The Strike Continues.
Tho shoomakcrs of Massachusetts still
refiihc to be slaves and to work at starva
tion prices for tho Abolition capitalists,
Tho mad folly of tho capitalists has driv
en oft' Southern trade, and their eflbrtH to
mnko tho white Inboiing men of Now En

have lost by their iiiKKcrworshinpinif,

On Friday last, tho strikers c? Lynn
mado a great turnout in procession, num
bering over 0,000. Tho spectators were
doublo that number. Several hundred
banners weto buno by tho stiikcrs, both
inalo and female, nnd the city was deco-
lated In iiiiiny places wliith (lags nnd
i,treamers. Tho procession comprised,
besido all tho strikers of Lynn, large
military nnd iiro companies with bands of
music and delegations from nearly all tho
neighboring towns. The weather is said
to have boon delightful, nnd tho proceed
ings hainionious nnd highly gratifying to
to the partisipators.
The Nigger Question.
Den't our Nelphlior of tho I'armrr know that
thn Hiiiriino Couit of Ohio, with a majority, If not
a full bench "of Democratic Judges, decided many
jean ago, that colored people, in whom white blood
predominated, were entitled to tho eleclivo (Van
thiao I If it wa light for a Democratic Court to
make such n decision, there la surely no ground
tor complaint, if n Republican Couitfhould make
ii similar one. It in only following Democratic
precedents. Rcpuhlican.
Tho abovo will do with n few slight
corrections.
1st Tho decision was not made by "a
full bench of Domocratic Judges," nor
"with a majority" of such.
2d. Tho Decision refered to was madeJ
undor tho old Constitution which made
"white molo citizens of Ohio" legal
votorti instead of "whito main citizens of
tho United States," as tho now Constitu
tion reads. The highest Tribunal in the
Union lias decided that mulnttocs nro
not "white initio citizens of tho United
Ktnlos," and of courso they cannot bo en
titled to vole under our present Constitu
tion. A person tuny boa oiti.en of Ohio
or of any other State, nnd still not bo n
citzen of the United States. Tho laws of
Minnesota make a man born in a foreign
country n citien after six months losi
idoncoin tho United Stales, provided that
lcsidenco is in Minnesota, but such por
HOiis cftuunt become citizens of the United
States until they have complotod fivo
years residence in thu Union.
!ld. Thu Courts of Ohio have no moio
right to sot at defiiineu the derisions of
tho Hiipiemo Court of tho United States
than ft Justice of tho Pence has to defy the
Mtporior courts of Ohio.
Tho lllnck Republicans who full back
upon tho (dd dcciiion that mulattnes could
voto under tho then oxisting Constitution
should bear in mind thudilVeieuce between
tho old nnd new Constitutions of this
Ktnte; nnd nlso that sineo thondoption of
the present Constitution wliich makes all
"whito male citizens of tho United States."
itc, voters, that tho highest Judicial Tii
buual in the land has plainly decided that

Tho old pioject of forming a new Stato
out of Northern Mississippi,' Western

nesseo, nnd by the Mississippi on the west;
nnd would contain a population of about
700,000. Memphis would bo nbout in

