The Echo Slave Case.

y short time ago one of our city pa
pers took much pains to acquit the South
of any desire to reopen the African
slave trade, and referred, in proof, to the
found in Charleston against
the crew of the SLAYER Echo. Since then
the cases have gone to trial, and the ae-
cused have been acquitted. The Char
lesion Mercury gives the following ex-
PLANTATION of the action of the jury:
alt is most probable that they may
have been satisfied with thinking that il
would be not only inconsistent, but crue
and hypocritical, for them,. as members
of a community here slaves ar,
bought and sold every day, and are a
much and as frequently articles of com
merce as the sugar and moIasses whicl
they produce, to pass condemnation an
a verdict Of guilty of death upon me
whose only crime was that they wer
going to a far country to bring in NOR
supplies of these articles of trade, thes
commodities and in this case not eve
to trespass upon our soil, but to carr
them to a foreign land, to Cuba, an
merely throw them into the market
nations.
It's most probable that this was ii
ducing ground Of the rerdict, and if S
every other case will be the Echo to thi
, Further prosecution is idle, expense,
and vain"

81 The Washington States having
asked Col. Forney whether he and his
friends in Pennsylvania pledge them
selves to support the nominations of the
Charleston Convention, Col. F. replies
through the Press as follows:
- If the nominees of the Charleston
Convention shall be the representative
of the principle of non Intervention and
popular sovereignty, as accepted, advo-
Gated, and understood in 1856, as ex-
planned and defended in 1858 by Stephen
A. Douglas and his associates, and as
applied by leading Southern statesmen
then do we pledge ourselves to suppor
the nominees of that Convention with
all our zeal. But if, on the other hand
that Convention shah be committed, il
any shape, to the theory so eloquently
denounced by the .States-that this gov
eminent is to be dedicated : to the pro
pagation of slavery'-then we shall IN
questionably oppose its nominees"
