SIR
On the 10th Of December last, a petition,
signed by forty individuals, was presented
in the lower branch of the General Assembly
Of Ohio, asking that body 10 call a conven-
ton Of the people, to consult upon measures
for e~tlec,ing a speedy and p~eacabIe secession
from the Federal Union. The reasons they
assigned were briefly as follows:
|. Because the connection of Ohio with
the Southern States is voluntary, and that
while in union with slave States, it is, by
that connection, one of them.
.. Because the 1900, 900 of people in o.
hio, by continuing in the Union, throw the
shield Of their responsibility over 300, 600
shareholders, screening them from just re-
buke, and giving coun,enance 10 slavehold-
ing.
3. Because the people Of Ohio are bound
10 express their adherence Of slavery in the
strongest manner, and a refusal 10 hold po-
litical fellowship with the South would be a
testimony that would be felt.
4. because Ohio cannot remain in the u
Mon Il single hour, only as she pledges her.
self 10 give back the fugitive slave, and sup
press plantation Instructions
5. Because the Union was formed for the
express purpose Of keeping as slaves all who
were slaves-and that the Northern States
should help TO thus keep them. That these
being lis conditions now, the people OF Ohio
cannot remain partners in the Union withou
being Shareholders for s~laveowners.
6. Because had it not been for the UnioI
slavery would have long since been dead
that as Ohio is part of the Union she ha
helped 10 sustain slavery.
7. Because slavery is The sum of all villa
mics, and the people of Ohio cannot remain
in the Union without sanctioning and protect
ing the most helnous system of wickednes
that ever existed.
8. Because (for the above reasons,) Obi
never had a right to join the Union. Com
ing into it was a Mistake and a Crime, an
continuing in it is but a repetition Of tn
crime, increasing in magnitude as its charaC
ter becomes more fully revealed.
0. Because the Representatives Of Obi
cannot take their seats in Congress besid
Shareholders without recognizing such ty
rants as fit 10 make laws for Ohio freemen.
10. Because the Union, by nationalizin
slavery, has involved the people Of Ohio
the guilt and disgrace Of the system, lroI
which they cannot be relieved except by $
c~ession.

Western Anti Slavery Society.

The Seventh Annual Meeting of the

held at the Grove Meeting House or %vicini-
ty, two miles North-W West Of New Garden,
and eight miles South-W lest of Salem, on
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the
10Th, Goth, and 2lst of June, commencing at
10 o'clock, A. NJ.

which the Northern people make TO free them.
selves from the power of slavery, but shows
the hopelessness Of all efforts TO win the free
dom of the slave or to regain their own rights
so long as they own allegiance 10 the United
States Constitution.
Let then all whose eyes have been anoint
ed TO see the sinfulness Of sustaining thi:
pro-slavery government, assemble at New
Garden, and ~reiterate their testimony againsl
that "covenant with death and agrcemen
with hell let them rally 10 the support o
that movement whose existence is necessary
to preserve in its purity the anti-slavery faith
This is no time for lukewarmness or in
difference. Every human soul that hate:
slavery should now, if ever, speak OUT
The conflict is waxing hotter and hotter, ant
high above the sounds of the battle should bC
heard the noblest rallying cry Of the hosts O

Ii is expected that HENRY C. WRIGHT, 0
Philadelphia, and OLIVER JOHNSON, of Mas
sachusetts, will be present on the occasion
and it is hoped that other Eastern friend
will be there, TO participate in the proceed
ings. But whether or not we have aid ant
counsel from abroad, let each come prepared
to do his duty, and no anniversary ever hel,
in tho West, will exceed this in interest.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ItCinsJurg, June Isl, 1910.

