Col. Burt, Col Chestnut, Col. Orr, Mr.. Barn
well, Col. Brooks, Col. Boyce, Col Owens

This looks pretty well for the beginning of
an opposition to secession. But it is not all.
Last fall associations were formed in almost
every district in the State, for the purpose of
agitating and controlling public opinion, as
was done in France with so much success du-
ring. their bloody revolution. Butnow these
Jacobin clubs are dying in Charleston and
elsewhere, and they have in a great measure
ceased to meet. The members have with
drawn and in many instances are ashamed to
acknowledge their membership. In the up
per partof the State, hundreds of them have
subscribed to the Southern Patriot, and are
reading with pleasure every week the expo
sure of their former folly and recklessness.
But this reaction has not been confined to
South Carolina. Virginia has spoken thro'
her Legislature with almost perfect unanirn-
Iity, condemning the course of South Carroll
ma, and disappearing secession aud disunion
in all of its FORMS Georgia has declared,
by her sovereign convention, with vote of
two hundred and twenty to twenty, or about
that proportion, that she will have nothing to
do with disuniOn or secession. North Caro-
lima, by an overwhelming vote, denied the
right of State to seccde from the Union.
Florida refused to appoint or even consider
the appointment of delegates to a Southern
Congress. In Tennessee, Alabama, Mary
land, Louisiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkan-
sas and even Mississippi, the signs of reac-
ton are unmistakabIe, and except in Missis-
sippi and Alabama, there is no contest in ia
yor of further opposition to the action Of
Congress. Even in Mississippi, the fre-eat
ers have repudiated secession, with Gen. Quit
man at their head.
There has been still another reaction il
public opinion on this subject, not confined
to the Southern States, but pervading New
England, New York, Pennsylvania, and thu
Northwest. They have had meetings to pH
down this slavery agitation throughout mos
of the Northern and Eastern States The
;, distinguished public men of these States have
come out and denounced the agitation in the
strongest terms. The people have assembled
and assisted in the enforcement of the fugi
tive slave law The President of the Uni
ted States has publicly and solemnly deolar
his purpose to enforce the law.
I This reaction in South Carolina, in tn
Southern States, in the Northern States, an
throughout the whole United States, in "a
vor of law and order, the Constitution an,
|. the Federal Union, is cheering to the hear
I of the patriot and the friend Of republican
liberty,

A Slavery Question.


In 1910 three slaves belonging to Mr..
Harper, a farmer in Boone county, Kentucky,
fed to Ohio, and took refuge in Cincinnati
Their master pursued them, and was engag-
ed in ferreting out their place of concealment
when free colored man of property, name
Keytc, entered into negotiations for the pur-
chase of the three fugitives, and finally bought
them for $3.50 Mr.. Harper executed a bin
of sale in Cincinnati, and Keyte gave a
mortgage on some real estate to secure the
payment of the purchase money, for which
he had given promisory notes. When the
notes came to maturity they were not paid,
and Mr.. Harper recently fled bAl to fore
close the mortgage. The main point of the
defence was, that contract for the purchase
of slaves was void in the State of Ohio
Judge Key decided the caseon the 10Th ult
He held that, as the Constitution and tie ac
of Congress give right of rocapture, sucl
right of recapture is sufficient to sustain
contract of sale executed by the master in /
free State, conveying fugitiyes then in sucl
free State to citizen Of such State, and a de
cree of foreclosure was therefore made.
