Boston, April 9th.--Fagitipe !Slaue Case
The case of the negro Symmes begins to as
sumo more serious aspect and direct COLI
sion between the General and State Govern
ments appears to be threatened. In the Mas
sachusetts Senate to day, an order was passed
by vote of 70 tot, appointing committee to
inquire "whether the freedom of any inhabitant
of this Commonwealth is in danger through the
remissness of any officer thereof, or if any law
for the security of personal freedom had been
violated by any officer Of the city or State"
This movement is in consequence of the re-
fusal of the sheriff to serve writ of replevin
upon the marshal, and also his refusal to serve
a criminal warrant upon Symmes for assaulting
the officer who arrested him, both of which
were designed to get Symmes out of the hands
of the U. S. authorities. The committee is now in
session. The governor has also directed the
attorney general TO consult with the sheriff re-
lative to serving the writ of replevin upon the
marshal.
Immense placards are posted about, calling
on the citizens and all opponents of slavery to
assemble at the State-house, on Friday, and
witness the States disgrace in the delivery up
of Symmes.
