THE ANT1-SLAVERY BUGLE.

Two other witnesses were examiued, but
no material facts were disclosed.
John w. jones' was called as a witness,
but objected TO by Mr.. Brown, on the ground
of his heing party in interest--he being q
son of the late Benedict Jones.
Mr.. Tener asked the court to allow the
claimant until this morning, for the purpose
of having his documents properly atiested,
aud the case brought before the court IN ac-
cordauce with the rules laid down in the law.
Mr. Brown strongly opposed this motion,
conteDdiug that MS the law was n stringent
one, the giving of every advantage to the
claimant would be n inonstrous perversion of
justice. The party hnd had ample time to
prepare his case, aud having began errone-
ously, the prisoner ought not to he kept in
custody until MIR. Jones can make up the de-
ficiency of his case, The precedent would
be n bad one, aud followed by all in subor-
dinate positions who act for the Court be-
sides, one side wns just as much entitled to
Il postpOnemeut as the other, and in the mean
time the prisoner would be deprived of the
most estmable of all things-his liberty.
The Court decided against any further ex-
tension of time. Even an erparte case had
not been made out, aud MS the Legislature of
the State has forbidden the use of jails in
the Commonwealth for securing fugitive
slaves, the prisoner was ordered TO be dis
charged.
IN the course of the hearing, Judge Grier
stated that he had preferred that the case
should come before the Court instead of n
United States Commissioner, SO that the
practice should he established, and the pro-
ceedings IN future cases he conducted regu-
larly. He deprecated that unlawful means
had been proposed at meetings Of the pro-
lcssed friends of the colored people, and in
various newspaper articles, to resiss the en-
forcing of the Law of Congress. lie ex-
pressed his determination to put down such
n spirit upon the first outbreak and sustain
the law, # Il becume necessary, by the en-
ployment of large armed force. The re-
qnrements of the law would be Carried into
effect at all events, aud IL the exigency of
the case demanded it, he would even send
TO the President of the United States for
thousand troops.
The entire proceedings before The Court
were conducted with great propriety. Poop
er police regulations had been made at the
instance OF the presiding Judge. The crowd
OF colored persons that had been attracted
to the place were prevented from entering
the Courtroom, and the officers outside bus-
led themselves in keeping the street aud av-
enues OF the buildings clear The excite
ment among the crowd was intense, but il
exhibited itself in 10 act of indecoril,I, until
the discharge of Garnet wns announced, when
the most bOistrous cheering followed. He
was received by his friends with the most
extravngnnt tokens of joy, and was borne of
the ground with incredible speed. So ended
the first case brought IN this city under the
new Fugitive Slave Law OF the United
Suites.

A word from ]. R. Glddings.
Chicago, Oct. IL, 1850.

Mr. Giddings, IN recent address to his
constituents, says:
Thus, fellow-ciiizens, you and are liable,
Mt any hour, to be called on to pursue the fly
ing boudman as he hustens towards land
of freedom. We have become nation of
slave-hunters and slave-caichers.
The man who shall seize u slave upon the
African const, is by our law consigned to the
gallows, and deemed unworthy of an exist
ance among civilized or even barbarous peo-
pie but how much greater must be the
guilt of him who seizes the enlightened aud
intelligent Christian, one who holds the same
religion, and trusts in the same salvation as
himself, and riveting the cold iron upon his
trembling limbs, sends him back to bondage
and to suffering?
We know that the benighted African is
unconscious of his rights, aud incapable of
approaching his degradation; yet we hang
the man who arrests and consigns him to
slavery. This we regard us Just. But what
penalty can bc regarded ns commensurate
with the crime of seiziug our lellow-mun
whose mind has been enlightened, who
knows the rights with which God has en-
dowed him, who comprehends the crime
which is committed against him, and of
sending him back to land of chains and
whips aud suffering? IL my opinion, such
crime far trunscends that of the ordinary
pirate. Indeed, think the thief or the pi-
rate far more entitled to our friendships,
than he who under any circumstances, will
lend himself TO the commission of the
crimes which this luw requires US to perpe-
trute,
am not one of those who believe that
this law, enacted by shareholders and by
traitors 10 freedom, will justify me before
the Omniscient Judge, for consigning one OF
his intelligent beings to life OF suffering
aud degradation.
The history of civilized legislation during
the 18th century, furnishes no parallel to this
atrocious law. There is no lower depth of
degradation TO which Congress can consign
the people Of the Free Suites. The remedy
is alone with the people. In order to sootho
the feeling of the North, aud to reconcile us
TO this deep disgrace, bill was Introduced
into the Senate, and las passed That body,
entitled, a Bill to Abolish the Slave-Trade
in the District of Columbia The title is de-
ceptive; the only effect contemplated by the
Bill is the exclusion of the slave breeders of
Maryland from the Washington slave market
1t processes TO give no relief whatever to the
people who now are or who may hereafter
be held in slavery within the District of Co
lumbia. IL leaves them liable to sale and
transfer as heretofore. The baracoons of
Washington nre not prohibited by this bill,
nor is single individual TO lie saved by il
from the horrors OF that traffic which has SO
long disgraced our nation. These matters
have constituted the subjects of discussion

