Eleven O'Clock, p. Nj.
Five hundred To a thousand person.
have been in the vicinity Of the Court
House all day, ~ this hour. The main
entrances are guarded by the Marshal's
officers, and few persons admitted. All
the doors and passages leading to the
room where Burns Is confined, are
guarded by U. S. soldiers. The Court
House resembles u garrlsoned fortress.
A Sabbath day exhibition Of this
kind creates much feeling, which to
Judge from open expression, is anything
but favorable TO the fugitive slave, as
II is being enforced.
