The trials of Brown, Rejista and Arguiser,
at Savannah, for piracy in being concerned in
the voyage of the noted SLAYER Wanderer, for
negroes, resulted on the 23d ult., in verdict of
not guilty. A Savannah despatch Of the 3Oth
ult, states that the u s. District Attorney
will enter mol. pros. upon the other indct-
ments against the same parties
Trials for slave piracy before Democratic
Courts are but the merest farces, and all the
movements of the Administration to bring the
pirates to justice have been gulls of the baldest
character. Not conviction has been pressed,
EOr will be SO long as the re-opened African
Slave Trade is demanded by the South That

cargoes on the coast of Georgia, has sailed

at various slave marts, and in one instance have
been exhibited at public fair, and premium

chattels!
Such are the boldness and barbarism OF the

south Carolina Plotting Trenson---Armin e.
The Legislature ofsouth Carolina met few
days ago, and the Governor In his message
used the rnosttreasonsble language towards The
Perpetuity Of the Union. In keeping with his
disunion spirit, resolutions have been introdu.
ced into the House Of Delegates declaring that
the State Of South Carolina is ready to enter,
together with other slaveholding States, or
such as desire present action, into The formS-
ton of Southern Confederacy also providing
that the Governor forward the reasonable res
olution to the Executives Of the Southern
States. Another resolution was offered, asking
Official infoImlton Of the condition Of the
State Arsenal, arms, ammunition, the number
Of men enrolled style Of arms, etc.
If John Brown was worthy Of doath ON the
gallOws for his alleged treason and weak at
tempt to establish provisional Government"
what measure of justice should be meted TO
the South Carolina traitors in authority who
thus boldly propose treason and the establish
ment Of "Southem Ooniederacyf" The Ex-
ecutive and Law. makers Of State take the
initiative of rebellion against the Federal Gov
ernment, and yet we hear Of no U. S. marines
being hurried from Washington to suppress the
insurrcction and bring the rebels to condign
punishment. The President and his Cabinet, go

cation was then scotehed but not killed, and in
view Of secession in ls5O-5l, South Carolina
expended about three hundred thousand doars
in cannon and small arms, and added eOnsid'
erably to the stock of arms previously obtained
through the regular quotas from the Federal
Government. So boasts the Charleston News,
and it asserts that in proportion to the size and
to the white population of the State, South
Carolina has the largest military organization
and supply of arms of any State in the Union.
And the News calls on the Legislature to aP.
prOpriate one hundred thousand dollars for Colts

the Governor advance aud give the coun-

An Irishman Arrested ms n Fugitive Slave.
The Fugitive Slave Act is a blessed insttu-
iiOn in the eyes of the pro-slayery Democracy,
and case under it has just occurred in the
Egypt portion of Illinois, that must make
white men Of dark complexion stare! A lios
Irishman has been seized in Richland county,
Of that State, and held for some tle by his
eAptors on the enormous charge of being flu
gitve slave! According to the Olney Times Of
Nov. 25th, the man sTreAted was brought to
Olnsy for the purpose OF securing him in jail
until he could be delivered up and the reward
obtained, but such were the evidences of his
Irish blood that the jailor refused to receive
htm. He gave his name as Thomas Lsary,
said he was native Of Ireland, had been
twelve years in America, and the last yeaI
had been in Chicago. The Times describes
him as a man of dark complexion, straight
black hair, black whiskers and moustache,
with the true Characteristic Irish brogue.-
Hon. Martin O'Keap, Democratic State Sen
stOr, on inspecting the alleged fugitive de-
elaTed him to be ian Irishman Of inferior in
ielligence," and yet so determined were the
fugitive act kidnaPpers TO run him off into
slavery, that Judge Kitchell had to be applied
to for writ OF habeas corpus to save hin
from the hunted negro's terrible fate
After narrsting the narrow escape Of pool
Lsary from perpetual bondage and the slave
dnyer's lash, the Times pertinently remarks
We have no disposition to interfere with th'
institution of slavery where it exists bu
when 1t comes TO this, that men must b'
hunted down "a the tree State OF Illinois, it II
nigh time that the people rise in the majesty o.
their strength, and say such things shall not
be done.

The SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD SUT.--
The following il the decision of the Supreme
Court of Texas on the appeal. by the Dis
trict Attorney, from the District Court al
Marshall in the suit Of the State as. the Sou
thern Pacific Railroad Company. We find il
in the Tyler Reporter, Of the 18th inst. The
Supreme Court is in session at Tyler:
The court sustained the petit on fled by
the Attorney General and District Attorney
In the name of the State, and reversed tue
Judgment of the District Court dismissing the
cause. The Supreme Court determined that
the objection to the petition that the Attor-
ney General aud District Attorney had no
authority 90 bring the suit in the name OF
the State, was not tenahlr.
The jury determined that the grounds of
forfeiture OF the charter set forth In the petit
ton were all either insufficient or insufficient /:
~ alleged, except one. which was that the
President or Vice President and 4 majority of
the directors did not reside 10 the State OF
Texas at any time after the 18th of June.
1858. They held that the law requiring that
was constitutional and that IL did DOT impair
Nv right conferred upon the company by
ae charter. The case will be remanded to
Ne District Court of Harrison for further
Trial,

Ko.suth start. for Italy-HI. Posi-

A London correspondent of the n. Y.
Times, writing by the Persia, says that Kos
sUTH. with as many Hungarians as he can
collect, starts to-day for Geneva. where Gen.
KLABKA. Col. KIRz, Gen. PERcIzEL. Gen. VET
TER, Col. YAcEY, Col JELEKI. and Others
await bim. Various are the surmises among
the English journals as to the conditions ex-
listing between the allies and the Ex-Gov-
ernor of Hungary. The facts are these:
Before the outbreak CT the war, KossUTH
and KLABKA, making up their old differences,
agreed 10 act in concert for the benefit Of
their common country; and the latter, on his
return. from Turkey. proceeded TO Paris,
where he held frequent interviews with Prince
NAPOLEON; and thence to Turin. where he
was received with open arms by Count Ca
YOUR, and also presented to the King. At
ter several propositions and refusals on one
side or the other, Kossuth at last offered to
proceed to Geneva and there issue procla-
nation to the Hungarians calling on them
TO desert the Austrian army en- naaSse; he to
organize the deserters into corps and be-
come the military chief when the namber
should reach $4,000 or 20 600.
He demanded that with small division
OF French troops, under French flag, he
should be authorized to cross the Adratic and
the Austrian provinces into Hungary. and
there promote instruction. The only Oh
lection made TO this proposition was the dis
pleasure oil England at the double attack on
Austria without rhyme or reason, and Kos
sUTH was urged to make Tour through the
provinces lending all his influence with the
English people in the direction OF non-inter-
ventiol, whatever turn it may take. This
course he has been pursuing with great en-
ergy for some weeks. commencing in London
with the Lord Mayor in the Chair. a sign of
the popularity of his theme, and concluding
with Glasgow, where the NJ. Prs favored him
with the light of their countenances, and that
warm friend of nationaites, Prot. NICHoI.,
gave him every support. Meanwhile, he is
sued an anonymous proclamation TO the Hun
garian troops, and now he has gone to Gen
eva to complete his share of the bargain.
Whatever the English Government may think
of the arrangement, depend upon it, the Eng
lish people will hail with joy any event that
may give brave Hungary a chance. The
only thing to be feared is that the drsertion
of the Hungarians once accomplished, most
important point for the Allies, and the prom
Uses made TO KOsSUTH, through KLABKA. who
il must be remembered. has conferred with
CAvOUR and Prince NAPOLEON, and not with
the Emperor. will be set aside, and the expe-
ditiOn to Hungary abandoned. under the pre-
text, England protests against French inter
vPntiou. AS yet we have no meaps of judg-
ing how the public will view the scheme, as
these facts are entirely unknown here, though
the future will prove their accuracy.-Cdncu-

Mr. Douglas on the Presidential
Question.

WASHINGTON, Thursday. June %. 1859.
The friends of Judge Douglas here are in
possession of the following letter. explaining
his position on the subject of the Presidency,
and OF which they have permitted copy to
be taken tor publication:
WASHINGTON, Wednesday. June 22, 1859.
My Dear Sri have received your letter
inquiring whether my friends are at liberty
20 present my name to the Charleston Con-
vention for the Presidential nomination.
Before the question can be finally deter
mined, it will be necessary TO understand dis
tinclly upon what issues the canvass is to be
conducted. II, as have full faith they will,
the Democratic party shall determine, in the
Presidential election of 1860, to adhere to the
principles embodied in the compromise meas
ures of 1850, aud ratified by the people in the
Presidential election of 1852, and reafhrmed
in the kausas-Nebraska act of 1854. and in
cnrporated into the Cincinnati Platform in
1856, rs expoundcd by Mr.. Buchanan in his
letter accepting the nomination, and approx
ed by the people-in that event 8y friends
will be at liberty TO present my name TO tie
Convention, If they see proper TO do so. II,
on the contrary, IL shall become the policy of
the Democratic party--which | cannot untic-
ipate-to repudiate these, their time-honored
principles, on which we have achieved so ma
ny patriotic triumphs. and IT, in lieu of them,
the Convention shall interpclate into the
creed of the party such new issues as the re-
vival of the African slave-trade. or a Con-
gressional slave code Tor the Territories. or
the doctrine that the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States either establishes or prohibits SIa-
very in the Territories, beyond the power of
the people legally 10 control il as other prop
erty, il is due to caador to say that, in such
all event, | could not accept the nomination
il rendered 10 me. Trusting that this answer
will he deemed sufficiently explicit,
IL am, very respectfully, yoar friend.
