------ sunset » 'Phe Personal Liberty bill, which isintend- ed to nullify the Fugitive Slave: Law, was passed by the House on the 17th inst. Tt provides that "No justice of the peace, sheriff, constable or jailor shall arrest or de- tain, or aid: in arresting or detaining, any person for the reason that he is detained as a fugitive slave, under the penalty of imprison- ment anda fine. Also, that the writ of habeas corpus may be issued by all courts of record, judges of probate, and, in some cases, Justice of the peace ; and, instead of the pro- ceedings authorized by the act of 1850, sub- stitutes a trial by jury, and that no confes- sions, admissions, or declarations of the al- leged fugitive against himself, shall be given _ in evidence, and that the jury shall have the right to return a general verdict. It also deprives any attorney of Massachusetts, who . shall act for a slave claimaint, of the right to practise in Massachusetts Courts of law." The bill then passed finally, yeas 229, nays 43. It had previously passed the Senate. . °Goy. Gardner votoed the Billas unconsti- _ tutional. Whereupon the Senate sanctioned "the Bill over the veto by a vote of 32 to.3, and the House by a vote of three to one. Ouio.--A public meeting relative to the late outragesin Kansas, was held in Cleveland, on the 12th. 'The resolutions were reported by Judge Spaulding, formerly of the Supreme Court. 'The following were the most impor- tant :-- : _. Resolved, That we feel constrained to admit that a crisis is rapidly approaching in the af- » fairs of. our country, when conduct will be more effiacious than speech, when daring deeds willtake the place of " vaunting words." But we venture to enunciate as the sense of this meeting, and as we believe the sense of a large majority of the voters of the State of Ohio, the following plain propositions: i. Slavery must be interdicted in Kansas and Nebraska. 2. _ No more slave territory shall be acquired. 3. No slave State shall henceforth be admitted into the National Confederacy. 4. The Fugi- tive Slave Law must be totally repealed. 5. Slavery must be abolished wherever it now exists by force or.sanction of Congressional law. 6. The "Free Soil" of our State must be made to possess the efficacy of striking the manacles from off the limbs of every human being who is so fortunate as to plant his foot thereon. | Resolved, That.we deprecate a dissolution of the Union if it can be preserved without doing despite to the Declaration of Independ- ence: but if we can.only perpetuate the Ameri- ~can Gonfederacy of States by perpetuating and perpetually extending the curse of negro slavery, and-by violating national compacts and the true principles of pupular sovereignty, then the Union will not be worth preserving. From the Cincinnati Gazette, May 22. Sudden Death ofa Slaveholder--Twenty- Nine Slaves Emancipated. . Over a year since, Mr. Elijah Willis, of Williston, Barnwell District, South Carolina: came to this city and executed, in the office of Joliffe & Gitchell, a will, bequeathing to his wife and her heirs and assignees all his property, real and personal, to the value of}. £150,000, consisting of two plantations played "by. the wholesale and retail liquor dealers, in despatching detijohns and myste- rious packages to all parts of the city i used in case of his sudden death, at the two of his neighbours his confidants, he deposited this inventory with them, to be same time making them pledge themselves not to make it public previously. He was largely engaged in the lumber business, and raised no crops except what were necessary. for the support of the twenty-nine full-grown slaves, and the numerous slave children that he owned. The lumber got out by the slaves was rafted down the Edisto river. In this business Mr. Willis had amassed a large estate. He was noted for the kindness with which he treated his slaves, who were never driven -with the whip, nor shut out by a lock from the stores of provisions. They ate, in the kitchen part, of the same food that Mr. Willis ate in the parlour. : A number of the relatives of Mr.: Willis, who are all.in comfortable circumstances, lived near him, but seldom visited his resi- dence. His housekeeper was a dark, but very shrewd mulatto woman, whom he purchased, with her mother, brother and sister, about thirteen years ago. This house- keeper's name was Mary Amy Elmore Turner. Her Father, who was owned by another master had deserted her mother, and for this was sold to a cotton planter in Alabama. = °° Amy, as the housekeeper was ordinarily called by Mr. Willis, while the slave of a former master, a Mr. Kirtland, had a colored usband, by whom she had three children before he went South. This woman, by her faithfulness and shrewdness, soon acquired great influence over Mr. Willis, by whom she had three children. She watchfully superintended his domestic affairs, attended to the wants of the slaves, and advised as to business. Mr. Willis, feeling concerned for the future welfare of his children, and urged thereto by Amy, at last determined to free her, her mother, her six children, her brother and her sister. When he came to Cincinnati, one year ago, and had his will written, it was to carry out this intent. After his return home, he arranged all his business as rapidly as possible, and, taking notes for outstanding debts due him, made preparations for disposing of his entire estate and moving to Ohio, where he proposed to locate on a farm, with Amy, her mother and the children. Finding that the expense of bringing Amy's brother and sister