THE SLAVE CASE IN BOSTON

THE SLAVE CASE IN BOSTON.
The case alluded 10 some days since, has
been at length determined We learn from
the Patriot that the Court have decided that
the slave having been taken by its MASTER
consent 10 Massachusetts,, becomes fee, sla
very being against the policy and settled law
of the Stale and thus the provision of the
Constitution and law of the United States, in
relation TO fugitiyes, does not apply TO case
in which they remove with the masters
consent.
The Patriot thinks legislative provision
necessary for cases OF the sort, 10 avoid the
evil ofprohibiiIng citizens of slayeholdng
States from travelling in Massachusetts with
their families, and TO prevent such of them as
wish &c emancipaIe their slaves from throw
ing them at pleasure npoh the good people
OF that state. We think the latter evil need
not be seriously apprehended.
The case is reported in the Boston Morn
Ing Post, ard we shall take occasion 10 copy
1t for the purpose Of showing the grounds
taken ny the counsel and the court II is
said to be the first decision in any OF the fee
states, upon the pontn question R Comp.

AUXILIARY to the Wayne County Ag
ricultsral Society might be establish
ed in this township, without any dis
advantage to the parent Society; bui
to the great improvement of our agri-
culturaIists. The meetings Of the
present society have been held in
iCentreville, a distance of eight or ten
miles from the residence OF many of
its members in this part of the county,
which makes it inconvenient for them
to attend; but if an auxiliary were
established in this township, they
could meet more frequently, and be-
ing more intimately acquainted with
each other, could communicate their
opinions with less embarrassment.
Almost every farmer has a system
Of his own for the working ofhis farm,
and pursues many practices because
his foreiathers had done so before
him. Every farmer should be ac-
quainted with the elements of most Of
the natural sciences. 1t is fact no
torious, that while the mechanic, the
merchant, and men Of the liberal pro-
LESSONS are forming and carrying in
to successful operation institutes for
their mutual benefit, the farmer gazes
with listless indifference, and thus
moves on through life, without i'm
proving his mind or his estate.
