I [ ^ From the Boston IqyTRAGEOUS VIOLATIONS 01" JUSTICE. ^Supreme Court Room was yesterday the scene of one of the most disgraceful and outrageous proceedings we ever witnessed in any Court. It arose from an attempt made by the agent of John B. il/orris,E$q., of Baltimore, to reclaim two runaway slaves. The circumstances are briefly these: Some time in June lusf, one of these slaves?Eliza Small, wo believe, aged about 30?fell in love with a free negro in Baltimore, who asked her in marriage of Mr. Morris. Mr. M. told the girl that he had no objection to her marrying, but ad1 vised her to get a better nud more likelylooking fellow than the one in question? telling her at the same time that he would prefer that she should not marry him. * ? i* .1 l Thereupon the man pursuaded ooin tier and one other slave culled Polly Ann llates to runaway. The brig Chickasaw, Capt. Henry Eldredge, was to sail lor this jnjrt on the 19th July, and in this vessel they determined to come. By some means they obtained a passage and sailed in the brig leaving the man behind, to reach Boston by some other mode. Mr. Morris iinding where they had gone, despatched Mr. Matthew Turner to Boston with a power of attorney to seize them. Mr. Turner came on, boarded the brig as she was coming up the harbor on Saturday last, found the two girls, charged them with absconding?which they readily acknowledged, and gave the reasons why?and requested the captain to detain them on board till he could get a warant for their return to Baltimore. He went 011 shore lor that purpose, and during his absence a parry of abolitionists came on board with a writ or havens corpus, n* i*_served on the tiro female slices and the colored man% who, it seems, was expected by their friends in this place, to arrive at the same time with the women. Tl?e writ was granted oil application of Samuel H. Adams, and by virtue of its aitthoritv the women were taken away, and the captain summoned belbre Judge Wilde to answer lor detaining them 011 board. [All this?be it remembered ?was belore the vessel had reached the wharf, an it was therefore absurd to charge the 4 captain with detaining the slaves;?it shows however that it was a concerted plan to prevent Mr. Morris from retaking his property, and the circumstance of the colored man's being mentioned in the writ, when he had not come on in the vessel, is an incontestiblc proof of this fact.] The captain appeared before Judge Wilde, who referred the case to Chief Justice Shaw to be de% cidcd on Monday. When the time came, ihr Court R join was thronged with negroes, with here and there a sprinkling of white people, nearly cverv one of whom was a violent abolition ; v ist. Old and young largo and small, men and women of every variety of shade, from the ebony of the full-blooded negro to the sickly yellow of tho mulatto, were there to aid in the execution of a plot to rescue the slaves in question from the Court, should the decision be in favor of tho owner. After the Court had organized, Mr. Turner made a demand for the bodies of the slaves, which was supported by A. II. Fiske, Esq., his counsel, in a short speech, in which he quoted the following section of the United States Laws as authority: * * "That when any person held *o lubor in any of the United States or either of the territories on the the northwest or south of the river Ohio under the laws thereof, sl^dl escape into any other of the said S ates or territories, me person iu whom such labor or service may be due, his agent or attorney, is hereby empowered to seize or arrest such fugitive from labor, and take him or her bclbro any judge of the circuit or district courts of the United States, residing or being within the State, or before any magistrate of the county, city, or town corporate, where such seizure or arrest sliall be made, and npon proof to the satisfaction of such judge or magistrate, either by oral testimony, or by affidavit taken before and certified by a magistrate of any such State or territory, that the person so seized or arrested doth under the laws of the State or territory from which he or slie fled, owe service or labor to the person claiming him or her, it shall be the duty of such judge or magistrate to give a certificate to such claimant, his a^cnt or attorney, which shall be a sufli o # ... cient warrant for removing the said fugitive from labor to the State or territory from which he or she fled." ? Laws of the U. S.. chap 51, sec. 3. .Mr. Sewall opposed the claim on the ground of its being necessary to obtain n warrant before attempting to detain the slaves, and slso on the general ground of its being contrary to right and to justice. (This part was greeted with a round of a p. plause by the blocks, which was with some difficulty suppressed.) The Judge then proceeded to give his opinion, in the course of which he observed that he did not consider the detention of the slaves by the captain as legal, bur with respect to Mr. Turner, the agent of Mr. Morris? ? ? ' ^ tl?on rocn \ b^cnutLKi- HJ kii* ik AKviii his place and went to the slaves, at the same time beckoning to the negroes in the rear to conic forward. Immediately a rush was made?the slaves were seized by their friends and carried out. put into a carriage and hurried off at full s|>eed. The doors and windows were immediately blocked up by the retreating negroes; and all efforts to stop the tumult proved unavailing. The Judge commanded every one to sit still, and seized the door liimself to shut tt, but he was forced back, and the negroes carried the day. As die officers were rushing down stairs endeavoring to arrest the rioters, they were maltreated by the blacks and some of them much iujured. Sheriff Huggeford was caught by the throat by two negroes, forced against the wall, his coat torn off, and he himself nearly choked. Constable Glover was kicked down stairs, and a gentleman coming up met the same f u?'. Sueh an occurrence being entirely I unexpected, there were but two or three of- j ficers in the building,?a number wholly J * inadequate to master a crowd of two or ^ three hundred blacks. A number of officers started in pursuit I. of the fugitives, hut at the last accounts ! j they had not been overtaken. They pro- j j bably took tiie road to Worcester, with the i? intention ofgettingout of the State as speed- j \ ily as possible. !

