JUpsoN HUTcnINsoN.-Iti is stated in one of the Eas
tern papers that the insanity under which this we'll
known vocalist is suffering was greatly aggravated if
not ORIGINALLY induced, by excitement in regard to the
fugitive slave law. On the other hand "a correspondent
othe Syracuse Standard, who processes to be familiar
with all the circumstances of the case, says
AT Cleveland, Ohio, he met with Abner Howe. and
was magnezed by hmput in trance, in which he ex-
perenced the highly exactc impressions usually realized
bypersons large marvelousness and excable nervous
temperament. The next result was that his mind was
so disturbed that his part far from being satsac

and on Sunday he was decidedly deranged and has re-

Mr. WISE hoped his friend from Richmond would
allow the resolution to go TO a committee Itcertainly
suggested matter worthy OF enquiry. He regarded this
as question OF eminent domain, and asked why the
Convention could not consider it as well questions of
the appointment OF petty officers. He accepted the
suggestion OF Mr. LYONS that the resolution should for

exceedingly glad TO require the Legislature to take the
most strenEous measures to redress the injury But if

JUDGE GRIER ON THE FUGITIVE LAW

@ObNE HhlEh YIN he 4 UGIIINE LAW
We take pleasure in inserting so much as has
reached us ofthe important decision recently pro-
nounced by Judge ROBERT c. GRrER, oc the
United States Supreme Court in the case of the
fugitive slave, Henry Garnett, tried before him in
Philadelphia, He appears to us to have expount-
ed the law with great cearness, and amply to have
demonstrated its justice and propriety He shows
that puts the fugitive slave on the same footing
with the fugitive from justice, and no honest Nor
flsrn man, who is not hli,,.eJ by fsraoctsra, CAN
Geny that his was me intention of the Federal
Constitution. What the Judge says of the right of
the fugitive TO produce evidence to rehut the
p4ima fdc5s proof of Sidrery escape and identity,
does not weaken the efficiency of the law if such
evidence be fairly weighed. The South wants no
free black to be kidnapped into slavery. Such a
wrong would be promptly redressed by a
Southern as by a Northern Court But we do
contend that the law of Congress should be faith
fully carried out according TO the spirit of the
Constitution. We hold that the fugitive slave ia
to be delivered up on the same primo tacie evil
dence which is deemed sufficient in the case of
the fugitive criminal and this we understand to
be the import of Judge Griers decision Yet,
we must say, that in applying his principles to the
case of the slave Garnett, the Judge exacted n
formality of proof which we hardly think would
have been required, had it been the object of Gar
Nets pursuers 10 prove, by testimony ofidentical
ly the same force, that he had escaped from cuso-
dy for some criminal offence. Other Judges, we
fear, will find it convenient TO be even more rigid
than Judge Grier but majority of the cases,
that have thus far occurred since the present law
went into operation, tend to give confidence that
Northern Judges will be faithful in executing it
The Boston case, of which we have now only
the Geographic account, is well calculated to ex
cite indignation; butt will be improper to form
Judgment of it, before we know how it terInina-
ted.
The proceedings, related in the following state
ment, are also Sufficiently offensive:

The OLD COURT HOUSE, TAvERN--A RooKERY.-
couple of negroes were yesterday brought before

room in it. Though unable to detect the parties shout

building amply repaid him for the trouble He gave
III as his opinion that not less than fifteen different
tenants occupied the small rooms in that old dlapdated
buding-embracing. probably all ages, sexes and CO.
lours Upon going into one of the rooms, he found
window open and had reason to believe that the ne.
goes who had created the disturbance had eaped ont Of
as soon as he entered the house, Subsequent enquiry
had convinced him that the parties before his Honour
were the persons who had created the disturbance and
the evidence elected proved the conecnres of the Cap

slave belonging to Mr. P. Robnson) was ordered to Be
punished--he other was released 1t is to be hoped
that the police will reconnore the "Rookery" nightly,
and promptly arrest all dsturbers of the peace Of the

convert the product into goods or money, or BOTH
The last Farmville Republican states that wood i

people OF that city spare us supply at reasonable
