PROGRESS IN MISSOURI.

At meeting Of the citizens of Randolph coun-
ty, Missouri, last Monday, the following resolu-
tions, among others, were adopted:
l. Resolved, We recommend that this meeting
of the citizens of Randolph county shall notify all
free negroes residing in this county that they must
leave this county never to return, by the first day
Of December, 1855, or they will be severely dealt
with.
2. We recommend that this meeting resolve in
future no free negro be allowed to settle or live in
this county.
3. We that this meeting request all
and every good citizen Of this county to see that
these resolutions are enforced, and TO give their
best assistance and aid in enforcing them.
5. We hereby express our entire disapproval of
masters permitting negroes to hire their own time,
and that in the event of its continuance, we will
feel ourselves called upon to deal with said negroes
as though they were free negroes.
6. That a special committee OF seven be appoin-
ted to attend to the fulfllment of the foregoing
resolutions.
7. That we to our legislature to pass
a law to prevent negroes from being set free in this
State.

What measure has so much embittered the two Sec

If the spread of slavery is necessary to the pres

based on the principles of human rights, and if,
as We think, the ascendency of freedom is essen
tial to its perpetuity, then, the sooner Locofoco-
ism is humbled in the dust, the better will it be

SLAVERY IN PENNSYLVANIA.

The anti-slavery presses of the country are, so far
as we have seen, with one exception, the Liberator,
triumphing over what they consider the "clean
victory" of Passmore Williamson over Judge
Kane. To US it seems that so far as the controver-
sy was between these two individuals, there was
a yielding of extreme points on both sides. The
judge failed to obtain from Mr.. Williamson, either
the delivery Of the slaves, or a knowledge of where
they we're to be found, which was a main purpose
in the issue of the writ, and in the subsequent
Imprisonment. The Judge also abandoned his
charge of perjury and with exception of one par
ticular, took the affirmation which he had previ-
ously declared perjury as truthful and q sufficient
cause for his release. He also permitted Mr.. VII
Hanson to silently retraCt a statement, which in
the first declaration was made the principal, nay,
almost the only ground of offence, viz: that ho
(W.) had Meier had the alleged persons in his
custody. So far the actual yielding of Judge
Kane.
On Mr.. Williamson's part, he qui city RETAINED
from repeating the offensive declaration that he
had neger had the persons in custody-by his form
Of petition as first presented and as subsequently
amended at the suggestion of the court, he seemed
to admit the charge Of contempt as alleged and
finally his answer also seems to admit that had
the persons been within his control, he would have
brought them into court as directed. These seem
ing concessions enable Judge Kane to appear
right upon the record of his own court, and Mr..
Williamson wrong and acknowledging his wrong,
and as RETAINING from presenting these persons
for enslavement by John ii. Wheeler solely on &C.
count of his inability to do so.
So much for the concessions of the two parties
personally. AS to the effect of the whole affair it
to us as it has finally resulted to be a "clean
for slavery over freedom.
In virtue of his '~clean" record, Judge Kane's
decision may hereafter be quoted as a precedent
for the incarceration Of any citizen who declines

STRANGE DEVELOPMENT.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette writes
from Pittsburgh that when the case of Passmore
Williamson was argued last summer at Bedford,
on the motion to bring Williamson out on a ' writ OF
habeas corpus, three of the Judges (Messrs. Low
rie, Woodwork and knox, were in favor of grant
ing the writ, and two, (Messrs. Black and Lewis, J
opposed to it. When the Court re-assembled in
Philadelphia, Judge Kane and his friends had an
interview with our Judges, and communicated to
them the fact, that the President had ordered the
United Sta ties Marshal, in case the Court should
direct the writ to issue, to remove Williamson from
Moyamensing to a United States receiving ship
and defend him there, with United States marines
and soldiers, against any force the State might
send to take him. The question presented to our
Judges was, whether it was prudent to risk the
threatening collision ? / am sorry to say that they
it was not. They had not the nerve 10
stand up for State Rights. Judges Lowrie and
changed their opinions, and the writ of
habeas corpus was not issued. The threat-for it
a tbreat-should have been an incentive to its
issue, instead of the pusillanimous course adopt
ed; foT the question Of State Rights has got to be
settled, and this was the opportunity he needed.

