Tho Case Of Rev. George Gordon.

The following isa passage from Senator
Sherman's speech on tho Presidents Eman.
cipation resolution delivered yesterday:
George Gordon, the President Of one OF
the colleges Of our State, man of learning
and character. il now held in tho Jail
in the city of Cleveland, convicted under
your Fugitive Slave law in tho Western Re-
serve, at Cleveland. of aiding q fugitive to
escape. That conviction was rendeaed long
after this war commenced, and q judge sitting
in Cleveland sentenced him to ak months i'm.
prisonment and to fine Of $500. This man
of education and learning has suffered four
months in that Jail, and although hundreds
and thousands Of people have petitioned for
his pardon, although he took no part in the
crime, but simply stood by and did not raise
his hand TO prevent it, yet, ~ careful have
been tho Administration to protect therights
of the South. and the duties and the obiiga
tions of the Free States to the Slave States,
that that clergyman, the head OF college, a
man Of high character, now suffers US ielon
in your jail"
On Thursday. President Lincoln having ex'
amined the case, Issued an unconditional par
don for DR.. Gordon. II is well that by this
praisewOrthy act of the President the coun-
try is freed from the modification and shame
Of holding man in bondage for refusing to
aid the cause which has plunged us into the
present harrassing aud expensive war.-N

Yapcey at New Orleans.

We experience melancholy satisfaction in
reading the very despondent views Of Mr.. fan'
cey on foreign intervention. as expressed by
him at New Orleans on the evening Of March
18th. as follows;
-"Mr. Yancey Is decidedly Of the opinion thst
the South has no friends in Europe. and thai
the North Is in similar condition. Tie ,ays
there Is very strong prejudice In oil OF hu-
rope against the South In consequ uenee OF AN
erroneous impression which prevails w refer
ence TO the institution Of slavery. Ihere ae
many persons In Europe who conslaer IN, ~,
Southern people semicivilized, and believe 'ns' =
negroes are raired upon the plan that s,ock y.
There Ia NO disposition to interfere in hpe.vn" ,n
ad.ir.. The blockade enables the Drusn no,u-
sr. of the great staple (cotton) to realize an
;,nnsn-s advance upon its cost IN consequence
of the scarcity Of the article. Ihe ho.aers are
Nm. Wealthy few, who have the ear OF the cov-
.rnment Another reason for not interfering
III, ,hs blockade, was the belief that the scar
.;,v oS the article, and the remote prospect Of
oh;.ining q supply from this country, would
sresie such demand for the East India cotton
a. to increase lie culture 10 . very considerable
extent. Another reason, In Mr.. Yancey's opin-
ion, Why European powers will not interfere In
American affairs, Is the hope and belief that
