LATEST ACCOUNTS FROM BOSTON.

OSSA
The Common Council Of Boston has fully en-
dorsed the action of the other branch of the City
Government, instructing the City Marshal to en-
poy his whole force, if necessary, in the support
of the United States officers in carrying out the fu-
gtve slave law. They cordially respond also to
the proclamation Of the President.
There have been, in all, six arrests of persons
who are alleged to have participated in the rescue
of the slave Shadrach-three white persons and
three negroes.
Joseph X. Hayes, Superintendent of fremont
Temple, was arrested on Friday morning and taken
before Commissioner HALLETT, who ordered the
prisoner to recognise with sufficient surety in the
sum of 3d. 900 for his appearance for examination
on Thursday next.
Alexander Burton, negro, was arrested at SALEM
the same day. The cry was Immediately raised
by his friends that he was "fugitive," and
crowd of nearly three thousand persons assembled
in the vicinity of his shop; whereupon the Mayor
took the precaution to call out the ahols police
force Of the city, the Sheriff. and the officers uader
him, to queH any attempt that might be made to-
yards a rescue. The prisoner was carried to
Boston and there duly discharged, the District At
torney having discovered that the wrong person
had been arrested.
The newspapers state that a large number OF
warrants for the arrest Of persons charged with
having aided in the rescue Of Shadrach are yet in
the hands of officers.
The Boston Atlas, though opposed to the fug-
tive law assures its distant readers that the laws
Of the land are as strong in Boston this day as
they ever were, and can upon all occasions be
upheld" and that /" the constitution and laws will
alyays be maintained in Massachusetts"
The Boston Traveller, speaking on the same
subject, says:
The truth is, that the citizens of Boston, with
exceptions comparatively Insignificant in number,
are sound in opinion and right in practice on this
subject The doctrine of forcible resistance, even
: to the Fugitive Slave Law, finds no advocates
here beyond the ranks of few fanatics, who for
: years and years have agitated New England with
sentiments which they have striven almost in
vain to spread, because they have been so pal
pably reasonable and destructive to sound morals
I. and every social bond.''

THE BALANCE SHEET.

Supposing that the present Congress will not act
upon the Tariff so as to lessen imports, have made
an estimate to ascertain as near as possible what
the state of the balance sheet with Europe and the
residue of the world will be on the lst March,
1852. If the imports continue on the same liberal
scale as they have for the last six months, il is pal
pable that there will be balance against us on the
lst of March, 1852, Of about one hundred millions
Of dollars. II is estimated that on the lst March,
proximo, we shall owe a trade debt of about fifty
millions of dollars, which, together with the first
named item, will form debt against this country on
the lst March, 1852, of one hundred and fifty mil
lions Of dollars and this debt, or balance Of trade
is created in the brief period of about eighteen
months
Now, the next question is, how are we to pay SO
large debt! Running in debt is the simplest thing
imaginable, but it is often most difficult matter to
liquidate. Those who make boast of our large
imports, and point to them as evidence of oar pros
perty, not yet out of their horn-books and pro-
baby will not be till we shall be called upon to wit
ness another commercial and financial revulsion,
which, if we do not in good time take in SAIL may
come sooner than people generally expect it, and
probably with more force than that terrible one of
1887.
But, as to paying off this large balance-t1as
trade balance, (for keep out of view the coupon
uCut vi OhC NuuuIcu duu MY vi uOudtS,l
which we must pay or break-how is this to be
done! In order to preserve the currency of the
country in its present heathfu condition, it is ne
cessary that keep among the whole, or atleast
the largest portion of the whole, of the precious me-
tails now in the banks, subtreasures and in circu-
ation therefore we must rely upon California and
California alone. Can California supply the def
cheney! We say no-the thing is impossible
and to prove this we refer to the amount of coin
age of California dust from the discovery of the
mines down to the alst day Of December, 1850,
which is not much above forty millions of dollars,
and for the year ending at the same time it not
much above thirty millions Of dollars. But sup
pose the receipts of dust from lst March, 1851 TO
lst March, 1852, be double those Of last year. why,
even in such an unexpected state of things, would
be short in liquidating our foreign trade balance
about ninety millions of dollars. The fact is, if
continue to overtrade as we have done for the past
twelve months, it will require FIVE times as much
gold dust as California sends us, and two or three
more mints, as extensive as the Philadelphia mint
to coin enough Of it to pay off our Indebtedness to
Europe and the residue of the world.
Unless our revenue laws are shaped to prevent
our imports from exceeding our exports the time is
not very remote when will be papable to all that
the discovery of gold dust in California will be
more beneficial to Europe than to the United States

