Anthony Burns slept at his house in this city on the

The Examiner reviews the case of Tony Burns
the fugitive. After showing up the facts in style
OF severity, it refers to the attempt of the Northern
newspapers and Abolitioniss, in and out of Boston,
to palm this riot and assassination upon the coun
try as the result ofthe passage OF the Nebraska BILL
and as proof ofa higher excitement and more de-
termined and widespread spirit of resistance at the
North to the Constitution and the laws of Congress
than ever before existed But the Examiner says
these Boston outrages evidence no such thing
They are the work Of Wendell Phillips, Theo.

and the black andiwhite men who have been labor
ing with them in the cause of treason, for many
years. In conclusion.the Examiner.says that Bos-
ton now is the same Boston it in the last
with Great Britain; that it was when Shadrach was
rescued the same law breaking, seditious Boston,

The Hhig quotes from the N. Y Courier com
munication purporting to come from "a Southern
Wing in 3upportlof the proposition that the Com
promises of 1920 and 1850 must stand or fall to-
gether; that the good and true men of the North
who desire to preserve un unimpared the Compro
misses of the Constitution-to restore that of 1920
which has just been repealed by a corrupt Congress
should at organize for the approaching
State and Congressional elections, and that no
| other question but that OF REPEAL should enter
| Eto the canvass. This wonderful correspond ent
also says that there are men enough in the South
who will rally around that standard, if no other
questions, such as free so &c, is permitted to be
| brought into the elections. The Wing replies to
| this document, which has any thing else than a
| Southern tone, and says, among other things
| If our Northern brethren calculate upon any
sympathy from the South, in effort to repeal the
| Nebraska bill, they never were more mistaken in
| their lives. We can hardly conceive that any of
them are extremely ignorant OF Southern senti-

Mr.. Faulkner in Congress, instrucing the Commit.
tee on the Judiciary to report bill making come

| such resolution adopted. 1t would be more fit
that Congress should act in this matter than that
private contributions should be made up for the
same purpose at the South for the officer was
killed in attempting to execute law of the United
States, and in resisting the advance of those who
were bent upon violating il. Besides, it would be
| an instructive lesson to these murderers, if Con.
gress were to throw the weight of it's approval
into the scale of the fugitive slave law at this time
If Congress were to take this step it would also be
a singing rebuke to those murderers, p rovided
they have any sensibility. The best rebuke would
| be to hang dozen or two OF them by the neck on
| Boston Common. But there is no probability of
this. We can, says the Mail, bring them to their
senses only by retaliation. Let us cease ell inter.
course with the North, until they give us some guar
antee that constitutional rights will be respect.
