Dear Watchman : A mass meeting of the colored population of the Empire city, was held in the Park on Saturday afternoon. The two principal objects of the meeting were to open, ly disavow any regard Jot the Fugitive Slave Law, and to welcome the Baltimore fugitive slave, Hamlet, on his restoration to freedom. Hamlet, you will recollect is the negro who left his mistress in Baltimore about two years ago came to this city and has been running at large ever since ; until the new law was passsed, when he was seized, and I believe the first one carried back to his owner under that law. Experience bavins taught the fellow that he could not belter his condition here, be was well enough satisfied to return to his mistress ; lor he said himself that he runaway from her through the persuasions and promises of cer tain Abolitionists, who failed to do any thing for him after they had got him off. lhere was considerable speechifying while the meeting lasted,? and the darkies were all advised to arm themselves with Bowie knives and revolvers and to defend their liberty with their lives. Upon; the whole it was a rich scene, and partook fully, both of the ludicrous and ridiculous. The negro here is tbe negro still; and a man might as well try to make the lion wear a pleasing countenance or a mule sing to the tune of Old Hundred as to make him anything else. If the North would let the South and the ne. groes alone, and sympathize with, and do some thing more for, their poor Irish servants, it would be better not only for the two sections of the country, but fori the negroes themselves. Northern men rail out in voices of thunder against the institutions of African slavery, yet they take advantage of the inabilities of the Door oppressed sons of Ireland, and make slaves (or servants as they call them) of them, and no one ever even whispers a word in dis approval ol it. I know it is a current report in the South that the Northern people attend to all their farms and household affairs them selves, but it is not so : it is done by their Irish servants, who being among them, and not being able to do otherwise, are obliged to accept of such offers as the owners of property eel disposed to make them. As for my part, I hmkl bad, excepting tbe color, just as leave be a Sambo or Dina in the South, as a Patrick or Rosa at the North. The difference between the position of either, would not I think be more in point of importance than that. "Twixl tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee. "Yours truly, A. P. THE pREAT UNION MEETING. Mobile has Spoken ! and Her Voice is for Ihe Union ! The meeting on Tuesday, the proceedings of which will be found in our columns this morning, was acknowledged by all to have been tbe largest political meeting ever held in Mobile, lhere is no mistaking this demon stration. A large majority of the voters of Mobile county were present and put their seal of reprobation on the odious doctrine of seces sion and another schemes for the dissolution of the Union. Under the broad banner of the Union, Whigs and Democrats met harmonious ly together, forgetting all party differences, and pledged themselves to each other to make com mon cause in defence of the constitution as it is and the Union as it is. We have no room to-day for comment on this glorious meeting. Our columns are too much occupied, and we shall defer to another occa sion the remarks we intended to make. We cannot omit to say, however, that tbe speech of Judge Hopkins was one of tbe ablest argu ments to which we ever bad the pleasure of listening. We are promised a full report of it, when we shall take great pleasure in laving Tt before our readers. The number present at this great meeting was estimated at 1500 to 2000, and they were all Union men. Our opponents kept away, and 1 T . i maae every enori in their Dower to nrerent i - r others from guing. ; But it was of no avail. Tbe people were there.

The Tennessee Democracy are not afraid to shout for joy" upon the passage of bills which are just to the whole country, and which saved the Republic" : MobUe Adv. The Sound of Joy. What is that we hear? It is the deep. toned roar of a cannon, pro claiming the joy of our citizens, without dis tinction of party, that Congress has done its duty and saved the Republic. What heart does not swell with pride and exultation ? Whose feelings are so cold that he does not re spond with enthusiasm to the glorious music ? Thank God the fire of patriotism is burning brighter and brighter. Thank God this is a jubilee which towers high above party. Thank God we are a Tennesseean, and Tennssee ans are rejoicing. May the same spirit per vade every State in the Union. Ready to do every thing which may strength en the ties already existing between the two States of I ennessee and South Carolina, tbe People of Tennessee want no more agitation no more Conventions. Instead ot a fire. eating Convention to condemn the action of Congress, and to discuss once more tbe necessity of" cast- ing cannon and moulding bullets, both parties here are now making preparations to hold a ju bilee to welcome name thq men who have done their duty in peaceably settling those difficulties which threatened to overthrow the Republic. This alone should be enough to convince agitators that this is not the place for further action for plots to bring about revolutions ! will they not take heed and abandon those wild schemes, which, if persisted in, must end in their certain overthrow which must bring up on them disgrace and infamy, as enemies to their country, as plotters for the destruction of all that gives it importance among tbe nations of the earth ?

