gentlemen. who appeared much excited at our
presence. We informed the TAILOR that we
came as counsel for the prisoners, and desir-
ed to see them. He acknowledge our right,
but as he started to admit us, he was called
back by those present, who opposed our be-
ing permitted to see them. He however de-
termined that we should see them, and I'M
locked a grated door which led up a pair Of
stairs into the second story. When we pas
sed thro' it, he turned the key and gave 1t to
the guard, and directed him to let no one in.
We assembled the stairs, another grated door
was opened, through which we entered into
a narrow passage which led TO the cells in
which the prisoners were separately confn-
ed. We asked them if they had any friends
or counsel. They said they had not. We
told them that we had come to assure them
that they had friends who would see that they
had a legal trial. One OF the poor fellows
burst into tears. As the examination is to
come of to-day, and Mr.. Giddings could not
be present on account of official duties, they
desired me TO act as their attorney. and wish
ed to relate to me the circumstances. At this
time an individual came up stairs, called the
TAILOR TO him, and told him that we should not
be permitted to talk with the prisoners. He
was a ferce-looking fellow, and evidently the
head of mob.
The TAILOR closed the door that led to the
passage where we were, ard locked it, lock-
ing himself in with US. He replied that we
had a right as counsel 10 consult with our cli
ents, and he should give US the enjoyment of
the right. The leader of the mob then went
down stairs, and soon came up again, with
about thirty more, and declared TO us that we
should stay there no longer. They had COM
PEELED the guard to violate orders, give up
the KEY, and open to them the door. The
tailor was evidently somewhat alarmed; said
he was unarmed and was afraid to have us
90 down; and declared to them we should
not as long as they were there. They then
went down the stairs. The jailor was still
fearful TO have us 90 down. We, however,
assured him that we had no fears; that at
least we were willing to risk ourselves. we
then went down; the mob opened to the rIght
and left, and let us pass, the leader declaring
that we should not be hurt, but that the prl-
soners shouM be punished. We replied, that
whether they were punished or not, was Tor
the law to say, and not for us, but that we
were determined that they should have a fair
trial, and the aid of legal counsel.

&c The Nigger'S Crave

In an article we copied last week, showing
the pro-slavery condition Of southern Illinois,
reference was made TO a fugitive slave who
was killed in an attempt 10 take him, and
whose resting place was contemptuously
marked by an nscription-"The Nigger's
Grave" When we read it, the following
eloquent passage from one of George Thomp-
sons lectures, occurred to us as a most APP
p~ropriate commentary.
"Not only has the negro been denied the
enjoyment Of civil rights-not only has he
been doomed to hew wood and draw water
for the white man; but the benefits OF reli-
gion have been denied-his teachers have
been persecLt ted and banished-the house in
which he worshipped his God, and in which
he was taught to life his eyes in hope and
confidence to one common Father-that house
has been RACED to its foundation; thus par
ticularly, eUcn IN tie present day, has his right
to hope for Immortality been denied, and ne
has been consigned to ignorance and vice. 10
the labor and treatment Of a brute on earll'
and the destiny of a brute hereafter. YETI MS
pale oppressor has proudly claimed immor-
tality for himself, and has contemplated that
immortality without dread of the Judgment
awaiting him for his ruthless conduct towards
his sable victim. But (and ! thank Heaven)
a title to immortality is not the exclusive pre-
rorative of the white man; they must both
die the same death-both mlngle win me
same earth-both be resolved into the same
element-both be judged at the same trlbu-
nal-by the same rule-both admitted to the
same heaven, or banished to the same hell.
Yes let the oPpressor die let men bear his
corse to the tomb decked with the trapplngs
of an earthly splendor! let them write his
epitaph on marble, and celebrate virtues
which he never had, and let them say, high
on his escutcheon, Resurgan', Resurgam' re
surgam, | shall rise again; and will visit
the grave of the lowly negro, the enslaved,
insulted, degraded and lacerated negro, and
| will write upon the sod that covers his re-
mains, REsURGAM, REsURGAM, REsURGAM, L
shall rise again"

