EFFECTS OF THE FuGITIUE LAw.-Bennett
of the New York Herald is never so much in his
glory as when confusion reigns, and then he is as
busy as the devil in gale of wind. He was
wonderfully patriotic while the compromise was
pending, but now is making all sorts of fun of the
compromisers Speaking Of the Fugitive Law ne
says:
1t has turned wings and democrats into fu-
gitves and it is difficult to tell whether they or
the runaway slaves run the tastes: from law
But there is this dfference-the fugitive politi-
clans have been overtaken, while the fugitive
slaves have escaped to Canada. If such is the
beginning of the stampede what will be the end
Wing and democrat hunkers-where are they
their platform-their plans-their principles
their parties Swallowed up in the fugitive
slave bill. Gomez
Speaking of the result in Massachusetts he
says:
sThe wings may try with the democracy to stave
off the general smash of the old crockery.-
But it won't do. Notification is up, secession
is up, agitation is up, cotton is up; but the old
politicians are down. We may try to raise
them bat according to the late elections it won't
do.

SINGULAR FACTS ABOUT FIsH.-Fish of all
kinds become scarce as commerce increases
Our steamboat paddles brighten them away
Iii a curious fact, that, during the war with
England, the constant firing of cannons drove
away all the king fish, but on the return Of peace
they were again caught, and we have them now
but in no great quantity. Long Island was once
a great whaling coast. A paper published in
1922 states that the whale fishery was on the de-
cline on Long Island, as only four whales had
been caught in that district, and but little oil was
expected. In 1924, there were caught in pond
near point Judith, on the Sonnd, 100000 bass
which loaded so carts, 1000 horses. and sundry
boats.-N. Y. Dispatch.

MoRMoNIsM-Mr Mackay, the Mormon agent
sent out from the Salt Lake settlement to Eng
land some time ago, for the purpose of encou-
raging emigration to that region, has met with
extraordinary success. He states that the Nor
mons have an emigration fund of three ard half
tons of California gold. During the last ten
years the emigratons of Mormons to the United
States is estimated by Mr.. Mackay at $4,000,
and he thinks that at the close ofhe present year
it will amount to 10000. A large portion of
these are farmers and mechanics of good stand
ing in their own country they are principally
from the counties of Worcestershire and York
shire in England; large number, however, are
| from Wales and the southern part of Scotland
Mr.. Mackay further states, that the growth OF
Mahomedaiism, rapid as it was, is not to be COM
pared with the size and growth of Mormonsm.

AN UNUSUAL SIGHT-We yesterday saw in
one of the Harrisburgh papers notice of an in
tended application for the benefit of the nsolvent
laws. A few years ago preceding every term of
an "lnsolvent Court" long columns of names
paraded the newspapers of intended applica-
tons for the benefit of the law. We now rare
ly hear of such an application, and we venture
the assertion that not half as much money is lost
from bad debts as was lost before the law exemp-
ting from execution three hundred dollars worth
of property was passed. The hundreds of thou
sands of dollars formerly spent in legally collect
ing small debts are now saved to the poor, who
mad the tax to bear. They are, therefore, 10 the
extent of this saving the better able to buy for
cash, Philadelphia Ledger.
There is in the above very plain and simple
lesson taught, and one which the producers of
the country would do we'll to heed and profit by.
1t is lesson too, the truth of which is confirmed
by experience in this section of the country, for
of course the principle is tn, same, and will pro-
duce the same results the world over. The les
son is simply this; that the laws for the collection
of debts are useless tax upon the productive
labor of the country. Says the Ledger, by abol-
ishing litigation, you have saved to the produ-
GERS the expense, and this enables them to pay
cash for their purchases and thus avoid the me-
cessity of mourning debts. The whole matter
is plain as a pike-staff. Thus, the expense of
the collection laws throughout the nation, are
according to judcious estimates 100000, 900
per annum. Now we venture tie opinion that
the annual debts, of all the producers of the
country do not exceed that sum. What then is
! the irresistible inference. Why, save this ex-
pense and you do away entirely with the necessi-
ty of contracting debts; or in other words the laws
furnish in themselves, the only necessity there
is for their continuance. Why will the produ-
GERS who control the government allow them
selves to be thus unreasonably taxed to support
useless and pernicious institutions. They would
not stand quietly by, and see one third Of their
earnings reckessly cast into the lake, yet they
will, patiently year after year, submit to have
this third absorbed by useless laws, and make no
effort TO prevent it. We have it is true liberal
exemption laws in this Safe, and are to that ex-
| tent benefited, but we should not rest there
! We should demand the full application of the
| principle and not be content with half a loaf,
when we can have whole one, with great BEN
eft to ourselves, and injury to no one.

+ SECOND APPEARANCE OF Mr.. THOMPSON IN
BosroN. Thompson made his second ap-
pearance in Boston on Monday evening in a
church in Belknap street. Precautions were
taken to prevent a disturbance, and the meeting
passed off quietly. Mr.. Thompson made a short
address, in which he remarked that he was a
friend to all reforms, especially to those peace
fully conducted. There was no defended OF
slavery in the world-God never made one. II
there were defender the institution, he were
a monster, not one of Gods beings The reduc-
ton in the price of sugar was made an argument
in favor of the abolition of slavery. Those who
were in bondage were invoked to drink little
longer from the bitter cup, but ''the time" would
come, when they should have Joy, they should
90 to the West Indies, where million of their
brethren would hail them with joy. He, Mr..
Thompson, was speaking as an American; but
he was not going to be Americanized to please
any paper in the country
He was Republican, and he would walk the
soil of America without obtaining leave OF pen
nv newspaper or of President Fillmore. He al
luded to the affair at Faneuil Hall, and said the
disturbance was made by $50 boys, who gave
three groans for John Bull. The speaker at the
time, in imagination saw John Bull rise before
him, with his pipe in his mouth, and mug Of
foaming ale by his side, and good-naturedly putt
the groans all away. But he should never think
of Boston in connection with that ridiculous
scene"
He did not blame the boys, but he blamed those
who set them on, and those who could but would
not prevent the disturbance. "Saamo on the
latter"
