believe Ohio rad any law which was uncon-
stitutional. He thought the Senator from
Virginia was mistaken. The Law framed last
year gives further security to free people.
and when it came up this year was pestpon-
ed. that was the mistake of the Senator-the
las is exactly the opposite of what ne sup
pos d.
Mr. Mason said he saw no use of the Repub-
licans of Ohio refusing to repeal the law un-
der which Marshals had been imprisoned.
Mr.. Wade said the only law of Ohio was
copied almost entirely from the law of Vir-
ginia; such a law ought not TO be repealed.
He saw no reason for compromise with any
body. There is no organization in Ohio TO
interfere with laws. He did not doubt that
slaves escaped. but there was no organized
company for such purposes.
Mr.. Trumbull said that this was directly
the reverse of what the Senator said.
Mr.. Powell said he would examine, and if
wrong he would strike it out of his speech.
he bad no desire to do injustice.
Mr.. Bigler said that Mr.. Lincoln bad said
that he would vote against allowing slavery
in Territory.
Mr.. Powell said that it amounted to the
same thiog
Mr.. Trumbull read the answer of Lincoln
when he said, I do not now and never did
stand pledged against the admission of slave
States into the Union.
Mr.. Powell thought if he wouldn't let sla-
very go into the Territories we could not
have any more slave States. He continued
If anything is done to save the Union. it
must be done from the Republican purity.
Mr.. Mason said the Governor of Virginia
demanded of the Governor of Ohio the sur
rend er of fugitive who had committed mur-
der and arson in Virginia. The Governor
of Ohio refused to deliver him; he was one
of John Browns COMPANY.
Mr.. Wade-Such refusal was not pecu-
liar to Ohio. 1t was vexed question every
where.
Mr.. Douglas said such cases were COM
mon TO all States. The first one was in 1871.
The Governor of Virginia refused to deliver
a uyitive to Pennsylvania, and did not think
such cases could form a subject of complaint
Aow.
Mr. Wade said that all complaints aga inst
Ohio came back to enc thing, they say all
attempts to save the Union must come from
US, you, who seek to overthrow the Const itu-
ton; who say you are about to rebel and
wage war, should give some specification
where we have offended. Mr.. Mason ex-
planned the case in Virginia. 1t occurred
before there was any law in the United States
on the subject. The Attorney General of
Virginia based his decision on the fact that
there was no law authorizing the arrest.
The Senate then adjourned.

Our readers viii learn with sorrow the
death of Mrs George Walton-the mother OF
our distinguished towns-woman, Madame LIE
Vert.
The maiden name of the deceased lady was
Saliie Walker, and she was born, we are in
formed, in Virginia After her marriage she
resided for many years in Pensacola, when
her husband was Secretary of the Territory
of Florida After Gen. jackson resigned the
chief magistracy of that Territory, Col. Wal
ton became the Governor of Florida
Mrs. Walton moved to Mobile, we think, in
1885, and has been permanent residentiof ii
since. Those who were most intimately &C
ouainted with her say that she was one of the
kindest hearted beings. This is the testimo-
nv of those who knew her virtues and loved
her for them.
But the best of us must pass away, and
the warmest of the deceased lady's friends
may find consolation in the fact that she
lived among those who respected her, and
died well stricken in years.-Aobife Tribune

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20--Many urgent let
tiers have been sent to Florida. Alabama and
Mississippi. and other Southern States. by
secessionists here, advising that Fort Pick
ems, in Pensacola barbor, be not interfered

ductiye of great good in the interests OF
