SLAvE-HUNTING IN MAssCHUETTs.-The
first hearing in behalf of the petitioners was
given. Wednesday morning, before the Com
mittee on Federal Relations, in the hall of the
House of Representatives. The petitions
for a law against slave-huntng in this Com.
monwealth have been received from fifty
towns, and are signed by upwards of seven
thousand names. Rev. Charles Beecher of
Georgetown reviewed the constitutional bear
ings of slavery, placed an anti -slavcry con
struction upon the constitution and upon the
various interpretations given to it till within
recent period But, above all other considera-
tons, the word of God was the supreme con
stitution Of the state, and though it were prov
ed that man had been thousand times a
slave in another state, he ought not to be de-
livered up. Rev. DIR. Murdoch of Boston also
advocated the prevention Of kidnapping from
the vantage ground of the higher law, and
urged the state to repudiate the fugitive slave
act as coming in direct conflict with it. The
committee viii allow second hearing on
Monday next at II o'clock.

A DREAMING My Indiana True
staggers the editors incredulity, and inclines
him TO believe that our dreaming visions are
not all phantoms. He does not seem to be
aware of old Andrew Bakers theory of
dreams, put forth in his work on "The Soul"
This Baxter was more given to metaphysics
and quaint fancies, than his later namesake,
Richard Baxter. Beginning with the position
that motion in matter implies an immaterial
mover outside of it, one of his conclusions is
that dreams are occasioned by spirits, who
come, when we are asleep, and play upon the
brain.
Our Indiana contemporary tells story which
might warrant him in adopting some such the
ory as this He atiirms that he knows the
story to be true, and relates it as fellows =
early in December last, family in this
county had a child Of some five years of age,
which died, and on the next day was buried in
a neighboring graveyard. On the night sue.
ceeding the sepulchre of this child, its mother
had dream in regard to her lost little one
which weighed so heavily on her mind that
she would take no excuse or be put off, but the
grave must be examined and see if the chid's
remains were still there. She had dreamed of
seeing her child taken from the grave, and, al.
though her husband went and looked at the
grave, and told her it looked unchanged from
the time they had left it, still she insisted on
further examination; and finally to satisfy his
wife, and without any faith in the reality of
the dream, the husband, in company with sew
eral neighbors, went to the graveyard, opened
the grave, and then the little coffin, and Judge
of their surprise, all was there except the NOR.
tai remains Of the child. 1t was gone. We
cannot consent to be considered as believers in
dreams, but this is, to US, a most singular case
and we know it to be true"

STATE HosPITALITY.-There have been
during the past week various premonitory
symptoms of legislative visits to this state
similar to those which lately gave so much joy
to the patriots and the hotel keepers in Ohio
The superintendent of the Western railroad
has already rendered the free use of his rails
for that purpose, and the Boston Post gives
'the benefit of its circulation to the rumor
that the proposition will shortly be made to
our own Legislature to extend specific inYl-
tation to the Legislatures and executives OF the
states of Virginia, Maryland, PENNSYLVANIA,
New York and Maine, to visit the city OF Bos-
ton during the current season. Should the
plan be carried out it would be source OF
great regret that Gov. Wise is no longer at
the head of that imperial Commonwealth, 10

would add anything to her dignity or vindl-

walked to where he was, and, whilst looking

skirts Of the saddle upon his riding horse, and
then turned the horse loose, expecting to
create the impression that he had been attack
