INC Fugitive Slave Case.

AT O'Clock, Tuesday morning. The hearing of
the arguments of counsel in the case of Sims, the
fugitive slave, was resumed before Commissioner
Curtis.
Mr.. Rantoul resumed his argument at the opening
of the Court He remarked that the statute IN ques-
tion il unconstitutional aud vod because ii is not
within the powers granted to Congress by the Con-
stitution The trainers of the U. 5. constitution
have not claimed to take anything which g was not
delegated to them. If you begin to take by implica-
tion YOU know not where you may end.
Mr. Rantoul then proceeded to consider the 4th
article of the constitution, which declares that full
faith and credit shall be given 10 the judicial records
&C., of other States, &c. The 10th article of the
amendment confirms the view that a delegation of
power must be an express delegation. The amend
ment was inserted from great caution-from excess
of caution. Thomas Jefferson, speaking of this
ticle, srys He considers the corner stone of the
Constitution to be laid on this article of amendment
MIR. Rantoul then advanced the proposition, that
the power of attorney, under which the agent for
the claimant acted in this case, was not such pow
er of attorney as was required by the act.
The power OF attorney must be in writing,
knowledged under the seal of some person duly au-
thorlsed by the Court This power of attorney was
acknowledged under the seal Of a Notary Public A
Notary Public was not legal officer under the stat
ute He was not officer competent to do this act.
1t appeared by certificate appended to this instru-
ment that the Notary was authorised to take the ac-
acknowledgement of deeds and other instruments in
writing; but the law Of Georgia which gave him
these extraordinary powers, would have conferred
the power to acknowledge this instrument also had
they intended that it should be exercised There
was no such power conferred by the laws of Geor-
gia If there was any law of Georgia which made
Noaries Public legal officers under the fugitive slave
law to take acknowledgements, it should be shown.
The did the certificate of the C0nrt Of
Georgia evidence Of the authority ola Notary to take
this acknowledgement. There was not in this act
any certificate which should decide whether This was
proper power Of attorney.
G. G. Loring, Esq. continued the argument for the
defence He said, that being called upon in the of
arrested midnight and to be tried early next
mornings his views of professional duty did not allow
him to decline to renter his assistance. The question
here Involved nothing less than question of per-
sonal liberty He was convinced that this law a
most dangerous encroachment upon the Constitution and
the fundamental principles of civil liberty. The direct
practical bearing of the law large number of our
citizens was to place their liberties in great practical
jeopardy.

asked of the authorities of New Orleans, the request
has been peremptory refused, and the commanders of
the steamers informed, that hereafter the law respect
ing the arrest and confinement in prison. during the
continuance of the ship in port, Of all free blacks on
shipboard, must be strictly enforced the U. S. mail
steamers, all other vessels touching at New Or

The Boston Vigilance Committee announced last
evening the plan by which Thomas Sims, the alleged
r,gitive is to be taken from Boston Immediately af-
ter Commissioner Curtis has crushed the Statutes Of
Massachusetts under bis vile feet, backed up by the
balls and bayonets of the citizen soideIy OF Boston,
We never expected to see old Massachusetts, and
old Bos on, too STOPPING to such degradation as this
If there is Just God yet upon the throne of the
universe. and we know that there Is, Boston will
rue this damnng act of wickedness to the latest gen.
Grafton. From the hour that this vile plot is consun
mated, the glory of Boston will live only in her past
history. She will have shown to the world that her
citizens are unworthy Of their patriot ancestrythat
the love of gold and the fear of not making mbney
has corrupted her merchants, bribed her Judiciary
overawed her artlzans, and compelled them to buy
the thrift which follows fawning, by the sacrifice of
every principle of manhood and justice. Here is the
programme of proceedings read it, men Of Massa-
chusetts, but remember that the ballot box, and not
the cartridge, is your only means of redress. In
that sign shall we conquer, and one day redeem the
Puritan State from the domination of these sonIess
merchants and demagogues who have murdered
American liberty in the home of her youth, and des
ecrated the first affairs reared to freedom in the new
world, with the blood of human sacrifice.
