A letter from Mr. Alexander p. WILDER, ma

Boundary Commission, under date Ell Paso Del
Norte, Feb. I'd, 1851, confirms, to some extent,
the account of the Socorro affair which we pub
fish in to-day's Gazette from the New Orleans
Picayune. Mr. Wilbar was one Of the jury that
sat upon the case of the three accompices in the
murder of f. c. Clark, one of the commission
and says, after patient trial of two days, all
OF them were found guilty, and hung on the
same day the sentence was pronounced" This,
to me, says Dir. W., was n severe trial but
justice to my dead companion. justice to my re-
naming friends,and justice to myself, determined
my decision and joined in the verdict of guilty.

FuG;rrvE SLAVES Brought Il
Baltimore letter from Harrisburg, dated on
the 22d, says:
The thoroughfares of this usually demure
borough were again thronged, early this morn
ling, with an excited and threatening populsce-
the colored portion of the community being
called from the lanes and alleys of the suburbs
as suddenly us if trey had been but waiting the
sound Of some magic tocsin, as signal for n
rush, pell NELL towards the residence of Mr..
Commissioner McAllster. From the clenched
| teeth Of one and all was kissing forth the news
that u man and wife, and a baby, had arrived
in their midst in custody IA fugitive slaves, and
were about being remandei by the commits
sioner" The intensest feeling was evidently
abroad, though no positive breach of the peace
had been attempted.
The facts Of tbs case, as gathered them
| from the commissioner, are briefly these The
alleged fugitves were arrested in Columbia
yesterday BY Constable Snider, on a warrant,
brought 10 Harrisburg early this morning, and
| Immediately arraigaed before the United States
|commissioner, Mr.. McAllster, who at once pro-
ceeded to the examination.
By the evidence Daniel Franklin was proved
to be the slave for life Of DR.. r. Franklin, of
Anne Arundel county, Maryland, and Ally
Car line, about three years of age, were proved
TO be the slaves for life Of Barbara Wales, OF
Baltimore city. Immediately after the hearing
the usual certificates was made out, under the
act of Congress, and the fugiivcs ordered home.
The morning train for Baltimore, by way OF
York, and through the Cumberland Valley, hav-
ing started, (by which route it was intended to
convey the slaves into Maryland) they were taken
10 the tavern next the Dauphn county jail, and
were taken away in the evening train.
Governor Johnston has not signed the bill re-
pealing the section Of the kidnapping law oil
March Sd, IS47, which prohibits the use OF the
jails OF the Commonwealth for the detention OF
fugitives from labor; consequently. the Jail al
his place could not be opened for the security
pf the prisoners above alluded to. OF course
he repeating act cannot become a law until il
has the signature Of the executive, which he
may withhold until any time previous to three
lays after the converting Of the next legislature
