THE Pennsylvania LEGlSLA1


A"o1 4oS1ttCe tokUCe case IN iHgBGGebDhlH.
The first in Philadelphia under the Fugitive
Slave law occurred on Thursday. A negro named
Henry Garnett, bod carrier arrested as the slave
OF Thomas P. Jones, Of Cecil county, Md lie vas
brought before Judge Grier of the u S. Circuit Court
when alter some remarks from the Judge about his de-
termination to execntethe law as he funds it, the hear
ing OF the case was postponed till Friday morning
AT the opening of the Court, the Judge stated thas
the slave was charged with having absconded from his
master, to whom he held to labor for a term Of
years, to be lice at 3d. according to the will Of Marga-
ret Sanders, his former owner.
The will was produced and ruled out for want of for
mally Several witnesses testified but the testimony
to the identity was considered incomplete and the
plaintiff demanded time 10 adduce fuller proof
Judge Grler reiterated the views he delivered yeser
Gay 10 relation to attempted rescue and uriher said
mat he would Tor the purpose OF carrying out the
qurements OF the law send the President of tho
United States tori thousand troops if necessary; and
armed resistance should be offered he would execute the
law even it he should be compelled to walk through the
blood OF every colored IN this CITY, He said that
ayears' delay had already been had in retaining the
slave, and the Marshal was under great responsibility
and he did not feel disposed to add to his responsibility
ii ne could avoid it. He was disposed give justice
well to the master TO the slave; but the master muss
prove his to the very etterhe should have his
pound of fes h but no more.
After some further testimony, Judge Grier said the
law was plain, and the claimant had choice of his
tIne, and had failed to make parte case
lie thought he would therefore have refuse further
postpone ment of the case as the laws OF Pennsy Iva
MA forbid the OF as within the State Tor The purpose
OF securing slaves.
The Judge said, that as the claimant had failed to
make out his case the prisoner had right to his dis
charge, and should be accordingly discharged.
The prisoner received outside of the building
by his colored trends, who were most eXtravagant in
their shouts OF exultatlon. They bore him away in their
arms shouting at the Top OF their voices.

our merchants, and other citizens. &c q. Peyton
presided. Mr. Jos. R. Anderson explained the
action of the delegation to Wytheville. Colonel
Garnett delivered plain, but very Interesting
and effective address. Mr.. Benz. Rush Floyd fol-
lowed with great fervour and eloquence Nj.
mcfarland offered resolution deca ring that the
city afterwards changed to The citiaeaas) of Rich
mond ought to subscribe the sum of 100000 to
the stock of the Company, so soon as $4,000
shall have been subscribed by others, and as the
Company shall have given assurance that it will
make no determinations against Richmond in es-
tabshing its connection with any railroad below
Lynchburg. Mr. Lyons offered substitute to
the effect that the city, in its corporate capacity,
ought to subscribe 5000 900 to the Virginia and
Tennessee Company, on condition that they will
obtain an amendment of their charter for the pur-
pose of connecting their road with the Richmond
and Danville Railroad, in which the city
should further subscribe 100000 for the pur-
pose of making that connection, provided $780,

solution was then adopted unanimously. Mr..
