. A SQUABBLE. :
1 1 " There has arisen a little squabble between the
Editors of the Standard and the Journal of this
i place. The latter does not walk handsomely in
the traces. But the thing must be done; the Jour-
nal has yet to learn, it seems, tbt tho exercise of
private judgment is not tolerated among the'un
terrlflcd. "Our party itour country," is the motto,
and of that party in North Carolina the Standard
is the Koran. ,.
( ; THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW.
There is no inconsiderable degree of violence,
ia words, mtnifetted by the defeated and discom
fited abolitionists of Massachusetts. Some time
ago, they asserted that the law could not and
would not be enforced. Now they propose to bend
all their energies to a repeal of the law. This is
a Tery desirable issue. Most of the elections
which hare inrolred this issue at the North hare
resulted in favor of the compromise. As to the
enforcement of the law. the South requires It to
be done in vindication of the Supremacy of the
Government and it will require that it remain on
the Statute Book in support of clear and- unques
tionable constitutional rights.
We suppose the question is now' settled, as to
whether the negro mobs of Boston are to govern
the country, or the "supreme law of the land,"
The abolitionists have rather backed out from
their position, and instead of inviting fugitives to
r jmain, are making provision for their departure.
The New Bedford Mercury of Monday saya : We
are pleased to announce that a very large number
of fugitive slaves, aided by many of our moat
wealthy and respectable citisens, have left fo
Canada, and parts unknown, and that many mors
are in the way of departure. The utmost sympa
thy and liberality prevails towards this class of
or inhabitants." So it seems that the "wealthy
and respectable citizens" are not so valorous as
they supposed themselves to be, though they are
much more liberal than their neighbor expected.
The most cut-throat concern in all the Matter,
is a "religious" newspaper, edited by two young
clergymen. They advised that "it was their right,
and might be their duty, to resist the Fugitive
Slave Law even unto death, and U shoot down the
tfem tch aUrmpt to arrest them 4f it," speaks
of the surrender of 8ims at Boston, as a "trage
dy," an "outrage," and "cflme against God ;"
anlof the Police employed to preserve order and
prevent a rescue, aa'hlred bullies." The paper
is called the "Independent," and proves to the
atifaction of its own editors, that the conveyance
of Sims back to his master was an act of piracy.
We presume the South will eare nothing about
the stuff and nonsense uttered by abolitionist lea
ders, so lon a the law is enforced. The matter
has len tested, and we hope it will be tested
, again the first opportunity that offers. The fa
natics must nof only be defeated, but assured of
the acorn and contempt of the people of the whole

increased seal and renewed energy. Unless it be
" concluded to give Alabama over, an easy and a

' speedy tction on the part of the conseratWc

I)EaSia: Trusting fhat your readera will Rot
be alarmed by seeing a letter in your eolumns
bearing date from the place which I suppose most
of them consider tho head qwkn of fanaticism,
I take the libesty to ssy a few words not in de
fence of this ancient city, but in explanation of
some matters and thingi which like a ship in a
fog-look largest at a distance.
. I infer from the tone of your remarks, when yoa
speek of this end of the Union, that you consider
us all not only Abolitionists, but propagandists ;
you think that we consider, slavery great wil,
and a great wrong, and that w are doing, and
mean to da, all on to abolish it.
That w have our opinions with regard to this
institution, and those opinions are against it, all
the world knows. The people , of Ne w England
hare nothing to conceal on that point, and indeed
they do but onlertajn the same opinion that is
held by all the civilised world where slavery docs
not exist. So far aa abstract opinion goes you are,
therefore, right, .',
That Massachusetts, is apparently under the1
rule of a party which makes opposition to slavery
a test question, la true ; but it la only apparent

But the leaders of this party are office seekers;
their desire for power and profit is Ineir ruling
passion ; and finding, as tbey had found by re
peated experiments, that the idea of raising their
faction to a majority was utterly' hopeless, the
next move was to unite with another minority,
equally-hungry for spoils ; and this union was ef
fected with the democrats, vot on the base of aboli-
tionim, but under pretense of making some radi
cal changes in the modes of electing Senators,
Representatives, and of effecting sundry reforms
in state offices. This union succeeded In secur-

