Whatever the talk of treats, it is not possible for the intelligent and sane, in their predominating feelings and sentiments, to fix ipominy on him in the halter. They know he was iwpired by elevated sentiments; that he conscientiously opposed the wrong, and battled for the right that the humane man was sacrificed to the inhuman institution. Every thinking being, of value worth invoicing in the column of human excellences or merits, knows that precisely what has been alleged against him as a capital crime, has been extolled in others, throughout human history, as the loftiest of virtues.

Sia About ten days since. Miss Fjuxces Ellbx WATxtws-believed here to be one of the most worthy and efficient anti-slavery lecturers who have visited the western country-made her appearance in our township, greatly to the satisfaction of all acquainted with her by reputation or otherwise. Miss Watkins first lecture here was given one week ago last Tuesday evening, greatly to the edification and entertainment of all the friends of freedom. Our worthy and truly philanthropic citizen, R. II.

Rogers, being called to the chair, in a few appropriate and timely remarks, introduced her to the audience. -Miss Watkins spoke in the house the following evening, and at several other places during that week. She spoke in Sandusky City, last Monday evening. vo an immense audience, with the best effect. She is to speak there again next Monday evening.

At all the places where Miss Watkins has spoken, save one, where whisker- mnA vn.mn;ki are the ruling elements, there have been thronged audiences, and the most respectful order. The effect of these lectures upon this part of the country cannot but be most favorable, not only politically, but in dispelling this unreasoning and unreasonable prejudice against the colored people of the country. At the close of her last lecture in this township, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously by the request of your readers here, I send them to the Liberator for publication Whereas, it ia our settled and unalterable opinion, that American Slavery is the' complete representative and full embodiment of every crime known to humanity that it is truly what John Wesley called it, the sum of all villanies and, Whereas, we are bound, by every consideration of justice, to deny that there can be any law, in the proper sense of the term, for slavery, or any of its constituent crimes and, Whereas, we acknowledge it to be our duty, as good citizens, as friends of truth and virtue, to act decidedly and efficiently against crime, whether found singly as in the numerous abuses of the day, or col- lectively as in slavery therefore, Resolved, That, from the nature of slavery, it is the duty of every friend of morality, virtue, good citizenship and education, to act determinedly and constantly, by every means within the range of conscientious action, against it, as an impious and barefaced outrage upon human rights. Resolved, That all human laws which are valid derive their validity, mediately or immediately, from the laws of nature, or the Divine Law. Resolved, That these laws are coeval with mankind, and being dictated by God himself, are, of course, superior in obligation to any others.

They are binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times; and those human enactments which conflict with these divine enactments, we affirm are not our rules of action. Resolved, That, as citizens of Ohio, in obedience to Divine injunction, shall never allow ourselves to be the passive and menial instruments for the support and perpetuation of an institution which is the hydra curse of the civilized world. Resolved, That the Fugitive Slave Law, and all slave laws, are monuments of despotism and we firmly resolve, with heart, and hand, and sleepless vigilance, to work for their eradication. Resolved, That any institution, or any men or set of men, that in any way favor slavery, show themselves to be unworthy of the support, respect or confidence of any friend of freedom. Resolved, That, in the light of the foregoing principles, it is with feelings of deep regret and utter disgust that we think of our Governor, Ex-Governor, and Legislature, welcoming to our noble State House, and to the free soil of Ohio, the Governors and Legislators of two of the States of this Union, which, in the most loathsome manner, are continually practising all the abuses of slavery, and striving for its extension.

