THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAw.--The Chillicothe
lOhiol Gazette, in speaking of this law, remarks:

IOHiUT Uazeue, ID speaking OF THIS law, remarks:
In reference to the open contempt Of the law which
communities, led by their pastors and spiritual advisers
protesting, we feel constrained say that such conduct
based upon the notions and pudices and conscences
those who exhibit it, is respectable, in reference to
bad law than il would be in regard good On
Pubicans especially does the responsibility Of abiding by
all laws egitimaiely emana,ng from the proper authority
emPhaticay rest Any Southern community would be
acty well, and better, justified in bidding defiance to
the laws admitting California as free State and abolishng
the slavs trade in the District of Columbia"
There was never truer paragraph written than
the above; and we are sorry that greater number
do not, without the suggestions Of such as our
Chilcothe contemporary, perceive and regard its
force. But there are those who do not.

REBELLION IN BosToN. The Boston papers

be incorrect that troops had been ordered to Boston
to quell the rebellion there. They can scarcely
believe that the exaggerated reports which corre-

of all correspondents, have made would be believed
at Washington. The Boston Traveller, referring
10 the matter, says
"We should like to five six hundred of the best

The Wings have certainly secured the State
Legislature, and will thus be enabled to choose
United States Senator. In the Senate, which was
elected last year, they have majority Of three
members, and in the House they will probably
have majority of twenty. Last year the Demo
Gratis had the ascendency in the latter body.
In the city Of New York the Wings have been
eminenly successful. They have elected Wing
Mayor, District Attorney, and City Judge; Wing
Governor for the Almshouse three Of the four
Congressman; thirteen of the sixteen Members of
the Legislature two Aldermen, the only members
of that Board chosen this year; and twelve of the
nineteen Assistant Aldermen. The majority for
Mayor is unusually large, being 4,537. Thus,
Win the cXCepuOn OI one MemOer OF congress-,
Qost by split in their own ranks,) and three
members of the Legislature, the Whig victory in
the city is complete.
NEW JERSEY.
We regret to say that the Wings of New Jersey
have not only lost their Governor and the State
Legislature, but also all the Congressman except
one-the Democrats having obtained four out of
the fve to which the State is entitled Though we
apprehended some loss in that State, we were not
prepared for SO unfavorable result as this. 1t is
mainly attributable we suppose, to want Of union
and harmony in the Wing ranks.
The Delegates elected to the next Congress from
this State consist of GEORGE H. BRowN, Whig. and
NATHAN T. STRATToN, CHAs SHELTON, ISAAC VIII
DRIcK, and RoDMAN M. PRICE, democrats, being
gain to the Democrats of three members.
Mr.. FoRT's majority for Governor is upwards
of FIVE thousand. The Wings have elected nine
members to the State Senate, and twenty-five to
the House of Assembly, while their opponents have
twelve Senators and thrty-fve Assembymen.
This gives Democratic majority of thirteen on
joint ballot which will enable that party to elect
United States Senator to succeed the Hon. Mr..
DAYTON at the expiration of his present term Of
service.