Congress. They have occupied almost its

Fugitive Slave Case.
J. r. GIDDlNGS.

On Tuesday last, Mr. Uriah Hinch from
Mo-, appeared in this city in pursuit of sew
eral fugltiyes who had recently escaped from
that state, and had been tracked 10 Quincy,
Adams Co. Being himself volunteer and
not personally acquainted with the fugiiives,
he brought with him es AN assistant, Il trusty
slave, for the purpose Of aiding in arresting
and identifying the runaways. Upon reach
ing Quincy, it was ascertained TINT the fiigi-
uves had gone north, whereupon Mr.. IIinch
pursued on without getting again upon their
trail, TO this city. Arriving here, he openly
displayed his handbiIls, describing three
colored persons, and proceeded to make in
quiry for their whereabouts. This had no
sooner become known, than he was waited
upon by some of our respectable citizens,
and kindly Informed that he wns employed
in an enterprise full of personal hazard. In
the mean time the colored man who had
come on as an assistant found al opportu-
nifty TO escape on board steamer in the har-
Dor, and sailed for the dominions of the
Queen the same evening. Mr.. Hinch upon
learning this fact, which he did Immediately,
aud, upon receiving intimations that a coat of
tar and feathers was being prepared for his
use, IN alarm repaired to Justice Lowe for
protection. Mr. Lowe told him he could do
nothing for him but referred him to ali anti
slavery lawyer near by Upon being appli-
ed to, this gentleman recommended as the
only safe course, an immediate flight, where
upon the Southern gentleman decamped,
doubtless congratulating his stars, that he
had escaped with whole skin.
Upon the very next day, the GIgitives,
three in number, appeared in the city, and
as we are informed, took passage East
ward.
Il IL proper 10 add thnt our colored popu-
lailon are fully prepared for any emergency.
WhIie they do not propose to commit any
violence unless driven to the wall, they will
not suffer the new law to be executed upon
their persons. In resisting this even TO
death, they will be sustained BY the omnipo-
tent sentiment Of tho citizens Of Chicago.

Further Discovery in the Solar System.

A circular from Professor Schumacher. of
Atom, received by the editor of the Astro-
nomicul Journal, "announces the discovery
of a planet, on the 18th September, by MI.
Hind, at Mr.. Bishops Observatory, London."
Announcements of this kind lntlerly, from
the frequency of their occurrence, have lost
part Of the interest they possessed a few
years ago but, as AN evidence of the ads
vance in this department of science and
thus Of the progress of science generally,
they must still be regarded by many with
feelings of no pleasure. From the dscoves

that our Solar System, as at present known,
consists of twenty primary, and the same
number of secondary planets or moons.

slavery and the Slave Trade.


