New York Legislature.

The Lennon case is attracting some attention
in the New York Legislature Resolutions we're
introduced on the subject which were deemed
quite too favorable to freedom, when motion
was made to substitute for them the resolutions
Of the Baltimore Democratic Convention. In
view Of the servility manifested, 1t was well re-
marked by one of the members, that the sole
difficulty now was, not to meet the wants of the
slave owners, but Of their northern friends
The South found no fault with Judge Paine's
decision. 1t was only Northern lackcys who
were troubled because slavery has not in this
case triumphed over freedom and state law.
A series of resolutions was also introduced
expressing sympathy with, and solicitude for
Francisco and Rosa Madial in their imprison-
ment. (These persons have been for long
time imprisoned in Tuscany for the crime Of
reading tho scriptures One of the series Of
resolutions was the following:
Resolved, (if the Assembly concur,) That
the President of the United Suites be respect
fully requested to exert his best influence
with the government of Tuscany, to obtain rs
favor asked by people which welcomes
all strangers, and protects all religions, per-
mission for the Madiai, and all their fellow
prisoners for the same offence, to emigrate to
this country.
What brazen hypocricy and unparalleled
falsehood ! This people welcoming the Madai !
This nation the champion of bible reading =
The government of Tuscany has imprisoned one
man and woman for this, but it has done it ac-
cording to the laws, and by means of the exc
cutors OF her law. 1t is only the government
that imprisons and Furnishes for this offence
against Ignorance. Bad enough, to be surc.-
But no comparison with what VIC have ut home,
where more than three millions are committed
without law or restraint, to the caprice and
cruelty of individuals, who may and do Aog,
mprison, and torture with thumb screws and
branding irons, for reading the bible and spell
ling book. To master the alphabet is the climax
Of crime for each one OF these millions and is
so regarded and treated. And then the New
York Legislature asks the President to inform
the Tuscan Government that We welcome all
strangers and protect all religions"

GRAHAM's MAGAZINE for February has
been received. The January number never
came TO hand, and we had concluded that for
some cause, Graham had cut our acquaint-
euce. One of the illustrations is called
"The Carpet of Solomon" 1t is beauti-
fully executed picture, and the "carpet"
would of itself been very well, if the old
sensualists who sits upon it, in daIiance with
one of his wives or concubines, had been ou,
of sight. In justice to the picture we must
THAT it makes this reputedly wsest ofmen,
look as stupid as we should suppose man
would, with such numerous relations.
1t contains also a very flippant pro-slavery
article entitled "Bnck Letters on Uncle
Tom-Foolery in Literature" A considera-
BILE part of the article, is devoted to killing
criticism of Uncle Toms Cabin. One per-
haps equivalent, (who can tell, to an injunc-
ton upon the sales of Messrs. Jeweu & Co.,
and upon all foreign spectators in the Cab
in. The remainder is mainly devoted to a
rather favorable notice of one of the numer-
Gus answers 10 the same. From the spleen
of the article we might suppose the writer
the author Of one of these unsuccessful re-
plies, but that he protests 50 strongly against
this whole batch of "black literature." His
coloropbobia rages with such furor, that we
must acquit him of that charge. The article
is very comprehensive one, besides the
criticisms above referred to it manages to try
and condemn the sentiments and measures
of all classes of aboitionists, English and
American, male aud female-administerin
to all and each quantum sufiicit, of good
ndvice especially in regard to the poor blacks
of the North-the poor factory girls of New
and the starving poor of Old England. 1t
advocates colonization and manages also to
present all the thread bare arguments against
abolition aud in favor of slavery that have
been urged from the first day of the Liberia
tor to the present time. But they are just as
good as though they had never been answer
ed and why should not they be reyamped and
republshedl - .~ .-t

Slave Extension.

