North. even now when the slave question is all
so happily ''conpromised'' and slave agitation
SO etfectually put down. We commend the ar

shows the estimation in which they and their eff
forts are held at the South. ne may add that
the New Bedford papers affirm that the state

the ringing Of bells, is eminen,ly false.

Our townsman and friend, Major Hodsden,
with several Others, went TO Boston in pursuit of
their property, when the following was the recep-
iion and success they met with, and we ask the
attention of every Southeruer seriously to it:
Arriving at Boston, they went first and engag-
ed lawyer, s. J. Thomas, as counsel during
their stay.
The U. S. Marshal, Freeman, was seen, who
appeared anxious TO give them all the assistance

ing the fugiliyes, and to write him by every mail
OF the progress he made in the prosecution of his
duty. This letter was sent on Thursdsy, and
by the next Monday nothing had been received
from The Deputy Marshal,
Then Mr. Hodsilen and two or three Of his
friends went up to that den Of negro thieves and
fugitive protectors at New Bedford Here they
learned from the Deputy Marshal that he had
recognized the negroes, and told the street he
found them upon, but told them they were gone
He would give them no further satisfaction, ex

the negroes at present resided. Going there, the
negroes were NOT TO be found. Mr. H., and his
friends used every precau,ion Of secrecy and
quleude posslble,to keep down the object Of their
mission. They disguised themselves, went in
different directions, and used every endea vor in
as silent manner as could be, to discover the
whereabouts Of the lugitives; but all in vain, SO
generally was the matter brulted, and SO we'll

on Monday the bells rung ont the well understood

aud jeers of ihe press were added to the injury
and the insult our Southern fellow citizens had IL
endure. The Bedford Standard, the organ of the
Black Guards, black fngiyes, and rowdies and
negro stealers of that rank stew of fanatics and
outlaws, came out with the following notice:
"FuGITIyE SLAvEs.-We are informed
that person visited this city from Boston, on
Saturday, in pursuit Of two fugitive slaves Az
ter looking about and examining the premises, he
returned TO Boston in the evening train. This
morning he came here again wlthtw or three
persons as assistants, but the fugilives had gone.
Man hunting and woman-steaIing is considered
rather mean business in New Bedford, and we
imagine that all scoundrels who should attempt it
here, would meet with proper reception from
the persons pursued !ss
Thus are citizens of sovereign State treated,
when they go and.s' breathe the pure atmosphere
OF New England morals,'' in search of their
property. This is one of the many outfages our
citizens have to submit to from the lawless aboi-
tionists that make up that sweet, glorious New
England, which inerant orators on Virginiar soil

If man is caught harborng negroin Vrgin-
ia, with the stain Of secreting stolen property
upon his fame and the guilt in his heart, he IS
punished with the utmost severity Of the law:
and negro stealing by Southerners, is visited in
all The slave States, with penalties more or less
severe. But ltt the Massachusetts aboliiionists,
who give to New England 8 its pure amosnbere,'
steal the negroes ofthe South, and there is il APP
pears, no redress. The Constitution, the laws,
the Compromises may all go to the devil for

b There are some 1900 negroes in New Bedford,

to The rights Of her citizens For the last twelve
months, from forty to fifty thousand dollars worth
of this kind of property has left this port /; and
when any portion Of it is gone AFTER every obsa-s
Gle is thrown IN tho way, and the owners in DUR
suit sIgmatized as 4" scoundrels and man. hunters
and women stealers.'' The Deputy Marshal for
fened histrust by making The matter public, and
NOT giving any aid to the owners; and we do not
think the Marshal in Boston did his duty. He
ought to have gone TO New Bedford Immediately
himself We have no room for further comment
at this time, upon this shameful outrage. The
simple narration Of the above, is sufficient COM
