their cases continued to the Oc.ober term of
the Common Pleas Court. They were, how
ever, continued to the 9Th of July next, to give
them time to procure witnesses and prepare

Owing to some defect in the indictment the
old one was nolled, and a new one was found
by the Grand Jury of the present term.
Attorney BeIdeu moved to have the kidnap-

Judre Andrews and the Rescue Gases
Afer publishing sketch Of the speech Of
Judge Andrews in behalf Of Messrs. De Wolf
Loyc1rl and Wadsworth, the Summit County
BeasUn with farce remarks;
We do not feel disposed to censure these men
harshly for Welding to the law Of the strongest
With a malignant Court, reckless prosecutor
and packed Jury against them, with the whole
patronage and resources Of the Government ar.
rayed TO secure their conviction az all hazards,
their innocence was no protection against such
cdds and they apparently stood no chance. -
The case Of Langstou. showed what trial and
result they might expect The costs aocumula
ted like rolling snow ball, would suffice to
swallow up their estates. ltrequired the spirit
of a Pym or a Hampden, to resist "the crown"
in any illegal demand Such men as they are
few in any generation; very few, it would seem,
in this But the mere honor TO the few who
are heroic enough to stand upon their rights to
the last, against aggression.
Judge Andrews not only wronged bis clients
by sacrificing their honor as an oblation to the
Court, hut he wronged the people of Northern
Ohio, 10y thus needlessly aud obsequiousy
humbling these three men From his depletion
of their case, one might infer that, with the eK
ception of a few fanatics at Oberlin and else
where, the people of Northern Ohio were ready
to acquiesce in the execution Of the Fugitive
act, and had no desire to contest its validity
His doings we doubt not, were forthwith tele
gr1phed the Washington as a Government tri
| umph, precisely as was the fact that "three o
the most respectable" had given bail.
This scene was unquestionaby pre-. arranged
between Judge Andrews and the Court. Il
served well to divert attention from the aagiti
Gus sentence pronounced the day before on
Bushnell aud the eloquent plea OF Mr.. Lang.
ston then jus. closed Admiration Of his manly
defence, gave place to indignation against thi.
! iunkey servility.
! We should not have expected this course
from Judge A. though we should look for nC
manly word OF act of his, in any case requiring
moral courage in word or deed. STILL we should
hardly have supposed he would so promptly lent
himself as tool Of the Federal authorities, but
that we had learned that during these trials, he
had been frequently closeted with Judge Will
son presumably to advise with him as a "friend
Of the Court" and that upon the streets anc
elsewhere he had been profuse in sneers ant
derision against the defendants.
Judge Andrews has now qualified himself lol
associnting with District Attorney Belden
Il ough teljen might alege in eXtenuation
that the duty was imposed on him by bis ofic,
and by direction Of his superior, while Judg,
Andrews is a volunteer The latter will moi
fail of his recompense. He may properly b,
retained in the remaining prosecutions apC
even have the honor of assisting in the De
fence of the parties indicted for kidnapping IL

Some such adequate recompense must surely
await him, else it is no longer true that

Mr.. Buchanan's Marshals in the North have
first to be vigiant slave catoheis, and next to
use official patronage so as to advance the in
terests of the party. The Washington cores
pondent Of the Philadelphia Press states that
confidential orders have been issued to all the
United States Marshals in the Free States to
be careful in the selection Of their jurors, and
to make all due use Of the patronage Of their
respective offices in reference to the taking OF
the census in 1860 It is made their especial
duty to impress every juror and Deputy Marshal
with the idea that he is to do all in his power
to sustain the administration. At the recent
sitting Of the U. 8 Court for the Western Dis
trict of Pennsylvania, most Of the Democratic
editors were summoned as jurors The attempt
to Tylerize was So palpable that the mass meet
ing of the fraternity laughed heartily over the
Joke.

After eloquent remarks by Rev. J. Poindex

does not conflict with right and justice, but WI
vii not obey an unjust enactment unless W,
are physically coerced.

disobey the Fugitive Slave Law, whether it b,
unconstitutional or not for the reason that j
conflicts with the law ofGod, which binds us I,
do unto others as we would have them do unit,
US.
Res0lUed, That we hold the man who woult
betray the painting fugitive slave into the hand
of the slave holder, to be unfit for heaven, God
habitation unfit to dwell upon the earth among
honorable men, as fit to be associated with
those only whom God has declared he viii
drive from his presence forever.
Kssstusfs have 2ffdt Gsffd dthtt tPSt tgrahti fR'
of this country that they will not be permitted
to carry on their slave-huntng operations on
the free soil of Lorain county, and have thus
established their claim to the affections and
confidence of every person in the country who
loves liberty aud hates slavery
ResoiUed, That we deeply sympathize with
the "WeDgton Rescuers" in the affliction
which has come upon them through obeying
the law of God, rather than the bloody statutes
of men, and pledge whatever help may be in
our power to alleviate that affliction.
ReSoiUed, That the journals of this city be
requested to publish the proceedings of this
meeting, and that the Cleveland papers be re-
specttully solicited to do the same thing. Ad.

The Washington correspondent of the Times
states that the demand of the British Minister
for the surrender of Marshal Tyler, of Detroit,
will not be acceded to, as the case is not be-
lieved by the Administration, whose pet officer
Tyler is, to come within the provisions Of the
Ashbuton Treaty. Tyler has been tried in
the U S. Federal Court, was found guilty OF
mansaughter in shooting Capt Jones, Of the
brig Concord, in British waters, and was SEN
fenced by Judge wilkins to 80 days in Jail and
to pay a fine of one dollar OF course the
United States cant spare such an official. Fl,

Cow swalIowIng a Bro omsticI, !

Mr. Samuel Adams, who lives in the North
part Of Medina, owns "a COW, which in April
1853, he discovered choking to death. Not
knowing what to do, he took broomstcb
laying near, and thrust it into her throat TO re-
lieve her. The COW not relishing such pro-
ceedings, broke away from him, and in her
struggles severed the brOomstick in twain
MIR. A., still more alarmed, again caught the
COW and thrust his arm into her throat, but
before he could reach the stick the COW had
swallowed it. The COW recovered from the
choking, and has since appeared as well as
ever. The stick remained in her until last
Friday upwards Of l3 months, and measured
just eighteen inches. During, last Summer
Mr.. A. noticed, while at his milking, portions
Of food on the ground, where the COW had
lain through the night, which had protruded
through hole in her side. Last Friday, the
end Of the stick was visible at this hole, when
it was taken from her. The stick can be
seen at Mr. II. Aliens.
The COW is doing we'll and probably feels
somewhat relieyed.-Mediaa Gasetie.
