The Lnt<> Philadelphia Libel Suit.
Mr. Editor:—Inasmuch as you have for
two weeks past opened your columns to
statements in reference to the case recent-
ly disposed of in our crimiual court—the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vb. XYm.
Still, you will not, of course, refuse to state
the case fairly through the same medium.
(On our first page will be found a brief
history of the trouble, agreeing 6ubstan-
tiolly with the statement of our correspon-
dent, which, consequently, can be omit-
ted .—Ed. j
There are, however, several consider*,
tions upon the bearings of the case, which
have been put forth through the public
press and public meetings, and which are
therefore presumed to be fair matters for
criticism.
It has boeu sought to create the impres-
sion that the case whs one of very little
moment to any one. Is a mother's or a
wjfe'» honor of no moment ? Mrs. Wells
H wile and mother. Judge Thompson,
whom, unlike his associates, we have never
heHrd accused of unfairness or partiality,)
who, baviug heard aud investigated all tho
facts in the case, may be believed to have
thoroughly understood tho matter from be-
ginning to end, said: "It is not my de-
sign to intlict any serious punishment—
certainly not a punishment which would
be adequate to the wicked and scandalous
libel which you published"
■j. It has been stated several times in
tho public journals, and we heard Mr. Still
himself say, in a public meeting, that he
did not plead guilty—that he did not ac-
knowledge his guilt, or his error. The
language of Judge Thompson— the very
first remark in his review of the case—is:
"Win. Still, you have entered the plea of
guilty to the charge of issuing a scandal-
ous and malicious falsehood." Yet it is
claimed that he did not plead guilty I Can
this be possible ?
J. It has been freely said that Mr. Still
was merely performing a conscientious du-
ty to the public. He stated in court,
through his witnesses and counsel, that he
had no desigu that the letter should be
read by anyone except the person to whom
it was addressed. Now, how was this con-
fidential communication to a single person
to benefit the public? Was that one per-
son the public'( But there might yet be
force in this assumption if he had not him-
self pleaded j»uilty—if somebody else, a
jury, for instance, had said so. Hut he was
conscientious. Maybe be was. But is
man excusable if he strikes at your honor,
your character, your all, without evidence,
on tlnnsy hearsay—on caprice, perhaps?
We do not wish to go into motives, but the
point of tho couBeientious performance of
duty on his part has been made much of,
and upon it the public have been asked to
side with and for Mr. Still. It is there-
tore certainly a tit subject for public re-
mark. Let it, therefore, be asked, if he
was simply aud only desirous to guard the
public, why did he contiuue to write confi-
dential letters reflecting r.pou Mrs. Wells,
atter the hearing before au Alderman ?
Why those letters to Cincinnati and St.
Louis ? A letter before us from Mr. Gar-
rison ^Win. Lloyd) states that at least one
more such letter was sent to parties in
Boston than has come to light. Is there
any excuse tor such conduct, or ought the
public to be called on to endorse and sanc-
tion it?
And now just a word about the public
meeting of which you i»#ve an account in
your last. One uot knowing the facts in
the case would gather the impression that,
for instance, Hov. Wm. Douglass was at
the head of a faction that came to the meet-
ing expressly to raise a disturbance. It
will be a matter of surprise to Philadelphi-
ans to see any .one taking liberties of this
kiud with a gentleman of such unusual so-
ber aud weighty character as Mr. Douglass
hears wherever ho is known, unless it be
for the strongest of reasons. Neither Mr.
Douglass nor anyone else, as far as we
kuow, was there to disturb the meeting.
Tho public were called together to give a
liproj>er public expression." As part of the
public, Mr. Douglass and other were there
to aid in shaping that "proper expression."
They were ready to say many things in
Mr. Still's favor; but, feeling and knowing
that he lisd acted very wrongly in the case
botween himself and Mrs. Wells, they
were unwilling to countenance an attempt
to palm off a wrong for a right, as if Mr.
Still (who seems to need "endorsing" two
or three times a year lately) could do no
wrong. Nor wore they willing to counte-
nance au unwarranted atiaJt upon counsel
who have devoted, without /*»y, much of
their lives to the cause of our oppressed
race.
It is said iu your columns that the reso-
lutions were passed. We assert, boldly
and tlatly, that they were not passed. The
chairman simply put to the house the
"ayes,"' without calling for the "nays" at
all! The resolutions it ere not and could
not have been /Missed. If there was disor-
der at the meeting, it was from both sides,
and was certainly not made or encouraged
by Mr. Douglass. JCSTITU.

