Fugitive Slave Law in New York.

fugitive oIdVe Law Az NOW AV
On the 18th of last month, a bill was in
troduced in the House Of Assembly Of the
Legislature Of New York, entitled "An act
to prevent the arrest or the removal Of free
citizens of this State beyond its jurisdiction,
except for crime"
The first section declares the arrest of a
citizen to remove him, &C., beyond the State,
kidnapping, and imposes the penalty of ten
years imprisonment in the State Prison.
The second section declares any person
who shall have openly and publicly resided
in the State for one year, next preceding an
arrest, citizen, within the meaning OF the
act.
The third section is in words as follows
"on the trial of any indictment found under
this act or any civil action given by this act,
the defendant may prove that the person char
ged to have been arrested, or removed, or at
tempted 10 have been arrested or removed
as aforesaid, was not in fact freeman enti-
tied to come and reside in this State; and il
the jury shall be satisfied thereof, they shall
cquaint the defendant; but no warrant, or
der, process or certificate, issued or made by
any court or officer, and no exRarte affidavit
disposition or record, shall be received or ad'
mitted in evidence to establish the right tt
arrest or remove the person charged to have
been arrested or removed, or to prove ,ha
such person was not free citizen of this State
within the true intent and meaning OF this
act"
The fourth section prescribes the prope
county in which indictments may be found
The fifth section excepts persons charge
with crimes committed in other States; an
E those enlisted in the U. s. Army and Navy
) If this bill shall become law, of whicl
result there is every prospect the Fugitive
Slave Law" will thereby be efectually nulli

A goodly number of bills were disposed of
to-day in both branches.
In the Senate discussion arose as TO the
propriety of authorizing counties to subscribe
to the stock of railroads. An able speech
against it was made by Mr., -, but the
bill carried.
In the House this afternoon, our repre-
sentative reported back the bill in regard to
the Jackson county subscription, with the
amendment mentioned in my last letter.
He made clear statement OF the facts in the
case and ar gued very forcibly that the amend
ment proposed by him gave to the Iron COM
pany all they had right to ask, and more
than they would have without it. He was
interrupted frequently by questions from diff
lerent parts Of the house. After he sat down
Johnson of Medina, one of the Judiciary
committee that reported the bill two or three
days since, rose and commenced an elaborate
argument in favor Of the bill as reported BY
his committee, and against the amendment
proposed by Mr.. Moore. Before he conclu

CoruMRus, Feb. A. lsbl

OOLUMbuS, rtD, Al 1901.
The Senate this afternoon had under con
sideration the Free banking bill. Several
amendments were proposed and adopted in
committee of the whole, and while thus in
committee, there was quite pretty little pas
sage of arms between the democratic and
whig sides Of the chamber. The contest,
very good-natured one by the way, ended
rather to the advantage of the whig side. Be
fore any great advance had been made, the
committee rose and reported progress.
The house was engaged all day in disposing
Of bills Of various kinds. Itstands them in
hand to be thus engaged, for there are some
thing like 600 bills NOW introduced, and the
number is daily increasing, although few
have been disposed of.
An attempt was made in the Senate, to-
dcy, 10 introduce resolution for adjourn
ment, but leave could not be obtained. The
object Of the mover, however, | suppose was
accomplished, which was to add a little to
his capital in the Buncombe stock.
A Mr.. Ramage, brother of the member Of
that name, died here to-day.
Our railroad bill, reported q day r two
since from the Judiciary committee, was on
motion of Mr.. Moore, yesterday, referred to
a tselect committee, consisting of himself,
Mr.. Bundy and Mr.. Cherington. This com
mittee met last evening and agreed to report
section in lieu Of one reported by the Judi
ciary committee, which, while it does full
justice to the Iron company and gives them
all that they have any right TO ask, secures to
our company the Jackson county subScrip-
ton. The leading features of the proposed
amendments are; 70 permit the two compa-
nies to unite at the present proposed junction
if they can agree upon terms, which there
can be no doubt they will do. If not, it gives
the Iron company power to use so much o.
our road in Jackson county as will be built
with the 100000, paying reasonable sum
for such use; if they agree within three
months to do so, they are to relinquish any
claims they may now have to the right o
way along Hale's creek. think this was
happy conception of our Representative, ant
should think would be satisfactory TO oul
company. 1t should, though it mny not be
to the Iron company. The bill as thus amend
ed is now in the hands of the printer ant
will probably come up, and vote be had up
on it tomorrow or the next day.
There is to be another Ladies' Supper thi
evening, but as they are rather dangerous pla
ces for some people, trust you will hav'
too high an opinion of your corresron lent
. . prudence to believe he will venture to atten
after his recent experience. Yours, G.

