A RUSSIAN WOLF-HUNT, X7e tfaoslato the following etory from a late ; oCoVet of M. Alexander DnoM't newspaper!. It is an extract from one of his letter from St. Petersburg: r Wolf hunting and bear hunting are the favor-, ite pleacurrt of the Ruasian. WoUes are bunted io this way in the winter, wheu tbe woI?e being hungry are ferocious. Three or four hunts-men, each armed with a double-barreled gun, get , into a troika, which is any sort of a carriage ; drawn by three horses its name being derired . from its team and not its form. Tbe middle horse " trots always; the left hand and right hand horses -must always gallop. The middle horse troU with -his head hanging down, and he is called the "SnowiEater. The two others bare on' one rein and they are fastened to tbe polesTiy the middle I l X tK Kwt V Anil f11tn tli ai r.i are ealled the Furious. The troika is driven a sure coachman, if there is such a thing in the world as a sure coach- man. A pig is tied to the rear cf ihe vehicle by a rope or a chain, (for greater security,) some twelve yards long. Tbe pig. is kept in the vehi. -cle uutil the huntsmen reach the forest where the hunt is to luke pWe, hen he is taken out and the horses started. The pig, not being ac- customed to tbis gait, sqneels, and his squeels soon deKeuerate into laineniations His Cis bring but one wolf, ho gives the pig chase; then two wwlvep, then three, then ten, then fifty-wolves all posting as hard as they cuu aftt-r tLe poor pig, fighting among themselves for the best places,' snapping and striking at t h po r jip at ev ery opportunity, whosqueels with despair. These ( sqieals of agony Rrotise all lb' woUes iu tbe for est, withiu a circuit of three miles, aud the troika is followed by an immense fl"ck of wolves. ' It is now a good driver U iodispensnble. The horses have an instinctive horror of wolves, and . go aim out crazy; they run as fast as tbey can go The huntsmen fire, as fast- as they can load there is no necessity to tnke any aim. The pig squeal the horses eih tbe wolves howl - the guns rattle; it is a concert to nr.ake Mephis- tnph-les jealous. As long as the driver ci m-tjj ands his horses, fast as they rny be running away, there is no danger. But if he ceases to be master of them; if they baulk, if the troika is upset, there is no hope. The nest day, or the duv after, or a wek afterwards, nothing will re- :mHin of tbeparty but the wreck of the troika, the barrels of the guns, an 1 the largest bones of the horses, huntsmen, an i driver. Last winter Prince Kepniue went on one of these hunts, and it came very nrar beinjr his last bunt, tie wasoa a vnit with two ot nistnends to one of his estate near the steppe, and they " determined to go on a wolf hunt. .Tbey prepared a large sle'gh in which t'iree. persons could move at ease, three vigorous horses were put into it. and thev selected for a driver a man born in the , 4 country and thorougblr experienced in the sport. . Every huntsman . had a pair of double-barreled guns and ahundred and fifty ball cartridges. It wan night when they reached the steppe; that is, an immense prairie covered with. snow. The tnoon was full and shone brilliantly; its beams, refracted by the snow, gave a. light scarcely inferior to daylight. . Tbe pig was put out of the sleigh and the horses whipped up. As soon as the pig fell tht he was dragged he began to squeal. A wolf or two appeared, but tbey were timid, and kept a long ways off. Their number gradually increased, and as their number augmented, they became bolder. There were about twenty wolves when I tbey came within gun range of the troika. . One of the party fired; a wolf fell. The flock became alarmed- and balf fled away. Seven or eight hungry wolves remained behind to devour their dead companion. The gaps were soon filled. On every side howls answered howls, on very side sharp noses and brilliant eyes were seen peering. The guns rattled volley after vol- - ley. But the flock of wolves increased instead of diminishing, and soon it was not a flock but a ant herd of wolves in thick serried columns which gave chase to the sleigh. - The wolves bounded for-ard so rapidly they eemed to fly over the snow, and so lightly, not a sound was beared; their numbers continued to increase, and increase, and io crease; they seem. d to be a silent tide drawing nearer and nearer. - and wbica the guns of the party, rapidly as they -were discharged, had no effect on. The wolves , formed a vast crescent, whose horns began to encompass tbe horses. Their number increased ' o rapidly tfcer aeesaed to spring out of the - ground. There was something' weird ia their ' appearances, for where coull three thousand wolves come from ia such a desert of snow. The party had taken tbe pig into ; the sleigh; his squeal increased the wolves' boldness. The party continued to fire, bat they has now used above talf their ammouition, and had but two hundred ' eatridsree left. whiU ' ti .... j three thousand wolves. jThe two boras of the crescent came nearer and nearer, and threatened to envelope tfc. r.-.- ; -If one of the horses should have (riven oat, the fate of the whole party was sealed. What do 70a think of this, Ivaa?" said Priooe Rapnine, I apeaking to the driver. ul had rather be at home, JPriBC'" Areyoa; aXrsid of any evil 'conse qenca?, ,; The devilf havi Us ted . blood.' and ;.th mora you fira tha toore wol ve rouTl bate.' - wnatao yott think is the best thinjto beJoner --iaxt ue nortes f 0 faster.

