S. III. GAY,
THE SENATE'S BILLS AGAINST SLAVE
CATCHING.

Mr.. o. p. Brown of Portage county is the
leader in any manifestation of Anti Slavery senti-
ment in the Ohio Legislature. We have great
pleasure in bringing before our readers his bills
presented in the Senate, for the prevention of slave
hunting and the imprisonment of alleged slaves in
the jails and calabooses of Ohio. They are brief,
but explicit, as all laws should be and are Just
what is needed in our State. The first, Furnishes
any State officer for assisting in the capture os q
fugitive slave, by imprisonment in the Penitentiary
not less than fifteen years nor more than twenty.
The second, Furnishes any citizen for aiding in
slave catching by Imprisonment for not less than
ten nor more than twenty years.
The third prohibits the use of jails for "confn-
ing, OBTAINING, or imprisoning so called f~ugitives
from slavery" and Furnishes any keeper of a Jail
who shall violate this act, by fine and disqualii-
cation for future office.
The fourth provides for the efficient execution of
State laws in cases similar to that which recently
occurred in Cincinnati.
These bills should become laws, and then we
should have a judiciary that would see them en-
forced at all hazards, the disruption of the Union
not excepted. Whether there is virtue enough in
the Legislature to enact these bills into laws, re.
mains 10 be seen. We have no idea there is, but
shall be glad to publish ourselves mistaken. It IL
a burning disgrace to Ohio, that the fugitive slave

PETITIONS FOR THE IMPEACHMENT OF
JUDGE KANE.

A considerable number Of petitions, and some
OF them numerously signed have been presented
in the House of Representatives for the %impeach-
ment of Judge Kane. We have seen but little
notice of them, but believe they have been referred
to the Committee on the Judiciary. We see it
stated in some of the papers that a movement for
the impeachment would be made, only that Penn
sylvania has not petitioned for it. We do not
believe that this is true. We know that Pennsyl-
yania has petitioned for the impeachment. We
ourselves saw one petition signed by several humid
red residents of the Western part of the State.
We presume the fact is that even the Representa-
tives who have presented the petitions in the House,
and are DESTROYS oc seeing the tyranny Of Judge
Kane rebuked in the manner proposed, have no
confidence in their power to procure a vote for
impeachment in the House, and could that be OBJ
tanned the trial in the Senate would be but q bur-
lesque, and he would he released, crowned by
shareholders and doughlaces with the honors of
martyrdom We do not approve this as a
good reason for doing nothing, though doubtless it
seems n good reason to some of the friends Of free.

AGGRESSIVE ANTI-SLAVERY.

The Press and Reformer raises the name of Ger
rift Smith as its candidate for President. In an
editorial setting forth Mr.. Smiths qualifications
for the station, the Reforner makes the follow
ing remark
We do not wish to denounce those who aim
merely to relieve the general government and new
territory from pro-slavery encroachment, blu. to us
no man is fit for president of this nation, who
does not seek to ''relieye" four millions of oppres-
sed Africans whose manhood and wo,nanhood is
crushed by the cruel heel Of inter State slavery.
Mere self-defensive anti-slavery lacks every eie-
ment CT true PHILANTHROPY. 1t is aggressive
anti-slavery we need. A leader who dares lay
siege to the entire Bastile, of American slavery
and such an one only, is fitted for the crisis. A
present victory on lower ground would be ultimate
defeat.
How strange that men who bore the brunt of
Anti-Slavery warfare years ago should not rccog-
nize the truth of this statement; but should now
relinquish long cherished, valuable principles for
the sake of success.

HAVE WI a STATE GOVERNMENTS

Anti Slavery politicians have been in the habit
Of deprecating the Capitalization of power in the
hands of the General Government and have boast
ed of the omnipotence of State rights for the pro-
lection of liberty. Recent events have shown that
we in Ohio have no State power to defend rights,
either State or personal. In fact they have dem-
onstrated beyond controversy, that while bound to
tae Union by a proslavery constitution there can
be no such thing as State rights, and we can have
nothing that deserves to be called a State Govern
ment, even when all the machinery is in the hands
of the best and most able politicians in the coun-
try.
Gerrit Smith, in a recent speech in the Capitol
at Albany, spoke sensibIy and truly on this point,
lie said:
1t was in tho power of my noble and beloved
friend Governor Chase to give slavery a Death
blow, the other day. If, when he learned, that
Cincinnati was invaded by pirates and kiduappers,
in their pursuit after innocent prey, he had sum
moned a force to capture them, or shoot them down
if they did not surrender, neither Ohio, por any
other Free State, would ever again have been sub
iect to a similar invasion. Such action on his
part would have brought up the question distinct
ly and intelligently, whether there Is IN this ma
ton such u thing as a State Government:-and
whenever that question is brought up. american
slavery will go to the wall, and America will DO
free. I said, whenever the question is brought up
distinctly and inteHigenhy-fora State Government
in any intelligent view of it, is one; that suffers no
innocent person to be dragged from its soil. That
deserves not the name of a civil government,
which does not hold its shield constantly, faith
fully, efectually over all within its jurisdiction
even the least baby, aye, the least black baby
That does not, necessarily, deserve the name OF
civil government, which protects such persons as
ourselves-such persons as crowd this chamber
For we. with our various powers and influences,
can, in the main, protect ourselves. We need but
little help from Government. That, and that only,
is entitled to the name of civil government, which
protects the humblost and obscurost,-thc poorest
Of the poor aud the weakest of the weak.

