Dloomsburg,-Thursday, Jan. 30, 1851.
A SIGNIFICANT VOTE.
last week a bill came up in the Pennsyl
Vania Senate repealing the objectionable part
of the slave act of 1847. The vote upon
this act to repeal was almost strictly a party
one. Only one Whig (Mr. Frick) votod in
the affirmative and one Democrat (Mr. Gu
ernsey) in *hc negative. The law of 1847
'is that one making it a misdemeanor in any
elate magistrate to act under the law of Con
gress far restoring fugitive slaves, and pun
-isliing him severely by fine and imprison
kaent. It also provides that the jails ol I'enn>
sylvania shall not be used for the detention
of fugitive slaves, under a penally of line
und imprisonment to the sheriff or jailor.
The vote of last week in the Senato shows
the abolition sympathies of Federalism, and
the hollow heartod hypocrisy of its cant a
bout "Nationalism."
After the fever of the last presidential elec
tion, ar.d when statesmen like Lewis Cast,
and Judge Douglass-appealed from fanata
,JMp. cism jjnd clamor to the thoughtful judgment
<of a dispassioncd nation, the Democratic
- doctrine of nan intervention was conceded
'to be right. Clay and Webstei had no ob
■jeotiens to admit its correctness, after the dec
lion, aad when the truth was vindicating it
-self. And after General Foote had fought
ithrough the appointment of a Compromise
committo in Congress, Mr. Clay had no ob
jections to be chairman of the committee
and to take the honors of the measures
•which it proposed. The Rhinii.g lights of
Federalism lound out that the Democratic
doctrine was right after all, and great credit
did they claim for this sagacity. Of course
they subscribed to the Compromise meas
ures of Gen. Foote when almost every dis
criminating mind in the land had decided for
.them, and when these Solons found that the
were upon that side.
In Pennsylvania, he/ore the election Governor
Johnson peddled his Freesoilism ihroug the
state as a dilapidated gentleman would ped
die out antiquated oysters through the public
streets ; and he cried off his abolitionism up
on the highway and in the public places to
•the highest bidder. Scarcely a township
constable could bo elected without being
asked whether ha was a proviso man. But
after the election it was discovered that there
was much truth in the non-intervention idea
of Democracy and that it was growing ex
ceedingly popular. Federalism grew won
drou#patriolic and constitutional—i'.s high
priests put on broad pylacteries with moltes of
"compromise" and "nationalism," and tho
followers worshiped devoutly and obedi
ently.
But now another election ia approaching,
and it seems a profitable thing to bid high
lor the abolition vote of the state. And with
Teference to that the Whigs of the Senate
last week voted And now let that vote go
4o Webster and Clay—nay, let it go to the
American peopto and show what manner of
two-faced Janus this thing of Federalism
lias proved itself. Let its abolition sympa
thies bo understood, and its phatisaical cant
about nationalism and the constitution be
cast to the teeth to give its demagogues the
Jie.
And now let us hear no mote reproach
upon the Domocrats of Massachusetts be
cause some Freosoil Democratic members
voted for a Democratic governor. If in that
state Mahommed has come to the mountain,
the mountain has not yet gone to Mahom
mied. And least of all should that reproach
icomefroma Pennsylvania Whig, whose
co-laborers have truckled to Antimnsonry—
have cringed and fawned like hungry sup
pliants around Native Americanism—nnd
are now licking their parched jaws for a
morsel of votes and plunder from Abolition
ism.
ANOTHER FUGITIVE SLAVE was last Thurs
day arrested at Columbia, Pa. The proof of
his ideitity was clear, and he was restored to
hts master. He said he would never have
run ofT if he had not been alrard of being
sent to Georgia. It seems the abolitionists
had been instigating the slave to insurrection
untiT the master became afraid and jealous
of him. The negro obsorving this fled to a
more degrading servitude and fell into the
hands of harder taskmasters.
TCORTH BRANCH EXTENSION—The effect of
ithe rapid advancement of this important link
-of our Stale improvements, has been to ma
.tarially enhance the prioe of lands along
.its entire route. We are informed that an
.acre and a half, situated near the mouth of
ithe Lackawanna, in Piltston township, Lu
xerne county, at the southern commence
ment of the work, recently sold for S3OOO ;
and that othei lands have also been disposed
of at proportionate tates> particularly coal
iands. .....

