| in short, they are of the white lvered kind who

returns here next week that many OF that class
Of troubles will have the privilege OF mnding
their own business at home hereafter.
| Noahs ~ Y. Sunday times after congratuS
lating itself and the country that the people OF
these great States viii not countenance the
extreme doctrines Of the agitators and abolitioni
lists, remarks:
| Ii the South can be persuaded to be discreet
and calm, and leave the question TO be decided
North Of the Potomac, we do not doubt that q
party friendly to the Union of the States and
nonntervention will oyerwhelm and utterly pros
trate these abolitonists: There s no question
before Congress that can revive the subject Of
slavery. 1t is therefore only capital for votes-
fishing with dangerous hook, which may get
into the gills of the fishermen.
From the Boston Advertiser, paper which
always speaks with prudence and reflection, we
take the following observations on the execution
Of the laws in the city of Boston:
We begin to observe in some of the journals
at the South, as might have been anticipated, Sc
we're comments upon the apparent triumph ofop-
position to legal authority in this city. Ii is much
to be regretted that the demonstrations of de-
termination to resist the execution OF process
under the Fugitive Slave law, somewhat exag-
gerateG in the accounts which have appeared IN
various qnarters together with the fact that war
rants known to have been issued from the highest
authority have not yet been executed, should
give so much ground for these comments. How-
ever plausible may be the nferences discredita-
BILE to our city which are drawn from the facts
as they are stated, it s premature to judge, from
the delays which have occurred, and the show
of resistance, when in fact none has been made
that the law will not be executed. There is no
occasion for precipitancy in meeting an Issue of
which those who know the people of the city of
Boston cannot doubt the result. We have little
fear that the law will be seriously resisted in
5 Massachusetts, and, If forcibly resisted, it will,
notwithstanding, surely be executed
d In regard to the show Of resistance made by
0 The black population of New York, and the
sympathy and assistance shown to the fugitive
I by the abolitionist faction, the New York Day
!. Book remarks:
o They may thrive for time, or until their fai
i natical followers shall attempt resistance by
0 force to the United States laws-then may God
n have mercy on their souls! 1t will be the signal
for such a rising of whites against the blacks ais
l. never was before witnessed in this now happy
L county. Talk Of 'the blacks arming, as is seen
n paraded daily in the Tribune! If there is not an
e determination of the blacks. they will be shot
L down like dogs. Aye, and their abettors white
e, or black if found using force against the laws.
b Reflect for moment. Think Of the awful storm
s created By the Tappans only few years back,
e wheE if he and bis mad followers had not desis-
e ted, many if not all the black domics in this
n city would have been razed to the ground. Such
n whirlwind of popular Indignation has seldom
e been seen. The truth is, and century after CEN
L tury illustrates the TACT that the whites cannot
}. live on an equality with the blackstone or the
= other must be slaves, or is the case IN All our
/ large northern cities, worse than slaves.
The great Union meeting in New York
= brought out slavery expression Of the real sem
: timents Of the most influential class Of the conf
o muuity. In the assemblage every strong express
Z sion in favor of the Union, the Constitution, and
the laws framed to carry ont the provisions of the
il latter was enthusiastically cheered; and so was
every thrust at the AbolItionsts, Free Sellers,
= = and Demagogues. There was no mincing of
= matters, either in the resolutions OF speeches.
N More eloquent or effective speaking was never
;, heard. Some of the speakers out-did themselves;
:, turous applause There was no attempt at R-
Of terfuption, except in small way by half doz-
at en- Aboticnists who were Immediately elected
10 from the room Two of them had deemed it a
fit opportunity to yend certain prints respecting
sh the capture of negroes under the Fugitive Slave
er Law.
n The Journal Of Commerce potently says
1, No person who was Of adult age in 1882. and
is still in the land of the living can have forgot
:, ten the universal sentiment Of disapprobaton
- which prevailed at the North when South Caro-
=, lima undertook 10 nufy law of the United
States; or the selfcompacency with which north
:. ern men looked at themselves and their owl
section as incapable of such an act Of rebellion
II The law which South Carolina undertook tc
:. nulify. was of doubtful constitutionaty or, al
- least it's constitutionality was denied by con
:. siderable section Of the country; but the Fugi
,s tive Slave Law was enacted expressly to carry
into effect provision Of the Constitution. The
Nullifiers, therefore, had better pretext for re
~ beIlion than the abolitionsts have now. Ye
a0 the NulIifiers were effectuay put down by pub
= lie sentiment, and SO will the rebels be now
~ Or if not By public sentimnt. then by the strong
ri. arm Of the law which they coniemn.
pto This we believe will be the case. And look
his ing for this result ii becomes the true patriot
aid The Sontb 70 lend no strength 10 the factionst
=" Of the North; and to avoid by extreme measure
the possibility Of aliatng portion of his fellow
: citizens, which win destroy harmony and unio
Of action, should the exigency arise demandini
live a defence of constitutional rights.
