CZZY POLITICS
Meeting of the Free Democracy
11EJHCTI0N OF TOETB OWN JWMCIARY NOMINATtONS.
About thirty or fort/ individuals, among whom vrmn
John P. H*le, Judge Jay, au<l a few other prominent abo
litionists, calling themselves free democrats, assembled at
the i-tuy vesaot 1 institute to nominate th?lr candidates for
the Judiciary, and hear the report of a committee ap
feinted to pasa judgment on Ju Ige drier for hi* conduct
it tlic late fugitive .slave C? -e* iu IVnnsylvania. John
Jay, Esq., presided, and William 3. King officiated a* fce
cretary. After the minutes of the preceding^ meeting
were read, Mr Stansbury road the report of the nomi
nating committee, as follows ?
For Judtre of the Supreme Court? William Jay.
Forjudge* o< the Superior Court? t.uman Sherwood,
II. M. Robinson. Horace 1'resser.
Jur .luiliie <>f tho Common l'le.is? William Mcl>ermott.
For IHstrlot Attorney ? James F. Bowman.
At the suggestion of on? of the members, the following
report, which wan p:e.-eutod at tiie last nieetirg, aad re
ferred to Jhe committee, was also read:?
The commltteo appointed to report a list of nominations
for city and county officer-., to be supported by the free
deinoj'iHcy at the ensuing el action, report tht fallowing: ?
>or Jt dge of tbt- Supreme Court? Chns. 1'. Ki:l;lanl.
For Judges of the Superior C< art ? Itobert Rmmet,
Hurraj Hoffman, I.nclus Robinson
For Judge ? f the Common l'l-as ? (.eor^e r Nelson.
1 or i iHU-ic* Alt.irnajr? Chauncy Schatter ,
For l>ou ruur of Alms-house ? I 'avid f?:ir.".h
It will be perceived that Cor judicial officers the corn
inittte recommend the name- of persons already pnt iu
nomination bv other parties. Tut- cotir>? is adopted
frotu a belief that such office* should be removed a? far
as porsiMe from party consi lera'ions, and that the aims
of the free democracy can be be t promoted by gelecting
from the candidates presented by other organizations
tln?e J ersons who are believed to b? best fitted by cha
racter nnd ability for 'he po-ltiorv t? which they are
nomln?ted. For legislative and oity offices, the
committee are of i?*?ioa that it is inexpe
dient to make distinctive nominations at this
time, but that our friends be recommended to adopt such
action in reference to those officers as will securo a reform
in our city administration, sustain the aims of the able
and incorruptible City Comptroller A/nriah C. Flagg, and
prtmote the ele - ion of such candidates as are most
frierdly to the principles of the free democracy.
When both reports were rend, Judge Jay addressed the
meeting. lie said that he was opposed to the nomination
of partisan ju.'ges, and eould not therefore vote for the
adoption of'the report which had been read first. He
believed thst Hir.li a course would have a most injurious
effect, and he was therefore of opinion that it would be
much better to leave the choice of the judicial offices to
the people.
.Mr Wm. Mi 1>fv>mtt, who it will be perceived was nomi
nated on t lie free democratic ticket for Judge of the
*urt of Common Pleas, (\pres-ed himself strongly in op- 1
pusltion to 'he nomination of the ticket last proposed.
Mr. Mc-Perniott opposed the nomination of any party
ticket for the judicUrv, and said that he would be com
pelled to withdraw hit own name from that offered by the
committee.
Mr. Half, "aid that when the report wa* made at the
last meeting ho thought it hnd declined making any soni
irsations at all. He was not in favor of nominating parti
zau iudgen, for he had already seen enough of them.
Mir. STANNtirRY hoped the ticket presented would be ac
cepted. He considered it every way worthy of support
The meeting. however. Fpemed to think different, and
flntillv decided on not adopting any ticket, leaving it
to the fiee democracy to vote for whom they pleased. Two
of those who v, ere nominated, Mr. Mcfermott anl Mr.
Bowman, declined the nomination. The committee ap
pointed on the case of Judge Grier, made the following
report, which was read by the President :
The committee, to whom waB referred the subject' of
Judge Cirier's proceedings iu the Wlikf sbarre ca'e, report
that on the od of September iast. three iKjputv Manhals
attempted to arrest William Thomas, as a fugitive Uave,
at Gilchrist's Hotel, iu Wilkusbarre, Pa. 1h" deputies
were aided by two Virginians, who came with them.
