with all possible dispatch.
All this is very modest, TO say the least, and we
think will do something towards securing those
"Southern rights which have been grossly in

SLAVERY IN INDIANA.-A correspondent of the
Cen,reville free soil True Democrat, writing from
Indanapo under date of Jan. 49, thus speaks of
Mr. Higgins Lanes attempt 10 establish slavery in
Indiana
Lane of Putnam, rabid Taylor Wing, who pro-
fesses be anti-slavery yesterday introduced
into the House most infamous bill, in relation 10
colorcd person coming into the State the following
synopsis of which is iven in to-days State Sentinel:
"By Mr. Lane bill concerning free negroes muattoes,
and savespovdny that coloed persons shall
hereafter 5e permitted make residence in this State,
less h. or she shall give bond and security penalty
one dollars that he she will not become coOn-
ty charge &c-and failure TO give bond shall be hired
removed beyond the limits Of the couniy and any
complied with the law by giving security as aforesaid
shall lie fined FIVE dollars fuI every such offence"
This bill, it will be observed, Is infinitely worse
than The present bond and security law, as it doubles
the amount Of security required. The bill came up
it's second reading to-day. and was indefinitely
postponed by vote of AZ to 49, What great friends
to the colored man these Taylor Wings are!
This writer evidently does not believe that Lane is
little cracked in the upper story"

have lately been mentioned in the public prints, which
tend throw still greater doubt around the OF

very strange, however, that these folks are long
finding all this out. The Boston Traveller also states
that an anonymous letter has been received from
Philadelphia, charging that person in that city il
the murderer; but investigation satisfied the author

letter was also lately received at the N Orlean:

1t was written upon course dirty paper, in an litter

postmarked Washington, Texas. The evidence taker

is understood, when the mystery in which this horr
bic affair is shrouded may be unveiled.