-;-J:v.'-iMfc re, noiDy:fewdi88entlente among a people sensitive as our
its own intrinsic strength for the combined forces
rallied only about one third of tho voters but by
the inactivity and divisions of the whigs ; 60,000
votes failed to appear at tho ballot boxes, and
you may set it down at an unquestionable fact
that not one of them is au abolitionist. Thus you
perceive that our 8tnte Government is in the
hands of two minorities united, both numbering
perhaps 70,000 out of the 180,000 voters in the
State, and therefore whatever ultra measures they
may adopt can by no means bo considered as the
acts of a majority of tho poopie of Massachusetts.
The free soil portion are undoubtedly "abolition
ists," but even of them a very large portion mean
to keep within constitutional limits In their agi
tation ; that is to say, they admit that the slave
States have constitutional rights in this matter of
slavery which the free States are bound to re
speot. Here you will perceive, that when the
state of parties Is (airly analysised the real aboli
tionists those who go for freedom to the black
rsce at all hasards are found to be very small ; I
uouui, inueea, u nicy reany nuraoer any more
now than they did ten years ago. For the rest of
our people, the great majority have said, and stili
say, the area of slavery shall not be extended by
converting free teritory to that use. But that
question was settled by the last Congress and is no
longer considered a hone of contention ; and in
fact were it not for the fugitive slave law our "free
soilers" would have no capital left to trade upon
To that law the whple 27,000 are bitterly hos
tile, and supported in their hostile position to it by
a portion of their new allies, the democrats. A por
tion of the whigs are also opposed to this law, but
mainly for the reason that it docs not provide for
jury trial, and not becau so they are disposed to
refuse to the slave states the right and the pow
.e to reclaim fugitives If that provision had
been incorporated into the law there would have
been but little fault found with it here, and I am
inclined to the opinion that under such a provis
ion it would have been easier to carry it into ef
fect. The apparent opposition of the law in this
city grou? out of legal finesse. Lawyers are re
tained to defend, and of course they leave no
stone unturned In their endevers to obtain delay
to save their client and to tarn, their fete. This
must be expected as a matter of course ; but the
cue once decided there is no more real danger
of a rescue by the people than there would be in
your place. This point was thoroughly tested in
the last case. Our fanatics did all they could to
bring about such a result but it was a total failure;
thuy could not get up a Aoy of resistance even
among the negroes, and yow piay depend on it
they are so well satisfied of the real temper of
oar citizens of their determination to respect and
tutfainall laws, at all hazards that they will
never talk about resistance again. I should like to
say more, and on some other topics, but I have
come to the end of my paper, as you perceive, and
therefore must end my letter,
CURIOUS RELIQUE8.

antiquated specimen of the human skull. Its
form is peculiar, teing very low in front and run
ning upstraight behind to the height of six or
eight laches, forming quite a mound in the coro

ears is immense, and it extends upward in a slop

seen broken pieces of earthen jars, pipes, beads

0UTRAGE8 AT ACUPULCO.

teption of our Government and of Americans gen.

On the 22d of February, a passenger on board
me xennessee got into a quarrel with a boatman,
who attempted to extort quadruple price for
passage from the ahore to the steamer during the
evening, Tor whom the passenger was arrested,
and upon starting from the shore to convey him
to tho guard house, one of the guards struck him
upon the back of the head with his musket, and
wounded him very severely. Upon arriving at
the guard house the ,offlccr heard the complaint
ana set tne passenger at liberty j and when the
consul called upon the captain of the port, and
demanded satisfaction for the outrage, he justi
fied the guard in having beaten him. It should
be remarked, at the same time, that the boat in
which the passenger was embarking was the cap
tain s DoavwO'cn alter dark, has a monopoly of
the business
On the 28d, s Capt. J. D. Howson, of the Brit-
en oar jbeonarc Debom, was about starting
from the shore with somo of his crew, a soldier of
the guard rushed into the water, and beat one pf
the seamen with his musket over the head and
face, wounding him so severely, that, he was ta
ken on ahore and conveyed to the b,08pita$nsen
sible, and his life is despaired of.
un mo xn, as jw. Isaac PmittJ, (formerly of
the steamer Northerner,) one of the most peacea
able inoffensivo men in the world, was quietjy
walking fn the street, with his bands in his pock

from the butt of a musket of one ofaq armed
guard of six or eight men who were passing by.
Not a word had been, goid, and the outrsge was
without the least provocation whatever. The
Amerjcau Consul has taken all these cases in
hand, and demanded satisfaction ; and, if summa
ry and severe castigation is not inflicted upon tho
guilty, revolution and bloodshed will be the re
sult. By a recent ordinance, foreigners are pro
hibited from landing with or carrying arras upon
their persons, and at the same time, an armed
guard ta perambulating the streets, plaza and
shore, and instead of being the conservators of
the peace, are in nearly every case, themselves
the aggressors. It is high time that a naval vessel
was stationed in Acupulco, to protect American
citizens and their property. There is no British
Consul t here, and the American Consul has his
hands full of business, io endeavoring to preserve
the peace and protect foreigners ; and his pa
tience ia well-nigh exhausted with attempting to
restrain Americans from taking the matter into
their own hands for settlement.

