The SLAVE ABDUCTION EXCITEMENT
never heard of more outrageous or audacious
violation of constitutional and personal rights,
than that perpetrated by a gang of abolitionists
and kidnappers in Washington, d. c., few days
since. 1t seems from the published accounts of
the dsgraceful and high-handed affair, that
captain of sloop, belonging to New Jersey, was
employed to entice away from their homes a
large party of negroes, male and female, tho
property of our fellow-citlzens in Washington,
and to convey them to some northern and free
State, from whence 1t was supposed they would
be easily transported to Canada. Happily, how
ever, the villany did not succeed, and the whole
party, the captain and his crew, his cargo of ne
groes, and the vessel itself, were captured and
taken back to the place from which they started,
and are now safely and securely lodged in Jail.
There can be but one opinion entertained of
this daring and high-handed outrage and we
hope the parties engaged in it, and their aiders,
abettors, and employers, if they can be arrested,
will be made to suffer the penalty which they
so Justly merit. A pretty state of things has
come to pass, truly, if set of brainless one
idea fanatics in the North are to be permitted to
endanger the peace and comfort of our fellow
citizens, in defiance of the con stitution and
tHciI own laws, Win lmpunity -tnat NOItncfn
vessels cannot visit the South without being EN-
ployed to carry away our neighbors' property.
We trust that an example will be made Of all
concerned in this proceeding, and penalty in
hicted such as will act as terror to all who may
be inclined to act similar part hereafter 1t
is such fanatics as these that have succeeded in
producing i'll feelings between the North and the
South, by their violent and unlawful proceedings,
conducted for the pseudo philanthropic purpose
of befrending the slave, but for their own sell
fish and traitorous ends-the same men who
agitate the subject for no other purpose than
selfish one, and who, if they themselves were
slaveowners, would be the most cruel and de-
PRAYED Of taskmasters.
BY the terms of the federal compact, the South.
ern States can manage their own domestic at
fairs as they please. If they choose to continue
slavery, they can do so and it is lmpudence and
impertinence TO interfere with their choice.
They have perfect right, too, to make laws for
the protection of their slave property and
when those laws are violated, and the volaters
arrested, we trust the fullest penalty will be in
hicted. Let them make few examples IN this
way, and their moral effect will keep these fana-
tics at home, in the Northern States, where
their rawlings excite only ridcue

THK ELECTIONS IN FRAScE.-The elections for
members OF the National Assembly of France,
took place throughout that country yesterday.
The manner in which they were conducted, the
result, and the mode IN which the persons elect.

If they have been conducted peaceably, and if
