TUE SECOND BOSTON OUTRAGE.

Asa matter Of the deepest interest at the present time
we give below full details of the most monstreus outrage
that ever stained hs,oys annals We forbear to ex
press fully our views of this disgracefu affair We could
no, do 50 in burning language than is employed by the
mos, respectable journals of the Northern Cities including
Boston ITSELF They Justly present Boston as beginning 10
receive due reward of her nursing within her bosom
mes, Of runaway slaves The preachers of rebellion (we
says the New York Journal of Commerce) have at
length the satisfaction of seeing the majesty OF the
law tramped in the dust by MOB and that in the c
~ of Boston, boosted residence of order and legal supe
macy The the dsgraceu because the author
tiles and people of that city had been orewaned by what
occurred recently the of Crafts that such
might BE- expected.
Thi, very affair will do more put down negrosm in the
North than anything that has before occurred for many
years 1t will show people what they are coming to-
Already there strong symptoms OF counter movements
even Massachusetts, II will be seen by an article from
the Springfield Republican that Geo. Thompson the English
Abolition spouter was hung in efigy there Saturday
night and tina, further disorders were app-chended The
negroes and Abotonis,s may yet find that o,ng s game
which Others can play at besides themselves.
What moro act-wha more burning disgrace not
only to Boston, but the State of Massa chuses and the
whole Union than band violently enter and
invade cou, justice defy its authority and
the aws2 the Boston Times regardst in every aspect
Ii nothing but complete triumph over law and ORDER by
band of black ruans counenanced and encouraged by
batch of white tratorsega religious philanthropca and
fanatcafor whom hanging would be too lenient punish
en, II blow the Supremacy of Justice at the dig
ni,y power and glory of the Unonand exhibits other
countries the ease with which law of the "Model Republic
can be SCI naugh by any gang of determined scoundre
who object 10 It's enforcement 1t has indicated the predom
macy Of Negodom Athens Of America and we may next
expect the edcts of these black masters as If our city had
been suddenly transferred the dominons OF His Sooiy
Righness Emperor Soulouque of Hay,,"
As in the Crafts case have the conflict OF
evidence as TO who is TO blame in this The u s.
Deputy Marshal attempts shift the responsibility on the
Mayor and the City Marshal Turkey. We know not how
this may bebut from what know and hear of the vigil
lance and energy of Marshal Tuky cannot
vet believe that he has been 10 his duty Commo
dore Downes also stands in awkward light, in refusing
10 receive the fugitive u S. vessel for safe keeping For
the credit Of tho navy he may be able TO Justify
himself If not he should be made TO give way TO more ef-
6cient and proper-mnded officer.
Wherever the blame may be justly DUE the u s. Marshal
Il, under the law clearly responsible for the value oil the
slave But things should not stop here The majesty of
the laws should INDICATED and the vagabnds who broke
into the and rescued the prisoner and their ring
leaders, should be brought to signal northumberland all
officers who have failed shall hereafter fail TO
execute tho law should be ANONYMOUSLY dismissed from Of
Acc little Lynch-law such threatened by the Cit
liens OF Springfield Mass the Infamous British cmssa-
~ Thompson would be undeseryed BY the miserable
ring leaders in Boston.
This outrage has many mos: momentous aspects The
Union cannot survive many such shocksan unless the
majesty Of the laws be better enforced the South may be
compelled withdraw from partnership with such open
nulihers Of the constitution and the laws.
