Fugitive Slave Lawr inoperative.
By the return of our fellow-townsman, VV. H.
Hcgiies, Esq., we have a testimonial, from a
gentleman whose veracity is above impeach
ment, of the beautiful Government farce now
being acted upon the Northern stage. Mr. Fit.*
more has wisely consented to be suneshifter
for his Northern brethren, and some of those
who have to pay the piper really think it a treat
to read such a letter as was written by the Pres
ident's Secretary to Dr Collins. For our part,
we sincerely think that the patience and com
mon sense of Southern people have become tor
pid if they quietly succumb to this climax of
injury, offered as a palliation for the euormities
committed by the Bostonians, and enumerated
at length in
MB- HUGHES’ STATEMENT.
I arrived in Boston on Saturday, the 19th of
October, and kept concealed in my room, until
Monday the 21st. During this time, I ascertain,
ed that Bill and Ellen had not left Boston as
had been reported I then called to see Mr.
Shewers, (an Attorney to whom I had a letter
from Mr. Fay, of Savannah ) He was absent
from town and I did not see him. On the next
day I called on Judge Levi Woodbury, and sta
ted that I wanted a warrant for the arrest of two
fugitive slaves. He stated that he was not the
propsr person to issue it. I asked him to tell me
who was the proper person to issue such war
rants. He stated, we would recommend me to
goto Mr. Lunt, U. S. District Attorney. I call'
ed on Mr. Lunt, who stated that he had agreed
to lake a case of this kind before, and that it was
an unpleasant business and created a great deal
of excitement, and he would not take another
case of the kind. lam inclined to think this
statement of Mr Lunt a mere pretext to evade
responsibility. I was unable to learn that there
was any such case ever in existence. I asked
him to inform me who was the proper person to
apply to. He recommended me to Mr. Benjamin
F. Hallett, U. S Commissioner. IcalledatMr.
H's office and he was not at home. I then
called at 11 o'clock at night, at his residence and
stated to him my business, and asked him for a
warrant—saying that if I could get a warrant I
could have the negroes arrested. He said the
lam did not authorize a warrant to be issued
that it was my duty to go and arrest the negro
without a warrant and bring him before him. I
stated to him that this was requiring an impos
sibility under the state of things, and that that
was not my construction of the law, and showed
him a copy of the law.
After looking at the law, he said he would
consider of it, and give me an answer next
morning at 9 o’clock. I applied next day at 9
o'clock. He then slated he had considered of it,
and that it was not his business to advise me
what course to lake. But if I would make out
my charges in a legal form and come before him
lie would hear me. I then went to Mr. Thayer
(a merchant, to whom I had a letter,) I told Mr.
Thayer I wanted an Attorney. He got a friend
who went to see Mr. Selli J. Thomas, an attor
ney, who agjeed to take charge ofitie case. Mr.
Thomas was engaged and called on Judge
Sprague for a warrant. This Judge equivocated
and shullled like the others had done.
He then called on Mr.Curtis, a United States’
Commissioner. He wanted time like the others,
to consider, and requested us to call at 4 o’clock,
P. M. which we did, and he then stated that
they had agreed to have a meeting of the six
Commissioners and the two Judges, namely
Woodbury aft'd Sprague, that night. They held
that meeting and decided that the Judges slionld
hear my complaint next morning in Chambers.
1 was then required to go into Court and make
my complaint, when they ordered the warrnnt
to he issued in open Court, which the Clerk did.
By this time it was known all over Boston, that
the warrant was issued, and who for, and who
applied for it About the time the warrant was
issued, a man, apparently of respectability and
influence, was on a dry goods box speaking to
(he crowd—advising the negroes and their
friends to arm themselves with Bowie knives,
pistols and dirks, and resist the law onto death
that if it was a law of the United States, it
was in direct violation of the law of God, and
might to he resisted at all hazards, and advised
them to shoot down all slave catchers from the
South
The warrant was then planed in the Marshal 's
hands—l told him I was ready to go and point
out the negroes to him. lie said that tlirje was
a question whether he could break the door op
Bill’s shop, where he understood he was, locked
up. He took the balance of that day to settle
that question. I called next morning and told
him 1 was again ready to go. lie then said it
was reported that Hill, (whom he called Mr.