The driver incited them to increased speed bj a sharp whis tie, and made ihem describe a carve which in-terse cted one of the, horns of the crescent The wolves opened their ranks and let tbe horses pass; The Prince raised his gnn to his shoulder, "For God's sake don't firef exclaimed the driver, "we are dead man if you dol". He obeyed Ivan. The wolves, astonished by this anexpec-ted act, remained motionless for a minute. During this minute the troika was a verst from them. When the wolves started again after it, it was too latethey coul l not overtake it. A quarter of an hour afterward they were in sight of home. Prince Repaine thinks his horses ran at least six miles in these fifteen minutes. He rode over the step pe the next day, and found the bones of more than two hundred wolves. ; ; General Putnam. Among the worthies who figured during the era of the American Revolution, perhaps there was none possessing more originality of character than General Putnam, who was eccentric and fearless, blunt in his manners the daring soldier without the polish of a gentleman. He might well be styled the Marion of the North, though he disliked disguise, probably on accoont of bis lisoinff. which was TerT aDt to orerthrow anJ tnokery he might have in view. At the time a strong-hold called Horseneck, Ibvujv 'unco buuto tic . inn, wh iu pussrsaiuu of the British, Putnam, with a few sturdy pat- nm. mil.. . VT V V. - rioU, was lurking in the vicinity bent on driving j them from tbe place. Tired of lying in ambush, I the men became impatient, and importuned the General with questions as to , when they were going to have a bout with the foe. One morning he made a speech something to the follow ing effect, wbicb convinced them that something was in the wind j "Fellers You have been idle too long, and so have I. I'm going down to Bush's at Horseneck in an hour with an ox team and a load of corn If T come back, I'll let you know all the particu- lars; if I should not, let 'm have it, by the ho- ker .

Jo 8ioner did the officers spy him than they begin to question htm respecting his whereabouts and fin ling him, as they thought, a complete S'm ih ton, they began to quiz him, and threaten ed to o-iz-- bi- corn aiid fodder. "Ho-v much do you ask for vour whole con sarn?" they inquired. "ior marcy 4 sake, gentlemen," replied the mock clod-hopper, with the most deplorable look of entre tty, "ouly let me off, and you shall have my hull team and load for nothing! And if that won't dew, I'll give my word I'll return to-roor. row, and pay you heartily for your kindness and cond soensinn 'Well," said they, "well take you at your word. Leave the team and provender with us, and we won't require any bail for your appearance." Putnam gave up the team, and sauntered about for an boor or two. gaining all the information that he wished. He then returned to his teen, and told them of the disposition of the foe, and his plan of attack. The morning came, and with it sallied put the gallant band. The British were handled with rough hands, and when tbey surrendered to Gen. Putnam, the clod-hopper, he sarcastically re marked "Gentlemen, I have only kept my word. I told you I would call and pay you for your kindness aud condescension." ... An ingenious mind feels, in unmerited praise, tbe bitterest nprooLBostuct. ...

