THREE KrDNArPERs Convicted AT HARRIS
BURe.-We learn by the Harrisburg Herald
that on Tuesday last, Solomon Snyder, David
Thomson and James Jackson was convicted
Of a conspiracy to kidnap George Clark, Ia
colored youth) and sell him as a slave to the
South. Clark was lad lS years old and
had been raised at George Craigheads about
miles from Carlisle, where his parents lived.
He was at Harrisburg on the 23d Of Febru-
ary last, and was decoyed by jackson and
seized by Snyder, but was rescued. These
men we're tried for the crime of kidnapping
and convicted. Snyder is considered as one
of the most worthless and abandoned crea-
lures that walks the earth and had been
engaged in numerous similar scrapes before.
He was ore of those who murdered fugitive
slave in Columbia, after he had been arrested
and was being led along by this Snyder, and
the police officer from Baltimore. Himself
and two or three others in Harrisburg have
been notorious for some years as men OF most
abandoned habits and principles, some OF
whom had to leave that community to escape
arrest and punishment for their crimes. 1t
is to be hoped that those who have been con-
vcted will have meted to them the lawful
measure of justice for their iniquity

the fanatical war party has completely got
the upper hand and that Alexander III. S
throne would not be worth weeks purchase
| if he were to attempt to thwart the current
of national feeling. The rich mobiles, who in
their hearts long for peace, and will be the
greatest sufferers by the war, are compelled
to swell the popular cry. They offer large
contributions, in the hope of averting sweep

con6scaton.
