SLAVE RIOT AT SYRACUSE.

On the LIST day of October, fugitive slave was
arrested in Syracuse, N. Y and claimed by John
McRcynolds of Marion County, Missouri During
the examination before the Commissioners the
noise and confusion became so great that it was
impossible to proceed at the time Of the ADJOURN
mcnt rush was made by whites and negroes the
officers were overpowered, and the fugitive made
his escape-he was, however, subsequently arres.
ted, and again made his escape. Great blame at
tachcs to the Mayor, Charles A. Wheaton He
not only did not aid the officers in the discharge
ofthcir duty, but at his request, the three mill
tary Companies which had been ordered out by
the Sheriff, were dismissed, and he was heard to
express desire that the law should not be execu-
ted and his own determination to do all in his
power to prevent its execution. Several promi-
ncnt citizens of Syracuse were engaged in the riot
and have, therefore, rendered themselves amenda-
blc TO the law. Newspapers throughout the State
of New York unite in condemning thelate oppo-
siion 10 the laws of the United States at Syracuse
in wrestling prisoner from the custody of a Uni
ted States officer.

before mndc his escape from the officers in Md
A large reward was offered for his arrest, In his
efforts to escape from those who pursued him here,
he made desperate resistance, threatened and
endangered the lives Of any who might approach
him. He freely used a knife, and gave Messrs.
VIM. Caskic, Joseph Kcarns and John W. Stewart
severe cuts and stabs. lie was finally captured,
aboa. two miles from town: after being severely
beatsn by s'oles, clubs, &c, the only effectual

only remains for the Wings to organize tho
roughly in every county, and to give zeal
Gus support to their cause and their candi
dates. They should put forth their whole
strength, and exert it with ardor and conf

Mr.. Faulkner deserves credit for having advanced