Resolved, That it is our sincere wish that the great Republican party, instead of following and seconding this unwise movement of some of its leaders, may repudiate and denounce this not only unwise, but presumptuous effort to identify the freemen of Ohio in reciprocal sympathy with the minions and myrmidons of slavery men that live by selling babies, and revel in their debauchery at the expense of innocence and yirtue. Resolved, That it is with feelings of the deepest re LI BE BAT OR 31 spect and gratitude, that we regard this timely visit I Powers not expressly delegated to the Federal Gov-of Miss Watkins to our township, to tell us of the eminent were reserved-to the States. This power oi juim could only be exercised by a latitudinanan construc- wronzs of the slave, and to increase our zeal and de termination to act vigorously and decidedly our part in the truly 'irrepressible conflict between Freedom -and Slavery.

DAVIS, Secretary. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FBOM MAKIU3 B. Salem, (Ohio,) Feb. 9, 1860. My Dear Mr.

May I arrived at home, with my family, last evening, and am most nappy inueea to be here, after almost a five months absence. I am also quite pleased with the prospect of again working in Ohio, and especially to have the co-operation of Mrs. Gripping, who will well serve the cause. Our friends, whom I have met aince my return, all con cur in saving that, not only is there great need of! anti-slavery labor, but there is also an open door, far beyond the past. But for the national debauch of a Presidential election, just before us, I should expect to see the people of the Northern States make most rapid progress in anti-slavery education, during the coming season.

My New York experiences have been more agreeable than I anticipated. I have met onljr kindness from the I'have had most earnest invitations a to most of the daces I have visited. speak now of those I visited while alone. I left, with invitations to many new points, so that, in some respects, I was in letter condition to prosecute the work in New York when I left, than ever before. My ereatest drawback has been my inability to lecture as frequently as I desired.

Though being authorised to announce that all the participants with Captain John Brown at Harper'a Ferry (white and colored) are to be proportionate recipientsthemselves or dependents of the fuBds contributed under auspices of the Committee at Tremont Temple, Boston. Nov. 19, 1859, yet, it is well known that individuals and associations throughout the States have felt moved to make special appropriations wine to Mrs.

Brown and family, and some through other channels. The exercises at the Meionaon, January 24th, by youn.s colored men and women, originated in a desire to respond to the circular, in aid of a Monument to Copeland. Leery and Green, and relieving the wants of the widow of Louis A. Leary. who, it will i k.rt shot at Harper's Ferry.

This effort, though attended with some discouraging circumstances, enabled the forwarding to J. M. Fitch, Oberlin. Ohio, the sum of fifty dollars ten of w. for the Monument, the balance.

I learn that it is in contemplation, at as early a day as possible, to publish the histories of all the men n.mea have been prominently associated with the Harper's Ferry demonstration, and also, through other mediums, to transmit to posterity grapnio pre t.iinni of those noble souls who showed them elrw worthy companions of their gallant and de- voted martyr-leader, Captain John Brown. And no higher tribute surely could be awarded them, though the choicest terms of elaborate rhetoric were exhausted in the attempt.

A fair proportion from the sales is to be contributed in augmentation of the general fond for John Brown, his family, and his associates. WILLIAM C. NELL. Boston, Feb 1860. STAND AND DELIVER Thusiness (says the New York Tribune of blackmailing those wierchants of this and other Atlantic cities who desire to stand well at the South, is one which prospects so liberally and opens so rich, that we are not surprised to see a great many enterprising citizens embarking in it.

Where $25, $50. or even $100, is to be made by merely inserting a line in a Black or White List, according to circum stances, it is inevitable that those proffering such insertion should be numerous, and not particularly modest in pushing their trade. We are not surprised, therefore so long as fools and their money will be parted to see the following straightforward and business-like circular, just received by a mercantile house in this city: SOUTHERN MERCANTILE AND BUSINESS AGENCY, On Tenth street, between Main and Cary, Richxoxd, Viroinia- In consequence of the increased and increasing hostility between the North and South, which has greatly disturbed the harmonious business relations heretofore existing between the two sections of the country, we, the undersigned, have opened an office for the purpose of attempting to give a right direction to Southern trade, by withdrawing it from our Northern enemies, and placing it in the hands of our irienas, which we propose to do by furnishing Southern merchants and business men with such reliable information regarding Northern mercantile houses, as will enable them to trade exclusively with those who are friendly to the South and her institutions. Our books will contain the names of every Northern house ascertained to be worthy of Southern con fidence and these names, with the business and locality annexed, will be corrected annually, and published in a Book or Dictionary, prepared for the express purpose, and circulated throughout the whole Southern country; so that each merchant buying goods at the North, will be supplied with a copy, and thereby enabled to correctly discriminate between the friends and enemies of the South. Each subscriber will be entitled to, and shall receive, our greatest efforts to extend his business, which may be accomplished by the aid of our Directory, by private correspondence, by assistance rendered to acceptable travelling Agents, and by the exposition of samples.