KNOWNOTHINGIsM

1T was vainly hoped for a time that Knownoth-
lnigism would serve to divert public attention from
the true issue; but that humbug has now exploded.
ie@Vlhg the great controversy in all its magnitude
to be decided"
such is the language of the National Era, in an
article on the elements in the coming presidential
contest. Wisely, and with true forecast, the Era
has earnestly battled with Knownothingism. but
we think it is utterly mistaken in the sunpositiou
that the "humbug is exploded" The friends Of
liberty IN all their organizations will still find il
an insidious and powerful foe. It's proscriptiye
principles are in entire harmony with those oc
slavery. and unfortunately they are too widely
spread for US to indulge The hope that their devel-
opment and influence is at an end. The recent
successes in Louisiana, Maryland, New York and
Massachusetts,, prove them any thing but dead
These successes will restore the faltering purposes
oil the party for success in the coming Presidep-
tal struggle, and it will address itself with new
viEor to the work of corrupting and in every wav
defeating the purposes Of anti-slayery politicians
OF the north. The Era, with other friends of free.
dom viii find itself compelled to resume their often
sive warfare against this foe. 1t should receive
no quarter, nor be suffered to succeed on account
OF the suspended vigilance of its enemies.

Fron, the Kansas Free State, Oct, 90.
A FREE MAN ABOUT TO BE SOLD.

Most of our readers remember the steamboat
Emma Harmon, that piled up the Kansas last
Spring, and that there was q free negro hired to
work on board the boat, and also that this boat
was charged all the while by the Pro.Slavery press
with having an abolition, negro-thciving crew
aboard. This was sufficient to condemn it and
cause it to be looked upon with suspicion by Pro-
Slavery men. When the boat hauled of the lar
western waters the negro not anticipating any
difficulty, and wishing to remain in Kansas, left
the boat ut Kansas city, and being there n day or
two in all innocence, before he was aware, he was
seized and taken to independence and lodged in
jail.
Then we saw in the papers of that place a fam
ing advertisement with a negro cut on it, stating
in so many words that if there was any man in the
whole of that region round about who wanted a
negro by paying for it in lies, that now was a good
time to apply, as they had one in Jail that would
make a good hand. 1t is strange that no man
was found in all Western Misso uri, bad as it
is, who was mean enough to try to get u negro in
that way.
However, time yassed of, and the negro still
lay in Jail, until a few weeks past our lndend-
ence exchanges contain the following advertise
mcnt
SHERirf's SALE OF RUNAwAY SLAvE.-Notice
is hereby given that there is a negro man supposed
to be a slave, of the following description, viz
Says his name is Samuel Peterson, is about thirty
years VI age, uDOuJ uNC ibeb UI16 lnCUeS ulHu,
rather spare-built, light black color, an irregular
scar over left eye, and a variety of scars on his
hands-now in the possession of tho undersigned.
Sheriff of Jackson county, as a runaway slave.
The owner of said negro is required to make APP
~plication for said negro within three months, and
pay all charges incurred on account of said negro,
otherwise lie wiU he sold al public auction, for cash
m hand, dtMe Courthouse door, in the city Of In.
dependence, No, on Saturday, the LIST day of Jan
uary, 1856, to pay said charges.
Sept. %, 1855. WIN. Bolts, Sheriff.
Now here is a free man, while attending to his
own lawful pursuits, is snatched up just because
he was a negro, confined about eight months in
Jail, and then sold for an indefinite period as a
slave to pay said charges. This is a very easy
method of making slaves in this boosted land Of
freedom. Butt it is the necessary and inherent
workings Of the institution.
Cincinnati papers will please notice this, as we
believe the negro was from that place. NJ.