As moral verdict egainst this foul traffic,
tlle passage OF the Bill abolslng the slave
traue III the District by Congress Is signih
cant aud noteworthy; but as to its causing
any dininuiion in the snle and transfer Of
slaves, III that particular section of tIe coun-
try, we do not believe II will have any poten-
cy. 1t remains to he seen whether the slave
ttufflcers IN the District will give any heed to
the law whether II Is not designed merely
MS tub thrown out to the Northern whale;
whether It's tendency will not be to give
longer lease TO the existence OF slnvery in
the District by the removal OF peculiarly
odious adjunct of the system: and whether
IL was not adopted for the purpose of hidipg
the shame of the milton, rather than in the
spirit of repentance. Indeed, it is absurd to
think of contrition being the motive that has
led to the suppression Of this traffic; for d
more hardened Congress has never been con-

The Secretary Of State and COlorcd Walters.

Mr.. Webster's question, when he was last
in straits, was "where shall ! go?" 1t
seems likely 10 he now, IN tic new aud tight
place into which he has been squeezed him
nseii, 'whnt shall 1 eat?' We are trenching
Upon tlic province OF our Boston Correspon-
dent IN telling story of one Of his parish,
but this one will not keep till his next letter.
Mr.. Webster, IL seems, is mt homo at his
place at Marshfield, where, n few days since,
he proposed TO give dinner party to certain
distinguished persons, among them the we'll
known colored gentleman who has recently
arrived here as Ambassador from Consun-
tinople. The Secretary, of course, wished
10 engage the best assistance for such an
occasion, and sent accordingly for Mr. ]. Is.
Smith, Of Boston, TO act rs chef without
whom, NJ all Massachusetts knows, n disiin-
guished party is altogether impossible, aud
who is, IN his way, quite as great man as
the Godliko himself; and with this ndvan-
tage, moreover over him, we will venture to
say, that he never spills his fat into the fire.
But il had not occurred to Mr.. Webster that,
though he might approve of MIR. Smith, Mr..
Smith might not approve of him. There
are other duties beside Constitutional duties
which may he agreeable or disagreeabe, as
the case may be, and this was one wherein
MIR. Smith chose 10 exercise his discretion.
lie had been MIR. Webster's constituent-that
he could not help. II was quite at his own
option whether he would he the Secretary's
cook. lie accordingly declined the invita-
sion TO Marshfeld; we might say respectfully
declined, were we not, as an impartial
chrouicler compelled TO acknowledge that,
TO far from that being the case, his reply was
that he would rather see the honorable gen.
tleman in place which we are not in the
habit of mentioning, bur which the heat TO
which MIR. Smith is accustomed probably
suggested TO him as the most uncomfortable
one that could possibly be thought Of
Whether Mr.. Webster ever gave his din
ner or not, we have not learned. But tho
story says further, that he was equally unslic-
cessful in other applications, in his need, to
other persons of Mr.. Smiths profession, who
were all quite agreed in their estimate of the
great mans relations TO The colored people of
Massachusetts. We, indeed, heard that ono
person consented to go, but only on condi-
iion that he should not be restricted in the

we will not vouch.-.4. S. Standard.

THE SLAVE CATcHERs IN HARrFoRp.-
We said last week, that they were here, a
week ago last Tuesday AZ tho man they
wished TO catch is now safe beyond the
reach of our "Repubican Institutions" we
feel inclined 10 speak of the matter more
particularly. Among the colored men en-
ployed on board the Hero, was fugitive
slave. His 'masier,' wishing TO use the new
law TO arrest him, took passage in the Hero,
thinking TO catch the man, on reaching Hart
ford. Bit at East Haddani, the hunted man
felt moved in spirit" TO go ashore aud ex-
anime the country. When the buat reached
H. the hunters could not find him. They
sought diligently, but in vain. Four fresh
ingitives reached Hartford at the same time
with this man hunter. They and the color
ed man who saw fit TO go ashore at East
Haddam, are now in in Canada, where man
stealing is not iawinl.-Hntiord Repubiica..
