New Fugitive Saw Gases.

An aggravated case of kidnapping under the
sanction OF the Infamous slave Law last week oc-
cured in Philadelphia. Adam Gibson, an al
legged ami falsely proved slave, was seized, ta-
ken before an U. S Commissioner, who utterly
refusing the alleged fugitive the least time to
procure the witnesses who would have shown
him freeman, adjudged him slave and CAV
him. over to the negro hunter. Gibson was
then carried 10 Maryland. But the man to whom
he was sworn to belong denied any ownership,
when Gibson was suffered to escape aud after
many escapes from earrest and sufferngs, he
again reached home. The case is producing
much excitement in Philadelphia, and the infa
..mous man who seized and carried him off under
the certificate of the no less infamous commits
sioner, has been arrested and held to bail
The other case occurred about the same time
in New York. The victlm, Henry Long. alleg
ed to be the slave Of one Smith, of Virginia. was
seized and brought before Coz lnlissionrr. when
he was defended by john Jay, Esq, son Of Judge
Jay, who applied fora writ ofhabeas corpus, and
demanded that the commissioner should yield
his jurisdiction of the case till the alleged tugi-
tive should have his hearing under that precept.
This was violently opposed by the claimant and
his counsel when Jay quoted Crttendrn's opln-
ion that the slave law does not supecede the
writ of habeas corpus. This seemed to make so
much impression, that continuance was grant
ed. And it is probable hat the alleged fugitive
will obtain bis hearing, under that writ. Mr..
Jay declares his intention of carrying the case
up 10 the Supreme Court of the State, and of the
United States, to test the constluionalty the
slave law This is turning the slave holding

The Late Storm.

The late snow storm proves TO have been one
of almost unexampled severity over the "hoie
country. The snow in some parts OF northern
Vermont fell nearly three feet deep, and the
roads were blocked up as they have been rarely