Thomas nmde a most brave resiatanc?, and effected his
escape. The slave catchers behaved in a most cruel and
outrageous manner, frequently tiring at the fugitive and
endargerirg his life.
t>n a coinpl-iint made before a magistrate a warrant
was Issued for the apprehension of the three deputies.
Two only wero arrested, but they were immediately
br on jlit before , Judge Crier, of the C*. S. Court, on habeas
corpus.
The Judge s represented te have behaved on this occa
sion with gieat indecorum and arrogance. He is reported
to have been exceedingly indignant lhat "a tuppenny
State maid strata" should pretume to issue a ^arrant
against I ; I" d S'ates ot: en. and also to havo sail: ? "I
will have ?n indictment -en: tothe I'jited States Grand
Jury against the person who applies for the writ, or as
sift in gett'ng it the lawyer ?ho defend- and the sheri:T
who serve, the wilt, to fee whether the Cnited States
officers aie to be arrested and harassed whenever they
attempt to ferve a process of the Culted States." kc.
Notwithstanding this silly ebullition hepo-^poie l the
hearing f< r the purpoi-e of allow ing time to procure testi
ivoiij ih behalf or the prosecution: and. as lie afterward
paid," to give ji he State an opportunity of interfering.
<>n the dnv appointed, the judge found it convenient to
insist that the hearia.- must be .r j mrle, and on behalf of
the accused. Not a witness might he examined against
them, not a lawyer might ope'n in defence of the arrest, es
eept by the exprers authority of the Governor or Attorney
General of the State of Pern svlvania. Having tliu- a
clear field before him, Commissioner Jngraliam swore that
he issued the warrant agn'.n.-t Thomas, and the Marshal
swore be directs his deputies to serve the warrant, and
one of the three deputies swore they attempted to exe
cute this same warrant, aud the Judge di-charged the
prisoner'.
The Judge, in his printed opinion, assume* that the
complaint aga!n?t the officers was for *xecuting a lejjal
process? an assumption utterly groundless, the complaint
being that the slave-Jatchers.'iu a riotous manner, with
pistols aid other weapons, beat and wounded a certain
colored man named Bill; and that they assaulted, beat
?ud abused him, as he believed, with intent to kill him.
Tho process attempted to be served was a civil process
sga ast a man charged, not with crime, but "owing ser
vice.-' And, will it be maintained that a marshal, In an
action or debt, may shoot the defendant if he ruus from
hinr/ Vet this is the logical conclusion of Judge Grler's
argument, although not frankly avowed
The Justice had an undoubted right to Inquire whether
an atteaipt to murder had been made. Ihe-'udge in
sulting the justices of the peace, by styling them tup
penny magistrates, and by liberating tlie slave catchers,
may think he was saving the t'nlou and vindicating the
majesty of *ugiti\e Slave law ; but men whose minds are
less clouded by passion than his own wi'l see in such offi
cial arrogai to and usurpation only new luotivi-s for dis
turbing the ledernf governu ent, and new cause for ab
horring a detestable law.
The Judge, after giving an account of thea(T*ir, with
many important facts omitted, remarks: ? "We are una
ble to perceive in this transaction anythius worthy of
blame in the conduct cf these officers.
Although he would hear tu> witnesses against the depu
ties, yet numerous affidavits respecting their conduct
have been published, made by cituen- ol \V ilkesbarre,
who were witnesses of the affair, we give extracts from
Fome of these documents:
Charles Gegenheimer, depot ed? Heard a senHte and
noiso in the dining room; went there; saw the men had
thrown William Thomas on the floor; one of them held a
chair over his neck; h? got from under it; they selzwl
and threw him again; they fastened a handout! on his
right wrist; he matched a ca-e knife from the side table;
one of them got it fiom him and struck him with the
handle on tho head; he struck one with the handcuff, who
then called to Seaman for holp: Seaman answered, "If
you five cannot take liiin we won't help you;"' Bill gut out
of the room when they were all gone; I went into the
dining room and scrubbed up the blood? a great deal - -a
pint, more or less.
Heury L. Patton deposed? While the five men were
struggling with him, they beat his head with " billies ;'
they got n chair over him twice ; they caught him by th
hair, and beat his head against the floor ; when they had
bim down the third time tluy got tl.e hand cuff on hl<
right wrist ; when he got up he third time he struck oue
uf the men with the hand cuff : he got loose from them,
and ran and reached the door ; they caught him there,
but'be threw them off.
