The FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW AND OUR PoIrcE.-
New York, which owes its great commercial
prosperity to its dealings with all sections of
the Union, has always been remarkable for its
conservatism and devotion to national princi.
pies. 1t has never INDUCED in riot aud blood
shed, like Boston and other cities, in opposition
to the administration of the Fugitive Slave law.
and case has just occurred which shows that
the laws Of the land are respected and carried
out in this metropolis. A negro who avowed
himself fugitive slave was taken into custody
by policeman and locked up until the federal
authorities could investigate the case. Upon
the matter being brought before the Metropo-
Titan Police Commissioners an attempt was
made to pass resolution denying the right of
q policeman to arrest fugitive slave; but the
national conservative members OF the commits
sion-Mayor Wood, Mayor Powell and Judge
Ulshoeffer properly conceiving that it is the
duty of the police to arrest all fugiives from
justice, successfully opposed the resolution.
This fact will do almost as much as the cleo
ton of Mayor Wood to assure the South that
the city of New York is essentially national,
and is determined to uphold the laws and re-
spectNhe rights of all sections of the country.

A PRECEDENT FOR THE AUTHORITIES OF LAW.
RENcE-The Coroner's jury now investigating
the fearful slaughter at the Pemberton Mills in
Lawrence have responsible duty to perform,
and the eyes of the whole country are upon
them at this moment expecting that this duty
will be faithfully performed, even in the face of
capital and wealth. Every city and town in
the Union has deep interest in the result of
this investigation, and the public look anxious.
ly to the Coroners jury to render such YER
dict as may make the constructors of buildings
and the employers Of large masses of opera
tives more cautious in recklessly exposing the
lives of their fellow beings. In the town of
Lawrence itself, as well as in other manufac.
turing districts, there are no doubt many build
iDgs in as unsafe q condition as the Pemberton
Mills; and proper verdict, followed by prompt
legal action on the part of the authorities, may
have salutary effect upon the proprietors
thereof.
Meantime We Will cite precedent for the
Lawrence jury: In the city of Belfast, in Ire
land, o large manufacturing town, similar
catastrophe occurred some time ago, though
happily with less fatal result in point Of mum.
bers. leading lawyer-Mr. John Rea-took
up the cause Of the poor families of the killed
and wounded operatives, and laid the case be-
fore the Grand Jury. The community laughed
at the idea of lawyer, single handed, attempt
ing to bring rich corporation to justice; but
be perseyered, nevertheless, and the result was
that the proprietors Of the mill were not only
indicted for manslaughter, but were convict
ed, and sentenced 70 transportation for life.
Massachusetts, venerates the laws of Great
Britain; here is a precedent that the jury and
authorities Of Lawrence -;gh. follow to some
good purpose.

poleoD, and will not send representative to
the Congress till the French Emperor has repu-
dated the late pamphlet, which is evidently the
work OF bis inspiration. The Pontif will pro-
badly think better of it on cool reflection. For
what can he dos Napoleon will not allow any
other Power to interfere in Italy, and if he
wiihdraws his troops, then even "the Eternal
City" will not be left to Plus Ninth, but he will
he driven from 1t. as he was before in 1S49
He owes his restoration to the will of France
and his throne rests on French bayonets, as
his predecessor owed his restoration to the
arms of the "schismatic' Powers -Eugland,
Prussia and Russia. These Powers are changed
in their opinion as to the policy of continuing
the temporal sovereignty Of the Pope, and
will follow the lead of Napoleon. The En-
peror of Russia in particular will be glad
TO see the temporal empire of his Holiness re-
dnced to the Darrowest dimensions, for the
bead of the Greek Church wants no ecclesi-
astical rival in Europe. The time is gone by
when the Catholics of Europe will sustain the
Pope in any appeal to religious fanaicism.
They have no longer any relish for fighting for
despotism, temporal or spiritual, and their
motto henceforth is-"Render unto Caesar the
things which are Casar's and unto God the
things which are Gods" They want to see
the altar divorced from the throne, and stand
upon "the Rock of Ages" on which it was built
by the founder of the Christian religion. Thus
it will become greater power than the throne,
whereas hitherto 1t has been made subservient
to the throne, and the football of kings.
The eyes of the people of all Europe are
fixed upon this Congress. Upon it hangs the
decision of great principle, involving the
liberties and the hopes of humanity. But the
eyes of the American people ought also to be
directed to Paris. They have deep concern
in the proceedings, not only as regards the
progress of freedom, but in reference to their
own interests. The question of the maritime
rights of neutrals in war will be discussed
and settled in the Congress, and it is important
for our government to see that the settlement
shall not prejudice American rights, and that
no combination Of crowned heads shall be
formed against the commercial progress of our
great republic.

