CHARLES J. JENKINS, JOHN P. KINO, ALEXANDER C. WALKED, * A Mfonarcliy. Ws regret to see the idea gaining ground that the only hope for order and good government, in ouee of a dissolution of the Union, will be in a return to monarchical institutions. It is evident that the destruction of the Union would do much to convince the world that republican institutions are impracticable, and that man’s experiment cf self-government has failed, not to bo renewed for all time to come, but our people, bred in de testation of the very name of royally, will not submit to retrograde nearly a century, without a struggle. It may happen that for the preserva tion of our rights of person and property, we may have to choose between a military despotism like that of France, or a limited monarchy like that of England, but we hope that the moderation and good sense of our people will obviate the necessi ty for the choico. We therefore regret to see such councils as the following, from an eminent states man of Kentucky, promulgated in the Louisville Journal : I confess I can see no well grounded hope of maintaining the Union under our Constitution, alter reading tho message, and taking that in connection with the vitiated condition of the Southern mind. . The next step in my judgment that should he taken, uud taken promptly, as the only one to ward off a reign of terror, anarchy, and finally an iron despotism, would be for the Southern States or the seceding Southern States, to throw down State constitu ions and obliterate State lines, and to form a limited monarchy. That would check up now the downward progress and secure civil liberty for a long time, but tho people in the liceutiousuess of their liberty would uot listen to such a proposal with composure, aud I can see no termination of the present troubles but an iron despotism, after all imaginable ills, through which wo will have to pass to reach even that harbor of safety. No Navy. It is continually thrown in our teeth by the North ern Press iu their arguments against a Southern Confederacy, that the South has no navy —not a sailor or a ship-of-war. Granted, hut has the JSortb any? The navy belongs as much to the South as the North—neither can c aim for it ex clusive ownership, aud it is partly to retaiu our sharo in it, as well as in other public property, that we desire the co-opcration of the whole South —the formation of a Confederacy that could have the power to demand and obtain that justice in the division of the assets of the defunct Union which would most certainly not he granted to a 6'inglo State setting up for herself. The Secession Conve ition at Charleston have passed an Ordinance making tho Constitution of the United States the basis of any Constitution that may be adopted by the Southern Confedera cy. When the most ultra secessiouists are con tent with tho present Constitution, and no other party demauds anything hut its strict construc tion and enforcement, it is useless for any man or set of men to attempt to assuage the present com motion by amendments to that instrument. No body asks for them—nobody will be satisfied with them, and the politicians who propose them may as well save their breath for a more promising buncombe. bhi>atclice, arc. We mey expect, uutil our election is over, a bountiful supply of telegraphic dispatches from Washington aud sensation news from other quar ters. The action of Georgia is looked upoa with morn interest tuu r,f any other State, shthtvs beeu conservative —she has always ■ I.ved up to’ her motto—“ Wisdom, Justice and Moderation”—aud the greatest efforts will be made to turn her from her ancient and steady path. Let the voters of Georgia place but little reliauce upon news, bueny disseminated on the eve of olsctioD. _ Letter from ttev. W. T. Brantley. By permission, we publish au extract from a letter to a friend by Rev. W. T. Brantley, who is toe well known in Georgia to require aDy guar a ty for ability and truth. It will be seen that Lis views on Lincoln’s election stroDgly corrobo. rate those expressed in the first number of ‘‘Pinckney,” a correspondent of the Constitution’ alisi: Philadelphia, Dec. 2d, 1680. You know that my profession ket ps me aloof from ordinary political excitements, but the emer gencies of the tunes compel men iu every position to give utterance to their honest convictions. I need not tell you how strongly I sympathize with yon in the grievances of which you justly com plain, and for which you arc seeking redress. A native of the South, my early childhood aud much of my manhood passed in Georgia, receiving at the hands of her people uniform kindness through a series of years, my wife and childreu born on y u ur soil, many of my kindred and connexions yet residing there—though providentially at the present time a resident of Pennsylvania—f cannot hut be deeply moved by whatever gives you trouble. Iu tne recent