are entertained by that OF his Bri,anic

Blacks Yesterday the Park was crowded with
negroes, lowering around the Police Office and City
Hall. 1t seems that family of colored people was
claimed by their owners in Virginia, and the Manu-
mission Society stepped forward to prevent their
being sen, home but the Magistrates on having full
testimony before them, declined setting them free.
When the negroes without were Intentionally in
formed OF the fact they became outrageous and
threatened to tske the lives Of those concerned. Se
veral OF the officers were roughly handled; Vir.
ginia gentleman had his nose broke; We are told
gentleman narrowly escaped being killed with
poniard, and several persons who claimed the family
were obliged to retreat by the back way"
Thus far the Enquirer and from what we have
heard, the disorderly conduct of the blacks is not
exaggerated. But the editor proceeds to make
comments calculated to give an erroneous view Of
the part taken in this business by the Manumlssion
Society The truth of the matter so far as it
spec's the interference of that very respectable
cety, we believe to be briefly this. The blacks in
question have been in this city, unclaimed, for about
eighteen months. The Manumission Society were
told that they were free, and accordingly took mea
sures their duty required, TO prevent them from
being uDjuslly surrendered into slavery On an in
sestigaon before the Police, however, the teslimo-
ny as to a part of the blacks being claimed, was
clear and indsputable. And III regard to one Of
them, the evidence produced by the pursuers
so questionable that the Magistrates took time until
to-day TO make up an opinion Under these cir
cumstances, We suomi, whether the motives and
conduct Of the Manumission Society should be even
indirectly arragAed. When actual slaves dc run
away from their masters, and take refuge in this
city is the duty OF the Magistrates to cause them
to be delivered up when good and sufficient proof
their tene slaves, is produced Such is the law ;
and the Manumission Society will never raise fin
ger 10 prevent its execution. But as every person
is here presumed to be freeman. it is proper that
the cearest evidence should be required to the
trary before any one should be allowed to be drag
ged into slavery. Com. .idv.
