med that the rendition clause of the U. s. Consti-
tuition, would nsrer haze been adopted in that con-
ventiop convention which passed The C%onstitu'

as well as North, that slavery was a temporary

not insisted upon it that no difficulty could srOw

means admit-it does not make the Constitution
itself less odious. it does not lesson the guilt Of
those who voluntarily support it, but simply assigns

CONVICTION OF VAN TUYL, THE KID

Van Tuyl is at last convicted. Twelve men o!
the county Of Ontario have found him, upon their
oaths, guilty of the infamous crime Of kidnapping
two colored boys from the village Of Geneva
These two boys he intended to sell into slavery
lie accomplished his design upon one-who was
sold for the sum Of 500, or thereabouts. Had
he succeeded in getting The other one south of
Mason and Dixon's line he would have obtained
in all probability the sum Of one thousand dollars.

men who rendered the verdict guilty against the
felon!

Had you been in the Court House the same day
that Van Tuyl was sentenced you would have

criminal for tho crime Of stealing a pair of horses
was sentenced to tho States Prison for the term OF
four years. A human being sold for 500, is
worth but half as much as q horse worth q humid.

slavery Bible believer to a belief that the Bible
condemns slavery All argument upon that point
is thrown away so long as bo remains pro'slayery.
First convert him to anti.slavery, and then, il be
continues a Bible believer, it will be astonishing
to behold how suddenly and wholly his views Of
Bible texts will become changed. Passages,
" which, before his conversion. meant slavery, and
nothing but slavery. are now radient with the
spirit of liberty. lilo regards the book from o
different stand point; and we think the easiest
way to give Bible believers anti slavery views Of
its teachings, is to first make them abolitionists-
to establish in their minds the conviction that slc'
very is wrong, always wrong, then every testiino'
ny upon the subject proceeding from either natural
or revealed religion, will be against 1t, and in
favor Of the principles Of freedom.

and four children whose loss is irreparable. She
was On amiable and affsctiopate wife, u kind and

until her last moments, and saw, as she expressed
it, the spirits Of departed friends attended by an.

When sinks a ~virtuous soul to rest,

APPLICATION FOR HABEAs CORPUS

1t will be seen from the published decision Of
the state Supreme Court, tina. the application made
by the resouers for a writ Of Habeas Corpus has
been refused, and on grounds. which to those out
side Of the legal profession, will seem very strange.
The object Of the writ of Iiabeas Corpus, is to re
lease persons from duress, when illegally deprived
of their liberty and it savored no little of insul,
for the Bench Of the Supreme Court to virtually
say to Bushnell and his associates :-'Gentlemen,
we admit that you are imprisoned, but as you have
not yet been sentenced to imprisonment, don't you
perceive it would be manitestly improper for US to
interfere for your released" Should another appli.
cation be made for a writ after they are sentenced,
it would probably be refused for that very reason.
The positive and probable action Of the Su.
preme Court reminds US OF a certain ExJudge,
who was noted for his domestic habits and diiapi'
dated dress. Judge" said ono Of his friends to
him on q certain occasion, why don't you dress
better ?" "What is the use" replied the Judge,
ererybody here knows me I" Not long after the
same person met the Judge in a distant city, and
with the Same suit of clothes. What, Judge, so
far from home in your shabby suit' What is the
odds ?" asked the Judge, NOBODY here knows me-"
The Work pRocRrssIsG.-A few weeks since,
a fugitive slave was sent back from Cincinnati,
and by a telegrapbic report which We copy from
the Pias61rg Gazette, ii appears that another has
been arrested at GAINESVILLE. From the account
there given. it looks very much like q case Of kid
mapping, a thing whichVirgiuians and Keptuckians
are permitted 10 do in Ohio with imPunity.