cauvass which has termi nated so unhappily, my position precluded me from taking any active part. All I did was to ex press the apprehensiou in a private way that the election of Lincoln would destroy tl*e Confeder acy. And when I was about to go to the polls, I said to one of the electors, who was of my way ol thinking, that 1 desired to make as strong an anti- Lincoln mark as possible. He gave me the ticket which in his judgmei;- uid this most effectively, and I voted it. Til • * _ ‘ _ ...ill, nmi il. tV> r. aim I The opinion is current with you that the sup porters of Lincoln in the North are irreconcilea blv hostile to your institutions ; ami that the re cent election iuTift be taken us a guaranty of fur ther infringements upon your rights until these have been utterly overthrown. If this opiuion were just, the law of self-pn'servatiou would com pel you to break off, even in violence and blood if it must be, all political connexion with a people who are seeking to stab your vital interests. In such a case, it would be certaiu destruction to re main in the Union —it could be no more out of it, and it might be comparative safety. But the opinion in question does great injustice to multi tudes here, even of those who voted for Liucolu. I will not speak for other States; but iu Pennsyl vania, where the President elect received (I regret to say) a lar. er majority than in auy other North ern Stute, I have the best reason tor knowing that the masses are overwhelmingly in favor of doing full justice to the South. Were the questiou sub united to the people of this State to-day, Are you in favor of allowing slaveholders equal rights with yourselves in the territories? —I believe that they would answer affirmatively by a majority of one hundred thousand. If, then, you ask how it cauie to pass that Lincoln received so large a majority, I answer, it was not opjjpsitiou to the South, but opposition to the Administration. They feel here towards Mr. Buchanan just as your own Chronicle <6 Sentinel feels when, a few days ayo, it express ed the t ope that Mr. Buchanan would resign. 1 have been reading newspapers ol all sorts, con verging with intelligent men, and personally ob sen mg the movements of the day in Pennsylva nia for four years; and if I were to classify the elements which united in the support of the sec tional candid. te, I would say that four-sevenths of those who sustained him acted from hatred to what they call Democratic misrule ; two-sevenths voted lor Liucolu because they believed that the great industrial interests would be most etliciently protected under bis administration; the remain ing seventh voted tor him on anti slavery grounds. ’ Much has beeu said about the “ Personal Liberty bills” of this State. Whatever laws may be on the statute book, l know that Pennsylvania offers no practical obstruction to the complete execution of the fugitive slave law. Repeatedly since rny residence in this city, have slaves been returned to tueir claimants. On one occasion when a mob of negroes attempted a rescue, they were beaten off by order of our Mayor—a man who was elect ed to his office by the same party who have just voted for Lincoln. Some ol the best friends of the South who have investigated the matter tell me that there are no laws of the State which at all conflict with full justice to the South iu this respect. If there be any real grouud of complaiut, I have no doubt that the Legislature, about to convene, will, on the discovery of the fact, erase the offensive provision from their books. When Oov. Packer rebuked the John Brown sympathi zers in a letter which has been published in your papers, he expressed sentiments in which the State concurred almost unanimously. If the South had united on John Bell, he would have re ceived the support of this Slate, and would to-day have beeu the President elect. They rallied around JLinco u, not because he was an Abolition ist, but because he was, in their judgment, the only canditat4 who oould overthrow the Democracy. The Hoo. Howell Gobb has truly said, that oppo sition to slavery is the principle which binds to oetbar the reuslhuit elements of the dominant 1 a th e ‘iortherh States. But the tire which is but * small part of that wheel, — y"—* 1 gr — : aud when broken, the wheel falls to pieces. The slavery skKfisot, though holding together the Lin coln party, is od)j the tire. Drive out of your federal polities this vexed subject as you may—as you mhajt if y oq,,would have peace—and the whole party is dismembered and destroyed. 