Kited ml the approaching Convention, of whom four-fifths

voice will go U P fronl tbat bo,] y which cannot be heard and
disregarded, with impunity. That voice will speak in pa

not less patriotic terms of defiance and resistance against the
enemies of the South, when the occasion calls for action of

Fiiffitivc Slaves in Boston.
It is known to most of our citizens, that two slaves, the
property of I>r. Collins and Mr. Ira Taylor, of Macon, ab
sconded a year or two since, and escaped to i Jos ton. Meas
ures were recently taken to have them arrested ; and Mr.
Willis Hughes and Mr. John Knight were deputized to go
to Boston and attend to said duty. Their presence there, it
■coins, has caused considerable commotion, as will appear
from the following account from the Boston Post:
The Fugitive Slave Excitement in Boston.
There was some slight commotion in this city, yesterday,
in consequence of the issuing of warrants for William Crafts
and his wife Ellen, fugitives from Macon, Georgia, claimed
by a person named Hughes, said to be a jailor, and acting as
agent of the master of the Crafts. The rumors in circula
tion yesterday in relation to the a flair were numberless, but
the facts we believe to be as follows : Mr. Hughes applied to
Judge Sprague, ou Thursday, for the warrants, and they were
placed in the hands of General Devons, United States mar
shal, that night, or early yesterday morning. It was known
to Crafts and his friends that an agent was here in pursuit of
him, and his first determination was to resist seizure, and for
that purpose he armed himself, and professed to wait for the
officer and agent, at his residence in Cambridge street, where
be also has a small shop in which he works at cabinet making. ;
In the course of the forenoon, however, his friends prevailed
Upon him to retire to the house of one Hayden, in Soutine
street. In the course of the day, both houses were reconnoi
tered by persous in the service of the agent, but there was no
attempt to enter and make an arrest. In the forenoon, E. G.
Luring and 8. E. Sewell, retained by the vigilance committee
Ch general counsel for fugitives, called upon J edge Sprague, at
liis chambers, and interrogated him specifically, whether he
had issued any warrants, and, if so, against whom. .Judge
Sprague declined giving any reply, other than to say that he
regarded such warrants as standing upon the same ground as
all other warrants, and therefore that he was not at liberty to
make any disclosures in relation to them before they had been
served. He also declined to answer whether he had, or had
not, issued any warrants. At one time there was a large
crowd near the court house, and one white man made him
self conspicuous at the corner of Franklin avenue and Court
street, by haranguing the assembly and advising them to re
sist unto the death, if any arrest should be made. Considera
ble crowds were also collected in Ann and Cambridge streets
about the middle of the day, but as no open measures were
taken towards serving the warrants, the excitement died away
daring the afternoon.”
On Thursday, despatches were received here, from Hughes,
that the negroes were still secreted, and he had not been able
to make the arrest.
A despatch has also been received from a prominent mer
chant of Boston, asking the present owner to seta price upon
the fugitives, with a view to their purchase and emancipation.
This, we understand, is declined by that gentleman until after
the return of the slaves home, when he is willing to sell them
at a reasonable price.
SfW York Moving.—There is a call, in the N. Y.
]>ay Book, for a meeting of the merchants and citizens of
Nrtv York city, at an early day, to signify their approval of
the Peace measures adopted by Congress on the Slavery
question, and to put down further opposition thereto in that
suction. \\ itli a few exceptions, which the Day Book prom
ises to name, the merchants have generally signed the call.—
The “Tribune,” “Evening Post,’’and oilier abolition prints,
arc being discountenanced by the business men, and their
advertising patronage withdrawn. Good !
SfiitiniPiU in Pennsylvania.- -The Pcnnsy!vnnir
an, tile leading Jjenioerntic journal of Philadelphia. tJiiiC
of tlieattemptof Tliad. Stevens and others to resist the’
execution of the Fugitive Slave Law, in that State:
“ We trust no high minded citizen will b intimidated by ,
this new artifice of the enemies of the Union. The law passed j
by Congress in regard to fugitive slaves must, and will be, On- j
forced •, and those who attempt to prevent it being carried out, i
will cover themselves with the shame they seem to be so j
anxious to throw upon others.”
The “new artifice” referred to, is the intimidation common- ■
cod against the < Ifficcrs of the General Government, to cause j
them to resign their situations rather than execute the law.—
The same-artifice is used to prevent men accepting the office
of Marshal or Commissioner, whenever a vacancy occurs
through that intimidation er otherwise. The law will, how
ever, be enforced, says the Pennsylvanian.
eptrtmiarvyMcgen
The Duty of the President.- -Seeing thnt. a dis- i
.... °
position is manifested by many, at the North, to nullify the
Fugitive Slave Law and render it inoperative, would it not be
well fortlie President to show his hand, and declare his pur
pose, in relation to his obligation to have the law enforced, at
every hazard ? A proclamation to this effect, by way of |
warning to evil-doers, it seems to us, would come opportunely, !
at this crisis, from the hand of the Nation's Chief Magistrate, j
It would not only deter designing men at the North from cul
pable overt acts of resistance to the Fugitive Law, but would
give confidence to the whole South and the country, that fac
tious disorganize! - * and violators of the law, of every hue and
grade, would certainly be met w ith the strong arm of the Na
tion's power, and suffer tiie penalty due to.their crimes.—
In the name of the People, we therefore call upon President
b llmore for a Proclamation. IJ is illustrious predecessor issued
one on a much less important occasion—that of the Round
Bland Cuban Expedition 1 Let us, then, have a Proclama
tion, Mr. President, unless, indeed, your allegiance to the
“higher power” code of morals than the Constitution you
have sworn to support, will cause you to affiliate with the en
emies of “law and older, we do not believe.
Hopeful Language. — The New York Globe
has the following patriotic language in reference to
‘he treasonable conduct of Northern Fanatics touch
ing the execution of the Fugitive Slave Law. Ye
lire glad to see that the New York press, generally,
k becoming wide awake to the dangers to the Union
attendant upon the present schemes of the disorgan
]zerH, in that :
“Gur Southern friends must bear with us yet lon
tilings must grow worse here before they are
Wtter. Some of the Beecher or Lowell Fanatics, or
some of their negro allies must shoot down a few
t'ffieers who may attempt to do their duty by ex
iting the laws, and linn the spirit of the North
‘fill be aroused. If we fail then to teach abolition
an dthe ‘higher law 1 miscreants a lesson which will
ferever silence their treasonable babble —then letthe
Nnf}) rely on their own strong hands and just rights.
‘There is honesty, and virtue, and patriotism at
. e sufficient to rebuke the foul spirit of fac
hon—to trample under foot the enemies of the l -
n, °n. It requires but the excitement of some start
ing overt act of a criminal character to rouse that
into a terrible manifestation of its omnipo
tefee. A fanaticism in favor of the Union can he
Wakened, whose devouring flames will scorch and
‘ u ' n , and annihilate in their fiery march—every
‘estig e 0 f sedition and abolition—every trace of
treason— every refuge of traitors.”
Remarkable Success - -The Charleston Courier snys
hai. the steamer Southerner has made >B6 passages between
ew York and Charleston, running in that time 121,388
ttl| leß,and that without having (except on one occasion,) her
’ ‘'(pile stopped an hour on account of accident. ‘ She lias con
v<><■(], to and fro, twelve thousand passengers, and the large
‘mount of four millions of dollars in specie, and an incalculable
ftnantity of valuable goods ou freight. Although doing tins
h'-mendous business, the underwriters have never been called
1 to pay a hundred dollars damage, either on shipor cargo.—
luring the past summer, says the Courier, $27,000 have
-'-a expended in repairing this steamer, and she is now in
first rate order, under the command of Capt. Berry, who lias
had charge of the boat since its construction.
Dancing and Waltzing. —We take pleasure in
calling attention to the advertisements in to-day’s paper, of two
Professors of these polite arts, Monsieur Bonaud and Mons.
Bossieux. The former is highly recommended by the Savan

