THE FEGI.TIVE LAW IN olllo.—Some time since three fugitive slaves were arrested in Sandusky,. Ohio, without . warrant or authority, and taken before an officer. An attorney named Sloan, who was employed as their counsel, advised theM that, as they had been arrested 'without legal warrant there Was no power to detain them, arid they were at liberty to depart if they says , tit.. They did depart, and es caped to-Canada; and suit was subse quently brought against Mr. Sloan to recover the penalty of _-'lOOO for each slave, as prescribed in the fugi tive law, for aiding slaves to escape. The case came on for trial. before Judge Leavitt, at Columbus, week beibre last, and he instructed the Jury to mulct Mr. Sloan in the penalty, which they did. It was proven satis factorily that Mr. Sloan was an. attor ney, and that he did nothing but give his opinion, as an attorney, on a legal point raised by the manner of arrest ing the fugitives; but notwithstanding this plain feature of the case Judge Leavitt charged adversely to Mr. Sloan, and the result is as we have stated it—a verdict of .3.3,000 and costs against him. • Who is this Judge Leavitt? We Were under the impression that Penn sylvania possessed the true, genuine American embodiment of i e n'ries ; but if we understand this Ohio case aright the questionable hoi:or belongs to our sister State. Such a subver sion of law and reason to please' the oligarchy entitles the Judge enga , ed in it to dispute, at least, with his Pennsylvania cotemporary, the pos session of a name more expressive than flattei Mg. 'l'h© fact that this law, otherwise . sufficiently infani.,u,. is thus abused to insult the popul:o: sentinieut of the North, furni,he, aNt tiler most pow erful reasuU for it, early repeal.— Pittilirrg The Canvass cf irarals There ha never hefore been an election in nthis xvinerein fraud and corruption were so wide-spread and pervading as in • that just closed. In the first place, the enormous con tributions of the Distillers, Brewers, and Lhinor livaiers, without distinc tion of party, cannn.nt have amounted to less than two hundred thousand dollars. Current report names that sum as•raised in this city, and twelve thousand at Buffalo, with corresp end-. ingtlibtirality among other members of the trade in other cities and villages. With this large ag7re , rate neutral and B ronsun presses were bought up, new outs ,tatted, and r„nin and on freely distributed whenever anything would be gained by such tnnetics., The last week was the most drunken which this City has ever kaosvn, and the lurid fires thus kindled in the brains of thonspods will 'miry ninny to their findl•account. It will he long ere cur City- reccvors from the terrible de bauch of election week in November, ISS I. T4hdirc. NA'Mow Ese.tvu.—Old Mr. Fuddle fell down in a puddle, just as a run away horse and a shay carne slashing, and splashing, and tearing that way. In helpless plight, he roared with fright; the horse came quick—all ffal lOP and. kick ; tk;ben the ()Id man raised his great oak stick. The horse the: shied a little aside, for sticks were ho friends to his well-fed hide. Within a f;)ot of Fuddle's toes, within awinch of his ruby nose, the wheel came whizzing, and on it goes. I_Tp rose Fuddle from (hit f the puddle, and stands on the road with a swag gering pride ; then wheeling away from the scene of the fray, ilourislies his stick with a hero's pride. A Romtsu Prat: r.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE commences its XIVIII aunts Ll VoIIIIIIC with the month of September—commences it kith a circulation (115,000) larger than was ever beforeaccorded to any .general newspaper whatever.

The• leading ideas to .which THE TRI BUNE is devoted may be briefly set Ibrilt as follows : 1. Fummom, to do whatever i es sentia,:y rich:—not alone for white Ameri- can-, or Angto Saxons, or Caucasians even— not for one Race to determine whether ditty will or will not hold another Race in ab j ect bondage—hut for every Race and Nation, and every adtut raitonal, lonnati being. This Ereedom is rightfaily absolute in the broad domain of Opinion and involves the equal and imperative right to Political Franchises; 2. OunER, or the necessary right of the legally indicated majority to interdict in the sphere of action all practices which it deems demor alizing, thereMre premlicial to the common weat;triCcar F., or the wisdom and policy of empty ing . the resources and credit of the comnoinny accompdsh worts of general and moptesiioned utility to which indtvidual nieths are inadequate or which, though eminently conducive e t the , public good, do no. promise to reMthurse by dies direct• income the on requtred for their cons rue ion: 1.
