LIBERTY OR DEATH.

The practical Patrick ltenrys are more numer-
than people are aware of. An instance OF the
most daring and courageous attempt to obtain the
boon of liberty has iust como to our knowledge
The steamship Keystone State, which arrived at
this port on Saturday morning, had just entered
Delaware Bay, when q man was discovered secre-
ted outside the vessel and under the guards
When brought from his hiding place, he was found
TO be fugitive slave who had secreted himself
there before the vessel left Savannah on Wodnes-
day, and had remained in that place from the time
of starting His position was such that the water
swept over and around him almost constantly
lie had some bread in his pocket which he had in
tended for subsistence until he coould reach land
of liberty. 1t was saturated with sea water and
dissolved to pulp. When our readers remember
the high winds of Friday, and the sudden change
to cold during that night, and the fact that the fu
gitiye had remained in that situation three days
and nights we think it will be conceded that he
fully earnedhis liberty and that the institution"
which was so intolerable, that he was willing to
run the risk of almost certain death, to escape from
it, had no very great attractions for him.
Tut the poor man was doomed to disappointment.
The Captain ordered the vessel to put into New
Castle, where the fugitive, hardly able to stand,
was taken to Jail, where he now awaits the order
Of his owner in Savannah Philadelphia Reg.
What language can express the adherence which
all human hearts must feel, at the dastardly con-
duct of that Captain and his accomplices. How is
il possible he could send this hero back to chains,
from which he had escaped through such danger
and suffering? How does slavery eradate hu-
man sympathy, and obliteratc all magnanimous
and noble sentimentsH The knowledge of his he
roism and fortitude should have commanded one
universal burst of admiration, and secured for him
for life, that liberty he priced so highly, 1t would
have effected this on any other hearts, than those
on which slavery had done its foulest work Such
men are ready for any vilainy.
The following from the Pa. Freeman. contains
some additional particulars We rejoice to Learn
from it that the fugiiveis likely escape from sla

supposed to be olave, to escape from Savannah,
Georgia. on board the steamship Keystone State,
which arrived here early on Saturday morning
Since then the facts Of the case have been ascer-
tanned to he as follows;
The Keystone State left Savannah at Q o'clock
on Wednesday morning, tho 9th inst AT about
the same hour the next morning, while heaying
the Lead the men heard n voice from under the
guards of the boat, calling for them to throw him
rope. They found that the voice proceeded from
la coored man concealed ON beam under the
guards of the whecl-house On rcscuing him from
his porilous situation, he found to be much cx-
haustcd his clothes were saturated with sca-wa-
ter, as tho had bocomc rough and he was dipped
in the water at every rock of the vessel. The
hands on the boat furnished him with dry suit
and made him comfortable, when he gave the fol-
lowing account of himself.
/ His name is Edward Davis; ho is q native oi
Milford Delaware, and used to live in this city
his mother and sisters still live here. About two
years ago two white men persuaded him to 90 with
them TO Baltimore from there they took him tt
Richmond Va, and thence to Charleston Soutl
Carolina lie had been with them about two
years; they paid him So month but advised hin
to call himself their slave. They had never oicrc(
to sell him, but he could not get away from them
lie determined to make his escape by stratagem
and with this view he went to Savannah, where h,
secreted himself under the guards Of the Kcyston,
as already described
Captain IIardc, the commander Of the boat
fearing the effects Of Georgia law in case he shoul
bring slave to n free State, ordered his vessel t
put in to New Castle, Del, where he had the mai
imprisoned, with the intention Of taking him bacl
to Savannah on his return trip.
These are the facts Of the case so far ns the
have as yet transpired. Measures have been take
to have the poor fellow brought before Judge Booth
in New Castle, on q writ of habeas corpus, an
witnesses will be produced TO verify his statements
There is no danger, we apprehend, Of the man be
ing sent back to Georgia TO be made a slave Of
The Registers account Of the case produced
deep sensation in the community and excited
lively feeling of sympathy with the poor sufTere
Large sums were spontaneously oheredby diH'erei
: persons for the purpose Of purchasing the man
freedom if he should prove q slave, or Of othe
c wise preventing his return TO bondage.
/ The sufiorings that this poor fellow submitted I
and the perils he encountered, show how much

