The following extract from letter (dated
Frenchtown, Dec. 18th, 1852 written by
Mr.. William H. Mullen, who whilom resided
in Louisa county, to friend in this place,
may possess some interest to our readers:

Democratic Corruptiola.

In the U. 8. Senate, on the l7th ultimo,
Gen. G. w. Bowman, the Democratic nomi-
nee, was elected Printer to the Senate, in spite
Of the charges of corruption in :ffice and gross
malfeasance, preferred against him by the
Democratic Senator from Mississippi, Gov.
Brown. We call attention to this case to
illustrate the corruption of the immaculate
Democracy. The telegraph has already fur
nished our readers with the main facts in this
astounding system Of corruption, as elected
before the Senate Investigating Committee.
Over 100000 were spent by the Govern
ment Printer to secure the election Of Mr..
Buchanan, who afterwards wrote letter to q
convention at Pittsburgh, deprecating the use
of money At elections !! Out upon such base

declared that no human power could break
the bonds of the slaves in that State. To
which Prentice returned that he had no idea
that the blacks Of Mississippi could as easily
get rid of their bonds as the whites of that
State got rid Of theirs few years ago. 1t
will be remembered that Mississippi went into
bankruptcy a few years ago.

wThe following is copy Of the letter Of

wThc following is copy of the letter Of
Gov. Kirkwood, giving his reasons for not
surrendering young Coppoc on the requsition
of the Governor of Virginia:
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, Iowa.,
DEs MONIES, Jan. 23d, 1860.
His Escelleney, Gouermor Of Virginia:
IR;-Your requisition for Barclay Coppic,
alleged to be fugitive from justice, from the
State of Virginia, was this day placed in my
hands by Mr.. Camp. Having carefully con-
sidered the same, am Of the opinion that
cannot, in the proper discharge OF my duty as
Executive of this Stat, grant the requistlon,
because it does not, in my opinion, come
within the provisions of the Constitution Of
the United States, and the laws Of Congress
passed in pursuance thereof. The certificate
of the Notary Public, that the paper purport-
ing to be the affidavit of Andrew Hunter was
sworn to, is not authenticated by his Notarial
seal, and, for that reason, is no higher evil
dence of that fact than would be the statement
of any other citizen. Were this the only
difficulty, would, as it is in its nature tech
nical, feel disposed to waive it in this case !;
but there is further defect, which, in my
judgment, is fatal, and which my duty will
not allow me to overlook. The law of Congress
requires that the Executive authority Of a
State demanding any person as u fugitive from
justice shall produce to the Executive author
,ty of the State on which the demand is made
''the copy of an indictment found. or an afi-
davit made before Magistrate of the State
by which the demand is made. In this case,
there is not copy of any indictment pro-
duced, and the affidavit produced is made
before a Notary Public, who is not, in my
judgment, Magistrate within the meaning
of the law of Congress.
This is matter in which, as understand,
have not any discretionary power. Had the
application been made to me in proper form,
charging the offense charged in this case, the
requisition must have been granted. As it IS,
have not any more authority to surrender
the person demanded than if requested to do
so by private letter.
Very respectfully, S. J. KIRKWOOD.

FlTTINa AMENDXENT - The Democratic
members of the Minnesota Legislature, under
the delusive hope of making political capital
out of the John Brown raid, introduced reso
lutions denouncing the act in appropriate
terms. The Republicans amended the raso-
lutions by adding severe rebuke of the
disunion Democratic orators in Congress. In
this form, the resolutions passed, to the great
chagrin of the ''servile" Democracy.

Kidllappers Arrested.

