WASHINGTON, Oct. 3
President Fillmore, on Monday, issued orders
to the District Attorney of Northern New York,
directing the immediate prosecution of all, ire
spectivc OF persons, who took part or aided and
abetted IN the recent reasonable outrage at ST.
racusc.
The President is determined that these rcck-
less trainplcrs upon law and doers in treason
shall lie d. alt with according to their desert re-
gardless of number and position
am advised by letter, from high authority at
Syracuse, that number of prominent cit zens
are identified as leaders in the nctaricgs trans
action.
/ am also advised from Syracuse, that
complaint exists against Commissioner Sabine
for his unnecessary adiournments and delay, and
for his temporlzing and exhibition Ct tilnidity,
aso for his indulgence before him of the abo-
lition lawyers in ntlamatory speeches not ger
name to the record However much or howcv-
er little cause there may be for these complaints,
it is certain that this same Mr.. Sabine but ve-
ry few years ago was kn0,rn AJo!itionist; and
it is certain, furthermore, that he is nor en-
emy of the compromise measures in general,
and the Fugitive Slave Law in particular, un-
less recent change has come over him.
| The District Court of Northern New York is
! probably MT in possession cf these flc.s.
can hardly think that the distinguished chief of
that tribunal would knowingly suffer man of
this stamp to hold the post CT U. s. Commits
soner under his appointment.

| In this letter, says the Bulrllo Express, there
/ is food for much serious reflection Only two
years ago the Commissioner Abolition
ist. Two years is not g sufficient space for re-
pentance " Why has not the Court dismiss
ed the Commissioner? Shall it be psrrlt.e
that "an enemy of the Compromise measures
in general and the Fugitive slave Law in partc
ular, shall be tolerated in federal Office du-
ring this kings reign Forbid it Cotton For
bid it Compromise Turn him cut and ap-
point 'nose of wax III his place. There arc
some even in Syracuse.
! The Buffalo Express which breathcs treason
in every line of the above extracts is one of the
leading Wing journals in New York. But is
the course of the Express any worse, than the
appointment and retention in office, b. the
President, of men, who wink at treason and en-
courage disobcdence of the laws, merely fer
the purpose of cancilatng Seward and his tribe.
The President may pretend to condemn aboli-
tionsm as much rs he pleases, the people are net
to bcgullcd with such hypocri.ical nonsense.
- The Young ladies of rausiietoc Distric.
s. C., are about to organize themselves into 2
mounted corps in defence of South Carolina
and for mortal war upon tha rest cf the Uni
ted States. They are to be furnished with light
calbnes by the commander-in-chief Of the army
and chief Of the army and navy Of the ptlissant
republic c.-Cin. .IoHparaei.
What a strang. kind of women they must
have down in South Carolina, to encourage an
organization in opposition to Union. South
Carolina chivalry sometimes assumes singular
freaks and adopts remarkable mconsisten-
cics. As they are to be {. furnished with light
carbines, (broomsLicks we suppose) it may te
the better part of valor for spectators to tlkc
their position as far from these instruments of
death as possible.
