We learn from the New York Commercial
Advertiser that, at meeting Of the Board Of
Managers of the New York State Colonization
Society, held on Tuesday evening, much inter-
estinp information was received from the Re
public of Liberia. The corresponding secreta-
ry read letters from a number Of applicants who
are anxious to go out as soon as a convenient OPP
portunity presents itself. About forty are now on
the Society's book, who will go out this fall OF
early in the spring. Among the number are
the slaves Of young gentleman now a student
in the Protestant Episcopal Theological Semi
nary, who will liberate them provided the So
ciety will send them out. Another fact con
nected with this liberal offer is, that it being
ascertained that some Of his slaves are con-
nected by marriage with others on neighboring
plantations, he will endeavor to purchase those
also, in order that families may not be sepa-
rated.

at the prospect of the establishment of line o.

IMPORTANT LETTER FROM THE PREsIDENT.-The
following letter from the President will be read
with great satisfaction by every true friend of the
Union Of the States. 1t ia addressed to Dr. Robert
Collins of Macon, Georgia. in relation to the slaves
who escaped from that place to Boston, and about
whom there has been much excitement recently
among the blacks and Abolitonists of that city. 1t
gives us an explicit public assurance, of what those
who know the President could never for moment
doubt, that he would do his duty in regard to the
fugitive law, to all other laws of Congress- This
he will do, by employing all the powers confided
to him to enforce the law-military and civil--and
# any officer, charged with duty under the law
fails to perform it, the President will remove him.
and appoint another in his stead, who will do his
duty.
1t must be regarded as fortunate, in the crisis
that has fallen upon the country, that we have such
a man at the head Of the Government as President
Fillmore has shown himself to be.

stranded on the 9th Of September last, on a
coral reef at the northern extremity of the
Island of Mayo, one of the Cape de Verde

island and the Island of Bonavista. The stu
alton of all on board was for some time ex-

of her officers and the good conduct of her
crew, her boats were launched and all hands
were saved. Her officers and crew were re-
ceived on board of the United States ship Dale.

That the letter Of the President will be denounced
by the Disunion papers and orators in Georgia and
the South may be expected. They would not be
true to their vocation If they did not Their North
allies and co-agitators will doubtless do the
same. The disunionists of this meridian will ridi-
culc it as "get-ofl," containing assurances
that the law will be enforced; while the Boston null
lifers will denounce Mr. Fillmore as the pledged
tool of the South. Thus we viii have the Charles
ton Mercury and the New York Tribune, Mr.. Rhett
and Frederick Douglass, and Southern disunionists
and Northern fanatics, uniting together for the I'M
holy purpose Of continuing the agitation, and
finally destroying the Union. Though differing as
wide the poles asunder-the one seeking TO
propagate slavery, the other to cItirpatc it-they
labor together, and each other with the view to
help themselves in their selfish and reasonable
designs.
Let the North stand by the compromise, and with
the assurance contained in the Presidents letter
that the fugitive law shall be enforced the agita-
ton in this latitude will die out, and the disorgan-
izers be blasted to the earth The people have had
enough of excitement. Men arc sick oft Andif
the Union Wings and Democrats of the North will
unite with the Union Wings and Democrats of the
South, upon the platform Of the late compromise it
will be stopped and the Government relieved from

series of resolutions were adopted, avowing
the cause of the Union to be sanctifed trust

serting that the Fugitive Slave Law is in ac-
cordance with the Constitution; declaring that
we are a laws abiding community; reposing conf
dence in the readiness of a majority of the peo-

Of such laws; and declaring that the series of
statutes enacted during the late session of Con-
gress We're passed in spirit of compromise and
patriotism; and that they are in no respect a
departure from the Constitution.
A letter from JAMES BUCHANAN, excusing
himself for not personally answering the invi-
tation to attend the meeting, was read, in which
he declares it as his solemn opinion that, in
order to preserve the Union, it is necessary to
rebuke and put down agitation in the North
in regard TO Southern slavery. He censures
the fanatcism of the North on that subject, and
refers to JACKsoN's message in 1885, when

should be false to every sentiment Of patriotism,
could we withhold from her noble delegation
in Congress the tribute which is their due. In
times of agitation and convulsion they have
been moderate, earnest, and faithful. When
seditious and extreme opinions have been rife in
our halls of Legislation and in our popular as
semblies, they have preserved an equanimlty
that has enabled them to hold an even balance
between the North and the South, and TO
preserve their love for KENTUCKY without
losing their loyalty to the UNION. For
how much of this sentiment the country are
indebted TO the efforts of the extraordinary
man, who has rallied about him in his old
age the friends and the enemies of half a
century Of political conflict, we will not un-
dertake to divine. 1t is enough that KEN

