FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE I'm PHILA-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. fugitive slave case
has occurred at Philadelphia. On
Saturday afternoon a colorded man,
passing by the name of Adam Glib
son, was arr sted and taken to the
United States Marshall S Office where
a hearing took place before Edward
d. lngraham, Esq, United States
Commissioners. The man was claim
ed to be Emory Rice, who had run
away from VIM. Knight, living in
Cecil county, Md, in IS4I, and his
age stated to be 35. His identity
was proved by witness, who testi-
fed that he had seen him on Mr..
knights farm at that time. i y, -g
ty~--At--the close Of the avgar1ent tho
commissioners declared that all the
formalities required by the law had
been fulfilled, and being satisfied of
the fugitive's identity, he ordered him
70 be remanded, for the purpose of
being placed in the possession of his
owner.
A large crowed of colored people
had congregated in front of Indepen.
dence Hall, where the case was hear
ed, and still continued there at late
hour; but the fugitive had been re-
moved by the back wry, and was to
go south by the evening train.
Speaking of the above case the
Southern Press remarks
"Ihe proceeding was striking in
stance OF the immense moral force Of
the law. The fugitive was arrested
on pretense of chicken stealing, he
was stolen away from the cout house
by the officer and owner through a
back door, to escape from the mob in
/ front.
GAS the compromise was passed
under false pretenses, it is perhaps
appropriate that it should be execu-
ted under false pretenccs."

men would do for Ireland what they
have done for other nations, the scep-

fields Irishmen have rushed to victo-
ry-on foreign soil they have dug the
trench, and reared the castle, have
titled the field and built the cities,

they have, through domestic discord
and feud, covered one of the noblest