From Friedrich Douglass Paper.
A VOICE FROM CALVIN FAIRBANK.
RAIsIN, March, %, 1856.

hAlelNj NldTCH, 20, 1000.
friedrich DOUGLASS: DEAR FRIEND Some ff.
teen months since, | gave to the friends, through
the columns of your paper, a sketch of the cruel
treatment Calvin Fairbank was receiving at the
hands of Mr.. Craig, the former Warden of the
Kentucky Pcnitentiary. 4 change of Wardcns
has since taken place, which has improved his con
dition. But the query may arise, how has this
fact been ascertained, as whatever he may COM
municate has to pass through the hand of the War
den 4? The answer is obvious. Although Mr., Craig
called himself a Christian a Baptist by profes.
sion-and even presumed to expound to the peo-
pie the sacred oracles, and present to them the
words of Eternal Life, yet he could unblushingly
order Calvin Fair5ank to be bound, and receive, on
the bare back, furty-nine lashes. 1t was he, who
could, without appearance of conjunction, or visi-
tings Of conscience, break n cane over Calvin's
head, and swore he wished it had been the prison
er's head. instead of his cane, for which he paid
fifteen dollars. Beside these, and many like cruel
from his friends were, by Craig, forbidden even
the little pitance Of monies sent by his friends, at
diverse times, was Withheld but probably Mr.. Craig
was so thoroughly imbued with slaveholding logic,
that he deemed it his due, to satisfy the damage
bill of broken cane, &c, &. 2
But Mr.. H. Ward, the present Warden, permits
Calvin to correspond occasionly with his friends,
and to receive from them money, or articles of food,
they may send him, and allows him to appropriate
such donations to his own personal comfort.
Since July last, / have RENTED to him S21, hand
to me by his friends, from which | have received
from him receipts.

From the Radical Abolitionist.
STATE RIGHTS" IN OHIO.

The State Government Of Ohio is in the bands
Of that class of ''anti-slayery" men who cannot
come up to the standard Of radical abolitionists"
because they fear that by so doing, they would,
somehow, infringe upon the sovereignty OF the
States and encourage violation of Estate rights"
Well then, let US see how effectively these anti
slavery State rights" men can purge their own
State from slavery in the exercise of their state
sovereignty and State Rights"
We were duly notified that we could not expect
them to invoke the action of the Federal Govern
ment against slavery in kentucky. But then we
were exhorted 20 console ourselves with the assn
rance that they would protect freedom in Ohio.
Have they done it? The records of the Cincin-
natl slave case are before the country. Even Eu-
rope has, ere this, heard the result-has learned
how Estate sovereignty" and Estate rights" in the
hands of 'anti-slaYery" men vindicated themselves
on the free soiP' of Ohio. Governor Chase, and
the Legislature of Ohio, while in session, and
with the telegraph wires telling them from time to
time what was going on, have sat still, and seen
the sovereignty Of the State trampled in the dust
The kidnapper, Gaines, for six weeks, governs
Ohio, instead of Governor Chase. AT his bidding
the officials of the Federal Government interrupt,
forbid, and nullify the proceedings of the State
Courts. The Slave Code of Kentucky, thus sus
tanned, rides triumphantly over the penal-code Of
Ohio, claims and carries off, ne property, the per
sons arrested by the authorities of Ohio as crimi
mats, and drags into slavery those who, under the
laws of Ohio. are free. ohio becomes, in short q
conquered provinced Of Kentucky through the
interference of the National Government. All thi:
is permitted to 60 on, undisturbed, and even with
out femonstrance.
And now after that the deed is consummated
what it done? What steps are taken by the Exec
utive Of Ohiof We answer--In a way of defence
or even of remonstrance against the usurpations
of the Federal Government, lis prostration OF State
iights-ifs insults on Ohio State sovereignty
nothing, Just nothing, SO far as events have ye
transpired; In a way of protection of Ohio free
dom against Kentucky shareholders, nothing. Ii
n way of putting the State Courts in possession Of
their indicted and arrested criminals-on this point
and on this only. so far as appears, measures have
been taken. Governor Chase makes his requisi
ton upon the Governor of Kentucky for the re,de'
livery of the persons charged with crime. 1t i
only rs abducted criminals, not as abducted citl
zens, d~espoiled of liberty, that their return is re
unired. Had they been charged with no crime, i
does not appear that any claim would have beer
made for them. It comes then, to just this. ohit

purpose Of bringing Coolie slaves from China to

it is supposed are quite sufficient for any ordinary
voyage and cargo. But the character of this Pc.
ruvian slave trade is such, that the usual precau-
tions OF humanity fail with regard to ii. The