WITHDRAWAL OF THE SOUTHERN TRADE FROM
New YoRK.-The recent panic among city
merchants engaged in the Southern trade, and
the remarks of the HERALD on the subject
have, as matter Of course, stirred up the
black republican journals to the repetition of
their old game-abusing the defendants coun-
sci and maligning us. The poets of the Post
only have ventured to bring facts into the ar
gument. But, however fine these rhymers may
be at versifcation, statistics are not in their
way. They claim to have ascertained that
the Southern custom has not fallen off
from the principal hotels, and they
back up this assertion with the state
ments Of the hotel keepers, who certainly
would not be liable to give their establishments
a bad name. Nevertheless, it appears, by the
Posts own showing, that the business of two
Of the largest hotels has fallen OF when com.
pared with that of last year at this time. Aud
if the factious and reasonable minority in Con-
gress should succeed in their attempts TO force
John Sherman, who endorsed the infamous
Helper book, into the Speakers chair, the
wholesale merchants, retail traders and hotel
keepers will find next summer many good
Southern customers name missing from their
books. This is the truth, and II is idle to at
tempt to conceal or deny it. Already, in seve-
raj of the Southern States clubs have been es-
tab!ished, the members Of which pledge them

his predecessors, and, as appears from the
Comptroller's accounts, without any extraordi-
nary expenditure over previous years. The
total cost Of street cleaning for the three past
years was:-For 1857, s296, O99; for 1865, $685.
3o3, and for 1859, s32s,43s. During the first
six months of 1859 the expenditure was less
than for the same periods in 1857 and SO, re-
spectively, by sls,3s3 and sll,2s7, but during
the last months Of the past year the outlay
showed an excess over that period in the two
other years, the result of which increase how
ever, was manifested by clearly condition Of
the streets such as New York never had before.

In the meantime, the amount of the subscrip-
tons for the relief of the sufferers swells dag
by day, and the prospect is that the fund WIN
be very large one.
We take occasion once more to refer to the
lesson taught by the calamity above referred
to, and to insist that the responsibility of it
shall be put where it belongs-upon the
wealthy Boston philanthropists, who, to save
quarter of cent in the pound of iron, cause
over five hundred persons, white slaves of the
North, to be killed, manned or wounded. And
we say further, that the owners of mills now
standing will do well to see to the
safety of their operatives before they
throw away any more of their heaven
born sympathy upon the black slaves
of the South, or expend any more of their mo
ney to circulate Helpers book, or to elect
Sherman Speaker of the House.
As we predicted there have been found some
journals in Massachusetts, ready to apologize
for the Lawrence manufacturers One Boston
newspaper, after pelting us at random with
such epithets as "coldblooded," "diabolical,"
malicious, y Satanic &C., favors us with
sample of New England ethics such as we
never could have dreamt of in our philosophy.
Here it is
The simple answer tothe reckless and impoent mon
daciy and malice Of the HERALD is that in this city ths
Of ten thousand dollars raised in two days
the relief Of the unfortunate victims Of the Lawrence
tastrophe.
Really, this is very consoling. So logical,
too! The premises indisputable, and the con-
clusion most obvious! Ten thousand dollars
subscribed on the spot What right have two
or three hundred widows and orphans to she'd
a single tear? Ten thousand dollars should fall
like the gentle dews of heaven on the poignsn-
cy of their grief, make them forget at once
their bitterest bereavement, convert their signs
and lamentations into hymns of praise and
thanksgiving, and send them in body to the
nearest tabernacle, to pray for ten thousand
blessings on the heads of their benefactors!
This philosopher thinks that our just indig-
nation at the massacre has been caused by the
feeble support which the HERALD has of late
received in New England. The fact is that we
have more readers in Massachusetts, and Con-
necticut than in any other two States of the
Union outside of New York; and as the popu-
alton Of the Metropolitan Police district, where
this journal is printed, is somewhat larger
than that Of Massachusetts, and as we are pretty
well supported in the metropolis, it would not
break our heart or ruin OUT business if we had
no Eastern support whatever.

