W to decisio'n of Judge.:Woddbury S o laynigh, that there was.tin ground defre ilia the cgtiicato of Mr. Curtta. -0 rmanding Simms, preparations began to 1twindo to -convey .anm back. The brig sW Voh n hanled to the end of Lrnm i I Eaving been previously fitted up for In nmber of passengers. During t, urt House Square was tilled itb a crowd who were collected in khots, d' iig the matter, and uccasionally ;4=96g. at' the. officerd. There were a -ujnbr-ot, females ainoigat -tem. The *,roedlngs in and about the Court House re-closely %atched by the Abolitionists. At 6aitt three o'clock detachments of thcitt.watch to the number of 150, -,La ame Wth clhbs and hooks, were brought into the peighhorhood of Court Square. Tio.police force under Marshal Tukey, ame with short swords, assembled in the square. went through some evolutions. and fifly formed in a hollow square in front of "bside entrance to the Court-house. Attar all was ready word was given to the B. Marshall, and Sinins was brought - UWn, and pl-tced in the centre or the b oare. lie appeared to be i i good spirits, bis 1mbs being free from irons or haindcutlr .ofzany description. The procession was load by the U S. Marshu-i and his deputies, feowed by the armnied police. They pro. A;eded through Court and State streets, and-down Long Wharf, liollowed by about .90 abolitionists, anmong whomt was the te'. Mr. Colver. Not' the least attempt t viol eo Was. made. Mr.' olv.er and other peaso a in the - rowd occasionally denounced the proene ings, and called for the thunderbolts of heaven to be poured down upon thein. When the procession reached the wharf, tue brig Waft to be found already, with the steanmer Hornet alongside, with her steam u,; Sins was taken immediately into the cabin. The Acorn had two cannon on board to protect her from any assault on the passage. The word wvas given to let go tie fastenings, and she was soon under way. About thirty police officers accompanied the vessel as far as the steamer went. Four officers of Boston, including U. S. Deputy Marshals Savin and Byrne. ac. company the fugitive in the vessel to Savannah. Just as the vessel was about to leave the Wharf, some of the crowd sang severial hyins, such as. "From Greenland's 1ev mountaiis." "Oh! there will be mourning,' . "At the Judginetat seat of Christ," "Be Thou 0 dod Exalted high," &c. One man, just as Simmns was going below, called out to him, to preach liberty to th - aVel hitd as the brig was departing, the RO. Mr. 4loster, Orthodox Minister of Concord, made the following prayer "Almighty God, Thou seest this poor man, one of thy children, borne away by ol)l)ref hors-thou art the Friend of all who suffer wrong, and we have no hope but in Thee; that hope is still unshaken. Thy promises endure for ever, and now we beseech Thee to show Thy power and love in blessin this dear )rother, Who is carried by force to the land of whips and chains. Olt God, - make him a missionary of power, to awaken a love of justice and liberty, that shall end in the speedy overthrow of the accursed system which now causes millions of bleeding hearts. In myr.-V, lltavenly, r4F dher; do Thou des(troy )i w.:kei I sm -n r,. whith r1 -1 tae and lasting repie- -,; pity tihe wvretched man who ijo .- goes itn fetters over the waves; pity and uless his brethren in chains; ha.-sten the day wvhen all metn shall be free, and TPhine shall be the glory. - -Amen." It was just 5 o'clock whten lie left. The abolition vigilance commitittee met at 5 142, hod passed a resolution respectfulty asking the people of Massacusetts to tol [the bells in the several towns, as the intelligence roaches them, of the returnt of a fugitive slave froum this Commttonwealth. They have also appointed a meeting for public religious services on the occ asin. A person with rather loud lungs, as the procession passed down State st, recited -the events of the Boston massacre ihant oc curred ini that street before thte Revolution. sThe fugitive was wvarmnhy and comnfortably elad In garments, provided by the UI. S. MarshaL. The military in considerabile numbers. wvere att their armories and Faneuil Iiall, but there was no cause to call upon them to act in the matter, and Saturday miornin.? they were dismissed fronm furthmer duty. T'he chains htave beeni takeni downt fromi the Court Hiouse, and it has resumted its * usual quiet aspect. During the night Abby IFolsomn was found lying in the street, ntear the Temple, and refusing to go home, was tkent to thme W atch-house. 'ThIe brig Acorn4 cotamintiung Nimmtne, was obliged to anchot at Nantucket lttoads on account of the north-east. Wind andl thick weather.

