The resolution Of Mr.. Bottom of Amelia,
expressing the dissent of the Legislature. from
Gov. Johnson's construction Of the criminal
law relating to slaves. as set forth in his late
communication upon the Hatcher case, has
been evaded by referring 1t 70 the Judiciary
Committee, where it will sleep the sleep of
death.
And this isthe way that locofocoism-Sou,h-

Of the whole theory. moral and political, Of
slavery-destructive Of all authority and sub
ordination, and fatally perilous to the life ofthe
master, are promulgated from the very citadel
Of legal and political power in the State, and
the representatives Of the people, the boastful
and belligerent champions Of Southern %institu-
ions, dare not SO much as express an opinion.
The courage of the man, and the independence

The whole matter was before the House. The

Every member had seen them: every member

ARREST OF A FUGITIVE SLAVE AT HARRTs-
nUnG-Jim Phillips, a fugitive slave Of Mr..
Henry T. FAINT. Of Fauquier county. Va, was
arrested at Harrisburg. Pa. on Monday last.
and underwent a full examination before the
U. S. Commissioner Mr.. A. G.. Hedson and
Jas. H. Vowles. Of Virginia, clearly proved
him to be a fugitive. and he himself snbse.
quently admitted that he had run aw ay from
Culpeppcr county, Va. As the examination
was continued until after dark. a crowd ofcol-
ored and white sympathizers assembled. and
evinced some disposition to attempt a rescue,
but the officers promptly managed to restore
order. The Union says the beneficial inauen-
res of the repeal of the 9th section of the act of
1s47, was strikingly exhibited in this case; and
so soon as the slave was lodged in jail the
crowd dispersed, and all was quiet. The slave
was removed to Virginia on Tuesday morning,
in custody of the officers. The ~ciiizens of Har.
risburg evinccd every disposition to enforce the
laws.-Sun.

Mexico and the United States.

The newly appointed Mexican Minister.
Senior Don Manuel Larrainzar. presented his
credentials to the President the 22nd inst. and
was received with the usual official civiiities.
The arrival Of Senior Larrainzar is attended
with more than ordinary interest. because it is
understood that part ofhis mission will be the
negotiation and, if possible, the adjustment Of
questions ola somewhat grave character, that
have arisen between the two Governments
In his presentation address to the President.
he declared that the Mexican Government
was DESTROYS of cultivaung friendship and good
understanding between the two countries. Its
most earnest wishes. he snid, are for the main
,enance Of peace. which should ever exist be-
tween them, and to avoid all occasions tending
to disturb that peace.
The President in reply said:
II am happy. sir, to welcome you as the representa-
tive of n cotcrminious Republic. There is certainly no
reason why the utmost hariuouy.a and good feeling should
not prev il between Mexico and the United States
The increasing intercourse between them is mutually
beneficial, and every effort compatible with Justice and
national honor should be made amicably to adjust pend.
ing differences. U~nhappilys some such have arisen, but
/ coroiaiy unite WIKI you III expressing tue nope that
all obligations on either side will be faithfully fulfilled.
This, in nv opinion, would be the only course which
would comport with the honor and dignity ofthc two
Republics whose territories occupy SO large aspace on
the North American continent.
l pray that the Supreme Ruler ofthe universe may SO
direct the councils ofboth nations as to induce each to
render equal and exact justice to the other. and that
you may be instrumental in accomplishing this desira-
Bile result, towards which l promise you my cordial CO.
operation. In conclusion permit me to assure you that
during your residence among us you may tepcnd upon
receiving every consideration and courtesy from this
Government which is due to the representative of sis
ter Republic

Mr.. Fillmore and the philadelphia
ans.

A very imposing demonstration in favor Of
Willard Fillmore. as the next candidate for
the Presidency, came of in Philadelphia. the
night of the 22d inst. The vast saloon Of the
Chinese Museum, was filed to its utmost ca
Pscity. In front of the building a large trans
parency was placed having the inscription:
"Millard Fiilmore-the son of the North, the
favorite of the South, and the friend of the I'm.
ion:'
THE president, on taking the chair. briefly ANNOUNCE
ed the obj ct of the meeting, and returned thanks for
the honor conferred upon him.
Mr.. J. X. Mitchell then rose and congratulated the
friends of MIR, Fillmore on the strong show of hands in
his favor. After abiding in favorable terms to Mr..
Fillmore, and complimenting General Scott for his mill
tary services, he offered a series Of III resolutions, which
were adopted by reclamation. They in substance de-
clare that in the selection of a Presidential candidate re-
gard should chiefly be paid to fitness and capacity for ,he
station, and as Mr.. Fillmore has proved himself emf
nj ntly qualified by his administration Of TIE public af-
fairs, they present him as the most fit, safe and eligible
candidate for thar high Office. They refer to the fact,
a. from the tomb, comes the declaration Of Henry CLAY,
that OF all the candidates for the Presidency. there is no
one fitcror more eligible, Than Willard Fillmore. They
also think it a duty, they say, that the country should
show its appreciation OF long tried and spotless public
character, thus refuting the maxim that republics are
ungrateful- The llth resolution IS in the following words:
1T would not be in god taste OF in proper keep
ing with the high purposes Of our meeting to .sparaie
this evening without an expression of our profound re-
gard and high esteem for the great and good Henry CLAW
Therefore, be it Resolccd, That we deeply deplore the
dispensation which confines him to a bed of sickness,
and earnestly hope that the brilliant orator, the wise
statesman, the distinguished patriot, and generous gen.
tleman, may again be permitted to ~enlishten the Senate
by his counsel and illuminate the country by his lofv
virtues and his mighty eloquence.
The illusions to Henry Clay and Willard Fillmore
were received with cheers; those in reference
to Scott were passed over with silence.
Speeches were delivered by Col. John Swift. and 9th
ers' In behalf OF M~r.fillmore, and Mt a late hour the meet
ing adjourned in the highest spirits, with proIonyed
