II. II. Gafhct, one Of the delegates to the
frankfort Peace Congress, writes to the Nom
Slavcholder an account Of visit of the Ameri-
can delegates to the University of Heidelberg
JGermany.) J. w. c. Pennington, of Hart
k5rd, Ct, had received from this institution the
degree of d. D., and this was his FIRST visit to
his Alma Mater. While in the chapel, one of
the learned Professors invited DIR. Pennington
to ascend the platform and say few words
He complied with the request, and when he de-
soended, the Doctor of Law stepped forward
ind embraced DIR. Pennington in both arms
and kissed him upon the forehead, amid loud
applause. The Professor remarked in sub.
stance " that while the Faculty were dcsirous
to pay tribute to his worth, talent and learn
ing ut the same time they wcrc anxious to
show to the world that in Germany, man is
not Judged by the color of his skin-and that
they took pleasure in holding out to the Afri-
can race, as well as to others, inducements to
become learned and useful"
Mr.. Giddings has been denounced as SLAM
dcrer for asserting that Gen. Taylor, when he
6rst went to Washington, and before his inaug-
uration, attempted to influence Congress in
favor of the passage of Walkers amendment
to the Civil and Diplomatic bill, whereby Cali
fornia would have been organized without the
Wilmot Proviso, and thus left open for the in
PRODUCTION Of Slavery. Mr.. Gddngs has at
length completely vindcatcd himself by the
publication of letters from Linn Boyd of Ken
lucky, w. A. Richardson and w. II. Bisscll
Of Illinois, and J. d. Morris of Ohio, who all
testify that Gen. Taylor, in conversations with
them, did express the sentiments attributed to
him by Mr.. @.
The Hartford (Ct) Religious Herald de-
nounccs the Fugitive Law, and says truly that |
il is enough to reanimate the dust of old Isaiah, |
that stern reprovcr of wrong, and make him |
once more lift up his voice in the words that |
rang in the cars of ancient opprcssors. "woc |
unto them that decree unrightcous dccrccs, and |
that write gricvousncss which they have pre-
scribcd; to turn aside the needy from iudg-
mont, and to take away the right from tho poor
ofmy people," What fanatic that old proph-
ct was, to speak so disrcspcctfully of the
rulers Of the land
The Richmond Enquirer rcjoiccs over the
success of the Compromise bills. North and
South, It says, now unite in abandoning the
Wilmot Proviso. Of the ncwly acquired terri
tory, NeW Merico and Utah are open TO the peo-
pie Of tte South, to take their their slares. Tex
as runs up to SO 80, tho very limit of the Mis-
souri line, and when she wills to do so, and
possesses sufficient population, may of right
give the South four slavcholding States Nor
thern journals, Of both the great parties join iu
this cxultation over what they call the triumph
Of national sentiments.
J. W. Julian, member Of Congress from the
Wayne District, Indiana, said in the Massachu-
sctts Frccso Convention that if he thought the
citizens of his State could engage in the hcllish
work Of capturing Fugitive Slaves, he would
scorn to hold seat in Congress by their votes,
and consider them as fit subjects themselves for
the lash. lie had well considered the subject
and he would so to the stake and burn before
he would engage in such hcllish business. In
the name Of God and humanity he was deter
mined to trample that law under foot.
A correspondent in Aurora portage Co., We
bclievc) wrote us a letter some time ago giving
an encouraging account of the cambridge Con-
ycntion. The writer said that many people were
now ready to listen to Abby Foster and Parker
Pillsbury, who would not do so five years ago,
alleging that they arc mildcr in their speech
now than thoy were then. Our correspondent
thinks the change is in the pcoplc-that they
do not hear with the same ears as formerly
lie is unquestionably right in this conclusion.
The Massachusetts Frcesoilers resolved at
their late Convention that they could not un-
dcrstand the morals or the logic of party
which processes to execratc the Fugitive Law,
whilst in the breath it declares its devotion
to the President, who mmortalizes his infamy
by giving to it his approving signature. Can
the same Convention explain its own morals
and logic in protesting to exccratO tho law,
while 1t avows its purpose to adhere to the Con-
stitutional Compromise ON which that law is
based.
Genin, the New York halter who paid 1925
for the first ticket to Jenny Linds concert, has
sent to Dodge, who paid 1925 for the first tick
vt sold in Boston, for measure of his head, in
tending to send him one of his best hats. The
Mohawk Times says it is fortunate that he did
not ask for the measure of Dodgc's cars, for
they must be immeasurablel What shall be
said Of the ears of Ross, who paid $3.50 for a
ticket In Providence
A purse of 800 has been given to a colorcd
man in Toronto for giving information to
the police which led to the arrest of a company |
of burglars. Thus, says a correspondent of The
Tribune, while this oolored man is doing all he |
can to prevent tho robbery of tho whites in
