our columns to-day as clear and iniellisn'
BILE accom-, Of The circumstances OF the arrest
and trial of the colored man in Boston
charged with being fugitive slave as We

his decision this morning. We fevenily

man who has been guilty Of no crime bu,
that Of loving his liberty. While The cir.
cums'ance. wh.cifhave ,ranspired have in.
creased our dis,asie FOR the provisions OF the
abominable fugitive slave law, aud while
we see lha, The intense public feeling which
exists in Boston and which has led TO dis

TO The late perfdious acts Of Congress, we
are moi among those who feel that the pub.
lie peace should be jeopardized. Let the
laws be respected but let every man who
has human heart in his bosom, and vote
10 give, acl in The spirit Of freeman, vote for
men and such men only for Congress who
will no, lrample upon The rights of The peo-
pie and who will not disregard in the max.

the spirit Of republican liberty.

Din Mr.. CRrrTrSpEs voLuxrErs ,
There are several papers which defend the
course pursued by Mr.. Cri,tenden in acting
as counsel for young Ward in the late mur-
der trial, among which is the Providence
Journal. Tho principal complain, against
him is, that be volunteered his services
to defend the assassin. The Journal says
"Hs did not volunteer: he was applied to
three times and declined. He then yielded
to the prayers aud tears Of women what he
had refused 70 the entreaiies Of men and 10

A PARTING HYMN.
TUNE-Zion.


Swiftly by our time has stolen,
Since we met to preach aud pray;
Months, on months, in quick succession,
Silently have past away.
Now we're parting
Duty calls and we obey.
Swift have past the heeiing hours,
Since we met together here
Where Gods grace in holy showers,
Scattered all our doubt aud fear.
Now we're parting
Others soon will join you here.
God indeed has blcst us greatly,
With his grace and holy love;
And his spirit guiding gently,
Leads US up It. courts above.
There no parting
Nor its pains ere more TO prove.
Brethren, then, Adieu! bid YOU,
Soon You'll leave the shores Of time
And the joyful iidings greet yon,
OF rest in heavens fair cline.
There forever
Songs with angel-notcs to chime.
Sisters! Now I'm called to leave you,
And we take the parting hand;
Grace and peace, from God preserve you,
Till YOU reach fair Canaan's land.
Grace assisting
There we'll take the greeting hand.
Friends Of every name and order,
IHaaks for all your kindness shown;
Christ the Lord, our common Muster
Loves his people all as one.
May his blessing
Richly all, your actions crown.
Now, adieu! AL friendly hearers,
Practice whit you've heanl me say;
All who still remain Us sinners
D, repent while yet you may.
Fare YOU well, all
Till the solemn judgement day.
