KIDNAPPERs IN PHILADELPHIA.

Tho Anti-Slavery Standard. publishes from its
Philadelphia correspondent the following account
of u late kidnapping case in that city to which VIC
have before referred:

fugitive slave, and bringing the former to Phlle-
delphla' and incarcerating him here, on the charge
OF being a fugitive from justice. As soon as the
iacts were known, Passmore Williamson. the vigi-
liant and indlfatigable Secretary of the old Aboli-
ton Society wrote to a friend Of the Governor, at
harrisburgh, to use his influence to prevent the
granting OF q warrant on the Louisiana Governors

obnoxious way with their Institution. Wr. VIII
liamson's letter had come too late. Governor
Pollock, not suspecting the trick The will be wiser
the noxt time) had granted the warrant, and the
successful applicant had returned to Ph'ladolpaia
to execute it. But "alps not los: that is in dan.
ger" The next morning, the papers contained the
following note, which will explain itself:

This, Of course, blocked the whole game. Th,
next day, David Paul Brown and some oao else
had the man brought out on habeds corpus, and, ne
one appearing against him, no was discharged
from custody, The woman, poor soul, did not far,
so we'll. A letter before me from Thomas Garrei ,
who was written to by Mr.. williamson on tho sub
ject, says:
Immediately on hearing the case, I took
a lawyer and went over to Newcastle, but she was
gone. They had her before the Commissioners,

Towards the close Of May I saw a report of the
proceedings of the Congregational Union of Eng
land and Wales. My attention was arrested by
seeing that y gentleman had introduced the sub
Iject of missions to Turkey in connection with the
/ American Board, and had obtained a resolution
commencing this object to the confidence and
prayers of the churches" This act OF the Congrc-
gatiOnal Union set me upon u train of thought quite
new, and the more | thought about it, the more
unaccuuntablc did their action appear in turning
away q purely religious Anti-Slavery Society be-
cause there was no precedent" for commencing
it, and then commencing a Society whose position
on Slavery is so notorious.
Mr.. Vincent in time became convinced that a
serious and preconcerted effort was making. to
identify the British Churches with the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and
secure the sanction Of British Churches and Mis-
sion friends to their proslavery course, And this
secured, there was secured also, the sanction to
the pro.slaycry course of the American Bible and
Tract Society and other prc-slavery bodies, and Of
the American churches generally. Seeing this
danger to the cause he represented, and to the
cause Of freedom, Mr.. Vincent addressed him.

American Board. And so far as we are informed

Body. Thus have many become better acquainted
with the i'm pOrtant fact, which alolitionists have
been SO long compelled to present, that the con
trolling religious associations of this country, have
~conspired with shareholders to not merely hold
our millions Of slaves in bonds-not only to de-
bauch tho morals and corrupt the churches of
America; but also to spreal the moral ruin DER
the world, converting the churches Of the whole
earth into synagosues for the support and propaga'
ton of Slavery.
Mr.. Vincent so far as we know, has never been
remarkable for his Anti-Slavery labors in this
country. Indeed, though he went to England as
the representative of n Society located in our own
State, we never heard of him as an abolitionist till
we heard OF him as such in Great Britain and
yet we are rcjoiced that forced to occupy 50 truth
tul and important a position, he has done it with
So much of ability and success as the report o.
his procec lings would intimate.

the Colonization Society was made an exception to
the wholesome provisions Of the .Emigrant Pussen-

since received this act, and are happy to state that
we were in error. That by special provision Of
the act, the ~emigrant vessels Of tho Colonization

as it should be, and We are happy to give this
credit to the late Congress.

the pleasure of welcoming William Wells Brown
to Salem, where On Sunday last he commenced the
labors Of his Anti-Slavery mission TO Ohio. He
spoke twice on ~Sundayin the Town Hall, to crowded
audiences. Unavoidable absence from home de-
prived us of the satisfaction Of listening to his
addresses, but all whom we have heard speak of
them, concur in applauding them, as excellent and
we'll calculated to advance the cause for which he
labors. On Monday and Tuesday evenings Mr..
Brown addressed audiences in Culumhiana. On
Wednesday evening at Garfield, on Thursday and
Friday lie was to have spoken at New Lisbon and
on Sandy next ho will be at Alliance. After
which he will make bis way to Cincinnati, hold
ing meetings. at Columbus and at some other in.
tervcning places.
During next month, until the Cincinnati Con-
vcntion, Mr.. Brown will labor in the South West
Committee appointed by the Cincinnati Sewing
Circle. 1t is proper to say that to this Circle.
We are indebted for Mir. Browns most welcome

SENATOR WILSON'S SPEECH.

We publish entire Mr.. Wilson's speech in the
U. States Senate, declaratory Of his anti.slavcry
pu, poses. lie speaks too for the people of the
North, and especially for the people of Massoclu.
nctts. Like Mr.. Giddings' speech which We pub
lishcd last week il most inconsis;ently and wickedly
acknowledges the constitutional Obligations Of the
North to surrender the fugitive slave and more,
it pledges Massachusetts, to the performance Of her
Constitutional obligations" in this particular, aud
in a manner too, highly satisfactory to some OF
the slave holders. Mr.. Sellers, for instance, Of
Maryland. We commend our readers to his APP
proyal and defence Of this speech. 1t will be
found beside it on our first page.
The Southern representatives and Senators in
Congress recently manifested an unusal desire
for accurate information regarding the real pur-
poses of the North. They feel well assured that
when the North forms \ thorough purpose to estab-
fish freedom, she has il in her power TO accomplish
her object. The recent northern excitement, and the
results Of the elections, have alarmed them lest such
purpose was already formed. or rapidly forming
This alarm has cooled down their braggart bearing
to one Of respectful inquiry. Hence the inquiries
which Mr.Giddings answered in the House and Mr.
Wilson in the Senate. And much to be regretted
is it thhtthose answers did not inlialte II thorough,
radical and direct purpose for tie overthrow OF
the system of slavery, rather than one to limit its
influence while tolerating its existence. Solle,s
and Benjamin had good reason to be satisfied foi
well do they know, from past history, that when
compromise is permitted, Slavery has and will
triumph.
Ike Shareholders will commence early, with nc
such half way purpose, to bride or browbeat the
new Congress into thei7 measures. And if in the
beginning the old champions of liberty in Com
gress make the accustomed concessions to the slave
power, what shall we expect from the new recruits
from the old wrecked, pro-slavery wing party.
Until radical abolition ground is taken, the hopes
of those who watch for freedom are destined only
to disappointment.
We admit that Messrs. Wilson, Giddings and
others are most con sistent in their concessions to
slavery. They are in uHioR with Shareholders.
and their bond of union, which they have sworn
to maintain and defend, makes these concessions.
They can therefore do no otherwise than repeat
hem again and again. Especially are they bound
tn repeat them, whenever they make speeches in
Congress denunciatory Of the outrages thus spc-
cially protected. Dissolve this wicked political
Union and Messrs. Giddings and Wilson and
Walc and their noble minded oadjutors will
enter upon tho enjoyment Of liberty them
selves. Then will they develop to the world the
rull proportions of that noble, vigorous manhood
which even in th,ir present thralled condition
places them SO high above their political fellows.
