people, to rise in their majesty and assert the SUI

enacted by the late Congress, passed in spirit of
compromise and patriotism, are in no respect a de.

A letter was read from the Hon. James Blu.

WASHINGTON, Nov. u, 800.
The present is a season productive OF speeches
and letters in every part OF the country. All our
eminent men, in the East, West, North and South,
are exemphlying the maxim that it is useful to
speak well, as to act we'll, for the Republic. The
late speeches OF Mr. Clay, Mr.. Webster, Mr.. Cass,
Mr.. Clayton, and of thousand others, all tend to
tranqmze the public mind, and to afford assuran-
ces that the country is not destined soon to come
under the reign Of discord
The Presidents letter is quite as effective as
would be proclamation, and ought to satisfy every
one that he will discharge his constitutional duties,
whenever the occasion shall arse-and that may
be very soon-for the inteTpositon of executive
power to enforce the Fugitive Law. Indeed, if
the law is to be of any avail, it will soon be ascer-
tanned by the enforcement oil its provisions against
all those persons in Boston who hindered its exc
cutoR.
II the marshal is not cupable for neglecting to
serve the writ he is certainly so for negecting to
give any information as to the means and the per
sons by which he was prevented from serving It
All persons who hindered him from dschargng
his duty are subject to fine OF thousand dollars
and who are answerable to the claimants or owner
for the value of the slaves, to be recovered by
action of debt. An attempt is to be made, i
appears, to give effect to these provisions OF the
law, and we shall see with what success.
Cases OF arrests under the law are soon to occur

cases, it would discourage fugtives from looking

but he has talents which will yet place him in a
much higher position than he now occupies In

which do him honor, and which will eventually

Miss JULIA DEAN.-This distinguished young
actress will make her appearance at the ST. Charles
theatre, on Monday evening next. In the higher
departments of the histionic art she is thought, by
the discriminating, to have few equals in this or
any other country. She was great favorite at
the ST. Charles last season. The astonishing sue
cess which has attended her engagements in many
of the Western cities, during the past summer,
gives evidence of improvement in her profession,
though improvement was thought TO be impossi-
bic. Is this not sufficient guarantee that her en-
gagement, which is to commence on Monday
evening, will be of the most brilliant character
Miss Dean has twice visited Nashville within a
few months. The admiration entertained for her,
both as an artist and lady, by the intelligent
citizens of that highly refined and cultivated place
is almost unbounded. On the occasion of her last
benefit at the Adelphi theatre, in that city, dia

into the delineation of his part. We must say, in
deed that he acts well, generally, and, at times,
impressvely. We should think, however, that his
style would be more effective if greater regard
were paid to a distinct enuncation of his words,
especially in the passionate scenes. player mast
enunciate distinctly, that the audience can catch
every word without difficulty, or he cannot main

At the close of the play Mr.. Buchanan wa,

with which they had greeted him. He said that h,
had looked forward with pleasure to this hour.

The ST.. CHARLEs.-The farewell benefit of
Nj RS Farren took place at the st. Charles last
ming and although the audience not as large as
we wished to see it, it was composed of the most

Mrs. Farren played with spirit we have hardly

seriousness of her position, in the most truthful
manner. When she first the paper which
has been drawn up by the Duke, her father, which
Is intended to bind HWOH TO another, she is also
very effective. Her emotion seems to impart itself
to those who see her, and none, however stoical,
can gaze on the scene unmoved. AT the same
time, when pride regans the ascendancy she is the
