But ith a noble magnanimity that ought to have crimsoned Sumner's checks with burning-blushes, a Southern Senator (Mr. Mason,) was the foremost to express a readiness to unite with Massachusetts in measure of pro tection and redress against If ritish aggression on the Nova Scotia roast- a he wa likewise the foremost immediately afterwards1 to de nounce end resist nne of her Senator' ini quitous attempt to disturb and demolish the Fugitive Slave Law, which involves a guar-, nily, -and -the only guaranity, which the South ha for the faithful observance and en forcement of a great constitutional right es enii illy incorporated in all her relation wilh" ihe Union.
