fraud as one of the causes of the republi-
can success in Ohio, the republican state
executive committee, over the signatures of

gest that John G. is laboring under slight
mistake and, for fear that the matter may
be misunderstood, dclicately correct the
error by telegraphing TO the Pennsylvania

with the provisions of the fugitive slave

with the provisions of the fugitive slave
law.
Happily, however, the foul blot Of slav-
cry is removed from the United States and
our flag now floats over only freemen' In
regarding the great change in the social
condition of the country we are accustomed
to say the "world does move" aud such
would seem to be the case II only the
United States was considered. But when
we come to take wider survey, we find
that, while here the movement has been an
advance, in Great Britain the advance has
been backward" Over a century ago,
British courts decided, In the celebrated
case of the slave "Somerset," that per-
son held as IA slave escaping to and taking
refuge on British soil or a British man-of-
war became and was, henceforth, "abso.
" lutely free and the property of no man."
and such has been deemed and held part
of the British constitution from about the
year 1772 down TO almost the present day,
and has been the foundation of Great
Britain's boast and Americas shame.
The British flag no longer protects the
slave, and her territory Is no longer to be
their refuge. The lords commissioners
of the admiralty have issued instructions
to British naval officers relative to the ere
ceipt of fugitive slave" wherein they
are instructed not to receive such fugiiives,
unless his life would be endangered by a
refusal, and, il that event, TO return him
as soon as he is proved to be slave. In
case, however. he comes on board when
the vessel is Il sea, they are 10 receive him
d" on the ground that on the high seas the
" British vessel Is Il part of the dominion
I" of the Queen" but, when its vessel re-
turns to the territorial limits from which
the slave escaped, he must be surrendered
" on demand being made, supported by the
% necessary proofs" Not satisfied with
thus providing for the return of fugitives,
these lords commissioners take particular
pains to instruct naval officers to see to it
| that slaves are not "misked into the belief
60 that they will find their liberty by get
F" ting under the British flag ahnat,' but,
| if after epdeavoring to disabuse their minds
| of the idea hat the British flag means free
dom, they shall s'lll escape and claim its
protection, they must he surrendered, but,
at the same time, these naval officers may
- exercise their discretion" in cndeavoring,
should circumstances justify it, to obtain
can assurance that the slave viii not be
:" treated with undue severity this
is all the Ii manily they are permitted &c
exercise. If the world moves, it moves
backward in Great Britain. The idea OF
the superiority of the British constitution
and the vast protection it affords to life
and liberty is fast becoming exploded, and
Americans are, at the same time, fast learn
ing that whatever may be our shortcomings
as nation we can still bear a comparison
with any other nation on the earth.

BRITISH PROTECTION TO SLAVES.

1t seems but yesterday that wo were told
that the constitution of the United States
was covenant with death and an agree
ment with hell, because its provision for
the return of fugitives from labor was held
to require the rendition of slaves, escaping
from one state to another, and we were adj
vised that it were better to let the Union
slide than submit TO the surrender of fu-
gitive slave. England held us up to scorn
because, while we professed to believe that
all men were created free and equal and
that liberty was an nalienable right, yet
slavery was not only tolerated but fostered
and protected by law. Great Britain was
conlrasted with the United States and the
palm of being the freest nation on the face
of the earth accorded to the former be-
cause, forsooth, her flag only floated over a
race or freemen and because all persons
claimed as slaves became ireemen and en-
titled to British protection when they once
stood on British territory-and British
vessel wis constructively a part of the
British terrltory-while the United States,
recognizing slavery, the property Of man
In man, returned TO their bondage slaves
escaping into free state whose constitu.
ton prohibited the holding of human be-
ings in bondage. The contrast seemed uu-
favorable to the United States for, however
offensive it might be to the moral sense of
the north, we were compelled, SO long as
we professed obedience to the constitution,
to recognize the legal right of residents of
the southern states to hold slaves and our
obligation to return them in accordance