Casper l etterli swears? Heard a great noise, and In a
rouple of minutes Bill Thomas ran out of Gilchrist's
covered with blcol, and all his clothes bloody ; ran as
fast as he conld towards the river ; when he was about
I'.fteen yards from the house three men r.;n after h m :
two 1 saw had pistols. 'on? a revolver, the oth?r, I think
i doable barreled ; they f red three shot* at him as thoy
ran over the road and bank : I saw Jenkins lire one shot
while Bill was in tho water; Jenkins slood jthen on the
bank ; Wynkoop stood on the river edge and fired at him
is he stood In the water ; 1 saw the ball strike the water
behind KU, aud it niuct have p:t?ed by his head and
thouMers.
Jacob Kntz deposed? Heard a pistol shot and scream
^n the other sido of the bridge: heard another shot; got
to the wall and saw a man standing a few feet from the
?ater, on the ground, with a pi<tol in his hand: saw Bill,
tvho presented the awfulest sight 1 ever saw: was in the
aater, nearly up to his arm pits, washing off tho blood
that ran down his face; while I looked at Bill, the man on
the ground fired; 1 turned and saw that the pistol which
ivas "till smoking, was levelled directly at Bill, as straight
tsone wan conld aim at another: while I looked ho :d>ot
ngnin. an-1 then right a way -again a third time; Bill's face
wa- nearly square toward" me; 1 called out. " You Infer
nal scoundrel, aro you going to murder the man I re
cognized Bill; he called out. "It's no use? there's no
u?e? I'll never go back: I'll drown myself first." Bill
moved up under the bridge, and got out of my Fight.
James !,. Uird, iepo-ed that Mr Flick, a merchant, of
Wilkesbarre. in paaslng, ^aid it wa- a cowardly thing, ami
he did not believe the Kngitn e law -would hear them out
in It: Jenlins answered, "If he didn't tafce caro they
would serve him in the same wav; I said I thonght a
man might express his opinion; he answered, Not in
this case." .. .
J. F. Orton swear* that, while standing by the
officers, one of them addressed Mr. Hlllman ?''May be
you don't know we could oommand you In the name of
the President to help us take that man." " O ! yes I do,
said Hillman; "do yon want me*" " No " said they,
" we den't want sneh a damned man as yon " ...
Such la tho barbarit-y, arrogance, and Insolence cherish
ed by the Fugitive act, and such the mlscreanta em
powered by that aw uraed act to demand the aid of free
men aad of Clirlaf.ana in their work of oruelty ana blood.
Bueh are the Instrument* who, apparently enjoy the
special fatro^ and protection of a Judge oC the V, mtw
Statea ('* nrt, and in w'uose atrocious conduct he caa per
ceive nothing to blame.
In our opinion, the course pursued by Judge Grior, is an
outrage n? State ?ov<reignty, while his language was ex
ceedingly intemperate and offensive, and bin threat* indi
cating a dispneition to disregard constitutional rights, in
gratifying hi" vindictive feelings towards the freuds of
liberty and humanity.
Tlie conduct *f the a'nve catchers was marked no lt??
by barbarity and insolence than it was by most extraordi
nary cowardice. Five men seize an unarmed man, but
are unable t<> hold him. The valor of the negro, bin
heroisiu. and prrl'eieuce of death to slavery hai few if
any parallels in the annals of the brave and chivalric.
Ha<4 Kosv.'a delivered liimself in the same manner frwin
the Austrian* bin gvllaiitrv would have resounded
through Europe and America. The act of Thomas, in
striking town his assailants with his manacled hands,
then plunging into the water, and there calmly looking on
the cowardly wretches who were firing upon hiia, and
telling them it was of nr> use for he would die before he
would be taken, form., a scene surpassing, in moral sub
limi'y, almost any which the greatest poets hare o/er
feigned
We usk leave to submit the following resolutions: ?
1 Hcfolveri, Tl atjtho conduotof JudgeGrier, in attempting
to deprivo State officers of the cognizance of ori lies and eut
rapes, cum mlttod by slave eatohera, under color of a cominiu
sh eer's warrant, is a palpalde aud dangerous invasion of
State righ
2. Keaolved, That the ronduot of the three deputies,
although not regarded by Judge Orior as worthy of blame,
was must atrocious. and richly meriting condign punishment.
,1 Hesotved. That we rejoice in the wtnderful aud heroic
escape of Wiliiao Th?inas. and w<- trust that his bravery and
success will le?d many of his brethren to attempt and to effect
the ir deliverance fr in bondage.
?I Iwolved, That the vulgarity and violence of Judge
C.rl r in support <1 lavo catching and tlio infitniou* conduct
of the men he cc.i fiends combine t" aviucs the inttiicuoe of
the Fugitive Slase act in petrifying the heart* and eon
soil!' ccs of thor e who execute It
6 Resolved, TliAt tlio cut rape* at Wllk?s arre. and the
conduct o J lid re Orior, ifTora us re-v motives fir laboring
for the repeat of a law which is a nurse to the country, and a
disrrace to tlio i Iriluation and obri.-tiauity of the Nineteenth
(.ciftury.