THE BUSINESS BEFORE CONGRESS.


We are certainly very far from desiring to inter-
pose any obstacle to the passage OF the bills ye.
depending which are essential to the regular ana
orderly execution Of contracts by the Government
whether for public debt, public supplies or salaries
for public officers. We trust that all these will be
daily passed. But we trust also that the Rirer and
Har5or Bill, which has already, after pretty
thorough discussion, passed one branch of Con-
sress-this measure of long-defered justice to the
West, and of necessity for the East, North, and
South-will not be suffered to be smothered by the
bass Of bills of no greater right or justice, without
h effort at least on the part of its friends to pass
into law. There has certainly been no bill
efore Congress at this Session more entirely use-
ul and beneficial in its objects, or more anxiously
,oked for by the whole country, and particularly
y the People Of the Great West, upon which
itherto so little special favor has been reflected by
he legislation of the General Government.

THE CAZENOvIA RESOLUTIONS.

We have received from resident of Cazenovia,
New York, the subjoined copy of Resolutions re-
Gently adopted by the citizens Of that town place
which, as readers are probably aware, has been
endowed with an unenviable notorety in conse-
quence of Fugitive Slave Conventions" and other
ultra-aboition assemblages. The citizens have
thought proper to set themselves right before the
public by these resolutions, which, though mode
rate in tone, the reader will perceive, avow unre.
served allegiance to the Constitution and Law, and
hearty attachment to the union of the States, both in
political bonds and reciprocal good feeling and har.
mony. The signatures to these resolutions number
hundreds, and embrace, we understand, the best
and most respectable citizens, representing all par
Ties, from /" Hunker" and Freesoil' Democrats
down to Wings of all degrees, and are fair ex-
preston of the opinion of the mass of the people
in a locality which has been as much subject to
abolition exertion as any in the country. As a
contribution to the general cause of Union and
Peace, they are entitled to place in the columns
of the National Intelligencer
TOWN OF cAzENovIA.
Resored That the citizens Of this town, as community
have had conneIon with the assembages Of ultra anti
slavery and women, who have chosen village
convenient place Of meeting that their proceedings have
been condemned by ninetenths Of population and that
the general association of the of Cazenovia with them
and their actions, has arisen merely from their
CANT caim ana the exaggerauon OF newspaper reporters
that this general misrepresentation of character demands
from definite expression of opinions.
Resored That whatever difference of opinion may have
existed among with reference the various plans the
settlement of the late dsracng national controversy, there
difference in appreciation Of the value Of the American
Union to ourselves fellowczens of all the States and
the of liberty and good government throughout the
world that repudate entirely and distinctly all sympathy
with any who, by open words indirect action would weaken
its bonds or njsre the good feeling prevailing among its
citizens.
Resoued That rejoice that the elements Of national
dscod have been sed that those clouds which threatened
the integrity of the Union have passed away that willingly
abide by all the compromises Of the Constitution that
believe in the supremacy Of the laws and that, while
claim all our just rights we cheerfuly yield to brethren
Of the South all their just rights under Con-
stitution.
Resoiued, That hold fellowship with no extreme of
opinion, be it Northern Southern that deprecate all
agitation, tending only weaken the cords that bind to-
gether in great Conedeacy, fully believing that the Con-
stituon is broad enough to remedy all ills and all
our rights.
