Indna and Illinois severalsy and expressly instruc-
ted their Senators insist the positive prohibition
of Slavery in the New Territories. They were par
tally obeyed in the letter, though not in the spirit Of
this requiston. and the present Legislature OF both
States have rescinded the instructions and expressly
approved the acts done in contravention thereof!
The following is one of the new Indiana Resolves,
preceded by strong approval of the Adjustment
measures Of last summer:
"SEc. 4. That joint resolution on the subject Of
Slavery approved January ls, 1850, be, and the same
is hereby repealed that the said resolution did not
express the sentiment of Indiana that Indiana then
was and is in favor Of the people in each State
and Territory passing all laws for their own govern
ment consistent with the constitution of the United
Stales."
This passed the House by a vote Of 65 to % ::
Ayes, Sc Opp, 9 Wing; Noes 25, Wing: Opp.
The Senate was certain to concur. Illinois has
passed similar resolutions by about IS to 15neary
party vote. New York. 1r'o''ne.
All this grieves the Tribune but it is just what the
South had right to expect. We are glad to 6nd a
better feeling sprngng up and acting in the free States
and no thanks to the New York Tribune.

THE ATTACK ON THE BASIS.


The Raleigh Star alleges that have misrepre
resented its position this subject We have done
no such thing. What we have uniformly said with
reference to the of that paper this subject
is this Before and after the Equal Suffrage Act had
received the sanction of the late Assembly, numb
er of the leaders of the Whg party pressing
unlimited Convention, with the avowed object-no
merely of establishing Equal Suffrage-but for the
purpose of changing the basis of representation. At
ter the Equal Suffrage Act had passed, these leader:
wrote and published Address, in which it is distinct
ly declared that they desire the people to consent tc
an unlimited Convention, in order to give them op
portunity of altering the basis; and these leaders
now engaged in scheme of agitation With this al.
terati on in view, as their paramount and leading
object.
The Star knows these things to be and yet that
paper goes for this Convention and takes this
to task for opposing it. We have not charged that
the Star against the basis directly, but that the
effect of the policy it advocates would be to throw
the whole question open discussion and agitation
and thus unsele, and probably destroy, the present
compromises OF the State Constitution.
But the Star says it is opposed respectfully to
any attempt disturb the Federal basis - of the
Commons. That paper, as the advocate Of this
sectional movement. may well say that. The West-
Coun ties already hore majority in the House Of
Commons, and with this they content; but those
who put forth the Address above alluded to, wish
also obtain the sway in the Senate, and in order to
do this, they laboring to change and destroy
the Senate basis. What does the Star say to that
1t is useless for the Star to attempt to disguise he
se sb,h hotfoo of isoo
in this matter; but We are determined that that pa
per- and every other paper in the State which plays
at such game, shall be thoroughly exposed.

A Fugitive slave Case in chicago.


 The ability of the courts, and the disposition of the people, to execute the Fugitive Slave law, is about to be tested in Chicago. The only account we have of the affair is in the Chicago Tribune of the 2d instant-a paper with strong abolition ten dencies.
 4 Fagitire Case.-Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock. Deputy Marshal Baker arrested young eolored man, calling himself Moses John- son.. upon State street, upon warrant issued on SafuFaay, at the instance of person professing to act as the agen, of the claimant, who resides in Missouri. He was taken at once to the United States Court room, Saloon Buildinds, but on ac- count of the prisoner not being provided with coun sel, the examination was postponed till 10 o'clock this morning. at the same place. We learn that W. Z T. Freshman, Esq, IS engaged as counsel for the claimant, aud that L. c. r. Freer, Grant Goodrich, and Calvin De Wolf Esq, have volun- teered for the defence. The prisoner has resided in the city considerable time, and says he came from Cands.
 During the afternoon quite number of colored and other persons collected around the corner of the Saloon Building and before the Court room, and most of those who desred it were admitted, including several eoiored persons. The Deputy Marshal concluded to retain the prisoner in the Court room during the night several persons vol unteerlng to keep guard over him. Some of the frends of the prisoner were also invited to stay in the room to guard agalnst unfair play. The Dep uty Marshal seems disposed to give the prisoner every legal opportunity to prove his freedom, con slstentent with the execution of his official duty
 In the evening. several hundred persons assem- bled in front of the Saloon Building, many of them colored. and strong sympathy for the prisoner was manifested

The Town Finances.

Mr.. Editor-If third party may say a
word in relation to the financial condition of
the town, as discussing between V. aud D.,
the difficulty of D. is easily removed. The
question is. Why is our town paying annu-
ally interest on over $4,000 and yet appears
to have been in debt. Octnber LIST. 1850,
only $4a7 O8. The answer is simply this,
We are one gear Gehindhand. The town
must meet its current expenses, which are
on an average between three and four hun
dred dollars monthly and to do which, the
money is taken which is paid by the col>
lector of taxes in to the Treasury, but
WHICH was counted in the annual report as
means to pay the debt-and this has been
the process for many years.
Asan; individual may owe. say 5000 on
interest. / may have $500 in all due me
from two or three or four hundred individ-
uals. I may report in figures, owe bal
ance of 800: but if am under the alb
solute necessity to use every dollar of that
$500 as fast as / can collect it. to live,
may as well call myself in debt $500. and
provide other means, if can, to meet it.
1t is no use for me to count, as means to pay
debt, such resources +; it is only putting off
the evil day.
An extra tax of 8 or 10 cents on the dol.
lar hid AND collected to pay the debt, will
only place our town as it should be tten,
while the Selectmen would report the
town free from debt, and taxes laid un.
collected, due the town, some $4,000;
vet as collected. they will only meet in
dispensable expenses. The remedy may
not be app!ied-it may be unpopular !;
but Gifts csrtai"ty there can be no doubt.
Let it be applied, AUD our town taxes
may at once be reduced 5 or 6 or 2
mills annually. now Indispensable to meet
the item Of interest, Now. shall we ap.
ply it, or leave the remedy for posterily,
visiting the ini4uities Of the fathers up
on the children"
For one. as native Of this town. de.
sire for its reputation, when the world
shall end. that as a corporate body it
shall close its existence free from debt.
