Arrests on Saturday.

John C. Cluer, was arrested, on Saturday
about o'clock, p. M, was brought up on
Monday, before Justice Cushing, of the Po-
lice Court, aud was held to answer to charge
of numbering Bachelor, the assistant kdnap-
per. John Morrison was also arrested on the
same charge, but was not examined on Mon
day. A staIwart colored man, named Nelson
Hopewell was taken in Court Square, about
half past clock, p. m. The Journal says
that he was armed with creese, which was
stained with blood. The Journal would seem
to insinnate that he slew Bachelor.
Eighteen persons were arrested and COM
mitted to custody on Saturday night. 9th
ers were taken up, but were soon afterwards
discharged.

Tho Fugitive slave Case in Boston.

The Fugitive Slave Case in Boston.
The public indignation still continues to in
crease, in relation to the kidnapping of Burns.
Men of conservative feelings, and formerly
active members in the ranks of organized con-
servatism, are loud and earnest, in their de-
nunc:ations of the Southern villainy which
repudiates the solemn compacts made in favor
of freedom, but compels, with naughty inso-
lenee, the execution of conpacts made in
favor of Slavery. There never was a feeling
of SO general, strong, intense, and bitter hos
tility to the South, and her institutions, in
this community, as there is now. Benedict
Arnold Douglas, Frank Pierce, and the
Southern Nebrascals may thank themselves
for it. They have aroused spirit in the
North which cannot be allayed until Congress
ceases to be lawless mob, aud until the free
North, and not the Slave South, shall rule
this coufederacy.
We continue our details of the incidents
connected with this attempt at manstealing.

ings of the Court should be continued under
such circumstances.
The Commissioner ordered tho examination
to proceed.
B. F. Hallett, U. s. District Attorney, rose
and defended the bearing of arms, by the
Marshal's aids. The Commissioner ordered
him to sit down, and tried to prevent his i'm
pertinent intrusiyeness, but he refused to sit
down until he had passed a eulogium on the
U. S. Marshal.
Mr.. Ellis objected to Loring proceeding as
Commissioner, on the ground that he was not
qualified but this was over ruled. The case
then commenced by William Brent being
called, and testifying that he was merchant
of Richmond, Va; was acquainted with Col.
Charles F. Suttle, and had been for long
time; knew Anthony Burns the black man
in Court was the same-the prisoner at the
bar he knew Burns in Stafford County, and
bore the relation of slave to master, &c.
The witness testified to the admissions of
Burns in relation to his being thes lave Of Col
Suttle. Mr.. Ellis objected to such admis-
sions being received as evidence, as the 9th
chapter of the Fugitive Slave Law, expressly
provides thar in no trial under this act, shall
the evidence of the alleged fugitive be received.
Seth Thomas argued that his testimony was
not admissible, under the act, in favor of his
freedom, but it could be received in the form
of admissions in favor of his claimant.
The Commissioner admitted the evidence.
The trial was progressing when We received
the latest news from Boston.

How BURNS WAS DIscovERED.-Soon after
Burns arrival here, as it now appears, he
wrote a letter to his brother, in Alexandra,
who is also a slave of Mr.. Suite, stating
that he was at work with Coffin Pitts, in Brat
tie street, cleaning old clothes. This letter he
dated III "Boston," but sent it to Canada,
where it was post marked and sent according
to the superscription, to Burns brother in
Alexandra AS is the custom at the south,
when letters are received directed to slaves,
they are delivered to the owner of such slaves,
who opens them and examines their contents.
This appears to have been the case with
Burns letter, and by his own hand his place
of retreat was discovered by his master.-Bos-
ton Gazette.

