HIGHER LAW TRIUMPH IN Quo
Jail at Cleveland on the 9th, was great
triumph for the anti-slavery men. 1t APP
pears that the prosecutions against the
Oberlin people were not instigated by the
kentuckians who had lost slave, hut by
the democratic officials of Ohio, as mere
partizan movement and to put themselves
in good position with the powers at Wash
iugton. When the Kentuckians, who had
been sent for as witnesses, against the
Oberlin people, were themselves arrested
and held for trial as kidnappers, with a fair
prospect that an Ohio jury would convict
them and they be sent to the penitentiary,
they complained bitterly to the democrats
who had got them into the scrape. The
district attorney accordingly proposed as
the shortest mode of ending the whole con-
troversy, a sort of exchange of prisoners;
the indictments against the Oberlin rescu-
ers should be mol pros'd if the abolitionists
would consent to the same process in favor
of the Kentuckiaus Peace was made on
these terms, and all the parties were releas-
ed on the 9TH except Bushnell, whose sent
ence expired on Saturday, so that all of
them are now at large. But what becomes

band of music playing patriotic national
airs, accompanied the rescuers to the depot
where Judge Bratton made speech, and
