What it ell Mems.

The Buffalo Commercial advertiser,
whose Editor is understood to hold very
intimate personal relation to President
Fillmore, has a letter from Washington,
conspicuously paraded under its Editorial
head, purporting to set forth the reasons
why HAMILTON FISH was and should have
been defeated. The upshot Of his long
story is as follows-Mr. Fillmore is now the
strongest Wing candidate in other States
for next President-bu Mr.. Fillmore seems
to be weak in his own State because the
Legislature don't approve the Fugitive
Slave Law-this attitude of EARNED neu-
trality must be broken down, or Mr.. Fill
more will not be likely to receive the nom
ination-wherefore Mr.. Fish must be de-
feated unless the Legislature will pass
some sort of Varnum or Thompson resOlu-
tons (If the logic seems to limp, how

Rebellion in the BLOOD.
glOry.'

The lower law journals and speech
makers are indulging in unmeasured defa-
nation of the People of Massachusetts,
especially those of Boston, on what seem to
US very insufficient grounds. 1t is very
true that large majority of the Bostonians
detest the Fugitive Slave Law and mean to
have nothing to do with it; but 1t is not true
that they bore any part in the recentrescue
of the black Shadrach Sherwood, claimed
as e fugitive slave, from his jailors' nor that
they even knew anything of it until the al
fair was entirely over. What, them have
they done to subject them to such torrents
of abusel The negro was arrested, pat on
trial for his liberty, and was probably In
danger of losing it, when hundred or TWO
of his colored brethren helped him to get
away. This is the whole case. Probably
nine tenths of the citizens Of Boston knew
nothing of the matter-not even that this
alleged fugitive ever existed-until after ne
had escaped. And this is not the first nor
the fifty first, case Of an alleged fugitive
Slave being aided to escape from his cap
tors. Why, then, is Boston singled out Tor
such an outpouriug of pro-Slavery indigna-
ton
But Boston is used to denunclatlon.
She endured more of it, and far hotter,
seventy or eighty years ago, and 1t did not
seem to set her back great deal. We take
the following specimen from The Pennsyl-
raniQ Journal 10y VIM. and Thos. Brad
ford, Philadelphia OF June 20th, l775. IL

The Maryland Reform Convention.

ANNAPOLIS, "wednesday, Feb. 49,
Memorial numerously signed by citizens OF
New York was laid before the Convention detail
ing the evils growing out of vending Foreign Lot.
terry Tickets in that State, and praying the incor.
pOration of an article in the organic Law Of this
State entirely and forever prohibiting the drawing
Of Lotteries within the State of Maryland. MIR.
Donaldson spoke in favor of the memorial, and DC.
cared his intention of introducing clause to forbid
all future Lottery grants by the Legislature, and 70
draw those existing to n speedy close. Several
members opposed the Memorial as foreign inter
ference with the State Institutions, and it was f.
nally laid on the table to take up the order Of
the day.

There was much talk, but little action.
The SENATE had up the Postage Reduc-
ton bill, and made one good amendment,
rejecting a number. Very little was &C
complished. The bill remains in Commit
tee of the Whole.
The HOUSE talked about Steamships and
Mails, and indicated disposition to extend
the Steamship Mail system. But little was
effected.
