if we are deprived of our rights, we have an
appeal to court. And, pray, what does Mr.
Douglas tell us? If you are denied your
rights, go to court Most generous shepherds
Noble guardians of our rights May we not
go to court as well and as safely without your
counsel as with IT'D How often shall we tell
you that this sending us to court is an insult
ing mockery? How are we to get into court
on the complaint that the Legislature has done
nothing-passed no law for our protection :?
How shall we maintain suit for our rights
against a statute so unfriendly as to exclude us,
and yet so cunningly worded as to lie COM
pletely within purview of the Constitution
Mr.. Seward proposes to exclude US by the
direct vote of Congress. Mr.. Douglas says no
this cannot be done. But if you will resort to
the hocus pocus of non-action or unfriendly leg
islation, the thing can be worked out to charm.
Hold says Mr.. Buchanan; you have no right
TO exclude the South, by direct or indirect
means; but if you can so cunningly lay a
scheme as to exclude them, and yet avoid re-
sponsibility in the courts, I give you my word
and my friends will not interfere. - 70
Now, my friends, which of the three do you
prefer? Seward, like bold highwayman, pro-
poses to march up and snatch your rights from
you by the strong arm of power. Douglas pro
poses to pilfer away your rights through an
irresponsible Territorial Legislature, which he
insists has the right to rob you, if it will only
| lott cunningly. Mr.. Buchanan raises his eve.
in holy horror, and declares they are both little
better than burglars and thieves; But still, i
they do succeed in robbing you, and can escape
| the courts, he will not interfere He thinks hi
| whole duty is performed in protesting agaiins

common Justice, nor sense Of gratitude 70

the race, in reading this attractive work,
Will now fall behind the public generally,
or must get the bound volume.
Il IS not to be expected that this book
will create such 4 fever as did Uncle Toms
Cabin, ALTHOUGH, aside from the direct bear
ing which that work had upon the great
question of slavery, it did not excel this
last effort of the talented ~authoress, in any
particular, and the Minister'S Wooing is far
ahead of bred Scott in all respects. 1t is
true that there is great unevenness in all
the writings of Mrs. Stowe. but it does not
follow that any less interest attaches to
them on the account; on the contrary a

is most attractive when it is most human;
and if either were perfect they could not
be human. The immense popularity of Mrs.
Stoves writings is proof of this, for while
they have charmed the popular mind and
influenced the political faith of thousands,
critics seem unable to comprehend them at
all. The London Illustrated Times, in a
notice ofthe Minister'S Wooing. says:
The true explanation of all that has puz-
zled some too ingenious students of the
writings of Mrs. Stowe is not far to seek.
First of all, she is, beyond question. a born
artist-a woman of fine faculty, with
pathos, poetry and humor in great abun-
dance. Then she wa brought up under
the shelter of orthodoxy. and, for the most
flexible and cultivabley years of her life. saw
Gods great world through 4 chapel win
dow.
At the same time her associations were
mostly (for the situation) of a superior or
der of character and intelligence; and news
Of far countries in thought, and isles Of
the best in feeling, reached her from time
to time in the minister's pew. She read.
she heard. she saw, she trembled, she doubt
cd, she hesitated, she consulted Farley,
the Porter she broke bonds! But it was
now late on, in a busy, anxious, wearing
life, and the new culture had to be availed
of by fits and starts, and the fresh excite
ments revcnged themselves in languors, and
necessary cares made gaps in the fresh la
bors; and here she was obliged to compro-
misc with the minister's pew, and there
with what she saw in the highway.
The characters introduced arc those which
have a historic interest. The Minister, D.
Hopkins, filed a large place in the theolog-
ical world of New England, in the days Of
the PLritans. Aaron Burr is shown in q
different light from that which falls upon
him through the window Of Bancroft's His
tory.
Next week we will publish a chapter
from the work, in order that our readers
may judge Of its style, for themselves.

important Suit.

