Mr. Fillmore, without the shadow of law, or the authority ol precedent, was resdy to exeit all tlte I towers of tho Government in dismember Texas Will, he he ns ready lo enforce plnin law against his** Union "and “law abiding brethren” of the free States? Thu difficulty, to say nothing of the principle, will be far less in this case, than in that of Texas. Here there rested here and held to bail in the sura of ten thousand dollars each, upon a charge by the citizens of Slander. They were arrested with the belief that they were slave catchers, and in some at tempts they hail made, the plea of slan der was alleged against them. They were, when at home, citizens of Florida. They entered bail and are ogaiu ot liberty. Boston, Oct. 23-r. m. Knight, who was held lo hail on Sat urday, was-again arrested to-day, with another Georgian, named Hughes, by the sheriff, charged with couspireing to kidnap. They gave bonds in a lh«>u- saud dollars and were discharged. A crowd assembled around the SherifFi office witli violent intentions. Knigli and Hughes took refuge in a carriage which was burst open as the horses were slatted at full speed.

Deveus is supposed lo be inclin- fa ed to resign an office which assimilates him so much to a blood hound, and it is reported that ihe extreme helpfulness of Deputy Watson Freeman, has a squint towards the succession to the United States Marshalship. That may he. The officers generally manifest an ex cellent spirit, and with some exceptions, freely promise that they will resign rath er than give any assistance in sending back the fugitives. Every movement of these men will now he watched.— That is well, hut not enough. The war should be pressed right into the enemy’s camp. An ounce of prevention is nnd of cure.

We welcome to our table this new daily. It is published by R. J.'Yancey & Sons, and edited by R. J. Yancey, Esq., formerly editor of the Memphis Enquirer. The title of the Southerner indicates its position on the great ques- of the day, and the South, we doubt not, will find iu it one of its ablest defenders. We copy the following ex tract from the Salutatory Address of the editor:—Nashville Union. YVe have acted with the YVhig party since its formation—not approving of all the acts of all the members of the ■party, hut adhering to the fundamental principles upon-which it was originally founded. To these principles as . we have uiulerstooil them, we still cling with the loudness of an iufaut to its mother’s breast—they are our only po litical aliment. But when the great men of the party propose to surrender what they acknowledged to be the con stitutional rights on a point of expedi ency, we cannot follow, nor do we be lieve that the people will submit.— There is- in tbe~4ireasi of. our free citi- zeus an indomitable will, an mate : of right, and their will is that tbe consti tution shall fem>UD as they sanction it and their known rights they will main tain. t of it; YVhat was son soon became PATRIOTISM : now tbe memories of YVasbington, trick Henry* Thomas Jefferson and oth er exalted friends of their country—is ETERNAL FAME.

The speech of Governor Brown various times interrupted by loud plause-—most especially when speaking of resistance. He concluded by giving us the advice of Cromwell—adapting it to this occasion—lhat while we should all pray for the success of.the Union in ils original purity, to keep our powder dry. " .
