Hon. JOHN M. NILES, of Connecticut whom the
country has heard very little of lately, has recently
attracted public attention his whereabouts by the
enunciation of the following sentiment, in letter to
an Ant-fugitive Slave Law Convention at Portland,
Maine:
This [fugivel law is only palpable and dangerous
ton Of the constitution, but equally uvesve of all
the great principles of liberty which free people should
cherish The duty Of the people n respect unconsiu-
tiona and oppressive law always be in
question Of expedency, depending the circumstances Of
the case. When danger is imminent and redress cannot be
hoped IN any other ,oay, resistance By force not only
UNSUITABLE, but duty"
II we are right in our estimate of the patriotism
and law-abiding disposition of the people of Con-
nectcut, Democrats as well as Wings will mark The
man who is capable Of uttering SO atrocious sent
ment as that which we have italicized above. Why,
the old French revolution, in its bloodiest phases,
never had Danton or Marat to advocate anarchy
in holder shape than we have it here set forth by
one who in times past, has reaped The benefits of
public confidence Connecticut will take care never
to bestow upon him again, we suspect. lndepen-
IDENTIFY of the novel and summary process Mr..
Niles suggests for reform of bad laws-which
speaks for itsel-we may say that it is too late to
assail the fugitive slave act on the ground of an al.
legged unconstitutionality. II has been pronounced
constitutional by the best expounders of the cons,-
tuition in the land. The law, as it now stands on
the statute book, be it understood is neither more
nor less than means to execute art. w. sec Q of
the constitution itself. Nobody better knows this
than Mr.. Niles himself.-N. T. cypress

"RAILRoAD MATTERs."-It is hardl,
necessary for US to call the attention o
the reader to the communication of Mr.
Carpenter in to.day's paper 1t will be
perused with considerable interest. We
have hitherto refrained from participa.
ting, Us well as we could. in this discus.
slon' aud as yet see no reason to change
our course. 1t is likely that this viii
draw a reply from some of the parties
implicated, when the public will be able
to draw their own conclusions. 1t is to
be hoped that proper understanding of
the difficulty will soon be arrived at, in
order that more harmony may exist a.
mong the friends of the road.
We of course have our opinion in re-.
gard to the matter, but as we are liable to
be mistaken, we do not now feel inclined
to say or do any thing which may have a
tendency TO aggravate the llfeeling al
ready existing. And yet we think it
due 10 the public aud the stockholders
that an explanation should be made by
the other side.
AS we have said on a former occasion,
individual interests or individual prefer.
ences, party interests or party preferenc.
es, should be kept out OF the question.
The road is cfvastly too much importance
TO have its construction endangered by
mere matters Of private. local or patty
jeslouses. and we think that the great
tDsss OF those interested in il, will fr0wn
down every attempt to make its construc
tion subject to ths whims or caprices of
prejudiced or selfish individuals. Those
persona who are not particularly interest
ed in this discussion, any farther than its
results upon the road are concerned, and
who at last are ths persons most capable
of forming correct judgment in regard
to the controversy, are anxious that the
difficulty should be settled, and for this
reason and this alone. our columns have
been opend for the discussion. and we
may add, will be closed whenever it as.
sumes shape and form which leads Us
to believe that the dspu,on,s are more
interested in their own than tho public's
welfare.

of Sheep into that place. HE brought
them from Pemaquid by water, and while
sitting on the wiudIass one day, got sleepy
and began to nod. The patriarch of the
flock. taxing this for challenge. drew
back and knocked him sprawling on the
deck. WhsreUpon Bnggs, more pug.
uacious than wise, seized the old fellow
by the wool aud threw him overheard.
But he got muro than he burgained for
by his counter movement. for the whole
Aock, feeling bound in all cases to follow
their leader, jumped overheard after
him; and Boegs being several miles from
land, was obliged to heave 10. and with
much difficulty recovered them again
He concluded that he had the worst of
the battle at both ends.
