terday passed over without any renewal of hostil
ties, the mob being overawed by the presence of
strong force Of military. The course pursued by
the United States Marshal has been strongly com
mendedb by the authorities at Washington, and he
has been instructed to maintain the supremacy of
the law Mt any and every hazard. A handful
In circulation in Boston yesterday stating that the
sum demanded for the purchase of Burns, the lug
tive, had been raised by subscriptions, but that
Colonel Suite refused that amount, reguir-
ing an advance. 1t is quite probable that
the story of the Colonels willingness to sell was
pure fiction of the abolitionists in order to ra .
funds to carry the treason. We hope the law will
be allowed to take its due course that the people
OF this country may learn whether or not the su
preme laws of the land to be set at naught by
mob led on by band of notwithstanding fanatics.
Meetings held yesterday in several Of the towns
by the incendiaries, and pacards posted about with
the design of efccting general rising to-day. There
were all kinds Of rumors aloat one to the effect
that thousand pistols had been purchased on Sat
urday with which to arm the mob. The hearing of
the is set down for eleven O'Clock this morning.
and unless the Iumors that have reached are IN
founded we expect deeper tragedy WILDE enacted
at the Boston Court House before the sun sets than
the country has ever before Witnessed.
WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
Our dispatches from tile national capital viii he
found to contain matter worthy the serious cons!-
GRAFTON Of politicians of every stripe and shade.
There are all sorts of combinations in process of
formation, having all sorts of objects in view and
rs Congress will soon take recess for aweek am
pie time will thus be allowed for the completion and
execution OF the various schemes. The antiNe
lraska democrats in office ere doomed to walk the
pl,nk, and there are rumors that their patrons in
tie Cabinet will also be forced into retirement. The
restless Acknowledgement covets the State Depart
ment-it is the goal of his ambition his good for
tune he's never yet deserted him all the political
ends he has hitherto attempted have been gained,
and he looks forward to the accomplishment of his
desire with degree of assurance that has amanirest
destiny air about it. The recently announced
paciGcaiion of the Cuban troubles by hami
atiHg Withdrawal Of the demands made upon Spain
il seized upon by Mr.. Cushing as a favorable pre-.
tcXt fer croWGng the present Premier of the course;
and lie may lie successful. What with the threat
tned " slaughter of the innoCcnts' who have been
hanging by the skirts of the barnburner faction in
this city, the eaousies Of the members Of the Cab
net, and the deplorable lack Of the part Of
the Executive, some sort Of explosion is inevitable
The recusant representatives in Congress from
this State who voted against the Nebraska bill have
in press pamphlet addressed to their constituents
explanatory of their conduct, a synopsis of which
will be found under the Geographic head.
The passage Of tie bill erecting the Territories of
Kansas and Nebraska opens mp some dozen or two OF
fat offices, and already the struggle TO possess them
has begun. An appointment as Governor and Indian
Agent in either of those regions will afford very
pretty plumber, TO say nothing OF the advantages
in perspective. These Territorial Offices are to our
politicians what India is to British place-hunters,
Cuba TO the Spanish pauper nobility. Therefore it
is not surprieing that, in view of the general up
heaving Of the upper crust of all things political,
there should be prevalent laudable desire to serve
the State, even in Nebraska and Kansas.