On motion tlu- report and the resolutions appended !o
it woie adopted, alter winch Hi Hale made an assault
upon the fugitive Slave law in bis usual style. The case
of Judge Oiier lie considered one of grea! importance to
the country at large,anu the attention of tlie people should
he calltd in it. It was a law, lie said, that nulliucd the
trial by jury and habeas corpus and left the free man who
refused to comply with its obligat uns at tii# mercy of any
ruffian oraasasniun whn had a warrant from a judge, em
powering him to arrest the fugitive from slavery,
'i'he case spoken of in the report ho denounced
an outrage upon the lawa of God and man and he con
demncd, in the most unequivocal tei ms, the conduct of
Judge Grier who. he said, had by his decision given his
approval to an act of the most fiendish charactor, by
abetting men in their attempt to take the life of a humau
being.
A motion to appoint the following persons to inquire
into the practicability of establbhing a free dem* crktic

Reselv .1, Tl at t.y the remove' of Jndge Bronsoa, 'in art
unprecedented in the anna1 1 of this 1'nlon.iwe are uuwil

fell elTbadly on the apper turn, seeming iselined to give up
the race- and notwithstanding all the persuasive powers
of both driver and whip, he eould not be prevailed oa to
make another efort te overtake the gelding. He loped

tbe councils of tb? nut ion/ and was. together with
tbe cabinet ol' Gen. Ptarce, "responsible tor the idea
of building the Pacific railroad with money taken
from tbe treasury of the United States.'' Mr. Gaskill
denied their truth, and forwarded them to 'he Secre

Slk? ^our letter of the SOth ultimo arrived he: e during
my ab-ence, i.diI ill health has combintd with constant
occupation thus far, to delay my reply.
belore proceeding to withe th* political questions to
which you call my attention, I will dispone ol the person
al accu.sation which you inform we. Mr. Toombs ha* made
against me. You Kay, "lie denounced you as a disunion
ist sitticg In the councils of the nation." During the
controversy of INiO, in relation to the rights of tbe South,
aud the duties of the general government, in the territo
ries acquired from Mexico, my attention was called, iB
debate, to tbe fact that In certain newspaper* I had Ix-en
charged with a desire to dissolve the Union. Believing it
to be the woili of base nit n who cincealed thcro.-elves be
hind the inhtruac 's ttey employed, I then said bufjre
the S-nate, if aay wntlemau make.; the clmrga I will an
swer bin U mono* llah is. It was well understood that
Uuit answer woul -not be less ttar-h Uiau, it i* false.
Such i<% n y :mrwei . iw.
In that > aud e g ooatru , *r ;> :nr opi>*.esi?
aeie freely expressed They a if spre,. 1 <mi '.'lie volume*
of Congressional debates, and to them 1 refer to disprove
<11 allegation* made against my fealty to our constitu
tional Union. Subsequently, (lSftl,) when engaged in a
canvass in yis-iseippi, whilst I declared the oplaian that
h State, as a sovereign aud equal member of the Union,
had a ri^Ut to withdraw froui the confederation, 1 also
spoke ol it as the la-t remedy ? the Bual resort? one to
which, uuder existing circumstances, Mississippi should
not appeal, nnd such was the position of those with
whom i acted, as is shown by the resolutions of the con
vention which nominated tlir State ticket of 1851.
Though I have been made somewhat familiar with tbe
excesses of partisan conflict, I am not a little surprised
at this accusation, because tf the source from which it
comes. As a member ol Congress, and by personal inter
course, Mr. Toombs has had full opportunity to know
that the accusation is false; aud I am sure that a com
parison of the position taken by Mr. Toombs and myself
will show that my most ardent language ne<-er reached
the extreme to which he went, both befoie aud long after
the measures, commonly called the compromise of 185#,
had been presented, and the principles and constitutional
rights involved had been fully discussed.
in conclusion of this matter, I will onl.v say that I can
not very highly appreciate the moral sentiment of a man
who is prone to believe, ready to assume, that one w ho
desires to destroy the Union would be willing to hold a
place in its councils, and swear to support its constitu
tion; and he who makes such charge against me, does so
gratuitously, and thereby assures me that he is radically
false and corrupt.
