From the Pennsylvanian, IMPORTANT TRIAL. Caleb Johnson vs. isaachar Kindcrdine, ctat. Jhisrict Court of the United States. : Prestint, Judges lialdicin and Hopkinson. I The attention cf the District Coin tof the United States, lias recently been engaged in Hie trial of a suit growing out of the appro tension of a runaway slave, by his owner. The jiiibsianre of the evidence, detailed by the wit nesses, is as follows! J n the year 1822, a party of four citizens of New Jersey, came into the Stale of Pennsylva nia, am! took fiom the service of the person 'vitli whom he was then living, a black slave, V lined Jack, whom they alleged bad abscond ■ed from one of the paity some lime previously, nn I after in tiiacling him, placed him in a dear bon, with lhe supposed intention of “running” itioi from the bounds o! this Commonwealth. On their wiv fiom the house, they were as ,F noted bv a mul'i'ui ", headed by Mr. Isaachar Rm leidme, the iiidividu d with whom the slave sv,is living at the time, and having been serious ly injured front missels thrown by this mob, lhe party in the wagon were compelled to stop, in conseijtience of a blow received on the head, . by Caleb Johnson, the master of the negro—j I'.ie slave taken from their possession —the gen- I tinmen who had come merely to reclaim theii ■ propertv, were taken in’o custody,, and lhe| pl limit!’ in this suit committed to the jail of' Norristown, to answer to lhe charge ofltdony, I before the proper county court, fits trial took; place accordingly, and ho was honorably at-, quitted. j On these grounds C deb Johnson has' brought an action of damages against Isaachar i Kinderdine, et alios, who participated in the; violence before staled to his person. The I 11 limaiit prosecutes this cause under an act of. Congress, passed to assist masters in the re-; coverv of their runaway slaves, and demands ns a recompense to himself, damages in the sum <d’s 10,000. The charge of Justice B ddwin was eloquent j nhd conclusive, and afforded a striking com mentary, on lhe recklessness of those who as- ■ s"it th.it ibe North is interfering with lhe pe- 1 culiar properly of the South; he expiessly in formed the jury, ih it a mister his the right of arii’siing bis s| ive, without a warrant, and cariying him before any competent tribunal, in order to prove his propeity; that he is not re quired io answer lhe questions of any one, ex- I < opt those of the leg d magistrates, -md that parole evidence is sulFi •ient to show the validi- ; iv of his claims in the absence ofa bill of sale, j Ills address was adverse to the defendants, and fdimdd he spread widely, for it would have a powerful influence in allaying the fears of one : .ceciioti of lhe country mi this subject. The 1 Jury L’ivo a verdict for plaintiff, and awarded dam iges at $ 4000. A POPULAR PREACHER. A short lime ago one of-he self elected class : f)ivines who air not in common excessively College hied, was holding forth to his congre gation upon a subject well cah’iil tied to arouse llie attention of incorrigible hearts. After bla i*.iti ,r awav wth bis sul>j< , ct, until he had render ed Pandemonium as Vesuvius, and as I,lack as JMat 'in’s Satan, lie rounded a sublime perora tion with the following sentence —“Now heark en le sinneisl I tell ve that ve’ll all go to h—l. , ns sure as I’ll ca’ch ’hi’ flv on the Bild'*.” at tiie same lime in diing a determined s weep with his palm across the « >cred page, to rupture ill' l Talisnrinie insect. IL then proceeded to open his clenched fist, finger hv finger, until 'he last digit was relaxed, (eit behold the poor flv had I eluded his grasp. Looking surprised and dis-j '•piioinled fora few moments, the Minister at j lerig'h exclaimed, “Bv the hokv I’ve miss’d i him! flwie’s a climce for you yet, ye sinful rag gainiifl’ni’l” j I CHEROKEE, j Saturday, Jane 8,1833. THE NEXT GOVERNOR. We do not wish or intend, at any time, as the friend and supporter of Govern", l.iiinpki”. that I any thing we inav say in his (avor, shall pass, i with a solitary individual, for more than its intiin- I sic worth; nor, upon the other hand, any thing we | •nay sav about his opponent, he calculated io de- ; tract from his fame or goo I standing with the pro- : pie, a party or any individual; the re-election ot ; Governor l.iinipkin, requires noeflm t like the first, our own sense of propriety, forbid,s tn p l itter.— ’ Every individual voter has a tight to know what , are the political opinions of every candidate, asking 1 liis confidence; proeei ding upon this right and ; having a desin. to act understandingly, wo would | ttladlv. be informed, upon a few [mints, what are Mr. (’tawfoid's opinions we are in a search of in-! formation, honestly, and are not. upon this occa- ; sion invidious. W'h ii are Mr. Craw ford's opinions as to Georgia's rights and course in her dealings with tin* C'-erokees? What are Crawford s opinions with regard to Nullification ? We should like tn see categorical answers to each of these ipu’Stinns We h ive said we were not invidious in asking these questions, ve might siv more; we, greatly, misunderstood common report, last Au gust, at n certain point of the state, or Mr. ( raw ford « is a Union man. in the broad sense ot the term, and rro:? we have to understand him to be a Union man with some qualification—we mean by ti Union min one who denounced Nullification in all its hearings and r unifications, t'liinot the Standard of Uciou lutnish the i.itcnnaitoo we seek ? BANKS. Another of these institutions is shaken if not broken—broken we are sure it is not but it must be injured at least to lhe amount of $ 71,000. — The Branch of the Stale Bank of Georgia, at i Grecnesboro’ appears to have failed, report author ! ises us to say, (hat tire cashier, whom we do not know, is in default to that amount. The Legislature has been very prolific, of Bank charters; without looking to the consequences, Bank after Bank has been chartered and no diffi culty has been apprehended until the difficulties, all at once, have come upon us. We are alarmed i every now and then with the failure ofa Bank and hear much complaint of its effects. Something must be done for tlie security of the bill-holders, they have a right to look to the Legislature for tint something; the Legislature chartered the Banks, the Legislature should devise some plan to secure the holders of the bills of the Banks they have chartered, ‘he people will demand this, they will be satisfied with nothing less—they have a right to require it they will not be satisfied without it. . i It is useless for us to proceed in the reasoning, I : as (o the ntiliiv of these nstitutions, more pariicu- i Lirly as respects mercantile communities; indeed j Banking, when confined within the mercantile rule, j can benefit merchants only a ; 1 is calculated to ' embarrass the farmer or mechanic, more than bene- ! fit him; it may afi’ird them a temporary suspension ! of disaster, but in nine cases out often, it ends in , disaster. A Bank that endeavors to shape its bu-.j sin«*ss so as to suit the farming or mechanical in- ; terests finds its business constantly embarrassed ! and straitened atid it progresses tardily. These - things arise from the principles of Banking. We! do not wish to be understood as condemning the system entirely; but the system as it has been car- ) ried out in Georgia, is most wretched, and we trust the Legislature will do something for its amend ment. There seems to ns nothing easier than to em barrass the business of one of these institutions, j and the only matter of surprise that hovers about it, is, that more of the Banks do not fail than do. A Bank is charteted by the Legislature, permitted to deal upon a capital, two thirds of which is ficti tious. it goes into operation and throws into circu lation three times the amount of Bills thatithas specie in its vaults, the hill holders become a larmed, from some cause, real or imaginaiy is im- ! material, they call upon tire Bank for specie, any j . our can see from this plain proposition, that the j Bank must fail instantly or borrow specie to save ' its instant failure, which embarrasses its future operations and only protracts its failure; so much for the Bank itself. .Much injustice is ooue (lie j community, whether the Bank fails or not, (hey | i are permitted, we said, to deal upon a capital, two j I thirds of which is fictitious, persons dealing with ! lhe Bank, pay them, an interest, rea , upon, a ! stuck only imaginary—the result may be, fairly, presented in this way—interest upon money is ! eight percent, but the Legislature permits certain i individuals, without individual respnsibility, to ! throw together a certain sum, upon which they are permitted to exact, twenty-four per cent, we speak i now, wi'h respect to business done upon notes a ! lone, not calculating lhe business (tone upon I drafts, chei ks, bills and other modes used in Banks. The glaring injustice of all this must be apparent to the, most humble conception and calls loudly tor redress. The late defalcation of the office at Greensboro’ : should have the effect of putting lhe holders of lhe I bills of all the Banks upon their guard, for in that Bank, the Bank of the State of Gumgia, we had more confidence than any other. Il will be per ceived that we have no reference, in what we here ' say. to lhe Central Bank, that institution is not placed upon the f'Kling of the other Banks,we wish the rest of the Banks o’ (la. were half as secure as this—we should hear of no more failures and this article would have been unnecessary. Below will he found a letter from Benjamin F. Currey to the Editors of the Federal Union, explanatory of lhe intimations given, some short time ago, in that paper, that some of the Georgia Kepresenfativ-s. in Congress, had an agency in breaking up lhe arrangements, then advancing, i for a treaiv with the Cherokees, Mr. Cmrey ac j quits Mr. Lamar of any participancy in this ioul business, this gives ns much satisfaction; but not ' so with Mr. Foster, he says Mr. Foster in his de nial, “goes too far" and leaves the impression i that Mr Foster is included in the imputations con ! lained in his first letter. Between these two per i sons there is an issue formed that is lull of inter ' est. 