8b odious was the name Republican in this State, that the called iD other States were here gener jftdly known as the “ People’s. Party,” and it was under this title that the triumph was won. I am not of those who believe that the South should submit uncomplainingly to what has just transpired. I betieve that she"should insist upon a redress for her grievances. But the remedy is notin sunderiue ligaments which iay result in horrors of which I shudder to think. You have millions of true friends in the North, aud when the opportunity is afforded they will demonstrate the fact. That there are people here who hate you with a bitter hatred, is not denied; hut these are au iusignificant company compared with those who are prepared to protect all your rights. If at your approaching Convention you state any reasonable conditions on which you will consent to remain in the Union, I have no doubt that what is asked can be secured. Your proposals, if refused, would give you a union at home which you do not now possess, and would greatly increase the number of persons here who would justify you in such measures of redress as may be deemed essential to your safety. But I must not tax your patience longer. Ex cuse this hasty, and rambling letter. It comes from a heart which loves the South and loves the Union which lias been confessedly to all of us the source of great good. In the Union Georgia has become a powerful commonwealth. Her success is no longer an experiment. Is it certain that she will do better to withdraw ? May a merciful God preside over your deliberations, and conduct you to wise conclusions, is the prayer of Your friend, W. T. Bbantley. For the Chronicle Sentinel. Will not Submit to llie Action of tlic Convention. Mr. Editor :—There are men of the separate State action or immediate secession party, that openly say they will not abide the action of the Convention to meet at Milledgeville the 10th ot January next, unless that Convention’s action endorses their policy of going out. of the Uuion at once. They openly say they will rebel against that Convention, and the decis on of the sovereign people of Georgia in Convention assembled, un less it head to the dictates of the immediate se cession party. Is not that a nice idea ? The Deople should know the game to be played. The players are desperate driven men. What, not obey the sovereign will of the people ! The peo ple are the sovereigns in this country. We have no titled nobility yet —no my Lords yet. We may have them. * I think it quite likely there are some who would like to be called my Lord so and so. Those who think the English government the best in the world, may have hankering after no oility, and would like an aristftcracy established in this laud of freemen after the style and fashion of the English nobility. All who declare self-government a failure must be in favor of a monarchy, or despotism, or king dom. There is no escape from that conclusion. Do the people of Georgia believe their govern uient made by their fathers, a failure? it is no failure! Demagogues have well nigh ruined it. The people have been led and decieved by them. This state ot thiugs is not the choosing of the people. Politicians have brought it all about Men desperate in political fortunes and who shrink from au exposure of their had acts, have precipitated tRe distress and confusion that exists upon the people. The idea that self-government is failure is ridiculous. The failure of self-gov ernment is sought to be fastened upon the minds of the people, that it may he the way through which those who precipitate the Stute into revo lution may escape the just vengance of an indig nant and ruined people. They seek to familiarze the public mind that self-government is a failure. When that is done, the next step will be a glow ing description of the English Government, or some other form of Government, opposed to the people governing themselves. I would trust no man who says self government is a failure. The people of the “cross-roads and groceries” should see to it that these gentlemen are left in private life. They go over the State telling the people that Georgia must assert her independence. When was Georgia ever depen dent iu this Uuion ? When was it Georgia was iii/, independent in this confederation of States? Some of these immediate secessionists say they look upon every mau who does not, favor their break up destructive policy as an enemy to the South, and that they go in” for putting all to the sword who are not* with them in their ruinous design. What a thought! How infamous and cowardly the thr eat! The honest, cool aud relia ble planter of the country is our only hope in this crisis. The time has arrived for the planters as welt as our coolest-headed Statesmen to act, control, guide and direct the destiny of Georgia. Earl. n. H. Hill’* Letter ol Acceptance. The county convention of Troup county was held on Saturday last., and uoiuinated to the State Convention Hon. B. H. Hill, Dr. W. P. Beasley aud Col. James M. Beall. We subjoin Mr. Hill’s ii;Ui ” :>a ' lUlUt Ga., Gentlemen : Your letter, informing me that I have been unanimously nominated as a delegate to the approaching Convention, has been receiv ed. I accept the nomination, because I do not think such a position ought now to be sought or decliued. Y’ou ask for my particular views on pending issues. These I have hitherto fully given. 