throughout the South and beyond as q gentleman
and citizen Of untiring public spirit, gallant de-

THE KIDNAPPING CASE, &c.-Mayor Tiemann, Of
New York, has received a communication from
Mayor Mayo, of Richmond, informing him that in
accordance with request forwarded by telegraph,
he has caused 10 be arrested Mason Thomas, the
person charged with kidnapping George Anderson,
free negro of that city, with view Of selling him
as slave in Virginia. Mr. Mayo says that he
will promptly Thomas TO be sent to that city
to answer the charge, and adds that he claims no
merit in bringing about his arrest, having done
nothing more than his duty in indicating the laws
of a sister State and thereby preventing wrong
to one of her citizens. This courtesy, he says, is
due from the fuuctionaries of each State to those
of every other. He greatly fears, however, that
bis hopes IN this respect are destined to dis
appointment, las long as any State of this Union
retains on its statute book laws made In palpable
contravention of the constitution Of the United
States, with the avowed object of preventing the
execution of law of Congress-" Mr.. Mayo con-
cudes by cordially inviting Mayor Tiemann to vi
cit Richmond on the 22d of February.