MEssRs. EUlToRs The House of Rep
resenlatlves now meets at II o'clock. To-
day is Monday, and by a vote it has been set
apart as a day in which members shall be
privileged TO move to suspend the rules, by
doing which they may be permitted to intro
duce some favorite resolution or measure
10 suspend the rules requires either the
unanimous consent of the House, or a vote of
two-thlrds OF those present. Heretofore. mo-
tons TO suspend the rules have been in order
on any day the consequence of which was,
that at the commencement of almost every
days session, there would be several mo-
tons made of this kind, the ayes and noes
would be called, which generally takes about
one half OF an hour, and thus a good part of
the day was frequently consumed, STAYED off,
and no one could tell when any measure
would come before the House. To remedy
this evil, Monday is now set apart for the
special purpose of making these notions

and are made for Bunc0mc. Members who
do not expect that their measures will carry,
and indeed do not wish to have them, never
theless, in order that their names may figure

special zeal in some measure popular with
their constituents, will get up a resolution,
and move that the rules may be suspended
that they may present it. They often do it,
and call the yeas and nays, in order to get
their political opponents 10 record their votes
against some motion which they think will
be popular with the country. One of the
motions made to-day by Charles J. Ingersoll,
was of this kind. 1t was to instruct the
committee of Ways and Means to consult
with the Secretary of the Treasury, and in
qulre into the expediency of reducing the du-
ties upon French goods, in order to help, as
he said, "he French an their struggle for Ii
berry :" Mr.. Holmes, of S. c., advocated
the measure, because, if we would do so,
France would reduce her duties upon our to-
bacco, and thus greatly benefit the South
MIR. Vlnton, Of Ohio, moved to amend the
resolution, so as 10 instruct the committee to
inquire simply what changes ought to be
made In The tariff Of '46. This was a $40
SER" and Mr.. Bailey, of Virginia, to get out
oil the difficulty, moved TO lay the resolution
on the table, which was carried, and thus
ended This humbug, or attempt to make Lo-
co capital out Of the French revolution.-
Charles J. ~lngersoll is a heavy sinner in the
business of humbugging.

GiddingS' Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, April 18th.

Mr.. GIDDINGS rose and asked the unan-
imous consent of the House to introduce a
resolution. [Cries of tread it, read it," and
''obiect ~
Mr.. MEADE rose and said he objected to
the reading of the resolution. Several vol
ces "Oh let it be read."]
The SPEAKER dressed the Clerk TO
abstain from reading the resolution until the
House came to order. He then desired gen.
tlemen to take their seats and order having
been restored, he said the Chair understood
that the gentleman from Va. (Mr. MEADE)
objected to the reading of the resolution
In strictness the reading of a resolution for
information might be objected to, but it had
been the uniform practice Of the House when
a gentleman asked for the reading of a reso-
luton to allow it 10 be read by general con-
sent for information merely. The Chair
knew no instance OF a refusal when the gene
raj consent was asked. If, however, the
gentleman from Virginia persisted in his OBJ
lection, the resolution would not be read.
Mr.. MEADE said if the resolution had no
relation to slavery he had no objection to the
reading, but he should object if it had.
A conversation ensued between several
members; and
Mr.. MEADE again rose, and said at the
suggestion of some of his friends he with
drew bis objection TO the reading.
The Clerk then read The resolution as fol-
lows:
Whereas more than eighty men, women,
and children are said TO be now confined in
the prison of the District of Columbia with
out being charged with crime, or of any i'm
propriety other than an attempt to enjoy that
liberty for which our fathers encountered toll
suffering, and death itself, and for which the
people of many European Governments are
now struggling.
And whereas said prison was erected, and
is now sustained by funds contributed by the
people of the free as well as of the slave
States, and is under the control of the laws
and officers of the United States
And whereas such practice is derogatory
to our national character, incompatible with
the duty OF a civilized and Christian people,
and unworthy of being sustained by an Amer
lean Congress Therefore
BE ii resolved, That a select committee oil
five members of this body be appointed to
inquire into and report TO this House by
what authority said prison is used for the
purpose of combining persons who have at
tempted to escape from slavery, with leave &c
report what Legislation is proper in regard tc
said practice.
Resulted further, That said committee be
authorized to send for persons and papers.

