| RESPECT FOR THE LAws.-ln the Richmond (Vir-
ginial Dday Dispatch of March 23d we find the
following item, which has also been copied into
the Washington Union of the 25th:
"Judge Lynch.-The negro who killed n Mr.
Russell, in Clay county. Mo, not long since hy
cutting him to pieces with corn knife, wa5 taken
from Jail last week, and hung by the citizens with
out Judge or jury"
This is all right. The negro had killed his mas
ter, oyerseer, or some other white man, under
| what provocatiOn we do not know. The laws, t.
be sure, would have condemned the negro to death
but the citizens were indignant, and could not
brook the laws delay, and they accordingly took
him from the Jail, and hung him without judge OF
Jury.
Let no Northern fanatic" point to this case as
an instance of outlawry, ard claim that it extenu-
ates any cf the horrible atrocities committed in
this section of tho country where Sometimes n
negro, who has been guilty Of the enormiy Of run
ming away from the bondage that is great n
blessing to the negro race, is taken from jail and
set free by the citizens without Judge or jury.
No let not the just Indignation of the Missouri
people be compared to this. Who knows, indeed,
that the negro murderer in Missouri was not at
heart a runway, and that the crime of murder
was not consequence of his insane desire for
freedom? And if so, who is to blame but North
ern fanatics? 1t is strange that the patrarchal
institution is still so little understood d-Nat. Era
| Poor DEYNIsoN.--It will be remembered that
n few weeks since Rev. Mr. Dennison brought n
slave girl named Rosetta, to Columbus Ohio and
thereby made her free 1t will also be recollected
that after the most energetic tricky, and expen-
sive efforts made by Mr.. d. for the recovery Of the
girl she was declared free by the Court of Com
mon Pleas, and also by the Fugitive Slave Law
Commissioner. The girl, on all hands, was de-
clared to be legally free. Well, the Reverend
gentleman did not like to give up his slave and
hence went home grumbng Some of the good
people of Kentucky feel like helping him to bear
his grief. The Louisville Journal publishes tn e
proceedings o. a meeting of Sympathsers, held in
that State, and they are rich We clip the two
first resolutions adopted:
Resolved, lst. In view of these principles, we
take pleasure in bearing testimony to the manly,
bold. and disnterested course of our foow-ctizen
the Rev. Henry NJ. Dennison, in appealing, though
in vain, to the constituted authorities for yindi-
cation of his just rights.
"2d. That as citizens of Kentucky, we feel an
honest pride that he did not shrink from the faith
ful discharge of his duty asa believer"
MANLY" "disnter3sted," faithful discharge
of his duty as Jclierer !" Strange pcrvcrsion of
language! Wonder if the time will not soon como
when the salvation of men in Kentucky will be
suspended upon the condition that pilgrimage
once in life time be made to Ohio, on an erraud
similar to that which brought Mr. Dennison here
Dayton Telescope.
RIGuTs OF C0LoRED PEoPLE.-On Sunday after
noon the Rev. Dr. Pennington, Of ~ y. immedi-
ately after sermon, advised his congregation to re-
mind their friends who might visit the City during
this Anniversary week, that colorcd people could
longer be excluded from the city nubic conveyan
ces as was formerly the usage. lie said that q
judicial decision had already placed tho mattey Of
public conyeyances in the hands Of cOlored people
themselves and they would be to blame if they
longer continued subject to the great disadvanta
ges involved by the prescriptions Of conductors
and drivers of cars and omnibuses. lie aid that
nothing short Of tho utmost tameness ard unjusu
fcable, indeed impious cowardce, woum induce
colored men and women who valued their :ight',t
surrender the privilege Of common transit along
the regular thoroughfares of this busy City. lie
hoped that Just at this time tho colored people
would show a bold front in this and other kindred
matters Of equal importance, thar the coming
age might know the value of perseverance, wheI
brought to bar IL pom great and important princi
pies in the development of which are involved thC
hopes and happiness of the whole human species

FuNNY.-The New York Tribune, in a lat
number, took occasion to comment npon Sam
Houston and his chance for tho Presidency il
] '56. Somebody has been publishing the life q
the "IIero Of San Jac' nto" with all sorts of re
, mantle stories Of his career illustrated with as
a .onshing wood cuts, &c. Some papers encourages
r the idea. Of giving this Sam a nomination. Th
J Tribune quotes few paragraphs, and conclude
E its notice with tho following
