GEORGE SCIILEY, I\ M.
Saturday Morning;, November 19, 1850.
Largest Circulation in the City!!
BY TELEGRAPH.
Transmitted Expressly for the Daily Morning News
Arrival of tlic Cambria.—Decline In Cotton.
Nkw-Yobk, Nov. 15, 3 P. M. 1
Received in Savannah, 3.15 P. M. J
The Royal mail steamer arrived to-day with Liv-
erpool dates to the 2d instant, being three days later
than the advices bioughtby the Atlantic.
The Liverpool Cotton Market hod experienced a
decline of an eighth (Jd.) The quotations given are
for Fair Upland and Mobile 6even seven-eights (7jd.,)
and for Fair Orleans eight and one-eighth (8}d.)
The sales of the week amounted to 40,000 bales.
ghall the Fugitive Bill be Bepenlod, Resist
ed, or Modifletl ?
It is a well known fact to all who read the Northern
papers of all parties, and watch the proceedings ol
the conventions and public meetings in the tree
States, that the almost unanimous voico of the North-
ern people is in favor of the repeal of the Fugitive
Bill, or of such a modification of its provisions as will
render it inoperative for tho purpose for which it is
framed. Not that it is not sufficiently inoperative now
by force of public opinion there; but they desire
that it may bo inoperative without tho necessity for
its nullification, for which those faithful, order-loving,
law-abiding communities have such mortal aversion.
• The so called Union Party will not deny that this
is the tendencj ot public opinion at the North. They
know that the question there is not whether tho law
shall be sustained or repealed, but whether it shall bo
repealed or modified. No one can doubt that the lat
ter Issue will be made—nor can any one doubt that
the bill will—if Northern votes can accomplish it—
either be stricken from tho statute book or so altered
and changed in its character as to render it utterly
Inefficient for the purposes for which it wus enacted.
Now, in as much as the Union party in their plat
form, have made “ aggressive legislation upon out;,
rights ” in the “ repenl of the Fugitive Slave Law” on
ultimatum, which they will “ resist ” even to the “ (/is
olation of the Union," it becomes a matter of inter
est at this timi to know what distinction they are
disposed to make between "repeal” and modification
of the Bill—between destroying its validity and eras
ing it from the statute books.
We linve no objection to any necessary nn'1 proper
amendments of the bill that has not for its object the
defeat ol the purpose for which it was framed ; bu
we know that alterations—not amendments—arc
contemplated which’, to ot* mind, nre quite, if not
more objectionable than would be the repeal of the
bill itself. Ambug these arc the tallowing, which wo
find mooted in the Northern papers, with a unanim
ity which indicates the settled determination of all
parties to socuro their adoption :
i «t. To apply the statute of limitations so as to de
stroy, to a great extent, the retrospective operation of
the taw.
2d. To give to Fugitives trial by jury in the plnce
where the arrest is made/
3d. To require the General Government to indem
nify slave owners out of the public treasury for all
slaves identified, but which from any cause nre not
recovered.
Now, these amendments we conceive would be
“ aggressive legislation upon our rights,” and should
be resist 'd ns promptly and ns determinedly as the
repeal of the law itself.
Will the endorsers of the so called Union platform
60 regard them 1
‘If ,there is any propriety in laying down the repeal
of the Fugitive Bill as a ground of resistance, the
same reason exists for declaring against obnoxious
amendments known to be canitemplated.. If the con
vention are toconsiderthe probabilities of the first,
they ehould also consider the still greater probabili
ties of the. latter—mid if its action is to ha re refer,
"nee to the one, it Ehould also have reference to the
other.
It is due to the voters of Chatham County that
they should kuow whether their delegates, on either
of the tickets nomisated, will counsel submission to
such amendments, cr any other amendment sp utter
ly violative of the spirit of the law, and “ aggres
sive upo» the rights of tho South.” Will they en
lighten the people or this head V

arc enabled to attain great proficiency in the use of
that "potent instrument,” the pen.

John W. Johnson, Esq:, who recovered it, Captaip
Johnson, niid ins friends with the Statue, were ten

