conditional repeal of the law The movement Of dc.
noupcing the law has been, and st;n is general
throughout the northern and western counties. In
Hsrkimer county few days since, the wings held
their convention for county officers when the most de-
cded opposition to slavery and the execution of the
Fugitive Slave law were manifested in the making OF

law while M they oppose amy any % movement calculated

held in the counties above alluded to- have passed
Congress, not only to vote for the repeal of the
Fugitive Slave law, but to press the restriction Of
the slave trade between the States and the abolition
of slavery in the District of Columbia The Albany

that city is equally in its opposition to slavery

doctrine and has labored increasingly to keep up the
excitement throughout the State.
AAssAcHusErTsThe true feelings with regard to the
Fugitive Slave law in this State been pretty clear

OF indignation. The blacks called together and
warned to themselves and pare for resss

faction with the law aud their intention If elect to
work for its repeal. Hon Horace Mann has written
long letter to the committee of the convention
which nominated him, in which he says he would not
advise open resistance to the law merely because it is
alaw. 1t contains violent denunciations of the Fug
tive Slave law, and charges upon il all the enormties
which have been imputed to 1t by the most violent
fifteen twenty lines are devoted to other subjects
which is clear indication Of his estimate OF the
comparative Importance OF the various subjects of l
gisaton. The Boston Atlas thinks the letter manly
and bold ayowal of the right principle, and though
that journal ees not openly counsel resistance TO the
law uses the NEST insmmstory language, and such
points directly to rebellion. spirit OF most unns-
takeable nul6cation is abroad in the State and
there doubt the arrest Of fugitive would be the
signal for an outbreak.
NEW wJERsEY.-Though the abolition free soil feel

the Union than the alleged rights Of the fugitive
slave. The whig committee of the Fifth Congressional
district passed series of resolutions against the
situtionaliy Of the Fugitive Slave law but the nom
of that Convention upon being nterrogated upon
the question most unequivocally ly refused to pledge
himself against that any other relating TO
slavery. The WING papers OF the State are without
single exception opposed to the law, and have
pressed the opinion that the whg bers cleo. from
that State would favor the repeal OF the law. That
question, however, has not been made the principal
in the present Questions of local char
scter the subjects Of contention between the par
ties, and they Of such importance to the people
of the State that national questions spoken of
secondary considerations.