Crafts,) had left town, and he had a man on the
look out, and we must wait for him to report.—
I also had a man on llio same business. I call,
cd on the Marshal again in the afternoon. He
said his man reported that Rill was not there.
1 then stated that my man reported that Bill was
there. He said my man was mistaken, for his
roan was reliable and conld not be mistaken.
The next day my Attorney went to see the
Marshal, who stated to him that he was ready to
go with ma alone. I immediately went to him
and prnpnsed to proceed at once. He then said
it was a difficult matter, and he would have to
get a large force, some twenty or thirty men.—
He had made this same excuse before. At din
ner time, this day, my eighth day in Boston, Mr.
Knight and myself were both arrested, under a
bail writ in the penalty off 10,000 for slandering
Crafts, alledging that we had charged him with
stealing his body and clothes. This consumed
the balance of this day.
On the Monday following,we were both again
arrested under bail ofs|o,ooo each, for damag
ing “one William Crafts’’ in his business. The
excitement kept increasing. We were then car
tied to the Sheriff's office. By the time we
gave bond, the sidewalks were crowded with
Abolitionists, negroes. &c. The account given
°f the carriage scene from the Sheriff's office,
as given by the Chronotypc, Daily Mail, Pos t
and Journal of that city, is correct. We then
'vent to the Hotel to tea. About tea time, we
"or* both again arrested for slendering Ellen
r ’af«, and held to hail fw s2o,r>oft each.
W hen arrested the Sheriff told me I must go
with him to his office and give nbod—l told him
I could give bond, at my Hotel by sending for my
securities—that iff wentto his office it would col.
lent the ittob again,arid that they had already in
tuited me ns much as I could bear,and 1 wanted
to avoid n recurrence of similar contact. The
Sheriff however, still persisted afid required me
to go. \Ve started but soon met itiy lawyer,who
said that one of my seeurites wag on his
way, and told the Sheriff that we should not go
to his office, as the bond could be given sooner
by not going. The Bond was then given for
$20,000.
The next day, I learned that the mob had col
lected the night before ut the Sheriff's office, as I
had suppossed, and that among other things said
and done there,while they were on the look out
for me, a negro was there on horse*back charg
ing and swearing,that he would be the first man
to shoot Hughes when he made bis appearance.
On the same day, I went to seethe Marshal if
he had got futher information. He said lie had
not-
My attorney then advised me to goto N. York
for a few days, for the purpose ofallaying the ex.
citement, which had become too furious be
thought to admit any success I prepared to leave
that evening, which becoming public, a large
crowd collected at my hotel for the purpose of
insulting me. I therefore concluded not to go
that evening. Before 6 o’clock next morning,
when 1 expected to leave, they were around the
house agatn in great numbers, with the Rev.
Theodore Parker at their head, knocking for
admittance at my door. 1 admitted Mr. Parker
He said he had come to give me a piece of friend,
ly advice—that he had kept the mob off of me
for two days, and was afraid he could not do it
any longer. I told him that I understood he was
a minister of the gospel and a great advocate of
morals—in favor of people's obeying the laws—
but was sorry to find myself mistaken, and want
ed him to leave—that I was nut going to leave
under any such threats, and that 1 was deter
mined not logo then, the crowd dispersed short*
ly afterwards, and after transacting some busi*
ness, I left at 2 o'clock, P. M. for New York.
After being in New York for several days, 1
learned that Bill and Ellen had positively left
for England.
