CONGRESSIONAL.

Aug. 5.-SENArE.-Mr. Seward presented the
petition of Charles Robinson and others, now con
fined in Kansas under the charge OF treason, pray
ing for their relief. Referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary.
The petitioners set forth that tn cir trial is to
take place on the second Monday of September at
%Lecompton and believing that they cannot there
have a fair and impartial trial, such as the Con.
Btitution guarantees to every citizen, they pray
that the venue may be changed, and that they
be tried by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Mr.. Seward asked attention to the petition at as
early a day as possible, because the time assigned
for trial was near at hand, and the nature of the
case such as to require most profound considera'
fiOn. These trials arose out of the contest of po'
litical opinion between citizens and parties of the
United States, which divides the two houses OF
Congress and departments of government, the
President being on one side and the House on the
other. Political trials are almost unknown in this
country. The employment of the Judiciary tC
settle and establish political princi pies and policy
is a resort which has never been made with sue
cess, and with a good result to the peace and har
mony of Society in any country in the world.
HoUsE-Mr. Grow moved to strike out the sala
ries of the Judges and Secretary of Kansas, saying
Se would not vote to sustain usurpation nor pay
salaries to Judges who trample down the libertie,
of the people of that territory.
Mr.. Phelps denied that the Legislative Assem-
Ny vas elected by fraud, the pro-slavery party be
ing in the majority. The effect of the amendmen
would be to delaT tho passage of the bill.
Mr.. Sherman offered aG amendment providin.
that no part of the money for the Territory shall
be expended until the release of these under ar
rest for treason and other alleged political often
ces. lie stated that in the county of Leayenwortl
~sixty-fyc men were thus charged; in Douglas, 81,
men for treason, which every lawyer knows to BE-
untounded.
Mr.. Millsop said the amendment invoked the di
rect interference of the House with the course n
judicial proceedings, saying, in effect, to the judg
es, you shall have no money unless you acqui
prisoners. lie would no. characterize the move
ment as revolutionary but as monstrous and sub
vcrsive of every principle Of common and erimi
nal law.

BORDER RUFFIANs ON THE MARCH.

duct on the route, we learn the following pc rticu,
lars from Mr.. George Wire. of Galesburg, ILL.,.
who travelled on the same train from Wheeling as
far as Indianapolis with them. They appeared
to be in charge of a leader of some intelligence,
a middle aged'man, who paid the fare for the COM
pany, and had a general superintendent over
them. They also had a Captain and Lieutenant,
younger gentlemen, who were full of the import
ance of their mission, ana talked loudly of their
high blood and the place of their nativity.
They occupied the rear car in the train, and
with the exception of loud talking, pulling off hats
and displaying q general spirit of rowdyism, there
was no disturbance during the first conductors
route which reached from Wheeling to Dayton.
By this time they we're sufficiently drunk to show
their true character. In response to a civil request
from the conductor Of the train to keep quiet and

ANNIVERSARY MEETING.

The Fourteenth annual meeting of the Western
Anti-Slavery Society will BE held in Salem, Col
Co., Ohiot commencing on Saturday, the 30th Of
August, at 10 o'clock A. NJ, and continue three
days.
There probably was never a time when the Anti
Slavery cause required of its friends a more sterr
and faithful advocacy, than the present. As thei
principles have been proclaimed amid scorn anC
contumely "without concealment," so should they
be maintained amid the strife of political elements
and the allurements of party interest "withou'
compromise"
While they may congratulate themselves upon
the increasing favor with which their doctrines are
received 10y the popular mind, they should not for
a moment cease to inculcate the duty and necessi-
ty of demanding, not the restoration of q pro-sla-
very compromise of former days, not the mere linn
tation Of chattelismt to State boundaries, but that
every friend of human rights should cease to sup
port by speech or vote, by influence direct or indi-
rect, the system of American Slavery.
The Infamous slave law Of 1850, the border TO-
ray upon Kansas, the recent cowardly and muir
derous attack in the Senate Chamber upon a mem.
Der of the upper House, are but SO many eviden-
ces of the utter hopelessness Of abolitionists eff
fectively laboring to promote the downfall of "the
peculiar institution" until they practically adopt
the motto Of Union aoih Shareholders"
All who hate slavery and seek its extinction, are
invited to assemble with as for enquiry, for coun-
sci, and for aid.

be present on the occasion and again greet his

hope they will be with US, as we'll as some others
whom we cannot now announce.

A~NTI-SLAVERY FAIR.