THE OHIO SENATE AND wo MANS
''vI f RIGHTS. f

last week the Ohio Senate refused 20 refer to n
special Committee the petitions for granting equal
property and political rights to women. On the
nest day, after this decision, MIS- Severance, Of
Cleveland, appeared Lefure the Senate, bearing the
signatures Of 1000 petitioners for this object and
asked permission to read memorial in their be-
half. This intrepidity on the part of Mrs. S. was
rewarded as it deserved to be, with success, far
ne hearing was concerned. The Senate listened
to her address with respectful attention. The
memorial was laid upon the table, and ordered to
be printed
OHIO SENATE AND THE CoLoRED PEOPLE
Tuesday Of last week, DR.. Townsend asked o
the Senate hearing for j. NJ. Langston, n
bearer Of q memorial in behalf of the cooret
people. This request was refused. Speaking 0
this refusal, the Alicncl American says
when it is recollectcd, Of what rights the col
ored people Of Ohio have been, and are by law, dc
prived, how they arc driven from the Ballet Box
shut out Of the Jury Box, laboring under partia
School law shut out from the Poor House, am
from oil the State Benevolent Institutions, and ye
taxed their full quota for tho State Government
expenses, including the support of these very IN
stitutions from which they arc cxcluded--and whe
it is remembered that the colorcd people help pa
the salaries Of the State Senators and Representi
tives, II would have been supposed that n smpl
request for hearing, made by howsoevor humbl
IN individual would have been promptly granted
And especially, when only short time since, ce
tain females were permitted to present a mcmoric
and address the same legislature.
But not so. The reasonable, democratic n
quest Of a hearing in defence Of the memorial icC
refused
This is all Of piece with the rccinding Of tn
Resolution admitting Reporter for tho coloro
peoples organ--the Aieled American
"Mr. LANosToS was in the Hail. expecting,
course, to speak, but, notwithstanding, the Sona
tho very Democratic Senatc-refused-and Il
delegation. so says the Statesman, left the Hall.
Judge LEE screwed his courage up to givin
what he would call n reason for denying the roques
made so properly, by DR.. TOWNSEND lie said tn
colored people are represented in Senator Tow
sRND--thath he could say we'll what they desired
present The Judge seemed to forget that th
was not urged when the ladies asked to speak
the same body And yet they are as much reprt
sentod as are colored men"
Very well, gentlemen 60 on--we can stand
awhile ifyou can There are some Uotes bchir
nll these propositions which you refuse to count
nancc.-And it may bo, we shall "laugh Mt 90,

.MESSRS. GIDDINGS, WADE AND TIE HOME
STEAD BILL.

Some Of the Democratic papers Of the Reserve,
whose editors are sufficiently unprincpled to 60 for
the Kansas-Nebraska fraud, and who are doing
their utmost to defraud the public in regard to it,
are terribly Mortified that Messrs. Giddings and
Wade did not vote for the Homestead Bill. To
these cavilers, Mr. Giddings replies in note in the
Ashtabula Sentinel, as follows:
p. S. / notice some democratic papers arc
troubled in consequence Of Mossrs. Giddings and
Wado's not yotingon the Homestead Bill. | nee
not say that policy was literally the policy
Of the free democracy as originally adopted Al
Buffalo, and that other political party dared
to adopt it Gs measure.
The object was to give land to the ldndiess, but
on motion of q democrat from Pennsylvania, the
bencvolence of the bill was limited to persons Of
certain com plerioa, and by democratic committee
It's provisions were extended to comprehend the
millionairos who already own thousands Of acres
Of Cons domain this | suppose they will call dem
locratic. ] call it aristrocratic, and had / been
present should have voted against the bill and
so would Mr.. Wade.
Again the bill will admit no German or Irish
man to share the benefits of its provisions whC
comes to this country hereafter, indeed any nov
here, who have not at this time filed their declara
ton Of citizenship, until they shall have been nat
uralized citizens. The filing of declaration o.
citizenship with the oath &c. is not sufficient to en-
title them to share of Gods earth under that bill
Now can hardly suppose that any man acquainted
with either Mr.. Wade or Giddings would expco
them to vote for such bill?
Yet with these absurdities it is regarded by mer
calling themselves democrats as great adyanc,
ON their former policy. But they must taxi
another step before they can be received into fol
lowship with those who love mankind better thai
political parties.