Resolved, That the natural law, giving to every human beiog tbe right to live, to that liberty which is necessary to cherish aud protect life, obtain knowledge and prepare for Heaven, ia but the clearly revealed will of God. 2. That to euslave iunoceut men and women, paralyzing the moral faculties, shutting out the light of truth from the understanding, and com pelting them to drag out an earthly existence amidst the gloom and darkness of moral death, constitutes one of the most aggravated violations of God's will, one of the most momentous crimes presented to human consideration, 3. That the turpitude of this crime rests on all who capture, enslave, import, sell, purchase, hold, re-capture, or re-enslave human beings; or all who aid, encourage, pass, approve, or enforce ctmems for the capture, enslaving, holding. re-capture, or. re-enslaving of God'a images, and the persons thus ofT-udiu will be held respousit ble at the bar of G d. - 4. That governmenU are constituted amoug meu U secure the etij?yiueut ot human righ'.s, and they hold noauthority u violate the will of God by depriving the humblest individual of his libt-rty ; that Congress iu parsing tbe fuigitive slave aot of 1850, couferred 110 right upon blave-catchers to capture and enslave, to recapture or re enslave men, nor did they impose upon any perso'i the duty to submit to such capture or enslavement, nor is the law of God, nor the inalienable right of man, changed or modified by such enactments, nor are our Christian duties to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, protect and defend the laws and liberties of ourselves and fellow men, impaired or changed by the enactment. 5. The said Fugitive Slave act does not command that which is; wrong it comes wrhin no description of iaw, ai d poscesses no essential element ofJaw it is an assertion of the will of slave-holders, and not the will of God: it is the manaate 01 Despotism, ana not tne statute or the law of a Christian people: to maintain it is to uphold slavery in its worst and most revolting features to permit its enforcement on the soil of Ohio, constitutes a surrender of the rights and dignity ot our oiate and tbe liberties of our peo pie, - ' C. That irrespective of political organizations. we will vote for no man for office who hesitates to assert, and to the extent of his religious, moral. and political influence, maintaius the right of our State and its people to be entirely lustrated and exempt from the expense, the guilt and dis grace of supporting the slavery of other States. These resolutions, with one or two verbal 1 mendments, were adopted. In the afternoon the following additional resolutions were offered by the Rev. Mr. Thome, of this city. 7. Resolved, That it is the duty of Christians and of Christian ministers to bear faith fui testimony againai the sin of slavery, ecclesiastically socially, and politically, through the- pulpit and the religious prss, and to carry the wrongs of tne oppressed to the throne of grace 10 impor tunate prayer, that God may speedily deliver them that are in bonds. 8. Resolved, That to have any voluntary agen- cv. official or otherwise, in the recapture or ren dition of a fugitive slave, is incompatible with Christian character, and unless repented of, should be punished by excommunication in the case of any church member guilty of the crime against humaoity and God; that this Cinventioh do therefore approve of the act of excision pas sed recently by the Market street Baptist Church of Zanesville, Muskingum county, against a mem ber who. in the capacitr of Deputy U. S. Mar- shhl, restored a fugitive to his claimant in Vir ginia. . 9. Resolved. That the example of the Oherlin Wellington Rescuers io patiently suffering a long imprisonment for their; noble disregard of the unconstitutional and unchrintian Fugitive Slave Act. not accepting deliverance on anv terms that would compromise principal and weaken the moral effict of their act and testimony, and fi nally triumphing over the Government, and gaining a release bonora le to themselves, but dis graceful to their p-osecutcrs, and humiliating to the slave powr. meets our heart v com mndation and calls forth our gratitude to Gid, whose wisdom guided and wb we grace sustained them. The principal debate, says tbe Ohio Sli.e Jonr- noJ, the Central Republican organ, took place on a motion to strike out the reference in the 8ih resolution to the action of the Zanesville Baptist Church. Tbe friends of this motion argued that (he Convention ought to be general and not par