NORTHERN JUSTICE. ' The M'asliingtim (Pa.) Reporter attempts a reply to our article of week before last, in which U0 BrmiimeH that U,Jtl,r nrittl Cnr ile Ah..lifLin m n.T effectually prevent tic excailvm of the law, the Disunion tendencies ; and draws a distinction be tween the provisions of the colislitulion for the de livery 01 lujjmve slaves ana thedufyoj metres Slates iu respect to such delivery, which outrages everything like justice mil moulity. In the ar tide to which en-.f nipd. th Kdilor counselled Tfsittatux to ti e law, and declared that it could nut be executed in Washington county ; and in a subsequent issue, in the same spirit, and in accord ance with the same counsel, he declared that "the Pcnnsylvaniitii who rould thns tamely betray (i. t. obey the law mid surrender the fugitive,) those who fleeing frmn oppression, sought temporary shelter beneath his roof, has reached a depth of villainy never retched before. "Our blood iiins cold when we think our native State can produce such monsters," The sacred duly of lmrboring and concealing runaway negroes ; ill other words, defrauding and depriving Southern men of their property; is here inculcated ; and all who will not do itare villains monsters' can csoencm nnigs nave aiiyining in common, any political principle, even, with (lis Whigs of Washington county, Pa. ifsucheen limenls of one of their organs is endorsed and act ed on by them ? Not only the law, but the coiufi tutsan, is a dead letter as to that county : to the State, if the counsels of this Editor prevail ; and practical nullifieatum is enjoined as a sacred duty. We rjnotethc language of the Editor now, from ilia last article : "While we acknowledge the constitutional obligation on this subject we must claim that it be so admibistered as to protect the richls of the free people of color of the Northern Slates, and give a fair and impartial hearing to the alleged fugitive. These we do tart think are secti'ed in the lute Act of Congress. The pro. ceedings are entirely too sitiftrfmf, the evidence reauired not sufficiently enafifed but tod loose arid indefinite, the trial by jury deified; and the writ uf Habeas Corpus II le greatest sale guara to liber ly4 with-hcld from the alleged fugitive." How foolish such a distinction I 'WeacknOwi edge the constitutional db'ligition on this subject :' but "the Pennsylvania wlib c'blild thus basely be; tray those who, fleeing from bppression, sought temporary alieltcr beneath his roof, has reached a depth of villainy nevef reached before," &c. 5 : We rcneat, that. Upon the enforcement of this law, in good faith, depends theUnion of these States. There is not there never has been, but one sen timent in the South upon the subject. If Northern men nullify it ; obstruct its execution under any auch pretences ; or set up against the constitution of their country any "higher law , of it tins itor pleases, "sacred duty ;" which conflicts with the right of the South, it w ill be the duty of the citizens of the Southern States to protect them elves; and ail Ihtguiltof Disunion will rest up c the North. ,Ve enter into ro argument with this Editor ppon the tat;; our posit ions forbid such discussion But he panders to the spirit which, sooner than any other, will rend this Union into fragment.. We have heretofore stood with him in the Whi; ranks, laboring as we thought for the National good. We stand with him, and all like him, no longer. If tiie Northern people love free negroes and runaway negroes better than they do the U- nion of the States, (not to say tho citizens or the Southern States,) the sooner our political connec tion ceasr with them the better. constitution of the United Stales is no longei of any value to us, and the Southern States inust provide for their own safety: We have strength enough, spirit enough and wisdom enough to do it. IT The Fayetterille Observer concludes an ar tide on this subject a follows: "The Whig convention at Utica, N. Y.4a convention called solely because the former convention atSyacause had endorsed Seward's course, and for the purpose of repudiating that endorsement, met and adjour ned without saying one word about the Fugitive slave law, though it approved of the other com promise measures. This om ission is a fearful sign that the law cannot be sustained in that great State. Another of equally evil portent, is the letter of Mr. Hunt, the candidate of that conven tion, in which he declares that the law "could not have been well considered, and needs essentia modification a declaration at war with the well known fact that the bill was before Congress for mouths, was fully discussed, and many votes taken on proposed amendments, The conclusions to which we are forced, by these and many other signs at the North, contrary to our original and strongly cherished hope