THE SOUTHERN P.Ess-THR bosroS RESCUE AND
THE PRESIDENTS MsssAsK.-The course of Presi-
dent Fillmore, with regard to the late rescue of
fugitive slave at Boston, has created considerable
dissatisfaction at the South, and there now seems
probability tina, the citation, which was partially
quelled by the passage of the Compromise mea-
sures, will be rene wed. The Charleston Mercury,
one of the most ultra journals OF the South, in the
onset, pronounced the Fugitive Slave law dead
letter, as it would be impossible to enforce ii in
some of the free States For several months past,
that paper has been quiet upon the questions which
were and are still agitated in the State. 1t now
asserts that the call upon the Senate, by the
President, for more power, was Only intended TO
be brought upon the South, with very little, if any,
idea of using such power al the North, in the en-
fcrcement of the law for the rendition of fugitive
slaves. The late election for delegates 10 State
convention, comprises many Of the most influential
men of the State. and that convention was call.
because of the difficulty and final failure of two
citizens in getting possession of their slaves Upon
the failure TO enforce the law in Boston, and in
consequence of the law passed by the Legislator.
Of Vermont, together with the causes before adj
ver;ed 10, that convention is called upon, by the
whole press Of the State, TO adopt the necessary
steps for an immediate secession from the Union.
The Charleston Coxyxr, the wing organ Of the
State of South Carolina, is quite as favorable to
secession as any other journal in the State, and,
like the others, has attributed to the President
desire TO crush the South. The Georgia press is
divided in their views of the motives of President
Fillmore.
The Savannah Republican, the principal whig
journal Of the S.ate denies the assertion that the
President does not intend to carry on, 10 good faith,
and in justice the South, all The provisions Of the
Fugitive Slave law; while the Savannah Georg,aw
charges upon him thai, if he Intended to deal fairly
with the South, he would al once dismiss the Mar
shall al Boston, for the non-Psrformance OF his duty
The Columbus Ewqusro, hitherto occupying
neu raj position, comes out very strongly against
the course Of the President, and thinks il is time
the people Of the South should know how that
section OF the confederacy stands in equality of
rights with the North. In nearly all the Southern
States, the great mass Of the people are satisfied
that there viii be no further agitation in their
midst, the South, though il may not get AL that
was desirable in the Compromise measures, is
satisfied 10 let things remain as they are.
Ia Mississippi, like South Carolina, there is an
evident disposition TO renew the agitation u2oa the
rescue in Boston. The Natchez Fee Tfader says
