Of the Cleveland Sheriff and placed n the cns-
tody of the Marshal, who now guards him By

picable trick xas to prevent writa1 As1tas ed'-
pas, issued By the Supreme Court OF the sta'e'
from being obcyed By the Sheriff. The cle'e-
land Leader well remarks:
Nothing seems 50 wholly to degrade man
~ beooHmg tie tool IL s1ave- -eaachers, onclauy
or otherwise. The degradation is complete
from the bench to the bailif-from the mi hiel
to the boy-kiduapper. A Jefrcys Court haA ns

loving in regard to the application:
In the Supreme Court yesterday, m app!ica:
uon = a. lnRAe " JuuHe oPA44oA0k' - J.;
the citizens Of Lorain County now confined II
the jail Of Cuyahoga County BY order q tne .;
s. District Court for the Northern District Of
Ohio, for the writ Of ha6ea1 corpus.
In making his application, Ar. s. rf@afkeo
that under this proceeding he proposed 70 ~
excess Of Legislative power and an inaoEasion Gt
upon the sovereign prerogatiTes q tne sta.e,
which alone had power to regulate, BY palns and
;nna1'es, the internal police Of the Common
wealth.
ns. insisted that this tribunal was the eonsti-
citizen of Ohio, and, as such, it was peculiarly
fit and proper that it should tnke eognHance OF
any infringement Of this great right, whether by
the Fcdcrnl court or any other power
The Court entered q rule on the United states
Marshal Of the Northern District. and Sheriff Of
Cuyahoga County, rs well rs the United States
District Attorney for said Northern District, to
show cause By ten o'clock On Saturday, the 23d
inst, why the writ of haJ<at oo,73s should not
issue according to the prayer Of the applicants
A notice was promptly served upon the Mar
shal, the District Attorney and the Sheriff. cou~
1nanding them " and each Of them to appear be-
fore the said Court on Saturday the twenty third
dav of April L. D. 1859, at ten o'clock 4. H., OF
said day, and show cause, If any they have, why
= writ Of Aa1ta* corpus in this behalf should not
issue in accordance with the prayer Of the ap-
| plicants.'' The Lader says:
District Attorney Belden wns not 8 little e1-
cited By the above notice. He was heard to
threaten that the prisoners should not pc taken
| to Columbus on writ Of habeds corpus from the
Supreme Court Of Ohio, md that they could not
be tuken to the cars, savc through the cannons
| mouth! The b5ayado United States officials
evidently contemplate making the streets Of our
peaceful city bristle with United States bayon
The u. S. district Attorney cooled of enough
however By evening to take the train to Co:um,
TINS. Marshal johnson remained to guard and
wait upon his imprisoned witnesses, the klduap.
pers Jennings and Mitchell, and the convicted
bushnell, who was yesterday diagracefully de-
coyed from the County Jail to the Marshals
prison, Ia fugitive John BY the young villain
Doynton.
We await with deep interes. the further moves
in the game between the Free Soilers OF the
buckeye State and the catif1s of the Slnve Power
Judge Spauldiug, following the memorable pre-
cedent set by the Supreme Court Of Wisconsin,
trarerses the constltutiouality Of the iniquitoua
and disgraceful Fugitive slave act. That is the
true issue to make. 1t will bring the whole
difficulty to head, aud settle the question for
the future, whether the soil Of Ohio il hunting
ground for kiduappers on which to catch run
away slaves On shares, or otherwise.
