re tly to say tlnt VIC should be willing TO leave
the decision TO Il Troy audience. If such
IN audience should decide that the existing
Fugitive Slave Law is either "jusi" or " nec-
essarH" we confess that we scoud be astound-
ed ind there is as much true p1trlutisln--
conservative p1triotis o,--in Troy, as there is in
any CITY OF the Union Orr 0,rn opinion is
that the recent Fugitive Slave Law is neither
Just nor " necessary !" its justice may be
fairly judged of from the case Of Gibson, which
will be found in our paper, tins cvcning,-and
which proves tIlrt a FREE MAN is iust as liable
to be sent into Slavery as Slave is to be ode
livered up ."-thougl we believe there urc but
few Commissioner ingrodams in the Union =
It's necessity is topic for argument and the
Gibson case is tolcrabIy fair illustration OF
THIS also Go ahead, gentlemen!

runaway slave Of John r. Smith, Of RusseI

was taken at the table, seiz, ID. dragged ont and
carried before Commissioner II II. Mr. White
head appeared in his behalf. Parker sworc to
his Identity, but on cross examination, sad h.
did not know that Long was a slave, Counsel
for Long wished to postpone the exam nation,
in order to obtain test nony 10 show that he
was living in New York at the time he wa
claimed to have been in Richmond, which was
opposed by the agent, who contpndcd that the
more summary the action, the more it was in
accordance with the law. The Commissioner
after some hesitation, postponed the case until
Tuesday.
1t was resumed on the following day, II. NJ
Western appearing rs counsel for the seizure,
and J. l.. White and John Lay for Long A.
ter the testimony against Long had been con
cuded. Mr.. Whitehead one of the prisoner
counsel, handed to the Commissioner a writ
Of labnas Corpus returnabIe on Thursday
Mr.. Western commended that they need not
obey this wr-that the act was imperative, that
the Commissioner should issue his certificate,
and demanded that it should be done. Mr.. J.
referred 10 the opinion Of Mr.. Crittenden, that
the law does not do away with the writ OF II l.
beas Corpus, bu, Mr.. Western objected to the
souudness, under the law, of the opinion.
The Commissioner said he should most Ger
tainly obey the writ, and in the mean time
would dourn this case to Thursday, at II o
clock the man in the mean time TO be retained
in the costody OF the Marshal.

0}7Spcakng of the wholly uncallcd for at
tack of the Washington Repab!ic upon the re-
cent at of the Legislature of Vermont relative
to the Writ of labcas Corpus, the st Adams
Messenger says:-
The remarks Of the Republic on Gov. Vii
lilns are very far from what they should be;
ana it il respectfully informed that it is no con-
corn of the Rcpubijc, whom Vermont Wings
sec fit to select for Governor.
The Republic has done an injulicious act by
its attack on Gov. Williams. The Boston .Ma$
says that it is authorised by Pres Fillmore, to
sny tint the Rcpubiic is not the organ the Adj
minstraron. So says the Rcpubiic itself.
We care no,hngabout whltthc Boston .Has,
or any other paper, srys of the position of the
Rcpub'ic.- Organ or no organ, It's comments
upon a law passed by sovereign State f this
Union. are in the highest degree offensive and
impcrtincnt, and its structure on the official ac-
ton of Governor WILLIAMS are mere gratui-
tous insocncc. Vermont despscs Organs,

in this extensive Country from which good
