NEW FEATURES OF THE BOSTON ANN.
VERSARIES,

The correspondent of the hderenoem speaks as
follows of the effect upon the Religious Annvcrsa-
ries in Boston of the excitement attending tho re-
cent Fugitive Slave trial in that city
The fugitive slave trial AMI the anniversary
meetings moved on side by side all the week. the
former pouring light, and fire, and energy, and
courage into the latter, and making them meetings
for liberty, for justice, for heahcndom at hcme and
all the more for the free course and triumph Of
truth everywhere.
The platform in Boston was never so used before.
The old-fashioned shyness, which looks this way
and that with pale dread before uttering the
word Slavery, lest some ID. D., or Hon., or NOR
chantprince should return annihilating frown,
Ind all disappeared, and men walked right up
to this suli iect with ease and grace and grit, as
if it were thing to be looked at, handled brand
ed, and knocked aside and out of the way of the
chariot of Iion's King as ne rides on conquering
and to conquer. And must add, that every shot
and stab, every kick and cuff, given to Slavery as
system Of cruelty and blood, 3 compromise-brcak-
ing an notwithstanding power, a usurping
and most dangerous element in our republic, was
received with loud and emphatic demonstrations of
approval by tho audiences. This singular, out
standing, and most noticeable feature in our an
niversary meetings gave to them new character
and infused into them freshness and life, which
made them attractive and good, and which made
the vast assemblies feel that they had come into
closer contact than ever with the great and warm
heart of humanity and love of religion.
If the men who have controlled the Boston An
niversares for the last twenty years had walked
right up" to the sub bccts of Slavery during that
timc the disgraceful scenes which awakened tho
indignation of the platform this year would never
have occurred. The Fugitive Slave law, in that
case, would neycrhaye been enacted Il. S. Stand

AIpING AND ABETTING.-Judge Curtis, of tho U.
S. Court at Boston, has made charge to the grand
Jury since the rescue, with the evident design to
secure the punishment Of Wendell Phillips and
Theodore Parker and others, for the use of free
speech at the Faneuil Hall meeting, against the
Burns kidnapping. lie proposed to do this under
the law of 1870, which provides that if any per-
son shall knowingly or wiluy obstruct, resist or
oppose any officer Of the United States, in serving
or attempting to serve or execute any measure,
process, or warrant, or any rule order of any of
Of the courts of the United States, or any legal
writ or process Whatever or shall assault beat or
wound any officer, or other person duly authorized,
in serving or executing any writ, rule, order,
process or warrant, aforesaid, such person shall,
on conviction, be imprisoned not exceeding twelve
months, and fined not exceeding three hundred
dollars"
Says the Standard: "Aftcr showing what con
sttutes an obstruction within the meaning of the
the statute, Judge Curtis proceeds to say that not
only are those guilty of the offence who actually
resist the officer by force, but also those who hay
ing influence Others use that influence to in
duce the commission of crime, while they them
selves remain at a safe distance My instruction
to you is, he says, that language addressed to
persons who Immediately afterwards commit an
offence, actually intended by the speaker to incite
those addressed to commit it, and adapted thus to
incitc them, is such counsellifg or advising to
the crime as the law contcmplates, and the person
melting others is liable to be indicted as prin-
cipa'
at remains to be seen whether the Grand Jury
will obey these instructions of the Judge who
earned his seat on the Bench by his alacrity in
slaNecatching. We hope they will, for the trial of
such men upon such charge, in the present state
of public feeling in Massachusetts, would exert
happy influence. The defence of Phillips and Par
ker upon such trial would be something worth
listening to-"

Hon. EDWARD WADE.-We are obliged to Mr..
Wade for copy of his admirable speech in Con-
gress on the Kansas Nebraska question. Our
readers will find the concluding portion of it on
our first page to-day 1t is worthy Of their attcn-
ton.
Well and truly does Mr.. Wade state the question
at issue, Either the Constitution does does not
recognize slaves as property, and guarantee to the
master property in his slaves. If the Constitution
does this, then it is hypocrisy, a deluson, a
cheat; ba if docs not, lien Me Government, u"e1c'
the joint misrule Of tie STARE and dough tace po~er,
las been and is usu'paton and fraud, ,rhich toa
not only justify, tm absolutely demands, either an
administration based on The free spirit Of the Consti
tuition, or dissolution Of tie Unioa."
Mr.. Wade, believing the Constitution to be anti
slavery takes the former of these positions. But
he fully iustilies those who do not the Constitu
ton in that light, in seeking dissolution of the
Union. We can see but the two courses. And in our
opinion, very many of the Free Soil anti-slaycry
men are looking upon the question in the same
light. We hope they may all so it, and that
that political anti-slavery which recognizes the
Constitution pro-slavery, and yet swears to sup
port it, with the hope of thereby aboshing slavery
we say earnestly hope this sort of anti-savery
may soon expire. No good, but much evil does it
bring in the hand to hand conflict in which we are
now engaged.

