MR CLAY'S OPINIONS. Mr Clay made another ' groat speech " before the Kentucky Legislature a lew weeks since. Some of the statements and opinions of that speech may be of interest to the reader, as com ing from a man of Mr Clay's age, experience, and acknowledged ability. Speaking of the subject of sla.ery its-area of operation and its final dying out, he says : Apprehensions have been entertained ami expressed a to the want, in future time, of Territorial scope for the Slave population. 1 believe that a very distant event, not likely to occur in the present or next century. Whenever the vast un occupied wastes in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Texas, shall become fully peopled. Slavery will have reached its natural termination. The density of population in the United Slates will then be so ;reat, that there w ill be such reduction in the price and value of labor, as to render it much cheaper to em ploy free than slave labor ; and Slaves, becoming; a burden to their owners, will AN INDEPENDENT PRESS Major CaJdwelVs case a Convert Charge agefinst the Bench. We believe that the Favetteville Observer was the only press in Ihe State that defended Judge Settle for the sentence he passed upon Major Caldwell, and denounced the public opin ion which operated to moderate that sentence As an offset to the deep-dyed federalism of that paper, and its peculiar devotion to the ermine, we give an article from the Lincolnton Courier, a democratic : From the Lincolnton Courier. On our first pasje we give an account of the proceedings ot the Court ol Mecklen burg county in the case of the State vs. (j. V. Caldwell. J he facts stated, are conclusive in themselves, and however personal feeling may have operated on our part, we think we are justified by the facts themselves, in expressing a total disapprobation of the proceedings of tne honorable Court. We have had our objec tions to the election of Judges by the peo ple but the action in the case "now allu ded to has set all these objections aside. We had thought the Judges of our State free from undue influences, and regret to state, that, in this instance, the most venal, were brought to bear. Suppose we were to remark, that a Judge of our Superior Court should go to Mr O and say, "Mr O the Grand Jury have requested me to remit the imprisonment in the case of" such a one if you say remit it, 1 will." 1 say remit it," says Mr O. He then goes to Mr B . " Mr B." says he, the Grand Jury have requested me to remit the imprisonment in the case of" such a one. 'if vou sav remit it. 1 will." " Remit it," says Mr B. "Mr W. the Grand Jury have renuested me to remit the imprisonment in the case of" such a onej if YOLT say remit it, I will." "Remit it," says Mr W. "Mr O ,"says the same figure-head of Just ice, the Grand Jury have sugges ted to me to remit the imprisonment of" such a one, if YOLT say do it I'LL DO IT!" "DO IT!" says Mr G., and the farce may be thus ended, and the Law settled. The above may be supposition we do not say it is but we do say, that no man is fit to sit on the Judge's bench who has not character an. independence enough to pass tne sentence or the law, and enforce it. when necessary. But, human nature is frail, anJ in the sentence of Maj. Cald well, we find full evidence, that the rigor of the Judge found its venom in party and the only mercy which tempered Jus tice, was in the noble hearts ot an insulted community. But Maj. Caldwell has not been dis graced every parent, every brother, every husband, every man of feeling will say "he has done right," and point the finger of scorn at all such braggarts as en deavor to do injury in secret and screen themselves behind the law.

' He next squints at the probable dissolution of present parties, and the formation of a union and a disunion party; and he announces him self, in advance, a member of the union party. This is just what the whig party has been trying to do for the last two years. If some plan could be fixed to bring about a "dissolution" of the democratic party, whiggery would expect to be made. Speaking of the next Presidential election, Mr Clay says : If I am alive, I will give my hiimble support to that man for the Presidency, who, to whatever party he may belong, is not contaminated by fanaticism; rather than to one who, crying out all the time aloud that he is a whig, maintains doctrines utterly subversive of the constitution and the Union." Near the conclusion of his speech, he pays the following high compliment to the democratic party: Otir late heated discussions and divi sions have produced one good result the people generally, whigs and democrats, have been more thrown together in free and friendly intercourse. Both have learned to appreciate each other. For myself, 1 declare, with the utmost truth and plea sure, that, during the late arduous and protracted session, I was in conference and confutation quite as often, if not of tener, with Democrats than Whigs ; and I 4 found in the Democratic party quite as much patriotism, devotion to the Union Hionor, and probity, as in the other party." From the Macon Telegraph Not. 22. THE FUGITIVE LAW IN BOSTON. Our fellow citizen Mr Willis H. Hugh es, has just returned from his unsuccessful ettbrt to recapture the fugitive slaves from this city; and below will be found his state of the attending etrcumstances. We are assured by Mr