be'might object bribe manner of choosing

One of the-Grand" Jurors was engaged with
Clark in (be attack on McCrea when the lat
ter Sholhim. - Notwithstanding this fact the
Judge oyer ruled every mot ion (bribe defend
ant, sod alsa refuaed to sign a bill of excep
tions, oc-explain by what rule he selected
(betixteen Grand Jurors; ■ The Grand Jury
urns' then sworn and the CodriJ adjourned.
Jfoxi morning Lecompte secretly added three
mdre.to the Jury. On .Thursday after noon
the Grand Jury cimeimo Court for inslruc
tions in the AfcCrea case. Instead of publicly
iastructing them the Judge tfeht them back to
their arooro, and delega'ed R. R. Rees, the
Chairman of the ruffian mob that attacked
Pnilips, to insirdcl them in their duties. Be
ing still divided, they again /brcediheir fore-1
man to lend them into Court. The foreman?
who is one of the fire eaters under Stringfel”-
law, Atchison & Co - , was exceedingly angry
at their obstinacy, and as he pome into couij
exclaimed“ They can’t agree-, - three are fur
a presentment fomlnurder, five for man
slaughter, and'elfevefl against finding any bill."
This announcement produced ir' great sensa
tion in Court,and the Judge, without instruct
ing the-Jury that in such a case they should
return’.he ! bin' ,, ighorcd 1 ” sent them back to
their rnorrt and caused other -business to be,
brotighl before them. A majority’ of the
Jury, -however, being in favor of ignoring
the bill nghinst McCrcn, refused to act upon
anyulher business until his case was finally
disposed of, and therefore returned again and
ifgain itifo Court, without making any pre
sentment. This was continued until Saturday,
when the Judge perceiving that he, to go oh
with the business before him, musT do justice
to McCrea by giving the Jury proper instruc
tions, dismissed the Grand Jury, and ad,
■j burned the Court until the second Monday
nf November. Such an adjournment is not
legal, being authorized by no statute, aud is
in fact, a dissolution of ihe Court. As such
it was doubtless intended, in order to detain
McCrea in prison until next Spring, that an
olhereffbrl may be organized to pack a Grand
Jury. The baseness of the Judge has no l
been unobserved, nor will it pass without no
tice, A petition will be present, d to the
President praying for his removal on the
ground of corruption and imbecility in office.
Vnd there is not a single attorney of respecta
bllity in the Territory who will not sign it, -
When this man came to the Territory the
people looked upon him with hope and confi
dence ; but ever since he sold an extra judicial*'
opinion fir an interest in the proposed locu
tion for the Capital, public opinion has hastily
changed toward him. Since his encourage
ment of the ruffians of this neighborhood, In
showing a disposition to frown down all
charges brought against them, ihe ci'izens
of the town have found it necessary to ap
point a special police, and fl greater part of
the citizens are obliged to curry arms to de
fend themselves from outrage.

On the dnV of election the motley crowd

the steps of the hotel In litis place. They
were told that slavery \Vns right fur Kansas,

their hands, knives in their belts, bottles io
their pockets, and whiskey in their bellies,
they swaggered around the
swearing and shouting in develish glee and
fiendish exultation over their fancied tri

