the Navy Yard. Thus ended Burns career in |
Bo ton.
The city last evening was orderly, and, for the |
hrst time for many days, Court street and square !
were free from crowds II is to be hoped that this
STATE OF affairs may long continue and that riots Of
all kinds may he postponed without day.
In consequence of the time consumed by the re- |
moyal Of the Irisoner, and the constant occupancy
OF State street by the multitude business was al
@rdeas &c staeetl ecthange: ngs: Many Many of the
live slave.
At the reque.t Of my friends, Colonel sutte and
Mr.. Erent Of Virginia, whose names have for several
days past occupied much of the public mind, ]
write this. The exciting trial of the fugitive slave
is Ltw over; the United States Commissioner, after
much search and delberation has given his de-
cisi,n, ard the fugitive, Anthony Burns, Is on his
way back TO Virginia. No man in Boston can fairly
say lie cid not have an impartial trial. and that he
was not ably defended by counsel learned In the
law and full of zeal for their client; and that SO lar
as sympathy could go, that it was not all on his
side. In the name Of my Virginia friends have
to thank the citizens Of Boston for the firm and pa
triotc manner in which they have acted during the
wl ole course of this exciting trial. To the United
States marshal, to the civil and military authorities
to The United States District Attorney to his coun
sell and to the citizens who took an interest IN
executing the laws OF the land, III the name Oh
Virginia and the South, Colonel Snttle returns
his waimest thanks. The South will never for
set this act OF justice and when | shall return
to my own State, ! can say to Louisianians
that Boston is a law abiding city, and that
have seen the rights OF Southern respected and
fiimly mainained-that the lder loving citizens OF
Boston, in the broad noon of day executed the con-
stitutional law of the land. The North and the
South are connected by every tie Of blood Of friend
ship and of interest, and cursed be the hand that
shall ever break them apart. Boston is great city,
and in many respects the first in the Union; it is the
seat of learning and Of science; she has sent out to
the South and West many noble son, and her
daughters are now the mothers Of Southern children
shall few misguided men make odious the whole OF
this great city? No, never.
To the disconsolate widow of Mr.. Batchelder-he
who fell in defence of the laws Of his country
have to say that The city Of Alexandria will take care
of her, To the knd-hearted and phanthropic la
dies and gentlemen who actually subscribed and
were anxious to purchase the freedom Of Anthony
Burns am authorized to say, that after his return
to Virginia. they fulfil their benevolent ishes
To the gentlemen of the Boston press who have sus-
tanned the law. the whole country is deeply indebted.
Yours, very respectfully,
II. w. ALLEN, of Louisiana.
