The LAW TRIUMPHANT. The growing
obedience to law in Philadelphia was
well exemplified at the c.ose of the exam
ination in the recent fugitive slave case,
of Which we fiEd the following report in
the Philadelphia Bulletin:
"Mr. Lee then asked that the slave be
sent back to his master. The Commis.
sioner inquired whether he shonld make
a writ of force? Mr.. Lee replied no-as
he would be very sorry to have his client
swear that he feared rescue, when no
such thing could be apprehended.
"The Commissioner made out war
rant delivering the fugitive into the GUS
tody of his master He was taken to
Marylan at two o'clock this afternoon.
1.-The whole affair passed off with as
little fuss as common assault and bat
terry case usually does before one of our
magistrates. Members of the several
abolition societies were present and some
of the most active colored abolitionist as
sisted in the defence by their counsel
yet all was calm and peaceable."

THE Rio Gromde IusaSxrectio7s.-

The Rio Graaade LssNxrectioa.-The
Tamoico Defensor of the 9th inst, states
that quite an exciting debate took place
on the 1st inst, in the Congress at Ia
maulipas. assembled at Victoria, on the
subject Of the insurrection along the Rio
Grande. Gen. Canales, Governor of the
State, asked permission of Congress to
90 in company with D. Jesus Cardenas
to treat witE the insurgents, and endeav-
or to pacify them, as it is expressed. At
ter protracted discussion the Congress
refused 20 grant the request, bat gave the
authorities power to employ all the forces
of tho State. including the National
Guard. for the purpose Of suppressing
the revolt; and authorized them to raise
funds, by hypothecating the public reve-
nues Senor Villasano made violent
speech against making any concessions
to the rebels.

SOUTHERN CoNGREss-The proposed
Southern Congress is likely to consist of
two members, viz; r. Barnwell Rhett,
and one other gentleman whose name
we do not now remember. Mr.. Rhett
will of course be president. and the other
gentleman clerk The convention was
TO meet at Montgomery, Alabama; but
since the Secessionlsts have been defeat
ed in that State, it is presumed that the
place Of meeting will be changed. 10
speak in palmer language, the plan OF
Southern Congress has totally failed
thanks 20 the noble Union sentiment so
extensively prevalent throughout the
South. But let it be remembered that
this Union sentiment rests upon the Com
promise. Take that away, o. let it be
disregarded by the North, aud the Union
party would be as completely demolished
at the South as the Secessionists now
have been. Everything depends upon a
faithful adherence TO the Compromise by
the North.

from Matamoras and the seat of war up

passengers and $34, ,4S3 in specie.
The fighting within the city of Mata-

gagged, with little intermission, for more
than week. Carvajal was advancing
on the west side of the town, and on the

of the Plaza, where Gen. Avalos has his
head q quarters. Here the latter was post
ed with eight or nlne pieces of artillery,
SO disposed as to cover each other. The
revolutionary leader had but single
piece, and was doubtless fighting his way
from house to house. As near as we can
recollect, the buildings on the western side
of the city until position within or 8
squares of the Plaza could be gained, are
principally low and built of adobes OF
sun-dried bricks. There may however
be few commanding brick or stone

TuE VERMONT MULTIPLICATION Law

The VERMONT MULTIPLICATION LAW
The Windsor Wt) Journal states that
the judiciary committee Of the House Of
representatives Of tha; State have made
a written report in favor of the obnoxious
part of the habeas corpus act Of the last
session. The chairman Of this committee
is Mr. Davis of Danville, who has been ON
the Supreme bench of the State. Judge
Davis, the Journal says. is known as one
of the ablest lawyers of the State, as
well as one of the most clear-headed and
candid of our public men. The report is
spoken OF as able and well worthy The
source from whence it emanates. The
Journal further SAYS:
"There is but little doubt that's a majority
of the members favor repeal or modihca.
ton. OF its impolicy Governor Williams
in his Message seems to have no doubt.
Of its unconstitutionality 1t Is well
known that our entire Congressional del
egation deemed it at the time both nn-
constitutional and ineXpedient. Such is
the judgment Of yearly all OF our most
eminent iurisis-and such, we are thor
oughly convinced, is the calm and en-
lightened judgment OF very large ma
jority of citizens of Vermont. Timidity,
false pride, and other motives that
ought not to govern intelligent and indie

of some members of the Legislature; bu,
we trust there will yet be found nerve
and stability enough 10 carry out the hon
est convictions of the majority, and to re-

AT the Mass Meeting recently as IN
Little Rock, the proceedings OF which
we publish on ou: first page, series OF
resolutions was introduced by Col. New
TON and Mr.. Aeebe, advocating the es-
eablishmeut of newssaEer at some
centra, point III the. State, "to be eAciu-
sively devoted to the encouragement OF
all industrial pursuits, in fostering and de-
veloping the commercial, agricultural
mineral, and manufacturing resources OF
oar country" "and also, to culti'a'e the
spirit of peace, and to seek win earnest
mass to eradicate from the minds Oh our
people all ancient. animostles' ana to u.s.
sipate all political. Social commercial ana
sectional jealouses.'
To the seutirpent embraced in these
resolutions, we give our hearty concur
renee. and express the hope that paper
founded upon such principles, and advo-
eating such noble obj sassa. may be speed
av esta 5Iished, aid extensively circulated
throughout the length and breadth OF our
State, disseminating correct lntormat'on
spon all the topics Of interest proposed
and especially abstaining from all partisan
warfare. and political rancor. There is,
perhaps, no one feature that more pa stlc-
uIarLy marks the character OF the news
paper press at the present day. than the
prevalence of bitter partisan animoslty,
and the bold and reckless oenunciation OF
men and measures. Subjects of national
and sectional interest are seldom discussed
with the candor and deliberation that
characterize inquiry after truth, and de-
sire to promote the best interests OF soei-
esv, but are almost invariably viewed
with jaundiced eye, through the distorted
media of party feeling aud sectional jeal-
ousy. Thus, in our own country, we see
factions arrayed against each other ia u
hostile attitude; each Que desirous of ac-
complishing its own peculiar aims, and
sfTessing the destruction of the other
without rsgard to the character OF the
means employed, or the good or ill effects
upon our social and national welfare.
Indeed, to such an extent is this VIM
dicativeness of party feeling carried, that
it manifests itself not alone in the simple
perversion of truth. but III the deliber-
ate aud wilful misstatement OF national
measures, and the fabrication of false and
malicious allegations.
Good and honest men of all parties
are becoming ase@ of this continual
strife, this guerilla warfare, in which the
weapons employed are not of the most
refined character, and from whose field Of
battle no one retires unsoiled with
the dust and filth that so thickly en-
velope the combatants.