As the day advanced and night approach,

overbearing. They marched through the

Passmore Wtliiamsou,
The most startling doctrine ever promulgated in
a free country, is that held by Judge Kane in tlio
Wheeler Slave case, in which he saya— M l know of
no law of Pennsylvania by which a slave becomes a
freeman, when, under the control of his master, be
sets font upon her soil.”
ilud lhis declaration been made by Judge Kane
alone, and supported alone by bis opinion, it might
be looked upon as an error of judgment, by the more
cbaritaqle : but when wc find it re-affirmed and in
sisted upon by tlio entire Supreme Bench of the
Slate, with one honorable exception, the cloak is
thrown off, the maltcr is removed beyond the sphere
of accident and unintentional error, and unmistak
able design bcoumca apparent.
Freemen, if this doctrine be true; if il has a
ftmudatian either In organic or common law, then
the security which we as independent freemen have
been taught to rely upon as a guaranty Ihnl involun
tary servitude should never again curse our soil—if
this be true, that security doe#* not exist and never
has existed. If, after special Legislative enactment
has been called in to cleanse our hands of this great
c*t of human wrong* Pennsylvania is still a Slave
Stale, then il U lime that we withdraw our confi
dence in Legislatures and take up the matter in our
homes, by our firesides, and like men who love to do
their duly, place il forever beyond doubt or dispute.
Look at this new doctrine: Il Is declared by a
tribunal held competent to decide to the matter, ahd
from which theic is bnt one appeal' (and that can
only be prosecuted in a Court controlled entirely by
the Slave Power,) that (here is no Itno in Penntyloa
hia prohibitory 0/ Shtery ieithin it 9 borders. In
other words, that t slaveholder may bring his slaves
into the Stale and hold them, in defiance of all law*
and contrary to the decisions of even the Southern
Courts.
If the freemen of Pennsylvania arc not thorough
ly alarmed at the audacity of this decision, and driv
en to open rebellion, In rescue their rights from the
grasp of a corrupt Judiciary if remonstrance fails,
(hen they deserve to be oppressed and scourged fur
(licir indifference. What! if a blow aimed at the
root of our'existence as a sovereign Slate, and which
if suffered to fall, effectually churns us hand and foot
and gives us over to the fender mercies of the Slave
Pnwortas that the precedent, if established, will op
en the way for still more dangerous aggressions—if
suclf a bjow eannot arouse every Pennsylvanian-to
determined resistance, we art lost ! utterly hit—
slaves in all bnt ouUvord symbols and the bequeath*
era of chains lo those who come after a*.
ft-in no strange thing to find ihe’mind of the Fed
eral and Slate Judiciary harmonising in a matter of
this import. So long as the Slave Power has a ma
jority in the Federal Courts, and while there exists
in (he breasts of our Stale Judges an ambition to
exchange (he Slate for (ho National ermine, just so
long will the Qrtrighteous decisions of the one be
sustained by (he other. It is idle to expect a clique
of demagogues* invested 'with powers which make
bad men as terrible as limy render the upright
noble and useful, to do otherwise than bow down
submissively lo the power which-holds llieir prefer
ment in the hollow of ils hand.
Thu Slave Power holds a majority in the Federal
Judiciary. U hat altcnyt bun in lie majority there.
Out of 37 Federal Judges Slavery has had 22. 50
years out of about 70, Southern men have occupied
the Presidential chair. Of 19 Secretaries ol State
14 tvere from Slave Slates ; and so on through the
various departments of Government—Slavery is in
the majority., Virginia and Maryland alone, have
received more patronage than the enlire North.
Thus, the South, through the Government patron
age, controls (he internal affairs of the States, The
men who compote our Judiciary are not ignorant of
this fact, as the recent humiliation of this Slate at
their hands, proves. The Black Power dispenses its
■patronage judiciously, and therefore Courts and Leg
islatures shape their decisions and enactments with
a view to conciliate' (hat Power. £yery traitor to

it is tlio free men of Pennsylvania who will bear
and decide this matter. The Federal judges may
flood the land with Opinions, yet the strong but less
ostentatious and less brawling current of Public
Opinion will bear them down a thousand fathoms
deep in its resistless tide. Those corrupt Judges
are now before a tribunal whose decision can make
or unmake them at will. Justice will surely over
take them. It has already overtaken them in Tioga,
Bradford, Susquehanna, Potter and McKean. It will
just as surely overtake them throughout the length
and breadth of the entire North in 1856.
EDITOB.
The resell in (he Stito should give the friends of
Freedom no uneasiness. More voles were found
against the Administration than lor it, and making’
a modemle estimate of the certain spread of the an
ti-slavery sentiment in (he intervening time, Penn
sylvania, by the untiring vigilance of the friends of
Freedom, can be made to speak with 30,000 tongues
against the Southern candidate for President. The
Legislature is lost to us by the unhappy divisions in
this Republican ranks. Running three or four tick
ets against one Hunker ticket never did pay and has
not paid this.fall. Know-Notliingism has run itself
into the ground and nobody feels bad about it ex
cept (lie passengers. It is hoped that the Order will
subside jnlo a mere religious institution and give all
its energies to the task of watching the Pope and
Bishop Hughes, It is of no service politically ex.
ccpt to help the enemy. In the bands of Judge Jes.
•up and a few Harrisburg schemers, it withdrew
Passmore Williamson and substituted Nicholson at
the eleventh hoar—thereby removing the true issue
from before the people and substituting an issue of
no possible con'seqiicnco in the result- The election
of Nicholson was really of no consequence to the
cau«e wc advocate. It mattered not wb&t stripe of
pollttulan should bo awarded three years'stealings
ias one of the Gan 111 Board. The strength ol the Re,
publican party would have been fully exhibited ■ in
the vote for Williamson—it Is not in the vole (or
Nicholson.
The Republican Stale Committee, just appointed
by Judge Jessup ia another lovely exemplification of
Know-Nothing diplomacy. It is composed of 25
persons, 19 of whom are Know-Nothings !—some of
'the most active enemies of the Republican organi
zation from the very start, and all, in fact, more or
loss hostile to the movement. To salt this Commit
tee and give it an appearance of respectability, tix
known and good Republicans are placed on it, am
ong whom are Judge Wilmot, John B. tfowe and
George Darsie. Now. wo miss onr guess if these
six Republicans do not find themselves in a remark
ably uniform minority whenever called'uptm la set,
if they consent to pel at all. '
It is very certain that the' Republican party will
not lend its aid to the resuscitation of eitfter Wh|g
gcry, hunkcriam or Know-Nmhingism. State Com
milieus cannot sell the people; and we move that at
the next Convention some man with unimpeachable
backbone—one that can stand the strain of a dozen
Baltimore Conventions—be made its President.
Judge Wilmot addressed a large and attentive au
dience at the Court House, Thursday evening 18lh
instant. Ho took up (he subject of Slavery tad
reviewed the coursc of the Slavery Propaganda from
so early period down lo the imprisonment of Will,
iamson by Kane, in a candid and tamest manner.
Had we not been selfishly employed in hearing far
ourself and for nobody else, we should have attempt