i and on his arrival in Charleston was declared by
Council flic guest of city. The Statue has been
removed from the Southerner apd placed in the City
Hall, whereafter the necessary arrangements have
been made, it will be exhibited to pubjic view. As
we anticipated the agents did not allow this statue to
be placed cn exhibition in New York.
Another I Baltimore Murder.
A row occurred la the drinking saloon of the Front
street Theatre 1n BAltlmore on Monday night last, in
which a young msn by the name of Aloody, was shot
dead and another severely wounded. Several pistols
were fired. Moody who was th e aggressor had been
released from prison only a few days previous, where
he had been confined on the charge of having partici
pated in the murder of Mitchell, a few weeks since.
This is the third murder in Baltimore within as many
weeks. The press of that city is calling for stringent
measures for the suppression of these disgraceful out
rages.
Choleba ik the West Indies.—The Cherokee,
arrived at.NeV-York on Friday,brings distressing ac
counts of the lavages of the cholera at Kingston, Ja
maica, Twenty-five and thirty deaths a day were
reported in Kingston. The epidemic was also unu
sually fatal at fort Royal and St. Catherines. A pas
senger in the Cherokee informs the editor ofthe N.
Y. Post that it the burial ground of Spanishtown, the
seat of Govertment of tho island, twenty-five bodies
were left, during a single day upon the surface of the
ground, it being impossible to induce any one to bury
them. The Governor finally ottered their freedom
to the convicts of tho penitentiary, if they would dis
charge this dangerous oflice for the deceased. Some
of them accep-ed the offler, but the most of those
who did so ditd shortly after of the epidcmic-
Several pbyiicians had died and the sick were suf
feringfor want of medical attendance. It was hoped
that New-York Would send out physiciuns by the re
turn steamer.,
Thedtaeasohad been particularly destructive in the
Lunatic Asylum in Kingston. Out of 140 patients,
27 died in one week. At the first appearance of the
disease the petients lingered usually from twelve to
fifteen hours, but the latter cases frequently proved
fatal, in a quarter of an hour.
Just before the steamer left intelligence was receiv
ed at Kingston that the epidemic had broken out in
the 27th regiment, stationed at New Castle, about
eight miles from Kingston, in the mountains, and
that fourteen cases had proved fatal. The camp is
about 4,000 fret above the level of the sea, and was
selected for its heajtbinesa and coolness—the tempe
rature varying from 70 to 80 deg. of Fnhrenheit in
the warmestseason It was supposed that the tirng
of artillery might affect the utmosphere favorably,
and all the vessels of war in the harbor of Kingston
were kept firing all one day, but without any effect.
It was proposed, the day the steamer left, to fumi
gate Kingston, by kindling fires in each street. This
was undoubtedly dune, with what effect we shall
not learn till the arrival of the uext steamer.
The disens» is spreading over the island. and car
ries with it terror and distress.
Advance in Cotton Goons.—The providencp
Post, of Friday last says:
“Sheetings, Shirtings, Jeon-, &e, nre held with the
great firmness, at an improvement of} a }c. from
the prices ot a lew weeks ago, and some descrip
tions have been sold ot full }c. advance on the low
est enles of the season. Printing Cloths are held
firmly at an improvement of }u}c., but the trnnsac-
tions have been light, buyers and sellers not hein"
able to get together. We notice sales of Gl)xb8, ex-
tea. at 5} ; 60x64 good, 4}; 56x60, 4}. At tho close,
good 60x64’s are generally held at 5c., and 4} offered
freely.”
Lewis, Del., Nov. 10,9 P. Al.—Sumo pilots from
Philadelphia landed this evening, and report having
seen a large vessel ashore on Joe Flogger, with casks
of wineand boxes of raisins tlontingnbout her. They
saw no person on board, and think that all hands
must have been lost. The vessel was breaking up.
The gale on Thursday night, and the whole of
Friday, was unusually severe, by which several ves

