ANOTHER SLAVE cAsE.-OtIiccrs Nasa and Bou.
dino yesterday arrested two persons, male and fc-
male as fugitive slaves.
The male jacob Davis is claimed by Mr.. Goedc-
nough Of ~ c., the female Margaret Mcclure by
NJ. Harman Of Virginia.
They both acknowledged themselves TO be slaves
and were ordered be delivered 10 their respective
owners.
After this decision had been made the abolilions,s
go, notice Of the affair and have instituted legal pro-
ceedngs, which will cause much delay, expense and
trouble Their end seems to be to make every slave
claimed cost more than his worth in law expenses
In this they will almost invariably succeed.

pie or in practice. Does the writer Of the
Letter pretend that there are none in this
country whose practices favor aristocracy :
And how shall we know any thing Of their
principles but by their practices Who
that prelends to any discernment between
VIVA, is truly republican and what is aristo-
cratic In the conduct Of men, cannot discern
a large class throughout our country whose
conduct plainly asks for themselves that
they be distinguished by their rank and
opulence?"
The fact that the Constitution of the
United States prohibits the establishment OF
a government in this country, under the
name Of an arisiocracy, is no more an objec-
ton to the present use of the terms, Gr'sto-
crot and Gtistocrdcy than the fact that
the Constitution prohibits the taking of the
life, liberty or property OF any man, with
out due process Of law, is an objection 10 the
use Of the terms, nlanstealer and mdnsfedl-
ing, as applied to certain men and practices
in this country. In spite of the prohibitions
Of the Constitution, there is practical man
stealing in the United States-so there is
practical aristocracy; and we see no more
objection TO the use that is made of terms ir
the latter case, than in the former.

FRANCE.--ANoTHER ATTEMPT TO
KILL THE KING.-A new attempt upon
the life Of the King has been discovered.
His intended assassin was a machinist
named Champion, and his intention was
10 destroy the King by an internal ina
chine, which is described as small box,
only seven or eight inches long, by three
or four deep, in which We're ranged nine
teen pistol barrels. pointing in diff; rent
directions, seven in one row, and six in
each Of the others. His mention was 10
wayIav the King, while proceeding to
NeuilIy, and getting as near the royal
carnage as he could, discharge the pis-
tolls by means of slow match and a
train.
The police had information by an
anonvmou: letter, Is days before Cham
pon was arrested, and all his proceedings
were watched. He iH2de no secret OIL
his purpose, when arrested. A r"n:her
OF other persons were arrtsed, on sus
picior of being concerned in the plot.
Another paper describes the machine
as foot in length and ten inches in depth
and width. The Drot says it was only
model ola large machine which Cham
pion was engaged in constructing.--
Champion hung himself with his cravat
in the cell to which lie was conveyed
