From the Boston Times.
The Arrest and Rescue OF Fugitive Sla


HIoH-HANpEp OUTAGE IN A CoURT OF JUSTICE -
The city Of Boston on Saturday last dlsgraced
by of the most lawless and atr0cious acts that
ever blackcned the character of any community
pretending to be in the enjoyment Of an enght,,
ened state of civilization. a band Of ftoo hundred
negroes violently entered court Of justice, and by
force carried from the custody Of The officers person
arrested agreeably TO established Iao Of The nation.
The act is burning disgrace, not only to the city,
but to the commonwealth, and indeed to the whole
Union; for il was q court of the United States which
thus reasonably invaded, and its statutes and
power put openly and insultingly at defiance IL
disgrace to the city that the mayor took no in
terest in a riot which curred in building belong
ing the city and refused his aid in suppressngPro
ccedings which, had the officers performed simple
and unquestiOnable duty, would have resulted IN
sanguinary conflict; for the rioters were supplied
with arms and were determined to use them against
all who obstructed them in their law-defying
course. II was a disgrace to the commonwealth,
as no provision had been made for the detention OF
prisoners arrested under law for which ma
ority of its representatives in the United States
Congress had recorded their votes. And it was
disgrace to the Union ITSELF in that the naval oftcer
commanding this station declined to furnish the
necessary aid 70 enforce national law. Looking
at it in every aspect we can regard 1t az nothing
but complete triumph over law and order, by
band of black ruffians, countenanced and encour-
aged by batch of white trators legal, religious,
p6ilanfhropical, and hnatical; for whom hanging
would be too lenient punishment. II Is blow at
the supremacy ofjustcc, at tho dignity, power, and
glory of the Union, and exhibits to other countries
the ease with which law Of the "Modcl Republic"
can be set at naught by any gang of determined
scoundrels who object to its enforcement. u has
indicated the predominancy of ncgrodom in the
Athens of America, and We may next expect the
cdicts of these black masters il our city had been
suddenly transferred to the dominions OF his sooty
highness Emperor Soulouque of Hayti. There is
something very laughable in the whole affair, al
though for some it is unfortunately on the wrong
side Of the mouth and will afford food for some Of
the rnciest caricatures presented to the pub.

rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
,hsv are entitled TO Bounty Land, under the act
Of 3sth of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would BE-
,hst ,hev do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
sxnense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
thew could avoid If permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorias,s further represent that the law,
bv preventing the sale Of the warrants, assume
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent TO act for themselves,
,,beress many Of them are among the most intel
igent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be so modified as TO make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