1 see no reason to change or modify the views express ed to the people of Troup county on the kittli day of November last. A more important crisis was never upon any people. We of the Boutb can bring this crisis to au end,j’ st as we wish; and we cau reach that end iu blood or peace, as our passions or our pru dence may direct. Come what may, we should never be content with any patchwork. Slavery must never again be the hobby of the political demagogue. T greatly deplore so much leeling aud impatience with so many of our people. We need ali the wisdom and cool firmness of all our people. We are iu danger now from nothing but ourselves. No man is a fit counsellor now who assumes that slavery can be abolished by any party or any power. This is a concession to the efforts uud dreams of fanaticism without any foundation in fact. Os all people iu this nation, the slave is this day far the happiest; uud of all property, slavey is by far the safest. The Union, the Con stitution, good government and the peace of the country, are in danger from the passions, the fa naticisms, and ambition of the white race only. But whatever may be the cause, a crisis is upon us, and we must meet it. It is au hour when every man should he all prudence and firmness, without petulance or rash ness in word or action. Every Southern man should remember that every other Southern man is as much interested as himself; aud every Southern State should remember that every other Southern State must be, more or less, involved by her action. Each is, therefore, bound by every consideration of ordinary respect and good feel ing to offer a consultation and an interchange ol views before final action. Has South Carolina done this ? Does her hasty action become the dignity of the occasion and the importance of the issue? Rather, has she not acted with abrupt discourtesy to the claims, wishes and movements of her sister slaveholdiug States? I trust she will yet be more deliberate, a i.l communicative than her proceedings would al first view indicate. South Carolina is not acting towards her sister States iu 18(30, as she did act towards her sister colonies iu 1770. Perhaps her people are more chivalrous and patriotic ! Jin the name of Calhoun, South Carolina is doing what Calhoun, to the day of his death, never in tended, desired or counselled. It may be, her present statesmen are wiser, and understood Calhoun better than Calhoun under stood himself ! She, doubtless, expects the sym pathy and assistance ot her sister Southern States; and these States, equally, expected from her con sultation, and, at least, advisory co-operation. 77icyhave been disappointed ; she may not be. At auy rate, I hope Georgia, iu her own sensible way of doing things, will return good for evil, and act in no spirit of retaliatory petulance. At the same time, Georgia will not be dragooned by either friends or foes. Georgia will prefer discre- haste, anil wisdom to impetuosity. I be lieve she will be courteous to all her sister States of the South, aud seek to combine the wisdom of at least as many as will act with her. She will not be coerced to stay in the Union, nor to be hurried out before the proper time. There are numberless rumors und telegraphic reports flooding the country. We know not how much to believe. Our people must be self-pos sessed and deliberate, or they will be misled.— One truth is established : there are too many demagogues and too few statesmen at Washing ton. By the papers of this morning lam con jinned in what I have before suspected : that cer tain great men, so called, are playing tr-ichs in this awful crisis, to excite the people ! Oh, my country ! The dissolution of this Uuion may be a neces sity. If so, after being fully satisfied of that fact, let us decree that dissolution. But I must be al lowed to say that I cannot regard such an event us an occasion for rejoicing. The sum of Nero’s i igiatitute is recorded in the fact that he “fiddled while Rome was burning.” I do not liken our people to Nero. Far from it. But is it not strange that we should fire cauuons, illumine cities, raise bonfires, and make noisy the still hours of night with shouts, over the destruction of a government infinitely greater than Rome ever was ! Unless our grievances are fully repressed, and we cau have satislactory guarantees that they will not be repeated, I will aid iu the necessity of disunion. But I shall dissolve this Union as I would bury a benefactor—in sorrow of heart.