The agita tators, who for the last six months have been trying to persuade themselves and others that, in! Boston, where republican intelligence is so general, and ' where rev erence for the Union and the Constitution is so deeply rooted, a law of the United States, constitutionally enacted, could not be carried out, were! deplorably disappoin ted yesterday. Yith all their handhills, their ravings, street meetings, and Tern pie meetings,1 they have found themselves small and imbecile faction, compared with the overwhelming majority of ourlaw abididing citizens, who are resolved at all hazards to. uphold the laws, the Constitu tion and the Union.! The agitators do not disguise , their dis appointment. After all their vaporings and threats of violent resistance, they find that, Boston is- not yet prepared te give herself up to the tender mercies of mob law, or to countenance treason and disor ganization. They had 'hoped better things' but now acknowledge that 'they were mis taken in the temper of the people.' Many who disapprove the most vehe mently of tlje;4av of the last session,' are firm as flint when the alternative is pre sented of a choice between violent resist ance. and the obvious duties of a good citi zen. Even those who would Agitate for the repeat 6t what' ;jfhey consider an ob jedtional nayj an unconstitutional law, draws a marked line of distinction between resistance by demonstrations of force and by 'moral suasion. I We have long been convinced,' that "when the true issue was presented - Boston woul not justify the expectations of those advocates of riot and bloodshedwho seem to have 'eaten of the insane rodt that takes the reason prisoner, but who, we apprehend, will confine their Quixotic achievements to 'words, wordy, ords.n !' f " : - . .': - Although we may deplore the occasion that has drawn forth this exhibition of the law-abiding spirit of Bostonians, it is .ifell, perhaps, that the deluded gentlemen, wljo have beep telling us for the last year that a law of the ' United States could not be executed in this city, should be undeceiv ed. We have heard of Wen, holding no influential position in 'society, who have talked and scolded themselves into the conviction nh.ino' law wquld be xramyiecl ori, id those who attempted to execute it shot down like dogi. Perhaps it is veil that fanatics of this stamp should have their eyes opened Co the true state of the case. - ThfiJrfws will be carried oat. .'Of-.this every citizen may rest assured. The most vigilant and effrcieht mqasureshaye been adopted to meet the threats of iose bad citizens who counsel violent resistance, and call upon blacks and whites to arm them selves against the agents of the law. v Thk Military.

Mobile is much excited by a recent af fray, a brief notice of which we published in our last. Mr. Jas Donaldson, a 0un2 gentleman of that city, of high reputation, has been shot by Mr. A. Andrews, a Jewel ler, and wounded so severely that his life is despaired of. It is said that Donaldson at the time of the attack,' was walking arm in arm with the wife of Andrews, when he was met by the husband, who drew a revolver and deliberately shot Don aldson down. -.The JjshandJt te. alleged; was roused to jealousy by letters received oy nis wne, wmcn were supposea to nave been written by the wounded man and by the belief that the parties were on their war-to a place' of assignation to which his wife had been allured. , - 1 - A new version was afterwards placed upon the affair, and the wife was also ar rested as accessory to the murder, and lodged in jail. Donaldson's brother has cbme out with a card, correcting alleged njis-slatements,un wMch he says i - j Tn'ej living arid the dying, only desire that tAe' truth should appear before exparte statements should be relied upon. The facs are plain, and- the story of the cir- - ' 1 - Y i . l.i ! cymsiauces w men- nave resuueu la ims oold bboded murder of a young man just eweriag upon the; ways of life.'buoy a?rtV jojoiii and hopeful, easdy told,.

The ne- gro boy who il as a very "great acquaint ance among the young men in the city.l belonging to Mr Donaldson, j has been in the habit of carrying bonquets and notes to thg woraan f dimbn J- persons, and It bable, from thispircumstances. Ah-1 t . i .t t r mi - drews connected the idea of the young master of the boy with the letters.' But why . should the sensitive husband have wreaked his sole vengeance on the inno cent when he had proof positive of lief guilty commerce with pther men and 'to that fact abundant testimony can pre duced. The unfortaniie young man alst? solemnly declares. Uiatlthe meeting in the? street was purely casus, and : that no un derstood assignation was made on his parti nor can he conceive how such a statement-! could have originated, i , V The statement of the (Tribune is defect- ive in the assertion tbit only the pistol was used.

We see that George Thompson, British member of ..Parliament and his sable yoke fellow, Frederick Douglas, have been late ly admonishing the Fugitive Slaves in Can-ada,--where, it seems, the latter got but cold comfort to evacuate that land of sym pathy and force their, way back into the United States.' It will be truly a formid able invasion! Bat invasions, however formidable require a Commissiariat; and have need to be strong in the belly as well as able in? the head. If we may judge from the following,"this one will want one of the, main. sinews of war, and be weak in the larder. " ..
