotel on the north, were also de-
stroyed. The store known as the Hooker store"
aud which was separated from the hotel on the
south by narrow alley only was in the flames
and soon fell to the ground The dwelling next
in course, occupied by Mr.. Lester Mason and
r. G. Hunter, Esq, was found to be already on
fire, and preparations were made to save the next
building, being the large store of L. Daniels,
and which to lose, was to lose all below on that
side of the street for considerable distance, and
which embraces the best aud principal business
part of our village. And the effort was success
full All the property was insured,

HORACE GREELEY, EsQ.---The deep and heart
felt remonstrances of friends, elected by my dp.
parent willingness to resort to the Duel, display
ed in the first number of The True American,
Notwithstanding the very peculiar and trying cir
cumsances in which have been placed, have led
me to give this much-debatcd subject my most
serious and deliberate reflection Whilst shall
ever contend for the right of selEdefence where
the civil power cann't or will net come to my
rescue: so where the laws are sufficient for pro-
lection and the public sentiment enforces them,
there am willing to confess that the Duel can
not be justified Having fully tested the legal
and moral power Of my native State to which
owe nyiolate allegiance, feel that owe it to
her-to our National Religion-and to the Spir-
it Of tie Age, that should subject myself to
their sole protection. therefore form; / " pledge
myself never again to offer or accept challenge
or in any manner to give Dueling my counrenance
or support Believing this annunciation would
not only be agreeable to you but many friends
who have been SO kind as to manifest an interest
in my humble fortune, associated in some slight
degree with the cause of Republicanism and ra-
tonal Liberty, venture to ask for this note an
insertion in your widespread columns.
