An Important Decislon-Ohio Soil Free.

The opinion of the Supreme Court was this
morning given upon'a case which involves a
very important principle. Of which we can
give only a bare outline to-day. A slave,
named Poindexter. was ownedby'a man named
Anderson. living in Kentucky, near the Ohio
river: Poindexter was trusty and of much
valIe. His master sent him across the river in
to Ohio, to transact business for him, and to do
srands. He agreed to give Poindexter his free
dom for the sum of four hundred dollars. Poin.
dexter executed notes with sufficient sureties for
the payment Of the money. He went TO work
in this State and in Kentucky to raise the
money by the labor Of his hands. When one
Of the notes became due, payment was refused,
shd the owner Anderson brought suit in the
Ohio courts to recover of the sureties.
The suit was contested on the ground that
Poindexter was already free before the notes
were given. BY having been brought or sent into
Ohio by his master, and therefore there was no
CONFEDERATION gi ven for the notes. This is the
chief point in the case, so far as principle is
involved. But there are several other points
of interest. Our Supreme Court decide that
this position is well tax n and that the bringing
or sending slave into this State makes him
free. To this point Judge BIrtley dissents the
other Judges agree upon it, This, it will be
seen conflicts with the Dred Scott Law of the
United States Court, as recently expounded by
Judge fancy, but it is good law, nevertheless,
and will stand as such in the State of Ohio
Her soil is free SOIL and slave holders can neih-
81 bring nor send their slaves within our limi S
and hold them again as property.--O. s. Jour.
An eminent attorney handed us the paper
yesterday containing the above, requesting us to
thank God that the Dred Scot decision was not
yet law in Ohio. and who does not feel thankful
that Ohio is yet true TO the great principles OF
Freedom and will have them obeyed within heI
borders, Chief Justice Taneys decision to the
contrary Notwithstanding

By the following from the Perlysburg Journal
we aru grathed to observe that their attentive and
ef,ient Representative, has been well received and
,!uily appreciated by his constituents at home
His admirable business qualifications, ard fine So
cial Temperament, gave him position in the House
among his fellow members highly honorable to
himself and useful to the constituency he repre-
sentcd. If the people of Wood and Ottawa coun-
ties look well to their interests, they will see that
the Doctor is returned to the House, as their Re-
preventative again this fall His success in carry
ing through the House every measure by him pre-
sented for the benefit Of his constituents Is suifl-
cient endorsement of his standing in that body.

certain that his return TO the Legislature is fixed

it, and provided also that he will consent to serve
