ding Locofoco journals speak Of his refusing
10 surrender fugitive SidUes to their masters.
We should be ashamed to attempt to justify
an act, which is in itself absolutely and un-
deniably just and right in itself; an act which
IL applauded, too, by men OF all parties in
this section Of the State.
Gov. Ford is on the right track, and We
say to the doughfnce editor Of the Empire,
and his slaveholding, man.stealing allies,
that his conduct in this matter will need no
'pettifogging" TO make i, agreeable 10 The
feelings and sentiments OF the people of
Ohio. We trust that no serious difficulty
will grow out Of this unpleasant affair" o,
TERRIBLE! The only unpleasant feature OF
the Transaction is the fact that there was no
mole than one running chattel' shielded
from the slave-catcher's grasp by Governor
Ford's humane interposition. A slave takes
up his line Of march for the North star-vo.
l%unteers TO train in the Freemsn's company,
and a grave and dignifed slaveholding Co
vernon charges him with grand larceny for
stealing his body, and with petit larceny for
stealing the few rags that hardly cover his
back Gov. Ford Is a disgrace to the State
because he does not recognize the existence
of property in man oh, for shame =

From the Independent Democrat.
DOughfacedOm in Wisconsin.

Our readers will recollect how narrow
ly the friends of Free Soil escaped being
defeated in the last night of the late ses-
sion Of Congress, by the adoption of Wal
ker's amendment 10 the General Appro-
priation bill. This Walker is a Senator
from Wisconsin, and had just been re-
elected for six years from the 4lh Of
March, on the strength of the most un.
reserved pledges in favor of freedom
In addition to these, he was instructed
by the Legislature which elected him, to
oppose by every constitutional means in
his power, the organization of any gov
eminent in California and New Mexico
without an cypress clause TO prohibit the
existence of Slavery therein. In viola
ton, however, of his pledges and the in
structions of his constituents, all his ef-
forts were directed against the freedom
of the territories and in favor Of Slavery.
The record of this treachery of their SEN
ator, reaching Wisconsin before the ad-
%journment Of the Legislature, resolutions
were promptly introduced, which, after q
spicy debate in which the traitor 10 free
dom had no defender. were passed, de-
nouncing in strong terms his treachery,
and in%structing him to resign his seat
forthwith. Here are the resolutions =

coast of Western Africa, &c the end of
The past year, by which we learn that the
traffic in human flesh was very much in
creased. The past season on the north
ern part Of the coast, and at the Gallinas
especially, the utmost activity and sue
cess prevailed. The prizes taken of late
are three vessels by the Sea Lark, empty,
but fitted up for the trade of Shaving -
six by the Bonetta b%rigan,ine one by
the Dolphin, with $50 slaves, in the
Blight Of Benin one by the flag ship
Penelope, one by the Amphitrite, and one
by the Pan,aloon under American colors;
The FREELY had taken one and the Pluto
one. The most successful vessel on the
coast is the Graplcr, a small steamer OF
eco horse power, whose leetness has en-.
abled her TO accomplish what other cruz
sers have failed in-ihe overhaul and
capture of the suspected vessel. She has
made a score Of prizes since she has been
on the coast, and in them upwards of
5000 ironed and herring packed Africans.
The Pluto's prize made a desperate re-
~sistance, and but for the assistance given
her by the Rapid, would have made sad
havoc with her captors in the night as
il was, she contrived to put herself
aground, where the Pluto was compelled
TO burn her after measurement. A sub
sequent prize was made by the Pluto, in
charge of Lieut.. Crowder Of the Rapid,

err this capture had between $50 and

news is received, the slave trade is in
fa!l swing, and more vigorously carried
on than it has been at any previous time
since the establishment Of the blockade.

