Successful Resistance to the Fugitive
Slave Law,

IN account Of the capture, rescue, recapture,
and second rescue and final escape Of slave,
ut Syracuse, New York. This is the third
successful demonstration of opposition 10 tho
Fugitive Slave Law by the Northern States
first in Massachusetts,, then in Pennsyl-
vania, and now in New York. In Pcnnsyl-
vania the votarics Of the Law arc being
made TO pay the penalty, as we trust they
will be in this last case. The press and
public sentiment at the North, in this in
stance, as III both the former, are loud and
strong in condemnation of the act. The
Marshal in this last case, seems TO have done
his duty with spirit. and TO have taken the
proper precaution for the safety of his pris-
oncr. lie had his arm broken in two pla-
ces in resisting the mob. He called on the
Sheriff for aid; and it was granted. But the
Colonel, TO whose regiment the companies
called out belonged, ordered them TO disband.
The troops refused to disband without a
uritten order. 1t was given; after which the
rescue was made with IMMUNITY.
o. Tdnderbcry, is the name OF the hero,
who thus distinguished himself in coun-
tenancing violence against the laws Of lis
country. 1t is 10 be hoped the Indignation
of the People and the Law will both &c VS.
tied upon his head:

O'Clock, they b,eln to break in the window

any one. Several persons were badly hur
from clubs and stones. but none seriously.
