allowed to reply-not even to explain or correct
the false positions in which he had just been pac-
ed by the willy tactician. What short sighted stu
pidity Did not Gen. Foote and his friends know
that thought he
might g light and run away,
And live to fight another day " that his
auditors the citizens of Monroe would remain be-
hind. and before whom-if not him, the little Pa
cifcator-Mr Phelan could and would set himself
right.
Mr. Phelan, unable to get Foote to face the mu-
sic-has sure enough made good his time by al
ranging his political course, and denouncing it from
every stump in the county. Not man OF the
other party was able or willing to defend Their
champion from the charges, which Mr. Phelan
every where, with the records before him, prefer
red and substantiated. The nearest thing to de-
fence that could be extorted from Foote'S best
friends, was that he would defend himselfat Smith
vile. and that Mr. p would be allowed to discuss
on fair terms.
This was lust what Mr.. P. wanted, and to which
he readily consented. True to this understanding
Mr. p. repaired to Smithville, met Gen. Foote
there-dared him to debate equally with him; and
10! after his friends had pledged him to give MIR.
! P an equal chance, what does he do? he resorts
to pitiful subterfuges, and behind them lgnomin-
ously retreats--in other words, backs out
In the first place he required Phelan to step N
| the SllOcS OF NSullIndn-WuICI NIL dCIIiLCN' o.
he wanted to fight on his own hook; that was tie
arena to which he had been invjted, and he had
stepped in the ring, first to do his own battling,
Gen F. then consented he would debate with z
provided his friends could do so with Quitman.-
To this Mr. Phelan promptly assented-pledglng
himself and Judge Gholson, if Quitman refused
that they would abandon the canvass, and vote fol
him (Gen. Foote.) After some humming and
having and then mumbling out, that or the
other (Phelan or Gholson) might back out, he
| (Foote) finally declined to give Phelan chance
This is worse than parallel advancing yea I'll:
the tallest sort of crawfshing 1t is to be hoped
we will hear no more vaporing about what Foote
aoiH do or can do.
Ifhis little Somersetship has as much sensibility
as he has certainly culpability, we have but little
doubt he would rather confront the apocalyptC
scene of Death on the Pale Horse, and He'll at BIZ
back, than Mr.. Phean and his Congressional re
cords. Notwithstanding the disparity ofages Mr.
Phelan is his match in any particular-has a
much political and more general edge-equl
ly ready in resources-Just as quick, if not quick
er, to slap nsolence in the face-and just as firm
in holding himself responsible for any thing h
does. With mind not a whit inferior-but bet
ter balanced and more systematically stored ant
: moral temperament infinitely higher toned, a
sensitive too, and as mercural-Mr. Phelan, upo
the whole, is the superior man, and Mississippi

Another Fugitive Slave Case.

Two weeks since we gave account OF an attempt
to arrest fugitive slave in Pennsylvania which re-
suited in the death of the owner of the slave and the
wounding of two three engaged in the attemp-
ted arrest This week called upon to give the
history of another attempt. The account is from an
eye witness, and may, therefore, be relied upon
substantially correct.
The returning sense of iustice-of which great
deal has been said and written-seems to be rapidly
extending at the North. When will the people fthe
South begin to see and prepare to meet these out
RACES upon justice and their constitutional rights =!
The lawless opposition manifested toward the South
and her citizens when in pursuit of their property, is
surely essenng none under the benign influences Of
that glorious Compromise which, we daily told
has saved the Union, and preserved the rights of
citizens That glorious compromise is respected, so
Union friends tell by our northern neighbours
The fugitive slave law is enforced, they say Where
is it enforced like law of the land There lives not
the man who can point to solitary where the
law has been enforced without raising intense ex-
element in the community In nearly every case
there has sprung up fierce opposition against the
claimant and we do not recollect an instance where
the expense of the successful capture has exceed
ed, and in many doubled, and in some thrilled
the value of the slave But this is all proper-we are
told We cannot think so. But let the reader judge
of the matter-here the facts below for him to
fleet on.

Slave Catching in SyraCuSe-Intense
Excitement,
SYRACUSE, Wednesday, Oct. l. |!