LETTER FROM THE PREsIpENT.-An interesting
letter from the Executive of the United States to
citizen of Georgia appears in columns this
morning. The Presidents views and intentions
respecting the Fugitive Slave Law, and its enforce
ment, set forth very clearly, and with explicit
assurances that leave no room for any one to de-
ceive himself if there any disposed, to the
earnest and steadfast purpose Of the Executive to
give efficiency to the law, by the use if necessary,
of all the means which the Constitution places at
his disposal.

The FUGITIVE SLAVE CRAFTs-LETTER FROM
THE PREsIpENT.-The owner of the fugitive slaves,
Crafts and his wife, having written to the President
respecting the difficulties his agents experienced
at Boston, in their attempts to recover the fugi-
tves the President instructed the acting secretary
of the proper department to answer the communi-
cation in the form given below.
We honor Mr.. Fillmore for the
calm, dignihed, dispassonate treatment of the sub
ject. We honor him equally for the confidence he
reposes in the North, and for the Just counsel he
gives to the South, with respect to their mutual re-
lations to the Fugitive Slave Law. We cannot see
how such views can fail to meet cordial response
every where, and we cannot help suspecting the
patriotism Of any men who can find in the Presi-
dents sentiments cause of umbrage or excuse for
denunciation. Yet certain papers in the South
have denounced the letter as an eectioneering
manGuvre, in the very face of the fact that Mr.
Collinss letter. dated at Macon, Georgia. late as
the Sd of November, asked for reply, and re-
piled to almost by return of post-a courteous
promptness, especially when the irregular charac
ter of the application is considered, which ought to
have satisfied the South that the President was as
desirous of showing them good will any man well
could be. Had he delayed declined reply these
same papers would have made that the occasion for
reproach.

cation, he comes directly to the point, and ex-
The patriotic and Courageous position however,
which he has taken does not at all surprise us.
We felt the same confidence in him before tho
election as at this moment. We thought wo
understood the breed of Wings to which he be-
longed, and find that were not mistaken.
Without ostentatious professions Of peculiar devo-
ton to any one section, he ia just 10 all and does
his DUTY, as a true and faithful officer, un-
der the Constitution and the Laos. No man, in
our humble opinion, has occupied the Executive
Chair OF the United States, since the days OF George
Washington, who flied il with more dignity, firm
ness, fidelity. and patriotism, than Willard Fill
more.

The PRESIDENTS LETTERING need not invite
attention to President Fmore's letter to DR.. Col
Inns, Of Macon, Georgia, which will be found on
the first page. 1t is, in every sense an excellent,
an admirable one-breathing the true spirit, and
intoxicating sentiments which should be entertained
by all good Americans, whether of public or pri-
vatc station, in these and at all other times.
1t is not the least merit Of the President in this
letter that he does not countenancc the injustice,
practised by some other persons, of doubling the
loyalty of any portion of his fellow citizens, and
that he expresses too much manly confidence in tho
patriotism and law-abiding character of the good
people of Boston to believe that it will be
cessary TO call in any extraordinary aid to execute
the laws in their community We would have
such belief encouraged in regard to all the people
all parts of the United States. 1t ia the only opinion
which is worthy of them.

which occurred in this city on Saturday night

on Saturday evening about O'Clock, in an
intoxicated condition, and with jug of whis-

man sleeping IN an adjoining room, and com
menced a quarrel. Finally, after ordering
the young man to bed again, he took down
his rife and fred at his wife, the bullet gra-
zng her shoulder. He then struck her
several blows on the head with the butt of e
gun, MASKING in her skull. She died almost
instantly. The young man entered the
apartment. but fearing Tor his own life, fled
TO neighbours for assistance. On his return
with Others, Carlisle was seated on The edge
Of bed, dead. He had pulled off one boot

and with his toe discharged 1.-THE bulle
