By the United States Judge. The Milwaukee
Free Democrat gives full particulars of the ar
rest and rescue Of the alledged fugitive slave,
Joshua Glover. 1t says:
The slave-catcher, Deputy Marshal Carney,
of Racine, and Mr.. Holton, living IA miles
west of Racine-who toas expected to be next
Senator from that eounty-whom he had TAX
en- into his service, had been in consultation
for a week or two, as to the best means of
kidnapping Glover. Deputy Marshal Carney
had undert AIKEN to kidnap a small sized col
ored woman day or two previous, but she
presented horse pistol to his face, and told
him to make quick time or she would blow his
brains out-whereupon Carney put out and
ran for dear life.
Bafled by woman, the kidnapping gentry
planned a scheme to entrap Glover. They
got hold Of a miserable colored man, named
Tnrner, iquored him up, supplied him with
liquor and cards and sent him up to get Glover
drunk, and be on hand to open the door when
they came at night to take him.
Turner did as requested; got Glover into
the house of a colored neighbor; but Glover
drank sparingly. About o clock in the eve
ming, Deputy Carney, and Holton, of Racine,
the slave catcher, and his confreye, Marshal
Cotton, of this city, knocked at the door, The
owner said, ''Don't let us open the door till
we know who they are" But Turner, the
traitor, according to promise, rose and opened
the door, and they all rushed in and Deputy
Carney, with strong club, struck Glover on
his head, as he was sitting in his chair, and
felled him to the floor.
This was the first service or process made by
Deputy Marshal Carney, under the United
States authority. This club covered with
blood and hair from Glover's head, is in pos
session Of the friends of freedom, at Racine,
and will bel swift witness against the kidnap-
pers.
As soon as this event was known at Racine,
the bells were rung, and great excitement en-
sued. Parties started off in pursuit, and were
out all nigut, searching in different directions
When it was telegraphed to Racine, that GLOW
er had been lodged in jail, meeting of the
citizens appointed one hundred delegates to
proceed by steamboat to Milwaukee with the
Sheriff and warrant fer the arrest of Gardin-
er and his assistants for the assault on Glover.
When the Racine delegates arrived at Mil
wankie, body of 5000 men were in council,
and great excitement prevailed. The Democrat
says, ''the heart and voice of the multitude
were as the heart and voice of one man.
The Free Democrat says:--
sAs we were leaving, a rush was made for
the jail. A man quickly kicked in the outer
door, Pickaxes broke through the wall by the
side of the guard door, lined with iron and
strongly bolted, the eastgs were removed
and the door was soon opened, and in about
| fifteen minutes the prisoner was brought out
amid great cheering, placed in two horse
| buggy, and taken to Walkers Point bridge in
double quick time-the crowds in the streets
from the Court House to the bridge cheering
| him AT the bridge, Glover left this buggy
and took another, and soon disappeared.
Warrants were issued for Gardiner and the
Deputy Marshal, and the warrant was served
on the former. The latter was not to be
found. Judge Miller, of the U. s.. Court, is
sued writ of habeas corpus in behalf of the
kidnapper, and on Monday ordered him to be
discharged from the custody of the Sheriff by
whom he was held by due process for assault
ing and seriously wounding citizen in viola
ton of the laws of the State. The ground
of this decision of Judge Miller, the Free
Democrat says, was, in substance, that q
claimant of fugitive slave, armed with a
warrant of a U. S. Judge, may, under it, JUS
tify any act he may commit in securing his
alleged slave.
This interference by the U. S. Judge with
the execution of the State laws has caused
great excitement among the citizens of Mil
waukie.
The few hunkeys of the Government and
their retainers breathe out threatenings against
the rescuers and especially denounce the
editor Of the Free Democrat. 1t was propos-
ed to throw the press and type into the liver.
But the people generally look upon the rescue
with unmingled satisfaction as an evidence
that the fugitive slave law has been forever
repealed in Wisconsin.