Mr. Editor:—Tbe Sabbath-School at-
tached to the First Presbyterian Church
(Rev. Jonathan C. Gibbs pastor) celebrat-
ed its twenty-fifth anniversary on Thurs-
day evening last, at the church, Seventh
street, below Shippen. The pastor opened
the exercises with prayer, after which
some five or six beautifal pieees of sacred
music were sung by the school in a manner
that would have done credit to persons of
more mature years. An address was then
delivered by J. S. White, which was fol-
lowed by more soul-stirring music from the
school. These were not all pieces woily
performed, but many of them were quite
difficult, and required considerable «HH as
well as training of the voice. H. Boyer,
Jr., discoursed quite eloquently on "The
value of a good name." After this two
other pieces Were performed, one by the
school, and the other a solo and chorus.
The exercises were concluded by ainging
tho doxology, "Praise God from whom all
ilessings flow:" Much of the pleasure
which the audience derived from the con-
cert was due to Mr. Davis D. Turner, for
the able manner in which he performed
upon tbe organ. 1 have often thought
that there was more real pleasure to be
derived from a concert of this kind, where
sacred music was well peformed, than from
any operatic performance I had ever wit-
nessed.
The season has arrived when excursions
will be passing to and fro. In a short time
we shall hear of Sabbath-Schools going to
spend the day in woods and groves and ro-
mantic spots, and no one doubts that such
excursions are invigorating to health; but
I have thought that they serve more to de-
stroy than to create any moral feelings. I
am aware that they fare fashionable, but
fashion is no criterion for morals. I have
seen told of many unbecoming things be-
ing done on these romantic excursions, by
ministers and persons of sober habits. A
returned excursionist once told me of a
fiery preacher (an acquaintance of mine)
who played a game of billiards, and was
quite expert at it. Now, while that might
not have been a sin per se, it won for that
minister the name of being a free and easy
Christian, and had the effect of lowering
him in the estimation of those who knew
of the circumstance. Another one said, "I
played ball with 'my minister to-day, and
I hit him a tremendous blow, and he prais-
ed me for my skill at ball-playing." He
thought that a moral hit. These things
may not be really bad in themselves, but
there is nothing in them to commend them
to our admiration. I think we should dis-
criminate between things which have a mo-
ral tendency and those which are secular
in their nature : for instance, a Fourth-of-
July oration, or a First-of-August celebra-
tion, could not, I think, be given in a
church with propriety, and especially the
former.
The Philadelphia Library Company
have concluded their course of lectures for
the season, and have adjourned sine die.
There was to Nave been a lecture on Tues-
day evening last, but at the hour of com-
mencing there were so few persons present
that the lecturer would not hold forth.
Messrs. I. C. Wears, D. B. Bowser, S. M.
Smith, and Wm. P. Price carried on a dis-
cussion up to the hour of adjournment.

Ma. Editor:—A mass meeting of the
eitiaens of Philadelphia was held at the
above-named hall en Monday evening, May
14th. Mr. John C. Bowers waa appointed
chairman, and Mr. Geo. W. Goines secre-
tary. Mr. Samuel M. South stated *hn*
the object of the meeting was to consult on
the best means to be be adopted to raise
$100 by 13 o'clock to-morrow, to secure a
retainer fee for the counsel to defend the
«n charged with attempting to rescue
Horner. Ha stated that the committee had
sen deterred from securing counsel by the
intervention of the agents of the Anti-
Slavery Society. Mr. Wm. Still and Mr.
Jacob C. White denied that any official
report had been made on the subject lead-
ing to the impression that counsel had been
employed by tbe society for this case.
The meeting, after considerable debate,
authorised the eommitee to ask aid from
the churches and persons friendly to the
cause, that the men may not go into court
on Monday morning entirely at the mercy
of their enemies. Considerable enthusi-
asm prevailed during the meeting, which
held till nearly half-past 11 o'clock.

