A RESCUE.

A stakeholder from Virginia, by name Stun
made his appearance in Blairsville, Pa, a fe'
DAYS since In pursuit of q fugitive slave. He VA
accompanied by bogus Deputy L. S. Marsha
from UnioDtown and q second assistant who was /
identify tho chattel. The enterprise seemed a
frst to prosper. They mado a successful entry
into the place, secured their victim and were abou
TO cave in triumph, when the fact Of tho seizur,
becoming noised about the town, its inhabitant,
came hocking to the scene Of capture from all
quarters and with evident disregard of the dignity
and authority Of the three representatives Of the
Union, proceeded to libera,e the fugitive from
custody by a summary process not laid down ia
tho books. The kidnappers defended themselves
with threats and blows, and finally fred a revol-
YER into the crowd but hurt no one. Finally, says
the Pittsburg Gazette:
1.-THE "Blairsyillians" took the slave away and
concealed him, or shipped him IN the underground
railway. or got him out Of sight in some sort. 1t
was 'presto change"-now the little joker was
here and now he was not. After the rescue was
complete, tho dignity Of the Fugitive Slave Law =
as persenated by the deputy marshal and Mr..
Stump, one of the second Families, and the other
body-found it necessary to beat q speedy retreat
out Of tue town. They were in fact with many
marks Of indignity driven out and expelled
They in much haste withdrew towards the june
ton Of the Blairsville with the Pennsylvania
Railroad a distance from this rebeliious village, OF
some two miles.
"The crowd followed, pelting them till they
wero beyond the limits. But when they had got
q good part of the way towards the station, a
party of 'niggors," who were by the way side
as if to max an ambush, SGT upon them, and Mr..
Stump had to stir his stumps anew. After other
hair breadth escapes too numerous to mention in
this succiHct history, the gallant band of kidnap-
pers got in safety to the junction, and further
than this dcponens saith not on this point.
at SO happened that a very worthy citizen Of
this city, b. NJ. Kerr, Esq, walked up from the
junction to Blairsville with the slave catchers,
not knowing their business. He had gone over
there in the same train to deliver n lecture, and
eitlsens. In fact, thu eais were made, until some
friends Of Mr.. Kerr, men who knew he would not
be guilty Of a base action, came up and certified
to the facts in the case and took him with them to
enjoy their hospitality. We cannot close without
expressing the profundity of our feelings of as
Constituent that such a law defying people are our
neigh1ors. A more utter disregard of tho peace
and safety of this union could not have been
exhibited even in the black republican city Of.

MRS. swISsHELM'S PRESS DESTROYED
BY A MOB.

Mrs. Swisshelm formerly Of The Visitor OF
Pittsburs has for some months past published a
paper Of tho same name at St. Cloud, Minnesota,
Her habit Of free sre sch seems to have made her OBJ
noxious to some OF the border ruffans OF that city
who cannot endure tho practice Of this attribute
Of free men and free women. They accordingly
entered the Office in the night time and 'demolish,
ed the press, type and printing material.
Mrs. Swisshelm says that the outrage was per-
petrated in part because she had not been un.
mindful Of the usurpation of the men who had
swindied themselves into the state Offices Of
Minnesota in opposition to the will of q majority
Of the people, but especially because she had
denounced slave ny and womehwhippcrs, their
aiders and abetters." The ~rufians left the follow
ing explanatory letter in the sacked Office.
ST. CLOUD, March ii, SO.
Editor Of the Visitor: The citizens of St. Cloud
have determined to abate the nuisance Of which
you have made the Visitor" a striking spcci-
men.
They have decided that it is fit only for tae
inmates of brothels, and you seem to have had
some ex perience OF the tastes OF snch persons.
You will never have the opportunity to repeat
the offence in this town, without paying II more
serious penalty .han you do now.
by order of the COMMITTEE Of Vigilance.
a large body OF the respectable citizens OF st.
Cloud subsequently met to condemn the outrage
OF the Vandals. and Mrs. Swisshelm addressed
them in a speech exhibiting a spirit Of noble re-
sistance. In the course OF her address she said
at is apprehended that my life will actually
be offered up a sacrifice to propitiate the spirit
of that glorious institution of woman.whipping,
which a clique of domagogues are straining every
nerve to extend over our native country and per-
petuato to remotest ages.
"If you think, gentlemen, that it will be we'll
for the honor of St. Cloud that | should die here
and in this cause, Gods will be done My will is
made, my pledge will be redeemed, my VOW fulfill,
ed, and my life given in the cause of Gods suffer-
ing poor"

THE SLAVE TRADE IN LoUIsIASA.--Though the
proposition to authorize the slave trade under the
pretext of importing apprentices from Africa was
lost in the senate of Louisiana, the project is not
abandoned nor is this vote considered a defeat.
1t seems to be only a polite postponement to
secure its success hereafter. In the meantime
the discussion OF the question is going forward
and the public mind being prepared for the piracy
next year. The Louisiana papers state that the
postponement was effected by friends at the sug'
gestion of their political friends at Washington.
Thns it would seem that Washington authorities,
and the Louisiana slave traders have an under
standing in the matter. For appearance sake a
sham investigation is to be made into the Pearl
river trade in Kidnapped Africans. OF course it
will be only q sham. The powers ut Washington
are the willing instruments of the Shareholders
and slave traders.
