A meeting of the Anti-Slavery men of the
First Assembly District of Oswego county, met
in Fulton on the 3Oth ult J. c. HARRINGTON,
of CRANKY presided. The following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved That we have no hope for the
success Of our cause in the so-called Democratic
or Wing parties; for the first is the natural ally
of Slavery and the Slave Power and the Sec
ond is the source of all compromise, from the
commencement of our Government to the pres
ent time-in other words, always sacrificing
principle to comfort and sOlace wrong.
Resolved That we accept as basis OF ope-
ration the platform presented to the People of
the United States by National Convention
held at Cleveland, Ohio, last September, and
which comes to us through the columns OF the
National Era, under date of October 8, 1851"
IThe resolutions Of the Cleveland Conven-
ton are then quoted
" Resolved, That rs organization is necessary,
we will appoint the usual county and town
committees, also delegate and substitute, to
attend State Convention, whenever held and
that we recommend to our friends in all the
Assembly districts to do the same
Rev. s. Hoes was appointed the State dele

We are pleased to see that the People are
organizing in their primary assemblies and en-
terrain the hope that the movement will be
vigorously prosecuted. Eternal vigilance is

deem it duty owe to myself, rs well as
the public, to reply to the statement under the
signature of Messrs. Culver and Jay, in the
Post of Saturday evening 1t was on Thursday,
and not on Friday, that the attorney for the
claimant declared his case closed and then
asked Msssrs Culver and Jay if they were pre-.
pared to proceed with their testimony-Mr.
Culver having stated, in the morning that he
had three witnesses in attendance, and then
offered to sit until ten that evening. The coun-
sci remarked that we had been in session over
six hours and they would prefer going on with
their testimony the following morning. Mr..
Jay inquired of the counsel for the claimant il
he had any mere testimony to Offer and asked
the Commissioner if he would permit the claim
ant to introduce further testimony and was
answered that none but rebutting testimony
would be admitted. The case was then ad-
journed until Friday morning when the coun-
sci for the fugitive were to produce their tcsti-
mony.
At the opening Of the Court ON Friday the
counsel, Messrs. Jay and Emmett (Mr. Culver
not being present. had no witness in attend
ancc, and subpGnas were issued to the Mar
shall to summon two witncsscs-Martin and
another person. The counsel for the fugitive

examined him at considerable length, when.
the Marshal not being able to summon the
witnesses, MIR Jay argued the case on the part
OF the fugitive, and Mr.. Busted on the part of
the claimant; and Mr. Jay, after going to the
library 20 obtain the books cited by the oppo
site counsel closed his argument in reply and
the Commissioner reserved his decision until
the following morning.
All the papers that have seen, in which the
proceedings were reported, stated that the tes-
tlmony was closed, and that certainly was the
understanding of the counsel for the claimant
as well as myself
That 1t was mere prctext for vexatous de-
lay, and that they had no testimony TO offer.
infer from the fact that after the decision was
announced, MIR. Emmett the associate counsel
OF MIR. Jay stated in my Office in the presence
of another gentleman, that it would have
been better To have made the offer To permit
them to have gone on, as they had no witness
es to produce, and it would not have occupied
over half an hour and would have been more
satisfactory TO all concerned

Mosr MELANcnoLy AND SHOCKING
AccInENr The Pauiding (Miss.l Ca
zette, Of The 2lst ult., narrates the follow
ing truly melan choiy and tragic affair:
..Doctr Murdoch McNair, of Tippah.
came to his death, some weeks since, in
most singular and shocking manner.
1t appears, from the particulars which
have been Kindly forwarded Us by friend,
that the Doctor went out hunting about
ten o'clock in the morning Of the day of
his death, and when he was returning
home in the afternoon. he discovered some
thing in sink hole, which is common in
the section of country where he resided.
lie Immediately dlsmounted from his
horse, and placed his gun against a log.
which was laying near by. as it is conjec-
tured from the marks which were subse-
quently discovered about the place. 1t
was also apparent that he again remountet,
and riding up to the log on which his gun
was laying, he evidently stopped down
apd tosf bold of it by the nozzle. and
log, il order to get better hold, it slipped
off, broke one Of the hammers, and the
other went off and lodged the contents of
the barrel in his right breast, setting his
coat ON fire, and his horse wheeling sud
denly round, he Of course fell to the
ground. The unfortunate man, struggling
as it were, in the very jaws Of death,
succeeded in pulling off his coat and vest,
and laying them down, they we're consum-
ed by fire. lie also had strength and
presence Of mind enough to unbotton bis
shirt and tear it open in front. and then,
sinking on the earth, shortly afterwards
expired. AfterwarIs-which is most
singular and remarkable occurrence -
his o'c,a dogs returned and eat a hole IN his
breast and when his remains were found,
they presented a mutilated and most aw
full appearance.
'.Dr. McNair was native Of Nortl
Carolina, and has many relatives and
friends residing in this section of Missi,s
| ippi. He vas most excellent physician
and was highly esteemed ih the communit,
in which he lived, as an honest man anu
a most estinable member of society. The
distressing and painful manner of his deatI
has thrown gloom and sorrow hi,
family aud friends, which time will never
dispel.'