Our Rooms are centrally located, and will be open at all times for business purposes, and for the reception of our Northern and Southern friends. To defray the expenses necessarily incurred in establishing our Agency, and in carrying out its design, we shall charge each house, whose name or card appears in our Directory, a sum not less than FIFTY DOLLARS, to be paid at the time of sub scribing.

1, 1860. COMPLEXIONAL POLITICAL RIGHTS, Cd5 Colored citizens of visible admixture have rights at the ballot-box. So has decided the wicked Supreme Court of Ohio, and that unanimously. They can recover, too, for a violation of those rights, for such is the just decision. Here it is Columbus, Feb.

14, 1860. Alfred J. Anderson v. Thomas Milliken et. aU Error to Common Pleas of Butler County.

Gholson J. delivered the opinion of the Court. Held 1. Persons having mixture of African blood, but a preponderance of white blood, cr being more white than black, and being otherwise qualified, were, by the settled construction of the section of the Constitution of 1802, regulating the exercise of the elective franchise, entitled to enjoy the right of an elector. No change was made, in this respect, by the corresponding section of the Constitution of 1851.

The same persons, being otherwise qualified, are not to be excluded on account of color, but are entitled under the present Constitution to vote at all elections. 2. The plaintiff being one of the description of persons so entitled to vote, having only one-eighth of African blood, and his vote having been refused for that reason only, at the election of 1856 for electors of President and Vice President of the United States, by the judges of the election, against whom he brought an action for such refusal Held, That he was entitled to recover for the violation of a right conferred by the Constitution. The decision was unanimous. PROCEEDGS IN CONGRESS.

U. S. Senate, Feb. 21st. Mr.

Mason, from the Harper's Ferry Committee, reported a resolution that the Sergeant-at-Arms be instructed to bring Thaddeus Hyatt, of New York, before the bar of the Senate to answer for contempt for refusing to come here and testify before the committee. Mr. Hale said that this was a dangerous precedent. (There was no warrant for it in the Constitution. tion of the Constitution.

He would ask for the and nays in the passage of the resolution. yeas Mr. Pugh said he had arrived at the conclusion that the Senate has no power to summon any witness from beyond the District of Columbia. Mr. Collamer thought the Senate had the same power as a court to compel the attendance of wit nesses.

Mr. Hale said he must differ from the gentleman from Vermont. He seemed to think they had all the power possessed by the British Parliament. Ours wss a government of limited powers. The Senate could not sit as a Court with plenary powers.

The resolution was adopted, by yeas 43, nays 12. The noes were Messrs. Brigham, Chester, Clark, Durkee, Hale, Hamlin, Pugh, Sumner, Toombs, Wade, Wilkinson and Wilson. The bill introduced by Senator Seward to-day, provides for the admission of Kansas under the Wyandotte Constitution. He gave notice that he would call it up on Wednesday, the 29th when he will express his views upon the subject.

This arrangement will satisfy the numerous enquiries which have been made as to whether he intended to make a speech. In the U. S. House of Representstives, Mr. Lovejoy (Rep.

