BUFFALO, Aug. 1.-THE excitement here
consequent upon the fugitive slave case is sub
siding II has been greatly exaggerated by the
press There will be no rescue. The slave
will be removed tomorrow, unless purchased,
of which there is now some prospect, $500 of
the $1,000 required, having been already sub
scribed
A few white men are exciting the negroes
to rescue-and considerable number of ne
groes have been invited by them over from Ca
NADIA for that purpose, and are now here. 1t
is to be hoped that in case Of resistance to the
laws, its vengeance will fall upon the white in
stigators, not upon their ignorent dupes. The
deputy marshal is firm, energetic man, who.
will not fail to do his duty under the law

LoNGFELLow IN EUROPE. The reputation
Of this eminent American poet is echoed back
10 US by the arrival of almost every steamer
from the old world. His works are repnblish-
ed in Great Britain by no less than eight rival
houses, and at the railroad depots boys are cry
ing his writings in neat volumes at one shilling
each. A late London Journal says he is the
poet most read in England at the present time,
Tennyson not excepted. Although Longfel-
lows popularity in his own country is wider
than that of almost any other author, it is even
greater in Europe than at home.-Boston

that The decision awarding the trumpet to the

fora'ed'at the trial concur, except those at Al

to- crafty their own paprice, and to do
this they are willing to stake 500 of their own
money. Now all the Torrent boys want is q
handsome defeat or money enough 10 pay them
for the troublee; and expense attendant, upon
the trial. The difference between a single in
dividual putting up purse for such an object
as the above. and two individuals. or compa-
nies-or their friends doing the same thing
is very much like the difference between twee-
dledum and t%eedledee and the refusal on the

proposition, on account Of its 'gatbing" char
acter betrays niceness of moral han. splitting,

FIRE IN ROCHESTER, N. H. We learn from
the Dover Gazette that very destructive fire
occurred at Rochester, n. H., on Wednesday

diary. The property destroyed is as follows :
Hotel. Stable and outbuildings. two dwelling
houses, shop occupied as Marble Manufac-
tory. blacksmith's shop, barn, and horse
and two carriages Loss estimated a; $l5,-
900. Some other considerable damage was
done to other buildings and in the removal Of
goods. The incendiary has been caught, and
acknowledged his guilt and is now in Dover
Jail.

DEMOCRATIC OrF1cERs.--It may be mention
ed as honorable to the democratic party, that
its cabinet officers at Washington have been.
we believe without exception, free from all
charges of Galphinism-of extracting money
from the treasury without proper authority,
and for their own emolument. The wings can
not say the same. If they should throw in our
faces the affairs of Swartwout and Hoyt, to
meet the instances of peculation that have oc-
Cured among themselves in inferior officers-;-
and suggest that in recent years. peculations in
public money have become rare, and claim vir-
tue for their own party, i, ought to be borne in
mind. that it is the new law, making defalca-
ton in office, not merely as before a breach of
trust, but crime, which has wrought the good
effect. Every United States depository who
now appropriates dollar of the public funds
to his own use does it at the risk of making
himself a criminal. Under this wholesome
law, the old evil had almost entirely ceased -
but whiggery has nothing to boast of. 70 -s7

A correspo ndent of the Journal Of

A correspondent of the Journal Of
Commerce writes thus:
CHOW that it / determined and
announced, in high and influential
quarters, that the Wings, as party,
can not hold together, if they make
the Compromise Measures and the
support of the Fugitive Slave Law
the test qu1les ttion il the party, it be-
comes very import ant to know wheth-
er the con verse of the proposition is
also true. Is it to be considered that
Mr.. Sewar h's doct rines, as laid down
in his lett Or to the Boston agitators,
arc the party test in the whig ranks?
Senator Wade, of Ohio, frankly adj
mits that the wing party in that
State will not unite, and can not be
kept togethe upon the policy adopt
ed by Mr.. Fillmore and Mr.. Webster
that IS, the maintenance of the
spirit and principles Of the Compro-
mise of 1850, and the faithful exc
cution Of the fugitive slave law
Every one who has consulted the
Southern mind and temper on this
subject, must know that the fugitive
slave act is, at this moment, the bond
of the Uni pn. Itcan not be repealed
without the hazard Of disunion and
civil war. Any man who denies this
must be Ignorant or reckless Of the
state of the question. 1t is very ev-
ident that the time is at hand when
the whig Iarty, when the democratic
party, when the people, are to meet
this Observation-Disclosures the system
of Compromise measures shall be
maintained or not. It is the test
before til b country, and no
nolitical ingenuity can evade it.
