UNLAWFUL DETAIN6R.

Mr., Rib related story the other day which
amused us very much and we presume it will do
50 likewise to our readers
a Fugitive now living in Canada, was keeping
n BARRIERS shop in Toledo year or two ago.
Suddenly one night he was seized by couple OF
officers 0f the government, accompanied by the
man. who by the laws Of heutucky-ond oLo by
the laws Of the United States, which are operative
in Toledo, where tie Kentucky statutes are not
held our friend as a cnattcl.
Morning came, after an anxious night; and hope
seemed to die in the hearts of the hunted fugitive
friends but he was a keen fellow and decidedly
smarter intellectually as well as physically than
two constables and kcntuckian The time for
the court come and he was brought before one the
50 commits sioucr who so honor our nationality and
corify rcpuhlicouism. The commissioners heard
the depositions and was about to pass him over 10
the possession Of the Kcntuckian when the Fugi-
tive demanded counsel. lie said he had n right to
it, and must have it; and that lac could demonsrate
his freedom if any opportunity were allowed him.
OF course the court could not refuse. lie was per-
mittcd to 20 out, accompanied by the two officers,
20 procure counsel Arrived at the door Of the
lawyer whom he had chosen to defend him, they
went in. the white men FIRST, IF corJsc; for pro
slavery etiquette would not allow negro to preccdc

would not allow him TO foho,- For as soon as
they were fairly the Threshold, he following
closely, pulled to the door, turned the key, and
Immediately demonstrated his fugitive" propcn
sitics.
1t was a most unlawful procedure! No less than
direct insult to the majesty Of the National Gov
crnmcnt, in the presence Of two legally constituted
representatives OF its executive authority. But the
lawless follow utterly dsregarded these solemn
considerations, and to the imminent peril Of the
Union cmigratcd forthwith to Canada. Meanwhile,
three impatient prisoners, two officers and an at
torney, detained in direct violation Of the Statute
Of Ohio, made and provided for the protection of
The persons of officers in the discharge of their
duties, raised general racket in the law Office,

iail delivery was finally effected, our fugitive friend
didn't stop to see.

themselves. Don't thcy?--Detroh Democrat.

though profcssedly standing so high as to be be-
yond the reach Of all such corrupting influences, is
very pcrccptbly affected by it at tie present time.
There IS evidently an influence at work in their
ranks, at this timc, which will tend directly to
lower their platform, and cause their organization
to rctrograde, or Mt least prevent them from ma
king any further advancement for length of time.
We allude TO the desire on the part Of n portion
LOT the Free Democracy, TO fuse or unite with the
Nhig party, because they hope TO acquire strength

cause they still cherish considerable love and re-

attempts thus to gain strength, they very unac-

SHAREHOLDERS TO REPRESENT FREEMEN.-The

Senator Bright from that state is a Stakeholder

he owns a large plantation which is well stocked
with negroes There is nothing is Senator B. s
public action touching slavery that casts doubt
upon the statement, for that conduct has been ut
terly and shamelcssly pro-sloyery. Senator Dou-
glass, the (ycry) Little Giant" of Illinois is an
other illustration ofthc representation of nomin-
ally free State by Stakeholder. How many like
instances a full knowledge of the circumstances Of
Northern members Of Congress would disclose, We
cannot tell but these enough to prove how fatal
ly slavery has sent its poison through the veins Of
the North.

A FooTE DOWN IN The BOOTS.

FooTE has written and published his funeral ora
ton, We cannot find room for it without excluding
better matter lie says that his political death has
oycrtakcn him unexpectedly. lie had no doubt he
should have got back to the Senate, and We dare
say he expected to have lived to good old age
therein This is natural. Most people are overta-
ken by death before they anticipate it. lie inti-
mates that If lie had been inclined to bargain and
dckcr for the place, he might have bought his way
back but that he thought the Office of Senator too
elevated and dignifed for that. We conjecture
that he feared bis SIN would fntf him n@out. And
We infer from his remarks that il the position had
been a humble one, he would have had no scru
pies on this score. Foote thanks the people Of Mis-
sissippi for what they have done for him. We
thank them, too. But question the taste OF
Foote'S doing it. This being thankful for being
elected to stay at home by a who likes to be in
Office well Footc, is to be thankful for re,y
small favor. But Footo is peculiar man. lie al
ways was. He must be considered a funny man,
also for no one cxcites more mirth. And he ney-
cr provokes more laughter than when he is the most
solemn. Who can forget his serious naming OF the
day and the hour for dissolution of the Union
The man really thought at one time that he had the
Union in his individual keeping, and one day de-
clared he could not keep it together past coming
Saturday afternoon at four, ii Congress did not
come to his aid Congress was busy in the Com
mttce rooms and elsewhere and could net come
and Footc by an horcucan effort, took it over into
the next week At least, he thought he did. Alas
that he could save the Union but could not save him
self! lie is run under in Mississippi. The repud
ators have rcrudiated him. lie is no longer any
more current than Mississippi bond.
We bid an afectionatc adieu to the ex-senator
until the next time he turns up. lie will certainly
be along soon with something supplementary to his
funeral Grafton. He never yet delivered dis
course or u speech that he did not follow with one
twice as long to explain it. Henry, al proir!
