Inent here in consequence Oft becoming known
that the United States Marshal had warrants i,
his hands for the arrest of some fugitive slaves
No sooner was it announced than the cour
house was surrounded by the negro population

bloodshed should be the consequence. II il
believed that some arrests have already been
made, and we fear trouble when the cases are
adjudcatcd upon. The negro population are
supported by our abolition fanatics, and we fear
difficulty. The abolition committee of vigilance
arc now in session, and, probably at their inst-
cation, an attempt will be made to rescue the
fugitves, two of whom, it is said, are in the Lee
verett street Jail.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT, NOT QUITE so TERRIBLE.
Boston, Oct, 70, lS50.-No attempt has yet
been made to arrest the fugitive slave for whom
warrant has been issued. There is some ex-
element about the matter among the colored
population. The slave has, probably, ere this,
been placed in concealment. His name is said
to be Craft, a cabinet maker by trade, who
escaped from Macon, Georgia, two years since,
and has been doing business in Cambridge

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT CHICAGo.-The City
Council of Chicago has passed resolutions NULL
flying the act of Congress respecting the Fugitive
Slave law, and releasing the police from obedi-
ence to it. This act Of the city authorities has
caused great excitement, and last night, a meet

mise. His speech had powerful effect on the
meeting, and caused n change in public opinion
in favor of the law, and against the acts Of the
City Council.

We learn from New York papers that, so far,
in relation to the nomination Of members Of As

Hunkers. OF some sixty candidate already
nominated in, that State, more than half are

than a column of Governor Fish's message is given
to the sectional queston-tbat is slavery and the
action Of the South concerning it. The Governor, as
he did last year, holds firm yet courteous and conci
iatory language this subject. While New York
is urged to stand firm against the extension Of slave
ry TO territory now free, the executive recommends
the cultivation of catholic spirit with the
South at the same time that the admission of Cali
fOrnia as State is put down a very felicitous
measure which he trusts Congress will not fail to
consummate.
