Are we Free =?

Read the following extract from the charge
of Chief Justice Tanney to the jury, in the
case of Thomas Garret Ito which we referred
last week. and then answer the question for
yourselves. 1t will be found to present a
brief but clear illustration of the character of
the law of '93 and its practical results; and
remember that every political %aspirant must
swear to support this law before he can cross
the threshold of office; and that every voter
through his representative promises TO abide
by it. Our Puritanic ancestors are much
censured by their descendants because they
strove TO expel heresy by banishing Baptlsts
and hanging Quakers. Some palliation Of
their offences may be found in the fiery Sec
tartan zeal which burned in their bosoms, and
in the conviction that they were thus doing
God service. But the American people, in
their attempt to expel the heresy of christian
iy by making it a penal offence to feed the
hungry, clothe the naked, and bewray not
him that VANDERBILT, have no such plea to Of
fer. Their service is out and out devil-wor-
ship, and they feel 1t 10 De So
But to the extract.
To entitle the plaintiff to a verdict in this
case, it is necessary for him 10 have proved
nronerty in the slaves. This has not been
contradicted by the defence. 1t only remains
then to prove that they escaped, and that the
defendant llarbored them, knowing them 10
he slaves. 1t does not require absolute know
ledre on the part of the defendant that these
persons were slaves. If, at the time, or be-
fore he harbored them, circumstances came to
his knowledge sufficient to create a reasonable
belief in his mind, that they were slaves, or
sufficient to put a prudent man upon his In
ouiry, it is knowing by harboring' within the
meaning OF the act Of Congress, and makes
him liable to the penalty. If, therefore, you
believe that these persons were the property
of the plaintiff, and that the defendant carried
Them from New Castle to Wilmington, or
caused them 10 be carried there, and taken to
his store, with a knowledge that they were
slaves. or under circumstances sufficient 10
excite the suspicion of their being slaves and
that they were taken away for the purpose OF
avoidinG pursuit, and OF preventing their
owner from recovering them, You must md
a verdict for the plaintiff; if you believe 9TH
erwise, your verdict will be Tor the deIen-
dant.

WESTERN ANTI-SLAVERY FAIR.

The result Of the effort made last year by
the Abolitionists Of the West, TO hold an An
ti-Slavery Fair, was abundantly gratifying /;
and fully demonstrated the practlcability and
usefulness o! the plan. The Call was prompt
ly responded TO by many, the avails of whose
labor greatly aided the Western Anti Slavery
Society, and enabled it to prosecute its work
with renewed vigor. The eXigencies of the
cause demand as much sacrifice and effort
now as were needed then. The victory of
Freedom Is not yet won-the clank Of the
bondman's letters has not yet ceased-Amer-
lean women are still chatteliZed and imbruted.
The blighting influence that slavery has ex-
tended over the South and over the North,
still eXists-the Church is not yet purified of
It's iniquity, nor the State redeemed from its
degradation. We therefore, friends of the
Slave, appeal 10 you again-we appeal to
your love of Liberty-to your reverence for
the Eternal principles of Right; and ask you
to bring this year another offering that nay
be used for the dissemination of ~Anti-Slavery
Truth - for the increase of ~Anti-SlaveTy
knowledge.
No inconsiderable portion of the donations
at last years Fair, was derived from the Far
mer, the Mechanic, the Merchant and the
Manufacturer-wilI they not be as generous
now as then, and each give ungrudgingly and
literally that which he has to beslowl Ar
ticIes that cannot readily be transported to the
Fair, may, with a little effort, be converted
into money, or exchanged for goods that can
be carried. Those who wish to aid in this
work, need not be at a loss how to labor
Where Sewing Circles are not already in
operation, may we not confidently hope they
will speedily be organized, that their varied
gifts Of beautiful and fancy articles may not
be wanting!
The special object Of the proposed Fair is
to aid the Western Anti-SIavery Society; and
all funds there received will be placed in its
Treasury-no goods are solicited, and none
will be sold for the benefit of any other OBJ
iect. Those who are willing to assist this
Society in sustaining its various agencies for
promoting Anu-Sla,ery agitation, for hasten

The New England Convention,

Which is always one Of the most spirit-siir-
ring gatherings of abolitlonists, is represent
ed TO have been unusually interesting this
wear. Although the weather was untavora-
BILE a portion of the time, yet the attendance
was large, and the anii-slavery friends gave
the most substantial tokens of interest in the
cause of freedom, for they felt, like wise men
and true, both in their hearts and in their
pockets; and resolved upon agitating the Old
Bay State by pouring into it the fire from a
hundred Conventions. To aid in this move
ment, $1,000 were raised on the spot; so that
if Massachusetts is to have her Wing con-
ventions, and her Democratic conventions,
where Taylorism and Cassism is to be preach
ed, she will have her Anti-Slavery conyen-
ions where &" Liberty, Equality, Fraternity"
will be advocated. Evil and Good will both
be placed before her, and her choice will seal
her destruction or win her redemption.
In referring to the minutes of the Conven-
ton, we find we erred in stating that all the
resolutions which are copied on our first page
were adopted. From their silence respecting
the two Preambles Immediately following the
3rd resolution, together with the two resolu-
tions in regard to the formation of National
Redemption Society, we presume no action
was had.

"CARRY ME BACK TO OLD NIRGINIA!"-
At the Baltimore Convention, Mr.. Senator
Dickinson, who made himself the mouthpiece
OF the Old Hunkers, bid high for the privilege
OF being considered chiefly above all, the vas
sal of the slave power. He hopes that thrift
will follow tawning,' and was therefore care
full on all occasions 10 pronounce how ready
and glad he was TO obey his overseers. AT
the close Of one of his speeches his abuse of
the Barnburners was SO outrageous and his
laudatlOn of the South so fulsome and often
slve that about fifty OF the Northern Delegates
left the House in disgust. On this occasion
he expressed his regret that he was not born
in Virginia" With this sentiment the De.
mocrats of Troy at a meeting a few evenings
since, expressed their entire unanimity in The
following resolution:
Resolved, That in Senator Dickinson's ex.
preston of regret I" that he was not born in
Virginia." his Democratic constituents fully
agree with him. That is the only point on
which there is any real sympathy between
them and him. That they implore him to at
no voluntary agency by emigrating as soon
as possible to the State of his preference.
The Resolution, says the Albany Atlas,
was adopted with a tumult of applause, and
when the band struck up, 90! carry me back
to old Virginia" there was a perfect uproar
of laughter. The air and the words of the
song were peculiarly applicable;
L" And when | am dead and gone,
Place my banjo by my side;
Let the possum and coons to my funeral come,
For they were always my pride.
Then in soft repose I'll sleep,
And dream for evermore
That you've carried me back to old Virginia,
To old Virginia's Shore
