We siibji.'m some of tba details of the closing scenes of ihe Boston fugitive slave case : The Court met at 1) o'clock, when the fugitive was wrought in, gu arded by a half a duSTB hm n. The Court room vvas nearly filled uiih the M ir shal's guards each mm being provided with a pistol, concealed abmil his person. Theodore Par ker .Mid Wendell Phillips came in with the fugi tive's cone. The Commissioner then gave his opinion. Af ter analysing ihe i vidence he discussed the consti tutionality vftha Fugitive Slave Law, concluding as follows : " think ihe statue constitutional, and il remains lor m apply it. The facts concern ing the es'iap- and ideality were al! the Court had to consider, and be was satisfied the claimant had full established these. He was therefore entitled lo a certificate of his rights lo '.he lugitive. At an early hour this morning, a company of United States Infantry and a detachment ot Artil lery, with a six-pounder, from ihe Navy Yard, were Stat am ed to guard the main entrance to the Court House. A crowd assembled rapidly, thousands having gathered by U o'clock. Alter the Commissioner's decision was announced. Court Square was cleared, and the Artillery detachment performed various military evolutions. Court street, and every avenue leaimg to the square, being thronged. Numerous stores were closed, and many building leslooned with black. The II iy r soon issued a proclamation, urging tho people, to d;sper-e, and warning them lhat he had given 11 M ijor General Ivluiunds and the Chief of Police full discretionary powers to sustain the laws with all .he military and civ il forces under their command.

He appeared to be in good spirits. There are now fully 20,000 persons in Stale and Court streets. Applications v re made lo the .Mayor lo have ihe low n bell tolled, but consent w as refused. The preparations made for the conveyance of ihe prisoner lo the w harf were most complete. A large body of police was stationed at Central Wharf, arhnce arrangements hal been mad-? to convey him in a steamboat to ihe revenue cutter Morris, which was theu to be towed to sea.

When the military had all taken their positions, the line extended from Court Square to Ootral Wharf, through a crowd of not less than 20,000 person. At one o'clock. Court street was cleared of the mob alter much trouble. All the streets leading into it are guarded by troops. Wm. Jones, one of the witnesses at the trial, wis arrested for using exciting language. He was taken up Stale street by the police, and enthusiastically cheered all the way. The police were greeted w:tu groans and bisses. Al h lf-past two o'clock.

In addition lo reinit tito the fine of 0,000 imposed upon the steamer by the Cuban authorities, Spain disclaims any in tention of insulting the fl ig of the United States. It lurns out at last thai Mr. Soule has disap pointed his Whig defame rs by proving himself an accomplished diplomatist, and vindicating the wis dom of the appointment. We are gratified at this termination of the difficulty, for while the dig nit of the courtrv has been vindicated and the rights of our citizens protected, we have escaped war, that curse of civilised nations. We have ever been in favor of the peaceable acquisition of this gem of the ocean, yet we did not wish to see the country involved in war to accomplish it. We have hut to abide our time, and the force of circumstances will drive it into our lap. The ty ranny of Spiin will ultimately produce a revolu tion, which will, we hope, result in the indepen dence of the island, and then peaceable annex ation will follow thus it will give us possession of ibis golden apple without any of the evils at tendant upon hostilities.

This bill w hich has bien aeitaiinu the countrv for so many months and whose passage was re garded as so signal a triumph to the South and the cause of Constitutional Liberty has not only re moved the source of such bitter and malignant excitement and struggling, but has proved to the South who are her true friends, nnd upon whom she must rely for the enforcement of her rights and equality in ihe confederacy. The Democratic party under the lead of the gallant Douglass battling for a great principle ol constitutional freedom achieved onj of the most glorious victories lhat has ever signalized the an- mma i" ii y parly li u.'.. the triumph (1( riyhl over might, of constitutional law over excited and embittered factions and resulted in the establish ment of a princ:ple thai will consolidate the pil lars of the Union, unJ cement the fabric of gov ernment, around which the how lings of fanati cism will be as harmless as the fanning of a sum mer brez'.

