The llrn, l2Tu, AND l3rn OF APRIL, 1854
To THE FRIESDs OF IMPARTIAL FREEDOM; In
sending out this our Fourth Annual Call for a.
gathering Of those who hate oppression and love
justice, We deem the urging Of any reasons for so
doing wholly unnecessary. The importance of
frequent meetings Of the friends Of this cause, for
delibcration, counsel and encouragement is well
understood as is also, the utility of Conventions
for pouring Anti-Slavery truth upon the hearts Of
the people. We will only say that, since our last
Annual Convention deeds have been done in our
Midst that warn not to relax our efforts.
Our city, until within the past year free from the
deep disgrace Of having sent back poor fugitive
to his chains, under the Fugitive Slave Act, now
stands doubly degraded
The Constitutional rights of onr colored citizens
to protection have been officially outraged. By q
decision Of one of four Judges upon the Bench, they
have been told that they are be supposed slaves
until they have proved their freedom and the
kidnappor, that he has nothing to fear from legal
justice ifhis victim has free papers in his pock.
ct. Thus, virtually, is Ohio madea Slave State.
During the past year our State has been more
than used as hunting-ground, free to all who
chose to run upon the trail of the poor black man
and if the efforts now being made by the Slaevo-
Gratis of Congress are successful, not foot of the
soil of the United States but may soon be troddcn
by slave.
And still come waited to us, on every breeze
that sweeps over our beautiful river the sighs and
groans of fmillions Of our countrymen, upon whose
dreary earthly condition Hope scarce sheds one
ray of light.
Among the places in which Anti-Slavcry Con.
ventons should be held Cincinnati is prominent,
Considering its loeation-ts adaptation to the rad
iating of the light Of Anti-Slavery truth the
darker parts of our land-a more important point
can hardly be found and the success that has
attended the efforts that have been made here
attests that there is not more promising field.
We do, thcn, earnestly invite all who agrco with
US that Slavery is a crime dgaast God and man,
and are willing faithfully to labor for its abolition
whatever other differences may exist among us, to
come together again in Convention TO deliberate
upon the great work We have to do. And our
platform will be free to all, whether friends or
opponents, who desirecandidy to discuss the great
principles of the Anti-Slavery enterprise.
Confding in tho blessing of Almighty God.
promised to every true and right effort, We hope to
make an impression upon tho moral atmosphere
that shall vibrae to the extreme verge of slave
holding territory.

TnE PEACE MISSIONARIES Surge and
two other English Quakers, are now on mission
of peace to the Court of St. Petersburgh. They
have had an interview with the Gar, of which we
find the following account in the papers;
"Thc members of the Society Of Friends, who
were sent out here mission Of peace, had
yesterday an audience Of His Majesty, who re.
ceiyed them graciously, and gave full hearing to
what they had to say. They were afterward in
Olga. Whether their mission will be crowned with
success they cannot say as yet. We are now of
opinion that war with England and France will
bo inevitable, but nothing certain is yet known
here"

Rev. Norris DAY, who has some months resided
in Kentucky, was arrested in Indiana, some three
or four weeks since, at the instance Of kentuck-

aged however to escape his captors. That they
might again make him n more easy prey, the kid
nappers have reported the vlest ISLANDERS concern
ing him. To counteract these statements, Mrs.
Day has published communication in the Ashta-
bula Sentinel, denying their truth, and giving a
history Of the residence of her husband in Ken
lucky. Tbecharge Of aiding poor fugityes if true,
Is an act Of righteousness for which God and all
just men will honor him, however, Kentuckians
may rage, or the government punish him therefor.
We trust he will continue to elude the vengeance of
his prosecutors, especially if he has had the cour-
age to render himself obnoxious to kidnapping

ing only made practical developement of the
christian precept, and of humanity. But it is the
practise of this nation to punish practical chris
tianity as crime, and to visit with fine and i'm

human beneyolence.

"A colored man was recently found on board
the Julia Dean, bound from Charleston to New
York. When discovered he was put ON board Of the
bark Jeddo bound to Charleston, and returned to
slavery.
The Springfield Telegraph says that family
of four slaves arrived in that town on Monday last
on the ir way to Canada. They escaped from Vir-
gina, several weeks since. The eeitzens of Spring
field contributed supply of material aid for them
ald furnished them with n new conductor for the

fifty head Of horses and mules were driven across

One of the saddest things about human nature
is, that man may guide others in the path of life
without walking in It himself-a pilot, and yet a
cast away.

