AN UPRIGHT JuDGE.-In the case of the convicted
and sentenced Oberlin slave rescuers whom the
Abolitonists hoped to have discharged from impris
onment, by the Supreme Court of Ohio, on habeas
corpus, Judge Swan thus noby concludes the opinion
of the Court :
As a citizen l would not deliberately violate the
Constitution or the law by interference with fugtyes
from Justice But if weary, frightened slave would
appeal to me to protect him from his pursuers it is
possible might momentarily forget my allegiance to
the law and Constitution and give him covert from
those who were on his track-there are, no doubt,
many shareholders who would thus follow the in.
stincts Of human sympathy. And if did it, and was
prosecuted, condemned and imprisoned, and brought
by my counsel before this tribunal on habeas cor.
pus, and was then permitted to pronounce judgment
IN my own case, trust l should have the moral
courage TO say before God and the country, as am
now compelled to say, under the solemn duties Of a
Judge, bound by my official oath to sustain the supre
macy OF the Constitution and the law: "The prisoners
must be remanded.'' f'''oN''S
Judge Swan was elected by the Republican party,
and few days after he delivered the above senti.
ments his party met in State Convention to nominate
Judge of the Supreme Court, and selected another
man to take his place.
