CANDIES ron ruE Know NoTHINos- We
mentioned some time since that when the Sc
cret midnight meetings Of the Crawdsh party
were detected, they made virtue Of necessity,
and acknowledged IN their convention Of the
23d ult., that such meetings had been held;
but they cndeayored to show vide distinction
between their meetings and the Known Nothing
meetings. which distinction consisted in the
fact that they lad candies in that cotton-shed.
From this, W infer that the Crawfsh orators
have learned rom eliable authority. that the
KNOWN othings meet aOithost candles AS this
extreme Of economy, therefore, is the only Ob.
jectionable feature ID the Known othing meet
ings, we would suggest n them that they re-
move this Ia objection raising snal con-
tribution and purchasing few candles. An
excellent article may had Oh good terms at

FROM INDIANA.
rs, IOT tUTItSt IaDOr,
JOSEPHINE S. GRIFFIN,
ORLAND, Steuben Co., Indiana,
March Both. 1850.

Mr.. EDrroR-Dear Sir: Thinking that YOU and
your readers will be interested in knowing some
what Of the progress of the cause of the slave, and
the state Of Anti-Slavery feeling in this village
and vicinity, we send you the following commune
cation, which you will please use as seemeth you
best.
The "true and tried" friends of humanity,
Charles and Josephine Grifing, came to cur village
on the evening of the 23d inst, to talk to us on
the subject of Slavery, and on their arrival, found
the church doors closed against them but they
obtained permission to speak in the Seminary,
where a large audience assembled to hear the Cos
pei of Anti-Slavery.
The first inquiry naturally instituted by Mr.. and
Mrs. Grifing was, chy they were shut out from
the churches. One very respectable member and
trustee Of the NJ. f.. Church said, that he had no
objection to their occupying lis church for the
purpose Of delivering an Anti- S2arery lecture, but
he would not consent to open it for them to
engage in a TRADE against the churches.
If telling the truth, demonstrated by documen-
tary evidence and facts, concerning the corruptions
and pro-slavery character of the popular denomi-
nations Of this country, be a TRADE upon the

with whoops ard confusion left the house, in COM
pany with about one third of those present; but
MIR. Grifhng raised his voice so as to be heard
above all the din, and denounced in the strongest
terms, and most sccrchingly rebuked n lying priest
and priesthood. The facts are significant, and
speak in tones not to be mistaken, of the corrup-
tons and pro-slavcry influence of the popular re-
ligious denominations Of this country.
Yours, for Truth and Humanity,
A. McGOWEN.

ENsLAvEMENT UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

According to the Louisville Courier, some of the
maintain their relation to the patriarchal institu-
ton. Their contentment and happiness Their in,
however, seem sometimes sufficient to nerve them
up TO successful resistance to the enticements and
even more serious measures of the impairment and
intermeddling abolitionists.
The Courier says that, many a family servant.
attached to his home, his kindred and his master,
has been obliged to swear that he was free, to pre-
vent the use of violence to his person and in order
to avoid being incarceratcd and detained against
his will-in order to escape being imprisoned so
that ho might be free"
OF course this veracious statement is made nj
this time, to present in the most aggravated form.
the outrages recently perpetrated in Cincinnati, on
the right of Kentuckians to hold taeir slaves in
Ohio, and to travel with them through the State
10 enforce the rights of these family servants to
remain in slavery, and to terrify Messrs. Chase,
Walker, Judge Parker and others into propriety-
into letting the slaves remain slaves, without the
annoyance of being offered their freedom. The
Courier threatens the trade of our State and espe
cially that of the Queen City.
That is nothing new. Why don't they rathe,
execute the threat? Louisville has done her hes,
at this work of stopping Cincinnati trade for a
score of years, but still Cincinnati lives and thrives,
leaving her rival city painting and threatening, far
in the rear. But perhaps they hope for better luck
in their future rivalry. Heretofore the occasion
Of this destruction of trade has been, that masters
were robbed of their slaves; But as this appeal to
the interest of Kentuckiaps not to trade with Gin
cinnati, has proved %abortive, they now take the
new tack, of disinterested benevolence. and threat.
en- these terrible evils on the philanthropic ground,
that stares are like to be deprived Of their Masters,
Whether this will quiet the abolitioniSts, we shall
see.

The report that has had the currency of the press
for the last week,that the Michigan Democrats had
succeeded generally in the local elections, turns
out to be an error. The Detroit Tribune says that
in most cases the Republicans have not only elected
their ticket, but have largely gained on the MAORI
ties Of last spring.

JUDGE MCLEAN AND THE CASE OF
ROSETTA,

Our paper last week went to press before we re-.
ceived the decision of Judge Mclean. in the case
of the U. S. Marshall imprisoned for contempt of
court. 1t will be remembered that he positively
refused to present Rosetta, and was therefore i'm
prisoncd by Judge Parker. Judge Mclean deci-
ded that the whole proceedings in the case before
Judge Parker were illegal-null and void. lie
said:
That the Commissioner had jurisdiction in the
case Of the girl Rosetta was clear and while he
was duly engaged in the investigation of the mat
ter, the Judge of the Common Pleas, fwhose mo-
yves were by no means to he questioned by ha-
beas corpus took from the Marshal the BODY Of the
fugitive, which left the Commissioner without a
ease, and wrcsted from him. without authority Of
law, the subject of his jurisdiction. A sense of
duty compelled him Judge McLeanl therefore to
say that the proceedings of the honorable Judge of
tIe common pleas were not only without authority
OF law, but against law, and void.
The T.. S. Marshal was thereon DISCHARGED from
custody.
Judge Parker issued his writ previous to the tri.
al before the commissioner. So that Judge Me-
Leans decision strikes out of existence so far ms
it is recognised rs authority. all right of the State
courts to interfere for the protection of the liberty
of any one claimed as a fugitive slave, and against
whom a commissioner has issued his warrant. In
other words, it strikes down the writ of babeas
corpus, and deprives the fugitive of all right to
claim protection under it. Such was doubtless
the intention of the trainers of the fugitive act,and
Judge Mclean is givingit its fullest efficiency
Thus do all classes of Shareholders and their abet-
tiers, join to destroy the time honored bulwarks of
freedom. That our State courts, as in the case of
Judge Parker are disposed to make a stand for
their defense, is encouraging. We invoke for them
an increase Of clear-sightedness and moral courage.

satisfaction that we record the event.

FRUITS or PRESCRIPTION. The legitimate results
OF the proscriptive and prosecuting policy of Know
nothiGgism was manifested at the Cincinnati cleo
ton ON the I'd inst. The combination Of all for
eigners against their secret enemy was of course
to be expected, and unlike the fall election it has
resulted in the triumphant success of the demo-
Gratis to whose aid the foreigners unitedly rallied.
The bloody riots, too, will be elsewhere repeated if
secret prescription and persecution continue. Our
readers have probably ere this learned the facts
from other sources.

To tie Editor Of the Independent.
"SlR; In a recent editorial, in speaking of Par.
ker Pillsbury's speech at "A late Anti Slavery Con.
ference in London, you characterize that gentle.
man ms "a foul-mouthed and reckless reviler," and
you accuse him Of imposing huge falsehoods"

Pillsbury, ask you if ! can say to him that your
columns will be at his service to vindicate himself
if possible, from so serious a charge? An answer
by return of mail will much oblige,
