CASES UNDER THE FUGITIVE SLAVE
LAW--WHAT HAS THE NORTH
TO DO WITH SLAVERYf

Some seven or eight indictments are now pend
ing in the District Court Of the U. $. before Judge
Huntington, against individuals in Steuben coun-
ty, in this State, for harboring and concealng fu-
gitive slaves, and aiding and abctting in their
escape. The prosecutions, of course, are instltu-
ted under the act of 1850. The counsel for the
defendants (Nlcssrs. Geo. W. Julian, Orth and
Brackett) moved on Saturday to quash the indict-
ments, because, first, the State from which the
fugitives fed is not stated, second, the names OF
their claimants are not given, nor the names of the
fugitives, nor any other identity of the ofense
and third, that the indictments do not show the
claimants to have been in the active pursuit of the
fugitives -and their escape to have resulted from
the acts of the defendants which the law Of 1850
plainly cOntcmplates. We shall furnish our read
crs with the decision Of Judge Huntington upon
these points, or the substance Of it, next week.
The argument of the motion was closed on Mon.
day last
These cases are very peculiar. There is perfect
yagueness and uncertainty throughout. Almost
everything is I" TO the Grand Jurors unknown
No slave hunter followed the supposed fugitives
on to our soil. The whole business is Of northern
parentage and furnishes another proof Of the cor,
rupting power Of slavery over our people.
We have some anxiety to know the decision Of
the Court, especially upon the third point made
by the counsel for tue doiendants.-IadtdHG Free

ers that they did not plough deep enough.
