An Infamous omc1a,.

An exchange of last November says. Robert
Fee, of New Richmond, Ohio, was arrested on
the demand of Gov Powell of Kentucky. charged
with assisting slaves to escape from their masters
in Kentucky. Gov. MeGill has complied with the
requisition, and delivered up Fee to the tender
mercies of the shareholders. The exchange per-
tineutly asks by what authority Gov. MedilI sur
renders citizen of Ohio on such a charge.
We answer, by virtue Of the political serf don,
TO which he acknowledges allegiance-by virtue OF
his heartless fogyism-by virtue of the infamous
Baltimore Platform-by virtue of the behests of a
party unequalled in corruption and infamy-and in
utter defiance of a wholesome construction of law
and official duty, and in reckless disregard of right
and justice.
Let US remember this MediIl, the craven seri
of the slave system, and his aidsrs and abettors

Ga Wednesday morning last, smonson went
into the Bar-room at Griswold's, and called for
liquor to drink. Turner told him he should not
have any, because he had abused him few nights
before. Words ran high between them, mixed
with profanity and other epithets. S. was sit

t. stepped out of the bar and standing behind S.
struck him on the head with hickory cane, about
an inch thick at the largest end. He struck with
both hands-struck but one blow.
One of the witnesses at the Examining Court,
