MORE FoGERY AND AN ARREST.

There seems 10 be quite mania for forgery
in this city aud vicinity, and Tor carrying il 10
a pretty heavy extent. We have mentioned
some cases within few days, aud have another
to record Yesterday afternoon, lad named
Emmerson presented 10 the Bunker Hull Bank a
forged check drawn on the President of the
Bank, to the amount of 81, 934 so. The fogery
was detected, and the Cashier OF the Bank in-
CURED of the lad where he had got it, The lad
said man in the street had handed it to him,
and asked him to go into the bank and get The
money for it, and meet him at a stated place.
The cashier called officer Sanderson, and with
a view 10 detect the iorger, gave The boy a
handful of banknotes, and started him in the di-
recton Of the spot appointed for the meeting
But the man was not at his post according to
promise but kept shy.
AS officer Sanderson approached the National
House, however, he saw man look cunnlngly
around the corner and dodge quickly back. The
officer fastened 10 The spot and the man took ia
his legs at full speed TO get out OF sight San.
derson saw officer Chamberlain at little dis
lance, in a fit position easily to catch the runa-
way when he should have ran little farther
and Sanderson sung Out, "That is the rogue ~
In less than minute the rogue was in the arms
of officer Chamberlain. The man was recog-
nized by the boy as the individual who gave him
the forged check. He gave his name as Owen,
and said he belonged in Boston. He was COM
mittel for examination. Some people have a
suspicion that this individual may know some-
thing of the forged check that was presented at
the Fsesmans Bank some days since.

ODD-FELLOWS' PROCESSION.

We learn that the Odd-Felow's procession in
Fairfield last Thursday came off in handsome
style. A large number Of Odd. Fellows from
this place were in attendance. The Sons OF
Temperance also united in The procession, which
presented beautiful and imposing appearance.
A large crowd spectators We're in attendance,
among whom were many of the fair daughters OF
Rockbridge whose presence greatly enlivened g.
graced the scene An i appropriate and hand
by J. Mcdowell Taylor, of Lexington, and an
admirable dinner was prepared for the occasion
by the ladies' of Fairfield with their characleris-
tic lberality. The celebration passed of in the
most pleasant manner and the day is represent
ed as a gala one for Fairfield, Gaxets.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
WAYNE.

We gave an account of the first case which
has occurred in Philadelphia, under the Fusi-
live Slave Law, i'll our paper of Saturday last
aud, although The fugitive was released, it was
from no iudisposition on The part of the Judge
TO enforce The law, but from defect in the les
limony offered by The claimant. Judge Griel
expressed his determination 10 cary the law
iuto effect, and 10 call in The aid of the u s
troops in case OF resistance by The negro popula.
ton. The language of the Judge on this point
was very emphatic, and will warn The colored
population OF Philadelphia of the danger they
will incur 10y undertaking 10 oppose the execu-
lion of the law.
The negroes in several of The free States have
been greatly excited against the Fugitive Slave
law by The lnllammalory appeals of white abo-
lnionsis: and we thnk it not unlikely that ca
scs will yet occur in which negroes will attemp,
to defeat the execution OF the law by force oil
arms This is the point TO which their white
allies apparently desire TO bring them. The alb
uilioniss will nstgate the negroes to use pis.
lols and Bowie knives which they have been
persuaded 10 purchase: but in case of conflict
The negroes Mil be lei: 10 protect themselves as
best They ,nay-and thus war OF races will be
commenced. Had the fugitive just released in
Philadelphia been delivered 10 the complainant
and an attempt to rescue been made, there
would have been some bloody work, as JUDGE
Grer distinctly stated that he would enforce the
law at the point of the bayonet, tho he might
have TO wade in blood. We rejoice TO see this
firm and decisive course on the part of Judge
Grer, and hope that it will be initiated by the
proper authorities in all the free States as ii will
tend 10 allay excitement at the South, where The
enforcement of the Fugitive Slave law will be
insisted on as an act OF Justice. We believe it
is the only point upon which the Union can be
at present endangered If fugitive slaves be re-
turned 10 their owners under the law, we do not
think that the admission of California, OR any
other measure passed by Congress will endanger
the harmony OF the Union. But the South will
insist on the right 10 reclaim fugitive slaves,
whatever may be the consequences, and the
North will do well 10 respect this right
AT public meeting held in Philadelphia, the
Fugitive Slave law was denounced as unconsti-
lutlonal If the allegation were as true as it is
false it would not justify forcble resistance OF
the law, whilst there is legal mode of testing
alFsuch questions. Baltimore Cirrcr

THE BOUNTY LAND LAW.

In the following letter from the Secretary OF
the Inferior, there is very important question
decided hich has been raised under the Bounty
Land Law, approved 28'h September Accord,
ing to The Secretary's construction OF ii, no per
son, ii will be seen, can receive more than one
warrant although he may have served a dozen
tours of service, (which, if rendered by several
individuals, would enttle each to a warrant"
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR.
Oct 18th, 1850.
Sal have received your letter of the 9Th
inst, inquring "wheher, under the act approx
ed the 2slh Septhmber, 1885, the same person
can receive more than one warrant, provided he
shows that he has performed more than one tour
OF service emitting him TO land 2"
Although not expressly provided by the terms
Of The law, am clearly oil The opinion that lis
tenor throughout contemplates that The same
person shall not receive more than one warrant,
although he may have performed service which
il rendered by several individuals, would enlitle
each to warrant.

Your obedient servant,

THE BASIS OF REPRESENTATIONS


The discussion of this subject is TO occupy a
considerable portion Of time in the Convention
With some j. is regarded as ':vcxed question, y
but 10 us no!hiuy seems clearer than that the
uhite basis is the true republican ba.i. Of repre-.
sentation, AMI the wonder is why men will con-
tend against proposition so manifest. We do
moi now Intend to discuss this subject-our OBJ
ect is TO call The attention Of our delegates in
Convention, particularly; TO ibis matter. Ii is
expected, nay, ii is demanded, that Westerll
members present an unbroken front OH this
questlon--and that they compronais: only when
all other means have failed. We are hot so silly
as TO believe tina: The people Of Western Wiz.
ginia will reject Constitution i'll which all
other rights are acknowledged, save ihis--the
day is moi distant when lis adoption will force
itself upon the East-circumsiances are fast de.
velopi'. themselves which will give Western
Vii einia the rreponderaace in our State coup-
cils-il must be >o-no future event eau be more
certain, ald we would not wrangle with our
Eastern nei-hbols, it lhey consent TO fair,
equitable and honorable compromise Members
should approach the discussion win iirnncss,
and with d disposition to conciliate, not TO ha.
rass aud pcrplex. The people of Western Vir-
GINA will demand the adoption OF the mhits
basis, but we can hardly believe they will re.
jeet Constitution because this principle is moi
recognized in its fullest extent, especial, W hen
all The reforms desired ave granted the people
we are, therefore; unwilling, that the hands o.
our delegates should be so tied up, as to prevent
them from effectinga compromise, when all o.
Their means shall have been exhausted aud have
failed to settle the question.
The Augusta Coustilu;ionalist has an editorial
article devoted 10 he desc,iI ton OF polite dis.

and Stephens on the one part; and Mr.. Smyihe,

would settle The slavery question happily, and
