Not the least attempt at violence was
made. Mr.. Colver and other persons in the
crowd occasionally denounced the proceed

ven TO be poured down upon them. When
the procession reached the wharf, the brig
was found TO be already, with the sleair-er

About thirty police officers accompanied
the vessel as far as the steame went, as q
protection from officers of this city, inclu.
ding q. s. Deputy Marshals Savin and Byrne

Ons man, lust as Sims was gong below,
called out TO him TO preach liberty to the
slave.-and as the brig was departing, the
Rev. Mr.. Foster, orthodox minister, Of Con-
cord, made the following prayer =.
"A'mighiy God Thou seest tt.is poor
man, one Of Thy children, borne away by
representation art the friend of all who
suffer wrong,-and we have now no hope
but in Thee that hope is still mistaken;
Thy promises endure forever, and now we
beseech Thee to show Thy power and love
in blessing this dear brother who is carried
by force 10 the land of whips and chains
oh, God, make him a missionary of power
10 awaken a love Of justice and liberty that
shall end in the speedy overthrow of the ac-
cursed system which now causes millions OF
bleeding hearts. In mercy, Heavenly Faith
er, do Thou destroy the wicked power which
rules us-give us righteous men TO admins.
ter JUS, laws, forgive the wickedness OF our
rnlers and lead ,hem to true and lasting re-
pentance, pity the wrelched man who now
goes in letters over the, w~aves--pity and
bless his brethren in chains-hasten the day
when all men shall be free and Thine shall
be the G~lory-Amen."
1t was just five when he left the Aboli-
ZIONIST Vigilance Committee met at 81, and
passed a resolution respectfully asking the
people of Massachusetts, TO toll the bells in
The several towns, as the intelligence reach
Ell them of the return of a fugitive slave
from the Commonwealth. They have also
appointed a meeting for public religious
services on the occasion. A person with
rather load lungs, as the procession passed
down State street, reciied the events of The
Boston Massacre that occurred in that street
before the revolution.
The fugitive was warmly and comfortably
clad in garments provided by the U S, Mar.

more papers drawn up by the Abolitionists,
saying that he was tired of the business.
The military, in considerable numbers,
were at their Armories and Fsnueil Hall,
but there was no cause to call upon them Il
act in the matter, and this morning they
were dismissed from further duty. The chains
have been taken down from the Court House
and it has resumed its usual aspect During
the night, Abby Folsom was found lying u
the street, near the Temple, and refusing tt
go home, was taken 10 the Watch House.
