not only this Infamous law, but to nail anc
stamp NTH eternal political infamy each
and every villain who aided in its passage
God grant that the fire of liberty which
this diabolical law has kinded in the hearts
Of tho people at the North and West, may
VRt be extinguished until every miscreant
who aided in its passage and approval, is
hurled from power and from the political
embraces of the sons of freemen, of honor
and worth.
The resolutions are good, but the last one,
offered by Judge Brownlee, of our Bench,
received the unanimous response and amen
Of the mighty mass there assembled Read
it and adopt it, then for if we must contin-
ue TO succumb to the dictation Of the infa-
nous stakeholder or suffer death, let us not
only suffer death, but even the death Of
the Jewish cross.
The resolution referred to above reads as
folIows;:]
Resolved That come life or come impris-
onment, como fine or come death, We will
neither aid nor assist in the return of any
fugitive slave; but, on the contrary, VIC will
harbor and secrete, and by all just means
protect and defend him, aud thus give him
a practical God-speed to liberty.
The above, then were Judge Ranney's
sentiments upon the Fugitive Law in 1850,
reported by paper Of his own party, and
attested by host of persons in this yicin-
ity who were present at the meeting. 1t is
only necessary to show Judge Rs. utter
subserviency to the behests Of his party,
even to the denying that he ever enter
tanned or uttered a manly sentiment upon
the subject of slavery in his life, to give
his answers at Cleveland, last week, when
interrogated by Mr.. Dennison apon the
subject. During tho discussions, the fol-
lowing, among other questions wero pro-
pounded by Dennison and answered by
Ranney. We copy from the National
Democrat:
Question-Did you in 1850, deny the
constitutionality Of the Fugitive Slave act
of 1850!
I did not.
Question-Did you in 1850, denounce
the Fugitive Slave act as unjust, and should
be repealed!
7 did not. said to the gentlemen then
as would say now-that if the law did
away with habeas corpus and the right Of
trial by jury, then it would be the proper
subject for an appeal to Congress for an
amendment. But said that there is moth
ing to be done under free government but
an appeal to the law making power, for a
remedy for abuses.
We ask, in all candor is man who so
stultifies his own record upon question of
humanity, worthy to bo elected as the Chief
Magistrate of the free people of Ohio?-
Let the answer be given at the ballot box
in October.

Desperate Gnn,bIinc.

A temporary agent of the American Ex-
press Company, at Terre Haute, Indiana,
within tho past two or three weeks, has ta-
ken packages and parts of packages of va
rious amounts of money passing through
that office, in such sums as to make an ag-
gregaie reaching nearly $4,000. This
was all staked and lost at gambling tables.
The last sum was an entire package of
$4,000 for the Park County Bank. This
was all lost in one night at a gambling sa-
loon. Growing desperate at this heavy
loss-the last of series of considerable
length-the express agent pulled pistol
from his pocket and demanded the money
or the life Of the winner Of the pile. The
money was handed back to him, and his
depredations in the express Office discovered
the next day.
Measures were taken to recover the mon
ey, nearly all of which was ascertained to
be in the hands Of parties in Terre Haute
mostly young men in the habit of play
ing cards for amusement and profit. The
position Of the parties holding the money
was such that in order to prevent exposure,
the whole amount of the money stolen,
staked and lost with the exception of some
$500, was surrendered to the Express Com

A letter from California received in New
York by tho Star Of tho West furnishes tho
following interesting and we trust reliable
information:
"You will be pleased to learn, that silver
ore Of the most extraordinary richness, has
recently been found on the Mariposa Grant.
l have obtained specimen from the men
who discovered il. II is nearly all pure sill
yer, being but slightly mixed with copper.
We learn from another source, that this sill
yer ore alluded to, contains 90 per cent. Of
silver, and was found forty feet below the
surface. The mine is on Col. Fremont's
tract. This gentleman will have in sixty
days on Merced river seyenty-two stamps at
work with plenty Of water power, and ca
pacity to work one hundred tons Of ore q
day, worth from twenty to thirty dollars a
ton"

Mr.. Seward year ago. Of lato the same
party have become great admirers of the
patriotism of the late Daniel Webster and
of the conservatism of the living Edward
Everett, who writes for tho Ledger. In a

Since Judge Ranney's emphatic denial,
at Cleveland, and elsewhere, in his discus
sions with Mr.. Dennisou, that he ever de-
nounced the Fugitive Slave Act as uncon-
sttutional, or even characterized it as uu-
just, or advocated its repeal, we have taken
some pains to look little further into the
record upon the subject, to discover, if pos
sible, whether his sentiments at that time
had been misrepresented. For this pur-
pose we have hunted up the files Of the Ma
honiDg Inder, a Democratic paper published
by John R. Church, Esq, in Garfield, at the
time the indignation meeting was held, at
which Mr. Ranney was present and spoke.
In the issue Of that paper, bearing date
November l, 1850, in addition to the official
report Of the meeting, heretofore published
from the Ohio Republican, we find the fol-
lowing editorial article, reviewing the pro-
ceedings, and giving brief report of the
various speeches made upon the occasion.
Mr.. Church, who is still resident of Can
field, and one Of the most esteemed citizens,
will testify to the correctness of the report
the report then made by him of Judge
Ranney's remarks. Besides, Mr.. Ranncy
was attending Court in Garfield at the
time, and undoubtedly saw the article, but
did not attempt to say that he had been
misrepresented. Furthermore, the editor
would not have dared to misrepresent him
when there was such ''cloud of witnesses"
to testify to the facts. We give the ar
tcle entire:

