The Fugitive Slave Law.

The rescue by violence of fugitive slave in this
city Saturday, while he was in court of justice
in custody of officer OF the law, related in
other column Of this paper will naturally suggest
TO the Legislature in session the propriety Of
repeating the act passed in lS43, called an act fur
ther to protect personal liberty" II cannot be pre-
eumed to have been the intention of the trainers Of
that law to protect personal liberty in violation of
the Constitution OF the United States, or in oppos
ton TO the clear provisions Of law Of the United
States tmay be charitably presumed that the
members of the Legislature, who passed that law,
had adopted construction Of the provision of the
Constitution relating to the surrender of fugitive
slaves and Of the only act Of Congress then in force
in reference 10 the subject, which could be recon-
ced with the provisions of the law TO which they
gave their sanction.
At the present time, however, after the discussion
which this provision of the Constitution and the late
act Of Congress for the restoration of fugitive slaves
TO their masters have undergone, we Believe there
few persons, OF sufficient understanding to quail
ify them TO be members Of the Legislature, who
will pretend to say that the obligations of that act
not binding upon every citizen OF Massachu-
eetts, Notwithstanding the provisions of the law of
the Massachusetts, Legislature to which we have
referred above.
the following words: "No sheriff. deputy sheriff.
coroner constable, jailer, other officer of this
Commonw wealth. shall hereafter arrest or detan,
aid in the arrest, detention, or imprisonment,
in any Jail other building belonging to this
Commonwealth, or to any county, city, or town
thereof, of any person for the reason that he s
claimed as a fugitive slave"
The third section Of the law makes any act in
violation of the second section punishable by hne
not exceeding one thousand dollars, or by impris-
onment not exceeding one year.
II must be very obvious that the maintenance Of
such law as this among the statutes Of Massa-
chusetts tends to encourage violation OF the Con-
stitution and resistance Of the laws Of the United
States. IL in part invites resistance by increasing
the chances Of success ia clearly proved by the
incident of Saturday last, 10 which have refer

very eyes of the Legislature. any argument to
prove the cxpediency Of the repeal Of the law must
be regarded as quite superfiuous.

have countenanced and advised this fragrant act Of
resistance to the laws Of the Union, forbear to

WHEREAS information has been received, that

much Of the report of the Board of Army and

That our readers may be in possession of the
facts which have called forth the above procla-
nation, we devote large space in our columns
this morning to the history of the rescue Of
prisoner from the officers of justice by mob of
blacks, at MONDAY, in the city Of Boston. To
these reports we have appended the editorial
remarks of several newspapers Of that city,
most of which characterize the affair by suita-
BILE epithets, and comment upon it with just
severity.
We have reprinted the article from the Com
n,on,cealth at length, preserving its typograph
ical embellishments and its inflammatory head
ings, for several reasons. And first, because
the paper is the organ of the coalition which is
seeking TO elect Mr.. CHARLES SUMNER to the
Senate Of the United States; and the very ar
ticle which we cite is followed by another, clam
orously calling upon the Democrats in the Le
gislature to fulfil their bargain, and to "pay
what is due" Again, it is worth while for
those who preach the "higher law" and who
denounce the Constitution rs an ''atrocious
doctrines are carrying their deluded followers
That negro mob should rescue prisoner
from legal custody in the city Of Boston indi-
Gates an impotence or Indifference, on the part
of the civil authorities there, which make Fed
eral interposition necessary to prevent the name
of Government from falling into contempt.
We are well assured that neither municipal
neglect, nor State notification. will be efec-
tual in evadng or subverting the law. The
Federal Executive will maintain its authority
at all hazards, by its ordinary powers in the
first instance. and by the exercise of all the
means confided TO it by the laws for the pun
ishment of offenders, and TO prevent the recur-
renee Of the offence.
The Boston journals from which have quoted
present the subject in all its aspects and super
sede tho necessity of any further comments.
We therefore suspend our own observations
until the response to Mr.. CLAY's resolution
shall place us in full possession of the views OF
the Executive Departments as TO the specific
measures called for by the state Of things ind
Gated by this extraordinary occurrence.