There were five warrants (besides the cases
named) issued against me, all for the purpose
of harrusiug me and driving me away.—One for
“smoking in the streets”—one “for swearing in
the streets”—(which was not the fact,) —on e
“for carrying concealed weapons”—one for
“driving fast through the streets”—and another
“for passing Cambridge Bridge without paying
toll,” (which was not true )
So far as 1 had any dealings with those who
thus endeavored to obstruct the law and harras
me, or had a chance of ascertaining their posi
tion, 1 would say, that they were of the highest
standing, socially and politically in the conimu*
nity. As an instance, Francis Jackson who re
fused to take Knight's hand, was a candidate for
Congress ; Mr. Charles Sumner one of the U.S
Commissioners; Rev. Theodore Parker; Mr'
List an eminent lawer; Dr. Hanson ; Rev. Dr.
Channing; Mr Charles Bowdige and others)
who interested themselves in preventing us from
arresting Crafts are all abolitionists. As to the
friends we found in Boston, 1 found Mr. Hamil
ton Willis (a broker) a true friend and feel un
der obligations to him. There were also Mr
Thayer; Mr. Thomas my attorney ; Mr. Patrick
Riley, one of the Deputy Marshals; Mr. D
Draper; Mr. Freeman a Deputy Sheriff; the
Proprietors of the United States Hotel, their
Clerks and Servants, and Mr. Ladd. To all
these gentlemen, 1 am under great obligations
for their kindness.
In refcrrence to the abolition sentiment in
Boston, I would state this circumstance. Al 1
the lime the excitement was going on with me,
there was no protection of the city authorities
offered me, and none turned out in my favor.—
But when George Thompson, the English abo
lition Lecturer w as expected and a meeting was
announced to receive him, it was rumored that
a mob might assemble on his reception, and the
Mayor instantly ordered out the city officers to
attend suppress any mob —showing thatthe city
authorities were disposed to give prelection to an
abolitionist, which they had withheld from me
while engaged in my lawful business; and my
opinion is, if we had succeeded in arresting the
negroes, that they would have been rescued by
the citizens.
In conclusion—to give a full history of my
visit toßoston would occupy too much lime and
patience. I will therefore, conclude by saying
that; f went to Boston as an agent to execute a
fawful trust, thinking I should be protected and
assisted by the laws of my country But on the
contrary, from the fiist, the laws of the country,
instead of proving a proterlion,were made an en
gine of cruelly, oppression, injustice and abuse ;
so that my life was constantly endangered ; and
this wiihout the first offer ofassistancefrom Gov
ernment, national, Slate or city. 1 feci that
every man who has a Southern heart in his
bosom, and would maintain the honor of his
country, should sustain the Southern ltighl ß
cause, by every Constitutional measure, until
our rights are acknowledged and justice obtain

Firf.s.—A fire occurred in Charleston on th e

[for the soothers tribune]
Let Georgia .Hove.
The great trill of the Southern people, which
has been so long agitated and undetermined by
conflicting emotions, has at length began to as
sume definite and determinate form—and from
amidst these convulsive elements of agitation
the light us truth has shown to the people the
absolute necessity of some positive demonstra
tion to the North of a determined opposition to
further aggressions upon ottr right* and liberties,
to which they are urged by political and famti-
cal insanity. The people have at length openfed
their eyes to the hollow, shallow and unpatriotic
fcry of submission or disunion os the only alter
natives—they perceive it is the banner cry of
many heterogeneous elements in the same ranks
—affiliated by accidental circumstances, and of
such dissimilar affinities that even temporary
success cannot give them adhesiveness. They
find political speculators, whose desire for self
aggrandizement Would induce them to sell their
souls, their friends, their country and their God
toobtain success—Again they find many who
honestly believe there is no resistance short of
disunion, atid prefer submission under existing
conditions, because ofgreat aversion to all dis
urbing causes—among these we have many who
entertain for their country a deep and abiding
love, and who, if they could see the necessity for
action would be foremost in the call,—as an ex
cuse we allow them that honest difference of
opinion which will obtain, and on the most un
■mportant matters, —but the time is near at hand
when will awake those who have been deluded,
as well as those who have taken counsel of their
fears—And again there are those who have taken
advantage of the leadership of some Southern
politicians, are thus enabled to indulge their real
sentiments and nre induced to give aid, comfort
and countenance to the enemy. Many of those
who honestly believe there is no alternative
save disunion, have only to be convinced that
the assertion is a mere political artifice to blind
the masses, and they will immediately array
themselves on the side of their country and of
Southern rights.
