NO SLAVES IN MASSACHUSETTS.

The Committee on Federal Relations have
reported bill, in accordance with the prayer
Of upwards of sixteen thousand petitioners,
asking that the rendition of fugitive slaves
may be prohibited by law" In all our pre-
vious legislation on the subject, there has been
tacit admission of an obligation to surrender
them to the bondage from which they escaped.
The bill now reported distinctly and utterly
repudiates the idea. 1t extends the protection
Of the State over every person who may be
brought or come into the State, and makes
it penal offence to remove, or attempt
10 remove him, on the ground of his
being slave. 1t simply establishes that the
soil of Massachusetts is free soil, and that
henceforth, no slave can be taken from her
borders 1t is based on kind Of generic and
self-evident principle that mans inaienable
rights are not just the things for commissioners
or juries to sit in judgment upon; therefore,
we will have no more of it in Massachusetts,.
Twice, since the fugitive slave law was passed,
we have remanded fugitives into slavery-once,
under circumstances so aggravated and afro
-
the Commonwealth with an overpowering sense
OF shame and dishonor. No effort, however,
worthy OF mention, has been made to repeal II.
Ansre Is little prospect of it, so long as we con-
unue 70 give Its advocates and supporters new
states and fresh favors as often as thew asL for
tnem. Inc states are helpless in this regard.
ne taw hangs over every one, except Wiscon.
- ~
SIM God bless her like thunder cloud But If
they cannot secure its repeal, they can nullify
~ which will amount to nearly the same thing.
We trust no one will be frightened by such an
expression. 1t is only multiplying by law
statute which every humane man has prede
termined to nullify in his practice whenever
he has the opportunity statute which no
man in Massachusetts, humane or otherwise,
dares publicly to defend
There is one defect In the bill, which we

BOSTON AND VICINITY.

A bond of indemnity has been prepared and
signed in Boston, and will be Immediately for
warded to Washington, in hopes of getting the
post office returned to its old place.
Homeopathic Fair was held in Boston, last
week, the receipts of which for four DAYS were
estimated at near $4,000. They were $4,000
for Wednesday alone
The Boston City Government have become
so well satisfied with the successful workings
OF the two steam fire engines procured for the
city, that they have come to the conclusion to
purchase two more during the present year,
which will be deemed sufficient for any emer-
gency that may occur.
Counterfeit Gives" on the Traders Bank,
Boston, were put in circulation on Friday.
This counterfeit is far from being fac siniIe
Of the genuine, but is so well executed that it is
quite likely to deceive.
A rare entertainment came off in the
Charlestown Navy Yard on Monday. Mrs.
Mary Walker, being the landlady of one Ed
ward Poor, who refused to pay his rent, CON
cluded to get some kind of settlement out of
his hide. Calling the object of her indigna-
ton out of one of the shops in the yard, she ad-
ministered to his head, face, back, and sundry
other parts, numerous blows so vigorous that
Mr.. Edward was entirely cowed. His fellow
workmen would not interfere, judging that his
case needed the sort of treatment.
The city authorities of Chelsea have appro-
priated $780, to be expended in enforcing the
liquor law.
The present number of inmates of the
Charlestown State Prison is five hundred and
six.
