FUcrrIvE SLAVE Law IN MAssAcHusErrs.-
Much regret (says the Journal of Commerce) has
been expressed by some of the friends of order and
law in this vicinity that the Fugitive Slave Law
could not be enforced as they said) in old Massa-
chuseits. We have told all such persons, when the
opportunity presented itself, that we knew Massa-
chusetts better than they did, and that we had no
hesitation in saying that the law could and would
be enforced there. We are grati6ed to find the
same opinion confidently expressed by the Boston
Daily Advertiser, which, as well as the Boston
Courier, has done excellent service in support Of
the constitution and laws. Says that paper Of the
4th instant:
We begin to observe in Of the journals at the
South as might have been anticipated, severe comments
upon The apparent triumph Of opposition legal authority
IN this CITY, It is much TO be regretted that the demonstra-
ton OF determination TO resist the execution of process
der the Fugitive Slave Law somewhat exaggerated in the
counts which have appeared in various quarters together with
the fact that warrants known have cen issued by the high
est authority have not yet been executed should give much
ground for these comments However plausible may be the
nerences dscredtabe city which are drawn from the
facts as they are stated is premature to judge from the
delays which have occurred and the show Of resistance
when IN TACT none has been made that the law will not
executed There occasion for precipancy in meeting
an ISSUE OF which those who know the people Of the city
Boston cannot doubt the result We have little fear that the
law will be seriously resisted in Massachusetts, and if forc
bly, resisted, will notwithstanding be surely executed"

The Nashville Convention meets, according to
Its own resolution of adjournment, on the llth OF
November. This assemblsge (says the Alexandra
Gaze'te) has fallen into great neglect and its action,
Tor good or for evil, may be of very little public
concern.
Ihls is very true; and so many Of its members
have seeded that it is doubtful if majority of
those who attended the first meeting will appear
again. Even its President has renounced it, and we
are certain Of but one faithful member-Mr. sena-
tor BARswELL,. Of South Caroliua-who has an

Senator FooTE arrived at Jackson, Mississippi,
on the evening of the 18th ultimo. He was well
coined by the firing of cannon, and received the
congratulations Of his fellow-ctizens until late
hour that evening. He was to address the people
in Jackson on Saturday, the 10Th ult. From evi-

canvass large portion of the State before his return

On Saturday last there was great meeting at
Geneva, New York, to sustain the Union and the
Constitution. 1t is described as one of the most
respectable assemblages ever called out on any oc-
casion. The highly respected veteran General
JOSEPH g. SwIFT presided, assisted by twenty
Vice Presidents from Ontario, Seneca, Yates,
Wayne, and Chemung counties. A Committee
OF Safety, auxiliary to that of the city Of New
York, was appointed. Letters from Senator
dickinson and others were read amid much en-
'husasm, and after several powerful and patriotic
speeches by gentlemen present, the meeting ad-
journed with nine cheers for the Constitution and
its defenders.

CONSERVATIVE SENTIMENT IN OHIO.

The fanatical opposition which the Fugitive Slave
Act has encountered in some parts of Ohio, has
drawn out the friends Of the Union and the Laws
in that State, to give public expression to their SEN
timents ia support Of the Peace Measures Of the
late session of Congress, including the Fugitive
Slave Law. Amongst the men eminent for wisdom
and virtue, and for the public esteem, who have
from the retirement of private life sent forth their
opinions in defence of the law, is the venerable
Judge CRANE, so well known and so highly re-
spected for his judicial knowledge and upright
character. gves us great pleasure to lay before our
readers the letter of this venerable and enlightened
jurist. At very large public meeting in the city
Of Dayton, on the 26th ultmo, without distinction
Of party, the annexed correspondence was read:

good feeling and aterna Affection in the earlier years of

THE FUGITIvE SLAVE LAw.-The elaborate and
able debate of this measure, when it was before
Congress. placed our readers SO fully in posses
sion of the reasons for and against it to preclude
the necessity for any further extended argument of
its merits through our columns. A legal gentle
man, however, having taken the trouble to prepare
the history and bearings both Of the late and ante
cedent legislation in regard to ugitives from labor,
we have thought it might not be unacceptable to our
readers to have the whole matter in this embodied
form, and we therefore give place to his article.

This is candid. Doubtless many will suppose, the
committee think wi that the United States had given
land enough without superadding money to it. They would
think upon the very reasonable principle, that when
man had given up half his land quiet claim to it that he
should not pay money for the other half especially when he
believed both halves belonged to himself and when he had
possessed all for two hundred and fifty very
reasonable in such case that would suppose that he
had done enough in giving up half l. myself would
iany be in that But not the committee They
have rule to go by, unknown in trade politics

influence and from feeling of great lbealy, they will
make "oher equivalent" Texas for rslinqushing her
claim the rest Of New Mexico This is the way stands
in the committees bill and report; and give what they say
in their own WORDS that there may be mistake about it.
Now, object to all this object accepting cesson of
New Mexico from Texas FIRST because the United States has
claim to herself and has the actual possession, which
right to possession until the claim s decided Secondly be-
cause the acceptance of such ceson would admit the title
Of Texas to all New Mexico the Rio Grande and
raise questions to disturb both New Mexico and the United
States Thirdly, because give valuable territory
