New Decision-Riot at Harris
burg.

The Telegraph brings the result of trial
held at Harrisburg, on Friday last in which the
defendants were fugitive slaves accused OF
horse stealing in Virginia. Should the decision
of the Judge gain authority as good prece-
dent the slave-catchers will find themselves be-
set with new and unforeseen difficulties in re-
capturing runaways. There only redress will
be, as in this case, to disregard judicial decis-
ions, and resort to pistols and handouts to es-
tablish the divine rights of Slavery,--as in this
case also probably not unfrequently with doubt
fuI result. The statement is as follows:
The Court which was occupied during yes
terday hearing testimony on the habeas corpus
of the negroes charged with stealing horses in
Virginia, rendered their decision this incoming.
1t appears that the Negroes were slaves and
had stolen horses to escape with. The Court
decided that the slave who steals horse TO es-
cape commits no crme--no criminal offence
The prisoners were thereupon ordered to be dis
charged.
About dozen men from Winchester Va,
assembled at the prison door and attempted to
seize and handcutf the slave on their cotnming
out. A great crowd of whites and free blacks
also assembled, and a general riot immediately
commenced, One slave effected his escape
amidst shower of stones and clubs-the Other
two, their masters, with assistants, succeeded
despite all resistance, in Handwriting. Severa
negroes were stabbed, others wounded. The
owners of the slaves were slightly hurt.
The Court Immediately issued warrrnts q
gainst the owners and all engaged for assault
and battery with intent to incite riot.
The slaves and masters are now in Jail, and

MIR. Henry Morgan.

This young lnan, who, unlike large portion
of Temperance lecturers, goes about lecturing
without levying contributions for his support, g.
whose benevolent labors among the inmates of
iails, poJr-houses and State Prisons have eaaned
him SO extended and just reputation for good
ness, lectured here on Sunday evening to an at
tentive audience. He is well qualified for his
work, and has an earnest, sincere and fofcible
manner which commands his appeals to the hearts
of his hearers. We wish him abundant success
in his career of ubostentatious benevolence, and
invoke for him the good Offices ofour brethren of
the press, in whose vicinity he may chance to
be.-Bmtington Courier.
Mr.. Morgan is now lecturng in this place, &,

RESULTS OF TEE ELECTION.

Williams, and the rest of the whig State tick.
ct, are elected by about 500 majority. Peck
has not come up to Needham last year, by more
than 1000 Nor has Williams received so large
vote as his predecessor, Coolidge, by between
one and two thousand. The old line democratic
ticket has increased about 1900.
In the Legislature the wing strength it is
pretty well ascerained, will be less than last
year, unless, as it is to be feared, the wings and
the old liuers, of whom there is nerease,both
in the Senate and house, should coalesse. The
returns thus far received of which we give as
full list as we could obtain forthis paper, show
116 wings, and 90 opposition, while the towns
to be heard from, sent last year 10 wings and 6
opposition. There will doubtless be about 30
wing majority in the House, but one less, prob
ably, in the Senate, than last year.
Free Democratic Senators and County Off
GERS are elected in the Counties Of Washington
Orange and Caledonia, throughout. These
Counties have endeaqored, we believe, to live
up faithfully to the princip les on which the I'M
ion of 1919 was formed, and the results have
told accordingly. This shows whal might have
been this year effected, had the other counties
done likewise, instead of lowering the free soil
standard, as we fear some of them have done,
and yielding to the dictates ofsupposed eXpedi-
ency, with the object of PROSECUTING from rIR old
liners Mistaken policy! Whenwll politicians
4Lo To y,la hof
party management!
With regard to the failure Of Mr.. Peck to OBJ
tain as many votes as Mr.. NeedhaIn, it sto be
accounted for in any other way, we believe, than
by any decrease of free soil principles. Mr.
Peck was comparatively new man in the free
soil organization, and he has not, evidently, re
ceived the full vote of all reckoned in that Or.
ganzation, except in the counties where he was
best known; while his opponent, besides being
known to the whole State as a strong and able
man, has ever been very decided anti-slavery
the votes of many of the old liberty men, whose
candidate he once was, and who did not view
as the rest of us did, the Importance of acting
under our present organization.
Thus it will be seen, as we were well aware
from the first, that we went into the campaign
this year, under many disadvantages, and thu
result, therefore, as regards our State ticket
should neither disappont or discourage US. o.
the contrary, the Inc reuse of oer representation
among which, we think there will be found
greater number of staunch free sellers than wert
ever before in the Legisaturo-the triumphan
election of Mr. Bartlett, and the success of thost
counties that were true to the union, all go t.
show an increase of free principles in the State
which should encourage all who truly entertain
them, TO persevere.

