Progress of the New Union Hun
ker Party.

Last week, greak union meeting, got up af-
ter the pattern of the New York and Phlladel-
pIna me tings, was held in Manchester. N H.
Another more formidable was held in Boston on
Tuesday, the present week. AS their proceed
ings are the same stereotyped STORY" Peace"
concession" " faithful execution OF the laws,
separation from agitators, and support of the I'M
ionsts without distinction to old party ties" etc.,
there is no need ofreporting them in detail The
work of gathering and unit the pro-slavery
Hunk rs from each of the old parues, goes on
bravey and the movement has gained fresh
cesson of strength in the person OF Henry Clay
who, in speech recently made before the leg
islatu:c of Kentucky, announced his determine
to support for the next President the strongest
democrat, who would faithfully carry out all the
compromise measures in preference to any whie
who could not be depended on to do so.
We know not what others think of this move
ment, but for ourselves, we hope it will 60 OF
till every pro-slavery, and every frightened man
shall be CLEANED out of the wing and democratic
parties. We will then bid the rest welcome t.
the ranks Of freedom with pretty good assur
ance that we shall know what we get.

Mob-law to put down Free Dis
cussion Revived.

We had supposed the day of mobs to silence
the advocates of Freedom, and to prevent free
discussion had long since gone by, especially
in New England. But it seems we were mis-
taken Faneul Hall, the old cradle of Liberty,
has recently been desecrated in manner which
would, were such things permitted, bring up
from their graves the shades ofold John Adams
and his compatriots, whose voices once rang
through that consecrated place in defence of the
rights of man, and freedom of discussion, to
frown in indignation on the degeneracy of their
descendants, and tier apostacy from one Of the
great cardinal principles so triumphantly settled
by the Revolution.
George Thompson, member Of the British
Parliament, who was formerly known in this
country as a fearless champion of the oppressed,
having lately arrived in Boston, reception meet
ing was got up by the friends of liberty, to take
place in kaneuil Hall. But when the company
assembled with their distinguished visitor to hear
the speeches expected from HIM and others on
the occasion, in rushed q notify gang of tine
Hunker c0ttonocacy and their mlnlons, who.
every time Thompson attempted to speak, hiss
ed, hooted, insuIted him, and drowned his voice
by uproarious cheers for Daniel Webster, etc.,
which sufficiently showed under whose teach
ings they were acting. Neither Thompson nor
any others of the prepared speakers, were per-
mitted to be heard by this leagued farrago of
the followers the great wing leader of Massa-
chusetts. and the meeting was broken Up en-
tlrcly.
Now what rejecting and candid person is
there, WIN will not see and say, that this is a
legitimate result of the doctrines and d'ctations
of Webster, Fillmore, etc, recently put forth to
que and destroy - the agitation" or IN other
words, to put down all discussion on the subject

of slavery. For ourselves we expected nothing
less but we confess we did not expect to see
the results themselves, thus appearing in the
shape of mobs, sanctioned and applauded by any
OF the leading presses of the country, as has been
indirectly done by the Boston Courier, and di
Iectly and openly by the National lntelligencer.
Should such teachings be carried out, what may
soon be the rate of the teachers them elves, and
all those who like the Courier, lnleIligoncer, and
their more contemplate echoes through the
the country, are thus fostering and tanning the
monstrous principle into life and action. 1t is
strange they cannot see in their movement no
glimmerings of the two.edged sword which will
cut one way as well as another. 1t Is strange,
in short, that they cannot see that their own safe
ty, as well as that Of society at large, can only
be looked for in the spread and maintenance of
the very principles OF freedom and free speech
they are trying to put down OF smother with
mobs and menaces. But they have nothing tc
fear--their doctrines can never prevail. The
rallying hosts of freedom, now coming up il
strength, to carry out, for the first time, to tn
full, the leading idea of our governmeDt-equa
rights and privileges to all-wl save them, il
spite Of themselves, and the liberties of the coun
try together.

The Kidnapper's Law.

