of Mr.. MUNDAY, in the west end ,of town,

is not only superior in style ..and finish to
any factory work. but it is infinitely sup
erior in strength and durability. An ex-
animation Of some furniture now in his
rooms will satisfy any one OF the truth OF
what we have said above, and convince
them that there is economy in purchasing
of him. His prices are as low as :hosc O
any other manufacturer, and are such as

A Bitter Lesson.

The blood boils upon reading the pro-
ceedings in the case Of the slave fugtives

again struck down, and we are troeden in
the dust. We beg attention to two princi-
pies as established in the decisions OF Com.

of the owner--the Judge as to The rights of
the officers, who claimed the custody Of the
slaves. a.'. .f pod
First, It 10 judicially held that slave ow-
nerr have free righ, Of way over the soil
of Ohio with thei- slaves, and not only
right in transifui but an actual right to
hold their slaves in bondage In this State,

Ohio. Under ,his last state OF facts Nile
Court expressed no opinion, the question
not necessary arising. We thank God it
did not arise. "Suhicient unto the day is
the evil thereof" and assuredly Ohio has
had al the slavery law she can stand up
under for the present. ~
The second point made law is, that slaves
while claimed by their masters are not
amenabc to the laws OF Ohio for murder
committed upon our soil. This is the plain
English Of the matter, befog il as lawyers
may. What claim, for instance, has Ohio
upon kentucky for the delivery by the
