Me. JoliIc closed about half past - o'clock, and
Col. Chambers said that in view Of the new course
of argument, he was not prepared to reply, and
requested the Court to adjourn to Q o'clock this
morning.
No objection was majo to this.
Commissioner Pendcry stated that the decision
would not be given Immediately On tho close Of
the argument, but he would require some time
a longer time perhaps, tLan the case had been try
ing-to decide.
Jacob Fine, attorney for The Marshal hoped il
the case was to last so long, that come order would
be made about tho Deputy Marshs!s. Mr.. Bennett

THURSDAY, FEB. I'm,
TIE FUGITIyES INDICTED AND IN TIE
CUSTODY OF TIE SHERIFF.
Court met at Q o'clock, but tho f%ugitiycs did not
appear. Sheriff Drashears, however, was present,
and stated to the Court that they were bis prison
els, having been indicted before the Grand Jury
for aiding and abe,ting the crime Of murder
There had been no Wrestling Of the prisoners from
the US. Marshal, but he (the MarshaDhad placed
them in the county Jail Uho Shcria's castle) for
safe keeping, and on the warrant coming into his
hands, the Sheriff had simply kept them there, and
turned the Marshal and his special deputies out.
After Il long consultation, it was finally agreed
that if tho Sheriff would brig them down and
permit them to be present at the remainder of tile
trial, the Commissioner would make no order to
interfere with his custody of them.
a little after eleven o'clock the prisoners were
in by the Deputy Marshal, Mr.. brown
halfpas eleven, Col. Chambers commenced his
argument.
lie said, speaking Of Mr.. JoliAes speech: !
must say, and have said, that that speech was a
great effort eloquent and powerful-but it was
the outpOuring Of a heart and intellect iaunjiccd
by prejndicc-of a mind warped by fanatici.m.-
The whole of his argument was on the sinfulress
slavery. and OK the question whether you, as a
Commissioner, could perform the duties prescribed
by the law in this case without violating the law
Of God.
lie then gave a history of the progress Of Anti
sentiments in Kentucky-of the starting

ut Lexington, and the destruction Of the press; al

His very first u~tterancc of an origi-
idea on the platform had been at that time
He advocated, and always had since, the abolition
of the institution.
Our liberties were conquered by shareholders as
well as by the free men Of the North. Many of
the old pioneers of liberty held these people in SER
vitude, and found no harm in it bat found comfort
and ease. They had not learned to reason about
its sinfulness, and had no Mr.. Jollifc, or VIM.
Lloyd Garrison among them to denounce them for
it.
In regard to his (Mr. J%ollifc's) remark that "the
meaner a white man is, the more he hates "A negro"
| say | do not know a white man under the sun
that hates a negro, l know some negroes that |
love, and all of them I pity. We of the South are
en- more intimate terms with them, and love them
bettor than our brethren of the North.
Ny learned friends Mr.. J%oliGe's) speech was
devoted principally to the Constitutional, or what
| would call the Christian aspect Of the case. lie
argued that q man should not be forced to do what
his conscience don't like to, and advised you 1.-THE
Commissioner to look to the law Of God, and leave
out that Of Congress- but I've no apprehension
that you'll do any such thing as that.

titled, "a Norfhera Prestyteriaa's Second Letter to
Ministers Of tie Gospel Of all Deaomiaahons,o on STA,
ceIy, by Nathan Lord. Of Dartmouth College"
The views Of DR.. Lord be approved and recon-
mended. One of the passages read gave some
ideas of the meliorations and improvements sla-
very would have to receive in order to make it Il
suitable institution to exist under the millenni-
um.
But, said he, there is a good time ahead,--life
10 the nation if the people will only be quiet. We
nave the Union yet, and let those who would dis.
solve it for the sake of the slave remember that in
achieving the liberty of three millions of blacks
they are periling those of twenty-lour millions oG
the white race. The States separated-isolated
would soon he parcelled out by Francis Joseph,
Louis Napoleon and Queen Victoria, as they par
celled out Poland.
After reviewing the testimony fally he declared
t as his opinion that none of the witnesses for the
slaves were worthy of crelibility, and that there
vas 40 testimony produced before the Commissions
n to sustain their case. These people, said he,
will claim sympathy-even l sympathizc with
hem, but the case must be determined by the law
the facts.
He then stated that the exposition of the consti-
ution was vested in the final resort in theSupreme
court of the U. s., and that all subordinate tribu-
ials, State or National, were bound by their decis-
ons.
lie then cited authorities, to show, that free soil
lid not make free men. A slave, he said, did not
'esome free by being brought into u free State,
lnless there was an act of domiciliation-thc mere
passing through did not give the right to freedom.
1t is only in modern times that this comfy has
,een denied. AS far back as we chouse to 60, it
xisted. The master brought his body servant to
he very borders of Canada-to Philadelphia, and
