list of July. Two stages leave Independence on
the first Of every month. The Independence

will be recollected that the period during which
the Turkish government agreed to detain Kos
suth and his companions, in order to pacify the
Austrian and Russian Governments, was one
year. The term expires during the present
month, and the Vienna Cabinet are now en-.
deavouring to procure its extension, by setting uE
the bubble that the time was to be computed
from the date of his transportation to Asia
The Turkish Government resist this demand
and have appealed TO the Representatives Of
France and England for their opinion with res
pect to it. Meanwhile, it is said measures have
already been taken TO procure passage for the
refugees on board Government vessel, either K
England Or America as they may desire.

THE TRUE REMEDY.

We would respectfully suggest to our South
ern friends whether it would not be well to mark
those States in which the Fugitive Slave Law is
successfully resisted, and resolve not to make
purchase of any kind from those States. There
seems strong disposition in portions of Massa-
ehusetts to resist the law. Let the South OBJ
serve the result and if this disposition is carried
out so far as to prevent Southern men by vio-
ence or fraud from receiving their property, let
the South never hereafter buy dollars worth OF
the productionsiof Massachusetts. 1t appears
that in the great manufacturing town of Lowell,
Massachusetts, large meeting has been held,
at which it was resolved TO call back three flu
gitive slaves who had fed from that city to
Canada, with pledge that they should be pro-
tected from arrest by the citizens Of Lowell.
That place is the great manufacturing interest OF
Massachusetts and gains its livelihood by the
manufacture of the products of slave labor. II
also sells large quantities of its manufactures to
the South. Let the South then mark LOWELL.
Let associations be formed in the Southern States,
and resolutions passed not to purchase any ar
tcle ofany Northern State or city in which the
law respecting fugitive slaves is successfully re.
