SLAVE CAsE.-On Wednesday evening, officers
Boudnot and Nash arrested a negro named Will
liam Phelps claimed as a fugitive slave by Mr..
De Witt Kent of Baltimore who has offered a re-
ward of $3.50 for his apprehension. This fellow
was yesterday brought before the Recorder for a
hearing, and his identity being fully made out by
Mr. Kent, and Mr. Steward, from Baltimore, as
we'll as by his own confessions, he was delivered
over to his master,-Comr. T. Eng.
Commend US to fellow who will rob hen roosts
steal sheep or plumber the pennies off from dead
mans eyes to buy whiskey with but the wretch
who for any consideration will aid in dragging
back the fugitive slave to the hopeless toll and tor
lures of Southern prson-house, is capable Of any
act of scoundrelly meanness and black-hearted vii
lany for which language affords no name.

The Anti- Slaoery Lecturer.-We have now
orders for upwards of $4,000 copies annually of
this little paper, and new applications are daily
coming in-some from distant states. We have
thus far printed 10000 copies, but in consequence
of having sent out many specimens of the first
number it is nearly exhausted, and we expect to
be obliged to put it in type the second time.

FIRES ON THE Personalities on our from
tier seem to increase in fearful ratio. For the
last two or three weeks there have been one or
two fires almost every night. Apparently they
are alternately each side of the line Retaliation
appears to be the order of the-N1GHT. We are
not able to state the extent of the burning, but
presume from the number of fires seen from this
place, and whatwe have heard, that quite num-
Der of buildings have been burned the gr eater
part of them barns, and the most of them situat-
ed in Champlain and Odletown In the latter
place we are informed that a large house was
burned on Friday night last, and on the Friday
previous two barns belonging to it Last Sunday
night one or two barns in Alburgh were destroy
ed. We hope to be able to give further particu-
lars next week.-St. Al6ans Messenger 18th.

The hill for the construction of the Erie Rail Road
possed the Assembly w edsesday, by a vote 81 D
10 so, limiting the expenditures 20 Sl2,VW,"o and
leaving the beginning and termination Of the road
open for future survey. Another appropriation OF
81 $50 900 was alss made in Committee 81 the Whole
for the further enlargement Of the Erie Canal. ~
the Senate concur in all these measures, there ~H
be added to the public debt Of the State about f'oenfs
,s;llions in one year; and, an three gears, u NAY
likely be increased to one hundred millions. Wsii'
be il so; the more debt, the nerrer This - the
age of the credit system, and we shall, u possible,
postpone the age of the cash system to the week
after the day of judgment Getting in debt = a
gcntlemanly operation but paying is vulgar and
low bred.
Seriously, however-it is time for the Legislature
to pause nement take sreath and see what they
about On this question: we find that the "Courier 4
Enquirer" still keeps up its abuse OF Mr. Verplanck's
report, and its advocacy Of that outrageous humbus
the New York and Erie Rail Road. This corrupt pa
per has been bought up pursue this by the
same corrupt clique Of spectators that broke down
the whig ticket in this city; and they now seem de-
ternined to break down the wing party through the
state unless they carry out their corrupt plans
They have hired the "Courier" and the " Sun" to
advocate their views; and in fact the whole thing is
an unholy combination Of the locofocc and whig
ulators who endeavoring to saddle the state
with their foolish and worthless speculatons Should
they succeed in inducing the state to take the New
York and Erie Rail Road off their hands, the whole
wing population along the line Of the Canal will
doubt turn refund and defeat the wing ticket next
fall
The only rail road measure worth the attention Of
the State Legislature is the New York and Albany
Rail Read Whilst the line Of the New York and
Erie Rail Road runs through barren tracts, Indian
reservations, and long tracts of beech woods, the
line Of the Albany and New York Rail Road runs
through beautiful marble quarries, beds Of rich iron
ore and other valuable minerals that perfectly
inexhaxstible any finite period Of time, and always
an unfailisg . ,urce of wealth. Again there is no
grade on the whole distance of l47 miles 10 exceed
thirty feet to the mile. The New York and Albany
Rail Road would be the terminating link Of the
northern line Of rail reads leading to Lake Cham
plain, Ontario, and Erie, and will bring passengers
and produce to the Post Office in the city Of New
York. This is a decided advantage. In a military
point Of view, il will be Of the first importance to
connect cur arsenal at Watervliet and the interior
with our commercial capital and seaboard There
fore we must advocate the construction OF this rail
road before any other; and IL other way should
be repaid by the regular transmission Of the mail
Albany in z hours at all seasons Of the year.
