V:,e Pardon Of Aiberti,

The Harrisburg Union, 4 Democratic Journal,
of course makes the following appropriate re-
marks upon Gov. Biger's just pardon of Alber-
ii:
4 most Righteous -4ct-Last weeek Cover
nor Bgler granted a pardon to George +. Aber-
ti,ofPhiladclp phia, and old man whowas convicted
aud who has been imprisoned for some twoyears,
tor what is termed kidnapping. The facts OF this
case have been referred to on several occasions
in our columns. consequently we shall make but
a brief statement OF them at this time.
Albcrti was engaged by gentleman Of Mat
rylaad to arrest a female runaway slave, then Ill
the State of New Jcrsv. When arrested, she
had in her arms an infant that had been born
in free State. When taken before an United
States officer. and remandod to her owner, she
was told that she should leave the child III fhIl-
adolphia. where it would be cared for at a pub
lie institution. and would Of course be free
This she positively refused to do, and adhered to
the determination to take the child with her.
Albert then delivered her and the child over to
the parties from Maryland authorized to receive
her.
The abolitioniSts of Philadelphia had Alhertl
arrested for kidnapping, and he was arralSn"d
for trial before the American Jettrevs. Judge
Parsons, whose passions and prclud!ces IN near
" all cases controlled his judgement. Before
coming to a trial it was ascrrtaincd that this
man could not be convicted without obtaining
the evidence of faon then under sentence IN
the Philadelphia prison, by the name OF lhom-
as Richardson The aboli ionists repaired to llar-
risburr, and obtained pardon for Richardson,
dated on the morning the trial was to commence
and this convicted tellon was brought from his
cell TO give testimony on which to convict Al
bcrti of kidnapping The charge Of the Judge
in this case was one of the most extraordinary
documents we ever read, and in accordance
with this onc-sidcd charge the defendant, was
convicted and scntancel for a period that would
in all probability, have terminated his ll!e II he
had been obliged to serve it out.
These were tic means rcsortcd to by the alb
oEtionists and Governor Johnson to convict this
old man, Albert, and it will b. source of graft
tication to every philanthropic citizen. to learn
that Gov. Bigler has granted him pardon,
In OR view this old man committed no Of
fence whatever. He did not carry Oft the child
to MARYLAND. because it was not carried into
slavery: and if he had done SO he committed no
offence against the laws of Pennsylvania as the
woman and child were taken from New Jersey.

city was passing near thd~Twcnty Mile Station,
the cotton took tira, consuming about two hun
dred and eighty bales together with some SIX
Or eight freight cars. We have before stated
that the woods in Efiglam County, on both

raj days, and that large amount Of timber had
been DESTROYED. We learn that the fire is still
Turning, and that yesterday afternoon the tim
Der on the track took fire. The engineer Of the
freight train not being aware Of this fact, and
thinking that the smoke and fire proc"edcd from
the woods, attempted to run Oh, and only found
out the situation Of the road when too late to
turn back. The burning Of the cotton detained
the down Passenger Train about one hour and a
half last night, the cars not reaching the Depot
until half past seven o'clock.
The damage to the Railroad is slight, and
will cause no detention, the Passenger Cars, the

Kossuths chance in Europc.-A writer from
Paris says, that the course of kossuth in Eng
land and America, is viewed with very general
ridicule in France All admit his wonderful
powers as an orator: many allow, also, his pa
triotism and his philanthropy. But, for the
most part, he is regarded either as vain and
ostentatious phrasemaker, or as pestilent dis
turber Of the worlds peace. The writer does
not question Kossuth's motives, but thinks it
certain he has played with Ledru Rollin, Mazzi-
nj, and Others, into the handc of despotism; and
has contributed largely to precipitate and excuse
the course of Louis Napoleon. "At all events,
his mission is orcr, so far as Europe is concern
ed. II is quite clear, from late Developments,
that not only Is Europe closed against him, but
If he had q chance to return to Hungary, he
pouM find that nation By no means unanimous
in his ayor."
