A Sinvery QiteslH)rt.—In 1&49 throo
slaves belonging to Mr. Harper, n farmer
in lk>onc county, Kentucky, fled to
and took refuge in Cincinnati. J heir
master purstied them, and was engaged in
ferreting out their place of concealment
when a free colored man ot property, named
Keyte, entered into negotiations for the
purchase of the three fugitives, and finally
liought them for ?t50. 3Ir. Harper exe
cuted a bill of sale in Cineinnati, and
K»>vte jrave a mortgage on some real estate
to secure the payment of the purchase
money, for w hich he li;id givc'i promissory
notes. When the m>tes came to maturity
they were nut paid, and ^Ir. Harper
recently filed a bill to forclose the niort-
ffiigo. The main point of the defence wa.«,
! tluit a contract for the purchase of slaves
Wits void in the State of Ohio. Judge Key
decided the c:i.se on the 2t'*th ultimo. He
held that, as the (Constitution and the act
I of Congress give a right of recapture, such
' richt of recapture is sufficient to sustain a
contiMct of sale executed by* he niiister in
a free State, conveying fugitives then in
such free Stiite to a citizen of sucli State,
' and a decree of foreclosure was therefore
made.
It is a bad omen of respect for the law,
if not of puldic virtue, (says the Charles
ton “News,"'' when ni;iss meetings are
hchl in our ]U'incipal cities to sympathize
with t’oreiiin julveiiturcrs who make no
.secret of their plans for invadiuir and re-
voluti(nii/ing countri.'s with whi»h the
I'nited Sr.ites ;ire at peace. Hut the ot-
fenec is aggnivated, if it admits of airgra-

piilaet s” of steamers, tluit freipu iitly l"ok
like moving mountiiins of light iiiul tliime,
.so lirilliiintly are the.se enormous river
leviathans illuminated, outside and inside.
Inde*d, the spect:icle presonti'.l is like a
drciim of eiu hantmcnt. Iniiigine stciiuu r
after ste:imer coming sweeping, sounding,
thundering on, blazing with tlx'se thou-

flections on the fast rolling Wiiters beneath.

lights in the numerous cottages and home-

often ob.serve large wood fires lit on the

These, T believe, are usually signals for
the different steamers to stop to take up

I Although not relishing the task of cliroti-
i icling the progrcps of ‘^bloomerism,” yet
we cannot allow the splendid exhibition of
it which was made in our streets yesterday
to pass unnoticed. One ot the sahle gvd-
defisrx of the city promenaded the streets
in the richest (,)rient.-il costume. A splen
did red velvet spencer—a magnificent tiiira,
excjuisitidy wrought; w hite trow.sers reach
ing a little below tiio knee—fleMi-colored
silk stockings, termin:iting in a brace of
sandals that became a sylph—all fitting
elegantly the weanrr ot them—these made
up the \>xhibiti»m of which we s^K'ak.
The sensation was prodigious, and the
dusky-hued damsel found her steps upcm
the pavement much impeded at times by
the press of her followers. W e had not
the jdeasure of seeing the sight, but gi\e
our deseripti»»n from the intormation of
others more fortunate than onrsclt. ^V e
are sorry however, to add, that amidst the
insupj'vessible shouts ot admiration with
which the huh was greeted, some mischie-
vous boys annoyed her exceedingly with
Viirious missiles, chiefly fragments of water
melon rinds, which hapjiencd t(» be at
liiind in gn’at abundiince; and it h;iving
bc('ii Sundity, when all the street doors
were cl*>.>^«‘'l, she could not escape this un
expected dcimmatrution of }?nblic tavor,
but hiul to “grin and endure it.”

she avows her perfect inditfcrcnce to abuse i
from any quarter, and in tluf following
paragniph seems, in truth, rather pleased
jit the prospect of receiving her due share:
“Indeed,” says she, “wo would fear w'e
were not doing our duty to that great un-
sympathizing leviathan, the public, if we
didn’t get abused by some folks. The
kind old man who was letting his wife
whip him, on being remonstnitid with for
his want of spirit, said, “it pleases her and
don t hurt me.” We, perhaps, are not
pOH.Hesst*d of acute sensibility, but just now i
we don’t know of any thing that could hurt
our feelings uuless some one should break
our china, throw a cat into our cistern,
make a face at our baby, or call us ugly.”