Another Figltive Slave Cave.
One day laat week a fugitive slave named
Grayson and aged 21, was arrested at Dan
ville and taken back to hia master. He
was rejoiced to learn that he was to go
'•back to ole Virginny," and find there a
hand more provident for good than his own
had been. He had led a hard life as a
gitive, and suffered much by degradation
and toil. He had become a wandering vag
abond for whom there was here no kindneßS
or help. No wonder then 'hat his sable
countenance seemed to brighten with the
prospect of again ficding a protecting mas.
ter.
We have often said that the frantic aboli
tionists are the worst enemies of the slave,
and this case illustrates the fact. The
preachers of discontent make the slave rest
less, unhappy and without better
ing his lot. They engender a spirit ot jeal
ous bitterness : etween the master and slave,
and draw tighter the gives of slavery as
thoy cut deeper Poor G ravson
had felt the cruel kindness of negro degra
dation and sufioring in the North, and he
was heaitily glad for deliverance from his
strange new friends.
This case at Danville passod off without
any faitful fever of crazed minds to mani
fest a hypocritical or morbid sympathy.
There was no consequent convulsion in
trade-—no stopping ol the iron business—no
special squalling of babies—and no fainting
<f women, asGrayson was taken ofT to have
a home again. Danville is still in existence,
and the sun yet shines. And indeed it is a
wholesome reflection to know that correct
views prevail in our neighborhood upon this
much distorted subject of abolitionism The
spirit of lawlessness and treason is harmless
here, and the public mind is based upon
reason and right.
How diffiereiit is the result of this case
from that of Henry Long. Grayson goes
back to find the protection and home of in
dulgence. Ho goes to find friendliness and
kind treatment, for no one has embittered
him against his master. But for Long con
tributions were begged even from the poor
est white slaves of New York. He was in
stigated to evil against his master, until the
master could no longer hold him in safety,
and the miserable object of misguided sick
ly sympathy was sold like] a brute in the
public market place to a strange new task
master. He was sold to go further south
where he would never escape, for he brought
the good sum of $750 and his purchaser by
the conditions of sale was compelled to en
ter into a bond of $3,000 with surety, to re
move Long to the South. Let a discrimina
ting public say who is responsible for that
sale of the un r orlunate bondman.

Re.ml icd that, as the regular delegate to

terest oi the public is not manifested for tho
call of such a meeting, we deem it propel to
dispense with such call.

COURT PROCEEDINGS.
The proceedings of the Conrt at January

charged.
To the Honorable the Judges of the Court of
<iuarter Sessions of the Peace in and for the
county of Columbia—
The undersigned, grand Inquest of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, inquiring
for the body ol the county of Columbia,
respectfully
REPORT
That in pursuance of their duties, they
have examined the Public Buildings, and
find that the Iron-railirg, heretofore recom
mended, in front of the Court House portico,
has not yet been put up which is much nee
ded—that several panes are brokon out of
the Grand Jury room, and also in other parts
of the public buildihgs, which ought to be
repaired immediately—that the hand-railing
on the steps inside of the prison is torn off—
that the opening in one of the jail room walls
up etairs, made by prisoners who escaped
some time since has not been sufficiently
repaired—that the fire-plsces ;n the prison
rooms up stairs are considered dangerous .
that a number of glasses in the prison rooms
lately broken are much needed—that the
pripy iu the jail yard, is in a bad condition
and requires repairing, and that the privy
between the Court House and jail also re
quires attention-
That the attention of the Supervisors is di
rected to the importance of opening the re
maining part of the state road, leading from
Kohrsburg to Sullivan county. That the
condition of the roadß and Bridges, generally
are in ordinary state.—We recommend that
the foregoing suggestions be carried into
speedy execution. All which is respectfully
submitted.

