THE EsULr IN-ALABAMA.

nd nrevous knowledge, it is pretty certain mat the
representation from this State, to 'he heA'
will be as follows:
Ist district-John Bragg
Oh IS James AbercrombIe.
al Sampson w. Harris.
All " William R. Smith,
s,h s David Hubbard.
cL " William r. w. Cobb.
o,h " Alexander White.
or, r,bese gentlemen, Messrs. Harris, Hubbard, and
CaIb were members of the last Congress. The
others are new members.
ordino to former caldstinctions, the men,
nv oIect are all DemocIats, except Messrs. Aber-
bie and White. The representatives from Ala
"a will hereafter stand it did in the last Con-
gress, to = -. . l., :.
r he set down that Messrs. Bragg, Harris, and
IIbbard (3) are Southern Rights - men, while
Messrs, Abercrombie, Smith, Cobb. and White (4)
are g Union - men. Blu: this division demands an
ernIanation None of the members elect are disun-
;nIis,s or advocates of Secession. The Southern
Pights men only contend for the abstract right OF
Saeession. as a supra constitutional remedy, but do
moi urce its exercise for existing causes. In this they
are not materially different from the " Union Rep
resentatives who all claim to stand on the georgia
Platform and are pledged, in of any further ag-
essions 10 resist to disruption of every tie
sLich binds the State to the Union.' They therefore
nrncfieaHv differ from their Southern Rights COL
fesgues. only as tweedledum did from tweedledee.
Rnt this further explanation is also necessary to
understand properly the political character of the
nombers elect In the first and third districts, the
election turned mainly upon the question of the ap-
nroval of the Compromise Measures. None OF the
candidates were advocates of Secession. MessTs.
Raoo and Harris were chosen because they were op-
moments of the Compromise, while Messrs. Langdon
and Mudd their antagonists, were its advocates and
juSthers. !.
date Mr. Cochran, was understood to hold ultra Sc
cesson views, and defeated for this reason. Had
more moderate and conservative Southern Rights
man been run, it is probable he would have been
elected. The same may be said as to the Seventh
District. Mr.. Rice advocate of the doctrines
o the Montgomery Platform-indeed one of its chief
framers-and so extreme in his sentiments, to
fghten off hundreds of the warmest friends OF South
ern Rights in the strong Democratic District in which
he run and thus the election OF Mr.. White,
the Federal Whig- U nion-C Compromise candidate.
In the other Districts, the issues as to Southern
Rights have not been made distinctly as In South
Alabama The people have generally adhered to their
old party divisions This has caused the election of
Judge Smith, who, coming out as an Independent
candidate has probably (houg the result is not cer
tainy known) received in addition to the entire Whig
vote sufficient number of Demo 10 defeat Col.
Erwin, who ran as the s. State Rights Democratic
nominee
In the sixth, or Huntsville District, no issue
made as to the Compromise Measures, the question
OF State action. Both the candidates " Uuion :"
men, both Democrats, and both in favor of abiding
by the Compromise.
Mr. Hubbard, from the sixth District, is as we have
stated, warm Southern Rights man-but not Dis
unionis
In conclusion we may remark that the words Un-
ion men and Union party " have a very different
Specification in the interior from what they have here
in Mobile. With they indicate the friends and
justfers of the Compromise Measures" The
Southern Rights Party embraces all the opponents of
those Measures. Had this classification been observ
ed in the other Districts, and the issue turned solely
upon that point, we have doubt every District in
the State would have shown itself strongly in favor
of Southern Rights the First"

Exciting Fugitive SaUe Case in BufaLo-IHU LauO
Sustained
BUFFALO, Aug. l5. The second cook of the steam
boat Buckeye State, named Daniels, arrested this
morning, claimed as fugitive slave from Louisville,
Ky. He is claimed by named Moore. 1t was
kept as still possible, but the report spread
through the city, and large crowd collected around
the building in which he confined. An attempt
was made to take him to Jail in private carriage, but
very large and excited crowd collected making threats
OF violence if he was not released. The frebels
were rung, which served in a measure to disperse
the crowd, and he then taken the watchhouse,
still followed by a large crowd.
When the negro was taken the son of the claimant
stepped up behind him while he was pa ssing along
on the boat at his ordinary avocatons and feled him
TO the deck with one blow of billet of wood. The
blow was severe one, laying open the back part of
his head, and rendering him senseless. The excuse
given for this act was understood by some who were
present at the examination, be that he had carv-
Ing knife In his hand, with which he intended to as
sault his assailant.
This afternoon he was taken up to the Court House,
under charge OF the Mayor, a large body of police,
ana TWO OF three companies of fremen, who were
called out for the occasion. Considerable difficulty
was experienced In the undertaking. and several per-
sons acting as guardians trere dragged do,Un and
trdnlpIed under foot By the enrGged multitude. The
court House was finally reached, and a large num-
Der of persons collected inside to witness the fist
trial In this city under the Fugitive Slave Bill. A
oense hrong collected side blocking up the pas
Sages and rendering them impossible, thereby pre-
yehhg all lngess or egress into or out of the Court
House. The examination was held before United
states commissioner H. K. Smith. ONLY one wit
ness was sworn, the same person that knocked the
me- Tegfo Gown. The negro did not deny being slave.