DEAR EDIToRs:-
A %sojourn of some three years in the
southern, or slaveholding States, has taught
me not only to abhor the slave system as an
unholy institution, impoverishing the soil,
both of the earth and Of the human mind; but
it has likewise taught me that the territory
where slavery exists, would (if slavery did
not curse it,) afford, or present one of the
broadcast fields, and at the same time hold
out the greatest inducements for the enter
pricing agriculturist Of the North and West,
any where to be found between the two poles.
There is no country for which nature has
done more, there is no country for which art
has done less. 1t seems that the accursed
system has stretched its whitening, impover-
ishing arm over the most favored part of our
country. Nothing is more common than to
see ten or fifteen hund red acres, of excellent
land, laying in a state of nature, a bowling
wilderness, between the plantations of two
selfish Shareholders /; serving no other pur-
pose than as a temporary hiding place for
the poor black man trying to escape the
bloody lash, until traiIed out by The blood
hounds, the main dependence of the crue'
slave catcher.
But once abolish slavery, and the indus
trious and enterprizing from all parts of tn,
earth will rush in there. The now dense for
est where nothing is heard but the strangel,
intermingled singing Of birds, paintings 0
the responding fugitive, the baying of tn
fendish blood hounds, and the yelling 0
their no less iendish master (; will be cheere,
by the harvest song Of many a happy hus
bandman. Then our country would becom
what nature intended it should, and we as
people, be what God would have us be-.
Let US then persevere and hasten the gla
peTiod-tho slaves millennium.
Yours truly,
A.. ID. BLAKE.

An Illustration of SlaYCrY.

The following anecdote, related by a gen.
tleman who was himself an eyewitness, is
such a remarkable instance of heroic and UNI
shaken friendship, that | thought it worth
transcribing, lest it should he lost. II is
from DunIap's Paper, No. 20s1, Oct. 10th,
1885;
AT a late public sale of negro slaves al
Santa Cruz, among the great number that
Christian avarice has been either the imme-
date or secondary means of placing on a lev
ell with cattle daily brought 10 our markets,
there were two about thirty years of age,
whose department seemed superior to all the
rest. What their rank had really been, they,
with sullen dignity, seemed resolved TO con-
ceal from everybody /; yet, mingled with a
naughty manner towards all beside, there APP
peared in every look and action the tenderest
affection for each other. When the captain
of the vessel which brought them entered on
the business of distribution into lots for sale
of the captives, these two, with a most sub
missive manner, and eagerness that spoke
more than common feelings, chung about his
knees, intreating him 10 favor them so far as
to permit them 10 be sold in the same lot,
that they might serve the same master and
enjoy the trilling satisfaction of being COM
panions in Slavery. But this poor request
was denied them. Yet earnest as they were
in their desire, the refusal was received with
a manly resignation by them both, and when
upon the point of being delivered TO their
masters, they begged leave Of having a few
words with each other, which was allowed.
After a few moments talk and an aflectionate
embrace, they separated. About seven days
aG:er, they were both missing at the same
hour, and nowhere 10 be found. About a
week after their disappearance, a planter ri
ding through a thicket which laid between
their mutual homes, saw TO his great sur
prise two bodies hanging on one tree, locked
fast in each others arms, which proved to be
these faithful and desperate friends"

ITO show that the administration If at

towards the Locofoco subordinates in the

election. He boasted that when Mr.
McLane wrote on here that Washington

votes could be sent on to him, they re-

their expenses were paid to Baltimore

Baltimore, and that the party in this city

lie seen with them, as he was Known
and that the cause Of this visit would be
suspected and they would all lose their
places This minion of corruption re-
marked to my informant, that he had
been too long in such business not to
know how to obviate that difficulty, and
as most of these Locofoco clerks had
wives, he called upon them, who, well
understanding the condition upon which
the official heads of their husbands had
been retained upon their shoulders in
times past, aud fearing the consequences
OF a refusal. subscribed the sum in their
own uames that he required of each, aud
in this way he raised all he wanted and
sent off the 100 McLane voters to Balli-

every % pounds Col Fremont informed
me that the vein had been traced for
more than mile. The thickness on the
surface is two feet, gradually widening
as it descendS, aud showing larger par
.icles of gold. The dip downwari Is only
about 81 degrees, SO that the mine can
be worked with l'tlle expense. These
are the particulars first gwen me, when
the discovery was first announced. Still
more astonishing facts have just come TO
light.
A geologist sent oGt to examine the
place, arrived here last night. lie re-
ports having traced the vein distance
of two leagues, with an average breadth
Of $50 feet. AT one extremity ol the
mine he found large quantities ot native
silver, which he calculates will fully pay
the expense of setting machinery and
working it, The rancho upon which II
is situated was purchased hy Colonei

Governor of the territory. 1t was then
considered nearly worthless. and Col +.

country, because disappointed i'll obtain

has made great sensation throughout
