Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1853-07-16

During this period, by his industry and up
righiness he has secured the esteem of all
acquainted with him.
When Freeman came here he brought
with him considerable amount of property.
He deposited, we understand, 5000 in Bank
he soon purchased property, and married n
respectable girl then living in the family of
Rev. Henry w. Beecher. lie has family
OF three children, not five as we enormously
stated last week. by his industry and ffu-
gality he has acquired property to the amount
of four or five thousand dollars.
The manner Of Freeman's arrest and the
insolence of the claimant had no tendency
to preven! excitement. The cowardly Off
GERS who arrested him, did so by resorting,
rs usual in such cases, TO falshood and de-
ception. They represented to him that he
was required to go to the office of n Justice
OF the Peace TO give testimony in n case
wherein another colored man was n party
The unsuspecting man accompanied them to
the Office of Esq. Sullivan, the United Suites
Commissioner Stopping for n moment Mt
the office of MIR. Ketchan, which is adjoining
the Commissioners office, he was there np.
pretended aud hurried before Commissioner
Sullivan. There was great reluctance to
give Freeman opportunity to consult counsel.
Mr. kctchnm, appearing ns one of his coun-
sci, demanded opportunity TO consult his
client in private, and he was reluctantly
permitted to take Freeman into his office for
this purpose. The consultation had contin-
ued but few minutes before the claimant,
with his posse, called nt the door, (which was
locked) aud became clamorous for his intend
cd victim. Shortly after the door was opened
10y Mr. X, and officer Stnpp and his assistant
seized Freeman with ierocity that would
have done honor to tigers aud then hurried
him down stairs and to the Court House, to
which place the Commissioner had adjourn
ed the hearing. Thither one of Frceman's
counsel soon followed. When he arrived in
Court, the claimant, Ellington, was insolenty
examining the mouth of Freeman, probably
to discover certain marks therein. Counsel
reminded the Court and the claimant that his
client wns a man and not horse, aud that he
expected him to he treated as a man. In the
mean time the people began to assemble,nnd
it was evident that public sentiment would
require n more deliberate trial than the
claimant at first intended should be had
The subsequent proceedings are gwen by
our Reporter.
VIM. Sullivan, Esq, who issued the war
rant, did not receive his appointment under
the Fugitive Slave Act, hut was appointed
United States Commissioner for general pur-
poses, previous to the passage of that act.
That act, however, gives such Commission
ers the same power on this subject MS those
appointed under the Fugitive Act. We have
no doubt Mr.. Sullivan engaged in this case
against his own wishes. 1t was thought by
some that in the outset he manifested de-
sire to dispose of the case too hastily
Whether this is true or not we are unable to
l,I ll,t 10,
sderation of the case, he may at first have
misapprehended his duty. Since the return
of the case form Judge Major, we think Mr..
Sullivan has shown disposition to do Justice
to both parties, so far as the law under which
hc acts will permit. Counsel for the claim
ant desired some time for themselves to pre-
pare for trial, but denied that the defendant
was entitled TO moments time for his de-
tense, but ont of respect TO public opinion
they were willing to give thirty days, which
they thought reasonable time, TO freeman
TO procure evidence of his freedom, if any
existed. The Commissioner looking at tho
distance TO be Travelled, deemed thirty days
not reasonable time and gave, we think,
very properly, nine weeks from last Monday,
which day is set for the further hearing Of
the case.
Thus the matter stands at present. Free.
man is now in Jail. Marshal Robinson on
Monday gave his counsel notice that he sho'd
remove him to some other place, hut did not
say where. The Madison Banner of this
morning Tuesday says;
freeman, we learn, is to be brought down
from indianapolis TO. day for saie.keeping in
the all of this county for sixty days; to have
hearing at the expiration thereof on n writ
of habeds corpus. Probably the excitement
with respect to him in indianapolis is the
moving reason of the change of vicinage."
IL Freeman is to be removed from this
place, it will be n great outrage. There is
no necessity of any such removal. There
are some Union-saving llunkers who would
like TO provoke violence if they could. They
would rejoice, we have no doubt, to SEQ a
riot hut It they get up one, we are certain
they will have to get it up on their own hook.
| The friends of Freeman have no other desire
than TO see fair trial the counsel of Free
man will make the Marshal such propositions
that he will receive the condemnation oi
every good citizen, IL he refuses all of them
and removes Freeman. We Are assured hc
will not remove him to-day. We shall en-
deavOr to advise our READERS how the matter
stands at the latest hour before going to
presss.
We notice that ht the recent State Tenn
perance Convention IN Rochester, attempts
