L
night at the Court House. The question of the
best manner of expending the ten thousand dol.
lars on the Harbor will be discussed. 1t is no.
ped the citizens will GENERALLY be present. An
opportunity viii! be offered for all to present their
views.
MORE EXCITEMENT IN BOSTON. -
Another ares; in Boston has thrown Massa-
chusctts and the free States into general fer
ment. Ii seems the south are determined to
know whether a slave can be taken out Of Bos-
ton or not. Under the new commissioner (Cur-
tis), who was doubtless appointed because he
was thought better tool than Lunt or Hallett it
seems that the arrest has been made; and in
spite of unCOnsitutionalities or demands, for
wfts OF hnbeas corpus a certificate of ''servtude"
has been granted, and the officer of the United
States and of Massachusetts in the face and eyes
OF her enactmcnts to the contrary too, are wait
ing an opportunity to smuggle the Captive in
chains to slavery. BY this movement the very
neart Of the old Commonwealth has been stirred
to its depth. Her greatest men have met and have
spoken. Her Manns, PaIfrey's, Loring's, Phil
lips and Rantoul's have denounced the unconsti-
tutional robbery Of her citizens, have denounced
the necessity of claiming Massachusetts citizens
from the entrance to her own Court Rooms and
debarring them access TO the cradle of Liberty.
They ask, FOR what purpose is it that the military
OF Massachusetts are detailed into service, and
why Boston citizens should be taxed to pay $500
a day for the expenses Of soldiers and police
officers to lay in wait to catch negro for the
cotton fields of Georgia.
II is well the demand is made The South
.sist upon the ''pound of flesh" Let Il EN-
have the ''pound of hesh," but draw not drop
of christian blood State rights c,e worth some
thing in South Carona-they can shut up
northern froemen in jails as soon as they touch
their shores, by their own State enactments !;
and the Supreme Court says you cannot help
yourself, for South Carolina is an independent
State, and makes what laws she pleases, notwith-
standing no Constitution says the citizens of one
state shall enjoy in another state the same rights
and privileges as in their own.
Yet, when Massachusetts declares every man
n freeman that touches her shores, and says her
jails, nor court houses nor officers shall assist,
or be used, IN catching or returning negroes,
her laws are trampled under foot, the windows
of her Temples of Justice are stove in. and her
cnactments in favor of freedom are pit upon
and who by? Who assist at this demolition of
State Rights in Mass, and howl so piteousIy for
them in South Carolina? Go ask the wholesale
dealers on Milk street, the merchants upon her
wharvcs, and the tape measurers OF Washington
street. Ask the buyers in cotton and the sellers
Of calico-and the answer will come, "wo wish
for southern trade, and we set no value upon
blood or bones, or sinows, or human rights,
when they come in contact with the loss or gain
of ono Almighty Dollar"
MINIATURES AND MIs>Is IPrI RAILROAD 1t
seems tho common council of the city of Mil
waukec, and the directors of the NJ. & VI. Rail-
road Co, are at loggerheads about htte mat
ter. The directors wanted a screw losenod up a
little by the city authorities, so that they could
more easily dispose Of their bonds. TO this the
city Fathers decidedly objected and express
the idea that the city is already sufficient
ly encountered, and no change can take
place in the papers, unless the general liability of
the stock holders is involved, together, with the
right conferred, Of entering up a judgement
against the Railroad Co., whcncycrthc CITY gram
MES shall think the city is insecure.
Altogether it is an unhappy kettle of fish, as
will appear from the following part of the report
@. the directors TO the city council
1--WE are willing to use every reasonable and
proper effort to advance this great work, but if
contrary 10 all our expectations, we are to be
subjected to the suspicious and the hostility to
the city government, it will be far better for us,
rs individuals, 10 stop the work before we shall
have become more deeply involved in it,"
ANOTHER FIrE-lxcEx IAnIsM.--About II
o'clock Oh Saturday night, the slumbcrs of the
city were again disturbed by the Fire" cry
The flames were seen issuing from a shinglc
shanty in the Lumber Yard of L. NEWELL &
Co. The engines were soon on the spot, and
after $500 worth Of shingles, shinglo bolts, and
other property were destroyed, tho boys were
permitted to take their machines home There
/, no doubt bu; that tho fire was kindlcdhy some
abandoned william, and the sooner the city au-
thortios take measures to catch these midnight
maraudcrs the better for thopcacc and safety of
the city.