A suit. which was original commenced
in the United States Court of the Northern
District of Ohio, but transferred to this
District by consent of counsel, has been il
progress before Judge Mclean since Satur.
day last. The parties to the suit are Mes.
Sis. Holmes, Sheldon & Granger, heirs Of
the original proprietors of the Connecticut
Reserve and the Cleveland, Columbus and
Cincinnati the Lake Shore, the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh, the Cleveland and Toledo, and
the Mahoning Railroad Companies.
The Plaintiffs bring an action of eject
ment against the Companies named for the
possession of some eight or nine arcres O.!
land upon which the Union Depot at Clcye-
land now stands. They claim that the
Cuyahoga River, at the foot of Bath street,
was changed from its original course, and
that portion of the street on which the
depot is situated was never accepted for a
public street nor so used as to give a per-
mancnt right. They, therefore, claim that
the title to the land is still in the heirs of
the original purchasers, and ask to have the
Rrilroad Companies dispossessed.
The value of the land is put down in
tie bill of complaint at $1,000 200. The
improvements put upon it by the Railroad
Companies, will probably reach an .aggre-
gate of $780, 600, while those of the Uni
ted States are nearly sf00,0 900 more.
The argument commenced on Saturday
morning, and was continued through yes
terday, and will require two or three days
to conclude it The plaintiffs are repro
scented by Judge Orchard and Mr.. Ma
son, and the defendants by Hon. S. F.
Vinton, Judge Hitchcock and Moses Kelly,
Esq. The decision will not probably be
rendered for some time, and will be
locked for with great ntercst-Cin.-E Eng.

Mr.. Giddings and John Brown.

l had, a conversation to day with the
Hon Joshua 4. Giddinas, in the course Of
which, ] alluded to his alleged implication
in old Browns schemes of liberating the
slaves. He laughed at the charge. Trea-
son sits lightly on his venerable shoulders.
He says he never met old Brown, to bis
distinct recollection, excepting on one coca
sion only.
That was more than a year ago Of i
rightly remember and at a public lecture,
III Ashtabula County, which old Brown. lie
said, delivered there. After the lecture. a
contribution was taken up, and Mr.. Gid
dings, publicly, gave the sum of three dol
lars. That was the first, and only money
he ever contributed to the Captain.
In that lecture, the Captain spoke of the
duty of the North to the slaves, and stated
that he intended to devote his life and en-
ergics to their cause. This was shortly af-
ter one of his Kansas exploits
Captain Brown went home with him. and
other gentlemen, and took tea at his house.
The conversation turned exclusively on the
Kansas troubles and the recent Obcrlin
Rescue case. Captain Brown was sudden
" called away; and he has never seen him.
nor heard, directly or personally, from him,
from that time till now.
He never heard Captain Brown speak of
any prospect of forcible emancipation. or of
melting Instructions; on the contrary. he
understood him to intend to confine his op-
erations to the u. G.. r. r.
He was as much astOnished as his accu-
sers at the outbreak at Harper's Ferry, and
never imagined that Old Brown was the
terrible Bill Smith. who with a force of
fifteen men. took Virginia with his right
hand and Maryland with his left, and shook
them till every corner of the Union re-
sounded with their shriekings-

On Friday night the Office Of the Fro

ciples, at Newport kentucky, was mobbcd
by the pro-slavery men of the vicinity,
the press broken, the form knocked into

Mr.. Bailey, the editor and proprietor, is
an old man, who labors both as editor and

Gathering az the facts aid rumJrs con.
corning the late affair at Harpcr's Frry
togcther,-it is difficult to decide whcthel
it should he called a ludicrous tragedy, OF
u solemn farce. Wherever our language is
spoken, the event will be spread all oyel
the world. The comments of the Press
North and South-agree in an important
particular. The futile attempt is every
where characterized as the mad act Of a
few fanatics
But it is perfectly idle. to say the least.
to turn such an event into a political cap
ital. No party would dream of endorsing
these or similar atrocities; and it is a poor
and unworthy class of tactics that would
seek to fastcn the responsibility anywhere
else than upon the misguided actors them
selves. Whatever may be the tendency Of
their avowed principles, no organization.