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING
OF THE
American Anti-Slavery Society,

The FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY Of the AMER.
IcAN ANTI-SLAvERY Society will be held in
the Tabernacle, Broadway, New. York, on
Tuesday, the 9Th day of May next.
The Annual Meeting Of the American So
cieiy is the most important anti-slavery meet
ing held any where during the year.
The Anniversary at the Tabernacle repre-
sents to the country at large the progress,
the efficiency, and even the existence, of the
Anti Slavery cause. 1t is to vast numbers of
people, the only sign of the continued zeal
and spirit of the Abolitionists, whose local
meetings they never hear of.
Tn Business Meetings of the Society
have always brought together in counsel a
large number of Abolitionists from various
parts of the Northern States than is ever con-
vened on any other occasion. The general
interests of the cause command, at that time,
a consideration which al no other can be
given them.
1t has never, since the formation of the
Society, been more apparent than at this
moment, that the Anii-Slavery cause is left
where it ever has been, in the hands of the
members of the American Society. There
is as yet no reason 10 suppose that Slavery
will ever be abolished, except through its ef.
forts.
The general importance Of the annual
meeting, and the aspect Of the cause al this
moment, which gives us every thing 10 hope
for if we Persevere-every thing to fear il
we falter-appeal alike loudly 10 Abolition
lists, all over the LAND, to make the ensuing
Annual Meeting of the American Anti.Slave'
~ Society one that shall do more even thar
any previous one has done TO drive the Soutt

of society, and the North to a more deter

The people OF Wisconsin seem dis
posed to take the bull Of intemPerance
right by the horns, if we may judge from
a bill reported TO the Senate by Mr.. Gard

shall hereafter be allowed 10 vend or re-

given bonds TO pay all damages The com.

such traffic ; 10 support all paupers, Wild

Sibblich, the Pirate.

Antonio Sibblich, convicted Of the muir.
der of James Chapel, and piracy on
board the ship ST. Louis, on her passage
from Vera Cruz TO this city, is now an id.
lot, in the parish prison. His mental fac
ullies have been gradually exiinguished,
since sentence was passed upon him.
He is a man Of extraordinary physical
powers, and during the earlier part of his
Imprisonment, often displayed his Hercu.
lean strength, in raising from the ground
the largest of his iel!ow.prisoners merely
with the hold Of his teeth on a handker.
chief encircling the body. While in the
possession of mind he was occasionally
somewhat violent, and his great strength
made him an object of dread; but, since
becoming demented, he is as harmless
and innofensive as an infant. His sen,
tence is to be executed on the 9Th of this
month. As he has been found guilty o.
piracy as we'll as murder he will be hung
we understand, on the river, from a boa
or vessel Of some description. A revol.
ting spectacle will il be-society aven
ging itself on an idiot.-New Orlean,

Another Victim Sacrificed.

Richard Gillingham, a young man of Del
aware Co., Ohio, was taught to believe that
he who loved God would manifest it by low
ing his fellow man, that he would seek to
comfort him who was afflicted, would SYM
paIhize with the oppressed, and deliver him
that was spoiled from the hands Of the spoil
er. The fugitive slave always found ia him
a ready friend and when he listened 10 the
tales of sorrow related by tie wanderers from
the South-when they spoke OF the near and
dear relatives whom they left in the prison.
house, his soul was moved within him, and
often he was the means Of re-uniting those
whom slavery had sundeTed, and on his mis-
sions of mercy visited The slave quarters in
Alabama. In December last, he went 10
Nashville, Tenn, on one of his benevolent
errands, and on his return with two slaves
in a hired hack, was arrested when crossing
the Cumberland river, and thrown into pris-
on. Two indictments for slave abduction
were found against him, The penalty for
which is from three 10 ten years. imprison-
ment for each offence. As he plead guilty on
one of the indictments, the Prosecuting At
torney declined pressing the other and the
prisoner was sentenced to three years i'm
p%risonment in the Penitentiary. Considera-
BILE sympathy was manifested in his behalf,
which, together with the efforts of his coun-
sci, induced the judge to make his sentence
as light as the law would permit.

A GEM-BY SHAKESPEARE.

Z" The quality of mercy is not strained;
1t droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven,
Upon the place beneath it is twice blessed;
1t blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.
IT'S mIghtiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown.
His sceptre show the force of temporal power;
The attribute in awe and majesty, r r.- T.
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptered sway,
1t is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
1t is an attribute of God himself,
And earthly power doth then show Iikest Gods
When mercy seasons justice.