Colonel Beuton.

The New York Herald, of the Goth ult.
had reliable information that Col. Benton,
'in no event. AMI under no contingencie
will consent to run, either as the candidate
Of party or ofa sec ion, or faction, or as an
independent candidate for the Presidency.
Upon this point, we understand, Col. Ben
ton has expressed himself conclusively and
decisively. But we are also given to un-
derstand, that with regard 10 running at the
next election as candidate for the House
from the St. Louis district, he leaves the
question entirely in the hands Of his friends;
but that he may be expected TO be on hand
when the next election for the Senate shall
come off in the Missouri Legislature. y
Meantime, it is understood Col. Benton will
amuse himself by compilation of his
speeches in the Senate. of the last thirt,
years, with such explanatory notes as shal
give us an inside view Of the politics Of tht
country for that long period. When fin
ished, it will be very curious an interest

COLUMBUS, Feb. 6. 1851

The important matter, fol our section of
country, to-day, was the action in the House
on the bill in regard 70 our railroad
Uniformed you in my last, that the House
took recess last night, in the midst of n
speech Of Johnson, of Medina, against it, This
morning, Mr., Johnson concluded his speech,
and one or two others said a few words in
Opposition, when Smith. of Clermont, rose
and mounted it rougn-shod. He became
furious on the subject; spoke of The weak
and oppressed Iron Company; that they had
no representative on the floor; that bar
gain had been made between that company
Ond Jackson county which ought TO be car
ried out and much more in that vein.-
Afterhe concluded Mr. Moore, rose and in
u very temperate manner entered into the
merits Of the subject. showing that, so iar
from doing the Iron company an injury, the
bill, as reported by him, left them in bet.
Ter condition than they were before. He
spoke for nearly an hour und left no poin,
untouched.
Mr.. Bundy followed him, maintaining The
right OF Jackson county 10 subscribe to The
road which her citizens thought most 10 thri
interest. He soid, The question was not be-
tween The rival interests Of Portsmouth ant
lronton, but whclher the legislature woult
say that his county should not act for he
best interests and whether by defeating thi
bill she should be prevented from having |
railroad through her territory. I
He made good speech for his constituent
and i. probably produced some effect.
Smith Of Clemont again attacked the bill

questions, vote was obtained on Moore's
amendment and lost S2 to %.
A motion was then made to insert The
amendment Of the Judiciary committee and
also to indefinitely postpone. Mr.. Moore
remarked that it was unnecessary 70 vote up
on any other amendments, as our company
had conceded all they could, and all they
would. A motion was then made to recon-
slider the vote by which Moore's amendment
was lost and it carried. The House then took
a recess.
After dinner, the question Of course came
up again on that amendment, when after a
long time spent in call Of the house, it car
red by, believe, four or five votes. An in
ef1ectual attempt was then made to stave-ofl
the vote on engrossment, by going intoa spe.
cial order of the day, (McCune's claim) SET
for o'clock to-day. But it failed and the
vote on engrossment stood 23 yeas to "a
nays.
Should the bill pass the Senate, as it prob
ably will, have no doubt that the two com
panies will eventually unite their roads or
satisfactory terms, the present dissension'
will be healed, and the two improvements
move on harmoniously together. Mutua
interest will no doubt prompt to this course

Removals.

We notice the removal Of James Pursell,
and Shackleford & Crichton, to their new
building, between Court and Market streets.
By .the-bye, our friends should fix on name
for their new buildings. To be sure "rose
by any other name will smell as sweet" and
the "lron Row" will do as much business
if called Enterprise or Exchange Buildings
1t don't sound well for man to-haye an alias
in his name, and building with several
names might as well have none at all. In
both cases persons may be deceived.
