The White Fugitive Slaves.

The New.Albany Ind ledger of the I'd inst.
gives the conclusion OF the curious Fugitive Slave
case at that place
THE FUG1TIyEs RETuRNED.-On Saturday
morning the Committee, appointed on the previous
evening to solicit subscriptions for the release OF
the persons claimed as Fugitives went actively
to work, and by noon had collected nearly sui
fcent to meet the demands of Tramel The re-
mainder was advanced by one or two Of our citi-
zens. The Committee then proceeded to Louis
Vile paid the $780, received bill of sale and the
documents upon which Tramel rested his claim,
and brought the woman and boy back to this city.
Thus terminates one of the most singular ana
interesting cases CT the kind which, we will ven
ture to say has ever occurred in the nted States.
1t is remarkable fact that the sympathy for these
persons was not confined TO the free State OF Indi-
ana, but was manifested equally by citizens of
Kentucky who became cognizant Of the facts in
the case. In Casseyyille they were torn by a
slayehodng mob from the man claiming them,
and he threatened with the summary vengeance
of the excited multitude ana when milder coun-
sells prevailed, and the tugitiyes brought before
the proper tribunal. they were released as rchite
persons. In Louisville, also, the feeling was very
strong and as soon as they were seen several
prominent citizens at once proposed to raise the
necessary funds for their liberation. Indeed, we
understand they are still anxious to contribute to
this object, and for this purpose II is proposed to
hold meeting this evening.
We hope never TO hear of another such case
as this For persons pronounced white by nine
teen twentieths of all who see them, to be carried
away captive and held in slavery, IS something
revolving to the feelings OF every American CT
tizen When the United States marshal came
here to execute the order Of Judge huntington
he expressed his fears that our citizens would re-
lease the prisoners by force. But their best
friends told the marshal to proceed in his mission
and that he would nor be molested Mr.. Mere
dith frequently said that this was the moss disa
greeable duty he had ever been called upon to
perform and at once subscribed fifteen dollars TO-
ward their release.
We are rejoiced that our citizens acted as they
did. Under very aggravated circumstances they
have exhibited their respect for the law and IN
SO promptly subscribing for the liberation OF these
persons, have shown that they are not nsensible
to the calls of benevolence and charity.
The Bulletin, of the same date says; We are
informed that when the Committee informed the
caPtlves that they had bought them and were 90
ing TO give them their liberty, they wept for Joy
Their hearts Were TOO full 70 allow them to ex-

Mr.. jenkins, Chairman OF the Committee, made
report OF preamble, submissive but argumeu.
tstive:
That We hold the American Union secondary in
importance only to the rights and principles it
was designed TO perpetuate. Past associations,
our present position and future prospects viii
bind US 10 it as long as it continues the safeguard
Of those rights and principles.
That IN this spirit Georgia maturely consld-
ers the actions of Congress, embracing series
Of messures-the admission of California into the
Union-the organization OF Territorial Govern
ments for Z tab aud New Mexco-the establish
meut Of the boundary between the latter State
and Texas-the suppression of the Slave Trade
in the District OF Columbia-the extradition
ofFugitiYe Slayes-and the connection with them
of thereCeptiou OF proposition to exclude slave
~ in Mexiaan territories and to abolish slavery
in the District OF Columbia, and while 1t does
not wholly approve, it will abide by them as a
permanent adjustment OF the sectional Contro-
yersy
Georgia in the judgment of this Convention,
will and ought to resist a lastresort the dlsrup-
ton Of every tie which binds her to the Union, any
future act Of Congress abolishing slavery in places
within the Slaveholding States the erection OF FORTS
magazines, arsenas, dock yards, navy yards 6c
or any act suppressing the Slave trade between
slaveholding States, or any refusal to admit as
State any territory hereafter applying, because
Of the existence Of Slavery therein or any
Act prohibiting the introduction OF Slaves into the
Territories of Utah and New Mexico, or any Act
repeating or materially modifying the laws now
in force for the recovery of Fugitive Slaves
That it is the deliberate opinion OF this Conyen-
ton that upon the faithful execution Of the Fugi-
tive Slave Bill by the proper authorities depends
the preservation of our much loved Union.
