of Ohio has perhaps, no legislative power to re-

lie said: have reason to rejoice to-day in behalf
OF my clients and of the country that this case is
to be tried before gentleman who has tried SINH
lar cases. and had the moral courage to decide
against the claimant 1t was not the pride of opin-
ion that controlled his judgment, but sincere
conviction Of the truth and justice of such a
course.
will drst notice the arguments of my c6urte-
and Virginia were not responsible for Slavery but
the Yankees, who sold them the negroes. Others
have charged that England forced Slavery upon
us. Bat when his ancestors and mine went down
to Norfolk to buy slaves they not to be blam,
ed? The merchants and traders sold them for
gold-for gold they would have sold the planters
as well. But were not they who tempted the
merchants to bring them slaves, equally guilty
with those who bought them?
lie said aiso that it was the ALohtiOnists who
were creating all this agitation, and he denounced
them as "pot house politicians" Now, who are
the Aboitionists know those in Ohio perhaps,
as we'll as that gentleman, but | do not know
among them n single man to whom the phrase.
"pNt-house politicians" could be applied.
The gentleman was ill-advised in his attack
lie was firing his grape and canister into the ranks
of his allies, and at every charge they fell. The
Unionsavers, they are the pot house politicians

METHODIST SLAVE-TRADERS.

There are many persons in the Methodist Epsco-
pal Church, who, like DR.. Elliott admit tAat slave
holders are members Of that Church, as before the
division; but claim that no member now sells a
slave without being plined-losing his mem
bership. Now for facts:
In Bracken Co.. Ky.--my native county, L.
II, a member of the NJ. +. Church, sod slave
woman and children few years since-since the
division. This woman, with her children, had
been willed TO him. had committed no Oaenee,-he
wanted money and sold them.
Another member, c. A, last winter cast 40
unofiending slaves in prison, at the death of his
wife, by whom he recciSed them, and in short
time sold them. When | left that county, some
two or three months since, as was assured by re-
liable persons, that slayetrader was, before, a
member, in good standing-undscipline Sc
was the member first aluded to. l have talked
with him about his sin in this respect. My wife
says if one of her uncles Z. Il, was now living
deceased some fifteen months since, he would
testify that another member, who was still it good
standing last fal-a leading man, sold him q
slave, since the division in lS44, These facts are
notorious; and whilst in Campbell Co., EAST fall |
was assured that there are many other like exam
pies.
But why should our Methodist brethren make
the absense Of SiaretrddjRg the standard of THEN
piety, or loyalty to freedom AID righteousness;
The crime consists not in the selling, but in the
hoidmq--in chattelizing man. If may rightfully
holo horse, then | may rightfully sell him. The
crime is in holding slave. SO the NJ. f. Churcl
once decided; and forty years since, even in Ky.
as learn from living witness, in that very churcl
to which have referred above. Squire Day wa
disciplined because he would not pledge himself tc
manumit some slaves then in his possession. II
those days, there was much piety and efficiency il
that Church, how but little, if any, of either
Tho Zine gold has become DIM" Slavery ha'
been suffered to come in, and with it pride, caste
and oppression. These have grieved away tn,