COMFoRTISG.-For our own part, We confess to
some degree of satisfaction, in contemplating the
fact, that just in proportion as slaveholding arro
gance and imposition succeeds in creating an anti
slavery feeling in just that proportion do the new
converts come forward and avow the most odious
of all abolition scntimcnts,-the opinion Mdt tbs
picked Union must and wM perish. That in its
destruction is our only hope. The passage of the
Nebraska BILL with its test oath, and the enforce
mcnt of the fugitive slave law by the bayoncts of
foreign mercenaries, is to fix this conviction
upon the minds even of cool conservatives, to say
nothing of the impulsive men who blab out their
convictions without thinking of their inconsistency
with the curses they have heretofore heaped upon
abolitionists who have seen Ills end from the be-
ginning, and have had the courage to proclaim
their convictions. This impulsiye ayowal Of
disunion, though unreliable to-day, gives us hope
that some day, the antslavery Of the country will
unite even upon the "impracticability" and "radi-
calism" which it has been the business Of the
country to scout and deride. We can wait But
for the Siaee's sake would to God that the conflict
with such union and purpose, were to day at its
height, and the battle now raging with its iereest
blows.

ANTI FUGITIVE LAW LEAGUE IN WIS
CONSIN.

A Convention of the people of tho County of
Racine, in tho State of Wisconsin, was held at
Ives Grove on Thursday, the first of June
Eleven towns were represented, by regular dele
gates to the number of one hundred and four.
After the organization Of the Convention, q Com
mittec was appointed who reported constitution
for an anti-Fugitive Law League The preamble
and first article of the Constitution are follows
Whereas The late execution of the Fugitive
Slave Act in this country and the necessities of
defence arising therefrom, require of us the form
alton of league for the purpose of protecting
own rights and the rights Of those jeoparded by
that act--placing proper estimate on the value
of liberty, and execratng despotism in every form
bind ourselves together under the following rules
and regulations:
ART. /. This association shall be known by the
name of the Racine County League. It's object is,
first, TO preserve the liberty of the person of every
inhabitant of the county regardless of the color of
tratc every attempt at kidnapping, by all the
which God has given us-third, to shield, by COM
bined influence of united purses and strong arms,
all individuals from harm who may he in danger
of suffering from carrying out the object of this
League.
Such associations are among the necessities of
these Kidnapping times. They ought to exist in
every community. Abolitionists in the case of a
seizure of a fugitive have to contend with the
gorernmcnt, with all its power, and must always
yield to superior force, when force is called into
the field. Their only means of success is therefore
in good management, and in promptly securing
the safety of the victim before the government can
rally its myrmidons. Where well organized as
sociation exists this can often be done. Let them
be found therefore, in imitation of the Wisconsin
League, and of the efficient Vigilance Committees
of the Eastern cities