Hughes, that the difficulties and dangers which attend all efforts of this character and absolutely incredible, and the indignation, abuse and injustice heap ed upon him, have no parallel in this Gov ernment; and that he, a free born citizen, did not receive either the courtesy or legal protection, extended to the poorest slave in Georgia. MR UGHES'S STATEMENT. I arrived in Boston on the 19th October, and kept concealed in my rcom until Mon day, the 21st. During this time I ascer tained that Bill and Ellen had not left Boston as had been reported. I then call ed to see Mr Shewers, (an attorney to whom I had a letter from Mr Fay of Savannah. He was absent from town and 1 did not see him: On the next day, I called on Judge Levi Woodbury, and stated that I wanted a warrant for the ar rest of two fugitive slaTes. He stated that he was not the proper person to issue it. I asked him to tell me who was the proper person to isue such warrants. He stated he would recommend me to go to Mr Lunt, United States District Attorney. I called on Mr Lunt, who stated that he had agreed to take a case of this kind before, and that it was an unpleasant business, and created a great deal of excitement, and he would . f I al a m not lane anomer case oi tne Kinu. I am inclined to think this statement of Mr Lunt a mere pretext to evade responsibili ty, I was unable to learn that there Avas any such case ever in existence. 1 asked him to inform me who was the proper per son to apply to. He recommenced me to Dr Benj. F. Hallett, United States Com missioner. I called at Mr IPs office and he was not at home. I then called at II o'clock at night, at his residence, and sta ted.tohim my business, and asked him for a warrant saying that if I had a warrant I could have the negroes arrested. He said the law did not authorize a warrant to be issued that it was my duty to go and ar rest the negro without a warrant, and bring him 1efore him. I stated to him lhat this was requiring arr impossibility tinder the state of things, and that that was not my construction of the nwj and showed him a copy of the la w. After looking at the law, he said he would consider of it, and give me an answer next morning at nine o'clock. I applied next day at nine o'cloclt. He then stated he had considered of it anil that it was not his business to advise tne what course to take. But if ( wouhl make out my charges in a legal form and come be fore him he would hear me. I then went to Mr Thayer, (a merchant, to whoinT had a letter, and told Mr Thayer, I wanted an attorney. He gut a friend who went to see Mr Seth.1. Thomas, an attorney, who agreed to take charge of the case. Mr Thomas was engaged, and called on Judge Sprague for a w arrant. This Judge equiv ocated and shuffled like the others had done. He then called on Mr Curtis, a United States Commissioner. He wanted time, like the others, to consider, and request ed us to call at four o'clock, p. m. which we did, and he then stated that they had agreed to have a meeting of the six Com missioners and the two Judires. namelv Woodbury and Sprague, that niaht. They held that meeting and decided that the Judges should hear mv comnfaint next morning in Chambers. I was then re quired to go into Court and make my com plaint, when they ordered the warrant to be 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 tlry goods box, speaking to the crowd, advising the negroes anil their friends to arm themselves with Bowie tnives, pistols and dirks, and resist the aw unto death; that if it was a law of the United States it was in direct violation of the law of God, and ought to be resisted at all hazards, and advised them to shoot down all stave catchers from the South. The warrant was then placed in the Marshal's hands I told him I wars ready to go'and point out the negroes to him. He sain that there was a question whether le could break the door ot Bill's Shop, where he understnod he was locked up. He took the balance of that day to settle that question. I called next morning and told htm I was again ready to ro. He then said it was reported that Bill, ( whom e called Mr Crafts,-) had left town, and he had a man on the look nut. and we must wait for him to report. I also had a man on the same business I called oh the Marshal again in the afternoon. lie said his man reported that Bill was not there. I then stated that my man reported that Bill was there. He said my rhan was mis taken, for his man was reliable and could not be mistaken. The next day my attorney vent to' sec the Marshal, wW stated to him, that he was ready to go with me alone. I imme diately went to him and proposed to pro ceed at once. He then said, 4 it was a dif ficult matter, and he would have to get a large force, some twenty or thirty men He had made this same excuse before. At dinner time, this day. my eighth day in Boston, Mr Knight and myself were both arrested, under a bail writ in the penalty of 10,000 for slandering Craft, alledging that we had charged him with stealing his body and clothes. This consumed the balance of the day. On the Monday following, vvv were both again arrested under bail of 8 10s, 000 each, for damaging "one William Crafts" irr his business. The excitement kept increas ing. We were then carried to the Sheriff's office. By the time we gave bond, the sidewalks and streets were crowded with Abolitionists, negroes &c. We went to