THE EFFECT OF THE LETTER
| Gen. Scotts letter of acceptance has, expected
given hearty delgh 10 the Sewadies at the North The
Tribune Is for once restrained by policy from crying out Its
pleasure from the houseops Ii says AS any ausion to
the points that specially approve therein would probably
excite hostility the part Of Others, will simply say
thst as WHOLE like it, There can't be any treason in
| that"
lis very effort TO nothing, is significant on the
part OF this Tree so organ Of all The isns But in
paper on another subject it restrnn its hostility 10
the platform which 1t "spits uron." We refer TO the dec
sion Of the first e9adon which has occurred under
the Ashburton treaty. and which hls caused excite
ment in New York. Tho United States Commissioner has
decided that Thomas kline alleged fugitive from justice
for offence committed in Ireland connected with the op-
prcssve system OF tenany and has been claimed by
the agent, Of the British Government should be surrendered
Upon this decision tie Secretary of State will prota
bly, sign for the c1tradiliun Of the prisoner and
he will be taken back for trial in place where the oi.nce
is alleged 10 have been committed uncss his counsel should
succeed in obtaining his discharge by ha5eas corpus pro-
cecdng
The Tribune, which "sps upon the platform and is go
much delighted with Gen. Scott, acceptance forrco
its daily fling the Compromis and ii improves This dec
sion thus:
Perhaps our Irish felow-c,zens who look into this FIX
tradition nay obtain from clearer idea Of The beau
tics of thai Fugvc Slave Law which trey generally ap
prove nnd upind That like his. sczss aud conveys
them far for G but does this doca require
proof that they have donc wrong. On the Contrary,
man claimed fugitive from Sl,vety, may be whlrled
away into 70 Peua bondage while every one Knows and 10
disputes that he Is tamtas moral upright, christian
mnn The fact la he Is honest industrious and faithful
