Dreadful Steamboat Explosion.

The steamboat Telegraph, of the Erickson line of
propelers between Philadelphia and Baltimore burst
her boiler off New Castle Delaware, about o'clock
on Sunday night the 10th inst. Some fourteen per-

being no steamer to take her in tow. She was at

self throughout the whole State of Massachusetts,
The Fayetteville Carolinian of the 9th inst, in an
article upon this subject, says:
On Thursday last, citizen of Fayetteville,
just returned from Boston, after unsuccessful de-
mand for his slaves. He found that it was useless
to attempt to execute the law. That part of the
population net active in resisting the law, were per-
fectly pasSire and although he thinks that large
majority of the people in favor of executing the
law, they yet take no steps to accomplish it, We
,viling to execute it, there would soon be found
tcay to do it. He very politely told that he was
not safe in the city, and that he had better not stay
They were very anxious about his safety. The Off
GERS of the law all declared, without trying however
that they could not execute the law
The gentleman states that he believes that even il
the people of Massachusetts should not resist the
troops they will take an indirect way of refusing
execute it by running the fugitives off to Canada
He has no doubt that they are determined to pre-
vent the slaves from being returned, in any event
All this is, no doubt literally true. There is n,
| use in mincing the matter. Such conduct can onl,
be characterized scoundrelsm and, if persevereC