the Hotel to tea. About tea' time we were both again arrested fur slanderiag Ellen Crafts, and held to bail in $20,000 each. When arrested the Sheriff told me I must go with him to his office and give bond I told him I could give bond at my Hotel by sending lor my securities, that u I went to his office it would collect the mob again, and that they had already in sulted me as much as I coif Id bear, and I wanted to avoid a recurrence of similar- contacts. The Sheriff, however, still per sisted dnd required me to go'. We started but soon met my Lawyer, who said that one of my securities was on bis 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 $20,0007 The next day I learned that the rntrb had collected the night before at the Sheriff's office as I had supposed, and that among other things said and done there while they were on that lookout for me, a negro was there on horseback," charging and swearing, that lie would be the first man to shoot Hughes when he made his appearance. On the same day I vent to see the Marshal to know if he had got lur ther information. He said be had not. My attorney then advised me to go to N York for a few days, for the purpose of allaying the excitement, which had be come too furious he thought to admit of any success. I prepared to leave that even ing, which becoming public, a large crowd collected at my hotel for the purpose of insulting, me. I therefore, concluded riot to go lhat evening. Before 6 o'clock next morning, when I expected to leave, they were arodnd the house again in great num bers, with the Uev. Theodore Parker at their head knocking for admittance at my door. I admitted Mr Parker. He said he had come fo give roc a piece of friendly advice that he had kept the mob off of me for two days, ari'd was afraid he could not do it any longer. I told him that I un derstood' he was a' minister" of the gospel and a great advocate of iiiwrals-rin favor of people's obeying the laws: but xv&s sorry to find myself mistaken, and wanted him to leave i-that I was not grring to leave under any such threats, amF that I, was determined not to go' then. The crowd' dis persed shortly aft ervvards, and after trans acting some business", 1 left at 2 o'clock p. in. for tfew York. After being in New York' for several days, 1 learned that Bill and Ellen- had positively left" for England. , v There were five warrants' (besides" the cases namedj issued e'gainst me, all for the purpose of harrasirrg me and driving me a'wav. O'ne for "smoking in the street" one for swcaring in the streets'' (which was not the fact.) one "fur carrying con cealed weapons" one for" " driving fast through the streets" and another for passing Cambridge Bridge without paying toll, f which was not true. So far as I had any dealings with those who'thu endeavored to obstruct the law' and harrass me, or hat) a chance of ascer taining his position,' I would say, that they we're of the highest standing, socially, and politically in the community. As ah' instance,' Francis Jackson who' refused to fake Knight's hand, was a candidate for Congress ?Mr Charles Summer, one of the United States Commissioners; Rev. Theo dore Parlfer ; Mr List an eminent lawyer; Dr. Hanson ; Rev. Dr. Channing ; Mr Charles B'owdigc and others, who interest ed themselves in preventfiig us from ar resting Craft's, are all abolitionists. As to the friends we met in tuston, I want to sa'v, I found Mr Hamlin Will is (a broker) a true friend and feel under many obliga tions to hi'm'. There were also' Mr Thayer; Mr Thomas, my attorney?' Mr Patrick Riley, one of the Deputy Marshal Is ; Mr 1). Draper? Mr Freeman a Deputy Sheriff; the Proprietors of th United States Hotel, their Clerks' and Servants, and a Mr Ladd. To all these ' gentlemen I am under great obligations for their kindness. In reference to the Abolition sentiment in Boston, F would state this circumstance all the time the exTifement wrt's going on with me, there was1 no protection oftlra city authorities', offered me, and none turn edoutin nfy favor." But wherv Geonre Thompson, the English Abolition Lecturer was expected, a'nd a meeting was announc ed to receive him, it was" rumored that a mob' might assemble c'n his reception, and the Mayor insfantly ordered otft frhc city officers to attend and suppress any thob showing that tiVe city authorities- were ilis posed to give protectwii Wan Abolitionist, which they had withlteld from me while engaged in my Jawfuf business ; and my opinion is, if we had succeeded in arrest ing the negroes?, that they would1 have been rescued by the citrzens. In conclusion', to give a full history of my visit to Boston1 would occupy too much time and patience, i will, therefore, con clude by saying that, I went to Boston a an agent toexe6ute a lafwfu'l trust, think ing I should be protected a'nd ass;sted by the laws of rrfy country.- But, on the contrary, from the first, the laws of the Country, instead of proving a protection, were made an errgsne of cru'elty, oppres sion, injustice and abuse ; so thatmy)ife was constantly endangered and this with out the first offer of assistance from Govern ment, National, State or City. I feel that every man who has a Soffthern heart, in his bosom, and wowld maint'ffrn the honor of his countty,' shouhl sustain the' Southern Rights cau?e, by every constitutional mea sure, until our rights are acknowledged arid justice.'
