Mr.. YANCEY IN BosToN.-Faneuil Hail. Bos-
ton, was thronged on Friday night by masses Of
people anxious to hear Mr.. w. L. Yancey speak
upon the political issues of the day Hundreds
were unable to obtain admission into the build
ing. The speech was not a very lengthy one,
but Judging from the frequent Interruptions and
noisy demonstrations noted in it by the phono-
graphic reporters, we should think that Mr..
Yancey had pretty hard time of it. He COM
menced his remarks by abiding to his long resi-
dence some twenty-seven years ago in the State
of Massachusetts. Under the tuition Of New
England teachers he had imbibed many lessons
he had in after life endeavored to carry out, and
that this circumstance had heightened the plea
sure of his visit on the present occasion. Allud-
ing to the position of the South, of Virginia in
particular, at the TINE of the framing Of the
Constitution, Mr.. Yancey made great point
He urged that at that time Virginia opposed
the continuance of the slave trade-NTassachu-
sets urged its continuance. and demanded to be
secured in its continuation until the year 1903,
and lest she might invest capital largely in the
trade which might be swept away by anamend-
ment to the Constitution, she had guaranty
put into that instrument that the articles should
not be altered even by an amendment Of the
sand slaves We're imported into the country and
Massachusetts,, which was the great shipping
State of that day, made ten millions of dollars,
according to the ordinary rate of interest, would
now amount to thirty millions
Now then, said Mr.. Yancey, you have imposed
upon us a property amounting not only to one
hundred millions of dollars, but to far more than
that. The one hundred thousand slaves you
imposed upon us by that trade, constitutionally
guaranteed to you, amounts to one million Of
|slaves. And every one of that million of slaves
will now sell in the market, on the block, for
an average of one thousand dollars. Cries Of
'sshame" and "good.'] Just think now Of the
millions that are invested by Southern men in
property which was held to be property by your
ancestry, our titles resting now from your an
cestors and traced back to them; and yet the
sons of these men want to take from them their
property by an abolition law. Applause and
cries Of s:good."

Perhaps we should apologize for the large
space of our paper devoted to the consideration
of the new Act of Assembly, for the better regu-
lation of free negroes, and upon which the sense
of the people is to be taken at the coming cleo
tion Our first page this week, is devoted to
communications and opinions on the subject,
and lest we may be supposed to be inclined to
suppress argument in behalf of the law, we may
here say, that we have not seen single attempt
in any Of our exchanges, towards advocating it's
adoption. Our reason for allotting so much space
to it's consideration, is from the fact that we con-
cannot be too fully investigated before voting.
That more stringent system is desired and in
deed necessary, there can be no doubt, but be-
fore taking positive steps in the matter, we can
not take too much time for reflection. No word
from us need be said on the subject, either pro
or con, the articles on our first page handle the
subject much more ably than we can possibly
do. This much, however, since the fact has be-
come established, that it requires majority of
Che aggregate vote, in all the counties, to make
it a law, or defeat it: we are fully of opinion
that the bill will not be sustained by such ma
jority and perhaps all for the better. In the
event therefore of its defeat, and before we have
so much as voted upon it, we would call par
ticular attention to the Goth article of the new
code, in which, if we have correctly read it, will
be found pretty stringent law for the control of
the free negroes of Maryland. if not for the bet
ter control And in calling public attention to-
The existing law of the State we would respect
fully ask, has the law, as it now stands on the
statute book, been enforced, or even partially
enforced? We are sorry that it becomes our
duty to answer this question in the negative.
not be enforced, how can or will new and addi
tional laws be treated In fine, if present law
cannot or will not be enforced, what in the name
of law and order are we going to do with others
Load the statute books and hand them down to
posterity, we suppose. Then if this be the OBJ
ject, in the name of Lindley Murray, let us have
better piece of composition to hand down to
posterity, and not this say-one-thing-and
another bill, as specimen of legislation in this
enlightened period Of 1860.
Let us see the present law carried out, and if
found insufficient, surely the next Legislature
can and will frame more perfect, and it may
be, less Objectionable law upon this subject
Who can say but that the bungling style, in
which this bill is written, was intended by the
projectors to ensure it's defeat

gU@I In Justice to DIR. S. w DENT, we give
place to the following note, which the reader
will perceive explains itself:
Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue Of last week you
report me as one Of the Vice Presidents of the
Democratic meeting, held on Thursday, 4th
instant, in Port Tobacco You are aware, Mr..
Editor that did not take the stand. | was
informed by gentleman that had been made
Vice President, of the Vice Presidents.
was not in the house at the time. and told the
gentleman | should not serve; and supposed
my place had been filled by some ore else.-
With many thanks to my friends for the honor
conferred, declined to serve, for the reason that
| wish no notoriety in politics. Whilst vote
or shall vote, for Breckenridge and Lane, I GER
tainly shall not NEEDLE in the election further
than to vote. Respectfully, yours,

put to such straits. Now as wise mcn they
should decide that they would not place them
selves in opposition where they would have t.
support it by the hal!ot-b,x Now, it was for
them to decide that the civilization and Industry
of the North and South march side by side. and
that the sword should not be thrown into the
scale of the North, as the sword of Brennus was
thrown in when the fate Of Rome trenblcd in
the balance. Give the Southerncrs Slavery. and
they would give the North all her rights. Hands
off. Let them proceed with fair ard gcncr-
Gus rivalry and then the enc that conquered
would deserve the need in industry virtue or
honor-and when they were superior to the
South. in these he would cheerfuy bow to them
The events of the day before in Pennsylvania
weighed heavily upon him, he would acknow-
ledge. He felt that they were mcnaced with the
destruction oft the general prosperity. The Key
stone Of the arch Of the Union was trembling
already, and the great fabric rested for support
upon New York. [Applause.l In her hands
was the decision of the question. more
weighty question was never before them. Every
thing might depend on the vote of New York
That they might be equal to the exigencies Of
this occasion was the prayer of him who now
addressed them, and babe them an aifectionatc
farewell.
When Mr. Yancey concluded three cheers
were given for him.
The New York HoHd in an editorial article
on Mr.. Yancey's address says;
Probably most of those who heard MIR. Yam
cey at the Cooper Institute last evening, whose
speech we give in full elsewhere, were somewhat
unprepared for his general deberateness of ex-
preston and caluness Of manner. He is usual
ly considered to be the representative fre-eater.
However he may justify this repute at home,
there was certainly not much parade Of the de
vouring element" on this occasion. He spoke
like sincere man and genteman-with bold
ness it is true, but with urbanity and dignity
and the general impression which he left upon
his audience was decidedly f. 7orable It was
difficult position for hi,n-his hearers, a miscel-
laneous collection Of Breckenridge men, Douglas
men, Bel. and Everett men; all chilled, and dis
heertened by the three great State defeats of the
day previous, and himself conscious that he was
looked upon by most of them as mischevous
utraist, if not positive enemy of the Union.
1t did not take him long, however, to get the
favorable regard Of the multitude before him !;
and though he failed to warm them up to any
thing like ardent enthusiasm, he yet elected
great deal more sympathy and appreciation than
would naturally have been expected. The truth
is that the great body Of his speech could hard
ly provoke dissent. Mr.. Yancey avowedly
spoke as Southern man and no man Of right
feeling could blame him for any emphasis he
might choose to put upon declaration that his
section would insist upon her constitutional
rights, and ought not and would not be degrad
ed into the condition of an oppressed dependency.
