The Boston Axitatora.

The anti-Slavery men and negroes of Boston have completely turned the tables upon President Fillmore and his officials with regard to the late fugitive slave case. They laugh to scorn the im- beetle proclamation of the Executive, and are go- ing ahead with promptness by which the head of the people and Of the law would do well to take example.
 They have arrested upon charge of false im- prisonment George Lamb Esq, the [. S. District Attorney, at Boston, George F. Curtis the C s. Commissioner and Patrick Riley the Deputy U. S. Marshall and have held them to bail for their ap- pearance at court. The damages in each case are laid at sl0.0Oo.
 A writ has also been issued anJ reward offered for the arrest of Copehart the attorney for the CT of the slave. It is supposed that several other Government and State officers will be arrested shortly. The ground upon which the suits are brought is, that the Fugitive Slave Law IS uncon- sltutional, and the officer acted without authority.

We are pleased at seeing the Democracy mak. lag some movement towurd seeding delegates to the Aprl convention.
 Meetings will be held for that purpose.
 In Union eoansy sA the first Monday Of the Union Circuit Court
 Ia Osaehita the saturday preceding Circuit Court Of that county has becs suggested.
 In Saline county. the meeting viii be held at Benton on the second Saturday in April. In Sebastian county the meeting was to have been held at Fort Smith yesterday.
 We hope that the Democrats of Pulaski eoun- ty will take hold of the matter before long. The Second Monday of April has been suggested as . fitting time 6Or the purpose.
 We earnestly trust that county conventions will Ne held for this purpose in every county in the Statss and that good and true men. firm and tried and impartial democrats will be sent up as dele gates to the convention.
 It is important to the interest of the whole party that all the Democracy of Arkansas should be fully and fairly represented in the April conven- tion It will be the only way to secure Gu undi- vided support to the nominee, and to sustain the interests. and the supremacy of the constitutional fpany.
 The whigs are watching anxiously and expect an easy victory on account of the multiplicity of candidates for the nomination. The Democracy can, and we doubt not will unite and disappont them. Let us be as we should cone and indivis- ible."
 The Democratic party can never be divided upon principles, they are fixed, unchanging and unehangeable, fl would be treason to the party to abandon these principles for men.
 Let every Democrat in the State be at his post, let us put our shoulders together and, firm and united, in spite of factions and factoniss, push on to victory.
 U- Since writing the above. we have been call cd upon with a Card, requesting meeting of the Democracy of Pulaski, on the 2d Monday of April next
 We ask the attention of all democrats to this call, and trust they will turn out mGsse upon that occasion.

Cuban Prosecutions ended, and Gen. c uit-
 man Discharged.

man Discharged.
 The successive mis- trials in the case of General HENDERSON, for his cooperation with the Cuban expedition, have induced the United States District Attorney to enter nolle Trosequi in his case, and of all othe rs indicted for similar offence. This restores Ex Governor QIrNAN to his State. but not to the station which he resigned. The miserable farce has been played out by the tools of the ad- ministrauon of attempting to destroy man like QurNAN, not only at much expense to the govern ment but except for the good sense and atriotsm of this disting gurshed officer, at the cost perhaps ofA civil war. The coniempt and disgrace which must attach to the administration Tn ths whole af fair will become apparent to the world, while the design of the movement will prevent anything like regret or sympathy for the failure of MT. FILLMORE in his malicious and dangerous, but happily harm less attempt to infringe upon the rights of south ern State. The Delta. of the Stb instant, has the following statement in relation to this subject:
 ''The third trial Of Gen. J. Henderson, accused of being concerned in the late Cuban expedition, in violation of the Neutrality Laws, resulted in mistriaL. The jury were unable to agree on yer dict. It is reported that there were eleven for acquittal. and one for conviction. The case was submitted to the jury late on Thursday, and yes- terday morning they came into coart, and amour ced the;r disagreement, and were discharged The District Attorney, Mfr Hunton. rose and remarked ii would be impossible to empanel another jury The cases growing out of the Cuban expedition had already attracted SO much attention, that the names of more than thousand persons had been drawn, before an impartial jury could be made up. Under all the circumstances Of the case. the Dis trict attorney moved that asie f~asegsa be entered
 He further remarked, that as he could adduce no stronger proof against any of the individuals who stand indicted for like offences. on account of alleged violations of the Neutrality Eiws of Congress for participating in the late Cuban expe- dition, he would, with the leave of the Court, enter As!ie. pzoseGaa in every case. The govern ment had disc harged its daty in endeavorng faith fully to execute the laws. A Rsile Erassqla was accordingly entereI m each and every case, and thus the prosecution is ended. This dispases of the cases of Gen. Quiiiaan and Judge Sinth from Msssissippi.''

The Tncorruptible Corrup,ed.

We learn. from some of our exchanges, that Mir. ALLEN, free soil member of Congress from Mas sachusetts, has made a charge against the Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER, that previous to his acceptance of the office of Secretary of State, he "asked and obtained from bsnkcrs in New York and Boston, the sum of s500,00O on condition that he should accept the office, and administer it for their bene- fit" ''It was not" said Mir. ALLEN, "a donation to him, but br1bs." The statement was denied by authority from Mir. WEBSTER. Whether true or false this charge should send either the culprt or the slanderer to the Penitentiary for the rest of his life.
 We hope, for the honor of the country, that the charge may be proved unfounded and malicious. We have always been willing to acknowledge the superior ability of Nil. WEBSTER as a jurist and orator, but we never have had any confidence in the political honesty of man who has, for years, subsisted upon an income furnished to hm by the merchants of Boston as payment for his services in their behalf. upon the floor of the United States Senate. If this charge be sustained, it must cer- tainly open the eyes of the people of the Union to the basely dishonest and traiterouS character of the present whig administration. It has already been shown that there has been more pilferins committed, by government officers, under TAYLOR and FILLMORE, than ever yet was attempted, and now this charge, of so serious and criminal na- ture against the God lke' head and front, and maia prop of the whole whig household, is enough to shake the faith of the blindest devotee of the great no-party party, and convince him that there is neither moral nor political honesty purity in men who profess no principles and own no alegi- ance except to the spoilS of office.