There is now plainly perceptible, a policy
which like a great spirit, is gradually yet rapidly
spreading itselfover the face of the country, and
every day brings intelligence from every quarter
of the Southern States, that the doctrine of non
intercourse in trade will soon bn universally
adopted in the South, and that it only now needs
unity of action, to make it at once as potent as
the lever of Archimides. No man who is not
wilfully blind, can shut his eyes to the truth,
that it has even now made a deep and abiding
improssion upon some of the great commercial
cities of the North—and her merchants so long
r enowned for sagacious and deep-sighted knowl
edge in mercantile matters have already seen
the fearfully ruinous consequences which the
policy of non-intercourse would have upon their
trade. And it has by their own declarations,
been the cause of the first demonstrations in
behalf of the South, which the North lias ever
made, and this by the men who at the same time
declared their invincible ablisrrenen of the laws
which call forth this necessity. You have al
ready been told by tlioso (who for commercial
and political sagacity are second to none in the
Government,) if the South should carry out this
policy, that grass would grow in the streets of
New York, and that thousands and thousands
within the tolling of a single bell would be turn
ed out to starvation and ruin. The light is be
fore and around us, and he is blind indeed who
will not see. Eet us form Associations in every
county in the Stale, and in every State in the
South, and in hut a short time we will form a
bond of Union, which will he absolutely irresisti.
ble. This policy hut a short time since, was
looked upon as untenable indeed, and passing
strange, has now forced itself upon the attention
of the people by its inherent excellence until it
has become the grand and prominent feature to
nrrest Northern aggression. And it really seems
to me any one having the principles of Southern
rights nt heart, could not well refuse its advocacy
particularly when no other alternative presents
itself but submission. We should then not only
advocate voluntary non-intercourse, but should
assert, bind and enforce it, by all constitutional
legislative enactments. This matter should he
well deliberated upon by the Convention. Let
the Convention meet and declare the State R ights
sovereignty ofGeorgia to be a foundation stone
on which all their deliberations shall rest—let
them recommend to the Legislature to impose a
discrimination tax upon all Northern goods
brought into the State—let the tax bo so high as
either to exclude entirely or greatly to cripple
their profits and trade of Northern interests—the
latter would be besl at present, and should re
main ill f.irco as long as necessary to effect ou r
object. Let the Convention recommend also
the imposition of a tax upon all goods brought
in or conveyed away in a Northern vessel—Let
jtrecomuiend such legislation as will develope
rapidly and surely our internal resources—and
toencourago home manufactures by relieving
invested capital from all taxation for a series of
years—Letthem offer a bounty on different kinds
of produce and premiums on different kinds of
manufactured articles—Let them recommend to
t be Legislature to appoint Commissioners and
empower them properly to effect immediate and
direct trade between our Southern ports and
Europa. This is the proper general policy, and
would effect in weeks what armies could not
accomplish in years.
Towards all those States which refuse to de
liver up our fugitive slaves, or obstruct the law,
let the State authorize retaliatory measures—Let
them exelude the goods of such States entirely,
seize on all their vessels coming into our ports,
audsell them and cargo to the satisfaction of all
justly established demands for fugitive slaves—
stop the collection of all debts due those States
by our citizens, and by all and every lawful en
actment thus paralyze their trade and interests-
If any one should say, these last measures
which you call retaliatory , are unlawful, I reply
so is resisting the Fugitive Slave law, and the
mobbingof our citizens, who seek to regain their
rightful property by lawful means. If you say
they are revolutionary and will bring an army
upon us, l reply you arc neither ready nor willing
to march on Massachusetts in defence of your
property —Are you willing to allow them more
courage, manliness and independence than
yourselves—if so, you have well selected the
banner of Submission.