ticular in its action, and that it ought not, there fore, to particularize the present case. Those opposed, contended that it was an example in the providence of God which ought, to be held up to general imitation. ' A great number spoke in regard to the matter but those were the points of the discussion. r Tbe amendment was finally, yielded, and the resolution passed as originally offered. . f . f : The same paper gives a synopsis of the remarks of Protestor Peck, of Oberlio, one of the indicted for wilfully obstructing- tba law of the United States, which we give V ia full, as we fiud Utn tbs AbolitioD organ at Colambas. The Journal says :, . . . - ; . .,: In speaking to tho amend meat. Prof. Peck enlarged opon the duty of Christians io the present time. ' Ha thbaght that they had too- generally suffered the conduct of affairs to fall into the hands of politicians. He said they should eh Ur the political arena with other", snea, but should bold themselves as a reserved force, to throw their strength always in favor of the right. V The pow-erwhicb'a few Christians exerted opon politics was marvelooV IN - THE CONVENTION WHICH ASSEMBLED HERE IN-JUNE.IT WAS ILLUSTRATED. VA FEW MEN FROM THE NORTH HAD SAID TO THAT CON VE3TI0H THAT A JUDGE ELECTED lack BY - EIGHTY 'THOUSAND MAJORITY. SHOULD GO DOWN FROM HIS SEAT, BECAUSE SHE HAD FAILED TO HONOR CHRISTIAN SENTIMENT. AND HE WAS DEPOSED. TO BE SURE POLITICIANS HAD SfNCE ATTEMPTED TO GLOSS THE PROCEEDINGTBEY SAID ONE THING IN ONE PART OF THE STATE, AND THE OTHER IN : ANOTHER BUT THE FACT REMAINED THE SAME. He confessed that it was a thing hard to bear, wben he lay in Cleve land jail, and re mem be red that be bad helped to put the man in office; by everything that he could do. " He dwelt upon the backward course of Republican journals, which had one been strongly' anti-slavery, and declared that the anti-slavery men wanted no party of conservatism, no party which broke down barrier after barrier of principle, and struggled simply " for the bai- ren triumph of an Opposition, lie bad read in a paper of this citj, a proposition to nominate Chase and Bates for the r residency and vice Presidency, on the white man's Platform oppo sition which ignores the sufferings' and claims of the oppressed. He was glad to believe that these great men would stand upon no such platform. For the first of them he had done much, and he hoped to do more; but if Chase should take that position, his hand should palsy and wither beside him, before he raised it io His favor. He did not care how - soon the nominal party of freedom should fail, when it adopteJanch doctrine. - He then insisted that th-weight of tbe work to be done lay with the Christian yeomanry of the Northwest. When they moved the east would follow. - He therefore-hoped that an aoti slavery convention would beiield on the Reserve this, fall, before - the. politicians bad arranged their wires. . This declaration of Professor Peck, substan tiating the charge made by the Democratic press, and admitted to be true by Judge Spalding, but denied by the Abolitionists in Southern Ohio, that Judge Swau was -'ostracised and de feated for daring to decide the Fugitive Slave Law constitutioual, will fait with blighting effect upon the men map staked their reputation upon a taisehooa. The Statesman, whose reporter was. present; give? facts relative to the Professor's speech that the Journal found it couvenie.u to leave out. It sajs: ' - . . '. :v ; -:" .- Mr. Peck, of Oberlin, spoke upon the first resolution. He wanted this convention of Chris-tiatiS to go home prepared tojeoter the political arena and fight the Slavery question. The cler gy should use every opportunity to meet the question, politically; they should participate in the political primary meetings ministers Bhould panicipate actively, tuey couia make tneir influence felt io politics. He related an iostaucu 1 of the neglect of this point. -The delegates to the State Couvention from Cuyahoga county did uot tulal the wishes of the people of that county ia votiog as they did, aud it was owing to the neglect of Christians ia not participating In the primary elections. Had they done so, a different set of delegates would bae be&f sent to Columbus. He exhorted miuialers to- Articipate actively in political movements in a iritis likathis. When prominent meu defead-th Fugitive Law as Tom Corwin did, it became Christians to say to such leaders, "We have dona with you." If such sentiments as Cor win's were denouncedJboJdly by Christians, and a; separation threatened, they