liGuale of membership in the modern democratic
party described. Toward the close of the speech he
was continually interrupted by hearty cheers and
laughter, and IcA the stand amid the most enthusi

present in that sudience, disposed to be just even to

sessed of ordinary sympathies in view of.SJavery,

This new work, got up in the Publishers* usual
excellent style, and Irom the pen of the celebrated
Dr. Dixon, ensures it a ready sale. The author is
one of the most vigorous and nervous writers in
the country. Glancing over its ncally-printed pa
ges we find ourselves about equally divided between
laughing and crying. Wit, humor, sorrowful scenes,'
awkward adventures, pathos, plots and counterplots
in everyday Hfo—all these render the book one of
the most attractive we have ever read. The author
takes his audience into the lowly hovel and into the
palace of (he merchant prince; and we are con
strained to admit that misery treads upon gaudy
carpets no less than damp, perhaps snuwcsrtxted
hovels. In description (he author commands the
reader's undivided ollenliun. Who wants a book

be happy also to mail these documents to

of our Common Schools—“l,thank you for

and friend of education in the state ought to
have a copy at once.” We shall take, great
pleasure in distributing it. If School Direct,

our school machinery, must to them appear
plain, easy, and in the highest degree useful.

The Repoitisa valuable document, though
so much so as ihe one io succeed it, be
cause the County Supt’s had not got fairly at
Work when ihey were obliged Io forward their
rqporls'for the .current year, which constitutes
the main body ef the work. Still it contains
the opinions of many men on the education
of the masses in this Commonwealth and can
not fail to do much good.
The blanks for teacher a reports, to be fur

Dear Father : I have by. a former letter
told you ihat ilie court met last Monday; t
now propose to give you a hisiory ot Hie
proceedings. Forty-eight grand jurors were
summoned ; out of these the judge 'selected
sixteen public'y, who being duly sworn »na
impaneled, retired to their room.. .He after
ward privately added three to (heir number,
making nineteen, who on Thursday came
I inlocaurl, several limes for inctrucions, but
I instead of giving such instructions publicly,
jilu-judge each lime sent ihem back to Ihcit
j room, and senl such persons as he ihuught

I seal 11. R. Rees, ihc chairmen of ihe-coni

jury continued to be agitated, divided,.ana lo
force.iheir foreman lo lend ihem into cuuil,
who, becoming excited, exclaimed in open
j court that the jury could not agree, as there
were three in tnvur of finding lor murrier,
five for manslaughter, and eleven opposea lo
finding any hill aumn-,1 me. Again the juog*
sent them to their ioun without instructing
them itiai they, in stirh a case, should report

| and thus (ho grand jury continued till Satur
day vainly endeavoring lo gel the foreman to
do his duly in returning the bill to court in
dorsed “Not found," when iho judge, fraud
ulently cooperating with my enemies on ths
grand jury, adjourned the court till Iho second
Monday of next November, and {I am, in vi
olation of all law and justice, deprived of my

I This poor weak judge makes my case «»
much a party question us the infamous Siring

When I shall gel out of his hands ( cannot
tell. Another application will in n few days
be made by wril of babeaa corpus, qnderror
taken on that loihe Supreme Court at Wash
ington, which I think is my only chance of
of ever getting out by law.
Now, that I nm writing, 2 o’clock A. M.,
ihe cily is a)) awake and in arms, several sus
picious scoundrels having appeared assembled
about t he streets in the evening in conversa
tion with the bandii, Hughes, who was last
night seen prowling about the house of Mr.
Philips, with a gun in bis hands, it is sup
posed that there is a company of ruffians
from Missouri ns-emhled in the bushes 'nesr
the cily, and there is a force of at least three
hundred.men well armed now reody to re
ceive ihcm on ihe pait of our city. t( it
supposed that they contemplate an assault
upon several of iho citizens, including.royself
and ilie democratic press in this city, The
Kansas Territorial Register. Sentinel* are
posted at every part of the town and in eve
ry corner with a signal. I have heard sev

He was shot at lust night by a man who was