The friends of slavery in the free states
are moving TO secure its introduction within
their borders. The proposition is that cili-
zens of slave holding states may hold them
in transit. Last week we noticed Governor
Bigler's recommendation TO this effect, aud
now it is said that individuals in New York
and Ohio are moving in the same direction.
Bills have been offered in the legislatures of
these three states for this purpose. We think
there is justice aud self respect enough in
Ohio TO prevent the passage of any such
law. The True Democrat says:
Pennsylvania is uncertain, but as for New
York and Ohio, movements of this character
will not he sustained except by those bruised
or brutnIized in nature. The people of ne.
ther Of these States will tolerate the tondy-
ism so popular at Washington, nor the ser
Witty so blasting to Northern manhood.
They will laugh at the brainless folly of the
movers in this matters, and only forget the
stupendous magnitude of the crime because
of the known stupidity of the criminals.

ReiributiOn.

Mrs. Southworth, we believe it was. wrote
novel called Retribution." The following
paragraph details a case of retribution without
fiction. A case not strange or wonderful, but
one that comes as naturally and surely from
slavery, as light from the sun or rain-drops from
the clouds. 1t is this terrible and natural re-
tributon which makes towards of southerness
and with its terrors would drive them to emsn-
cipation, but for that wicked partnership Of the
North with them in their crime, which inter-
poses the whole power of the government for
its protection. The Massachusetts Spy says;
We learn from the Brandon Miss Repub-
lican, that a tragical affair occurred. in tho
southwestern portion of Rankin county, on.
the 18Th ult. William Williams, planter,
living on Richland Creek, had recovered tho
possession of slave named George, who had
been a runaway. On .his return, he chas-
tised the man with brutal severity, and con-
fined him with chain. During the night,
the slave by some means released himself
from his confinement, and vingrobiained
possession of an axe, he inflicted two severe
blows on the head of his tyrsnt. Hesmade
his escape the same night, and had not al the
last accounts been arrested, though COM
pany were in pursuit OF him. Williams died
the next day of his wounds.

VOL. 8
Maine Law in Rhode Island.

Our readers are probably all aware that this
law has been pronounced unconstitutional
This decision has been made, not by the courts
of the the State, they unanimously affirmed its
constitutionality. but by Judge Carts Of the
United States District Court This. decision
works direct reversal Of the will Of the people
of Rhode Island. They, by the election Of the
Legislature which passed the law, decided de-
cisiycly the question for rthemselves. The Leg
islature in obedience to that decision, passed the
law by large majority. And now steps in tho
Federal Court and declares the constitution the
powerful and legitimate guardian of the rum
traffic. For our own part we don't know
whether Judge Curtis logic be right or wrong,
and we don't care for it, except that it will ex-
tend rum trading with all its attendant crimes
and sufferings. But this we do know, that no
thing could be more in character. than that the
constitution or the government which is the
especial patron and protector Of the traffic in
men, women and babes, should also in like
manner stand the especial guardian Of the rum
trader.
Mr.. Greene the New York liquor dealer, has
been more successful in introducing rum tra-
ding into Rhode Island, over the heads of the
people, their laws and their courts, than was
the famous Mr.. Lennon in his attempts to i'm
troduce slaveholding into New York. Whoth-
er as matter of private speculation, he will
also have the advantage, remains to be seen.

On Sunday last Mr.. Tiffany closed his Sc. .
ries Of Lectures in the Town Hall in this
place. The addresses were ten in number
and embodied much of original thought and
radical truth, which cannot fail TO he OF SER
vice to his hearers, whatever may be true of
his philosophy. We hardly know how to
characterize those of his lectures, which es-
pecally pertnined TO the spiritual philosophy.
They embodied beautiful theory, connect-
ing the present and the pust with the future.
Whatever others may think Of its truth, the
author, evidently more than believes in il

importance of his views, and seeks 10 extend
them with an earnestness that will secure for
him the respect of all who witness his ef-
forts. lie has gone from here to Coluinbians.

fifteen or twenty men, got admission, closed ths

no funds.
He finally succeeded in finding couple Of