would soon be silenced forever. There was a notable example of the efficacy of the partici-patioa of ministers io politics before our own eyes, in tbe fate of Judge Swan. A scanty number of devoted Christiana secured bis defeat. They told their brethren in couvention that after his decision he should not be nominated, and he was not. The press aud speakers of Southern Ohio are trying to make the people believe that that was not tbe reason 01 his defeat that there was nothing in that story; but said the speaker, there is something ia it. The Republican party was so anxious to get into power that it allowed, all sorts of conservatism to come into it, but this must not be. It must have a well-defined platform a platform embracing the interests and welfare of all men, regardless of clime, creed, or color. He had been aston ished by a weekly paper in this city proposing in a series of articles a distinguished citizen of Columbus an President and a slave-holder of Missouri as Vice President. I mean Governor Chase. The papers containing these articles were widely circulated in the Northwest. .They ignored the great issue; and proposed to elect Chase and Bates, upou a diabolical platform, was horrified at the idea. . Mr. Giddings Where is Chase? Let us hear him upon the subject. 4 Mr. Peck He is not present, hut f have the best assurances that he had nothing to do with this scheme, ofid not endorse it, did not sustain it.- .:' --.-'.'.'' -v--'-:- -::'--""' : The resolution was then adopted. - - - After this, we trust to have no more denial of the fact that Judge Swan was slaughtered in the Republican Convention, for the able decision be rendered ia the so called Rescue case. He was struck down for a judicial decision that every good Lawyer iu the Republican ranks approves as sound law, aud yet, pandering to the fanatic ism f the Abolitionists, who are anxious to involve the State and the National Government in a conflict, they did that which the majority knew to be- wrong, and which will be condemned by tbe people. We continue oar extracts from the report in the Statesman: Mr. Brown objected to the second resolution and doubted tha expediencv of endorsing - the I Zuesvi!le Baptist Church in the expulsion of Mr. Cox.' H moved to strike outthelasi clause. Mr. L. L- Rice, of Columbus, said tbe reaaou for expelliug Mr. Cox was that be lied about it-be used deception and falsehood. Liars," be said, "shall have their- part in the lake which burns without end." He accordingly condemned Mr. Cjx to that unpleasant element without mercy. -.- " - . -'- : , . j ; ; , Tbe Rev. Mr. Piooey, of the Zanesvilla Bap list Church, said that he bad no knowledge of their beiug any accusation wf lying against Mr. Cox. Ue never beard of it if there was, and though there was nothing in it whatever. Fa ther Rice's feelings at this point were by no means pleasant, as was manifested by bis appearance. ; . Mr. Gid dings said their- proceedings would go to- Europe, ad he did not want the noa religious people there so tbiuk their ac ion . was merely of an ecclesiantical character., H bought it. eel' ter to establish general rpriaciples witbout specifying cases-He; moved .to .amend by striking' out all after .the word ,, cbaracter- ta th resola- . -fThe Rev.

This little epi sode appeared to be a sort 01 trial of strength between Giddings and bis colored Brother Shel ton, and the result was that tbe man of the Bloody Manifesto was ingloriously "floored." . The remaining resolution was adopted without debate.' ' ". It must have been a sight to see Joshua 3. Giddings beat in a convention of his friends by a negro. He can beat any white man, in preacb-oiggerism, but whea Joshua and the . darkies meat,' then comes tha tug of war, and long heels and fiat nose beat the Great Agitator in the bouse of his friends. ' We have devoted more space than we well can Spare, to the resolutions and speeches of this so called Christian Anti Slavery Convention. We trust theproceedings will : be read by all our old Clay Whig friends, and then let them ask themselves if this was the feast to which they were invited if these are the men nod these the principles they are e spec ted to follow and to adopt. Fanaticism, falsehood, and sacrilege appear in every line tbe name of God is invoked and used to aid in treason and lawless violence by men whose pretended love for the right is shown to be false by the fact that scarce a colored man can be induced to live among them, inconsequence of their, cruel treatment. amur DE2I0CEATTC COUNTY CONVENTION.

