Boreren, notwithstanding his outre appearance, which we wisli he 'night shave of, has given us Some really splen- did specimens of eloquence. Would that his gifted mind might exert its powers in support' of evangelical truth. Freoggren Douerass is a man of extraordinary en- dowment and the history of the' world presents but few mstances of aman pushiny him-elf up as he has done from the eondi- tion of a slave, to the hioh position he now occupies. 'The lie, which denies Superiority and eminence to the negro, finds in Dovarass a denial larger even than its own gigantic proportions. Henry Bier too, is present, another noble specimen, not of the black race merely, but 'of manhood ; when he announced himsulf a fugitive slave and liable to seizure under the law, we cannot but think that one feel- ing of shame and indignation prevaded the assembly. We speak of these, not because other men of super lor minds and weight of wharacter are no' present but because these are comparatively strangers. There is great intellectual power in the 'Convention, and if w isely 'directed, as we trust in God it may be, it may produce a marked i impression upon our city. We phall notice this meeting again and present a synopsis of its proceedings. -- When it has closed its "sessions, we shal] be able to take a more deliberate survey of its character. [From the Anti-Slayery Standard. Murder of aw Alleged fugitive. . The Telegraph has broucht us, within a few days, the news of another atrocity com-| mitted under the Fugitive" Slave Law, at 'Columbia, Pa. From an esteemed and re- liable correspondent, we have all the parti- culars of this tragedy, in the following letter. They are fuller than any we have scen from any other source, as th. killing of a mere black man, who was supposed to have been 'aslave, is not an event of so much conse- quence as to require from the papers gene- nally much more comment than is given to any ordinary item of news. Whether there will be any attempt to bring the murderer to justice remains to be seen. It has been stated that Goy. Bigler haddemanded him of the Governor of Maryland ; but this ru- mour, we presume from. what our corres: pondent says upon the-subject is untrue. ANcAsTRER, April, 2, 1852, Mr. Gay--It seems that Pennsylvania is to be written down in future history as the great 'battle-ground in the conflict between Liberty and Slavery, We have just had another exemplification of the happy results of the péace measures. On the aftemoon of Thursday last, the village of Columbia, on the Susqtichanna river, ten miles from this city, was thrown into a stale of great excitement by the report that a fugitive slave, in the employ of a lumber- merchant of 'that place, had been delibp- tately sliot, while in the discharge of the duties of his calling, by a police officer from Baltimore, who was commissioned by the master of the alleged slave to seize him for his especial use, ac cording te the sum- mary method laid down by. our highest legislative and judical authorities. From the Columbia Spy, now lying before me, I gather the following partic vulars, whieh are confirmed by all the reports we haye of the affair, except those which came by the Way of Baltimore. Deputy Marshall Snyder, of Harrisburg, and a police officer from Baltimore, named Ridgely, armed with a warrant issued by the notorious and infamous Commissioner McAlister, of the former place (who, by _ the way, is a member of the Protestant "Episcopal Church, in good standing), arrest- ed the slave whose name was Wm. Smith, while he was employed in piling boards, in the lumber-yard of Mr Gattlieb, Senior. Smith made some ineffectual endeavours to escape from the clutches of the scoundrels who had seized him, and while doing so, and in the custody of the officers, Ridgely drew a pistol and shot him, the ball enter- mg the nicht side of the head near the ear. He fell and expired in a few minutes with- out uttering a word. The officers then left, as they said, to Aeliver themselres up to the proper autho- | only crime is. having fled frdth the benign ities, Acthide i the aqelehahisirade" at Teast in so far as Ridgely was. concerned, with a very different j-urpose, for he immediately made the best of his way over the bridve leading across the Susquehanna, and with: all haste embarked ina train of cars which were just leaving for Baltimore, since when nothing has been heard of the rascal here; except throuzh a missive from liim to the Philadelphia 'Ledger, in which he endea- yours to palliate the cold-blooded murder which he has perpetrated, and for) which, though he may, and doubtless will, esc: ape punishment for it here, he will finally be called to an account by a just and righteous God, The statement whieh'T have giy enis in accordance with the testimony brought far- ward by the Coroner's Jury, and may be |¥ relied upon, whatever closs may be put upon it by a worthless and) mendaciots press, ever ready to pervert and falsify the truth in support of Slavery. The general opinion here is that. the. Goyernor of Pennsylvania, will not: dare to demand the criminal of the State of Mary- land, and the, conviction is universal that even if he should dagso, the Governor of that State will p milly refuse to deliver him up for trial. Our dough-facts go so far as to say (but it is not far for a dyugh- face) that Pennsylyania' and Maryland are now fainly at quits. In the opinion of this species, in order to atone for the death of a man who was killed while endeavouring to. reduce-again. to Slavery several of his. fellow- beings who had an equal right to liberty with himself, it is necessary that one free born citizen of Pennsylvania should be kidnapped, another who proceeds to Maryland for the purpose of restoring her to liherty, should be assassinated: by night, and that an honest, laboring' man, whose vule of the patriarchs, should be shot down inbroad daylight, because he refuses to re- turn to bondage without a struggle, / But one of the most revolting features in the whole aftair is the heartless apathy of the profoundly religious community in this region. The death of Gorsuch excited their righteous. indignation' to an exalted: pitch, but the death ofthis friendless nearo man. scarcely causes the slightest, disturb- ance in the curreut of society... " He was only, a 'nigger.' I quote the words of a church member who occupies a respectable social. position in this city. That sentence is a clue to the whole matter, IT have déferred writing to you until I could proéure the facts of 'the case from re: 'lable source, but hope my letter will reach you in time for the next number of the Standard. io truly yours, HL We Ge National Free Soil Convention.

Mr. Clark, a' clerey- man residing among them, was led by circumstances, subsequent to the emancipa- tion, to buy 120 acres'of land, divideit ap into about 100 villave lots, and have cottages built on it, so that 100 families beeame the possessors of their own houses and eardens, | 5 ata cheaj) rate; another house, which with the land around it, constituted the profit of the transaction, was made village property, and converted into a school-house: <A chapel and Mission-house haye sinee been built there.