and their families would be con- siderable, and that there might be some difficulty in at once securing a home, Mr. Willis concluded, finally, to come North with Amy, her mother and the children, and having secured for them a residence, return to close up the business and bring the others. On last Tuesday week, they left home, as thus proposed. On reaching Louisville, they got on board the steamer Jacob Strader, and reached here at six o'clock on yester- day morning. Soon after the boat touched the wharf, Mr. Willis and his company went on shore, and he called a carriage, when, just as he went to reach one of the small children into it, he breathed heavily. Amy asked him if he had another attack of palpitation of the heart. He nodded aflirmatively, gave two or three heavy well stocked, and from forty to fifty negroes. breathings, and then fell dead, ~ Just at His wife, Mary Amy Turner, and. children, that moment, some one asked where six In number, are mulattoes, and were held they came from; Amy's mother did not by Willis as slaves. Mr. Willis agreed with Messrs. A. H. Ernst, Edward Harwood and John Joliffe, whom he made his executors, that they should be manumitted, and that the executors might dispose of the remain- der of the slaves, at his death, as they deemed best.. Mr Willis returned to his plantation. » Yesterday morning, he arrived from the South, on the Jacob Strader, with his wife, her mother and the six children. After securing a hack to convey the family up to the Dumas House, Mr. Willis, with a daughter held by each hand, approached the car- riage and was in the act of stepping in, when he was seized witha palpitation of the heart, to which he was subject, and, falling backwards, expired in about five minutes. Coroner Menzies held an inquest over the body, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Mr. Willis was about 60 years of age, a very respectable old gentleman, and has been married to Mary Amy about thirteen years, and always manifested towards. her and the children a warm affection. He has been in bad health several years, and his relatives, who reside in the Barnwell District, have frequently importuned him |to give up his business and travel 'with 'his family. He left home about four weeks ago, not, as they supposed, to make said trip, but to come to this 'State, free his family from slavery, and provide them with comfortable houses on free soil. Having done this, it was his. intention to return to South;Carolina, settle up his affairs, and live the remainder of his life free from all care and anxiety. Bad health for several years was an additional inducement for him to pursue this course. | ~The remains of Mr. Willis accompaingd by the family, were taken to the Dumas House. Thefamily appears to be deeply afflicted by Mr. Willis's sudden death. They are kindly cared for. His last will is in the possession of Flamen Ball, Esq,, counsel for the wife of Willis, who will attend to her business, and see that she obtains that bequeathed to her. The fun - ral of Mr. Willis will take place to-day. | Those who affect to believe that the abolition of slavery would lead to universal amalgamation at the North will please make a note of the above case. . From the Cincinnati Columbian, May 22. | On the 23rd of February, 1854, a fine- looking, corpulent gentleman, apparently about 60 years ofage, came to this city in search of Dr. Brisbane, from whom he wished. advice as to the proper course! to pursue to effectuate the manumission of a numberof his slaves. Not readily finding Dr. Brisbane, he obtained the advice of John Joliffe, Esq., and had duplicate wills drawn up. One of these he took with him, and the other he deposited with Mr, Joliffe, to be used if he should die suddenly, and the will in his possession he accidentally or purposely destroyed. He stated that one of his brothers had. died, very suddenly, and that he himself, being subjeet_to palpitation of the heart, was liable to be summoned to another world at a moment's notice. Elijah Willis--that was his name--staid only a few days in Cincinnati, but his bright benevolent countenance and manly frank- ness were not soon forgotten by those whom oe had thrown into contact with im, oo . ; Returning home, he drew up a complete Javentory of all his property, and, making answer, and was threatened with being kick- ed into the river. Some one urged Amy to go-on board the boat again, and she re- fused. By the advice of a friend, she at once secured the money (about $350) in Mr. W.'s possession, notes and due-bills amounting to three or four thousand dol- lars, a gold watch and other valuables. She was taken, with the trunks and the body of Mr. Willis, to the Dumas House. Dr. Menzies being called in, held an in- quest, when a verdict was returned in ac- cordance with these facts. Mr Ball, of the legal firm of Chase & Ball, being called in, the will of Mr, Willis found on him was opened and read, when it was found that he had willed his entire estate to Amy and her children, and had appointed John Joliffe, A. H. Ernst and | Edward Harwood as executors. This will is a duplicate of that left in the care of Mr. Joliffe, which has not yet been opened. If the property is obtained, each of these co- lored children will have a fortune of twenty- five or thirty thousand dollars. The body of Mr. Willis will be buried to-day. - The executors. of the will are all residents of this city. Provincial. BILLS.

Each person sending $200 before the 5th of July, will, in addition to commissions, be Presented with a Silver Watch, valued at $25.

