Mr.. DAYToN's SPEECH. A gentleman a
Washington gives the Springfield Republican The
following notice of the speech of Mr.. Dayton of N
Jersey. 1t is source of deep modification to Mas
sachusetts, that while the clarion tones of Seward
and Dayton ring through the capital in defence Of
Freedom, she finds no advocate from our own State,
on the floor of the Senate.
Yesterday listened to the speech of Mr.. DAYTON,
the eloquent Senator from New Jersey. Mr.. Day
ton is large, elegant looking man, of remarkably
digniied and graceful mien, and an orator of really
fine elocution. believe him to be man of whom
the country will hear more than ever has heard
He was listened to with marked attention, and by
no one more closely than Mr. Clay.
Mr.. Dayton spoke on the Slavery question in gen.
eral but the most impressive portion Of his remarks
| do not find reported in the Washington papers this
morning. When abiding TO the position of the
North upon the subject of the extension of Slavery.
there was not the rustic of piece of paper, or a
whisper, in the room. He told the South that the
North sat there, calm, and apparently unmoved,
while the storm of Southern feeling rolled the waves
of excitement, and threw the spray upon their heads
but deep in every heart, firm, inmovable there ex-
listed determination that Slavery shonld never be
extended to Free Soil That was the position of the
North, without disguise, and without modification
There was no dissent no voice raised, all was silent
and all fell and knew that he spoke truth
There was an evident wincing by all the South,
when Mr.. Dayton drew the contrast between the
States of Ohio and Kentucky. 1t was humaliating,
twas hard, and it was evident that the speaker
drew It with reluctance. The argument which he
drew from this, in support Of bis position that il was
no sickly sentiment which pervaded the North upon
Slavery extension, but calm and clear conviction of
Judgment, was very forcible.

SURGICAL OPERATION OF DR. Morn III
most a Miracle We find the following brief report
of an operation performed by DIR Mott, at the Uni
versity, a few days ago in Noahs Times:
A young man had tumor growing out of one of
his nostrlls 1t came, in time, to fill the whole cav
lty, and was as large as hens egg. 1t was so
large, and so extensively and firmly attached that it
was impossible to pull it out with forceps as is done
with .polypi The worthy professor put on his con-
sldering cap and studied out operation; and then
to make all sure, he performed it on dead body
Satisfied of its practcability, he began First, he
made strag int incision from the inner corner ofthe
eye to the mouth through the upper lip; then dis
sected the flesh from the bone SO as to turn all the
tieshy part Of the nose over upon the other side O
the face. This done, he sawed through the bone
and by nice piece of carpenter work, laid open the
whole extent ofthe nostril The tumor was now ex
posed, cut loose, and easily extracted, and the pa
tent got well, without any Disagreement but lin,
where the feshy parts were reunited This wa
an ingenious, bold, and most successful operation

The Fugitive Slave Law.

The effects of this iniquitous law upon
the colored people OF this vicinity have peen
sudden aud startling. 1t has come upon
them us mighty aud resistless avalanche,
buryng their hopes and prospects Tor the
future, aud sweeping away the last vestIge:
OF confidence and trust IN the protection ann
Justice OF the American Government. All,
both the really ee, and the fugitive slave,
alike, feel in danger, and exposed to the
stcnlthy seizure of the slave catcher and Kid
napper. So great is the alarm existing
among our cOlorcd population, that they can
think aud talk of nothing else and we nave
ascertained, from good authority, that more
than one hundred persons, stout, able Dodle"
men, have already left for Canada. O'ir III
ioruant counted fifty five in one company
all well armed, aud resolved to reach Lama
du, or sell their lives in the struggle. ihese
were all fugitive slaves, some OF whom hhd
been here for yenrs, aud lad acquired pro-
perry; others had arrived but recently, some
within few days. Many OF them let wives
aud children, who will follow them; as wen
as houses, horses, carts, drays, &c, which
they had not time to dispose Of Ihey mas
tened from land of slavery, where dangers
hemncd them IN OH every hand, to sou,
the proud boast of which is, that no slave
can breathe there.
This excitement is hy no means confined
to the colored people. Citizens of all clus-
ses and parties feel indignant that the South,
by this law, is compelling them to become,
as it were particeps eriminis in the foul wrong
of slavery-to become slave catchers for the
South. This part of the plan OF pacficallon,
so far from answering its avowed object,
will feuriully increase the agitation III the
free States. No candidate or party will he
able to stand up against the odiun of defend
ing or sustaining such u measure. The cry
OF repeal is already raised, and il will contin-
nc TO he sounded, until the Northern States
Income thoroughly inbued with the Anti
Slavery spirit. The people of the North
were willing TO let slavery alone, provided
they had nothing TO do with it, and incurred
none OF its responsibilities. The South, not
content with this, has forced upon them,
under pain OF heavy penalties, the degrading
legal duIy of assisting in placing the clluin
around the neck OF the poor fugitive, who
has escaped from bondage, and every citizen
of the free States feels himself degraded by
the unnatural, disgraceiul, and unjust posi-
ton i'll which he is placed. The consequence
will be, tlIgt the North will brace herself up
10 oppose The law. aud publIc opmioii, nI
spite OF all its sl,iiIgent provisions, will rem
der it, in u great measure, imperative. twill
be hard, we think, to find the man, in Allie
gheny county, who will accept the Office of
Commissioner under this law. II there be
such one found, he will find hiI1self avoid
ed as u sort of prodigy of ininmy, as unfit TO
enjoy that freedom he is willing to take from
others.-PhSbmgh Gazette.

First Fruits of The Fugitive Bill.

The first case, under the Fugitive Law,
occurred in New York city, and was begun
and closed in quick time. No laws delay
there.
United States Commissioner GARDINER
we like TO be parlicuar-had James Hamlet
before him, last Thursday, light mulatto,
upon the charge of being fugitive slave, the
property of Mary Broi0n of Baltimore.
Proof was at hand. First, colored man,
Thomas J. Clare, swore that Hamlet was a
slave, and second, augustus Bro;cn, son of
Mary BrolCr, clnched the matter.
What i0llowedY
Thomas Clare, miilGiio, was the agent OF
the Bro,Cns, and demanded such aid OF the
United States Marshal us the law profiered.
MIR. TALMADGE, the Marshal, said he would
have TO do his duty (braye fellow y if called
upon, las though all had not been arranged,)
and tereupon the mulatIo agent OF the
Browns, Care, swore he feared rescue.
The Marshal forthwith took possession oi
Hamlet, the alleged slave; put him into a
concl, accidentally there's handcufied with
irons accidentally close by; and conveyed him
TO Baltimore forthwith.
Such is the first case under the Fugitive
law-begun and ended in a few moments;-