— For, after all, the Union is not the author of our grievances. men, in both sections, insult each other and then both fight the Union which never harmed or insulted either 1 Perhaps it has blessed all above their merits. For my self, I shall never ask for more true liberty and reabhappiness under any government than I have enjoyed as a citizen of this great American Union. May they who would destroy this Union in a frolic, have wisdom to furnish to our children a better. Yours, very truly, B. H. Hill. To Messrs. C. D. Pullen, W. C. Darden and Thos. Leslie, Committee. ———— A dispatch from Springfield, Illinois, says it is certain that Mr. Wilmot will represent the Re publican Banner State in the Cabinet, but no defi nite position is as yet assigned to him. Penod&l Liberty Acts. The National Intelligencer publishes the fol lowing abstracts of the “Personal Liberty Acts” of the Northern States: % MAINE. The laws of this State provide that no sheriff, deputy sheriff, coroner, constable, jailor, justice of the-peace, or other officer of the State shall arrest or detain, or aid in so doing, in any prison or building belonging to this State, or to any county or town, any person on account ot a claim on him as a fugitive slave, under a penalty not ex ceeding one thousand dollars, ana mates it the duty of all county attorneys to repair to the place where such person is held in custody, and render him all necessary aud legal assistance in making his defence against said claim. V KKW HAMPSHIRE. The law of the State declares that slaves, com ing or brought into the State, by or with the con sent of the master, shall be free; declares the at tempt to hold any person as a slave within the State a felony, with a penalty of imprisonment uot less than one nor more than five years; pro vided, that the provisions of this section shall not apply to any act lawfully done by any officer of the United States, or other person, m the execu tion of any legal process. VERMONT. This State, by her several acts of 1843, 1850, and 1858, provides that no court, justice of peace, or magistrate shall take cognizance of any certificate, warrants, or process under the fugitive slave law ; provides that no officer, or citizeu of the State, shall arrest, or aid, or assist in arresting, any per son for the reason thut he is claimed as a fugitive slave ; provides that no officer or citizen shall aid or assist in the removal from the State of any person claimed as a fugitive slave ; provides a penalty of SI,OOO, or imprisonment five years in State prison, for violating this act. This act, however, shall not be construed to extend to any citizen of the State acting as a Judge of the Cir cuit or District Court of the United States, or as Marshal or Deputy Marshal of the District of Ver mont, or to any persou acting under tho command or authority of said courts or Marshal. Requires the State’s attorneys to act as counsel for alleged fugitives; provides for issuing haoeascorpus, and the trial by jury of all questions of fact in issue between tl e parties, and ordains that every per sou who may have been held as a slave, who shall come, or be brought, or be in this State, with or without the consent of his or her master or mistress, or who shall come, or he brought, or be involun tarily, or in any way, iu this State, shall he free. It is also provided that every person who shall hold, or attempt to hold, in this State, in slavery, or as a slave, any persou mentioned as a slave in the section of this act relating to fugitive slaves, or any free person, in any form, or for auy time, however short, under the pretence that such per son is or has been a slave, shall, on conviction thereof, be imprisoned in the State prison for a term not less than one year nor more than fifteen years, and be fined not exceeding two thousand dollars. MCSSAOHOSETTS. The first of the laws known as “personal liberty acts’ in Massachusetts was passed in 1843, no less than seventeen years ago. It is based upon the famous decision of the Supreme Court of the United States iu the ease of Prigg vs. the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania, pronounced in 1842 by Judge Story. By this decision it was de clared that the rendition of fugitives falls exclu sively within the functions of the Federal Gov ernment, and that no State law can interfere with or prohibit the execution of the Federal law for the purpose. Statutes in conformity with this ruling were passed by the Legislature of Massa chusetts in 1843. In the year 1855 the provisions of this earlier legislation we’ e applied to the Uni ted States fugitive slave law of 1850; the wiit of habeas corpus was extended to the cases of per sons detained as fugitive slaves ; a trial by jury was placed at their command; the onus probandi is laid on the claimant, who must bring two cre dible witnesses to substantiate his claim ; persons holding any place of honor or emolument under the Commonwealth are forbidden to issue any warrant or other process under the United States fugitive slave act; jails of the State not to be used for the detention of fugitive slaves; commission