The John Brown raid had not yet had time
to act upon the black republican ranks, but it
produced an immediate effect on the conserva-
tive vote, bringing out in round numbers,
$4,000 against the fanatics. Since that time the
operation Of the bloody designs of the black
republicans upon their followers is strongly
marked. In the commercial circles of this city
the number of known and influential merchants
and manufacturers that openly come out and
abjure their former connection with the repub.
licans is subject of constant remark This
fact has brought Mr. Sherman, the black repub.
lican candidate for Speaker, to the point of
abjuring his endorsement of the cutthroat
teachings Of Helper, on certain conditions.
But Mr.. Sherman, in making the demand for
these conditions destroys the very effect he
hopes to produce by his purgation for he shows
that he does it as compromise and
man convinced against his will

man for Speaker, let Haskin's pistol drop once
or twice more on the floor of Congress during
heated debate, and let Hickman talk
little more about conquering the South with a
handful of men, and the whole conservative
sentiment Of the North will rise against the
abolitionized republicans, and settle their fate
forever as party.

pcudu VI tue representation 10 the National
Convention from this metropolis.
The truth il, that. if the Charleston Conyen-
ton did exactly right, they would refuse to re-
ceive into their body any delegates whatever
from New York. Why should they? New York
has been the bane, curse and scourge of the
democratic party for nearly fourteen years
It's history is identical with all of the evils that
have befallen the democracy during that
democratic leaders have, invariably, tended to
react mischievously upon national politics,
and they will continue to do 80. The Wood
delegation to Charleston is in many respects
very illadvisedly made up, and that of the Re-
gency is SO anti-national in it's antecedents as
to be deserving Of no respect or notice. They
60 to the Convention to cheat somebody and
to drive the hardest possible bargain with who
ever they finally support. The difference of
the price Of the wiseDonnelly letter would be
sufficient to induce them to shovel Dickinson
overheard in favor Of Seymour, or uice rersa,
or to straDgle them both for the benefit of
somebody else. Let them all be sent home.
The candidate Of the Charleston Convention
will, as result Of the tremendous reaction
that is taking place at the North in favor of
national sentiments, inevitably be elected, and
neither the threats nor the promises Of the
Atlas and argus are Of the slightest moment;
nor can they prevent the masses of voters in
the State of New York from doing their duty,
even N they were able to bargain away their
entire proHigate faction to William II. Seward.

Association, In Independence Hall, was entered

things therein. The public documents were de-
stroyed-the book containing the record Of the
proceedings and the names Of the members of the
association was defaced by emptying the ink bot
lie over the pages large number Of photo
the North, and which were for sale to the faithful
were torn in pieces. The cap and cape which
was adopted on Saturday night az the Equipment
OF Wide Awake, and an american Dag with the
names Of Lincoln and Hamlin painted on the
stripes were torn into shreds. Ali the mischief
which could be possibly done was done when the
parties left, carrying with them portion of the
public documents, and strewing them on the stains