states 80 per cent. to be a common rate III Con
stantinope. Most of the United States nave
laws of a restrictive character respecting the
interest of money. In New York, the highest
LEGAL rate is 7 per cent. In Massachusetts and
the other New England States, II IS per cent
Tn nractice. however, as all know, the law oil
interest is nearly dead letter among us, except
as TO cases in which 10 rate is stipulated. In
Wisconsin a law has just been passed freeing
interest from the usual limitation. Both branch
es of the Legislature have, by decided MAORI
ties, enacted as follows:
"Sect. |. Any rate Of interest agreed upon by
parties in contract shall be legal and Valid
Sect. 2. When no rate of interest is agreed up
on or specified in note or other contract 7por
cent, per annum shall be the legal rate"
From letter from the Hon. w. w. Wick,
late member of Congress from Indiana, we
learn that the usury laws having been repealed
in that State, their establishment was called
for BY an irresistible public opinion. The first
step was to fix the rate Of interest at 6 per
cent, and to sanction contracts for 10 per cent
in two or three years the taking Of more than
per cent. was prohibited "Fhe moral desola-
ton" says Mr.. Wick, created by the absence
of usury laws, will tell upon any community to
an extent almost infinitely beyond the mere ru-
in of estate"
We think the above statement is not fact
that the law of interest is nearly a dead letter.
1t is, on the contrary, generally observed, ex-
cept in such places as Wall ST., New York, and
Third St., Philadelp hia.-Sdt. Evenjng POSI-,

The Texas Boundary, or Compro-
mise Bill,

W
mise Bill.
The results of Northern treason are at length
fully developed. The Texas Boundary bill pass
ed the House last Friday, by vote of 107 to 81,
and now, we suppose, only awaits the signature
ofthe president, to become law. Some of the
free, OF liberal presses, we see, indulge the hope
that Mr.. Fillmore will veto this act of national
swlndlng consummated as an offering to the ra-
paclous slave power of the South. Veto it, Not
he He will sign it as soon as he can get pen
to 1T. Why, he =hp-don moro than any other
man on earth, probably, to,bring about this dis
graceful RESULT 1t has been, as thousand
instances haVei conspired to show, the adopted
and favorite measure of the administration since
the death of Gen. Taylor, who was understood
to be in the way of the passage of the omni-
bus.
Conscious that the country knew this, and
prrcevlng also, that ithad become odious to the
great majority of the nation, the new President
and his previously pledged Premier, thought it
policy that it should be rejected, in tho shape it
then stood, and every feature of any interest to
the slayocracy, re-int'oduced and passed sepa.
rately. We prophecied this in our paper some
weeks ago, and now the fulflment of the predic.
ton is before us.
Thus the slave power, by the aid of Northern
treason, has once more triumphed; but never
before ina manner that brought SO foul blot on
our national escutcheon.
Well may we say, in the language of the pure
and patriotic departed statesman, whose precepts
and principles have been so much spurned and
violated,

WASHINGTON County,

Our County, though always a sad troubler to
the wing domination of Vermont, has this year
left them less comfort than ever There are but
two wing representatives elected out ofth whole
IS towns and they can only count three by in
GLIDING the staunch old line democrat of Barre
as one of them. If they are willing to reckon
him, with his pure locofocoism, as a good wing,
then they will have three, and we shall better
know what to call wings hereafter.
Washington County has indeed done nobly.-
Had others done as well, the State had been re-
deemed.

Coming TO thetr Senses.

1t is well known that quite number of the
most influential papers in the city Of New York,
have heretofore sided with the South, and de-
nounced every movement in favor OF freedom at
the North. Among these has been the Courier
and Inquirer. AS bitter, however, as that pa
per has been, it begins now, it would seem to
get its eyes open little to the dangers, to our
common liberties, to which its pfeachings have
been tending, as the following from late num-
Der will show, which, considering its source is
certainly favorable omen. Ed.
ave will not be conteut with anything short
ri an absolute recognition OF the nights of the
slave States, and the most peremtory guarantee
of their exercise against all agitation, whether
by petition, speeches in and out of Congress
Sunday schools celebrations, or newspaper par
agraphs.
"In fine, the keeping of the southern States
| free from any agitation, whether legislative o
popular tending to impair rights, by destroying
their safe guards, is pledge OF The Consttu
ton and treaty of the characterization
.NercS.
If this were true, our national prospect
would be dark, indeed. If the Union can b'
preserved only such terms, its doom is scaled
for the condition is a moral impossiblIity. NJ
earthly power can 'peremptenaly guaranty IL
this country the question of slavery or any othe
question against all agitation" Liberty o
speech is the most valued of all America
bidhrghs, and every subject in the heaven
above, in the earth beneath, or in the water
under the earth. that Americans choose to dis
cuss, they will discuss The ''peculinr institu
ton" in this respect can enjoy no peculiar In
munity. The spirit of inquiry which does ne
spare even the most cacred things will assured
" not spare an object which is anything els
than sacred. American slavery must not expet
to find its security in silence. 1t must stan
discussion, whether it can bear it or not. A
long as this institution exists, so long will me
think Of it, and write of it, snd talk of it,
