Gents:-A prior engagement to att end q

tive Committee at hlbany, New York, on
the 2jth inst, will prevent me complying
with your kind Invitation to attend the Con-
vention you have called, to be held at Cleve-

'Let me express my ardent hope that the
proceedings of your Convention may be such
as will permanently contribute TO the ad
vancement OF the sacred principle of freedom
justice and humanity, which have been Sc
violently assailed by the imprisonment in
your couaiy jail Of Plumb and Pike, and
their devoted colleagues, under the iasultiao
provisions Of the FHyitiUe Slare act. and that
in the contest between the an,agonisms oil
freedom and slavery, forced upon us by the
Southern oligharchy and its Northern allies
we may at all times prove ourselves worthy
descendants of the heroic founders of the
Republic, who declared one Of the great pur-
poses OF the Federal Constitution 10 be the
securing to themselves and their posteity
"the blessing OF liberty" .
"Accept the assurance Of my sincere re-
gard personally, and Of my uncompr isins hos.
tility to slavery and despotism in every

The Odious Features.

The Journal says the Republican party is
not contending against the Constitution, but
only the odious features Ofthe Fugitive-slavo
Law. (Pray, what are they! Can our
neighbOr inform us!) But we beg to differ.
The Republican platform demands the repeal
of the whole law, and proposes ne amend
meni, no substitute. 1t demands the uncon-
ditional eraslre from the statutes ofthe only
Jaw upon the subject, positively rendering
null and void the Constitutional provision
for the return oflusitive slaves. If this is
not opposing the Constitution then we CON.

Singular.

The Republican Platform, adopted at Co.
lumbus Oh the 2nd inst, contains this reso.
luton
SO. ReSolusd, That procaiming ourdeter-
mination rigidiy 10 respect the cons ,ituional
Obligations imposed upon the States by the
Federal compact, we maintain the Union OF
the States, the rights of the States and the
liberties of the people; and, in order to at
tain these important ends, we demand the
repeal of the Fugitive-slave Act of 1850, as il
is subversive of both the rights of the States
and the liberties of the people, and as contra
ry to the plainest duties ofhumapity and JUS
tce, ard abhorrent to the moral sense of the
civilized world"
1t is singular that, if the Fugitive slave
law is so "aGhorent 10 the sense of the civil
lized world" the Republicans in Congress
have never made an attempt TO repeal i; I!
Although four years have elapsed since the
formation of the Republican party. not even
a proposition 10 amend the law has been
laid before Congress. 1t is, also, remark.
able fact, that last fall, when Congressman
were to be elected, the Republican leaders
said not a word about that law Why p
They wanted the votes of old.line Wings

A Determined Suicide e-Extraordinary
Tenacity of Life.

A case of suicide occurred i'm this city, yester-
day, in which most extraordinary tenacity OF
lite was manifested. Tho particulars, as we learn
them, are as follows: An aged gentleman, nam
ed Charles Knapp. who has been boarding Mt No.
| Bumstead place for some timo past, retired to
his room yesterday noon aud made preparations
for committing suicide. lle first wrote two lot
tors addressed to u relative residing in Roxbury,
containing directions in regard to tho disposal of
his property and then swallowed largc dose oi
lnudanum. Before the opiate had operated, he
tok "a razor and drew il across the right side ol
his neck making u ghastly wound but not sever
ing tho judgular vein.
Not satisfied with tho result Of this wound h 0
took n large butcher knife. with which ho had
provided himself and cut the left sido OF his mock
aud throat. from which the blood flowed most CO.
piously, His strength still remaining, and. as II
would seem. his reason also. he walked % u tablo
where ho had laid loaded dnuble-barrellcd pis-
tol, took mp the weapon and fired tho contents of
ono barrel into his head. The contents Of the pis
tol charge entered his forehead. between his eyes.
making holo nearly nm inch in diameter and
breaking out several pieces OF bone, which were
found on tho door of the room, Attcr this last el
fort at self destruction he crnwled to the spot
where he had laid tho butcher knifc, seized il and
drew tho blade across his forehead several times
iuhicting terrible gashes.
lie now foil upon tho 1oor, onsping tho butch
cr knife in his hand and torrents of blood ilov
ing from his wounds, in which condition hc was
found by u servant who WAS sent to call him Ia
dinner. PHYSICIANS were instantly summoned
and, Notwithstanding tho combined effects Of
poison. knife and pistol ho survived ill lnle IN
the evonng, when DEATH which seemed so reluo
tant ut first, came IL his relief.
Mr. Knapp had been sen captain for many
years, in which uvocntion he had ncqui, csl hand
some fortune, and had retired from active he wit Ia
the intention of spending his remaining years i II
comfort aud quiet en.c. lie was, we understand
II near relative of Chri Justice Shaw. and In
left u mnilen sister who resides in thi. city. II
is thought temporary insanity WAS the cause ol
this melancholy case OF sef destruction.