their regret for the death of the Hon. JOSEPH
B. ANTHONV, late President Judge of this

ieehnjr address, cnmmomorata.l tha viriuas

plete fitness for all the stations he was called

On motion of James Pleasjats, Esq, J. G.
Freeze, Esq., presented to the meeting the
following preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, By an afflicting dispensation of
Providence, we have been called to mount
the decease of our late President Judge.
Therefore.
Resolved, That as Members of the Bar of
Columbia county, in the eigth Judicial Dis
trict, we have heard with the most profound
regret, the death of Hon. Joseph B. Anthony
late President Judge of this District.
Resolved, That we hold in the highest res
pect the memory of the deceased—as well
for his personal character, as for his exalted
judicial iutogrily—which held the scales ol
justice in his hands, above the reach of in
fluence, and away from the breath of preju
dice—

Appointment ol Delegates.
It will be observed that the Standing Com
mittee of this county have chosen the dele
gates to represent this county in the Judicial
Convention at Harrisburg. The delegate to
the Reading Convention having already been
chosen last fall, aud but bitter interest being
felt in the Judicial Convention, it was with
truth thought that the Standing Committee,
chosen by a convention of the people, and
directing representing the Democracy of the
whole county, are more officially the organs
of the whole party than a prepared county
meeting where accident gises voioe ; and
can doubtless as correctly judge the public
wish as a convention of six or eight town
ships.
J. E. BONHAM, Esq., the democratic candi
date to fill the vacancy in the house of Cum
berland, was elected on Friday by a majority
c.f about 500. This is a most gratifying re
sult, and shows the high estimation in which
Mr. B. is held at home.

bers of Assembly of Pennsyl

otiaa,Mfkßn and unwavering Democracy,
merits and receives our highest commenda
tion, especially as exhibited in the trying
situation in which he has been placed during
the pendency ef the great Compromise mea
sures in the National Legislature, the speedy
and harmonious settlement of which was so
deeply important to the continued prosperity
and happiness of our glorious Union.
Resolved, That the Secretaries of '.his mee
ting be authorized to transmit to the Hon. D.
Sturgeon a copy of these resolutions.
WM. F. PACKER, Chairman.

Another Democratic U. 9, Senator.
We announce, with much satisfaction, the
election of Hon. James A. Bayard, of Wil
mington, Delaware, to the U. S. Senate, for
the full term of six years, beginniog on the
4th of March neat—Mr. Wales, Whig, reti
ring onumt dajf. "The election took place
at Dover, the capital of Delaware, and on
the S3d inst., and Mr. Bayard received the
entire Democratic vote'of the two houses.
We believe the new Senator has never be
fore occupied any representative position!;
but he goes into the Senate with all the ad
vantages conferred by a ripe education
rarely equalled poweis as a lawyer and a
debater, and a mind of /he highest order.
As the champion of the Democratic party in
Delaware for many years, he has often dis
tinguished himself by his eloquence, and
has always been found consistent and true.
The country does not contain a more thor
ough and fearless defender of the national
Democracy, or a bolder foe of faction and of
abo!itu>nim. Ha will adorn the eeat lo
whicL he has been elected, and will be a
most acceptable addition to the majority of
that body. We congratulate Delaware upon
the choice of such a Senator.

One day last week as two lade, sons of
Mr. Charles Reed, were playing near Fish
bach, in the upper part of this Borough, they
discovered a string which showed itself at
the surface of the earth and on pulling at it
found it fastened to something underneath.
On removing aome two or three inches of
earth they found a small bag containing a
quantity of Jewelry, some of it in an unfin
ished state, and evidently from a manufacto
ry. The articles consisted of Gold and Sil
ver Chains, Pencil cases, Lockets, Rings,
&c. See. which Mr. Reed exhibited to Mr.
Green, Jeweller who estimated their value at
$250 to S3OO. They were in all probability
bronght here from Philadelphia, and were
some of the property stolen there within the
past few months.— PoUtville Emporium.
We are told the population of Luzerne

How to detect the CounterfeUe. —The Coun

of Potlsville, bear dale 1848—while the
Bank, as we are informed by one of the of
ficers, lias no notes of aay description in

should be borne in mind.
