FROM INDIANA.

Hiram Rigg, writing from Vernon, Jennings
Co., Indiana, saysi
have travelled through Jennings and Ripley
counties, saw some beautiful, country and some
splendid farms. But the anti-slavery question is
considerably below par in this community. A fu-
gitve on being found in Vernon is pretty sure of
being returned to his master. Only two months
ago fugitive passing through was taken up and
given to his master, who was in the place. The
human bloodhound that did this deed is a citizen
of Vernon and is called moral respectable citizen.
lie received one hundred and fifty dollars for the
capture. The slave was cast into the county Jail
and kept there until his master was to leave for
Kentucky. He was then hand-cufed in the streets,
in view of the citizens, and the church in Vernon
dared not say a word against the iniquity. The
church is as dumb as the dumbest Of dogs Please

very seed.

We find the following among our clippings, but
cannot tell where it came from.
Old BULLION, on one of his journies to or from
Washington, whilst in the Senate, arrived at Gin
cinnat, with very good looking servant to attend
on him. While there two OF three days. his SER
want left him and lay concealed somewhere in the
city, intending when the noise about his leaving
the Senator was somewhat over, to go to Canada.
Mr. Benton was, at that time, so great favorte OF
the Democratic party that several of his political
parasites promised to have the servant brought
back to him and put into his hands if he desired it.
But he replied to these flatterers in language they
had seldom heard-"No, gentlemen" said he, ''l
brought him here, fully knowing that he was enti-
tied to his liberty should he claim it. But /
thought he would prefer remaining with me to 60
ing out free by himself l have been mistaken.
And how could !, Senator of the United States,
knowing his rights under the Constitution, and
sworn to support it, reduce this man-now a free
man, made so under this very Constituton--reduce
him again TO slavery. No, sirs, rather now than
throw any impedinent in the way of bis wishes,
would prefer forwarding them" This account, if
true, and we see no to dscredt it in the small
lest degree, does great honor to Mr.. Benton.
Yes, but it is not very credtabe to Mr.. Benton
that he still holds others in slavery without giving
them the like opportunity to choose their residence
as was afforded to this good looking servant True
the Constitution does not rs in this case give them
their freedom, but Justice does. The story illus.
trates well the pcmiciOus pro-slavery influence Of
our constitution. The constitution is placed above
God and liberty, and is supposed to be a sufficient
authority for the crime of enslaving human beings
by all classes By drunken and british Legrees-
by pious Doctors of Divinity and church members
by grave Democratic Senators, and all sorts Of un
prncipled politicians. 1t is practical dethrone
ment Of the Ruler of the Universe, and the abroga
tion of his most sacred laws.

LUCY STONE IN ST. LOUIS.

The following letter from Mrs. Gage will bo read
with interest:
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 81.
DEAR FRIESD:--Only to think of it. Lucy Stone
is here lecturing woman's Rights. Her hrss
lecture "on tho social position Of woman"-held
in the Mercantile Library Hall, it is said by
Of the people, was the largest meeting over gath.
cred in st. Louis. Others said not quite so large.
All the prominent dailies have given her fattcrinE
and honorable endorsement some in one column,
some in two, of fair, candid remark. Last evon-
ing still larger audience listened to her eloquenes.
on the legal and political position of women. Tho
house was thronged, and the most intense interest
manifested. ..t
Dec. 27.-one week has gone by since writing
the above. Lucy lectured FIVE evenings to good au.
dences, and was throughout well received. A
fearful rumbling is heard among the dry bones Of
the past. Women are cnquiring and thinking
Every class in the city has had its turn and hero
and there q representative has out boldly and
acknowledged the truth answering to their own
convictions. She found forty voluntary subscribers
to the Una" here, and others are willing, now
that she has gone, to have their names sent on.
Lucy came here to lecture on Woman's Rights,
and Of course did not say much on the subject Of
Slavery. But wherever it legitimately belonged to
her subject, she spoke out and was cheered for her
independence. Sabbath meetings need not be
more solemn and respectful than hers. True they
chcered her sometimes but only when her elo-
quence stirred their hearts so deeply they could
not help it. Our cause is bound upward and on
ward. Let all live true to ourselves and hasten
the good time coming.