places.

A Distinguished Visitor.—The lion. J. M. Ber
rian arrived in this city on Thursday, with a view to address
the people last evening, iu opposition to the recent measures
| of Congress on the Slavery question. As our paper went to
press before the hour of the meeting, we can give no par
ticulars. It is deeply regretted, however, that the Honorable
j Senator .should be found in the ranks of the disorgatiizers—
the anti-l&w and Order” party of the country. His {mliti
ca! damnation is thereby made as sure as his worst enemy
conld desire. ‘What a pity! Mr. B. has been nominated,
j by the Fire-Eaters of Savannah, as a candidate for the Con
i vention from Chatham. It is believed, however, that he will
not accept the nomination, with the prospect of being badly
beaten in his own county, or of having his influence (if eleot
| ed) paralyzed in the Convention, by the paucity of his sup
; porters in that body.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
FIFTH VOLUME OF THE
Published at Notasulga, Alabama.
John Kurruss, Editor & Proprietor.
THIS PAPER is the organ of the Universalist De
nomination in the Southern and South-Westerrt
States, and will be as heretofore, devoted to the region
of onr I.ord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The promulga
tion and defence of the ber.ign doctrine of Universal
Grace as inscribed on the pages of Divine Inspiration—
Literature, the Markets, Science and General intelli
gence .
It will give energetical essays on supposed difficult
passages of Scriyture—repel assaults that are being
made against the doctrine of Universal Salvation, (for
which, all good people pray) and labor to establish be
yond successful cavil, “by proofs divine, and reasons
strong,” that God will finally destroy sin and tftisery
from the Universe and “recortilc all (kings uhlo himself,'*
[col. 1., 20.} thoroughly washed and regenerated!
The unprecedented success which has thus far atten*
ded the ‘Hetald,’ has induced the Editor to publish it
every week, in an improved form, commencing in Janu
ary next, at greatly reduced rates.
As additional expense will necessarily he incurred, if
is to be hoped that the friends of liberal principles, will
at once exert their utmost influence in procuring new
subscribers, and thus aid in sending the ‘Herald’ into
many desolate regiorjs of our Zion, where the voice of
the preachc-r is but seldom heard.
The Editor is pleased to’ state that Revs. C. F. R.
Shetiane, S. J. McMorrris, Almon Gage, D. B. Clayton,
and others are regular contributors to the work, from
whore instructive pens, the columns of the ‘Herald’ will
be weekly enriched.
The reputation of there brethren fs too’ well ktfrtvVfi f&
require any elogium from our pen. Suffice it to say,
that with their concentrated action, the Editor will labor
diliigentiy to make his paper an acceptable exponent of
the greatdoctine of ’the restitution of all things.’ [Acta,
