OPPOSITION TO THE LAw.-The agiators who for the
last SIX months have been trying to persuade themselves
and others that IN Boston, where republican Intelligence
is general and where reverence Tor the Union and the
constitution is so deeply rooted, a law oil the United
States consiuonally enacted could not be carried out,
were deporaby disappointed yesterday. With all their
meetings. they have found themselves small and lmbe-
Gle faction, compared with the overwhelming majority
Of our aw.abding citizens, who are resolved, at all
hazards, TO uphold The laws, the constitution. and the
Union The agators do not disguise their disappoint-
ment After all their vaporings and threats of violent
sance they nd that Boston is rot yet prepared 10 give
herself up to the tender merces OF the mob law
counlenance treason and Reorganization. They had
"hoEed better things" but now acknowledge that 'they
mistaken in the temper OF The people"
Many who disapproye the most vehementy of the law
Of the last session are firm flint when the alternative
spesented OF choice between violent resistance and
the obvious duties OF good citizen. Even those who
would agitae Tor the repeal OF what they consider an
marked line OF distinction between resistance by demon
slration OF force and by .'moral suasion." We have
long been convinced that when the true pre-
ssnted Boston wond justify the expectations OF those
advocates OF riot and bloodshed who 10 have

Although we may teploe the occasion that has drawn
forth this exhibition OF the law abiding spIit Of Bosto
mans. it is well perhaps, that the teluded gentlemen who
have been telling for the last year that law of the
United States could not be executed in this city should
be undeceved. We have heard OF men, holding
influential position in society, who have talked and
scoded themselves into the conviction that the law
would be lramped on, and those who attempted 10 exc
cute il shot down like dogs. Perhaps it is well tha
fanatics OF this stamp should have their eyes opened 10
the true slate OF the case.
The laws will be carried out o. this every citizen
may assured The vigilant and efficient meas

citizens who counsel violent resistance and call upon
blacks and whites TO themselves against the agents