Gerret Smith, Fred. Douglas, Mellen, ifhc

there is no party of respectable dimensions
that las a plank in its platform upon which
the late mad foray could be justified.
The fact that the slaves did not join in
the Harper's Ferry proceedings. except
upon compulsiOn, will not be without its
usefulness. All the efforts of the white
abolitionists were powerlcss to produce the
expected inSurrection. The history of this
miserable failure will serve to deter other
maniacs from similar attempts. No paper

and the fate of the victims is nowhere de-

The Eezt U. s. Senator.

The election being over, the question be-
ing settled. as to which party viii have the
power in the next Legislature TO elect a L.
5. Senator to take the place of Mr.. push.
whose term Of Office is about to close, it is
fairly a subject fer consideration by the
Republicans as to who that successor shall
be.
The position which Ohio occupies among
the States Of this Union. being the third in
Importance, It is ftting that such a man
be selected 70 represent her IL the highest
branch Of Congress as can maintain tao
dignity Of the State in That position. 10
seooSd, 6aird, or fourth rate man. no man
Of doubtful position, no man whose princi-
pies or whose abilities are unknown, will
answer for This post
Il seems to US that 4 large majority of
the Republicans of Ohio have already fxci
upon Salmon p. Chase, as the man whom
the next Legislature should choose for this
position. Without disparaging the services
or the abilities Of other men whose friends
nay urge their claims to the Office, We
think it can be safely said that no man in
the State has proven himself to be better
qualified to fill the place satisfactorily, or
whose services have been more acceptable
to the people. If the course Of Mr.. Pugh
and of Mr.. Chase while they have each oc-
.cupied seats in the Senate, be compared,
although both were Democrats, the vast
difference between 4 statesman and q dem
.agogue, q man who labors for the good Of
the people, and one who works solely for
his party or himself. can be seen.
During his term as Senator and his two
terms as Governor, Mr.. Chase has given
evidence Of his integrity, frmness, and abl-
-ity. which leave no room for doubt. His
course has challenged and received the ad-
.miraticn not only of his friends. but of his
political opponents, and we believe his
election as Senator will give universal sat
isfaction to the Republicans Of this State,
and Of the Union.

From the Mansfield Herald.
The Ohio Synod.

The Ohio Synod of the o. S. Prcsbytcri-
an Church which began its session thurs
day, closed OH Monday afternoon. A large
number of delegates were in attendance,
both clerical and lay, amounting in all to
100. In addition to these there were also
a number of visiting brethren, among whom
We noticed the Rev. DR.. Edgar. of Belfast.
Ireland; Rev. Mr.. Brown, of Cleveland;
Rev. DIR. Montfort, of Cincinnati.
A large amount Of business important to
the Church was transacted during the ses-
sion Of the synod. Among other things it
cOncurred in a resolution previously adop-
ted by the Synod of Cincinnati to raise
funds and establish a College at Springfield,
Ohio. This College is to be conducted TN
der the auspices of the two Synods.
On Monday an interesting discussion
sprang up on some stringent anti-slavery
resolutions. The substance Of them were
opposition to the permanenco and extension
of slavery, and the slave trade. The de-
bate was participated in by many of the
delegates, and the sentiments expressed by
them. and their votes gave every assurance.
that whatever it might be otherwhere the
sum of all v~illainies' was heartily detestcd
by the Presbyterian Church of Ohio.
On Friday DR.. Edgar entertained a large
congregation with a characteristic address.
DR.. E., it will DO remembered. is one of the
deputatiOn of clergymen from Ireland to So
Lett material aid for the cause of religion
there. He has all the humor which char
acterizes the natives of the sod,' and a SUI
fciency of the 'natest brogue' to give force
to his mother wit. Those who heard him
were entertained as well as amused. The
subject of the discourse was the present re-
ligious condition and future prospects Of
Ireland.
The Synod adjourned to meet next year

A GREAT Corn CRoP.-The Dayton
Empire, of Oct, 18th, says that the In.
diana State Agricultural Society has awar-
dcd the prize for the best crop of corn to a
Dearborn county farmer, who produced
proof that ten acres averaged one hundred
and sevcnty-ive bushels per acre. On the
best five acres, the first premium was awar-
dcd on one hundred and e~ighty-six bushels
to the acre, and the same person had H.
contestible evidence that on one of these
acres there grew two hundred and fourteen
bushels.
