WHY DON'T HE COME


"Why don't he come Z" said the blooming maid,
As her hand on her snowy brow she laid
''Why don't he come Why lnger there,
And leave me here in a world of care,
To watch, in the hour of twilight grey,
The suns last tints, as they fade away.
"WLy don't he come! Will nights dark wing
No tidings ofmy lover bring,
Shall sit and watch with careworn breast,
The evening star as ii sinks to rest;
And when its last pale ray has flown,
Shall still be lingering here alone.

In loves low tone so sweet and soft,
That his pledge of truth, and his whispered VOW,

THE CINCINNA SLAVE CASE.

The examination Of the alleged fugitives before
United States Commissioner Pendery is progressing
slowly and, by latest accounts had already
pied three days. Charlotte Armstrong (colored tes-
flied that she had seen Mary of the alleged fu-
Agtves, four times in Cincinnati, and that she had
told her that she could come when she pleased
Henry Wilson swore that he had the young man
Simon on Broadway about two years ago. q. J.
had had conversation with I. W. Marshall, Of one
Of the claimants in which he Marsha told him that the
fugitYes bad been to the Ohio side of the river fire.
guently. The oOnveTa tOn took place in the Office of
heard by that fuDctionary. Eliza Mckinney Joseph
Kite, VIM. Alexander and Others, testified that they
bad seen Simon in Cincinnati at various times AT
this stage of the proceedings the Court adjourned,
meet again on Saturday
The evidence Of Mr. Guford is looked upon as very
important, it 80 fully impeaches the assertions OF
young Marshall of the claimant of the fugitives.
It will be borne in mind that the present examination
refers only 10 the parties claimed by MARSHALL after
concluded the case of those claimed by Gaines will
be taken up. Among them il the woman who killed
her child. The usual crowd was in attendance when
the slaves put into the jail omnibus, and spin:
Of resistance to the officers manifested. This
partly the result Of q large handful which had been
freely circulated through the city, and which closed
thus:
awe hope you will not fill the measure of your
shame by permitting woman who deserves MINOR
TALLY to be dragged to that slavery che breads
worse than death. GREAT Cop what a blot ON our
nation that men and women should seek in the gal
lows a refuge from that slavery TO which our laws
threaten to cOnsgn them =!
Meantime four more of Mr.. Gaines's slaves have
taken advantage of their masters absence, and are
now probably enjoying the sweets OF freedom. Inc
matter is thus noticed in TIE Commercial:
Eight slaves made their escape from Kentucky
night before last, among whom were four more be-
longing to Mr. Archibald h. Gaines of Boone County,
Ky, claimant in the fugitive slave al present
before United States Commissioner Pendery They
are ere this beyond the reach of capture"
