The Convention of the friends Of the Maine
Law, held at the Court House, Saturday last,
was attended by substantial men from every coun.
ty, who seemed to be inspired by common feel
ing and purpose; and that to strike an effectunl
blow for the Maine Law this Fall. The discus
sions were animated, extending through nearly half
of the day. Messrs. Sperry, Sawyer, Ming, Will
son, Weld, Voris, Guodhue, Schuyler, Berry,
Hadley, Robinson, Edgerton and Teesdale. partic-
ipated in them. They were called forth by prop
ositions looking to nomination for the legislature,
by the friends of the Maine Law. Many seemed
to feel that it was desirable the Convention Of Sat
urday should make nomination; that unless the
initiatory movement of the campaign was made by
the friends of Temperance, there was danger that
party feeling would prevent hearty union among
them in favor of reliable and undisguised friend
of the Maine Law. A proposition to nominate
forthwith. was warmly urged. and evidently en-
listed the feelings of many of the delegates ftom
other towns. On the ground that no formal no.
tice had been given of purpose 10 nominate ON
Saturday last motion to postpone, and to hold
Nominating Convention on Friday next,was made
and finally prevailed; thus giving an opportunity TO

ty, to up fully advised of the duty imposed

Slave Rescue.

A slave rescue occurred in Pittsburgh on the
IItll inst. Information was received in the morn
ing, that man would arrive in the seven O'Clock
train from Cincinnati, with four saves--a mother
and three children-which he had kidnapped in
Missouri. Several "friends of the slave" therefore
kept watch at the station. The information
proved true. The gentleman and his eoored prop
erty were on board the cars.
Accordingly, while he was looking around in
search of cab, the rescuers seized the woman
and children, put them into furniture car, and
hurried them off beyond pursuit. They are now
supposed to be on the road 10 Canada.
