Warning TO PugitivCs,

Henry Bibb pleads eloquently with his hgi-
tive brethren who yot remain in the States to
come ut once to Canada, where alone they can
be safe from the clutches of the kidnapper.-'
He thinks they hazard too much by staying
where the law affords them no protection, but
offers every facility for their capture. We arc
quite willing to leave this question to bo decid-
cd by our fugitive friends themselves without
our advice but we believe there are places in
the Free States where public opinion has made
the kidnapping law dead letter, and where the
danger of their being carried off is small in
deed. We would have them fully apprized Of
all the facts in the case, and then leave them to
follow their own Judgment or instinct. Our
friend Bibb eloquently says "Thele is no
spot in the United States upon which the trem-
bling fugitive from stripes and imprisonment
can stand and not be liahlo to be seized by the
strong arm Of the American Government and
hurried back to his bonds Yes, you may 60
and stand ON the top of Plymouth Rock, oil
scout around the plains of Lexington and Con-
cord, beneath which lie sleeping tho bones O.
our revolutionary fathers or hide beneath thu
shadow of Bunker Hill monument (Which wa
consecrated to Liberty as did William anC
Ellen Craft, who were compelled to flee from
Boston to England for liberty; yet you will b.
no moro safe than they were, no less liable t
fall prey to your pursuers.

HES FREE THE Voice Of the Fugitire an
nounces the arrival in Canada of a young man
named James Madison, formerly owned by
cotton planter in Georgia He was recapturcd
and locked up prison several times while pas
sing through the State of Illinois, but he sue
ceeded at length in battling his pursuers and is
now free man. His owner, named Snypes,
and another slavehunter, caught him once, lock-
cd his hands together, chained him to the back
of their buggy, and compelled him to walk
while they rode. The villains were so over
joyed at the recapture of their victim that they
stopped at almost every hotel to drink. AT
length they became rather careless of their at
tention to James, and he with nail, picked the
lock that fastened his chain, and went off with
out so much as asking their leave. He now
very coolly sends word to his old master that
he likes Canada very well, and that the pad.
lock and chain may be found in the woods neal

brandy

Coon PLuox.-Adam Crooks, a Wesleyan
preacher in Montgomery Co., N. c., was in
December last ordered by a large meeting of
shareholders and their tools to leave tho State.
He boldly refused to comply with their impu-
dent and unlawful demand, and, planting him
self upon his rights as man and minister,
told them he hated slavery and would remain
in the State as long as he pleased. These facts
are stated by Mr.. Crooks in letter to The True
Wesleyan.

pears by letters from New Orleans, from
both private and public sources, that the
four urymen who stood out against the con-
yiciion Of Gen. Henderson of the fhct OF
purchasing the Creole and taking part in the
Expedition against Cuba, did SO under the
impulse Of "higher law" convictions. 1t
will bc remembered that the purchase of the
Creole, the payment Of $4,000 in cash, and
-ihe balance in his own notes, was distinctly
and uudeninbly proved against Gen. Hen

South Carolina and Great Britain.

Our readers know that South Carolina, like
several other Atlantic slave States, has laws
providing for tho imprisonment of colored sea-
men arriving in her ports, and that these laws
are applicable alike to seamen from tho Free
States and from foreign nations. They know.
too, that all efforts to secure redress for griev-
snces arising under tho enforcement Of these
laws, which are palpably unconstitutional, have
hitherto proved futile The laws in question
arc clearly rcpugnant to our treaty stipulations
with Great Britain, but the powers at Washing
ton, when appealed to by that Government for
relief excused themselves from interfering in
the matter on account Of the peculiar dolicacy'
of the relations existing between the Slave
sovereignties and the Union. Great Britain, in
these circumstances, appealed directly to the
authorities of South Carolina, and it is not
| little amusing to see how State that keeps the
Federal Government in awe by her bluster ant
bravado calmed down at once when the British
lion laid his paw on her head. There was nc
need that the lion should roar in order to Sc
cure a respectful hearing of his complaint. TIT
British Counsul sent mild remonstrance Il
Governor Means, who laid it before the Logis
lature, where it was referred to Committee
Well informed persons believe that the laws il
question, so far as they affect British seamen
will be either abandoned or modified. Sailor
from the Free States will of course be impris
oned as heretofore, for that is one of the prac
tical blessings secured to the North by tn
Union.

fixed upon the 2sth of May for holding another
Convention. The place of meeting is no. yet
agreed upon, but it ought to be and the Call

as well as women, but we presume the latter
will be permitted to have things pretty much
their own way without interference from the
other sex. There is some talk, we believe, of
holding the Convention at Akron, and if friends
there are agreed, we should think the place as
suitable as any that has been mentioned. ai

amount Of blood from the brain, and
they will fall asleep in a few
moments. A cold bath, or sponge
bath and rubbing. or a good run, or a
rapid walk in the open air, or going
up or down stairs o few times just
before retiring, will aid in equaling
circulation and promoting sleep.
These rules are simple, and easy of

We are astonished at tho increase Of
crime and murder that. has taken

standing that Eve or six executions
have taken place within a compare
lively short time, murder stills stalks
abroad. The knife Of the assassin is
lunsheathed, and plunged into the
vitals Of his fellow man, to crafty
premeditated revenge, to wipe out an
imaginary offence, or for tho purpose
Of gain. Four men arc now under
sentence Of death in this city, and
seyeral here and in our neighborhood
arc awaiting trial for that awful
cline. Rowdyism- the precursor
CT crime and murder-is is still rampant
among US, and to add to the
horrible state Of affairs, arson is Of
frequent occurrence IN this and other
parts OF the State. There is no
crime of such