Bedford Gazette, and, to the surprise OF a number
ofpcrsons present picked up stick and rule, and
commenced settingtype with all the ease grace and
familiarity of an accomplished printer. A slight
change in few of the bores since the days when he
used to work at the case, puzzled the Governor q
little, but he soon found out their location.

CAPTAIN DRAYTON.

This noble man and generous hero, says the Com
monpeaith, left us on Monday, doubtless never to
visit us again. His constitution was wholly broken
down by his Imprisonment, and since his liberation
his little remaining health and strength have been
continually wasting. He camc on here few
weeks since, hoping to spend some time in Mass
nchutetts in travelling, and selling his narrative
(which has just been published and thus do some
thing for his own support. But from the severity
ofthe weather, or other causes, his health declined
and he beTame so feeble as seldom to leave the
house. and finally to lose all hope Of ever being
essentially better though, from the nature of his
disease, he may perhaps live year or two. lie is
entirely destitute, and his friends here, solicitous
that he shall have every comfort so long as he may
need It, have proposed to raise five hundred dollars
for his benefit. As this will probably be the last
opportunity that will be afforded us Of admins
tering to his wants we hope that our readers will
feel it an imperative well grateful duty to do
something for one so deserving Of their admiration
and sympathy. Contributions may be sent to Mr..

REPORT OF THE MANAGERS OF THR
w. A. S. FAIR.

The Fifth Western Anti-Slavery Fair, was held
in the Town Hail. in Salem, 20 and "a Dec, 1858.
At the close Of the year, when we moro fully
realize the rapid fight Of time, and that what we
do for the slave should be done quickly-it 10
pleasant to announce TO contributors and purchas-
ers, that we have had a successful Fair Success
full not as compared with other Fairs Of like char
acter, but in proportion to available means. We
have not yet succeeded in convincing anti
slavery friends generally, that it would be well for
them to have an individual responsibility in the
Fair-but we will wait ds patiently ds we can, for
them and for the "good time" speedily coming"
when we shall double the amosn, of otr r6coiptS
with the same amount Of labor at The time Of tho
Fair. We will issue the call for odf sext Fair
earlier in the season. so that our friends will have
time to form sewing societies, and make othef
necessary provision.
The Fair committee return grateful acknowl.
edgements to oil who have contributed in any
wise to It's interest, not so much for the
gifts bestowed, they not for us, but for their
sympathy and trusting confidence. The prompt
ness and generosity Of our Adrian and Philadsl-
phia friends. will be kindly remembered A little

CAUGur.-We noticed two likely young negro
mon, shipped on board the Telegraph on Tuesday,
from the Covington wharf, for Louisville. They
were carefully hand-cuffcd, separately and jointly
and showed other evidence Of having been roughly
handled. Upon inquiry, We learned they had
boon arrested ON Monday morning, on the Ben
Franklin. charged with entieing away slaves from
tho neighborhood Of Louisville The culprts are
both citizens Of Canada one having emigrated
thithor some years ago from New Albany and the
other, we believe, from Louisville. The evidence,
OF rather the rumOr is, that they came back ex-
pressly TO assist some colorel friends or by the
underground limo, and upon this charge, they have
been sort back to Louisville for trial.-Cin Com.
They were doubtless the same men who have
been heraded so joyfrlly by all the doughty press
cfthe country. as having returned voluntarily to
enjoy the greater privileges and blessings of slave
ry. A great many such instances have occurred,
bat generally attended with better success than
appears to have been the case with the above. All
papers who rejoice over the return OF those "two
likely yonng negroes" to voluntary seryitude, will
Of course say nothing about the true state Of the
case or, if they cannot repress their Joy that the
aspirations for freedom of two more "likely" men
have been thwarted, they will please hide the fact
that they are some whose love Of slavery had heen
previcasly ohroniclod in their column. Thus they
may aid IN giving strength to the "institution'
