The islands have been discovered by

English has become the common language

BILE therefore, to admit the French TO an
equality with the English language and
the evident design of the French is to
bully the Hawaiians into obligations in
this matter impossible to fulfill, and then
punish them for the failure by subiugation.
Public demonstration in the United States

ANOTHER EXCITEMENT FROM THE RE-
cLAIMATIoN OF FUGITIVE SLAvEs.--Con-
siderable excitement is caused in Mary
land from circumstances arising out OF the
capture of fugitive slaves who had esca.
ped into Pennsylvania. 1t seems that the
owners of the slaves appointed man
named Emaneul Meyers, who resides in
Carroll county, near the Pennsylvania
border, as their agent to take the slaves
and bring them back, as he could un.
doubtedy do, under the Fugitive Slave
law of 1851, provided he did so without
committing breach OF the peace. Armed
with this authority, Meyers went to Pen.
nsylvania, where the negroes lived, and
in the middle of the night succeeded in
capturing and taking them back. A great
cutlery was made on the arrest being dis
covered, as many people really believed
that the negroes were free, and. on thu
oath Of negro named Coleman, war
rant was Issued for the arrest Of Meyers
without specifying that the negroes were
free. This warrant was handed over Il
Mr. Robert Mccartney, the Sheriff o
Cumberland county who bribed the drive
of the mail stage to entrsp Meyers. Thi
he did by driving near, to the border o
Maryland, but on the Pennsylvania side
where, holding up letter he told Meyer
to come for it. Not suspecting treacher
Meyers complied, when Mccartney an
his confederates jumped from the stage
and captured him after a severe struggle
Meyers was subsequently released O.
rendering bail in the sum of S2500, t
appear and answer at the August term G
the Cumberland Court. The Governor Q
Maryland, it is said, is taking steps 70
the protection Of the citizens from simila
outrages.
