Sometime since another prisoner escaped under the following circumstances: he was sent over to turn the press of the Sentinel; walked out of the office after finishing his job. and has not been heard of since.

 MT. F. J. Thomas of Birmingham, who has been giving dancing lessons to a class of 32 children in this place. closed his school on Tuesday night. Quite number of the parents and friends of the pupils were in attendance and seemed delighted with the progress the young people had made. Of course some had attained much greater proficiency than others, and per- lection is not to be reached in any case in 12 lessons. we imagine, but to our un- discerning eye various "round" and ''square" dances seemed very creditably performed.

the adoption Of the amendments to the
constitution, which have certainly con-
ferred some new powers upon Congress
cannot, l presume will not, attempt to
| question its constitutionality now.
1t was good Democratic constitutional
law to empower an Unlimited number oil
comparatively irresponsible United States
marshals to use the army and navy of the
| United States to enforce United States laws
when those laws were in the interest of the
Democratic party and now, sir, we wit
ness the remarkable spectacle Of this par
| ty, which conferred such powers upon
these men with no apprehension OF injury
to State governments-with no fears as to
any destruction Of our liberties-with no
doubts as to their entire constitutionality-
now boldly denying that this Congress has
any constitutional right to give the Presi-
dent of the United States power to use the
army and navy, of which he is the consti-
tutional commander in. chief, in protecting
American citizens from outrage and death;
the party who. under the fugitive slave
law, marched United States soldiers over
the very spot where the first martyr for
American liberty shed his blood--and the
blood Of Christopher Attacks was as red as
yours or mine, sir, though his skin was
black
The party who sent their troops over
the spot which his martyrdom had conse-
Grated to force back into slavery one poor
wretch who had succeeded in flying to a
land which he supposed to be land of
liberty-the party that did this act dares
to tell the American people that there is
no constitutional way to use the army or
navy of the United States in protecting
American citizens from outrage and death,
unless the Governor and Legislature of the |
State in which these offences are commit
ted should call for assistance. Sir, have
searched in vain for the call made
by the Governor or Legislature of Mas
sachusetts for troops to assist in the
rendition of Anthony Burns. Every
gentleman on this floor knows that
the United States soldiers sent to that
State by the Democratic party to assist
their blood-hounds 10 tearing from Massa-
chusetts soil that poor, trembling fugitive
were not sent there at the request of that
State, but by virtue of the law passed by
a Democratic Congress, enforced by a
Democratic administration, and interpreted
by a Democratic Encouragement, whose
has been sustained by the
courts and know the American people
we'll enough to know that no legal sophis-
Try can make them believe that it was
constitutional to use the army and the
,avy of the United States in returning fu-
,itives to slavery, but that no constitu-
ional means can be found to use these
agencies for the protection Of life, liberty
ind property of free American citizens in
very State III this Union.