Letter from the President.
We received liy last night’s Western Mail an extra
from the office of tho Georgia Citizen, containing the
following communication from the acting Secretary
of State to Mr. Collins, of Macon. The letter is pre
faced by n paragraph ot editorial laudation of the
President, for what tho editor of the Citiiin Calls
“this noble and frank expression of opinion, in favor
of the prompt and faithful execution of the laws and
constitution entrusted to ilia keeping.”
For our own part we can find nothing in the letter
to justify the editor’s encomiums. On the contrary
wo regard it, under the circumstances, as anything
but satisfactory. It is a piece of special pleading, un.
becoming tho Chief Magistrate of this Union, und so
far from affording the South any assurance of an en
forcement of the law in our behalf, by its tone is cal :
oulated to aggravate rather than allay the just indig-
tmtionof our people at the outrages and wrongs
which are daily perpetrated against our rights. But
we have no apace or time for comment, and we-sub-
mit the document to the consideration of ourreuders
Department of State, )
Washington, November 9th, 1850. )
Robert Collins, Macon, Ga. :
Sir;—1 inn instructed by the President to inform
you thatyour letter of the 2d inst., addressed to him,
enclosing several slips from newspapers, in refer
ence to the proceedings of a portion of the communi
ty in Boston, on the subject of the Fugitive Slave
Law, was received by him yesterday, and that he has
given to the letter and its enclosures, a careful peru
sal.
You state, in substance, that you are the owner of
Crafts one of the Fugitive Slaves ior which warrants
of arrest were issued ill Boston, and call the Presi
dent’s attention to the enclosed slips taken mostly
from Northern papers, by which lie will perceive the
manner in which your agi nts were received and
treated for merely asking that the slaves be returned
according to tne Lawsul tho United States. That
they have been arrested under various warrants, as
kidnappers, and on other frivolous pretences, and
unreasonable bail demanded; nnd that your friends
have become their sureties for more than lji20J)00.
You also f ay, tllnt the manner in which the ollicers
have performed their duty will appear by the slips;
nnd that tho warrants now lie dead iu tho Aiarshul’s
office. You then speak of the pernicious effect of
such proceedings, and of their tendency to disturb
the harmony of the Union, am of the great impor
tance of having thelaw frith fully executed; uud,final
ly, inquire “whether it is not in the power, and is not
tUu intention of the Executive of the United States to
cause that law to be faithfully find properly enforc
ed 1"
To this the President directs me to reply, that you
cannot be more deeply impressed than he is, with tile
importance of having every law faithfully executed.
Every statute, in this country, praiedin nccordunce
with the provisions of the comti.ution, must be pre
sumed to embody the will of a majority of people of
the Union; and ns such, isentitled to the respect and
obedience ot every true American citizen; nnd the
constitution which the President lies sworn to sup
port has made it his especial duty "to take care that
the laws be faithfully executed.” He haa no thought
of shrinking from his duty, in this or any other case;
but Will, to the utmost of his ability, firmly aud faith
fully perform it.
But how is ho to cause the lnw to be executed?
First, by appointing proper officers to till tbe va
rious oiliccs nnd discharge their various functions
with diligence nnd fidelity; and if any Bhnll be found
incompetent or unfaithful, by removing them, where
he has tho power of removal, — and appointing
more competent and faithful officers in their places.
And secondly, in extreme eases, "whenever the laws
ot the United States shall be opposed, or the execu
tion thereof ol structed, in any State, by combinations
too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary cours
of judicial proceedings,” or bj the power vested
in the civil officers with the posse which the law
authorizes and requires them to call to their aid, it
would be his duty to call fourth the militia, nnd use
the army and navy for the purpose of overcoming
such forcible combinations against the laws. But, in
either case, prudence and justice require that there
should be more satisfactory evidence of official de
linquency, or forcible resistance, than mere rumor,
or newspaper statements ; aud yet these are all
which have been-furnished in this case
If any MnreUnl neglect to perform his duty, the
law gives a right of action to the aggrieved party for
the injury which he may sustain ; aud if he refuse to
perform it. the statute has imposed upon him a se
vere penalty. But if he refuse or wilfully neglect
to perform it when this shall be satisfactorily made
to appear to the President, then, in addition his lia
bility to the aggrieved party, it would doubtless be
the duty of the Executive to removehim from office,
and appoint another in his place. But your letter
contains on proof of the kind, and therefore seems to
require on action. It is equally clear that no case is
presented justifying H call upon the militia, or tho
use of the army to execute the laws ; and tho Presi
dent haa so much confidence to the patriotism nnd
devotion to the laws which have always characterised
a large majority of the people ot Boston, that lie
cannot for a moment believe that it will ever be ne-
cessray to call in nny extraordinary aid to execute
the laws, in that community.
Individuals may become excited, and mny in the
heat of the moment, offer resistance to the laws, hut
he has no -ioubtthat in such event, somuch to bo re
gretted, that the good sense of tho community would
soon rally tn the support of the civil authorities, and
that those who sustain the law would trumpli: but
he directs mo to nssure you, that if, unfortunately
he shall find himself mistaken in this, nnd the painful
necessity should arise, he is resolved to perform his
duty by emplojfing all the means which the Con
stitution and Congress have placed at his disposal, to
enforce the law.
As to the complaint that your agents were unjust
ly prosccutad, and held to bail in unreasonable
amounts, for pretended offences, the President di
rects mo to say, that however he may regret any
such injustice and incivility, he is not aware that l»e
has tile power to remedy the evil. If tile complaints
against your Agents be unfounded, the defendents
will doubtless be acquitted, and if malicious, they
have their remedy in nil action for a malarious pros
ecution, But nil these are judical questions over
which . the Executive can exercise no control,
and the evil complained of, results from tho ncknovvl-
e Igt'd right of every individual to prosecute any
one for an alleged offence or violation of right.
The President feels the importance of avoiding
as far as practicable, all causes of irritation between
the North and the South, and especially on the excit
ing subject of Slavery. Were he permitted to ad
vise, liewould suggest to all, the importance of'per
mitting the Taws to take their usual course; and that
every thing like intimidation and illegal or unjust an
noyance, should be scrupulously avoided. Every ef
fort should lie made to cultivate a fraternal feeling.—
\Vn should bn a people of ono interests nndonesen-
t ment, knowing no local division, and tolerating no
sectional injustice. Our Union, so dear to the.heart
of every true American, can only bn preserved by a
strict observance of the Constitution, nnd fin impar
tial administration of the laws
I am. Sir, respectfully.
Your obedient servant,
W. 8, DERRICK, Acting Secretary.

at a slight'advance, but holders were not disposed
sell on Saturdny, and the sales were limited to3
bales. On Monday our market was somewhat euis
inconsequence of a reported decline in theNe

demand, which resulted in large sales and on sou
of tbe grades, holders submitted to a decline of an