SIMM3, THE FUGITIVE SLAVE AT HOME.
"A recent number of. the' Savannah Republican
gives tLe follJaing : account of the situation, of
Sjmms at home : . ,
-The boy Toia Grimes, (aJiaj, Eimmj) belonging
to James Potter, Eiq., is the son of Minds, a
colored woman, now living here. Minda was giv
en to the late Mrs. Potter by her grandmother;
and, in order to. gratify this servant, Mr. Potter
consented to give her children th,clr time, i or
der to enable them to h ara trades, so that they
might resile, near their mother and purchase
their freedom, the price of which was -fixed at a
very low figure, A brother of Tom, was in the
same situation as himself, and ran away to Ohio,
but was caught in Tennessee, and brought back,
and ts now at regular wok in town. Tom learn
ed his trade of Mr. Short, master builder in this
cjty.and could get ft ora Mr. Short, or any one
else, $1,50 a day for every day. that he chose to
work. During the two past-years, he has paid
his master only : one month's wages, ($10,) and
this was done by the Intercession and entreaty of
his own mother. Hence It appears that the hon
est acquisition of bis freedom was a matter of
easy accomplishment the work, say, of two or
three years. But, freed from the wholesome re
straints of regular labor, he has chosen to, try tha
eouree of folly and wickedness.
Altogether, we think that, if the psueda-philan-,
thropists of Boston are ever, by any chance, in
the habit of hearing the truth, the esse of Tom
will give them cause of thoughtful consideration,
Mr. Potter, the master of the fugitive, was a per
sonal friend of the late Harrison Gray Otis ho is
well known to the Ron. Samuel A. Appleton, of
Boston, now member of Congress, snd to other
citizens of that place. We neod hardly add, that
In all the requisite of honesty, benevolence,
Christian charity, and in all jthe other virtues
which adern the character of a gentleman, a good
citizen and a patriot, he leaves the very best (if
there be any best in such category) of the Boston
agitators, at an, immense distance behind him."

CHAPLIN TAKING UP COLLECTIONS.
It was confidently stated by the Baltimore pa
per, some timje since, that Chaplin, "the negro
thief, would not be permitted to escape unwhipt
of justloe, through the forfeiture of bail, but that
he would be demanded by Governor Lowe, as a
fugitive from justice. Since that time the Mary
land authorities have seemed to slumber over the
matter but Chaplin appears to be wide awake,
and his sympathizers are insolently trumpeting
ont his whereabouts and his proceedings, evi
dently undismayed by, or incredulous as to the
intentions of the Governor of Maryland.
The Syracuse (N. Y.) Journal gives the last
bulletin of his progress through the West, for the
purpose of reimbursing those who aided him to
bafflo the punishment which his audacious and
murderous act had exposed him to. Had he been
a petty-larceny scoundrel, without friends or
means, he wou.ld long since have suffered the
penalty of his misdeed; but Abolition spreads
her shield over his head, and tho offended justice
of Maryland receives but a pecuniary plaster for
the loss pf the person of the criminal :
"W. L. Chapljq, bufter luown as the "abductor
of two slaves, the property of Congressmen Toombs
and Stephens," passed through this city several
days since, on his way West. His immediate
destination is the State of Ohio ; on the "Reserve"
of which, we understand, he is tq hold a series of
anti -slavery meetings, with the object of present
ing his case to the people, and of receiving contri
butions for the relief qf hjs bondstneu, It is, per
haps, nqt generally known that several of his
personal friends deypted their entire means in his
behalf, and by the forfeture of his bail, are left
peniless. It is tq indemnify them that a series of
"Chaplin meetings" have fcpen. held in this State
and Massachusetts, and that like meetings are to
be held n Ohio, and perhaps some of the neigh
boring States. It was a qqcstiqn witlj Chaplin
and his friends, whethei he would be safe in Obp,
in the event of a requisition from the governor pf
Maryland. Thoy dqi;bt the "soundness" of Gov.
Wood, bu,t think that Chapljn wH be beyond the

Having an opportunity to wrjte you b.y a vessel
sailing to-day for Key West, I accordingly embrace
it, and send what little news is stirring at this date
That another project for the invasion of this is
land is in contemplation there is not a shadow of
doubt, and that the Captain-General is well aware
of the fact is equally certain, from the vigilance he
displays in exercising with the greatest precaution
and skill the gigantic means of defence at his dis
posal. Since the departure of Mr. Clay, the gates
of the different military posts recently orected
here and elsewhere are closed to all except those
who are entrusted with a pass or countersign from
the Grand Secretary, and upwards of twenty thou
sand men are under arms at night, ready at a mo
ment's warning to march in any direction.

king will be abandoned ; for if the invaders should
secure a binding, and places very map, woman and

DEATH OF AN INDIAN CHIEF.
Da-o-ne-ho-ga-weh, a chief of the Sonecas, died
at Tonawcnda, in this State, on Friday of last

the whites by the name of John Blacksmith. He
was a most determined and fearless defender of the
rights of brethren against the eDcroachnwrtta of
the "pule faces," and bis name may he found to
several important treaties at Washington. He
was always a zealous opponent of the Land Spec

their f reatest chief since thtfdeath ofRed Jacket.
We learn that his place will be filled next fall,