1 send you printed copies or the speeches I made at
Philadelphia aud New York, which you can compare with
the representations which, you inform me, have been
a ado of my remarks in relation to a railroad to the Paci
fic Ocean. You will not fail to observe that the only point
on which 1 claimed to express the views of the President
was. an assurance of strict regard for State rights. In
relation to the construction of a railroad my remarks are
directed to the first question, that is the constitutional
power of the general government. The power of the go
vernment, under certain conditions, is held to extend to
the construction of a railroad withiu the limits of terri
tories belonging to the United StateR. He, who denies
this, must ulso deny the power to construct wagon roads,
for which appropriations weie made by the last Congress
for the territories of Minesota, Oregon and Washington ?
and with the disbursement of which I am now charged.
He must deny the jurisdiction which has bee a so long
exercised over the territories by the geneiai government;
and liually find himself on the lame platform with the sect
* hicli array ed the sovereignty of the territorial inhabitants
fcs a barrier to federal legislation for tbe protection of a
slaveholder's projierty. who should migrate from a
Southern State, one of the jeint owners of that territory,
to become an inhabitant of it. Within the limits of the
States, the action of the federal government is restricted,
so that itcould not e.\ceed the aid which might be given
to a private company, aud that I liavo held, oil oilier oc
casions was limited to the Interest in the work which the
government had as a lauded proprietor. The rule on
which Congress has made grants of contiguous land, and
tlie right of way in aid ol the construction of roads. Be
ycud the question of power, are 'lie questions of practica
bility and expendiency. The practicability will be more
intelligibly di, cussed when the surveys directed to be
made by tho lata Congress, have been completed. They
aie uow in progress, aud I liave not attempted to foretell
their re-.ii.ts.
The expediency is to be considered in connection wit li
all the political, physical aud administrative questions
which niter into it " The mode of execution, the last to
be dtcidad, is the fir- Zrsetms to me presented for objec
tions: and 1 ain held responsible for a particular plau of
proceeding, when I had proposed none, when, from the
dependence of the plan and means of execution upon the
location el' the route, I had not considered it possible to
decule on the bestjjmod* of proceeding Alii after the route
had been located. Then, and not 1 i ? 1 then, can any one
e-t linate the extent of road, how much, if any, willMiave
to be constructed within tue limits of the United States
territory, the co-d per mile, and the means which can be
made available lor the construction.
Very respectfully, your obedient fervant,

speed of the ship to and fro acrosa it. Vou will there
?e ulong^with me alio,
while I pass hastily in review some of the moat striking
of those improvements, and the most obvioui ot the
agencies which have brought them about.
I think that c en are yet in their prime of life who will
rejollent the time when a "monster ship" (as she was
then thought to be) of between f.OO and 000 tons, was
bolt here in Liverpool, and had to lie in the docks,
months, if not years, serving as a play yard for bovs, be
cause she too big to bo finished with a cargo. Contrast
f you please, the size of that ship with the size of some
. n .fV fi0W Sf. g 0ttt "f "wpool. and though you
will find them three or four times as large, yet the de
mand is for larger ones still.
When Warren Hastings went to India he had a passage
or ten months, and i: was considered that he was fortu
e In not having n longer time. Under canvass tliat
passage has in our times been accomplished in 00 or 100
clays; and. that ship and master, who should now have a
passage of ten months to India, would both lo.-e c iste
Therefore, in contrasting ships and the state of navi
gation now, with ships and the state of navigation then
we should no', though we llnd much to attribute to the
ingenuity, skill, and enterprise of man, forget that much
is also due to the inestimable blessings ol reace; which
almost unperceived, like the dews of heaven, have'
been fulliug upon us during the itliile,
J he time is not beyond the memory of living men
when commerce and the condition of the werhl were
such that ships were required to sail in convoy, uudpr the
w'ng,of ?n?ed cruiser*. And in that day the best mer
chant ships were enly "compnuy keepers ?' Hi en neither
fcuiider nor on ui r had any motive to expend in the con -
strnctii.n of a ship one dollar for the sake of siieed. In
the fleet the speed of the slowest regulated the speed of
all, and therefore the dollar was expended for capacity
for cargo rather than for speed. Wo see iu models of
those days, and in their clumsy proportions, the most
eloquent expression of this fact.
Then came peace with its benign and invigorating in
fluence^ othti occupations were round lor men-of-war
and the merchantman was left free to pursue hi* vovago ir?
his ?* n way. at her own time, and acei rding to her ow i
convenience and abilities. Then then* was a demand fo
speed lu then. erchant vessels, the ingenuity of builder
viastaxefj and the strong arm of the mechanic wu
brought into requisition to execute the behest., o
tcience, to satisfy this new demand of commerce.
