it, it was unsafe either to sell or give
food or lodging to a stranger. The
alarm was general, and even prO-slav-
cry men regretted that this necessary
act OF justice should fall so heavily on
so good and gentle man. There was
much unfavorable comment, but all
in private, for the Pittsburg press
quailed before Judge Grier, and libel
laws were the weapon with which he
most loved to defend the dignity of
the bench. One editor he had kept
in Jail three months and ruined his
business. Col. Hiram Kane was a
brilliant writer, poet and pungent
paragraphist, and had at one time
criticised some of Judge Grier's de-
cisions, when by libel suit the Judge
had broken up his business and kept
him in jail eighteen months. Public
sentim mt was on Kane's side, and he
had an ovation on his release, when
he became city editor of the Journal.
There was disappointment that l
had not criticised Judge Grier's course

Free Soil Party

The Free Soil or Barnburner party
was organized in '4S, and nominated
Martin Van Buren, for President The
Visiter dropped it's Birney flag and
raised the Van Buren, standard. In
supporting him the editor of the Wis.,
tier was charged with being false to
the cause of the slave, and of playing
into the hands of the Wings. All the
editor had ever said about the pro-
slavery ex-President was cast into IT'S
teeth by Democratic, Liberty Party and
Garrisonian papers, which, one and all,
held that Van Buren, was a cunning old
fox as prO-slavery as in those days
when as President of the u. S. Senate,
he gave his casting vote for the bill
which authorized every Southern post
master to open all the mail which came
to his Office, search for and destroy any
matter that he might think dangerous
to Southern institutions. In his pres.
ent hostility to slavery, he was actu-
ated by personal hatred of Louis Cass,
the Democratic candidate, and sought
to draw off enough Democratic votes to
defeat him.

My Crooked Telescope.

In the autumn of 1S47, DR.. Robert
MITCHELL, of Indiana, Pa, was tried in
Pittsburg, in the United States Court,
before Judge Grier, for the crime of
harboring fugitive slaves. In an old
cabin ten miles from Indiana, on one
of the Doctors farms, some colored
men had taken refuge and worked as
harvest hands in the neighborhood
To It came the sheriff at midnigh,
with a posse, and after as desperate
q resistance as unarmed men could
make, two were captured. On one OF
these was found a note:
xiii sheep and give Jerry the
half. "Rob't. MITCHELL"
The name of the man who had the
note was Jerry. It was addressed to
q farmer who kept sheep for the doc
tor, so it was conclusive evidence of
the act charged, and the only defense
possible was want of knowledge.
There was no proof that DR.. Mitchell
knew jerry to be slave, none, sure
ly, that he knew him to be the prop
erty of plaintiff, who was bound to
give notice of ownership before he
could be entitled to damages from de
PENDANT.
This defense Judge Grier overruled,
by deciding that no notice was re-
quired, the law presumed a guilty
knowledge on the part of defendant.
Under this ruling DR.. Mitchell was
fined $1,000, and the costs, which
were $1,000 additional His home

| While the bench and bar were thus
demanding the attention of the Wis.,

the sum of all villainies as Bible in

with three exceptions, not only neg

the main defense of the grossest in
justice, the most revolving cruelty; and,
to maintain an appearance of sanctity,

A religious contemporary discovered

"Jayne's Expectorant," and such an ex-
pectOratiOn of piOus apprehension as
this did call forth! The Visiter denied
that the advertisement was immoral
and carried the war into Africa-that
old manstealing Africa-and there took
the ground that chattel slavery never
did exist among the Jews; that what
we now charge upon them as such was
a system of bonded servitude; that the
contract was originally between master
and servant; the consideration of the
labor paid to the servant; that in all
cases of transfer, the master sold to
another that portion of the
time and labor of the servant,
which were still due; that there
was no hint of any man selling a free
man into slavery for the benefit of the
seller; that the servants bought from

Wesley being witness.
The Visiter cited the purchase by
Joseph of the people Of Egypt, and
Leviticus XIV, xxx: IF thy brother
be waxen poor and sell himself unto
thee.' The Bible had not been chang
ed to suit the exigencies of slavery.
In later editions, sell himself is con-
verted into "be sold," but as the pas
sage then stood it was a sledge-ham-
mer with which one might beat the
whole pro-slavery Bible argument into
atoms, and while the Visiter used it
with all the force it could command,
1t took the ground that if the Bible did
sanction slavery, the Bible must be
wrong, since nothing could make slav-
cry right.
