MINORITY REPORT.

Mr.. RUSSELL of Portage, from the SAME
committee, made the following report: IS
"As one of the minority of the committee
to which was referred the subject of repeal
Of all laws making a distinction on account
of color, | respectfully report that | have be-
slowed a suitable degree of attention upon
that subject, and regret the necessity which
compels me TO differ in some respects, from
both the majority and minority of the COM
mittee. But since an honest Inference sepa-
rates me in my conclusions from both, it re-
mains for me only to present, for the consi-
deration of the House, the ground on which
that difference is bundled | find, by refe-
ference 10 the past, that former Legislatures,
whose wisdom | have 70 reason to doubt,
considered il necessary to enact laws calcu-
lated to prohibit the introd uction of people Of
color INFO Ohio. The causes which led to
that necessity must be apparent to any one
who has given the subject a patient and cam
did consideration. The sunken, degraded
and miserable condition of the slave popula-
ton in the southern States, and our proXimi-
ty TO those States, still makes it necessary to
keep those laws, in a great degree in force.
If we were TO repeal all laws on that subject.
il appears TO me that we not only open a wide
door, but actually invite into our own State,
all the old, worn out, helpless and cast of
blacks Of the slave States, and with them all
the poverty, immortality and misery necessa-
rily attendant upon a life of slavery. Still.

of those without, ] an not willing to be con-
sidered unmindful of the waits and suffer.

Why do AbOlitiOniStS grow Cold in their

all undue lukewarmness is inconsistent OH
this subject as 1t is in religion and here as
well as among professors of religion are found
not a few Inconsistent professors.
Now where is the difficulty in this mat
ter?
Here are two Abolitionists, both honest,
and now both well engaged in the prosecu-
ZION of the good cause. But anon one be-
comes lukewarm and srspends elforts-the
other pursues the even tenor of his way, and
pushes onward, carrying in addition to his
former burden, which is all perhaps he ought
to assume, the burden which his neighbor
through lukewarmness has put off. We ask
once more, where is the difficulty! Like
most questions asked by editors, il it is an
swered at all, the answer must CONF from the
source whence emanated the question ST.
here it is, and if any cold hearted Abolition
list don't like the answer, let him give a bet
ter one.
The difficulty we apprehend lies in the
different ways or doors through which these
two persons entered into this work. One en-
tered through the door of ~feeling-the other
of reason. One entered by the way of i'm
pulse-the other by the way of Judgment
One by a mere nstinct-the other by refec-
ton and duty. And as they entered, 50 they
continue.
1t was remarked, by a good friend of our
cause, at the late convention in this town.

fell from his first love-and why Because
he, in order to do it, must 90 against reason.

this matter, and they come and go according
to circumstances, and he is always just where
you don't knOU where TO find him.

they think would involve them in response

were marked upon their countenances. As
they passed by, they fastened their eyes in

with pistols and Bowie knives. They drove

MunifiCCnCe of a Slave Dealer
r. HANNA.

We published few days since from the
New Orleans Tropic an account Of the : mu.
n%ihcence Of Mr.. Isaac franklin, who died
in April last in Louisiana, leaving the prin-
cipal part of his property, amounting to near
Iy ID million Of dollars, to be appropriated to
the endowment Of an Educational establish

were not aware at the time that this MIR.
franklin was the famous dealer in human
flesh, whose name has been so long familiar
throughout the country in connection with
the firm of Franklin & Armfeld. We have
often been assured that, throughout the South,
the negro trader is regarded with disgust and
abhoTrence; but this man who amsssed an