It was regardid by ma- accomplisllCfJ lo constitute a North Carolina nv lugs ot the South as a political ottering ol the Worth to ' the South, and ih- y voted lor it accordingly. Dm it wa. in work firs', to develope the resources of the Slate, realirr what the Northern Whigs regarded it, a trap to catch , . . . -, . , , Ihe South, and destroy the Whilr Party. It has done its mis- I und in the meantime to build up a home market, chief in some respects, without bringing with it any goodto the South, and without destroying the Inu party. Ihe principle involved in it, is n mere naked abstraction of right and justice, which will never result in any practical benefit to the South, because the laws of nature and the peculiar cir cumstances attending the institution of slavery, forbid it. lis passage has violated a solemn compromise, which, though originally wrong in principle, had been acquiesced in by the South, without a murmur, for 3:1 years, and lias now only been tramped up by a political demagogue to secure his elec tion to the Presidency in Jfjti, and conscientious men, both North and South, might well oppose it without committing any great violation of patriotic duty or political morality. The grear democratic principle which it asserts, had already been hilly established, for all practical purposes, by the Compromise of 1850, and its passage now will only have the effect to par alyse the efficacy ol the Fugitive Slave Law, so fully and ef fectually established by the Compromise of 1850, and proba bly, from this cause, eventuate in a bloody civil war between the South and the North. Without therefore, believing, for a moment, that its passage will a: all strengthen the claims ol Northern Abolitionists to popular favor, we will venture to say lhat the whig party is stronger now, and more thoroughly unit d, than it has been for many years, because its passage now only reasseris principles involved in the Whig Compro mise ol 1850, without violating any of its party plighted faith to lormer Compromises, as is the case with the Democratic parly, by the introduction and passage ol this Nebraska and Kansas liill. - - Rail Road Meeting. A very enthusiastic meeting of the cilizens of Charlotte and surrounding countrv was held in the Court House, on Tuesday last, to make ar rangements for the holding of a general Conven tion of the friends of ihe Jonesboro', Charlotte ec Wilmington Rail Road. There was a large num her of persons present and more interest mani fested than we ever saw upon any similar occa sion. The object of tho meeting was explained by the Chairman, Capt. John Walker, in a lucid argument, going back to the earliest movement in lavor of Rail Road enterprise in the State, and tracing it through all its tips and downs to ihe present time. He siid he had always been in fa vor of a judicious system of internal improve ments, such, as while it wou'd develope the re sources of the State would not impose a too heavy burden upon the people and claimed for Mecklen burg the credit of giving the present incentive to ihe spirit which n4V animates ihe whole State. Alter the failure of the Raleigh & Gaston, and the Wilmington fc Raleigh Rail Ro;ids to realize ihe expectations of the stockholders, ibe question ol internal improvement became unpopular, and no efforts to embark in similar schemes was made until the citizens of Mecklenburg applied for a charter to build a Road from this place to connect with a Road either from Camden or Co lumbia the ciiarter was granted, as no money was asked, and in two years it became evident that it would be built then it was that the char- ter was asked to connect Charlotte with Danville, - 1 J. l " . . .- s upon nnu respoiueu, e iieriaining tne mealing lor some time, by ejtplai: ing the manner in which the Bar at the mouth of the Cape Fear had be, fin...! r, mnA lm. u i ' ' l l i v l x i ' 1 1 ww.

