The Expected Evidence.

Before General Perce's recent letter the colaborers of
Messrs Foss Fogg, Co. affirmed that he had delivered
speech Bradford, in New Hampshire, which subsan
tiaied the New Boston libel and that the proof would be
forthcoming The Republic, the organ in this work of
deaaion. contained in its issue OF yesterday the
peGed New Bradford certificates. One person who took
makes his statement and two others verify its
rectness with ridiculous boast their being willing
prove the truth OF what they say; while they do not
say single word relating to slavery the fugitive
slave law, touching in any manner the subject TO
which the New Boston libel refers. General Perce's
speech, according their showing, related entirely
to another natter and yet the Republic and abolition
allies would have the country infer that his failure to
travel out OF his way denounce the fugitive slave law
confirms the miserable SANDER which they have circu.
lated through the country Such despcable sophistry i.
not worthy OF efutaon and would only be resorted
by men who have been detected in fraud, and being
destitute OF virtue caous TO regret their conduct

colored man, charged with misdemeaRor in giving
information to the slaves of the late Edward Cor
SUCH Of Maryland, of the intention TO arrest them
SO as to enable them to concert and take measures
to oppose the operation of the law taken up for
trial The case is regarded as of importance, from
the fact of its being the first under the fugitive slave
law for obstructng the process of the United States
by giving information and will determine whether
person can be held amenable for this constructive
obstruction of the law. The was opened on the
part of the United States by District Attorney
AsHMEAD, who after stating the facts which it was
expected would be proven against the prisoner,
laid down the following premises in relation to the
offence Of which he is charged
First That the information given by the defendant
stitutes in ITSELF aiding, abeting, and assisting the
fugitiyes to escape; and,
Second That the facts taken together make the defen
dan much principal in the escape Of the fugitive

The case will probably occupy several days.

SOUTHERN RAILROAD CONVENTION

The great Southwestern Railroad Convention as
sembled at New Orleans on the 9th instant, and was
organized by the election of Ex-Governor ALEX.
MoUToN, of Louisiana, as President, and of a num-
Der Of Vice Presidents and Secretaries from the diff
ferent State delegations in attendance Delegations
were present from Mississippi, Missouri, Florida,
Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Texas,
Arkansas, and Louisiana
Except the speeches, we do not perceive any
thing of particular interest in the proceedings of the
first and second days Various propositions con-
nected with the objects of the meeting were offered
and referred for the examination of committees
The purpose for which the Convention has assem-
bed is not to undertake the construction or to solicit
subscriptions for projected works, but to consult
upon and take counsel together to the great lines
of communication it is advisable to undertake for
the development of the resources of the various To-
caties which are represented such lines to radiate
directly from New Orleans, indirectly to connect
with those that do
