CHAPLIN TO BE DEMANDED.-The bail which
was given for the appearance of Chaplin before
the county court, now sitting at Ellcott's Mills,
to answer several indictments charging him with
attempting to kill, &c, has been forfeited. When
the case was called before the court, Chaplin
was not there to answer, and of consequence, the
bail was forfeited. We understand that the
money will be paid by the security, on proper
demand.
The question now comes up, is this man, Of
can any man,-charged with a criminal offence
in this State, be released. from punishment, by
paying the forfeit of bond. which he gave foI
his appearance to answer the charge OF course
he cannot. The bail was for his appearance
rot 10 free him from trial. This Chaplin IT,
therefore, now fugitive from justice, and will,
We understand, be demanded by the governor.
We assume, Of course, that he will be given up
by the governor of any State, wherever he may
be found. We assume this, because we would
not willingly believe that any governor would
be found faitbless to his duty and his oath of
Office by refusing to give him up. The asso-
ciates of Chaplin, however, seem to think other
wise. We shall soon see, whether they are
right in the estimate they place on the governor
of the State where he is-Bah. Pafrioi

The victorious Sewardtes seem disposed to
give no quarter to the vanquishsd Silver Grays,
and, unkindest cut OF all, are twitting them now
with the desertion of the Administration, whose
battle they fought so fiercsly.
The Commercial Advertiser, the Ephraim

first chirp Of tho gratifying intelligence" and
gives this stab under the sixth rib to accompany it.
The above is from the Republic of Thursday
morning. The Republic il understood to be

| this declaration on record in the columns Of the
Republic, we ask, who are the real friends Of the
Administration? Who are the national Wings!
Those who have sedousv endeavored to frus-
trate the election Of Mr.. Fish, or those who have
earnestly labored to promote it 1t is not diff
cult to supply the answer
Yes, "who are the national Wings 2" that's the
question The following extracts from the
Albany Evening Journal, the open advocate Of
SEWARD, confirm the policy of the Aministra-
ton.
The Atlas asserts in the most positive terms
that Messrs. Tuck and Perkins, elected to Con-
gress by the Wings, are avowed and firm ma
tional Union men, Oswgo Times
To be sure they are. But they are not for
slavery first and for the Union afterwards. Like
all true Wings, they deem the principle of Free
dom in perfect harmony with attachment to the
Union.
The Locofocos generally bowed gracefully to
the fate Of war. But the .Silver Gray" conspi-
rators, like the army in Flanders, swore terri
bly,"
The election of Hamilton Fish is doubly graft
flying. II secures the services of true Wing
for six years in the Senate of the United States,
and foils the deep-laid schemes of the "Silver
Gray" conspirators.
The true Wings of the State, accessible by
telegraph, were in merry mood yesterday. The
intelligence of tho election of Hamilton Fish
was as joyful as it was sudden and unexpected,
Few political events have ever occurred which
have produced more joyous sensations.
The fact that two members Of the "Silver
Gray" State committee, and one of the last sp.
pointed custom-house officers were actively at
work about the Senate chamber, and until the last
moment, against the election of Wing United
States senator, is entitled to be noted down for
| future reference.

wicked fellows, that won't shut their eyes nnd
swallow the compromise sugar plums:
We are stunned daily with Southern ne VS.
paper declarations that the Northern States are
perfectly sound on the Fugitive slave law. How
easy it were to prove this on the part Of those
States! Let their legislatures, in solemn form,
approve of that law in express terms, and then
all doubt will vanish. The absence of some
such declarations ", under the circumstances,
the most satisfactory proof that they are totally,
radically unsound.- - Mobile Tribune
Can anything exceed the incredulty and pre-
sumption of these fire. eaters! Here's an editor
that does not believe that the North is perfectly
sound on the Fugitive-slave law, and has tn.
impudence to require that the Northern Iegsla-
lures should repeal their unconditional laws
by which that law is rendered imperative, before
he will put faith in such assurances. In the
name Of the constitutional Union, what will
satisfy these "Southern ultraists"-these pesky
aagitators!" What If the Northern legislatures
have refused to repeal their anti slavery laws
What If the people have resisted the execution
Of the Fugitive-slave law! What If the United
States officers in Massachusetts have neglected
ard refused to discharge their duties under the
law! What, If it has been nulli6ed by the

has passed law, giving the fugitive trial by
