FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE-MR WEBSTER

FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE-MR WEBSTER.
Boston, April 9.
Mr.. Curtis, the U. S. Comm issioner, has deferred
his decision until Friday next
The meeting at the fremont Temple in opposition
TO the Fugitive Law continued its session, the entire
day. Hon. Stephen Phillips offered series of resoIu-
tons asserting the right of fugtives trial by jury
and the Habeas Corpus act under the common law and
declaring the Fugitive Slave law unconstitutional and
violation OF the rights OF ireemen. A proposition
was made to sit all night but upon its being known
that the Commissioner had postponed his decislon it
tMr Webster arrived last night andput up at the Re-
we're House. His hea lth is still feeble On his arrival
yesterday at Springfield the people turned out en- asse
to meet him and greeted him with the utmost enthsi-
asm
The case OF the negro Sims begins to assume more
serious aspect and direct collision between the Gene
raj and State Governments appears to be threateued-
| In the Massachusetts Senate to-day, order was
passed by vote OF 25 TOT, appointing committee to
enquire whether the freedom of any nhabant of this
commonwealth is IN danger through the remissness of
any officer thereof any law for the security of per-
sonal freedom had been violated in any officer Of the
city or State
This movement is in consequence ofthe refusal of the
sheriff to serve the writ OF replevin upon the Marshal
and also his refusal to serve crmina warrant upon
Sims for assaulng the officer who arrested him. both
OF which were designed as plans to get Sims of the
hands ofthe u. S. authorities The Committee is now
in session. The Governor has also directed the Attor-
ney General to consult with the Sheriff relative
ing the writ OF replevin upon the Marshal.
Immense placards are posted about calling. on the
citizens and all opponents of slavery assemble the
State House on Friday and witness the States disgrace
in the delivery up of Sims.
