The FUGITIvE SLAVE LAw.-The United
States Attorney General, Mr.. Gushing, has
given legal opinion upon the right Of re
clamatiOn Of fugitive slaves in unorgauizcd
territories, in which he holds:
H.. Any such fugitive from service in
the Indian country is there unlawfully, and
as an intruder. is subject to arrest by the
executive authority of the United States.
80. Such fugitive cannot be protected
from extradition by any Indian tribe or na-
ton; for the Indians are themselves the
mere subjects of the United States, and
have no power to conflict with the constitu-
ton Of the United States.
"3. By the local law Of the organized
political communities of the Chickasaws,
Cherokees and Choctaws, there is ample
provisions for the delivery of fugitivcs from
service in any Of the states'

TIE PRESIDENT Or THE L. 5. SENATE.
The extract from the PcRHsylraaiaH ex-
presses, in more eloquent and appropriate
terms than we could command, opinions
and facts relative to the distinguished SEN
ator from Indiana, to which we most cor
daily respond, and which, we are conf
deut, will meet hearty amen from the
democracy of New England
at will be seen, by reference to our
congressional news, that the Hon jesse D..
Bright, of Indiana, was yesterday elected
president of the senate. He received
twenty-four votes, against twenty-five cast
for three other candidates. This was vir-
tually unanimous vote of his party, and,
while it must be grateful to his feelings, is
only just recognition of the faithful and de-
voted manner in which he has sustained the
principles Of that party to which he is so
firmly attached, and which has derived so
much advantage from his great abilities.
The public career of Mr.. Bright should,ex-
cite in the minds Of the intelligent youth of
our country the greatest emulation. BY
the power of his intellect, the force of his
industry, and by his honorable and manly
bearing, he has reached the highest dignity
in the nation, next to president and vice
president; and that, TOO, before he has ar
rived in years at the zenith of manhood
His history is pleasing to contemplate
With a commanding figure and fine address
he could scarcely fail to be attractive; but
when the nobleuess of his nature is under
stood, and the genius which revels in his
eye is manifested, few can escape the witch
cry Of his society. Nature often delights
in making noblemen, that she may contrast
them with the creatures decorated with
stars and ribbons, in order to render her
workmanship Of princes ludcrous. and con-
vince men that rank is but the goiuea's
stamp
Mr.. Bright was sought ont early in life
by the democracy of Indiana, to represent
them in the legislature. In that position
he acquitted himself with honor, and so
satisfied were his constituents with his
course and his abilities, that they speedily
elevated him to seat in our national hall.
A man Of his mental requirements and
fine personal appearance could not play a
secondary part in our national affairs /;
hence he was soon called to important du-
tics in the house, all Of which he discharg-
ed with the utmost satisfaction, and receiv-
ed for his diligence and statesmanlike quail
tiles the loftiest encomums. Indiana de-
sired his services OF home, and determined
to elect him lieutenant governor of that
state, which she did by very large major
ity. Finding that she had worthy citi-
zen, in whom there was no guile, she re-
solved to place him in a position where his
great talents and honorable character
would find suitable forum for their dis
play, and he was elected to the United
States senate-the most digni6ed body un-
der heavens canopy-beeause 1t exemplihes
the sovereignty Of the states, as well as
the will of tho people. He is now the
chief dlhcer OF that august body with a