111.) asked leave to introduce a preamble and resolution reciting the rights and privileges of citizens of the several States under the Constitution Whereas, it is alleged by responsible parties, that citizens of some of the States going into other States on business, such as the collection of debts, teachtn 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ana oiner uae nwiui uuuness, nave oeen personally treated with indignity and violence, and driven from their property for certain sentiments they may have neia, ana wunoui aiiegauoa oi crime ana wnereas. an alleged practice, similar to the European passport system, is springing up therefore, Resolved, That a Committee of five be appointed to inquire into the above-recited facts, and whether any further legislation is necessary to give effect to the said provision of the Constitution, and that the Committee be empowered to send for persons and papers. Mr. Lovejoy demanded a vote on the passage of the resolution. Objections were made.

From the Neu York Journal of Commerce. HAZLETT AND STEVENS. Mr. Editor, Permit me, through your conservative press, to make an appeal to the humanity of the Legislature of Virginia, as in their hands now rests the fate of. Llazlett ana btevens.

in ordinary eases. the croper course to pursue would be to petition the Legislature to commute the impending sentence of these men, out. uniortunateiy, such bitter sentiments have been engendered by this raid, that a petition from the North would not be regarded with much respect at this time. Thousands would pray for this relief, but, it is apprehended, the more numerous the petitioners, the more hostile would be the feeling towards these misguided prisoners. The community, here and in Europe, would regard the execution of these men with horror; besides, the sacrifice is useless, and csn promote no salutary end.

After the calamitous misapprehensions of the Legislature in Coppick's case, and the many hearts so need lessly desolated by his and Cook's death, something is due to human nature to clemency something to manifest to the world thst Virginia is neither implaca ble nor vindictive. Exasperation party spirit political capital, have caused mischief enonsh it is now time reason, humanity, Christianity, and even a spirit of magnanimity be displayed by the authorities of Vir giniathat, having vindicated the laws and honor of the State, they can now stsy their hand, and cease to carry misery and wretchedness to the hearthstones of many families, ana distress to tne community by any luxinar capita execuuoos. No other course then seems open, but a public appeal to the humanity of the Legislature of Virginia, to interpose its authority and stop the farther effusion of blood, the further needless sacrifice of life, and to assure them that all parties out of the immediate sphere of Southern party spirit would regard the execution of these men with undisguised horror, in which vindictive cruelty assumes the mask of -vindicating the outraged honor of the State. B. Chaxlestowx, Feb.

19. Stevens and Hss-lett, the late victims of the John Brown raid, are kept in the closest confinement. Stevens says he feels more cheerful and resigned than he ever expected to, and he remarked yesterday that the consciousness of suffering in a good cause is sufficient consolation. Hazlett is very low spirited, and declares he would infinitely prefer the wilds of Kansas to his present position. THE JOHN BROWN MEMORIAL SERVICES-SCENES IN A HAYTI CATHEDRAL.

On Friday, January 20th, the grand solemn service in memory of John Brown, took place at the Cathedral. Although the ceremony did not bear an official character. President Geffrard, with his wife and children, was present. During the day the flags were all kept at half-mast, and the houses hung with black. The church was draped in mourning, and in the middle of the nsve was erected a cenotaph, covered with crape, and illuminated with lighted wax tapers.

The upper part was covered with white drapery, on which were depicted a pen, a sword, and a Bible, with the inscription A Johjc Bbowtc, -I Makttk db ul Causb DBS Noibs. Ji TRe services were celebrated with unusual religious Abbe Mousse, an African, officiated at the High Mass. M. M. Federique and Viesana both pro-! nounced from, the pulpit eulogies of John Brown.

i In the afternoon, a grand procession was made to 1 the end of the city to a place. known as the 'Martyr's Cross, where further religious ceremonies took place. The principal citizens of Port-au-Prince have decided to wear mourning badges for three days. The Revue de Commerce, of Jan. 28th, thus speaks on the all-absorbing subject The death of John Brown is a crime of humanity a bloody defiance against civilization and God.