by Dear Friend-This morning our fami-
ly was aroused by the screams of a young
colored girl, who has been living with us
nearly a year past-but we were awakened
only in time to see her borne off by three
white men, %rufians indeed, to a carriage at
our door, and in an instant she was on her
way to the South. feel so much excited by

a duty to make it known, and | therefore

AS soon as the house was opened in the
morning, these men who were lurking with
out, having a carriage in waiting in the street,
entered on their horrid errand. They en-
countered no one in their entrance, except a
colored boy who was making a fire and who
being frightened at their approach ran and
hid himself; taking a lighted candle from
the kitchen, and carrying it up stairs, they
went directly to the chamber in which the
poor girl lay in a sound sleep. They lifted
her FROM her bed and carried her down stairs.
In the entry of the second floor they met one
of my sisters, who hearing an unusual noise,

WASHINGTON CITY, April II, 1913.


wrote you yesterday that there were de-
monstrations of a mob to destroy the office of
the National Era, and that DIR. Bailey had
sought protection from the police. He very
wisely put his office under the care of the ci-
ty government. In the course Of tho night,
a mob of about five hundred collected in front
of the office, determined to break into it and
destroy the press, type, &c. The Mayor of
the city was lying on his sick bed, and was
unable to be present. Only two of the city
police appeared, but Captain Goddard of the
Auxiliary Guard, "a body of men supported
by Congress to preserve the peace Of the CT
ty,) was there, and took his stand in the door
and declared that if any man entered he must
do it over his dead body. He addressed the
mob, and told them they were led on by
worthless s!ave-traders. This was the fact.
One of the owners of the slave-pen of the
district was there, urging the mob on to vlo-
lenee. There was also a clerk from the
Treasury Department engaged in it, as | am
told, and fortunately received a wound on the
head from a stone thrown by one of the mob.
About IL at night the mob dispersed, after
breaking several windows and after having
called a meeting at the City Hall for this eve
ming, the object of " hich is to call in assis-
lance from the country, organize, and COM
plete the work of destruction to night.
The crisis is come which is TO determine
whether the liberty of the press is to be main
tanned in this district, or whether it shall fall
beneath the tyranny of slavery.
Mr.. Seaton of the Intelligencer, and mayor
of the city, sent for Mr.. Bailey this morning,
and expressed a determination to do all in his
power to protect his property. The marines
OF the Navy Yard, under the command of
General Henderson, | understand are to be in

The D~owNINGTowN OUTRAGE.-This
dreadful act described so wildly by our friend
who was witness TO it, is one of the boldest
and most alarming assaults ever made upon
personal liberty and security in our State,
many and monstrous as they have been.-
Have we no safety and no means of protec-
ton from lawless kidnappers, in this nomi-
nally free State? Talk about security TO per-
son and liberty under our Constitutions and
laws! The words are a mockery They
but t~antalize and torture the nearer, with the
vision of peace, and rights, and enjoyments
never possessed. Tell us of our superiority
to the feudal ~vasaals who were our ancestors !!
Wherein does it consist, if we have no de-
fence from the invasion of our homes, and the
plumber of our households by ruthless ruff
fans; if innocent children may be dragged
from their beds at night, by armed burglars,
and carried off into slavery with impunity ?
Who among US is safe, when in the midst of
a thickly settled village, miles away from the
slave border, such deeds can be done? 1t
may well cause the most prompt and vigor-
Gus measures to be taken for our own protec-
ton, and 10 prevent the incursions of kidnap-
pers upon us. Who will ask now, what have
we to do with slavery? Not the people of
Downingtown or of Chester County surely;
nor Northern men who hear the tale of this
atrocity, if they have hearts of humanity, or
wisely value their W and their children's
liberties. We are informed that one of the
kidnappers was recognized as a notorious
slave-hunler from Maryland. We may also
state that friends from this city followed them
to Baltimore, where they learned that the
poor girl had been imprisoned, but previous
to their arrival had been carried to Virgin
ia. Means are in train to recover her if pos
sible.
