The Relations Of Slavery 70 Cheese

The Cincinnati Slave case has given rise to
an interesting correspondence of a CONNER
cial character. \ Mr.. Joiiii,, Cincinnati
lawyer, volunteered his services as counsel
for the blacks aud showed ability and earnest
ness IN his conduct of the case. His neigh
boris saw fit to join in a testimonial of respect
for his conduct. Certain Nashville slave
holding merchants heard the name Of Straight
mentioned as one Of those engaged in such "a
high-haudcd transaction, whereupon they
wrote to Mr. Straight, member of a cheese
dealing firm, Straight, Deming & Co., Of
Cincinnati, to enquire if he was the man,

discourse on their " right to hold negroes a
property" and their duty A" as good. loyal
citizens and property holders to avert all
direct or indirect infringement ON their
rights and the laws comforting them, - and to
set forth tli'; they could not do business any
longer with persons holding such sentiments

Mr. Geyer, of Missouri, declared his
opinion recently in the Senate, that the
friends of the institution of slavery will be
able to maintain that ascendancy in Kansas

three minutes, and utterly unequal to any pro-

One OF the ablest physicians of Philadel-

will not remove.
During the first five days after the Outrage,
Mr.. Sumner was comparatively comfortable,
