PUBLIC OPINION IN BosroN.-Athough some ex-
element exists in the city at the present time, in
relation to the fugitive slave arrest and the Adolf
tonists and Free sellers are using their utmost ex-
ertions to create riot yet we are happy to state
that public opinion is emphatically in favor of
sustaining the laws that there is little danger of
serious breach of the peace. The Aboitionsts are
disappointed with the slender harvest they have
rcaped from the seeds Of agitation and notification
which they have sown broadcast. The meeting
called in front of the State house yesterday after
noon was decidedly and emphatically a failure.
Not moro than ono hundred persons were present
at any one time, either with or without arms"
and many Of these were probably attracted by Gu
riosity. There were evidently few sympathizers
among the auditors. The fiery denunciations, the
fanatical appeals, and tho insane rawlings of the
orators, have fallen coldly upon the of the peo-
pie at large, and resistance to the laws is evidently
an unpopular doctrine.
The authorities OF the city have made timely
preparations to meet any emergency, yet we are
happy to state that the ordinary police force is,
and will doubtless continue TO be, amply sufficient
10 preserve order and to maintain the sanctity of
our courts OF justice and the majesty Of the laws
The abolitionists are evidently disappointed at the
failure of their attempts to create riot, and we
opine that shall hereafter hear but little of for
cible resistance to the laws The public opinion of
Boston on the subject of executing the laws is
sound, and the fair fame of our city will DO pre-.
served.

Gratis. There 10 moro acquicsence political topics
now than At any former period; and when Wings
and Locofocos meet they converse far moro plea
sanity together than they were accustomed to do
in past years. This feeling Of reconciliation is
greatly owing to the fact that men of the two par
tics, general rule, entertain the same views in
relation TO the conduct of the Administration. Had
the Administration been vindictive, or narrowly
partisan, the old partisan animositics would have
been maintained; and, instead of agreeing when
they meet together, Wings and Locofocos would
continue to be uncompromisingly hostile to each
other.
Such being our views of the remarkable unan-
unity Of the people Of all parties in relation to the
merits of the present Administration, we confess
we have been surprised to notice of late certain
movements in certain quarters to bring out lead
ing Wings candidates for tho Presidency in
1854. Several Wing newspapers have been 80 in
considerate to place At their heads the names Of
distinguished Wings AZ those whom they would
prefer to sustain the next Presidential contest and
some meetings have been held in few of the States
for the purpose of recommending certain Wing
candidates for the Presidency next year. We
think all such demonstrations utterly premature.
and calculated to SOW the seeds of discord in the
Wing party.
II seems to US to be clearly the dictate of wis
dom that there shall be no attempts 10 forestal the
Wing nomination during the present year. There
will be enough time next year TO talk Of candi-
dates. Within the next twelve or eighteen months
events may occur which may greatly change tho
desires Of the Wings of the country in relation to
their candidates for tho Presidency and Vice Pro-
sidsncy. BY "a course of frmness and prudence,
ne Wings will certainly be able to elect whomso-

From the Bosfon Traveller Of Saturday afternoon.
AsIrArioN MEErlNas-Wc have given, in ano-
thcr column, sufficiently full report Of tho assem-
blagcs which were held yesterday afternoon and
evening, in reference to the recent arrest Of fugi
tive slave to show the spirit and object Of the meet
ings. II will be seen that the spirit cmincntly
bad, and the proceedings leave no room TO doubt
that the object was merely TO fan the fame OF agi-
tation. The sentiments expressed by the Rev. Mr..
Colver, Mr.. Wendell Phillips, and others, were in
the highest degree rebcllious and mobbish, and
ought to receive the indignant rcprobation of every
good citizen.

THE SHEcKLEs' SUIT FOR LIpEL-we are
informed by the Boston Daily Advertissr, that
the suit against the trustees who controlled the
Commonwealth" newspaper, brought by Mr..
Sheckles, Of Georgetown, has resulted in YER
dict for the plaintiff, with $500 damages The
gist Of the libel was the statement or insinua-
ton that Mr.. Sheckles had received money to
buy the freedom Of one Ringgold, and then in
duced him to come to Washington, with the
view Of recommitting him to slavery. 1t was
in proof and admitted that the statement was
mistaken one. The court ruled that the news
paper Fought to know that it was right before
it told such stories and if il was wrong, il
should pay for the damages 1t caused" We
also think the court or jury ought to know the
value Of mans good name before attempting
to fix price upon it. A kidnapper, in this re-
gion at least, is regarded with more odium than
$4OO would pay one for becoming.

we do not know, except that he informed us he
was alluded to in that card, and that his name
was Henri De Alma. He read to us his article,
which we declined publishing. He departed,
and in an hour or SO returned with note, which
he wished to have inserted, if we should still
decline the former. This note is as follows
WASHINGTON, September 8, 1851.
GENTLEMEN: Iagain appeal to you to publish
my reply to the article in your paper of Satur-
day last, headed Warming" and signed G.
7ochman." | am, as you are fully aware, the
Bavarian officer referred to in that communica-
ton. You have admitted into your paper gross
libel upon me, and when ask to repel the SLAM
der it contains, you reply, you will not consent
to open your columns to an attack upon wo-
man, unless under guaranty from counsel
that you will not be prosecuted, and the pay
ment Of 1875. l am ready to pay the money,
but cannot ask any counsel for such qua
ranty as you require. My object is not to at
tack woman. 1t is to refute libel by plain
statement Of facts. And if woman is Incl
dentally affected by that statement, her husband
alone is to blame for it. He has waited more
than two months, since first communicated to
him in person all, and more than is contained
in the affidavit to which he alludes and he has
seen the affidavit itself If your journal is free
to attack under such circumstances it ought to
be free to repel the attack; and ask you in
justice to allow the reply on the same terms,
if you require it, that the attack was admitted.
HENRI DE alma.
We reply:
/. We are not aware he is the Bavarian officer
referred to.
2. If Major Tochmans defence of his wife is
gross libel on this person, we are quite guilty
of publishing it.
8. All the guarantees and all the fees in the
world would not induce US to open our columns
to an attack on woman, although the gentle
man is "ready to pay the money"
Finally, if this gentleman comes to. US intro
duced and vouched for by any responsible gen.
tleman known to us, he shall have no reason to
complain of the exclusion from our columns of
any proper defence he may have to make. The
affair, however, being private one between
Major Tochman and him, and our columns being
private property, we shall demand strict COM
pliance with our advertising terms.
