or We publish on our outside to-day
an interesting letter from President Fill
moro 10 Dr.. Robert Collins, Of Macon,
Ca, in relation to the i'll success OF the
attempt to rescue the fugitive slave,
Graft, in Boston. From the tone Of the
Presidents letter, we cannot doubt his
determination to see the Fugitive Slave
law executed in good faith, and to put
down ali attempts at resistance from the
free negroes and aboIitionists of the free
States. That the law was successfully
resisted in the case Of Graft, and that a
great outrage was inflicted upon Hughes
and Knight, the agents who were en-
ployed TO capture the fugitive, is too
true; and it is much 10 be regretted that
such is the case. At a lime, when there
is much excitement in Georgia, and just
upon the eve Of the election for dele
gates to a Convention called for the
purpose Of considering these very griev
ances, an occurrence like that at Boston
might act upon the public mind in such
a degree as to determine the complexion
Of that body, and turn the scales against
the friends Of the Union, and put beyond
the hope Of salvation the longer exis
tence Of this c~on:ederacy. Much the
larger portion Of the Southern States
are in favor Of the late acts Of Congress
as an entire and final settlement of the
slavery question; but the South, to a
man, expects the faithful execution Of
those enactments, the Fugitive Slave law
no less than the others; and if they
are not en(orced-if the Government
should show any disposition 10 siWink
from responsibility, or to favor, in the
slightest degree, the miserable faction
lists and ahypocriticOl phllanthropists Of
the free States, in their unholy purpose
of denying to the slave owners Of the
South their rights, under the constitution
and the laws-powerFul as the UNION
PARTY of the South now is-determined
-
MS it is 10 preserve the unity Of these
States as long as il can be done with hon
or-;t will dwindle into insigniGcance,
and fade away " like the baseless fabric
Of a vision" leaving not even a wreck
behind. Ifthe fugitive slave law should
not be executed, or if it should be re.
pealed, the South will stand a unit for a
dissolution Of the Union. 1t would then
become a fixed fact, that there is a set
tied purpose on the part Of the North to
deny US our constitutional rights, and
under such circumstances we would
"caviI for the ninth part of a hair
The Union would be no longer worth
preserving-it would be no longer a
Union bound together by common tie:
and interests, but simply a Union o.
States without q single element Of cohe

soul and spirit had departed.
But from the one of the President.
letter, and from the actual assistance he
has already given in the enforcement o.
the law, we have every confidence thai
it will be strictly adhered to, that The
fell spirit Of ranalicism will be dashed
into submission, and that the Union will
be preserved.
We recommend the Presidents letteI
to the perusal Of our readers.

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.

There have been rumors here since Fri-
day last, of military orders and movements
Of troops to Boston, with view to enable
the military conn andant at Boston, 10 aid
the Marshal, if necessary, in the execution
of The Fugitive Law. On Monday, the ru-
mors had assumed the form Of distinct state.
ment, that certain batla lions in Florida had
been ordered 10 Boston. The Secretary of
War, Gen. Scott, and the President, were
much annoyed at the PRONUNCIATION Of The
movement, because it might affect, inJurl'
ouslv, the elections in New York, Mich.
gan. and New Jersey. that were to occur on
the 9th. A clerk in the Adjutant Generals
Office, who had mentioned the order OF
troops from Florida TO Boston, was dismis.
sed by Mr.. Conrad. The orders were coun.
tcrmanded and coutradicted. und explained
away. More trepidation was manifested
| than there was occasion for. Had all the
| rumors been true. they would have amoun-
ted to nothing. The movement of few
companies of troops would not have ,aflec-
ted the subject one way or another.
1t is now said. and believed, TINT soon
alter the elections, the President will give
to the country, in the form ofu Proclama'
ton, his views and intentions in regard to
the execution Of the Fugitive Act. He
will not, probably 60 beyond the measure Of
absolute necessity, ard will make no mill
rary preparations in advance Of the occur
renee of any serious resistance to the law
The elections are over, but we hardly
know, as yet, how they have gone. What
every one hopes is, that rational Wings OF
conservative Democrats have been chosen ia
the N. York Legislature, and to Congress
Upon the New York election will depend
the question whether Congress will be agi'
,ated, during the next three sessions, with
the Seward doctrines, and projects. 1t will
also settle the point whether Mr.. Dickinson