The ciee had attracted the.xattention of b'e whpIbuiftthugliths tel iaph. t tad rdgaded as a test.. It wastProclaimade n a Boftbn pilper the day beforo, that the, lave would bu givenl up, and tsken away n opEnday. But this was not-dinei. There re many Northern men here WhIto desired he law to be enforced, nnd'were confident hat its supremacy would be completely 'indicated on this occasion. We have not l0en one who hai not expressed his disgust or regret at ite nocturnal proceeding of he government. For our own part, we think lte officers of he United States, from the President (own, lave done their duty in this case faithfully -and we think it was better for the federal rovernment. to retreat by night, than to be >eaten in daylight, by the people or the mob >f Boton. We are not uninindful of the necessity of aw, or of the duty of enforcing it agtainstit nere rioters or mobs, or factions. But the -osistance :made to the fugitive slave law, s that of tof L people or inany .tates. In such a case bloodshed is no remedy. It ,vould probably imako things worse. Wheni me people, or one section, diffiers fromn mother, force and blood are uncertain and uitneisonable.arbiters; and we should be sorry to see them resorted to in any event, and never until all other nodesol adjustment fail. It is now w%-e suppose, obvious enough that-if the fugit ve slave law can be executed oily by stealth, at great expense, delay and danger, it is worse than useless as a i rac. tical reniedy. Where attempts are made to enforce it. the fugitive either esenpes, or is delivered up in secret. If then he is taken home, or taken any where In the South to tell the story of Northern sympathy, aid, and re sistance, his influence would be worse than a half dozen Aholitionists. If the slaves of the Stouth underst and thit in case they escape to tho North. they will have all the immunity resulting from the chanuces of eluding arrest, of ample legal pettifogging if arrested, and of rescue before and after trial, whey then thes object of the l coil. ti tutional provision on this suliject is sub. stantia;ly dele.ted-the compact is broken. It is stated in two of the Northern papers, that the Ilgitive, Sits, was purchasted in Boston, and after being forimally renoved, is to be restored. If this is the case.the Compromise is cry much as usual, when the South is concerned. The law is cifUrced, in form, by night, and the fugitive is to tie free any how. I Iis owner gets the mnoney, as Texas did. The South takes the consequences of pro ceedings that render her propL~rty in this respect more insecure than it was prior to the passage of this law. Such, however, is the cause that befalls had faith. For this law the border Ststes of the South, deaerted the rett. Ileotild their reward. Thee thimis nmst be naakinig it rather inore and iiiore obviois to lhe mnost obtuse and(] insensible subiitmisionist, that great questions are not to tie settled by shutilhing, subterfuge amid treachery.

Peaceful nen, in the pursuit of their lawful businesm. ire set upon thro agh revenge or desire of lunder, of, arresting their steps to give aid o one in extremity frm the hand of vio. once, become themselves the victims of the wrath they had endeavored to stay; the air resounds with the cry of foul murder done he crowds throng to see and punish the wrong, but, though impatient and aroused to indignation, a rude justice seems to rise ibove and triumph over their fierce pas. dons; they satisfy themselves by investi lation of the offendei's guilt, and then, in pro 3ouncingfi; dread doom, they but antici pate the sentence which, inevitable thnugl Ielayed, the tribunal of the law would pasi ispon them, We cannot justify such acts; when me take the law into their own hands they as umne a fearful responsibility; when they without the authority of law, punish vio lence, besides the dangerous consequences to society, reflection brings doubt and often times remorse in its train, and their wholc lives would not be long enough to assun themsclves that they too had not done grea wrung. But we think those more excusable, who in a new and unsettled country, anticipate tie law by violently and extra.judicially in Ilicting what is apparent justice, ti an tihos ivhno, in a land of law and order, deliberate y violate both natural justice and enacte law. The Sacramento lynchings are wor Ay deeds when compared with the riotoub resistances of the law in Boston. To whici class of offences should Northem IHnor give greater prominence of exposure, upon vhich should they inflict the severer casti. ration ?
