More Outrages.

Another fugitive slave has been arrested, IN
the North, another mob has risen TO rescue him
and has succeeded in doing j., from the hands OF
the authorities The affair at Syracuse is SINH
lar to the rescue at Boston, only more so. In
Dunkirk also, another case has occurred, where,
although resistance was made, it was overcome
in one case, and in four others the negroes es-
capped.
The compromise is as great blunder in poll
cy, as it is false in principle. If the North de-
termined to extort, and the South to surcndera
right, it would have been better for the peace OF
the country that the runaway negroes should be
ceded to the North, than the territory which was
given up. II would have been better even Tor
the border States Of the South. But folly Is
very apt to be companion of fraud, and the
compromise is so compounded as to be precisely
the most odious to both sections-that it was
possible to make it, out of the elements OF strife
which the architects had at hand.
We are told that fortible resistance to law
is treason. If so, there must be some forty trail
tors at Boston, two hundred at Christiana, and
perhaps a. many at Syracuse-in all, about five
hundred. The punishment of treason is death.
Does anybody expect to see them hung! lfnot,
what becomes of heslaw-of the compromise

WORCESTER, October l, 1851.
The Middlesex county Freesoil and Demo
cratic convention, met to-day, at Concord, for the
purpose Of forming a coalition. In both con-
ventons there was very little opposition TO such
a course.
J. w. Baird, Of Lowell was president Of the
Democratic convention and John A. Bolles, Of
the Free-soil.
Several delegates in the Democratic couyen.
ton made speeches against n coaltion-one say.
ing that IL the Democratic party could not stand
upon their own platform, they had better not at
tempt 10 stand at all.
One member moved that the convention ad.
journ sine de, without making nominations.
Another, that unless Free.soiers came upon the
Democratic platform, no union ought to be
formed with theun
Aside from these few manifestations Of dis
appreciation, all went merry as a marriage bell.

without murmer. IL is composed of Charles

Richmond Medical College.

The next session of this institution COM
mences on the 18th inst We are informed that
its previous course was a very successful one,
and that it is expected there will be three hun
bred students at the ensuing one.
The difference between the diseases OF the
South and the North ought to be enough of
itself to secure from all who intend to practice
medicine in tho South, preference for Southern
medical institutions. There is difference, all o,
in the constitutions of the people.
The social character of the two sections, and
their manners also, differ materially. And as a
medical student al college passes so large apart
of his time in society, his manners are apt to un:
dergo an important modification whilst there.
Now, for social enjoyment, and improvement
in manners, we should suppose Richmond Tar
preferable to Philadelphia, New York, or Boston

the Theory and Practice of medicine, and on the
diseases Of women and children-works which
have become text books in other schools. DR.

of the profession. DR.. CHANBERLAYsE, we are
told, is an admirable lecturer, and DR.. MAUPES

The college has the advantages Of an extern

Virginia..

We are glad to see that the recent Democratic
convention in Virginia did not avow any aPpro'
baton of the compromise, or acquiescence in it.
The omission is significant of the existence in
that State ola sentiment of repugnance and hos
tility for that measure, which is beyond the force
ofparty power and vulgar clamor.
Thus far, we believe no convention OF the De-
mocracy in any Southern State has endorsed
that measure, although some have expressed
reluctant, qualified and mortified acquiescence.
The common sense of the South and its sense OF
shame are far from being Observation-Disclosures

has inundated that region.

DIRECT FROM CUBA.-A vessel arrived here
on Monday last direct from Cardenas, having
cleared on the 9Th. From passenger, resident
mt the latter place, we learn that affairs per.
fectly quiet at the time of his leaving. The
principal intelligence of the demonstration at
Puerto Principe in possession Of the Cardenas
people, was derived from American papers,
chiefly from the New Orleans Picayiine. Some
official accounts were published, which Of course
described the outbreak as a small affair and as
suppressed. There were about three hundred
men stationed at Cardenas. Our informent
who expresses sympathy with the cause Of
the native Cubans, gives the opinion that there
are thirty thousand troops distributed throughout
the island, tu enty thousand Of whom are Gaia.

nation in favor Of the Spanish government, and
would resist invasion or revolution 10 the last
extremity. Some Of them make open avowels
to this effect, and say that though they were
revolutionists in Spain for constitutional govern
ment, until il was conceded, in Cuba they are
Spanidrds. The entire Creole population are
yearning for change, and many Of the Andelu.
sian ard Gallician troops sympsthise in the revo.
Iutionary cause. The opinion is also expressed
by our informant that no force short of ten
thousand men, 10 land on The Island, would en-
list the confidence Of the people TO the extent
Of cooperating in the popular move. No intel.
ligence had been received before the vessel LEFT

THEoRY OF CoLDs.-Jonn Adams and DR..
Franklin discussing the theory of colds in one
bed, at a country tavern, with an open window
letting in the air upon them, seems TO Us Of pos.
terity sufficiently bizarre. IL seems, according
TO Adams himself, (whose works are now going
through the press) that at Brunswick but one
ted could be procured for Dr. franklin and
him, in n chamber little larger than the bed.
without chimney, and with only one small
window. The window was open, and (says
Adams), who was an invalid and afraid Of the
air in the night shut it close. "Oh," said Frank.
lin, "don't shut the window, we shall be suffo.
Gated" ! answered, IL was afraid Of the eve.
ning air" Dr. Franklin replied, "The air within
the chamber will soon be, and indeed is now,
worse than that without doors. Come, oren
the window and come 10 bed, and will con
vince you. believe you are not acquainted
with my theory Of colds" Opening the win.
dow, and leaping into bed, said had read his
letters TO DR.. Cooper, in which he had advanced.
that nobody ever got cold by going into a cold
church or any other cold air, but the theory was
so little consistent with my experience, that
thought it paradox. However had so much
curiosity 60 hear his reasons that would run
the risk Of cold. The Doctor then began n
harrangue upon air and cold, and respiration,
and preparation, with which | was so much
amused, that | soon fell asleep. and left him and
his philosophy together, bot believe they were
equally sound and insensible within few
minutes after me, for the last words heard
were pronounced as IL he was more than half

Arrest OF a Fugitive Slave near DunkIrk.
The Negro Remanded 10 his Masier-Escape Of
four Others

BUFFALO, Oct l-9P.M.
A fugitive slave named Harrison, from Vir.
ginia, was arrested yesterday near Dunkirk, and
brought 10 this city.
After brief hearing in the case Of Harrson,
COMMISSIONS, Smith decided that the boy was
fugitive slave, and that he would make out an
order for his return He was ironed and taken
to Jail.
The courthouse was crowded with excited
citizens, who made a show Of resistance; but,
after some slight skirmishing within and with
out the court room, Harrison, however, was safe
ly lodged in jail. To prevent the escape or res
cue Of the prisoner, he was hsndcuffed TO Buff
falo constable named Hambest. The claimant
Of Harrison Is DR.. Parron, Of Hardy county,
Virginia.
The negro is a mulatto, and about 10 years
Of age. When about being removed from the
court room, he said, al would rather die than
return 10 slavery"
The Hon. Seth C. Hawley and II. s. Love,
esq, appeared for the fugitive, and James NJ.
Smith, esq, for the claimant.
The principal objection raised in favor Of the
prisoner was, that the affidavit on which the
warrant was issued did not state that Harrison
escaped from Virginia, or any other place, but
simply that he escaped. This point was, Of
course, over ruled.
-Four other fugitives for whom warrants were
issued, have escaped TO Canada.