«o the Friea4s of Free-
Having labored very effectually in be-
half of the down-trodden and oppressed of
our race for the past few years, I am under
the necessity, for the first time, of desiring
aid from the benevolent friends of freedom
particularly those with whom I have been
a fellow laborer. I am now on the eve of
going to trial, with 8 other gentlemen,
who dared resist the Fugitive Slave law
By some mismanagement, which it would
be better for the committee to inform the
public of than myself, we are at this time
destitute of means and counsel. The op-
posite side are sparing no pains to give us
the terrors of the law to its fullest extent.
We ask, therefore, that our friends, where-
ever they may feel an interest in this mat-
ter, shall raise what they can, and forward
it to Messrs. Samuel M. Smith and John
C. Bowers, the chairman and secretary of
the Vigilant Committee, by whose exer-
tions we are now out on bail, and would
have been fully prepared for trial had they
not been prevented by the intervention of
others, who have just now, at the last hour,
left us destitute. I ask particularly that
my numerous friends in the W est will re-
spond to this appeal.

Sympathy with Mr. Wm. Still.—A copy
of the following resolutions, passed at the
meeting in Philadelphia on the 3d inst.,
was forwarded and referred to by our faith-
ful correspondent, "Banneker," last week,
but their publication was deferred to the
present issue:
WAcrcoj, Our worthy fellow-citiaen and coad-
jutor, Wm. Still, haa recently been compelled to
submit to tinci and imprisonment for performing
an unpleasant though important duty, inseparable
from his position as an active and zealous laborer
in the anti-slavery cause and good citizen ; there-
fore,
Ktsolp«rf. That in the faithful and unflinching
discharge of his duty as an employee of a philan-
thropic society, as a benefactor to the public by
shielding the bensTolent from deception, through
his commendable vigilance and careful, conscien-
tious discrimination of unpretending merit from
specious pretension ; as a devoted sympathizer
and adviser of the hunted and outraged bondmen
of this country, we assure him of our hearty sym-
pathy and our unabated confidence in his integri-
ty of character and fidelity of purpcee.
Rtsoltvd, That while realising the importance
of tribunals of justice ia a civilised country, and
while respecting the great privilege pertaining to
the legal profession aad exercised by members of
the same, neither obligatioaa to a cheat nor hon-
or, honesty, and fair dealing, justify tbe
tirades against Abolitionists, aad the
sion of truth and misconstruction of
often indulged in by men who, haviag drawn
largely upon the resources of anti-slavery i
in times gone by, when they were proud to be
thought allied to them through prohaaed unison
of se aliment, now make haste to ally themselvee
to the slavery propagandists of the times.

HE subscriber hereof having been accused of
charging Edwerd M. Thomas with causing the ar-
rest ot Maria Williams at the cars, some two
weeks age, hereby most positively deny having
accused either him (Thomas) or any other person
whatever of causing said arrest.
PAUL JENNINGS.
I do say that Mr. Paul Jennings did
poaitively inform me that Edward M.
Thomas and the Rev. A. W. Way man
had caused the arrest of the woman Miss
Williams, and that it was done to rain him
and a Mr. Madison who were endeavoring
to get this woman off as a free woman—
and at any time that Mr. Jenning's wants
any further proof, I am prepared to furnish
it. Yours,

Arc Osnr Voaas Mem Doing!
Mr. Editor:—Again 1 ask, what are
our young men doing ? Will they persist
in staying in this and other large cities?
In the early part of April I was called out
of this mean city to New Jersey, on busi-
and there made the acquaintance of
some eighteen of or twenty very re
spectable farmers, a large portion of
whom are natives of New York, and
the balance are from the Southern States.
Several of the latter have served the great
monster aalMng hi—elf a gentleman, but a
confounded wretrh in men's clothing known
to them as master. In some instances
they have bought their freedom, and that
of relatives, and now own, beside them-
selves, horses, cattle, sheep, and everything
requisite to forming successfully.
Young men, yon have one thing that
yon can boast of in this great city. There
are here many pretty and intelligent young
ladies. Now, will you suffer these, your
relatives and future wives, to stay here
and beoome drudges for your oppressors,
when yon can live on your own forms
within two and a half hours' ride of New
York, and where you will be more respec-
ted as a man and a gentleman. One says,
MI am no former;" another says, "I cannot
the beat;" and another says, "Where
can I boy a form with the small amount I
have." Hero is the ease of a German with
whom I am acquainted. His first pur-
chase was 22 acres, at $12 per acre, pay-
ing only $10 cash, and by the
of three years he was able to pay the bal-
ance, and in four years more was able to
offorme a loan of one or two thousand dol-
lars if I wanted to buy a form. My sin-
cere wish is that sons old or young gent]
man mid criticise these suggestions in
next week's paper.
