& ono iu.iou of the Boston Slave Case.

The case of the fugitive slave Simms, which
caused so much excitement in Boston, has been
brought to a final termination, and the fagi-
tive was Yesterday placed board vessel
bound TO Savannah. in Georgia, the State from
which he fed, and where his owner -esides.
Notwithstanding the raving and ranting Of the
abolition fanatics, the petite yging Of the abol-
ton lawyers, and the resolutions and threats Of
Wendell Phillips. Theodore PaEkc-, Lloyd CARR
son. and other people Of that stamp, tie !a8 md he
constitution have been fulfilled il this case, and
Smms goes back to tie place whence he came, in
charge Of the United states Marshal Of Massachu-
sets.
The extradition Of Simms, after no was proven
10 be fugitive from labor, is q triumph Of The
constitution, which is important as it - graft
flying at this particular crisis in the history .. this
republic. 1t reflects the greatest credit ca liz Gu
thorities of Boston, and contradcts, in tie most
emphatic manner, the assertion, often made by
the fanatics Of tia. city, that the Fugitive Slave
law could not be enforced IN any part Of Massachu-
sctts. Every expedient that tanaticism could de-
wise was put into requsition, to prevent The extra
d.ion Of Simms, but without effect. At one lime
il was supposed the Abolitionists would resort I,
force, to prevent his being taken away, bat they
did not think proper TO carry their resolutions and
threats to DO so into execution They afraid to
commit any overt act and bring Themselves within
the power Of the law, assured, we have ne doubt,
that by doing they would receive the punish
mcnt which such con iuct would Justly merit
But the people Of Boston must not rest satisfied
with a mere vindication Of the law and Of the
stitution, in this case. They have effected that,
and effected well and molly IN the face Of all tic
abolition and fanatcal opposition bu. they have
much more TO 10. The incendiaries Of Boston and
Massachusetts, headed by such men az Wendell
Phillips and Lloyd Garrison, Of that city and 81 lei
and assisted by John Van buren, and William II
Seward of this state, still agitatng the public
mind Of New England, as wei Of New York, on
the subject Of slavery, and .;ermined 70 con
tinuc the agitation long they possibly can.
William III. Seward and tho wing apolitionists OIL
one side. and John Van Burcn and tue rabid free
sellers Of the democratic party the other, have
both joined forces, and gone over T. the fanatics
Of New England They ire il the pCsiti9a
which we always said they would finally reach for
abolitionism when once INDUCED in, knows ~
bounds. Like fanaticsm o:evcry other description,
abolitiouism, may commence with opposition 70 the
extension Of slavery but il viii degenerate into
wildness, and throw of all restraint and even Tho
form Of dceency. William j seward aud foha
IAN Burenare where 80 Away. haze .aid they
would BE- e,enually-part ard parcel ofthe Garrison
school 81 fanatics, IL New England and 10 New

These fanatics arc about % hold regular annual
meeting, the seventh ofNIay. d; yracuse. IN this
state. Since John Van Bagcn and william II
Seward have gone over q them, they will x
course, consider themselves stronger aud more pow
eriul than they ever we're, and they viii probably
have orc of the strongest demonstrations # the kind

and make their influence felt throughout this state
and the whole North. The friends Of The Union aud

and more violent than ever We 1--we IN dangerous
times and acIion-action must be the watchword