Let no man deceive himself with the l.
dea that nobody hereahouts defends, nphulds
or, if need be, will assist in carrying out,
the law of the Algerines There are lots
of them, though they don't talk very loud
Just now They are full of the old, stereo-
typed arguments of tyranny-ihe same by
which timid, irresoute, easy pc. pie are Of
ten made to side with wrong instead of the
right, because The right may give them
little more trouble. These men argue thus
1.-THE fugitive slave bill is not right (Oh!
no, but it is now the law, and therefore,
il must be obeyed until it can be modified
or repealed. Meantime, tilt overthrOws the
natural and inalenable rights of one man
TO hundred men, il will not do to resist it,
(even for the hunted slave himself1 because
the peace of twenty millions o" people is
more sacred than the rights Of one, or a
small number. Anarchy must surely ensue
if the law is resisted. All law is at an end
when once single law, no matter how ln-
iquitous, is set at defiance, and as anarchy
is greater evil than the deprivation of the
rights of few negroes, the fugitive law
must be obeyed" Excellent men How
exactly does your logic tally with that of the
tories in the Revolution, Infamous and ty-
ranical laws are enacted by those who have
the pewer but not the right, aud then, when
there is no earthly prospect that they ever
will repeal them, until compelled by force,
the argument is that peace is more impor-
tant than right. This would give tyranny
free scope ioreyer.-Bur. Cour.

The Nashville Convention,

The Nashville Convention, after all their blus-
tering at the outset, have broken up in disagree
ment--some accounts say in perfect row. The
courage of the majority, when brought to the
pinch OF giving tangible form to their treason,
oozed out, or went off in the gaseous explosions
of their own spec ches, leaving them nothing to
do, but give an exampe-as it seems they very
pruden.y did, of their doctrines of secession by
seceeding themselves from the foolish position
they had at first assumed
"Thus endeth the first esson" ofthis farce Of
Southern disunon, which has to terribly fright

tempt confirmed their opinions, as lunauc or
idiot had never been known be calm at the
sight of fire. Several other medical men OF high
standing endorsed the opinion, and public opln'
ion was much against the discharge of the prls-
oner. 1t was therefore deemed advisable to sub
nit his case to a jury, and on the 10Th OF sept
his trial was called on IN the Supreme Judlclal
Court of Bavaria, then in session at Augsburg
The turnkevs were obliged to carry Specht into
the court house. When placed at the dock, he
ran his eye with vacant stare over the audi
ence. and then fell once more into the lethargy,
mt his arm over the balustrade, bent bis head
down GA It, and fell fast asleep. They tried to raj
" him. but all efforts to awake him were fruit
less and his interrogatory had Therefore 10 be dis
pensed with. The crimes which were imputed
to him he had confessed to, and numerous wit
nesses placed his guilt beyond all peradventure
In summing up, the public prosecutor submitted
that the jury h6d not to determine whether the
accused was in al unsound state ofmind at the
psesent time, but whether he had been sane at
at the time when The crime was committed, an
argument which was sustained by the Court,
The Jury after half an hours debeution, re-
turned verdict of guilty, adding that they rec
commended him to the utmost eniency of the
Court in view of his deporable state of mind.
Specht was then sentenced to three years close
confinement. Scarcely had Specht been remov
ed from the pris ners dock TO his cell, when he
displayed the same energy and Vlvacity which
had distinguished him before his arrest He
danced about III his cell, called loudly upon his
aors, and Rugged them in his joy at having
escaped punishment He declared that his con-
duct had been all feignen, and had been follow
ed up by hImupon the advice of fellow prison.
er, whom he spoke TO on the evening of bis ar
rest.
This was no less than to place him in a wood
en- shed, the roof of which was fired during the
night, the guards of Specht standing around the
burning shanty, ready to extricae him at The
moment when he gave signs of returning energy.
During this awful trial, one which requires the
strongest nerve and undaunted courage to with.
stand, the murderer laid on the ground, appa.
rently unconscious of the horrible danger, al
though his face was turned upwards. The
fire was gradually burning down the sides o.
the shalty, whilst fragments of the burning roo
were constantly falling round and even on the
tortured man, Yet he stirred not, and had it
not been for the assistance OF his guards, who
pulled him out in horrible condition, he would
certainly have been burned to DEATH
Loaded with crime as he is, Specht has, du-
ring his long trial, displayed perseverance,
courage, and indomitable will which would hav
brought him to high honors, had it been used in
the following up of a commendabe pursuit As
it is, there is every probability that he would
have obtained full pardon if he had persevered
for a few days longer in his unparalleled decep-
ton,
