He was very POLITELY told that he not safe in the

very anxious about his safety. The officers OF the
law all declared, without trying, however, that they
could not execute the law.'' Al
On Saturday last we had long and interesting
conversation with distinguished citizen of this State
who accompanied the Fayetteville gentleman OF whom
the Carolinian speaks, to Boston, with the view Of
retaining some escaped slaves. The slaves had
been in Boston, but had left before their arrival, as
they were at length informed by Police officer who
consented to serve them. This was the Information
they received but there is certainty 1t was cor
rect. The slaves may be there now, concealed by
the Aboltonists but if their owners had succeeded
in getting them in possession, under an order from
Judge or Commissioner, we have no idea, from all
that we have learned. that they could have returned
in safety with them, or indeed have brought them
back at all. They would have been compelled to en-
counter mob in Boston. and mobs in Worcester,
Springfield. and Hartford, on their way home-mobs
of thousands of excited whites and furious blacks
which no posse coh1iIatus called out by the Mar
shall could have resisted or PCT down. George
T hompson the English Abolitonist is received with
shouts and honors in Fanueil Hall, and Amin Bey,
the Envoy of Mohammedan despot, is toasted and
dined in the City of Boston, while two of the most
intelligent and respectable citizens of North Carolina
who had gone there in the exercise of their legal Con-
stitutional rights, are foiled in their efforts to
get sight of their propertyther footsteps logged by
enemies-and they advised to leave forthwith to avoid
insult and injury TO their persons! Is this the Union
which our fathers formed In connection with this
subject we ask attention the following article from
the Southern Press:
ssTHE BosToN ENTERTAINMENTS. The Boston pa
pers are filled with of the delicate attentions
paid and the fraerna feelings expressed by the cti-
of that place to Amin Bey, the Turkish ambas-
sador. as. -A s....s.. .a. -.-t ar~S.
The reception of the ambassadors from Georgia
was equally warm, but not quite so fattering-the
Bee of that city, thus decately insinuatlng to them
that their absence was advisable:
elf these Southern slave hunters were our partic-
uar friends, would by all that is safe and sound
in the human face body, advise them to leave the
city. From the mobocratic spirit exhibited yester-
day, it certainly is not safe to remain here. Notwh
do, their lives in jeopardy. They cannot go
through streets without the fear Of assault. The
feeling is fully roussd in the breasts of many visit
them with the utmost violence. We seriously regret
this, but nevertheless cannot evade the fact. -
Mr.. Webster, it seems, aided in doing the honors
and eulogzing the Union the Turkish entertain-
ment, but did not observe that Mr.. Webster inter-
fered stop the outrageous proceedings of his fellow
when insult was heaped on the amhassa-
doris from Georgia, for relying the professions of
these derders of disunion that the Constitution

We certainly do not demur at any exhibitions of
hospitality of courtesy: but it must suggest pain.