Many men in this section of the State are act ing with the Republican party who, in the days of Whiggery,: were denominated Henry Clay Whiga They seem to labor under the impression that Clay would approve their present poli;ical association, were be alive. They do not mean to be inconsistent, or to give their sanction to prin ciples or measures that -are pernicious; but prejudice against the Democratic party has obscured their perception to such an extent that they do not comprehend the aims and purposes of the Republican orgatization in their length and breadth. Clay has left on record bis views where by his old followers can be guided. By reference to the Daily &tolo Gazette, of November 25. 1&50, the conclusion of the speech made by Henry Clay at Frankfort, Ky oa the 15th of November, 1850, will be found, and near the conclusion of that speech he uses this language: "If the agitation in regard io the FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW should continue and increase, and become alarming, it will lead to the formation of two new parties. ONE FOR THE UNION. AND THE OTHER AGAINST THE UNION. Present parties have been created by the division of opinion as regards systems of National policy; and as to finance, free trade, or protection, the improvement of river and harbors, the distribution of the proceeds of the soblie lands. Ac; but these system of policy, springing ontojn (As aaiAinxsiraixon oj the government of ihe ut ion, lose all their interest aiid importance if that Union is to be dissolved.

No one,. e think, can misapprehend Mr. Clay's meaning as thus expressed. There are in Ohio, as throughout the Union ac ally bat two par ties the Democratic and Republican; the Moo for tha Union and the other against '.he Union." The Democratic party is FOR "THE UNION, THE CONSTITUTION; AND THE ENFORCEMENT, OF ITS LAWS."- In striking down Judge Swan, in nominating Dennison far Governor, who wrote a sympathising letter to tha ten thousand nuilifiera who assembled at Cleveland in May, and declared the Fugitive Slav Law "in conflict with the Constitution, and therefore void," and the Republican State Convention demanding "the repeaTof the Fugitive Stava Act of 1850, as subversive of both the tights of the States and the liberties of the people, and a coutrary to the plainest duties of humanity and justice, and as abhorrent to tha civilized world,1' the Republican party has boldly' aud defiant! proclaimed itself as not for "the Union, the Coa-i stitntinn and tho nrnrnm..! r :, t.. w. ia.,, - air asmuch, therefore, as the Whig party has been "merged into a contemptible Abolition party, and Abolitionism" has been "engrafted on the Ifhi creed," Clay would, were he alive and in Ohio, make good bis declaration of '50 and "RENOUNCE TITF.

The Republican Scjilinel pub luhed at Canfield, in Mahoning county, the pll at which the meeting iras held, iu iba usue of that paper of the 21st of July, states the facts of the case in the following truthful article! Jcihje Ravxet. The report circulatiuv ney participated in an anti-slavery meeting in Can field, in 1850, denounced the fusiitive slave law, and advocated a certain set of resvlutious adopted on that occasion, is simply an untruth. 7iuu icicucu mj iu uitu t uuge tvaouey tfutr ti t f I A H1AM than . iujf f . . . . . regarded at the time, as, nor called uudor th head of anti-slavery.

Il had listened to the vehement declamations of others, and in response to his own name, ad dressed the meeting-in a very few words, and not to the import, as stated by Republican pa pers. The full substance of Judge Rnney s rv marks, as can be testified to by tbo who era present, was, that he had not seen a copy of tha iaw, aou was ignoraut as to its provibious, consequently he was not prepared to express his views fuUy In regard to it, but that he did not believe the law to be as bad at represented, and if it was, we had a proper constitutional remedy and so long as this right existed, the full power to correct evils of this kind rested with the people, and he would counsel no other measure. Now, how far will the facts bear the ta- out in asserting that he endorsed tie resolutions. Tim committee were absent but a very short time, and returned whilst Ranney was yet speaking, when that gentleman immediately gave way, aud left the court honaa. nor did ho rt iirn iKai ninir ii a rA nr mm th.m nr9 Vi. ... n ....... quent time. The recklessness of the charge against Judge Ranny may be inferred from tbe fact that the same authority pats down Hon. S. W.
