Ths bsst way q doing it.

The stern warnings of the South, and the
danger Of defeating their own darling projects,
are beginning to dictate different policy to the
more sagacious of our Northern brethren.
The following suggestions, made by cores
pondent of the Boston Alias, are very signif-
can't and show very clearly how the Fugitive
law can be made secondary to the Higher law,
without a resort to such open outrages as have
recently signalized that law-abiding community.
II will be observed that the writer under
stands the ruling sentiment of those to whom
. he appeals, and does not think it necessary to
do more than establish any other point than that
open resistance to the law, will not be the most
e6sciaal.
We invite the special attention of our South
erL friends to this new programme Of proceed
ilgs, rs subtle as it will be ecacous if adopted,
ii oder that they may not be duped by a pre-
tended panitence or sober second. thought" on
the part OF these violators of law, order and the
Constitution.

The assertion of this pretended advocate of
law and order, that the law cannot stand against
the general Indignation Of The free States, shows
the true color OF his sympathy. ...... s.a
From repeated trials the North has found
that illsinu.,tion succeeded better than buster,
and desires 10 pursue that policy still:
Let me say to those who are urging others to
avioleIlt resstauce and threatening them elves,
t.lut they are adopting the very worst means 10
carry the end they profess to have in view. II
they really wish to have the evils Of this law cor
recled--if they wish proper safeguards to be
enacted for the liberty OF the free man of color
-letthem for bear from all foolish attempts to re-
sist the law as it is. In the first place itis wick
cd for it will end in blood; in the second place
il is unnecessary, for the law cannot otherwise
stand it is, against the general indignation ii
the free States--aad in the mean time due care
,oil be talen that no free man be carried oft under
IL; in the third place, it is defeating their own
objects, by arraying in favor Of the law those
who would otherwise be against it-those who
would rather see civil wrong prevail Cor sea
SOM than lave it arrested by violence and last
ly, because such opposition cannot be successful.
Ii is sure to be put down, and it must be put down
the sober moral sense and the physical force OF
the community are against it. 1t will end in
MODS and riots, and mobs and riots will not
be suffered, in New England, to resist the course
oflaw"

~ The proceedings at Boston have had
some effect ut the South. We believe that the
number of resistance men has been increased,
and their spirit confirmed. But some Of the
submissionists are still more submissive--as If

catch some Of them, if they don't look out
We take the following FROM the Iuskegee (Ala.)
Republican:
The FUGITIVE SLAVE BILL-The reader will
find in this weeks paper some extracts from
Northern prints, going to show the state of
Northern feeling upon the subject of the Fugi-
tive slave bill. We are aware that at the North
there is much opposition to it, but us yet this
opposition has exhibited itself principally by
resolutions and inflamatory articles in the aboli-
ton papers. In every instance, ho1oerer, aohere
the attempt has been made, the taao has been fully
and eBeciualty carried outW And so long us this
is the case, we care not how much breath may
be wasted, or how much ink may be shed
against it.
1t would give immense capital now to the
Southern submissionists if one fugitive could
be actually reclaimed about these times.
We know gentleman in this city, who owns
fugitive in Il certain town in the North, but
has never been verdant enough to believe that
there was any reasonable chance of recovering
him under this law, or any law. Another gen.
teman observed the other day that if the slave
belonged to him, he would make the experiment.
Whereupon the owner told him that if he had
any such fifth, and would make the attempt sue
cessfully, he should have thousand dollars for
the restitution of the fugitlve-much more than
the value of him. But the offer was not ac-
copied

FROM PERNAMBUCo.-DVicuhy, cih France.
"A correspondent of the New York Tribune
writes, under date of Sept. 9th, that the French
Consul, in attempting, with number of his
countrymen, to resist the execution of judicial
order made upon claim against him by Bra
lillian clerk, received in an affay with the consta-
buary several bayonet wounds. Failing, upon
demand, to obtain satisfaction for the insult to
his official character, he took down his flagstaff
and arms, abolished the Consulate, placed his
countrymen under the protection Of the British
Consul, and left soon after for Europe. We arc
afraid that this is the germ Of difficulty that
may prove serious,
