The examination of Elizur Wright, Editor
of The Commonwealth, for aiding in the late mob
IL progressing before Commissioner Halett.
Frederick D. Byrne, one Of the U. S. Marshals,
testified that when Wright was going out OF the
Court room, lust before the outbreak he kicked
the door open, raised his arm, and called out TO
the pegros TO come on. and that Wright was the
first who came in. 1t was also testified that
Wright asked the fugitive where his weapons Of
defense were, and when inquired Of if he would
contribute 10 purchase the fugitive, he replied he
would rather contribute TO purchase weapons.
Another witness testified to hearing Wright say
-" Come in :" just as the mob made the rush.
The case was not concluded at the adjournment
Alta meeting of the Board of Aldermen this al
ternoon the following order was passed:
Whereas This Board has learned with deep re-
eret that the integrity of the laws and the dignity
of the Commonwealth and City have been greatly
imnaired by the forcible rescue and abduction OF
prisoner from the hands of officer Of the United
States, who had him in legal custody -Therefore
ordered. That the City Marshal under the in.
struction of the Mayor, be directed, whenever he
shall be properly informed by any public officer of

Boston subjected TO a state of siege, we do
not hear at this present writing, but 1t Is
plain that something terrible is meditated'
All we ask is that the Constitution be
dealt with fairly, and its provisions IN
favor of Freedom be enforced as promptly,
earnestly and fully as those which are held
to favor Slavery. The Federal Govern
ment was not created only nor mainly TO
uphold Slavery; it was intended primarily
TO subserve the cause of Freedom. Let US
have no reenactment of the Boston Port
Bill while the Constitution is dehed In
Charleston with the audacity of law and
the impunity induced by Federal acqui-
escence. Give US Executive enforcement
as we'll of the clause which guarantees to
all citizens of Free States the unimpaired
rights of citizens in Slave States, so of that
which favors reinstatement, and we have
nothing more to ask.

These two clauses from the same
instrument, the same article, are respect
fully commended to the attention of Presi-
dent Fillmore and his Constitutional ad
visers. They are by right of equal
validity and equally binding on Govern
ment and People. If there be any obliga-
ton resting on the Federal Executive to
iuforce the one, that obligation extends
equally to the other. Yet for a lifetime
the former requisition has been steadily,
systematically, ostentatiously defed. Clti-
zens of Free States, trading to or visiting
Slave States, are habitually dealt with
in those States in glazing violation Of
its express injunction. White tree
men from the North are subjected to i'm
prisonment, indignities and outrage IN

Abolitionists, and punished with whipping

newspaper in their trunks containing some
article unfavorable to Slavery. Colored
citizens of Massachusetts or Rhode Island,
whose rights before the law of their own
States are equal to those of any other citl-
zens, are regularly dragged from the yes
sells in which they are serving as
seamen or stewards, on the arrival OF
said vessels at Charleston, S. {. or other
Southern ports, thrown into prison. there
confined till their vessel is ready to sail,
and then compelled to pay heavily for the

This has proceeded for years without
opposition or remonstrance from the Fed
eral Executive. But the first case of sue
cessful evasion, by few poor ignorant cit
liens of Free State, of the provision in
tended to favor Slavery, is the signal for
general commotion. The President is sum-
moned TO the defense of the violated Con-
stitution. Preclamations and threats of mil
itary coercion fill the public ear. Whether

u CHARLES EAMES, Esq. of our City, well
known among us as a lecturer and speaker, and
who was Assistant Editor Of The Union at
Washington during the last Presidential cam
paign, is henceforth to be associated with II. NJ
Watterson, Esq in the conduct Of The Nashville
Union, the leading organ Of the Tennessee De-
mocracy.' Mr.. Eames is still young man, but
has fairly earned brilliant reputation as
thinker and writer, and in his accession the Ed.
torial corps of Tennessee will have been decidedly
strengthened. That our good opinion may not
iniure him in the eyes Of his compatriots in his
new field of labor, we assure them that he does
not believe that Government has legitimately
anything to do with making two blades of grass
grow where but one grew BEFORE and is firm In
the faith that the Preamble to the Declaration OF
Independence should have read" All men are
created free and equal-niggers excepted" AS
they have been sometimes taken in with Editors
from the East whom the Abolitionists had used
and laid aside, we deem it but fair to Mr.. E. to
state that he is not of that sort, but has been
sound in the faith Of Democratic Slavery and
Slsveholding Democracy from the start.

CALIFoRNIA.-In commenting on the last
mail from the Pacific, little more than
week since, we said that California had
ceased to be land of miracles. The I'M
mense stories about Gold Bluff, whish we
copy in another column, not only refute our
assertion, but compel US to acknowledge
that she is, beyond denial, the most mira
culous land the sun ever shone upon. And
this will be Just as true, if the Gold Bluff
adventures should be bluffed out OF their
astounding calculations.
In all respects, the news from California
by this arrival, is of favorable character
The State finances are in better condition
than could have been anticipated, and the
Legislature evinces laudable determina-
ton toI retrench expenditures and preserve
the credit of the State. Governor Burnett,
we are glad to notice, recommends a gene
raj reduction in the salaries of the State
officers. Mining and business operations
are beginning to flourish again, the former
on account of rains, and the latter, on &C.
count of the improved success Of the
miners. The full details of the California
news, which we give this morning, will be
found of more interest than usual.
