THR FUGTrtvE SLAVE TRADE.-The u.
s. District Attorney has filed with the Su-
preme Court Of Wisconsin the mandate of
the United States Supreme Court, in the mat
ter Of sherman NJ Booth, held in violation Of
the fugitive Slave law, in the rescue Of GLOW
or. If the State Court obeys this mandate,
Booth will be returned TO the custody Of the
United states Marshal, from which he was
discharged by the decision which has been
reversed. If the Court does not obey this
mandate, then it becomes the duty Of the U.
S. authorities to enforce it,
IRREPREssrnLE CoSFI1or.-The declara-
ton laid down by Mr.. Seward, says the New
York Erening Post in his Rochester speech,
that there is such an "irrepressible conflict
between the institutions Of slavery and free
labor that one or the other must ultimately
prevail throughout the Union, has been de-
nounced by Douglas and others as a bloody
and reasonable hercsy. Mr.. Everett, how
ever, in his last Grafton on Webster, intimates
that Mr. Seward is brandishing borrowed
thunder, and that the doctrine in question
had much less heretical origin. Mr.. Ever
EFT says:
He Mr.. Webster not only confidently
anticipated what the lapse of seven years since
his deccase has witnessed and is witnessing.
that the newly acquired and newly organized
territories of the Union would grow up into
free States but IN common Nth all or nearly
all the statesmen of the last generation, he be-
heyed that free labor ,ootild ultimately prevail
throughout the country. He thought he saw
that in the operation of the same causes.
which have produced this result in the Mid
die and Eastern States, it was visibly taking
place in the States north of the cotton-grow-
ing region and he inclined to the opinion
that there, also, under the influence of physi-
cal and economical causes, free labor would
eventually be found most productive and
would therefore be ultimately established"

THE AURORA IN THE TRoPIos.-By way
of Havana we have some later intelligence
from Jamaica. The Aurora Borealis was wit
messed in that island, it seems, for the first
time, perhaps, since its discovery by Christopher
Columbus. So rare is the phenomenon in
those latitudes that it was taken for the glare
of fire, and was associated with the recent
riots. Up to the latest advces it had not
entered into the Imagination of the most as
tute to refer it TO a celestial cause. II is de-
scribed as magnificent and beautiful in the
extreme. .-Ne,0 York Express
NEW NoRK, Sept. 30.-The Times WASH
ngton correspondence says Gen. Harvey, in
his official account of his doings at the island
Of San Juan, received at the War Depart

he slightest apprehension of collision with
he British, on account of his occupation of

to proceed to Pekin, to ratify

I-Y The Hon. Alfred Iyerson, one of the
United States Senators from Georgia, has
written letter in which he expresses the
opinion that if tho Southern delegates at
Charleston will unite and be firm, they can
ither force the Northern Democracy to yield
heir demands, or else unite the South upon
candidate of their own. With regard to
senator Douglas he says:
II cannot believe that the Southern De-
nocracy will commit so suicidal an act as to
dopt either Judge Dougas as their candi-
late for the Presidency or his dangerous
POLITICAL heresies. | do not believe that he
n his policy can receive the sanction and