lie lived and died; he sang sweet songs
ofhower that blooms--o bird that sings
Offeelings sweet that through the dust
fife lift their forgotten wings.
His earth was Gods: he doomed he saw
In every path His image stand
On every flower unseen by all,
He saw the sabbath-resting Hand
All things to him were dear-the voice
OF ehlldhood-gee Of mother love-
He clasped the dear world TO his heart
And lifted eyes to bless above.
The brother world--he knew so we'll
Their brother saw and kRsW him not;
He roamed an exile in their land;
He died without their doors-forgot
Years passed; the sunshine seemed more bright
The May Is more blythe--tho earth more young,
Years passed. oh, sweetest lips grew sweet
When many an orphan song was sung.
Flowers human grew TO musing men
By those song-children plucked and given;
All morning gladdenng took the pulse
ofthose strange sky-larks in their hcayenl
Now many little orphan child
or song looks up into the eyes
OfPride, and Hate, and Wrong and sings
Till tears of Love and Pity rise.
These are the songs the poet sang
unnoticed on the earth long years
And the world wonders where he lies;
They seek to name his grave with tears.
None knows: no rose was planted there,
Remembering him-no lettered stone;
Those little songs, that wander lost
Are all that knew the poet lone.
"Ah," the world cries, sour brother died
Without-we needed not his call"
The proud world sighs: "These orphan songs
May live in the hearts Of ALL"

Mr.. ED1roR:-That the Republican tick.
ct is now made up, and that it is good
one, you have already announced. A good
thing needs no praising, consequently
shall not praise our present ticket. | thought
at the Convention, and think so still. that
a part Of the nominees could have been
chosen from this part of the county, so as
not to have weakened the ticket any, yet
VIC have the tail end of it, with which we
can do something at least There is nc
whining, no sore-heads hercabouts, Mr.. Ed
itor, and assure you in advance that the
ides of October will give you good ac
count of us.
Our friendsin the west end Of the county
also have some work to do, which lies even
at their doors Make good proof gentle
men, Of the trust committed to your hands.
The ticket is none the worse for being
doubly shaded with--not pea green-but
G. GREENE. And our stumpers, that may
choose to go into the west part ofthc coun-
ty, will be in as little danger of suffering
from hunger as at any place they could go,
for they will find the latch string always
out, and the country "chuck full" of BAKERS
and Cooks. The fact is we never did lack
the material for successful canvass. The
great predominant feature of the Ropubli-
can party is ssoundprinciples and strong men.
Only get them little worked up and they
can push their opponents to tho very gates
of that place which commences with H,
had almost said. But the time is short
Let none of it be wasted Let every Re-
publican in each School District in the
county be enrolled forthwith. Let each
one be visited the day before the election,
and provision made to get every one to the
polls carly in tho day. Meantime gvc our
Democratic friends an opportunity to help
us what they may,-always remembering
that friendly, gentemanly intercourse with
all is the better way. Impugn no mans
motives. Furnish them as far as in you
lies the writings of Washington, Adams,
Jefferson and other sages of our country,
whose patriotism and ability mono can
doubt, and lot them compare their princi-
Piles with those of the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties, and see which best coincide.
Democrats call us Black Republicans
The man that was drunk told his friend,
who was leading him, that he was so drunk
he would not let him lead him another
step if he threw him down again. Does
any one ask what that "stump speech in
the belly of it, sir" was! 1t was nigger,
'sir;;" or the Dred Scott decisionG another
"nigger, sir" "The enlargement of the U.
S. army" "the $So,ooO,ooO question" ''the
Transit Route question" "the occupation of
the two Northern States of Mexico" the
Opposition to the Homestead Bill and the
Pacific Railroad, have each of them ''nig-
ger" in the foreground, "nigger" in the
distance, and "nigger" on the reverse side.
1t is "nigger" for the Alpha and "nigger''
for the Omega of that Democracy that calls
us Black Republicans. In view of this
will not venture an opinion, but it strikes
me with coming with little singular grace,
but still / think "a heap o my" Democrat
ic friends. Yours, &C., @.

The MINNESOTA ELECTION CAMPAIGN
Much interest is felt concerning the result of
the Minnesota election which occurs next
month. 1t is thought the Republicans
will carry the State. A private letter from
ST. Paul, of September I'd, frou leading
democrat who is we'll qualified to Judge,
says; "rhe Blacks arc going to whip US
awfully." He thinks the days of his party
in Minnesota are numbered, adding, "Elec-
tioneeriug is carried on briskly, both par
ties having speakers from the cast, and the
only difference from former times is, that
argument is taking the place of whiskey,
only because the candidates arc too short
Of change TO "treat" mueh."

San Francisco at quarter to ten on tho
night of the 10th of August, and at half
