SLAVE CATCHING Us. STATE SOVER-
EIGHTY.

The public mind is familiar. With the history Of
the slave prosecutions which grew out Of tho es
cape of Joshua Glover, on the 18th of March,
1854. The decision of our Supreme Court, pro-
nouncing the Fugitive Slave act. on which these
prosecutions were founded, demonstrations and
Void. was hailed with more universal approval than
env decision of any court in this country, and
there is no question that the people of Wisconsin
arc resolved to sustain the decision of our court at
all times, and at all hazards, whenever called upon
20 do so.
The effect Of that decision upon us personally,
was to release us, for the time, from the fine and
i'm prisounaent imposed upop AS by the decree of
Judge Miller. But the civil suit was prosecuted
TO Judgment in Judge Miller's Court, despite the
decision of our Supreme Court; and our printing
press and fixtures are levied on and advertised to
be sold two weeks from this day, at 10 o'clock in
the forenoon, to satisfy the claim of the slave.
catcher, his officers and attornies, for the sum of
81, 400, and the costs of sale. 1t remains to be
seen, whether the decision of our Supreme Court,
over which there has been so much rejoicing, has
any vitality or force. Whether the property of
our citizens can be taken and sold under q void
law. Whether the sovereignty of the State can
be set at nought and be trampled under foot by
slave catehers and their agents, with impunity.-
Whether the State has the power and the will to
protect its citizens from fine and imprisonment,
and the confscation of their property, under void
and demonstrations enactments.
If our printing press can BIO sold to reward the
slave-catcher for his outrage upon Law, Liberty
aed the Constitution, and we have no remedy, and
the State Will not ~interpose the shield of its SOW
ereigDty to defend as, the next step will be our
seizure snd Imprisonment on the criminal judg
ment already declared void by our Supreme Court,
And the supineness of the people under such an
outrage upon the rights Of the State, the dignity

Of Law and their own liberties, would not only jus
tify the organs and agents of tbs Slave Power tc
proceed to such extremities, but would invite fur

The SLAVE TRADE.-Thc Spanish slave-dealers,
having met with serious obstacles of late ia the
prosecution of their business in New York, are
said to have adopted New Orleans as their rende1-
vous. The Havana correspondent of The Tr:bsns
says:"To my certain knowledge some ten or twelve
Spanish vessels have been despatched from there
to the coast. Among the American vessels em-
ployed in the trade, ! will only mention the brig
Adams Gray, which was sold here tot Spanish
house for $1,000, to be delivered in New Orleans.
She, probably has already received her despatch.
The cargo OF these vessels consists of lumber, rum,

Africa. Dropping down the river, the vessel is

THE ANTI SLAVERY BUGLE.

The editor of the Ant- Slarery Buge, in espy.
ing a considerable portion Of tho Report Of the.
Managers of the late National Anti Slavery Bs.sar
in this city. takes occasion TO comment uron one
sentence in that report, wherein the Anti Slavery
Standard is spoken Of as the only 'absolutely free or
gan of an association, AS the LiJerator 10 Of an indi-
vidual.' The Editor of tbeBugle modostly bu. arm.
ly urges that that paper, which is the organ Of the
Western Anti-Slavery Society, is fairly entitled 10
claim for itself the name and reputation of being
a free paper,-the free organ of an anti.slsvery
association lilo is right. There is no journal
published in the land, North, East. or West, (ths
South of course is out Of tho question, where mon
don't dare think, much less speak, more entirely
entitled to the confidence and respect of all levers
of freedom, of all friends of the sla We, than tho
Anti S3arery Bugle of Ohio; and it has never been
worthier of this reputation than II 10 now. This d.
is n sufficient introduction to the following letter,
which we need not say it gives US great pleasure
to inserts. ~, JR. .-
WEYMOUTH, Feb. 18th, 1857.
DEAR Mr.. GARRISON Will you be 80 obliginr
MS to admit a statemcnt in reference to q passage
of the report cf the Bazaar, which l have just
learned has been perverted by the opponents of
the cause in the West, to the injury Of The Ans;-
Slavery Bugle.
Our concentrations of the Standard were given u
representatire'y, - not exclusively. The Bugle.t.
though another, is yet the same. 1t is q portion u
of the same free press of the American Anti.Sla-
very Society, which we feel it privilege to sup.
port. Its auxiliaryship ensures it's excellence;
for no other paper than the best can continue ia
such a connections; since it takes the very highest
and ability to maintoin a union with .
movement conducted on principles which take from
US all we have,-make us no pecu niary return
and it is not always at the moment that We per-
ceive how much they enlarge and strengthen our
selves.
Prompted by an afectionate respect to Mrs.
Foster, MI. Robinson, and oil who have founded
continued the Bugle by the sacrifice of their
lives to its maintenance, We were about to say in
the Bazaar Report what we now say; but were
checked by the reflection which must needs come
up hundreds OF times in crowding a report Of
of good deeds into orc page-'Only the
generic terms no,c. Never try to sny in one breath
all that could be said" Since learning, however.
the misuse, in this instance, made of the absence
of specification, we are exceedingly sorry not to
have left out something else to make room for the
above, and seize with satisfaction the opportunity
afforded by the Bugle for commencing it in the
very same terms as the Standard, to general cir.
am, sir, always.
Yours for the cause.

PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.

BLAIR CouNTY.-A large farme house, near
Williamson occupied by Mr.. Ii. HARRISON,
was destroyed by fire on the 18th. The fire o.
riginated in the loft, by sparks from a fiue.
Two hundred pounds of lard. large quantity
of canned fruit, and other luxuries which had
been stored away for summer use, were des-
troycd. Nothing was saved except two beds.
The barn was on fire several times during the
burning of the house, bat was saved from des-
truction. A boy named Christopher Hart,
fell into stone quarry, east of the Babtist
Church, Holldaysburg, on the 18th, and, the
quarry having been filed with water by the
late rains, he was drowned before succor could
be rendered. He was about twelve years of
age. A child of Joseph Story, about four
years of age, fell into Sharrer's boat slip, in
Hollidaysburg, one day last week, and would
have been drowned but for the timely aid Of
Col. John A. Lemon, who happened to be pas
sing. - The door of the store-room lately oc-
cuped by A. Schloss, in Tyrone, was forced
open few evenings since, but the scamp got
nothing for his trouble, as the store has been
empty for some time. Look to your locks.

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-We last week made
brief mention of a decision of the U. 5. Cir
cult Court in an action brought by Zebulon
Parker against VIM. Bigler, VIM. Powell and
John I. Weaver, of Clearfield, to recover dam
ages for the Infringement of patent granted
to Parker in 1929, for an Improvement on hy-
draulic power, called a Percussion and Re-ac-
tion Water Wheel This case, which was tried
on the 18th and 18th of May inst, was regard
ed with some interest, says the Pittsburgh
Commercial Journal, as being the first trial OF
a suit in this Court for the Infringement of this
pateut. There are many other similar cases
pending, and it was supposed that the result OF
ono would lead to the abandonment or settle
ment of the remainder. The plaintiff proved
his title by his patent and various assignments.
In connection with this part of the case, 1t was
held by Judge Grier, upon authority and for
the purpose of securing uniformity OF prac-
fice in the second Circuit, that certified copy
from the Patent Office, of an assignment re-
corded therein, would be received as prtHd
facie evidence of the genuineness oil the origi'
nal assignment, and that the production oi
such original might be dispensed with. MOD
els of the defendants wheels were produced
ard upon examination were pronounced by eX-
perts to be within the principle of the patented
invention of the plaintiff. Proof of the time
during which the wheels were used was also
given, and after an able charge from his Hon
or, Judge Grier, upon the question Of dana.

ges, the jury found in favor of the plaintiff,
assessing his damages at S204 and costs.
Il is proper to add that it was remarked by
one of the plaintiffs attorneys, in the course
of the trial, that the great mistake of infrin-
ges which had led to 30 much litigation, was
the snpposition that Parker invented partic-
ular form of wheel. This was not the case.
Parker's invention consisted in his peculiar
method of applying the water on any reaction
wheel.
