The Valorous q u rIInsame.

This, notorious individual had public reception IN
Boston few days ago. He, and his equally MOTOR.
GUS friend, Senator Wilson, made several speeches
apiece, pralsing Abotonism and demo lncing slavery
The Boston Courier, of the ablest and most thor
oughly conservative journals in the North, thus
speaks OF the vaorous Burlngames oratorcal efforts
on the occasion -
g The speeches from first 10 last were weak and
Mr. BurIingame has made very little capital No
man could have had grander opportunity; no man
could have so signaIly failed. Not great thought
escaped hun. He alluded to the only act OF his 1fs
which makes him public creature only to apologize
for it he craved forgiveness for it he disapprovpd
of it and begged his constituents to forgive him and
forget it. He glorfed his partiZans and spoke of
the elevation of MIR. Banks 10 the SpeakersbD as
something equal to the building of State Young
men and old men cheered him /; ladies waved their
handk erchiefs, and bouquets fell at his feet This
was in the hall. In bis balcony Speech he INDUCED
in speculalons the result of the approaching
election, which were cheered by those who agreed
with him, and laughed at by quite number of sensi
bic people.
"Something will be Judged of the sentiments Of
those who occupied seats in the large hail. from The
fact, that at the bidding of great patriot "thse
groans" were given for Rufus Choate. The same
crowd used to groan Daniel Webster, and they are
ready to day 10 do irreverence to anybody who has
the courage and honesty to disagree with them. And
beg leave to say that the number who do dissent
from the sentiments of Mr.. Burlingame, IF his wild
utterances can be called sentiments,-in this com.
munity is quite large large enough, if unod to
disapprove of duellist.
alt is due to truth 10 say that hearty cheers were
given, by the as embIage in the street. for Fillmore
and Buchanan and that but few persons, compare.

his constituents, and repeated his request for forgive

FILLMORE BETTER ANTI SLAVERY EXTENSION
MAN THAN FREMoNT.-Start not reader at the aSser
ton contained in this caption We are not respon'
sihle for il. II is the affirmation of a Northern
Fillmore journal No village newspaper either
but of the most respectable, able and influential
of all his organs The following is copied from the
New York Commercial Advertiser:
AS between MIR. Fillmore and MIR. Fremont, in
the matter of prerequisites for the Presidency, no
| comparisons admissible. Even on this very
slavery question: which the Courier at present regards
the main and only issue, it is unwise of the Repub
licans to provoke comparison. The only vote or
public act of Mr. Fillmore that can be perverted into
a seeming favoing of slavery was the signing of the
fugitive slave law, which signed because con.
stitutionaly passed by the Representatives of the
people in Congress assembled. 1t was an integral
part of grand compromise measure which the
Courier and Enquirer has often endorsed heartily and
uHeH contemporary pIepoi0u W 0"y
that Mr.. Fremont ever expressed his dsapproval oil
that compromise, fugitive slave law included! Or
that he would not have signed it, in the same clrcum'
stances q We imagine it is not prepared to make
any stand upon equal ground. The reader has only 10
look at the votes of each gentleman when respec'
lively in public life, to find that Mr. Fillmore = m
measuraUy better ant,.slavery extension ma" tina"

THREATENED LYNCH Law IN MARYLAD-Ihe
Delaware Republican states that Mr. William Horn,
who formerly kept clothing store and livery saOls
in that city, but who is engaged in buying am
trading in carriages through the lever portion u
Delaware, and the adjacent counties Of Maryianu
was attacked by mob on the 9th inst, chalg?u
with tampering with slaves. Mr.. H. took refuge !"
the hotel of Mr. Purnell, through whose pers9asIoI
the mob finally dispersed after being assured 'n''
the charge was unfounded