The trader could not cs- j cape; but measured the cloth, and Thrifty ! paid the money. Before he departed, ' I however, the 'merchant thus addressed .

Just as his majesty had 1 entered his carriage, to return to Neuilly, and < was passing under the gateway leading to the < quay, a young man who had placed himself on the side opposite to that of the post of the National Guard, lifted up a cane in which a pistol ] barrel had been fixed, placed it on the carriage ^ door, and fired it at the King. Louis Phillip was that moment bowing to i' the National Guards through the other window. ' j Whether the assassin felt agitated, or, as it is ' stated, was pushed while engaged in taking i ( aim, the ball did not touch the King, who, itn- , 1 mediately after the explosion, made a signal ( that he was not wounded, and ordered the 1 coach to be driven on ta Neuillv.

Whether this j arises from a want of knowledge, among the ' commanding officers, of the real character of the Indians, we do not pretend to say. One thing is however certain, that Gen. Gaines made a mistake of this kind, in reJation to the jlv Seminole difficulty, and recent events have do- ' I* nionstr'ated that a similar error has been com- j fi< nitted in reference to the present fetrife with j B !hc Creeks.

We decline complying?because the demand virtually the demand of slaveholders,?who, iving broken dottn all the safeguards of liberty their own States, inordar that slavery may t perpetuated, are now, for the fuller attainent of the same object, making the demand us to follow their example.

But ere they j?o thits iey owe it to themselves and those whom they (present, to express their utmost abhorrence ' every thing like violence ; and earnestly to lplore their.feBow citizens to abstain thereDin. ^ This publication took place on Snturday t orning. The sequel is related as follows by ' e Whig of Monday morning, (August 1.) About nine o'clock on Saturday evening, hereon four and five thousand people (as is supped) had assembled round the publication of:c of the Abolition paper, edited by James G. irney and printed by A. Pugh, at the N. E. ?rnerof Main and Seventh streets, fn a fcw omenta the types and printing materials that establishment were seen dashing out the windows into the street amid the ? iecrs of the immense mass of people below. , a very short time the windows of the build nr and every thing in the ollice were coui- | etely demolished ami stTewed about the j rects. The printing Press was? broken to : pees, and the largest piece dragged through | veral of the principal streets and then thrown to the river. Thus far every thing was done the most systematic order, and, as is be- ! ved, was tacitly countenanced by a very large imber of our most respectable citizens. At 1 & juncture, however, the names of Birncy, onaldson, ColM*, &c. (all leading abolitionists) I ere shouted by numerous voices, and imme- j ately three or four hundred of the mob rush- ! [ to Birney's dwelling. The inob were well i ovided with tar and feathers. On arriving ' Birney's house, the Abolition editor was de- j anded?his son, a youth about sixteen, came i the door and assured the multitude that his j ther was not at home. It was soon satisfac- j rily ascertained that he had left the city in j e stage for Hillsborough several hours preausly. The mob then directed their course e liousc of one of the Donaldson's (the other siding in the country) and demanded him to ? i delivered up to them. Some ladies came to edoor, and pledged their word that Donald- ! n was not at home, and assured the mulfi-; de fhat no one but ladies were in tho house, j he mob immediately departed in search of, | it did not succeed in finding him.?It was forwards ascertained that he had fled from j e house a few minutes before the arrival of1 e mob, and had escai>ed through an alley or tired street to some unknown place. The cry of "Church Alley" was now rounded through the mob. This is a place! here a quantity of black and white men and j omen, of infamous character reside, huddled j omiscuously together in five or six small build- ! gs. In a few minutes the inmates of these J retched brothels were turned into the streets, | id the windows of the buildings, and every tide which the buildings contained destroy[ and scattered to the four winds of Heaven. Here by the peaceable interference of sev c.i - U _ ai citizen?, tne progress 01 me inou wax ursted, (as was supposed finally) every body, parently, promising to disperse and go home. An hour or two afterwards, two or three mdred again collected together and dcmolish1 the window s and all the furniture of 6 or 7 nail negro houses of bad character on and I ?ar tho corner of Columbia and Elm streets, [ the part of the town commonly called the ! ramp. In the course of this attack a gun! as fired from a window of one of the houses, I id a young man by the name of Rinsey was ! vereJy shot in the hip and leg with large sized I gcon shot. The wound we believe, is not msidered very dangerous, though he was perrated with twenty odd shot. No new case of small pox has occured in avetteville. The case formerly reported has rminatedfataJly.