Let this system of non-inttrcoiir*e be adopted
by Georgia and invite our sister Southern States
in Convention, or otherwise to unite in this
policy and the South will not only be able to
resist all fuluro aggressions, but she will soon
bloom with prosperity, save her honor and pre
serve this Union. ALPHA
[FOR ttfx SOUTHERN - TRIBUNE.]
The Crisis,
Will the politicians at Washington, lias pass
ed fnr the present, and the divisions and huck
steriig propensities of some of the Southern
Deltgates for office and distinction, have despoil
ed tie South of her Territorial fights, deprived
her if her equality and reduced Iter to a minori
ty And now comes on the crisis in Georgia,
between those Imckstering politicians, and the
peoale. They, the politicians knowing what
they would have to meet, set their strikers in
motion long ago, who influencing those who
have not the firmness or the faithfulness to look
full in the face the condition of the country and
the tendency of the government, under its pre
sent auspices, have marshalled themselves in
opposition to those of the people who remon
strated against the Clay Compromise, and to the
able,manly, patriotic Senator J.M. Berries,
and his followers, who faithful to their trusts,
had nobly batt'ed in Congress for the rights of
the South. Now comes the struggle, fellow
citizens, let them not deceive you by the false
issue of Union and Disunion. You arc contend
ing with the politicians of the present day, who
nsvermeet the issue fairly ; but always seek to
take a position which they think public opinion
wlil favor. All this time they try to make the
people believe that those who have risen up in
defence ofSoiithern rights against the encroach,
incuts of the Clay compromise are seeking a
dissolution of the Union, and this when there has
not been passed by any meeting of the people a
single Resolution in favor of Secession or Dis
union. The only palliation or excuse for such
conduct is, that some more zealous than prudent
patriots have given way to their indignant feel
ings and expressed themselves in favor of acces
sion or a dissolution of the Union as the only
efficient remedy against the aggressions of the
North. But this is in reality no good excuso for
such conduct, because no assemblage of the
people or the Southern Rights party, have adopt.
ed such a Resolution or acted upon the sugges
tion. It was the opinion of individuals, and it
still remain* but the opinion of individuals.—
The people first united in opposition to the Clay
Compromise and the aggressions of the North,
which those who now cry Disunion were aid
ing at the beck of the politicians at
to pass through Congress. From tiiis, fellow
citizens, which you must acknowledge to be the
truth, you will perceive that the issue to be
decided by your votes is not Union or Disunion;
but in fact whether you will encourage Northern
aggression or oppose it and seek to protect your
country, your property, your homes and your
families from ruin and inferiority, and may be,
from desolation. Will you tamely submit to
such a fate, when by the Union of the South the
Constitution can be preserved in its purity ; or
if our Northern brethren will not listen to our
united voices, but shall he determined to press
on in their tnad career, and try to subject us to
their unjust and unrighteous will, regardless of
their honor and the stipulations of the Constitu
tion, and will force you to an independent posi
tion among the nations of the earth, then you
will say let it come, if we cannot be allowed our
rights in the Union, but not before. This Is no
doubt the position of every man who has ex
pressed an opinion in favor ofdisuriion, and he
has no doubt too been driven to it by seeing
some of his fellow citizens, so duped by the po
liticians, and led to support that which he con
siders destructive to the honor, to the equality,
and to the safety of his country. Asyetthedis
unionists, if there are in reality and truly any,
stand alone.