NUTS FOR ABOLITION CRACKING, are numerous
with the shallow knayes who pretend that men
love slavery and abhor freedom. The New Orleans
Picayune, passes the following around for abolition
cracking:
A Nut FOR TIE ABoLITIoNIsTs--Thc steamship
Pampero, on her last trip from San Juan, brought
up twelve or fifteen slaves, who, together with
their master, were on their return from California
to Georgia. These slaves were taken out to Cali
iornia by their master in the spring of 1850, and
as soon as practicable after their arrival in San
Francisco started for the gold mines, where they
have ever since labored faithfully, the proceeds OF
their labor rendering their owner wealthy When
they returned to San Francisco, the owner address
sed them, and informed them that they were free,
and offered to rig them out in fine style, and give
each OF them sufficient sum of money to enable
him to start fair in the world for himself. With
out Il single exception they refused. They had all
been looking forward with great glec to a return
to the ''old plantation" and the 'uid folks at home
and so back they all came, and by this time, per
haps, they are astonishing the young darkies who
have never left home, with the wondrous instances
which bcfe them in the land of gold, and crafty
ing them with sight of the monkeys, paroquets
&c, which they picked up on the Isthmus of Me
aragua. The above facts gathered from gen
tlemen who came through with the slaves and
their owner and who were perfectly cognizant OF
the matters stated; and we recommend this simple
ana truthful narrative to the consideration of the
dupcs of the Garrisons, Greeey's Beechers and
Stoves of the North. As for the dcccycrs them
selves they have no wish to hear the truth Il
would destroy their business, falsehoods being
their stock in trade.
The New York Tribune disposes of this by pro
posing bargain. 1t says:
Now we are perfectly willing to agree and estab
lish that every slave who may now or hereafter bt
found in the Free States shall go back into Slavery
if his master can coax him back, if the South viii
agree that those who can't be coaxed back sbal
not be forced back by means of Albertis, blood
hounds, revolvers, marshals, slave commissioners
and other such revolving machinery. Is not thai
fair? Shall it, o Pie be bargain

TwESTr-TnREE slaves made a successful effort to
escape last week from Grant Co., Kentucky. Not
so successful were nine others from Boonecounty
The company consisted of four men, two women,
and three children. After succeeding in crossing
the river, they were betrayed by colored man
brought before Commissioner who was white
man, and sent back by marshals who were wnlte
men, to be lashcd by n white ovcrsccr, at the conf
mand of white Shareholder, for the crime OF
loving liberty. One of the men thus disappointed
and downcast, was over sixty years of age.
How indescribably contemplate is that craven
hearted submission which can aid, can quietly
look on and see the c'ld and the aged thus doomed
to cruel Disappointing. to hopeless slavery, with
no prospect of release but by death. But thus
infamously submissive is Cincinnati, the Queer
City of the West. Boston did herself the credit
to murmur her disrleasulo, and compel thus the
cowardly kidnappers to appeal to bayonets and
powder for aid. We arc ashamed Of the metropolis
of Ohio that she tamcly and meanly submitted tc
this outrage without excitement or agitation.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM"

Traitors to freedom must of course do something
to conceal their treason. Tho plan of General
Cass, and few others in Congress, is to make n
great outcry about the freedom of conscience Of
Americans abroad. Hoping thus to conceal their
own and their partys tyranny, in compelling their
fellow citizens st lromc by the bayones Of foreign
mercesaricS to violate their consciences by catch
ing and returning slaves. They find it u cheap
way Of doing, while enforcing slavery ut home, to
pirate of liberty Of conscience abroad.
In continuation of this shallow p,etence, Mr..
Cass recently made long, laundering and stupid
speech in Congress on the subject of the rights OF
conscience. Of course this, and nothing else,
could be the character of speech on that subject,
by friend of the enforcement of the fugitive
slave law and of all the slaycocratic cnornties Of
this government.
Bishop Hughes, of New York, has taken him
weakness, without mercy. The Bishop very skill
fully avoids any defence of papal lying and intol-
erancc " tears Mr. Casss weak positions
and ir statements to "shrcds and tatters, "
max ierals speech appear most pitiablc
! If such rs General Cass would confne themselves
to their legitimate business, and advocate the lib
erty of Democratic slaveholding, and christian
sluve-hunting they would appear to better advant-
age as logicians, at least.
We may add, that the Bishops appreciation Of
the rights of conscience, are quite as absurd as
those of the Senators. The former afirms the
supremacy of congressional cnactments, and the
latter of papal edicts. And it is somewhat agree
able to see these champions of temporal and spir.
itual despotism tearing away at each other with
such will and yigor.

Later From California.

The French fleet, comprising three frg-
ates and 4 sloop Of war, arrived at San
Francisco on the third They mad in con-
junction with the English fleet attacked the
Russian town and port Of Pertopanra in
Kamskchatka, from which the allied squad.
ron was repulsed with loss Of killed and
wounded yariously estimated at from one
to two hundred. The British rear Admiral
Price. who commanded the united heet
was killed by pistol shot during the en-
gagement. It is supposed he accidentally
shot himself. Two Russian vessels were
captured by the allies. The British ships
sailed afterwards for Vancouvers' Is

cided that the Chinese are all under the
meaning of the clause Of the Constitution OF
California which says thatno black or mu'
latto person or Indian shall be allowed to

show it has been decided that native OF