It is, moreover, a political fault of the American Government. Who can foresee the results of this immolation Who can tell what will come to the United States, and especially to the Carolinas and Virginia, who shed this generous blood, notwithstanding all di-' vine laws, the tears of a wife, and the cries of all Europe for mercy For us Haytians, we do not wish to return evil for evil, and we hope that the blood of this glorious martyr will not rise up against his executioners. We pray God to open their eyes and soften their hearts and while waiting the happy day of the regeneration of our enslaved brethren, let us raise in our hearts our altar to John Brown, the immortal benefactor of our race, the holy victim of our cause, and let us adopt as our sister and friend his worthy and unfortunate widow. Of all the champions of the holy war against the absurd prejudices of color, and the infamous doctrine of the subjugation of one part of the human race to another, John Brown, is the most illustrious and most unfortunate. Henceforth, greater thau other philanthropists, superior to Wilberforce, his sacred name will be pronounced with a holy respect, worthy of one who has given his life for the regeneration of the oppressed of mankind.

The country was quiet, and the popularity of President Geffrard continued unabated. How They Dissolved the Uxiox." The South Carolina Legislature lately sent out a parcel of resolutions inviting each of the other Southern States to join in a Disunion Conference. When they reached Texas, the Legislature eyed them suspiciously. Members remarked that Texas had had too much trouble getting into the Union to be in a hurry to get out of it. And they were summarily laid under the table.

When they reached Virginia, there was a long debate. But the Legislature finally came to the sensible conclusion that a Disunion Conference would have no power to dissolve the Union, and if it had, that was not what they wanted. So the resolutions were not concurred in. When they reached Maryland, the whole Legislature rose up, with two exceptions, to indignantly spurn them as an invitation to treason, which message goes back to South Carolina, with their compliments. Cold comfort for fire-eaters, this Albany Evening Journal.

A Kidnapper. A miserable apology for a man, answering the name of Curtis, was arrested, two or three days ago, in Iowa City, upon suspicion of being engaged in kidnapping. He had in his company two free colored girls, whom it was satisfactorily proved he intended to convey to Missouri, and selljinto slavery. He was held in $1000 bail to answer the charge. Of course the pro-slavery forces, who do not recognize the rights of the blacks, either bond or free, have come to his rescue, and will undoubtedly endeavor to shield him from the punishment so eminently his due.

These attempts at kidnapping are becoming common at the West. New York Poet. Thb Free Negro Bill Depbatbd in Mississippi. We learn that the bill for the expulsion of free negroes from the State, which passed the Mississippi House of Representatives, was defeated in the Senate. Gov.

Br Mr.

A. H. Ernst, an old and well-known citi zen of Cincinnati, died on the 13th inst. He came to Cincinnati in 1808, was a strong anti-slavery man, and was an active member of the Horticultural So ciety. His beautiful homestead was known as Spring Garden.

17 A man by the name of Nuckols, living near Pedlar Mills, Amherst was taken to a pond on Thursday of last week, by a party of citizens, and ducked, in consequence of his having used seditious language. He afterwards procured a warrant for the arrest of the parties who inflicted this summary pun ishment on him but, instead of the warrant being executed, the magistrate who issued it narrowly escaped a ducking himself. There is neither liberty nor law where there is slavery. Virginia means to make that fact evident. EP Jesse Wheeler, formerly Surveyor of Guildford county, N.

Buchanan has done a humane deed, for which let him have due credit. A colored man harbored and concealed his own son, a slave, for which he was thrown into prison until he could pay a fine of $200. A statement of the case showed it to be one of peculiar cruelty, and the President at once pardoned him. CP A person by the name of Frederick Southgate Brown has petitioned the Louisiana legislature to allow him ana his family to change their names. The reason given for the request is, that there is an undying stigma attached to the name of Brown consequent upon the actions of Old John' at Harper's Ferry.
