LETTER FROM INDIANA.

FRIEND MARlus: 1t is pleasant to look back at
times, as it brings to mind past scenes, and some
what better days, especially better days Of this
slavepolluted Government. Some sixty-seven years
ago the then fathers of the Model Government
passed the Ordinance of 'S7, making the Territory
Northwest of the Ohio river free territory, that
no slave should clank his chains there This was
in its pamest days. What has our nation been
from the first, but nation Of compromisers? 1t
be ,au it in its infancy, and it seems likely to hold
on. This | should not feel disposed to grumble at
if freedom got the ascenlancy in her conflicts with
slavery but alas, poor freedom has to 60 begging
nowadays in this boasted land of freedom In
day it is deplorable to the utter dcgcneracy
of the -prostituted to sustain the
fouest institution known amongst men, and yet
boasingof its civilization christianity and freedom
The people are taken aback at the passage of the
Nebraska bill. The generality of them did not
think there any danger of its passage, yet the
better informed saw that there was danger. 1t is
impossible to conceive the depth to which some
have sunken, when they advocate the acquisition
Of Cuba, as a means Of putting down the African
slave trade that it is the will of Providence that
this Government shall wrest Cuba from Spain to
put stop to that nefarious traffic and this, too
coming from Democratic class-leader in the
Methodist Church. o. what q nation of freemen
lars and hypocrites are We! Christian nation !!
What libel on purity and love! My friend, it
seems to me that such sentiments as the above ex-
hbt a depth of degradation that the bottom has
unfortunately slipped out Of.
But the passage of the Nebraska bill is not the
only measure that the saveocracy have in prepara-
ton for freedoms bitter as it was there are assur
ances that this is only the lightning.
Although never had any acquaintance with
j. W. Walker, yet his death affected me much, as
knew what his loss would be to the poor, down
trodden bondman The truth made him bold this
admired much. 1t will be long time before
there will be Il successor to him. But will stop.
l remain thy friend, and the friend of the down
trodden portion of humanity.

YOUNG PEOPLES CONVENTION.
New LISBON, June %, 1854.

NtN bisbONj ouHc lcof.
DEAR MARIus: We read with great pleasure the
call in the last Buglc for Young Peoples Con-
vention. We rejoice to hear that our young friends
are awake to their coming responsibility. For
there is great field open before us; on every
hand oppression and ignorance stalk unblushingy
forth.
The great contest between truth and filschood
liberty and slavery, must be fought, and those
who have heretofore marched in the van of the
fight, are one by one called to that state of pure
mentality, there to enter upon other and higher
duties, there needs must be ready and willing
to bear the glorious standard on till our beautiful
earth shall be made radiant with that fullness of
peace, joy and love- which angels feel.
Then let us assemble together en- mass, disrc-
garding the idea of popularity, throwing off all the
bonds of sect and crceds, adopt for our motto,
''Give Inc liberty give me DEATH" liberty in its
broadest sense, physical, mental and spiritual, and
while VIC work for he three million slaves let us
also work for the hundred million in mental bond
age.
Coming with such feelings as these, we cannot
fail to be interested and benefited, and when we
return to our bones we shall feel that we have in
deed had good meeting.

THE FUGITIVE CASE IN CINCINNATI.

It appears that on Sunday night the llth a
party of negroes named Shadrack, aged Go years,
claimed hy Jonas Crislcr; Susan, his wife, %
years Of age, and two boys, Wesley and John, .
and years of age; Almcda, aged 26 years, and
her child Sarah Jane, aged years Lewis, aged
q years. all Of whom, except chadrack, were
claimed by VIM Walton. Lee, aged 2l years,
husband of Amelia, claimed by John Gaines, as
guardian of Elizabeth Ann and Jasper Backen-
becker; Anderson, aged % years, claimed by Johr
j. Scott-leit their houses near Burlington, in
Boone County, KY, and placing some of theiI
baggage on the backs Of three of Mr.. Walton's
horses the fugitive party started for the Ohio Rv-
er, and arrived at Il point nearly opposite Law
rcncebrre.
Starting the horses back toward their home the
lugitives took skiff and rowed themselves across
the river arriving on free soil about - O'Clock on
Sunday night. They then started with their faces
to the north, and after travelling about two miles
and half, they took refuge under clump of trees
during the day AS soon as the shades of night
came on the fugitves left their hiding-places and
started again. They had not proceeded far before
they met q colored man, named John Gyser, who
promised to assist them in making their escape to
the North. They accompanied him to Il stable on
Mr. Ifumes farm, Lick Run turnpike, about q
miles from the city, where they were TO remain
until evening, when he would return with assist
ance to aid them in reaching Canada. During the
the day Gyser visited CGvington and hearing that
reward of 81 900 was offered for their apprchen-
sion and arrest, he gave the information.
In the evening number of Kentuckians sur
rounded the premises Of Mr. Humes, while the
L. S. Deputy Marshal, and Deputies of Cincinnati
went into the stable and arrested them upon a
warrant issued by U. S. Commissioner Pendry.
The fugitiyes were handcufed and brought to Gin
cnnati in an omnibus. At the last accounts from
Cincinnati they were under examination and ii
was supposed they would be surrendered, as the
proof Of ownership was pretty clear.
They were subsequently surrendered by the
Commissioner, and taken back to Kentucky, with
out opposition or excitement.

SOUTHERN METuODIsN AND SLAvERY.-The Gen
eral Conference of the NJ. +. Church. South has
cxpunged the section on slavery we'll as all
other parts Of the book of Discipline which con-
denim slavery.
4 motion to strike out the General Rule had 65
yeas to 43 nays. 1t failed for lack of u two third
vote. Seven more would have done it.
They however voted by % to 10 that this rule
relates only to the African Slave trade. Thus by
an almost unanimous vote declaring that there is
nothing i'll their Discipline that condemns the hor-
rible traffic in slaves, which is carried on in the
Southern States. This however was long ago de-
clared by DR.. Bond, of New York, to be the fact
But these Southerncrs go in for the African slave
trade by Gj to i43. For % of them declare that
this rule refers exclusively to 'the slave trade as
prohibited by the Constitution and laws of the
United States" And yet they came within votes
of striking out the prohibition and allowing their
members the delectable privilege of stealing slaves
in Africa as well stealing them from their moth
ers as they do with imputiny according TO DR.. FL
liot, of Cincinnati.
The Nashville Wig says, that the General Con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South
at its last session, with but one dissenting toice,
determined to expung from the Book of Discipline
all those passages that condemn slavery" The
Wing adds:
Such action was demanded by the very principle
on which tho Southern Methodist separated from
the North, and it was demanded by the general
feeling and conviction of the congregation of the
Church South. This action crowns with consis-
iency the position of the Church, and viii give
them a new element of harmony and strength
among themselves and fresh claim to the respect
of the whole Southern people.