The person who shall send, before the 5th of July, the largest amount above $500, will, in ad- dition to commissions, be Presented with a Piano, valued at $200. I have been induced to make the above liberal offers in order to remove a settled objection in the minds of your committee, to having the distribu- tion take place while there remain in my hands tickets unsold, and for which cause they seem fit to defer the partition of the gifts, which was fixed for the 27th inst., to the 5th of July, as will be seen by reference to their proceedings, published below. I assure you that the postponement is as vexatious tome as itis to those who have pur- chased tickets. I therefore hope that each and every one now interested, will co-operate with me in the effort to dispose of the few thousand tickets remaining unsold, and thus advance the interests of the whole body of shareholders. Respectfully yours, J. PERHAM. TO THE PATRONS OF Perham's Third Gift Enterprise. At a meeting of the Committee of Shareholders of Perham's Gift Enterprise, held at the Academy Hall, Broadway, on Wednesday Evening, April 18th, 1855, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted and ordered to be printed :--- Whereas, in view of the fact that several enter- prises have been started and carried on with a seeming positive purpose of defrauding those who could be persuaded to purchase tickets therein ; and such fraudulent proceedings have exerted an deemed essential that all the tickets should be ao Sua of before the distribution takes place, be it therefore . Resolved, That in order to allow time for that purpose, the distribution be postponed until the Sth of July, at such place as may hereafter be determined on.

Mr. Perham, ever anxious to meet the views of his patrons, offers extraordinary inducements to Agents toengagein the sale of the remaining tickets, so that there may be no mere delays, which are unquestionably as vexatiovs tohim as to those who have purchased tickets in his en- terprise. We commend the reading of his adver- tisement to our. patrons, and hope that each and all will lend a helping hand to bring the matter to an early and satisfactory éonsummation. V. B.

St. Catharines, May 26th, 1855. 12vii Exhibitions and Lectures. HE Undersigned proposes exhibiting the Diorama of Uncle Tom's Cabin, in the principal Cities, Towns, and Villages in the Northern States and Canada: and to accom- pany them with abundant evidence as to the truth- fulness of the facts assumed by the author, in the work known by that name, which will include the recital of some most mysterious and _ thrilling incidents in the history of his own family. The flight ef his parents tor freedom--their capture, and return to slavery and their second flight; a history of their lost boys, who were stolen and sold into slavery--the death of one of them, and the redemption of the other by the purchae of himself ; and the final purchase for the enormous sum ot five thousand dollars. The paintings, comprising the scenes of " Un- cle Tom's Cabin," are the production of an emi- nent French artist, and show as large as life, and represent the most prominent scenes and charac- ters in the work. In order to render our labors more effectual and create more general interest and benefit, we propose the following arrangements, viz:--To give one half of the receipts to any. Church or Society, or regularly appointed committee by the puplic, who will provide a place, secure an audience, and defray the expenses incident to the meeting. oy An arrangement by which every Church or Society in the country may replenish their funds, aid their pastors, or whatever other benevolent object that commends itself to public patro- nage. Tet such then who would help the cause, help themselves, and help us in our feeble endeavours to enlist the public ear to the cries of bleeding humanity; go at once to work, communicate im- mediately with us preparatory to an exhibition. We shall not however confine ourselves to that deplorable and humiliating aspect of the co- lored man's case, repesented in that work. But we promise at no distant date, a new pro- gramme of very different scenes, representing not only an entirely original, but a far more hopeful aspect of the black man, than has ever been pre- sented to the American public. It is neither egotism, nor. yet flattery, in us to say that this mode of giving instruction pos- sesses the double merit of engaging those two most important faculties taat man possesses-- the mind and the sight at the same time, and making an ineffacable impression. Itis not as being necessarily dependent and degraded, then that, we shall confine our exhibitions of his character. : There have been places where, and times when the black man of modern times has proven him- self the patriot, the statesman, and the warrior. As such, then, let him be known to the world, that it may acknowledge it, and to our youth, that they may imitate their example and copy their virtues. We suffer more perhaps, from false represen- tation, than all other ills put together. Those amongst us who have acted the part of patriot are represented to be vicious and ungov- ernable: and those whom the most direful and crushing prejudices have debarred from the op- portunities for higher development are represent- ed as submissive willing underlings. Generation after generation are stamped with the same false impressions, and learn to assume it on the one hand, and regard it as a fixed inevitable fact on the other. We are arranging a new anda very extensive programme of Distinguished Colored Men and the incidents with which they have been connect- ed and acquitted themselves honorably--such as Arricus, "the first martyr of the Revolution," the "Colored Regiments at the Battle of New Orleans," and the distinguished and most promi- nent " black leaders" who freed the first spot dis- covered by Columbus, that was first desecrated to 'slavery--Hispanola--now Hayti. I have endeavored to make the arrangements sufficiently liberal to meet the patronage and en- gage the attention of all who have an interest in our common cause. : For further important particulars, you will write me, (post paid, lee LoN: STILL: injurious influence in the sale of tickets in the Rondeau Railway Company. enterprise of Mr, Perham; and whereas, it is 11 Brooklyn, LI. 3 Splendid Carriages, $225 each, "- 675 | 10 Gold Watches, $100 each, - 1,000 40 do. do. qi HO0. cathe. - .. 2,000 100 Gold Pens and Gases, $5 each, 500 5,000.
