THE CINCINNATI SLAVE CAsE.

In another column will be found the decision of
the slave.catching Commissioner Pendery, in which
he decides to earn twenty dollars instead of ten,
by holding that the Cincinnati fugitives are slaves
and must be returned to their respective masters.
He admits that if, when they had once been volun-
tarily brought into Ohio, they had then claimed
their freedom, it would have been impossible to
send them back by any process OF law, and that
they would have been entitled TO their liberty.
But having been taken back to Kentucky, they re-
apsed, according to bis account into the condition
OF slaves. This doctrine is based upon Ken
tucky decision, which is thus made to override
the law of Ohio.
But though the fugitiyes were thus decided to be
slaves the Sheriff still claimed to hOld.them or part
of them. on the indictment for murder. To get
them out of his hands the Marshal had them
brought before Judge Eeavtt one of those satellites
of the Slave Power distributed all through the
Free States in the capacity of United States Dis
trct Judges. The report which We print to-
day contains only part of the proceedings on that
hearing. A special telegraphic dispatch, printed
in our yesterdays paper, stated that this Judge
Leavitt had decided that, notwithstanding the in
dictment for murder, they were the Marshal's prs-
oners and not the Sheris, and that under this de-
cision they had been delivered to the Marshal and,
under guard of 200 deputies, had been carried
across the river to Kentucky This, if so, is new
and most aggravated case of the humiliation
State officers and laws under the authority or pre-
tended authority, of the Fugitive Slave act
What aggravates this outrage upon State Rights is,
that at the very time there was pending, as sp-
pears from report of the proceedings which we
also give, process on habeas corpus before a
State Judge, to test the question of Mr.. Commls-
sioner Pendey's authority to play the part of
judge and jury in these cases, the civil procedure
before an Ohio Judge was being treated with the
same, contempt as the criminal law of the State.
Badre making any comments upon this grave
invasion of the rights of Ohio we prefer to have
the plain state of facts before us. We shall only
say now that Slavery ift chooses thus to put
itself into conflict not only with individual senti-
ments of humanity, but with the corporate rights
and criminal jurisdiction of the States is engaging
in contest in which it cannot fail to 90 eventually

MIR. Collins received dispatch yesterday after
noon from passenger in the America who is ia
miliar with the Collins steamers, stating that on
the Tuesday after leaving Liverpool he saw large
steamer without bowsprit, and with signal in
her rigging running for the English Channel We
know of DO other sea steamers having no bOwsprit
excepting the Collins boats, and there is hope
that the steamer seen was the Pacific 1t is posi-
Bile, however, that it was some English steamer
which had lost her bowsprit by an accident. The
Baltic arrived at Liverpool on the Wednesday pre-
vious 10 the sailing of the America, so that it
could not have been that ship. The next steamer
due here, the Baltic, may not bring any ad7ices
of the safety of the missing ship if the steam
er seen was the Pacific, as she left Liverpool on
Wednesday, and the Pacific could hardly have ar
rived before Monday following. Still, she may
have been spoken and some information obtained
in that way.

The Boston Daily advertiser the organ OF the
Massachusetts, Hunkers. has exhibited in reference
to the nomination Of Fillmore not only great deal
more sense and sagacity but great deal more po-
litcal consistency principle and selfrespect, than
our Commercial Adrertiser. Instead Of initiating
the example of that ill-advsed and unfortunate
journal in rushing headIOng to offer itself as a con-
venience TO the Know Nothings and through them
to the Border Ruffians, The Boston Daily Adrer-
fser is in no haste TO commit itself thus to become
a servant of servants Taking the ground, which
The Commercial Adrertiser also admits to be the
necessary one that Mr.. Fillmore is not Whig
candidate but the candidate of the Know NOthings,

never can be brought to support him on that plat

WASHINGTON, Friday, Feb. 90 1856.
The Senate to-day received and read some addi-
tional documents respecting the difficulties with
Great Britain. Gov. Seward then made guarded
but pacific speech, squirting toward arbitration
respecting Nicaragua, and holding Lord Clarendon
as having rendered sort o apology as regards
the enlistment business. HereupOn Mr. Pearce
of Maryland, and Mr.. Stuart of Michigan, and
Mr. Mason of Virginia rode the war-hOrse, insisting
that the British apology was nothing or worse.
Mr. Seward must evidently be fierce against Great
Britain or the South will insist | infer
from their silence on the other point that the
Nicaragua question is in the way of being settled,
probably by arbitration. H.G

WASHINGTON. Friday, Feb. 90, 1856.
The documents submitted to the Senae to-day
on MasOn's resolution of yesterday, asking whether
Great Britain had proposed 10 this Government an
arbitration on the Clayton Buwer Treaty discloses
some extraordinary facts and verify literally the
statements made in my correspondence fortnight
ago. In commenting upon the speech of Lord
Clarendon, said no formal proposition had ever
been submitted to the United States, and that it
had only been introduced in casual conversation
between Lord Clarendon. and Mr. Buchanan more
than year ago, when the latter replied pleasantly
that Russia was the only power we could consent
to accept as an arbitrator, and England was at
war with her. These representations attracted at
tenton, and probably induced the call Of the SEN
ate. After Lord Clarendons speech Mr.. Bu-
chanan called en- him for an explanation, and Lord
Clarendon said his statements were predicted on
the interviews mentioned. Mr.. Buchanan ex-
cepted to the warrant for such unusual proceed
ing on so grave matter. Lord Clarendon then
informed him for the first time that his instructions
on the subject had been sent to Mr.. Champion in
November.
Neither these instructions nor the propositions
were communicated to Mr.. Marcy until
"Wednesday night at II o'clock, and then
Mr. Champions only attempted explanation
was that he overlooked the instructions at the close
of short dispatch. The most material part, too.
An impression exists strongly mere that the same
double dealing has been exhibited in this matter as
in the enlistment, and Mr. Champion has shown
himself either incompetent or delinquent, accord
ing TO his own pretended justification, The gus
picion is that these instructions were never sent
at all until Mr.. Buchanan made issue on facts con-
tanned in Lord Clarendon's speech, and they were
contryed for the occasion. II ishighy improbable
that an astute Minister ike Mr. Champion would
neglect important Instructions on serious question
which had been pending for years and threatening
the peace of two countries, when they contem-
plated mode of adjustment.