and belief, are.rtar the law cannvtbe sustained ( that, even if it be not repealed, it cahnot be enforced. In the few cases where the courts and officers will do their duty, mobs, black and white, stand ready to defeat their action, or to deter the owner from invoking it. Well, what then is to be done 1 We do not hesitate to say, that tlie Union cannot stand, ana ought not to stand, if this, the only one ol the se ries of measures which is of anj real value to the South, is either repealed or nullified. To say noth ing of the baseuess of allowing a scries of acts to be passed, with the understanding that they were each and all part of a compromise of confiic ting claims, and then that the stronger party should stand to all that had been conceded to itself and repeal the only one it conceded to the other party to say nothing of this, the South has a con stitution! I right to this law, and to its faithful exe cution, a right which neither its honor nor its in terest will permit it to relinquish at any hazard, even of dlstinion itself. - " It is with great reluctance that we hare admit ted the above conclusions. They are, however, forced upon us by the state of things at the North, and it is bur duty to let our readers at the South see, as we see it, what is going or. there. If South ern papers have any readers at the North, we would add, that it is due to them to be warned of the fatal tendency of their movements." Washington, Oct. 24th, 1850. The Baptists of Michigan, iit a convention of that sect, in that State, resolved terrible things a- gsiust the Fugitive Slave Law condemning all who voted for it, pronouncing it an edict of Satan and calling on every body to disobey it. This done, they collected thirty-two dollars as a donation for the Americn Bible Society, and then appropriated that su.n to making Gen. Cass a life member of that society. Lewis Cass, you will remember, vo-1 ted for the Fugitive Slave Bill ! Of such inconsis tency are religionists, who meddle in politic con stantly guilty. , Boston, Oct. 27 About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, R. J. Knight, who is alleged to be a slave catcher from Georgia, was arrested by Depu ty sheriff Rugg on a writ for slander. The writ alleges that Mr. Knight charged Wil liam Crafts, a ciliten cf Massachusetts, with be ing a slave, to the damage of his business and detriment of his character, in the sum of $10,000. Mr; Knight was taken to Mr. Rugg's office , where a great crowd soon assembled, composed of whites and blacks abuse was heaped upon Mr. K.,but no violence offered. Mr. Knight, fter remaining n custody about half an hour, obtained bail in $10,000, and was set at liberty. This is said to be one movement of a series by the opponents of the fngitive slave law to render its execution as obnoxious possible. The committee of vigilance have had several sessions, and have, it is said, resolved to invite tlx suspected fugitive slave-seekers to leave the city forthwith. So far no attempt has been made to arrest a fugitive. The warrants lie dead in the Marshal's office. The excitement is great. Many say the law should be enforced, while others say it shall not. A number of fugitive,fearing they cannot be pro tected, have gone to Canada. Bostoh, Oct. 28. Mr. Knight, who was held to bail on Saturday, was again arrested to-day, with another Georgian named Hughes, by the Sheriff, charged with conspiracy to kidnap ne groes. They gave bonds in ths sum of $1,000 each, and were discharged. A crowd assembled around the Sheriff's office with violent intentions;. Meiers. Knight and Hughes took retuge in a car riage, which was burst open a the horses were started at full speed. THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW. The spirit of fanaticism against this la rax es hotter, and rage more fiercely at the North. We have ever been unwilling to believe that it was so wide-spread and hitter that the compromis es of the constitution would not be maintained. New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, however, are in each a state of furious excitement upon this subject, as almost to prevent the execution of the taw within their limits in future case. In New York, both panics are split upon tint subject, the Abolition section of both carrying the day for the seceder from the Syracuse Convention met at Ullca but to ratify the nomination of Wash ington Hunt, St coi.and virtually surrender (hem elves to Seeardism. May the be defeated ! and it wilt give us the greatest pleasure to chronicle it, even If worse fanatic than they are' succeed, llut they are 'all "tarred with one stick" for the Jocofoco found it impossible to pass resolutions In their convention approving of Senator Dickin son's course and we hold it neaily certain now that he cannot be re-elected to theU. 8.