ers to he appointed iu every county to defend the cause of alleged fugitive slaves, Ac. In the year 1858 judges of the State were forbidden to issue auy writ under the United States fugitive slave law of 1850. The Boston Daily Advertiser of the 7th inst., remarks as follows on the subsequent disposition that was made of these several acts : “Finally, in 1851), when the w'hole body of our statutes was revised and codified, all three of these acts, those of 1843, 1855, and 1858, Were ex pressly repealed, their substtance being incorporated in the new text. The duty of making this codifi cation was entrusted iu the first place to Com missioners appointed by Gov. Gardner, (the same who vetoed the personal liberty act of 1855,) and their work was afterwards examined by a large joint committee, composed of leading members of the two House of the Legislature. It happened somewhat singularly that, although the Republi cans were the dominant party, politically, in both Houses, by far the ablest lawyers in each House were Democrats of the slraitest sect, to-wit: Hon. Caleb Cushing in the House of Representatives, aud Hon. Benjamin F. Butlvr. i laid Hreckjftfajbffi these gentlemen were members of the committee to which we have alluded ; but neither iu com mittee, nor afterwards in the Senate or House, did either of them, or any other member, propose to omit from that revision any portion of the per sonal liberty acts, or suggest that they were un constitutional. They remain, therefore, substan tially as before, now comprised in chapter 144 of the General Statutes. Any Southern Governor who docs not wish to copy the mistaken refer ences of the late Executive message of Goorgia will find the new volume of ‘General Statutes, Massachusetts, 1860,’ in the library of his State; and any one else who desires to make an exact reference may purchase a copy of the volume, for no higher price than a dollar and forty cents, of Messrs. VY r right & Rotter, State printers, cor ner of Spring lane, and Devonshire street, Bos ton.” CONNECTICUT. The State of Connecticut provides that every person who shall falsely and maliciously declare, represent, or pretend that any free person entitled to freedom is a slave, or owes service or labor to any person or persons, with intent to procure or to aid or assist in procuring the forcible removal of such free person from this Stute as a slave, shall be fined £5,000 and be imprisoned five years iu the Connecticut State prison ; requires two witnesses to prove that any person is a slave or owes labor ; denounces a penalty of $5,000 against any person seizing or causing’ to be seized any free person with iutent to reduce him to slavery ; depositions not to be admitted as evidence ; wit nesses testifying falsely liable to $5,000 fine and five yeurs imprisonment. RRODB ISLAND. This State by her legislation forbids the carry ing away of any person by force out of the State ; forbids any judge, justice, magistrate, or court, from officially aiding in the arrest of a fugitive slave under the fugitive slave law of 1793 or 1850; forbids any sheriff’ or other officer from arresting or detaining any person claimed as a fugitive slave ; provides a penalty of SSOO, or imprison ment not exceeding six months, for violating the act; denies the use of her jails to the United Statoa for the detention of fugitive slaves. * NEW YORK. The State of New York has passed no laws hav ing relation to the United States fugitive slave act of 1850. Though pressed frequently upon the Legislature, they have always failed of adoption. The old and obsolete act of 1840, entitled “An act to extend the right of trial by jury,” extends the trial by jury to the cases of persons arrested as fugitive slaves; but in the fourth edition of the laws f the State, as prepared and published bv Lun. Hiram Douio, at present Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals, may be found appended to the chapter containing this law tho following note : “An Act to Extend the Right of Trial by Jury, passed May tith, 1840.—The decision of the Su preme Court of the United States, iu Prigg vs. the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 18 Peters’ R. 68l), establishes the doctrine that all St te laws calculated to interfere with the third subdivision of section 2, article 4, of the Constitution of the United States are unconstitutional. Since that decision the fugitive slave law (Laws of Congress, 1850, chap. 80) has been passed, containing pro visions repugnant to the whole of this act. It is therefore of no force; but, as it has never been repealed, it is here inserted.” NEW JERSEY.’ The State of New Jersey has no statutes bear ing on this subject save those which enjoin on her State officers the duty of aiding in the recovery of fugitive slaves. Persons temporarily residing in the State are also permitted to bring with them and retain thefr domestic slaves. PENNSYLVANIA. The State of Pennsylvania has not formally and specially legislated at all against the United States fugitive slave law of 1850, though there was an old statute of 1847 which prohibited any judge, justice of the peace, or alderman from taking cog nizance of the case of any fugitive from Tabor, “under a certain act of Congress passed on the 12th of February, 1703.” During the last session of her Legislature, the Commissioners appointed to revise and amend the penal laws of Pennsylva nia (John C. Knox, Edward King and David Web ster) made a report to the Legislature that they had completed their labors, and the result was presented in the shape of a bill entitled “An act to consolidate, revise and amend the Penal Laws of the Commonwealth.” That report, on the 31st day of March, 1860, was enacted into a law, and by’ the ninety-fifth sectiou it is enacted as fol lows : “No Judge of any of the Courts of this Com monwealth, nor any Alderman or Justice of the Peace of said Commouwealth, shall have jurisdic tion or take cognizance of the case of any fugitive from labor from an}’ of the United States or Ter ritories under any act of Congress, nor shall any such Judge, Alderman, or Justice of the Peace of this Commonwealth issue or grant any certificate or warrant of removal of any such fugitive from labor, under any act of Congress; and if any Al derman or Justice of the Peace of this Common wealth shall take cognizance or jurisdiction of the case of any such fugitive, or shall grant or issue any certificate or warrant of removal, as aforesaid, then, and in either case, he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor iu office, and shall, on convic tiod thereof, be sentenced to pay, at the discre tion of the Court, any sum not exceeding one thousand dollars, the one-half to the party prose cuting for the same, and the other half to the use of this Cotnmonweftlth.” The theory of this law, it will be seen, is found ed strictly on the decision ol the Supreme Court of the United States in ‘the Prigg case, and does not interfere with the functions of the Commis sionei appointed under the United States law. MICHIGAN. The law of this State requires State’s attorneys to act as counsel for fugitive slaves; secures to persons arrested as fugitive slaves the benefits of the writ of habeas corpus, and trial by jury; denies use of State jails for detention of alleged fugitives; requires that identity of fugitive slaves shall be proved by two credible witnesses, or by legal evidence equivalent thereto, and provides a fine of not less than five hundred nor more than one thousand dollars, and imprisonment in State prison for five years, for forcibly seizing, or caus ing to be seized, any free person, with intent to have such person held in slavery. IOWA. This State has no legislation on the subject. WISCONSIN. •PThe law of this State enjoins on the district at torneys the duty of acting as counsel for alleged fugitive slaves ; secures to such persons the bene fits of the writ of habeas corpus; provides for appeal to be taken to next stated term of the Circuit Court; secures trial by jury; enjoins a penalty of one thousand dollars and imprison ment of not more than five nor less than one year on all who “ falsely and maliciously represent any free person to be a slave ;” identity of alleged fu gitive slave to be proved by two credible witness es : no deposition to be received in evidence. It is also provided that — No judgment recovered against any person or persons for any neglect or refusal to obey, or any violation of, the act of Congress commonly term ed the “Fugitive Slave Act/’ approved September 18th, 1850, or any of the provisions thereof, shall be a lien on any real estate within this State, nor shall any such judgment be enforceable by sale or execution of any real or personal property with in this State ; but all such sales shall be absolute ly void : and in case of seizure or sale of any such personal property, by virtue of any execution is sued on such judgment, the defendant in said ex ecution may maintain an action iu replevin, or other action” to secure possession thereof, in the manner provided by law for such actions, on affi davit filed as required by law, and a further state ment therein .that said execution is issued in a judgment rendered under the provisions of the act of Congress aforesaid ; and the provisions of this section shall also apply to judgments hereto tofore rendered.” OHIO, INDIANA,ILLINOIS, MINNESOTA, CALIPORNA AND OREGON. We cannot find that these States have any laws in force on tho subject.

Tlds happy mingling exists iu that “ Combination and a form Indeed” of medicine known as i dk. wistar’s balsam of wild cherry, whose value In curing Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, Croup, Aithma, Pulmonary Afiection, and Incipient Consumption, is inestimable.