The Southern Rights party, the men, who,
when the Clay compromise men combined tu aid
the Compromise through Congress anu make i (
the law of the country, united and opposed it,
expressing at the same time a willingness to ac
cept the Missouri line to the .Pacific ns a settle,
merit, are the only men who are united in party
and they cannot be disutiionists, for they have
offered, for the sake of peace and union, to ac
cept less than their rights. The fact, under the
present circumstances is, that the Clay compro
mise party is, if there is any disunion party, the
Disunion party, at was stated at the first of this
controversy —because they advocate a compro
mise, which is aggressive upon the rights of the
South and the priuciplcs of the Constitution.—
The Constitution was a compromise—a bargain
between two parties, the North and the South—
the terms, principles and rights of that bargain
bound both parties, and neither party has the
right to change, or make any infraction of the
terms ; and the principles of the Constitution,
the bargain, were sufficient to sottle any difficul'
ty that might arise—Equality and justice were
the foundation principles and the rule for the
settlement of every difficulty ; therefore those
who advocate a different course of settlement are
(lie Disunionists, and the Clay compromise men
banded themselves together to force a different
mode of settlement, therefore no matter what
ground they may lake, so long as it is not in
accordance with the principles of the Constitu
tion, they are the Disunionists.
- he Constitution was not made, to bear upon
words, but upon tho action of men and sections
of the country towards each other, and for the
rule of action for the Government. It was a
compromise, and being a compromise, no addi
tional compromise could bo made without the
consent of all the parties or ratified by three
fourths.
The South has been shut out of the Territo
ries and there is neither justice nor equality in
that ; nor lias three-fourths of the Union sanc
tioned it—The principle of emancipation, too,
has been recognized by Congress, and may be
enforced under certain circumstances, by the
Slave Trade Bill in the District of Columbia.— i
Once established, it becomes precedent ; and
who can say where it will stop, while such poli. 1
ticians as those of the present day, rule the
country,and while lawyers and not statesmen
ar6 the interpneters of the Constitution, and j
where parties are so lost to principle and so
ready to back what n partisan may do.
Arise my countrymen, and by your votes put |
down this misconstruction of the principles of j
the Government, or corruption if it be. Your j
salvation depends upon your ability to restore
puiitv to the Government, and that the South
can, if all will only unite ; fnr it is but the crca* '
ture of tbe people’s creation. Strike now pro
perly and boldly by your votes and you will re
generate the Government. Tbe North is de
pendent upon you for prosperity and If she is
fool enough not to yield, and will proceed to
aggress ; when the time and the circumstances
may come, which shall render it necessary for
the South to lake her position as an independent
nation, she can with a certainty oftlie friendship
of all other commercial nations, and of being able
to make herself as great a nation as ever existed.
Look at her statesmen, that have been, and
more such she has—look at her soldiers—and
look at her productions ; what better guaranties
are wanted for the preservation of her rights > ,
None can be ; if they are only properly used, j
And what better to insure her prosperity, if ahe
should he forced to take an independent posi
tion l These circumstances and facts should
make the South firm and decided in protecting
her rights under the Constitution, which is the
Union—Say what they ploaae, to yield our
rights under the Constitution is to give up the
Uuion, and to give up the Union is disunion.—
And this the Clay compromise party are doing,
and trying to hide their action under the cry of
Disunion. A- LOOKER ON.

JHm.vvitl. chronic diseases, at his U'uter Cure
or Electro Hydropathic Establishment, near
Marietta, Cobb county, Ga. Ills Baths are sit
uated near the principal Buildings. Tbe sceuo
io tlm immediate vicinity is picturesque, being
near Kenpesaw Mountain. The scenery, pure
water, the great elevation above the level of tlm
ocean, (being 450 feetabove even the Tennessee
line on the Western and A tlnntic Bailroad,) the
convenience of access by Railroad, the refined
and intellectual society, nnd pure atmosphere,
have all most admirably conspired to render tim
location suitable for an establishment of the
kind.
The Proprietor deems it needless to sav any
thing relative to the curative powers of either
Water or Electricity, as tlm general mass oftlie
people in this country have attained a know ledge
of their great value ir. removing disease, lie
flatters himself that he is able with pure Water
and Electricity, to remove any character or des
cription of disease that could, under other treat
ment or circumstances, possibly be removed—
together with a numerous bust, tlint all other
remedies, must necessarily fail to remove.-
The expenses per dav, for « Patient at his
Establishment, will be for Beard, use of'Elcelric
Shocks and Bulbs, with Water Baths. Mbtlical