But It i evident to ouf mind that he was intimidated J for he rejecWev idence which would ,havo been conclusive in any oilier courti for the Fugitive slave act provides' that (he seal of any court having one shall be e- nough to establish the competency of the proof, and is silent as to (he rime when the seal most be affixed.

The ap pointnient is an excellent one ; and we trust that public attention will now be effectively directed to this important subject. 1 1 We notice also (hatfh'e President of the United States has complied with (tie request of the Exec utive Committee of the Industrial Exhibition, that a vessel be placed at their disposal for the purpose of transporting such productions' arid specimens of manutacturing skill as (he citizens of (be United States maybe disposed to contribute. The Com monicatioo of, the Committee having been referr ed to Gov. Graham for an answer, he reported favorably, and was thereupon directed by the Pre ident to make such arrangements ai may be ne cessary to carry out the object in view, . Nullification of the Fugitive Slavs Law Great Excitement at Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 25 The city council of Chicago has passed resolutions nullifying the act of Con gress respecting the fugitive slave law, and releas ing the police from obedience to it. This actof the city authorities has caused great excitement, and last night a meeting of four or fire thousand people was held, the mayor presiding. Senator Douglas made a powerful speech, sustaining the sets of Congress in passing this bill, and also the compro mise. His spoech had a powerful effect on the meeting, and caused a change in public opinion in favor of the law, and against the act of the city council. . The Texas Ten Million. The Galveston (Texas) Civilian proposes to make very novel use of the money (o be received from the United States. It thinks that ' after paying off the debt of Texas three millions will remain. This sum is to be re ceived in the United States bonds bearing five per cent, intorest, which will yield a revenue of $150, 000 per annum nwre than sufficient to pay the whole expenses of (he State Government. This would enable Texas to do what no other State has done abolish all taxes. A DANGEROUS BEVERAGE. ' , Watet is composed of certain gasses, one of them q'uite explosive. The other sight, when.

Another Expedition Afoot. We learn that some fortnight since the steamer Apure,Capt. Wakefild, built at Philadelphia, and destined, as was supposed, for Venezuela, left Phi ladelphia secretly in the night without clearing at the custom-house and without papers. According ly orders were dispatched by (elegraph to all (he Southern ports to seize her in case she should enter any one of them. Finally, on the 1 3lh irist,, a stress of weather compelled the captain to put into Wil mington, N. C, in a very badly damaged condition. There the steamer was seized and prosecution com menced against her commander for viulating the revenue laws. Wo understand that she did not belong to Venezuela and was not destined1 for thai country. From the best information we can obtain, (and this is by ho means precise) she was on her way to St. Domingo, and is supposed to have been intended for an expedition against Cuba, of which that or some other West India island is to be the rallying place. When she was seized there were no arms nor military stores on board of her. AT. V. Tribune. . ; Steamer Atom. The New Y6tk Triftun cor rects it's report about this little steamer which has been seized at Wilmington, North Carolina. It says she did not leave (lie port Of Philadelphia se cretly : sfie has no connection with anv extradition against St Domingo, or any other country and no prosecution has been commenced against her or her officers. She is designed for the Oronoco and Apure rivers. The truth is that the Apure was seiz ed simply because she was not "cleared" at the CDS torn -house; her captain having neglected that im porta t matter. r ITEMS OF NEWS.

The PiTTSBOaa Synod of the Presby(erian Church, old school, closed its session last week without any action on the fugitive slave law. Several propositions had been introduced which distinctly declared the law void, as conflicting with the Divine law. But moderate counsels ulti mately prevailed.and the Synod adjourned without taking definite action, or resolving upon a formal expressions of opinion , as to the obligations of this law on the conscience and conduct of citizens within its jurisdiction. We learn that Mr. Cordy Alsobrook,sged about 60 years, living in the lower part of this County, committed Snicide on the 17th instant by shooting himself with a gun. He left a wife and fivecildren He was a very poor man and had lost the use of ene of his hands, which caused his mind to be greatly distressed. He had become tired of living and resolved to die. He shot himself in the pres ence of a son and daughter. The gun snapped five times before it went off. He was a peacable citi zen and good man.

"Let hinr (say his modest tutor, the Union) pro claim that he sanctioned the Fugitive Slave Law because he was satisfied that it did not violate the letter or the spirit of the Constitution !" Plain honest people, unaccustomed to the tricks of politics, would be greatly at a loss to know a sound reason why Mr. Fillmore should make sny proclamation on (he subject, after affixing his sig nature under the sanction of his cdicial oath. 1 fear the "agitations" of the last session, and loss of sleep, have disturbed the brain of the old gen tleman of the Union. He is "daft," beyond all question. Rich. Rep.