Tho Stephens and Ilnzlott sympathy
meeting is over. It wns largely attend'
ed tlio inoro fanatical portion of the Ab
olitionists filling up every nook nnd cor
ner of the Court H01160. The speakers
wore John Drown, Jr., nnd Owen Drown,
sons of tho John Drown hnnged nt Har
per's Forry Coppic, Dedpath, nnd oth
ers, nmong whicli is included ono of the
Editois of tho Rlain Dealer of your city.
Tho meeting was got up loss to sympa
thize with tho ,mcn hung for their crimes
tliis day nt Charleston, Virginia, than to
give an assurnnco that tho criminals
should bc protected In Ashtabula county,
ngninst tho officers of the lnw. Thoro is
a band hero pledged to nid in 1 canning,
even unto denth, whoso distinguishing
mark is a black ribbon worn nround tho
neck. Tho Drowns wcro hcnvily nrmod,
as indeed wero most of tho othors prcsont
yet 1 could not holp thinking that, nrnicd
with n United Stntes warrant nnd n doz
en or so of icsoluto men, I could have
spoiled tho wholo meeting nnd dispersed
it in fivo minutes by tho running off the
spenkcis.
John Drown, Jr., is the nblest mnn of
tho lot, nnd seemed to bo tho finest spenk
cr. In prnising Stephens, ho ndmitted
that ho committed n murder in Mexico,
for which he wos condemned to death,
but his sentenco was commuted by Pres
ident Polk to two yeors imprisonment,
from which ho csenped and wont to Kan
sas, where he beenmo acquainted with
John Drown, Sr., nnd finnlly engaged in
the Harper's Ferry nfiiiir.
Tho speech of Owen Drown, ono of the
Fugitives whom Gov. JJcnnison rclnscd
to deliver up, wns broken nnd discon
nected, nnd after speaking for ft long
time, ho wns finally put down by cries
for Coppic, another Fugitivo, who fled to
Iowa, but whom the Governor of that
State, for reasons about na Filly ns those
given by Gov. Dennison, refused to de
liver up.
Coppic taking tho stand, was greeted
with much npplauso. lie was unwell
aud could not speak, he said, more than
to thank his friends for their kindness.
John Drown then ngain got up. ITo
said tho papers cnt to Iowa in Conpie's
case wero informal, and that Coppic wos
advised that they would bo amended, nud
that Gov. Kirkwood would then Btirren
dor him to Virginia, as wero tho other
martys to liberty, tic had consulted tho
ablcstcounscl hocouldfind, nnd wns told
tlmt if ho went to Canada, and a demand
was mode for him thoro, under tho Extra
dition Treaty, ho wonld bo given up.
Where, then, can bo and these other bravo
men go? Cries of stay bore wo can and
will protect you nil in Ashtabula county.
No officer daro como here. This Is freo
soil, nnd Duchanan's myradons daro not
here, &c interrupted the spoakcr for somo
time. Tho spenkor continued: Thank God
thero is one freo spot left, whoro ft man
who acts up to his convictions of right
can be protected, nero wo can give nn
assurance of freedom to all, by tho nid of
our strong arms nnd sound hearts nnd wo
will protect ourselves, and wo will pro
tect all who may como to us for a rofugo
from tho slave dealer ond from slave laws.
Tho object of tho meeting soomcd to be
to got 6n expression from the crowd in
favor of resistanco to tho lnw. uutdings'
"Sons of Liberty" havo thrown aside
thcis peeled sticks for Colt's revolvers, and
have adopted tho black ribbon nbout the
nock as a token by which to recognize
ono another. In looking (it some of thorn,
I thought a hempen cord, fastened with
ft running noose, would be more appro
priate, nnd that to that comploxion must
they como nt last.
Several Ministers of tho Gospel, and
others professodly Christian, madospcech
cs in favor of tho objects of tho meeting.
I snw ono of tho Editors of tho Plain
Dealer, of your city, cheek by jowl with
Drown and othors, seemingly much Inter
ested, and occasionally applauding tho
speakers. I understand that ho finally
beenmo convcited nnd mado n, speech. I
did not hoar him, for I folt disgusted to
seo a man professing to bo a Democrat
thus giving aid and comfort to tho one
mies of tho Union and of law nnd order,
and I left. Yours, truly.
March 16, 1860. Important Arrest--Boynton the
Absconding Washington Clerk
in Custody.
Lnst evening Capt. Dowling and officer
Jourdan of the Sixth Ward succeeded in
arresting S. G. Doynton, lato it clerk in
Washington under Mr. Forney. Ho is
nccusod, os our readers must know, of
absconding with upwnrd of 5-00,000
worth of Post Offico scrip, which ho had
leccived from other parties for tho pur
poso of soiling. It is allodgcd, however,
that ho pocketed the cash, and intonded to
leave for Uuropo by tho next steamer.
It was not supposed that Doynton was
in tho city at all, but yesterday evening
Captain Dowling received information
that ho was somowhero around, as nlso
nn incomplete description of his appear
ance. Dy this blender thread hung the
wholo case, nnd It was indeed courngeous
to think oven of tho possibility of n suc
cessful issue. Tho officers started out
and searched Droadway through but
without success for somo time, until nt
last they observed tho very gentleman
thoy woro looking after walking tlown
Droadway lato in tho afternoon with nil
thosow froid imaginable
Atlirsttho Captain was not certain
that this was tho right mau, but strongly
supposed it was, determining to bo pret
ty suro boforo veiiturinir on an arrest. At
last thu accused stopped before tho Inter
national Hotel, when it was settled that
ho should bo announced of his unpleas
ant position. Captain Dowling there
fore called him by name, and Doynton
did not pretend to deny that ho was tho
sought aftor party, but quietly procodod
to tho station houso where he was placed
under strict 6urvoillanco.
Tho prisonor is a good looking gentlc-
mnn.of about 39 years of ago, and takes
His arrest quite coolly, enjoying nimscii
by smoking cigars amt writing letters to
kis friends "at homo and nbrond." Ho
will bo detained to await ony requisition
'kat. may demand his body at any placo.