OYERSEERISM.

Mr.. Cutting Democratic Hard Of New York,
as our readers will remember, was the man to move
,ho reference of the Scuatc's Nebraska Bill, to the
Committee Of the Whole in the House of Reprcsen-
tatiyes he also made a very temperate speech, not
against the bill ITSELF but against Of its pro-
visions. lie evidently desired n discussion Of the
bill and to prevent hasy 6nal action, MS its leading
friends desired. But this an offence to be Wis
tied with the oyerseers lash, for this he was pub
licy insultcd, and compelled to bear the stigma OF
coward among towards, or bravo duel. Thus it
was designed to administer some wholesome ad-
montion to boiling Democrats. lie WHO would not
provoke the basest insult or brave a duel, must
vote for slavery as the oyorsccrs should dictate.
The challenge was passed, and rumors of fght,
OF wounds, and even Of fatal termination, of the
affair. were rife few days since. But it has all
been settled the following from the congressional
proceedings Of Friday last will show
Mr.. Preston last Friday rose and said: 1t is vei
in tho memory Of this House, that the debate whcA
recently occurred between Mr.. Cutting Of New
York, and Mr.. Breckenridge, Of Kentucky, was
marked by personalities.
The character Of the debate led to some discus.
sion of its features outside of the walls of this
House.
So far as Mr.. Cutting is concerned, he referred
the matter in controversy to his friends Col. Mon
roe, of New York, and General Shields, United
States Senator from Illinois
SO far ms Mr.. Breckenridge is concerned, he re-
ferred the matter to Col. Hawkins of Kentucky,
and myself.
am authorized by these gentlemen to state that
the matter in controversy has been settled in a
manner mutually satisfactory, and we conceive
honorable to both gentlemen who were engaged in
that debate. l have another duty to perform on
bohalf of these gentlemen, and that is rs they
have violated in debate the rules of order estab
lshed for the government Of the House, they cx
press mutual regret that any such occurrence ha,
taken place, and ask its indulgence as body, foi
its occurrence. 1t is a source Of qualification foi
these gentlemen who make strong promise Of iu
turc usefulness to the country, and who already
admired by large circle Of friends that this mat
ter has been adjusted in manner am entirely
convinced satisfactory tonll their friends. thanh
the House for their attention.

PRISONERS, WAGES.

II seems to ne, that pcnitentiary conyicts arc
treated barbarousy and unjusty in regard to their
labor and its results That they should pay their
own expenses while in the pententiary, is right
enough. But that they should like slaves, be
hired out to unprincipled spectators whose interest
it i7 to wiring the utmost farhng's worth of labor
from their sinows, while their families suffering
from hunger and nakedness at home, is unjust and
discrcditablo to the State. And yet this, wo be-
ieve is the custom Of most Of the penientaries Of
the country.
We find in the Carson League, the following on
the subject:
"The State, certainly, has no right to rob the
prisoner Of his earnings, from the simple fact that
he may have forfeited certain privileges Of citizen
ship such being restrained Of his liberty, or de-
MED the right of suffrage 1t transcends the prov
inco Of civil government, rs it seems to us,
whenever the State attempts to increase its revenue
out Of the unpaid labor Of its subjects. Whatever
else the unfortunate prisoner may have forfeited
he certainly cannot have forfeited his right to prop
erty acquired by honest toll. Ills property rig IT.
here, is superior to that of the State--and It Ger
tanly adds nothing TO the justice Of the act, that
the State itself should conspire against the defence
less prisoner, shut out from the blessings of the
socal and political sphere.
" His claim VIC put upon the ground Of absolut,
and essential Justice. All the considerations anc
arguments that grow out Of the fact that the pris
oner may sustain domestic and flial relations onl
give intensity tn the justice of the proposition, ant
serve to show the fragrant wrong of deprivng tn
wife or the child Of the support due from the hus
band and the father But the assumption Of tn
State, claiming right to appropriate the avails o
the prisoners labor, is only equaled by the metho
adopted in disposipg of those avails. The labor o
the prisoner is disposed of like tho stocks o
l gpppulafpre in Wall Ia IL ro
garded in the strife of the specuator to make tn
most out Of his muscles and sinews as little bette
than working animal or degraded plantation