the Marshal hires to execute his behests =
There Is another law, which my friend, Mr..
Phillips, has described, III language such as
cannot equal, and therefore shall not try
only state it i'll its plainest terms. 1t is the
law of the people, when they are sure they
are right, ami determined to 60 ahead
[Cheers.
Now, gentlemen, there was Boston once,
and you and l had fathers-brave fathers I;
and mothers who stirred up those fathers to
manly deeds. Well, gentlemen, once it came
to pass that the British Parliament enacted a
claw they called it a law-issuing stamps
here. What did your fathers do on that oc-
casion They said in the language,of AL
gernon Sydney quoted in your resolutions,
" that which is not just is not law, and that
which is not law ought not to be obeyed -
[Cheers. The did not obey the stamp act
They did not call it Iasc, and the man that
did call it law, here, eighty years ago would
have had a very warm coat of tar and feath-
ers on him. They called it an " act" and
they took the Commissioner who was here to
execute it-took him solemnly nanfullv,-
they didn't harm a hair of his head; they
were non-resistents, of very potent sort,
laughter, and made him take solemn
oath, that he would not issue a single stamp.
He was brother-in law of the Governor of the
State, the servant Of royal master, exceed
lngly respectable, of great wealth, and once
very popular but they took him, and made
him swear not to execute his commission
and he kept his oath, and the stamp act went
to its own place, and you know what that
was. Cheers. That was an instance Of the
people going behind wicked law to enact
absolute justice into their justice, and max
ing it common law. You know what they
did with the tea.
Well, gentlemen, in tile South there is a
public opinion, ut is a very wicked public
opinion, which is stronger than law. When
a colored seamen goes to Charleston from Bos-
ton, he is clapped instantly into jail, and kept
there until the vessel is ready to sail, and the
Boston merchant or master, must pay the bill.
and the Boston blackman must feel the smart.
That is wicked example, set by the State of
South Carolina. When Mr.. Hoar, one of
our most honored and respected fellow-citi-
Zens, was sent to Charleston, to test the legal
ity of this ubiquitous law, the citizens of
Charleston ordered him off the premises, and
he was glad to escape to save himself from
further insult. There was no violence no
guns fired. That is an instance of the strength
ofpublic opiai0n--ofa most uni st and iniqui-
tous public opinion.
Well, gentlemen, l say there is one law
slave law; it is every where. There is anoth-
er law, which also is finality; and that law,
it is in your hands and your arms and you
can put that III execution, just when you see
tit. Gentlemen, am clergyman and man
OF peace; love peace. But there is means,
and there is an cnd Liberty is the end, and
sometimes peace is not the means towards it.

New York, May 29.-Last evening the
church at the corner of Prince and Marion
streets, was filed with an intelligent audience
Of white and colored people, to hear DR.. Pen
nington relate the circumstances connected
with the arrest of his brother and nephews.-
He attempted to afford his brother the assist
ance of counsel but was unable to do so, the
officers at the MARSHAL Office having deceived
him in relation to the time the trial was to
take place before the Commissioner.
Intense excitement was manifested during
the proceedings, and much sympathy in behalf
of DIR. Pennington.

The Springfield Republican, leading Wing
Journal which acquiesced in the Compro-
misses of 1850, makes the following remarks
on the present attempt to desecrate the soil of
Massachusetts,, by the abduction of Burns
"The embittered feeling of the North re-
ceiyes fresh irritation i'll the new instances of
the execution of the odious fugitive slave law.
The peril of the Union in 1850, was NO wise
so great as that in which it lies at this moment.
The bold aggressiveness of slavery is striking
fatal blows at the perpetuity Of our republic,
and accustoming the people OF the North to
serious calculations of the value of connec-
ton which produces scenes so revolving to hui
mainly and so odious to every decent feeling
of liberty, while its government disregards
and destroys other and higher interests, that
it may stimulate and extend that which is the
parent of such scenes, and about whose ex-
istence clusters every form of evil, social de-
graduation and anti-republcan doctrine.

PIANO FoRTEs. We saw most beautiful
instrument of this kind, on Friday, at the
music rooms of Mr.. A. Whiting, Piper Block
1t was manufactured bv w. p Emerson of
Boston, and was purchared for Hon. Charles
Thurber ofthis city, at the cost Of $500. The
case is of rosewood deliberately carved and pol
ished, and presents rich and most symmetri-
cal appearance as a work of art. The tones of
the instrument are perfect, the lowest treble
being clear and full, snd the high tones of the
bass swelling out to the volume of an organ.
The wires of this instrument are of the superb
or and improved manufacture of our fellow
citizen, Ichabod Washburn, Esq.
Mr.. Whiting is an accomplished pianist,
and successful teacher, and we believe has in
troduced several of those splendid pianoes into
the families where he has taught. x.

proposal to obtain Burns Freedom.

On Saturday night the following document
was drawn up in the off eeof commissioner Lor-
ing, and promptly signed by several prominent
citizens of Boston:
BosToN. May 27, 1854.
owe, the undersigned, agree to pay Antho-
ny Burns, or order, the sum set against our
respective names, for the purpose of enabling
him to obtain his freedom from the United
States Government, in the hands of whose
officers he is now held as slave"
Suttle had previously agreed to accept the
sum of 5000, but when it was presented to
him he made the frivolous excuse that his
costs must also be settled, and on this ground
refused to accept the cheques for the money.
1t was hoped on Saturday night that Burns
would be freed in this way, but the Southern
Shyiock was memorable, and would not relax
his grasp upon him.
SwadGy.--On Sunday the crowd was kept
ont of Court Square by means Of the avenues
being closed with ropes, and policemen keep
ing guard. There were no arrests made 70

on duty, to see that the Fugitive Slave edict
was executed; while the clergy generally
prayed for the Slave.
Monday.-Early on Monday morning
crowd Of people began to collect in Court
Square, and was continually being augmented
by accessions from the country towns. About
noon the men of Worcester, with banner
bearing the words, Worcester Freedom Club
marched to Court Square, and were greeted
with loud cheers. They marched round the
Court House, amidst the plaudits of the null

where they were addressed by several speak

At 4 O'Clock p. M all was quiet in the vi

was' that the slave should not 20 back.