No particulars of the robbery have been re ceived ; but, if lbe entire mails enumerated were stolen, money and drafts to a large amount must have fallen into he bands of tbe robbers, and it would seem proper tbe bankers, brokers, and business men generally should be upon. the look-out for the stolen funds.

ANTI-FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW MEET- ING. Boston, Oct. 15. There was a large meeting last night in Faneuil Hall of citizens, in opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law. The Hon. Charles F. Adams presided. A letter was read from the Hon. Josiah Quincy, Senr, stating his inability to be present from physical in6rmity. He thought that ihe new Fugitive Slave Law would be as inoperative in .Massachusetts as was the law of 1793. He counselled the fugitives to remain quiet ; that the sentiment of Massachu setts was undoubtedly against the law. Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips, James A. 15nggs ot Cleveland. Ohio, Wm. B. Spoon- er, merchant of this city, Charles Redmond, Theodore Parker, and Rev. J. M. Colver, ad dressed the meeting. a series ot resolutions were unanimously adopted, condemning tho law as unconstitution al, and advising the fugitives to remain here, as here is no fear that they will be taken back to bondage. The fugitives who had fled, were advised to reltfrn ! Near the close of the meeting, when the Hall was about half full ; a resolution proposed by the Rev. Mr. Colver, that constitution or no constitution, law or no law, we will not allow a fugitive to be taken from Massachusetts, was adopted. A large committee of vigilance was anooint. ed. The Baptists of New York on the Fugitive Slave Law." The New York State Baptist Convention, which met at Brookport on ihe 9th inst., Rev. Gibbon Williams in tbe chair, passed a series of resolutions repudiating the fugitive slave law as contrary to the spirit of the Declaration of National Independence, and opposed to the direct grants of the Constitution to every citi zen, and to the Law of God? And as such, they pledge themselves not voluntarily to aid by any means whatever, in giving effectiveness to the law, for the speedy repeal of which they will do everything that is in their power. RIOT AT CAMDEN. There was much excitement at Camden, N. J. on Sunday and Monday, in consequence of a mobol negroes rescuing a colored fellow, charg. ed with stealing, from an officer, they believing him to be a fugiiire slave. It was as much as the Mayor, Sheriff and police could do, to pre. vent a violent mob. A police officer bad a pistol presented at his head, and another had a large knife drawn upon him. Several colored per sons, who assisted the officers, had subsequent ly to flee for their lives from the fury of tbe mob. The thief was re-captured, and three of un icauerj in ine rioi arrested. Ihe excite ment coniiues alarming, and fears of a further outbreak are entertained. Ball. Clipper.

Designe, who desired to procure 11 alliance for bis son, a young man of the- finest prospects, five feet in height, and a passible per former on the violin. " I shall accomplish jow object," said M. de Foy, a noble heiress niece of aji ancient peer of France, who will possess a fortune of 350,000 Irancs." Mag nificert !" exclaimed M. Designe, with enthu siasm. " You shall receive 10,000 francs il the lady is won. The agreement is made, and shortly after tbe marriage is celebrated. But, oh! the baseness of mankind M.deFoj is refused his pay, father and son alleging tbst the contract was an immoral one, and not bind ing in law or conscience. Hence has arises the lawsuit, the details of which are given at some length in the Courier des Elat Unis. Sufficient for us to give tbe result. M. de Foi has obtained a verdict for the full amount of hii claim, 10,000 francs. A Lost Child Found.
