of Georgia, went to Shawneetown, Illinois, last
spring. where he had two sons residing. He took
with him female slave, who left him and was con-
cealed by the Abolitonists. On the Sd of January
Haley applied to two justices ofthe peace for war

The warrant was served and the slave brought into
court. Defendants counsel moved postponement
OF the case to procure evidence, which was also
granted.
On the day appointed the trial came off A mo-
ton by the defendant to dismiss the case for want
ofjurisdiction, the law of the last Congress re-
CURED commissioners, and the law of '93 was re-
pealed by the new act, was overrued.
Plaintiff proved that he a resident of Georgia,
and that the defendant was his slave.
The defendant proved that her master came 10

ASSIGNMENT OF LAND WARRANTS.
MIR. UNDERWOOD moved and the Senate pro-
ceeded to the consideration of the joint revolution
from the House explanatory of the act approved
September %, 1850, entitled act granting
bounty land to certain officers and soldiers who
have been engaged in the military service OF the
United States. The following is the joint resolu-
ton
Resolued Sc, That nothing in the act approved
September 25 1850, "granting bounty land 10 GER
tain officers and soldiers who have been engaged in
the military service of the United States, shall be
so construed as TO prevent the sale and transfer OF
any certificate or warrant issued by virtue OF said
act prior 10 the location OF the same or the issue OF
the patent thereon.
Mr.. JONES moved TO amend the joint resolution
by adding thereto two sections proposing TO allow
the registers and receivers of the United States
land offices charge and receive for locating said
warrants the same rates o compensation to which
they are entitled by law for sales of the public
lands This compensation to be paid by the as
signee, in all where the warrant shall have
been assigned, and by the United States where the
land is located by the soldier warrantee.
Also that the registers and receivers, whether in
out OF Office at the passage OF this act, shall be
entitled to receive from the Treasurer of the Uni
ted States for similar services heretofore performed
in such cases, the same rate of compensation he
would have received were the land on the military
Messrs. BELL and UNDERWOOD opposed the
amendment.

Rhode Island U. s. senator.

The address of Mr.. HOLDEN, one of the
WING members of the Rhode Island Legisla-
ture who voted for General JAMES for the SEN
ate, we give as document of interest, how
ever little satisfactory it may be to his WING
constituents. The offence of Mr.. HOLDEN is
that Of violating party usages, in running coun-
ter to the decision of party caucus. When
he consented to abide by the result of the eau
Gus, the caucus only could relieve him from
the pledge which this consent involves. 1t
was for the caucus, and not for the minority of
it, to determine what course should be pursued
to defeat the factious or refractory conduct of
individuals. lfGeneral JAMES is the man he
is described to be by Mr.. HOLDEN, he cannot be
very distressingly bad Democrat. A man who
voted for HARRISON and CLAY land who would
have voted for General TAYLOR, ifhe had voted at
all, and who beside all this is good Tariff man
and Union man, and voted for Governor ANrHo-
NY, is a WHIefor many good, substantial pur-
poses, that his claim to Democracy must be
rather an eccentricity. We are rather inclined
to think that it is the democracy of numbers
that General JAMES affects, and not the Rich
mond and Albany Democracy.
We observe that thirty-one Wing members
of the Rhode Island Legislature have signed a
card declaring that they did not vote for Mr..
JAMES. The Providence Journal is not salts
fed with Mr.. HoLDEN's letter, and regards his
course as rank treason to the Wing party.
But we will give Mr.. HOLDEN and his friends
the benefit of its publication:

LITTLE MOCK, (Ark.,) jan. To-
To the Editors Of the Louisville Journal:
DEAR Sins The Legislature of this State has
just adjourned. strong and combined effort was
made to commit the State to the South Carolina
and Mississippi doctrine, but il met unexpected
opposition in the House of Representatives. and
most signally failed.
The report and resolutions of the Committee OH
Federal Relations, cmbodying in full the doctrine
OF notification, were laid the table by large
majority; and, after bringing every influence to
bear In the House, from every quarter, a motion
was made to reconsider, which was voted down.
An attempt to effect the same object was made
by passing through the Senate a vote of thanks to
representatives in Congress for their defence of
southern rights and their opposition to the aggres
sive legislation of the late session of Congress
This, too, was laid on the table by large MAORI
ty; but, under the plea that it was reflection
upon our members in Congress, it was, after a Sc
we're struggle, reconsidered, and il was then SO
amended that the last clause, .sand their opposi-
ton to the aggressive Legislation of the last session
OF Congress-" was stricken out, and a proviso
added that this was not to be construed into con.
domination of the series Of measures called the
Compromise-upon which the friends OF the origi-
nal resolution voted it down with great indigna-
ton.
All this is very significant of the sense of the
people Of this State this subject, with the excep-
ton Of, probably, majority of the Democratic
politicians. They are warmly in favor of the Com
promise and faithful to the Union, and will mani
feet 1t on every occasion.

ATTEMPT AT LYNCH Law IN CINcINNATI-The Gin
cnna Times cona ms the following particulars of an
affair which took place in that city,
"a few days since Mr.. Warren, of Memphis, Ten
nessee, having in his company male slave whom he
had raised from childhood arrived in this city and
stopped at the Dennison House The slave is large
fine looking man, and well dressed, and we are in orm.
ed, enjoys perfect freedom at home where he conducts
large barber shop.
Last evening, he, with an old acquaintance, visited
the Dumas House, hotel for colored people, on Nc
Aser street between Fourth and Fifth streets He had
not been there long before he invited to room in
the upper part OF the building. Not suspecne any
thing wrong, he went up stairs He was taken into q
room and then informed that he suspected OF be-
ing southern spy, and that the boarders about the
house had appointed jury 10 investigate the CHARGE
The door was fastened and guards stationed on the
outside 10 prevent interference 18th the proceedings of
the COMMITTEE" He was told Il at he would be at lib
ery the charge was not sustained but iproved tine
would never inform on another fugitive slave
The slave by some means conveyed information 10
his master, OF what was going on Mr.. Warren call
ed at the watch house and procuring the services of
Messrs Bloom and Campbell, proceeded to the hotel
The officers made their way the room but were there
resisted and not allowed enter. Most ofthe persons
about the house, armed with pistols, and were
loud In their threats. Tae committee beng able to
sustain their charge they unfairly released their pris.
oner. We have no doubt, from all we can learn OF the
affair, that foul play intended the slave and if we
to believe all hear, had the charge been sus-
tanned, he would have been lynched.

An elaborate opinion in favor of the cons,iu.
tionality Of the Canal law passed at the recent
session of the New York Legislature, has been
given by Judge Bronson. it authorizes the issue
of $4,000 900 in bonds or certificates, for the
purpose of completing the enlargement of the Erie
Canal, but the New York Journal of Commerce
positively asserts that these certificates do not bind
the State. 1t says
The State will no more be holden for their paw
ment, than for The debts OF Louis Napoleon. 1t
will be well tor those whoshnk of purchasing any
OF these certificates, to tax this fact into account
The certificates are in no sense, and under no cir
cumstances, binding upon the Stat They are Sc

imperfect securities, backed neither by State nor
individual guarantees, are to be made basis for
