Notification in assachusetts.

Our readers will have learned the passage
of the Bill through the Legislature of Mas
sachusetts, to nuIlify The law of 1850, cal
led the Fugitive Slave Law. 1t was veto
ed BY the Governor, through a cOmmunl-
cation by the Attorney General of the
Commonwealth. The opinion of the AT
torney General of its nconstitutionality,
will of course make the Law unavailable,
because he would enter Mole ProseQuI'
in all criminal cases arising under 1t. The
Supreme Court of Massachusetts also has
declared the law unconstitutional. This
is but another link in the chain of sequences
which lie before us. The notification by
HE Supreme Court Of Wisconsin of a
Judgment by one OF the Federal courts
under the Fugitive Slave Law, shows that
the tendency 10 set the law at defiance is
wide spread III both sections, and perhaps
both parties are equally eXasperated. The
whole train Of results has come from
that, which was to give the final quieluS
to the Slavery agitation, we mean the
Kansas Nebraska Bill. The slavery eX.
citement had been Gained down by the
measures Of 1850, and if they
had been permitted quietly to remain upon
the Statute book, and to 90 into operation,
it would have been forever settled but
ike the healthy man who took physic TO
make himself better, we could not let well
enough alone. One Of the most .ingular
facts about this Kansas Nebraska Bill is,
that while the, North, protesting TO hate
slavery, but bound by the Missouri COM
promise 10 admit slave States, being re-
leased from this obligation by the repeal
Of that measure, is ready to go ont Of the
Union, because of that release;on the 9th
er hand of the so members of Congress
from slave States, only six refused to re-
lease the North from its bond. They
went almost as one man for releasing her
from that obligation, and now they quar-,
rel, tie North because Of the breach o I
faith, i'll repeating that compact, and the
South because she is reaping the fruits Of