John L. Curtis and James B. Little left
Iowa City on Saturday night, 2sth inst, in a
two-horse carriage, containing two negro girls,
one Of the age of IA, the other 1s. They
travelled all night, and early on Sunday
morning called at Mr.. Aliens, four miles
south Of Washington, for breakfast, &c. The
fact that the party had travelled all night, and
other circumstances, aroused the suspicion
that all was not right, and influenced three
gentlemen to follow them to Fairfield, where
they obtained warrant, which was placed in
the hands of Deputy Sheriff Cunningham,
who, with the gentlemen referred to, followed
Messrs. Curtis and Little to Iowaville, where
they were arrested, after a scufae and the
handling of loaded pistol. They were brought
back to Fairfield on Tuesday, where the
Sheriff Of johnson county had arrived in
pursuit. He Immediately returned with them
to Iowa City, where legal investigation will
take place. ..... ......
1t appears that the girls were indentured to

feed and provide for them; but, on the belief
that he had neglected his duty in whole or in
part, the County Judge had notice served on
him, last week, to appear before him, on
Monday, to show cause why he should not
appoint another guardian, &c. Whilst pro-
Tossing to prepare for that Investigation on
Monday, he quietly prepared to run the little
girls into Missouri, and for that purpose left
Iowa City, about IL o'clock on Saturday
night, but through the vigilance and pcrse-
verence of Messrs Allen. Vincent and McCoy,
of Washington county, he was arrested.
Thus was another scheme of rascality con-
nected with the peculiar institution of the
South 'nipped i the bud" The Democrats
are bowling piteously about the affair, and a
correspondent of the Davenport Democrat
denounces the gentlemen who interfered as
abolition miscreants and sneak thieves"

The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1860-03-08
BALTIMORE.
THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1860

We are quite sure that our readers will notice
with regret the resignation by Mr.. FREANER, of
Washington county, of his seat in the House Of
Delegates, as reported in our Annapolis news.
The course of that gentleman, during the whole
session, has been so manly and straightforward
and especially in all matters relating to the inte-
rests of our citizens, that we have every reason
to entertain and express for him the most grateful
consideration. No member of the House has been
more earnest and untiring in the discharge of his
duties, and few have commanded as much respect,
intelligence and ability. The letter of our An
napolis correspondent explains the circumstances
under which Mr.. FREANER retired from his place.
The promptness and frankness with which he sur
rendered his trust the instant that the disability
under which he labored was brought to his know
ledge, furnishes an earnest of the sincerity with
which, as a member of the Committee on Elec-
tons, he meted out the same measure to others,
and must commend his integrity and sensibility TO
his constituents and the public at large.
The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1860-03-08

1t happens unfortunately that the Bills now
pending in Annapolis, which provide for the
better regulation of various departments of our
government, must trust solely to their merits TO
secure the further attention of the Legislature.
All the measures which are calculated to promote
the interests of individuals or private corporations
or to enhance the value of somebody's real estate
or stocks, are pressed forward by innumerabe out
side influences. They all represented by en-
ergetic and influential agents, who take upon
themselves no inconsiderable portion of drudgery.
and who are continually at hand to explain the
objections to, and point out the advantages of their
various projects, and to urge the weary members
to renewed exertions in their behalf 1t will not
be strange, therefore, if some Acts which look to
the amendment of the general laws Of the State
in many essential particulars, and which have
been already favorably reported on, should be
heard of no more during this session. Though
they need but slight assistance to render their
passage certain, not friend is near to help them
down into the disturbed pool through which they
must pass to obtain vitality. Among the luck
less Bills that are in danger of being forgotten in
the hurry OF the moment, those providing for
the registration of voters, the selection of uries,
and the more certain suppression of lotteries.
The purity of elections, the impartial trial of
causes and the abolition of licensed gambling
these are objects of more Importance than the
location of Tobacco Warehouses, and the charter
ing of City Railways. We trust they may not
be jostled aside by the crowd of importunae petit
TONERS, who are so DANGEROUSLY pressing their
less unselhsh claims upon the notice of the Legs-
lature. rise in Canton, BROCK, and Baltimore
and Ohio stocks may be advantageous to the
holders; but the passage of the Bills we
have mentioned would assuredy be produc-
tive of much more lasting benefit to Balti-
more Why, then, they kept in the back
ground until the owners of water lots and rail-
way shares have settled their affairs and left
the field open to the public? 1t is, of course,
emlnently proper that these parties should re-
spectively have hearing and the relief to which
