Gpopop THoNfsoS will deliver a course Of
ave lectures in Boston upon British India.
The Elyyia Courier speaks in high terms Of
Nrs. Joncs's lectures in that place, where, We
understand, she had a large class.
At the recent Anniversary of the Pcnnsyl-
vsnia Anti-slavery Society there wos paid in
cash 1885. so, and the sum of 1922. so was
pledged to be paid during the year.
II is reported that three Pcnnsylvanians were
arrested at Baltimore on the 10th, charged with
reising runaway negroes while in the custody
Of officers bringing them back to Maryland.
Eleyen Of the sixteen democratic members
Of Congress, and fourteen Of the eighteen
Wings, just elected in New York, are said to
be in favor of the repeal of the Fugitive Law.
Judge Grier, to whose letter in defence OF
tho man. hunting law we have elsewhere refer
red, is said by the Pennsylvania Freeman to be
"a devout Presbyterian Elder 1t takes piety
Of that stripe to support such law.
A large ship-owner in Bath, Me-, said re-
Gently that the South might burn his ships be-
fore no would assent to the Fugitive Law. The
man is infected, we fear, with the Higher
Law heresy.
The Boston Fugitive Case has caused great
excitement in Georgia, as the slaves (William
ard Ellen Crafts) were from that State. The
Disunionists for Slavery threaten awfully, and
the Union men find it hprd to stem the tide.
The papers state that application was made
to all the Judges Of Detroit for writ OF habe-
a. corpus during the pendency of the recent
slave case in that city, but without success.
The Buffalo Express says that person in the
pursuit of fugitive slaves met colored woman
in the streets Of that city, and began to ques-
ton her concerning her claim TO freedom. As
his inquiries became pressing, she drew re-
volver, which caused his retreat. The same
paper states that most of the fugitive slaves in
that city are armed.
NosRs A. CAnTLAND, Frccsoil Orthodox
Quaker, has been nominated TO succeed Mr..
Tuck, member of Congress from the Dover
District in New Hampshire. lie is fine schol-
ar and writer, and an abolitionist of long stand
ing. There's no dough about him, and We hope
he may be elected rather than the Cass Hunk
er who will doubtless run against him.
WILLIAM AND ELLEN CRAFTS, says the Sa-
lem (Mass.) Freeman, were married few days
since in Boston by Theodore Parker. They had
been married in slavery, but marriage amongst
the slaves being a mere farce in most cases, it
was thought best to have the relation duly le
galiEcdin Massachusetts,. The fugitives have
called for England, to enjoy the security of lib
erty In country whose air." in the words of
Lord Mansfield, "is too pure for a slave to
breathe"
The pcnny-a- liner, who does the Now York
correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette, tries
hard to bo witty over the imposition practiced
upon the abolitionists by black loafer, who
passed himself off for fugitive slave and thus
obtained money enough to support himself du-
ring the winter. Why, bless, you man, that is
nothing to the exploit of another dark colorcd
man, who lately raised $4,000 among the Cot
ton dealers of Gotham upon the pretencc that
he had stopped the anti ti-slavery agitation
ELIAS Smith, an old anti-slavcry friend of
ours who went to California, writes in rather
dolcful strain to the Tribune. lie says that
$4,000 persons are congrcgated at Nevada City
and vicinity of Yuba and Deer Creek diggings
that not half are doing anything, and Of the
other half a moicty only, are paying their way
that most of this large number have no means
to enable them to move away. All who pos
sess the means are quitting these diggings and
making their way homeward. The sole ambi-
ton of every one is to acquire money enough
to get home.
The Chronotype asserts positively "that
certain great lawyer has lately received forty
thousand dollars from his political clients in
New York city. The one hundred thousand
dollars not long since settled upon his wife by
the cotton interest of Boston, it seems was not
money enough. To complete the thing he
should now receive contribution from the
planters of the South" The lawyers name is
supposed to be Daniel Webster. Now that
the political Judas has got his silver, he ought,
like his infamous prototype, to 60 out and hang
himself
Judge Grier of Philadelphia, in letter to
Charles Gibbons in support of the man-hunt-
ing law, says he is happy to know that his