He had always been in favor of improvements of this kind and went for ihe " two thiids rule." His speech showed that he had carefully studied the subject, and was replete with sound argument and valuable information, Mr. Osborne next addressed the meeting in his happiest style 'his was a project that had long engaged his attention, and regarded it as more prolific of good to the whole interest of the State than any scheme ever before devised. He had corresponded with prominent gentlemen on the subject before the Charlotte & S. C. Rail Road had been undertaken but Wilmington was so deeply engaged in other enterprises at the time while she acknowledged the importance, and de sired i:s completion, was unable to givo it any as sistance. He repelled the idea that we were South Carolinian in feeling that we had been driven as the last resort to form a connection with that State and concluded by paying ar. eloquent tri bute to the enterprise, energy, and public spirit of the citizens of Wilmington. 0;her gentlemen followed, showing that this work would not conflict with the Central Road in anv way, but would increase the amount of freight that would pass over it. North Carolina has already embarked in a sys tem of Rail Roads, and that policy should be ad hered to, if we wish lo make her what nature in tended her to be, one of the greatest Slates in the confederacy. The Jonesborb', Charlotte & Wil. mington Road will make the great artery that will ramify through the system imparting life and vigor to ihe whole. It is so thoroughly North Caroli nian, that it will stop that ;' bleeding at both arms" that is Draining us ot our strength paralyzm i ur energies and crippling our resources iun i ning through the State, penetrating the valley of 1 ,1,.. T,,,, ... ;,. lrJ,n f,,.r.. Tun centrated wealth ol lour Mates into the lap ol Wilmington a commercial emporium will start up on our border whose growth will exceed lhat even of the Queen City of the West. The Central Road from its windings, or horse shoe shape, can never be of much bent fit to our Atlantic towns, and so far as ihe building them up is concerned it is a failure. It does what has been attempted to be obviated, takes our substance to Virginia markets, and the freight over the road is all that is left us. With equal facilities pro- ,hen is ,,e Central Road but half as much a State Koati as Ihe one we are now contemplating. Then we can see no reason why the State should not subscribe to this work with as much liberality as she has done to the Central Road. (FJ We have received from ihe i4 Standard " office, the first annual report of the Superintend ent of Common Schools. The document is Well got up and reflects credit upon the taste and skill of the proprietor of the office from which it issued. The subject of Common Schools is one of great importance to the welfare and advancement of the material interests of the Stale, and the cause was happy in securing the services of so competent and zealous a Superintendent as Mr. Wiley. i'ro;;i the Petersburg Inteligencer. The Whig Party. To any one of ihe slightest observation it must be very apparent that what was once known as the Whig party fias ceased to exist. The name now used signifies nothing and represents nothing in a national sense of the word. The so-called Whigs of the North have not one feeling in common with the Whigs of the South, and it is idle for sections so antagonistic to attempt to unite in electing a candidate for the Presidency. These facts have, much against our will, been forced upon us by the aciioii of the Whigs of the North. For a time (here were some who held out, or seemed to hold out, against the fanatical attempts upon the Un ion made by its enemies, the abolitionist ; but these al last have been carried off" by "the .heady current" ol freesoilism, and now the South has not one friend among ihe influential Whigs of (he North, except Millard Fillmore, upon whom she could re ly for aid and support in maintaining her constitu tional rights. This is a melancholy statement, the truth of which cannot even be doubted. People may wish it were otherwise, but fire and water will as soon harmonize as Southern Whigs and Northern Freesoilers. The Northern Whigs have not only deserted ihe Whigs of the South, but have added insult to injury. Their tone is thai of superior to inferior. Their language is, 'Gen tlemen of the South, you want too much, and we cannot yield to your demands. As long as you were content with w hat we were willing to con cede to you it win all very well, but now that you have set up for yourselves it is quite another thing.' ! Such language pre-sopposes a vassalage on the part of ihe South, which, as a Southern man, we indignantly deny and repel. We beg nothing r.t the hands ol ihe North, but demand, and will in the end compel, a respect lor our constitutional rights. The Southern Whigs having thus been deserted j uoui iu uiung uau luiiiu vuwmciigru iu ine party 1. . . by more age, experience, and position than we can boast of. Humble, however, as wo rnav he. nnr j 18 lh'- prompting ol a heart devoted 10 a i cause for which we have privately and publicly , r I t.-l friiiirloi Inr I ha I not n. r, , , n - - - I I , ... ,vlll nvpr ahnrloii. I We throw out then for :hc consideration of our Southern Whig brethern the suggestion of holding a Southern Whig Convention, in some central point of the South say Columbus, Georgia, for instance either during the coming autumn or in the next spring, to consider the policy and duty ol the Whigs at the South. Although the Whigs of the South may never be able to elect a Whig of their choice to the Presidency, they can exercise an influence most potential to good. Upon one great subject ihey can act with the democrats of The South. They can co-operate in the aquisition of Cuba, and thus place two slave States in the way of Northern aggression, while it would throw open to Southern enterprise and Poathern cities the trade 0 the most fertile and beautiful island of lhonrQn Tho Iron unit best mndfi nf rfiSlStin?? NortKernaggression is to foster and develop by all doss h e expedients nnr nwn vast nnd incalculable resources. Build up New Orleans, Mobile, Char- leston, Savannah and Norfolk, and in turn they will build up the interior cities and towns, and place the South in a condition to laugh to scorn ihe threats of the Abolitionists. The holding of such a Convention as we propose may be termed sectional. Well let it be so. It is sectional, nnd meant to be so. What are the Northern Whigs now doing? Acting sectionally for the purpose of violating the constitution. Look at their votes on the Nebraska bill, and then see if it will lay in 'heir mouths to rebuke the W higs of the South for hold ing a sectional Convention to devise ways and means to protect the Constitution from their own ruthless assaults. Important Rail Road JVectiii?. A spirited meeting of the citizens of Mecklen burg County was convened in the Court House at Charlotte, on Tuesday, the 6th of June, 1854. to respond to the Resolutions of a meeting of tho citizens of Wilmington, held on the 27th ultimo, r .u riii- i n to fix the lime for holding a general Convention . of the friends of the proposition to construct the Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio Rail Road ; when on motion of General John A. Young, Captain John Walker, was called to the Chair? and R. P.Wa- , . n ' n ion" "ii" i . n,i,iAjiju., iimms,, were an- point eo secretaries. The Chairman explained the object of the meeting in a strong and lucid argument in favor of the proposition. Dr. Fox was then called upon to address the meeting on the general proposition, and did so, giv. ing a history of this great enterprise from its com mencement to the prespnt time, during which he read to the meeting the Resolutions of the Wil mington of the 27th ultimo, and showed the great interest fe lt in behalf of the enterprise throughout the line. Mr. Osborne followed Dr. Fox; he made a few happy remarks in its behalf, and offered a Reso. Iution in favor of removing the Bar at the mouth of Cape Fear. At the conclusion of Mr. Osborne's remarks, V. C. Barringer, Esq., made a short speech man ifesting much interest in the enterprise.

If the pilgrim fathers with slavery on their escutcheon were so superior to the modern abo litionists, is there in the mere fact of slavery ex iting at the south, any reason why the south should not stand as high in the scale of virtue the north ?