SYRACUSE, w Wednesday, Oct /, 1851.
Our city is perfectly wild with excitement. A
negro man named Jerry was arrested here to day,
claimed by man named McHenry, of Missouri,
as fugitive slave. The United States Marshal
with aids from the neighboring cities congrega-
ted here, arrested Jerry and brought him before
United States Commissioner Sabine. The news
spread the city, the bells in the various
churches were tolled, and the people assembled in
knots at the corners of the streets-one general
feeling prevailed every breast, that of disgust and
adherence at the Fugitive Slave Law, and this
its first foul offspring in Syracuse. Our County
Fair was being held in the city, and the farmers
from the surrounding country were all here. In
addition, Liberty Party Convention was called
for to-day, and | notice prominent in streets
some of the leaders of that party. The Court of
Appeals is also in session here, and have had a
good opportunity to witness the feeling here to
day.
The examination of Jerry who is fine athlet-
ic man, commenced at the Commissioners Office
about O'Clock, p. The court room and eve
ry avenue leading to it was densely crowded
The prosecution conducted by three LAWYERS,
named Anderson, Looms and Lawrence. The
defence was by Hills Morgan and Sheldon. The
Commissioner adjourned the court for half an
hour about quarter past o'clock, p. M The
adjournment had no sooner been made than band
of negroes and others seized the alleged fugitive,
rescued him from the custody of the officers, and
rushed down Water and Genesee st. through
Market square, and down Water st. to Lock st.
over Lock st. bridge where he was caught by the
officer and taken back to the police Office of JUS
tce House. Jerry was heavily handcuffed, which
prevented his successful escape at this time.
In the meantime the crowd and excitement be-
came ntense; and the feeling gained on the people
that the Fugitive Slave Law must not be execu-
ted in Syracuse. The military companies were
ordered out by the Sheriff of the county, and got
under arms, and prepared for action. Only one
company, however, would leave their armory, and
finally they went back, and the whole military OF
the city refused to aid and abet in carrying Jerry
back into slavery. The Commissioner resumed
the examination about p. m at the police office
of Justice House. The crowd outside, unable to
gain admittance, became more and more excited,
and the "noise and confusion frequently proven
ted the prosecution of the examination on the in
side Stones were thrown through the windows
of the room, and the crowd exhibited other I'M
mistakable signs that they were decidedly hostile
to the Fugitive Slave Law. About p M the

PheIan's Review Of Senator FOOte.

This splendid paper is before our readers 1t is the
most powerful and searching argument that this cam
pagn-a campaign that has brought out the matured
mind of the State-has produced. 1t is a full and
elaborate argument and it brushes Foote to the earth
by the cearness and perspcuy with which the record
Is appealed to to sustain its various allegations In
point of style it will rank with any political review
which has ever appeared in our State and for COM
pactness it superior to any production of political
character with which we have recently met. We are
sure readers will agree with us in what has been
said of it, and those who at all familiar with the
Senatorial records will admit that the reviewer has in
no instance attempted to warp history to sustain
point Its great strength consists in its fidelity and
fairness. It's statements cannot be controverted.
This review will raise its young and talented author
to an envable position among the cearest headed and
abest debaters in the State and those who have had
the pleasure of reading it, will appreciated the shrewd-
ness manifested by Foote in avoiding a discussion
with the young man, the doughty general designated
Mr.. Phelan We give history of that affair below
FOOte and Phelan at SmithVilIe-Clear Back
ing out of Little Pacificat0r.
Every body who was at Athens in this county
on the 9th of June last, when Gen. Foote spoke
there, recollects that Mr. Phelan preceded him in
an hours speech; and it is also recollected-not
much to the credit of those who controlled mat

For the Standard
EDITOR OF THE STANDARD Sir far from an
intrusive desire, towards generous comfy al
ready received yet feel solicous, to see the pur
port and value of the doctrine, declared by Ken
lucky and Virginia, against the alien and sediuOn
laws OF John Adams, ascertained, determined
and defined. Regarding brevity and perspicuity,
as the life of the press, 1 shall, ON your permls
sion, be laconic concise, in alusion to this top
ic.
The resolutions of Thomas Jefferson in 1898,
adopted by Kentucky and Virginia, seem, not to
De clear understood Justly appreciated; either
among the great statesmen, or erudite jurists OF
the republic. Mr. Tazewell, an eminent publ
clst denies, that they justify notification of any
law OF Congress. What sort of remedy then, 90
the resolutions of 1898, assert and maintain
against attractions and violations of the constltu
tlon! 1t is urged by able politicians, that 5
oreacn OF an important provision of the compact
between the States, authorizes proclamation, Oy
convention or Congress of the sovereign people
aggneved by it, to advertise the fact, that Inc
covenent of Confederation and Union, without
restitution or PREPARATION, is dissolved and cancer
leo; and that its observance by the party injured
is no longer due or obligatory. 1t is thus argued
'hat the party damaged, by such perfdy, is aO
solved from any former allegiance, to such CON
pact. From such predicament, the right OIL
withdrawal or of secession, from the terms OF TIC
compact is said, to accrue. And from intole'
aOie exorbltance and tyranny, the right OF re'U'
'u1on is said, to arise But right possesseu'
