away from the Commission. He had also
reason to believe that be could not go there
and remain in personal safety. He believed.
and he lad reaJoa 10 belisVs, that his life was
meEaesd, and Tor these reasons he rested on
his privilege. He would therefore inform the
officers, and all those present, that he would
not obey that writ; and that any man that at
tempted to take him on it, or other like it,
should make the attempt at his peril. II he
lost bis life in the attempt, he would have no
redress; if he sustained loss or injury, be would
have no action.
The Deputy-Marshal here rose and left, and
Mr.. Oliver rose and left with him. The officer
who served the process not only iusulted The
Committee, through the Court, but acted lin
decorOusly-telling Reeder when he appealed
to the gentlemen Of the Committee, that he
had nothing to do with the Committee. And
when the Committee were celebrating on the
appeal made to them. rudely errupted them
by demanding "Well. what will you dO?"
That this was a deliberate insult Of the
Commission was clear. The Pro-Slavery meu
and Border Rufians have been writhing under
the st,ings Ofthe Commission, and would stop
them if they could. It was easy for them by
falsehood to deny their conduct, so as to blind
those at distance, but when they saw this
means of dragging their iniquities to Light. and
the evidence so clear and overwhelming, they
have desired to strike blow at the Com mmis-
sion, and that through Reeder.

the prominent events Of the day.

under the influence Of SlIvery, kills a servant
at the breakfast table. By accident, the PO-
sition in society Of one is elevated above the

wrong, and the votaries Of that code upon the
floor OF Congress, refuse to inquire into the
deed of blood So much for Slavery, as be-
tween master and servant Among equals in
social position, the law varies, but yet it is the
code of blood. Two merchants in New Or
leans, on Wednesday, settled their difficulties
by duel. One fell dead. The law Of Slav-
cry excuses the murderer because his victim
fell under the "code of honor"
The advantage which the elevated in sOci-

low; but one must die in either case; and the
survivor remains a gentleman.
In its Political aspect, we point to the una

to invade and Subdue Free Territory, ,-aUd
the daily fight Of the Free men Of the North

The Desperation OF Slavery,

|
The last adVces from Kansas show that eve-
~ thing is made to yield 10 the Territorial Gov
ernment as established by Missourians and
sustained by Federal troops. The outrage up
on the rights of Gov. Reeder. in sending a
writ after him to take him pway from the Con-
gressional Committee, and the d;srespect by
that act shown Congress itself, is apparent to
every one. That our readers may be posted
in the matter thoroughly, we give from the
Kansas correspondence Of the New York 7ri-
June the argument Of Gov. Feeder, and the
position Of the gentlemen Of the Investigating
Committee:
When Reeder referred the question to the
Committee as to the course he should pursue,
their position was an intricate an delicate one.
They are not here to decide such points, and
are too able and careful to 60 out Of the record;
but when appealed to they gave their opinions
Oh the subject. There could be no doubt as
to Reeder's privilege excepting him from all
such arrests, as a member of the Commission.
notified to attend its sittings, and also as a con-
testant in Congress whose claims had been
considered, He read from the Constitution on
the point. He said that he and Mr.. Olivar
had been at Lecompton that morning, and had
seen Judge Lecompte, and there had been no
notice given Of any requisition on any member
Of the Commis siOn-it was not even spoken
of-and courtesy and due respect to the Com
mission: as representing Congress itself, re-
quired that notice should have been sent to it
before such requirement be made, and that
would not affect their privilege, taking it in
good faith that all proceedings were regular,
and nothing offensive meant.
Mr.. 0livar dissented. He thought Reeder
had not the privilege, and that this Commits
sion have nothing to say between the Deputy
Marshal and Reeder.
Mr.. Howard, in his clear, emphatic tone,
said that, as a legal question, there could be
but one opinion--Reeder had his privilege. Il
is also we'll known principle in law that all
parties are legally responsible for knowing ,phO
has such privilege, and for their attacks on
them. If this Commission was attacked
through any Of its members, it might arrest
the party SO attacking its authority and digui-
ty for contempt, and send them to Washington
under arrest. He did not conceive this was
any case of premeditated attack, and in any
case the Committee had nothing to decide;
they were no tribunal before whom question
ofthe kind could come. They rested on their
privileges
Mr.. Reeder before he made his reply to the
officer answered the position Of Mr., Oliver
He then said that il this were common case,
or II he thought he could go, appear before
the Grand Jury and testify, and return, in one,
OF even two days, be would go. He had reas-
on to believe that the object was to take him

For the pun pose of choosing three Delegates
from each Congressional District 10 the Nation

tee recommended that District Conventions De

After const ltation, the Central Committee
of this Harrison county have concluded that
it would be best for the Delegates to the State
Convention, from this Congressional District,
while in Columbus, to meet together and ap-
point shree Delegates to represent the District

The Ne Plus ULTRA,--Dr. C. NJ. Jackson
would seem really to have attained the highest
point of convenience, beauty, and style, in
mercantile architecture, in his new warehouse
and Office, for the sale Of the celebrated Hoof-
lands German Bitters, 96 Arch street, below
Fifth. This splendid building, whose exterior
has for months attracted the admiration of all
who passed, by the originality and delicacy oil
its ornamentaton, and the harmony and grace
Of its proportions, was opened on She 10th in-
slant to a company of the Doctors friends and
acquaintances. who enjoyed themselves "right
merrly" on the occasion.
The building, which is four stories in height
and 100 feet deep, contains DR.. Jacksons labo-
ratory and Office, besides one of the most TASTE
full and elegant sqles-rOom we have ever seen,
and room iu the rear so admirably arranged
for clerks, cashier, kkeeper, etc., etc., that
we thought we were going into bank, with al
least million of capital. The front saloon is
laid with alternate squares of white and black
marble, and the walls are richly frescoed, and
highly decorated in white and tinted arabesque
The columns of Sienna marble, supporting the
central arch, are admirably wrought. Inde ed,
the whole building, inside and out, is noble
illustration of the taste and skill of American
workmanship, and reflects the greatest credit
upon the public spirit of the proprietor. We
deem especially worthy of notice and commen-
daton all such efforts to embelish our cities
