ladie. Of New York to Mr. O'Conor, for his legal and
chyalrc campaign in defence Of Mrs. Forrest, pro-
voking imtators among other female sympathizing

is in the field to get up grand testimonial to Mr.
Ogden Hoffman, for his eloquent and brilliant spee,h
in favor of the character Of Mis-. McAdam, a witness
in the recent divorce case Of 'Patnam re,Sns Put
nam" In this case il seems that Mr.. O'Conor was
on the losing side, and his opponent Mr.. Hoffman,
on the winning side. OF course, the sympathy and
the testimonial, the plate and the paudits, always
60 to the winning horse. Nothing is said however.

ASTI-SLAvIRY IN THE MASSACHUSETTS LEGIs-
LATURE.-A measure recently introduced into the
Massachusetts, Legislature for multiplying the Fugi-
tive Slave law, and which passed the Senate, re-
ceived it. death blow in the popular branch Of the
Legislature, on Friday afternoon last After a long
and considerably warm debate, ii was indefinitely
postponed by majority Of sixteen The anti-savery
feelings of the Legislature, as dev oped by this
vote, came very carrying its measure, in op-
position to all the usual considerations of prudence
compromise, and harmony between the different
sections Of the Union In another year the small
majority Of sixteen against tho measure may be
very easily carried by the clamor and excitement Of
the new election The measure proposed was in itself
direct act Of notification, in opposition to the law Of
Congress, and taking away the authority of the ma
tiona government within the territory Of Mass ,chu
sets. The support which il received in that Lcgis
ature shows the strength Of the antisavery feeling
still existing in that ancient commonwealth, and
peace If the country.

Wire Moy1dKHr ron Mr.. FnAnmx.-we IN
dcrstand that q comm tee has been Termed for the
purpose Of making prep atoms to call forth great
public meeting in favor Of Mr. Fillmore for the
Presidency. This committee, Of which Mr.. Shepherd
Knapp is named chairman, viii, it seems, meet to-
morrow night, and continue their meetings every
night during the week. for the discussion and pre-
paration of measures calculated TO bring out an
overwhelming whig force at the public meeting, in
the early part of the week following, in favor of
nominating Mr.. Fillmore TO the Presidency. This
is m interesting movement the part of the friends
of the present administration. Hitherto we have
had meetings attempted to bring out the whig
masses in favor of Mr.. Webster, but on both occa-
sions they were comparative failures. The personal
strength Of Mr. Fillmore among the wings of this
city has never been tried, nor has that of General
Scott. It true there was a sort of a rough or
rowdy approximation to measuring the mutual
strength of Scott and Fillmore at the recent meet
ing in the Broadway House, when Governor Jones,
of Tennessee avowed his wish to be appointed to
the high Office Of hangman Of all the abolition
lists of the North The friends of Fillmore and
those Of Scott did not divide en- this ques-
ton, or show their hands, probably because all
such assemblages like to see an execution, and
generally cheer on the executioner But when the
resolutions were offered in favor of approving the
Fillmore administration, and putting him in for the
succession then the whirlwind was let loose and the
thunder burst the assemblage in terrible peals.
The two parties showed themselves at once, but
whether the Fillmore men or the Scott men were
the more numerous, we have never been able to
ascertain precisely from any reliable quarter
In this dilemma, relative to the predictions Of
the whig Of this city, meeting to nominate
Mr.. Fillmore to be appropriate, to follow the
previous meetings which failed to show any strength
for the nomination Of Mr. Webster. If the Fillmore
men, among the wings, have any strength, now is
the time to bring it out in all its force and power,