'The people have a right to know-, and will j know, all the particulars of this business. Ready j to cast censure w herever it belongs, we suspend fur ' titer rein irks uni d further informed, j A certain ex judge may now know that the an-} ihor of the letter io the Federal Union is r.ot so infamous as he at fust apprehended. Rrn (’lav, Ten. May 13. To the Editors of the Federal Union: Having been informed, that Col. 11. G. La- I m ir, in your piper of the I’,'tli April, and Col. • 'Th. Foster, in that of the 9th insl. have re plied to a letter from me, which was published in your paper of the 2Stli of March, in justice j to Mr. Lamar I would siy, that he was not in i tended to be included ant ing those ol the Georgia Delegation suspected of an interfer ; ence with Cherokee negotiations at \V ashing i ton. It wasonlv such members as were noisy I in their expiessions, that the bill recomntend- Icd by the President of the United States pro ; viding for lhe collection of lhe revenue, would i d(‘feat a Treaty, that were intended to be al htdtd (o. The conclusion was so far-fetched, 1 that I was irresistibly led to the b-diet, that these opinions were uttered for no other pur pose there, than to defeat a Treaty for the time being, in order to turn public indignation in Georgia against the friends ot the Union, and the supporters of that bill, tn South Car i ohtia and Georgia the idea ot Cherokee pre domitvanev under this bill bis beer, inculcated Iby the disuniontsts; and Mr. Ross’ reiteration thereof to the I ite council, as a reason for hol ding out longer, shows that lie has received bis cue. Col. Foster has, I understand, not only ( denied far himself, but for all lhe rest of the ) Georgia Delegation. Tn doing so, he has gone t I further than circumstances with which I am ac -11 quainted justify bint in going. Notwithstanding •j the supposed interference and the known effect J of such suggestions coming as they did first ' from the nulhfiers—-the prospect of an amica ! cable adjustment of the Cherokee question is more flattering at this time than at any former period. Should it be necessary, when I have an opportunity of seeing Col. Foster's com munication, 1 will reply at length and go into particulars. You wete right, upon Col. Foster’s application, ill giving up my name. Very respectfully, BENJ-F. CURREY. >’• FOBTaT To the Editor of New-Engl and Christian Herald. j sir—l send "tor the columns of your papera brief j tribute to the memory of Dr. Adam Clarke, one of the greatest men which our own age, or any other i age of the world, has produced. Respectfully, L. H StauuRNEY. J Hartford, February 1, 1833. On the death of Doctor Adam Clarke. Know ye a prince hath fallen? They who set i On gilded thrones witli rubied diadem, ! Caparison’d and guarded round till death ; Doth stretch them ’neath some gorgeous canopy,- Yet lea’ve no foot-prints in the realm of mind, j Call them not Aiings,—they are but ci owned men. Know ye a prince hath fallen?—Nature gave i The signet of her royalty,—and years j Os mighty labor won that sceptred power Os knowledge, which from unborn ages claims i Homage and empire, such as time’s keen tooth j May never waste. Yea—and the grace of God So w itness’d with his spirit, so imped’d To deeds of Christian love,—that there is rear’d A monument for him, which hath no dread Os that fierce flame which wrecks the solid earth. I see him ’mid the Shetlands spreading forth 'The riches of the Gospel,—kneeling down To light its lamp in every darken’d hut, Not in the armor of proud learning brac’d, But with a towel girded, as to wash The feet of those, whom haughty princes scorn. I see him lead the rugged Islander Even as a brother,—to the Lamb of God,— Counting his untaught sound more precious tar Than al! the letter’d world. ' 1 hear his eloquence,—but deeper still, 1 And far more eloquent, there comes a dirge O’er the wild wave,—“All that ye boast of man, Is as the flower of grass.” Farwell .’—Farwell ! Pass on with Wesley, and with all the great ■ And good ofevety nation,—yea!—pass on ; Where the cold name of sect, which sometimes throw’s i Unholy shadow o’er the heaven-warm’d breast, ' Doth melt to nothingness,—and every surge i Os warring doctrine, in whose eddying depths Earth’s charity was drown’d—is sweetly lost In the broad ocean of Eternal Love. From the Mississippi Journal. THE CHRISTIAN RUM-SELLER, IN HIS CLOSET. Or the triumph of Conscience. A Christian once retired to pray, And kneeling low, was wontto say: “Our Father, still in Heaven the same, All hallowed be thy glorious name.” When conscience, with a load oppressed, Our humble suppliant thus addressed: “To-day you’ve sold that rum for gain, That made our neighbor so profane, And now may be with poisonous breath Stillscattering arrow’s, fire and death." lie next proceeds, though almost dumb, And whispers out, “Thy kingdom come ’ But. adding still to his surprise, The moniter within replies ; “You still pursue your cursed craft, And vend the soul destroying draught, That greatly checks this kingdom fair; And fills the regions of despair.” lie ventures on once more and Said, “Give us this day our daily bread.’’ “What! while your premises retain, In pay for rum, the poor man’s grain! Ur in your drawer the price is laid, That should have brought his children bread?" Tims conscience rose to do his part, Directs the arrow to his heart, At length by keen conviction stung, With heavy heart and tattering tongue, He cries, “Forgive, and grant salvation, And keep us ever from temptation; Nor any longer will I lay, j Temptation in my neighbor’s way; What thus is earned, when understood, Is certainly the price of blood. I’d rather dig. or beg or serve, And if 1 must, I’d rather starve. O where shall end the frightful tale Conveyed by every flying mail, Os murder, misery and woe, That from the cursed traffic flow? I am resolved the unrighteous gain Shall nevermore my scoffers stain.” Then, in humility disposed, To bless assurance, sweetly closed; “The kingdom’s thine, and will retain. The glory, power, and praise, Amen." Then calmly rising from his knees, His heart approved and all is pleased. M. LA\V ! LAW ! LAW !