The Western Anti. Slavery Society, will hold its
annual Fair in Salem, Dec. 9th and 25th.
The object of the fair is so we'll understood by
the abolitionists of this country, that we deem it
only necessary to publish the time of its gathering,
to secure the hearty and vigorous cooperation Of a
large circle of Anti Slavery friends.
The past success of our efforts in raising means
and the faithfulness with which that means has
been applied to the enterprise of abolishing Sla.
response to this appeal. corresponding to the start
ling emergency of the times.
We have not now to meet and abolish Slavery
on its original ground only, but in the new and
beautiful Territory of Kansas-in Washington, in
Ohio-and in all the Northern States whore the
servile minions of the South can give it a place.
We are not however disheartened or disappointed,
and shall apply ourselves with unwonted diligence,
trusting as ever in the stern principle of justice
and right.
We hope that no time will be lost in making the
necessary arrangements to meet this demand; and
among other means, we suggest the Importance OF
forming sewing circles as speedily as possible in
every nelghborhood where there is the scripture
number of 'two or three" women in whose hearts
the love of Freedom burns to labor, so that the
great demand for needle and knitting work, in its
rich and useful varieties may be amply supplied.
The committee will gratefully receive in monies,
produce, furniture, and all merchantable goods,
whatever can be forwarded from this time till the
Fair, thus a~fording an appropriate and varied sea-
son for the offering of each.

We have never doubted that our efforts

they would not have been responded to in so

True, it is somewhat stripped Of its magma

which seemed to enforce this determination

THE WASHINGTON UNION PINING-
OR, WHAT'S IN THE WIND.

The Washington Union of Thursday comes
to US without editorial. Is our neighbor pining
under the sixty hour" rule, or has his nervous
system received too severe shock from Mr.
Hunters late spiteful resolution upon the con-
stitutionality of "extra numbers to be printed"
to enable him to put his pen to paper? Where
is the admirable Crichton," where the gay
and fascinating Sophomore, where the dozen
others of the editorial corps whose lucubra
tons have so often adorned the columns of the
Union? Are they all paralized by the sixty
hour" manifesto? Something is wrong; what
is it? Speak up neghbor; you surely don't
mean to let the Sentinel outlive your The
Sentinel, whose demise has been predicted with
the confidence of an astrologers readiness, is
not to be chief mourner at the funeral obse-
quies Of great Government Organl Oh, no!
this cannot be. But in sincerity, neighbour
for the good book commands US to love our
neighbor as ourself-if you are sick we will
come to you; we will sit by and comfort you !;
we will do all in our power to restore you
Indeed we could not do well ,cithout you Just

ours with you; we can easily spare, for charity
sake, three Of our six columns So, cheer up.

THE SENTINEL AND THE ENEMIES
OE MIR BUCHANAN.

The structures of the Sentinel on the short
comings of the Executive, have had one effect;
ithas caused the unearthing of the many enemies
to Mr.. BUCHANAN, who, but for this open mani
festation of their purpose, might in secret have
done much mischief under the guise of neutrals.
We are entirely satisfied that the inuendoes,
doubts and evil suggestions which attend these
selfappointed defenders Of Mr.. BUCHANAN, be-
tray the purpose of these writers-wishing, yet
afraid to strike, they seek through the Sentinel
to stab Mr.. BUCHANAN.
Is it anything new to criticse the course of
President? Do these journals pretend to de-
fend the measures we condemn. Not at al2
If they spoke at all il would be to condemn as
we condemn. Has not the Sentinel been true
to the Democratic rubric? Then what is the
crime of the Sentinel? Neither more nor less
than this-that the Sentinel condemns what
they do not approve. It's offence hath this ex-
tent, no more. And yet this is made the excuse
for the immolation of Mr.. BUCHANAN Surely
the motives of these parties are too transparent
TO be misunderstood They we're the enemies
Of Mr.. BUCHANAN, and thought they could
through this loop.hole let fly at him the enven-
omed shaft with impunity
What divinity doth so hedge round this Ex-
ecutive, that no mouth should dare speak the
truth of it?
This Executive can, with IMMUNITY, violate
its feasance to the Democratic Party-disre-
gard all tests, give absoluton to all who op-
pose its test measures, and yet one word Of
comment against this destructive course brings
on US, not on the evil-doer, the denunciatons
Of those presses which have learned that thrift
doth follow fawning. Why are not their thun-
ders directed against him who has disabled
the Democratic Party? Why is their artillery
directed solely against him who holds this evil
doer to an account?
Which of all Of General Pierces good acts
or good words have we not commended?
Which of his words or acts which we have CEN
sured do these parties oppose? If we have OPP
posed all they can commend, and have con-
demned only those they cannot approve, with
what propriety do they charge US with wrong?
What immunity inures to that Executive, that
truth should be forbidden to speak Do not
these critics by their course render themselves
Justly liable as accomplices in all the errings
of the Executive.
