Boston, Oot. 25, 1850, ‘There is great excitement here, in consequence of it ‘vecoming known that the United States Marshal had ‘warrants in his hands for the arrest of some fugitive e@laves. No sooner was it announced than the court ‘house was surrounded by the negro population, who evinced their determination to resS@> #®e law to the ‘utmost, evem if insurrection and bloodshed should be ‘the consequence.

Yesterday was a day long to be remembered, as one of the most exciting inthe history of our city— consequent upon the opening of the Maryland Agricultural Fair and Cattle Show. The city is thronged with strangers to such extent, that every public house is overrun, whilst thousands have been accommodated in private houses. | This Fair has undoubtedly taken off the palm from the recent fair at Albany, in the extent and superiority of the display of animals, productions, end ioplaeente—a0 is readily admitted by thore who were present at Albany. The enclosure covers six acres of ground, and the stalls of the cattle extend all around its circumference, there — being not less than 500 present, besides sheep, pigs, and poultry of every description. A number ot fine Puildinge have been ereeted within the ea- closure, for the display of articles of agriculture, refreshment rooma, &¢., whilst the display of agri- culture! implements—a large portion of them mov- ie — and in full operation—is traly mag- the : of the society, at 10 o'clock yeater- day morning, presented a seene never before wit- | nessed in this city; there being not less thantwen- | ty thousand persons present, whilst a stream of omnibuees vehicles continued throughout the , day to pour in their additional thousands, until the enclosure of six acres, with the grounds surroand- ing it, were literally thronged.

Dr. H., for we go nowhere, and we are a great traveller, where the New York Herald does not meet our view. The other journals of your city are known but a few miles from home; they are the organs of cliques and clasees.

Oar remark, perhaps, will not be apprehended, without some explanation. We mean, then, to say, that in all that pertains to the conveniences end utilives of our material hfe, the Bostonians are the most po- sitive of men; they have a most lively faith, an unshekable confidence in their various pecumary speculation: profound conviction of their suc- They Tuilroads, and create them; they build up cities and villages with magical rapiduy ; and will risk a whole fortune ia a single ship, an send it away on a trading voyage to the ends of the earth, Without a doubt that it will return to them inci dan hundred fold! With regard to the outward, earthly and temporal, they are positive, earnest, and belie } with regard to the spiritual, they are negative, cold, We do not say they are infidel—this would be a charge we dislike to prefer egainst the city of the Muritans.

The sermons, many of them, are chaste and well written, some of them are elegant and beautiful, but all are negative, non committal, spiiitless. Mi ny of the greatest facts of religion are spoken of doubtingly, what may or may not be ; and, instead of the strong affirmation of postive faith, we hear clergymen epeak of the future life “something which we are permitted to hope for.’ But Boston will be more serious, positive, and believing, in another age; and even to- day, with all her shortcomings, she is a great, intelligent, and enterprising city, and sustains herself nobly emong the cities of the earth We are sorry to be obliged to say that free- soiliem, and all the elements of disunion and enareby, are flourishing here in the wildest luxu- riance. Too many of the people seem to be be- wildered by that new revelauon made by your Mr. Seward, before the American Senate, viz :— That the individual conscience ts impaseible, and consequently greater than the state, chureh, of law. We have ever deprecated the growth of these indivi in our country, which must end in destroying all social uaity, avd in the surrendering all politreal cies. The reformers (so called) have tong be promulgating these meerable nov andnot a tew of the people of those eastern Stetes, have come to think that all the duties they owe to so- ciety, to the State, aye, to Heaven itself, are eub- ordinate to the duties which each one owes to himeelf.

In matters of religion, it is the voice of the assembly—the ecclesia church. In matters of society, it is the voice of the people—not the indi- vidual—expressed through the constitution and laws! The constitution of a society is the con- science of the people who compose that so- ciety. It ie the general sense of the citi- zene—an expression of what seems to them to be best, purest, truest.

Jt 1s painful to see how far and broad these deso- lating doctrines have spread through this commu- nity, Itis a consolation, however, to know, that allare not infected; that there are stil] many pa- triotie men in this city and State, who reverence the constitution as the bond of oar Union, the source of our strength, and, at the same time, the basis and corollary of our national glory. The people here are still excited about Jenny Lind, and we oceasionally see some very ridicu- Tous expressions of this excitement. Miss Lind is, no doubt, a very respectaiile lady—nay, nore, an artist of the highest merit; but that is no reason why we should make fools of ourselves. We saw a paragraph in one of our city papers, some days since, which made our American blood boil with iodignation. “The Hon. Daniel Webster,” said the editor, “was yesterday introduced to the Nightingale!" Can_servility and abjectness go further than this? The Secretary of rae of the girl!

The Politics of New York—The Nominations— The Prospect of the Parties— Antt-Rentism. Since the adjournment of the National Whig Convention at Utica, I have been making inquiries and looking a little at the politics of Oneida county, and have come to the conclusion that this coanty ig destined, at the next election, to resume its sta- tion in the ranks of the democracy. The Seward whige, having the control of the machinery of that party here, have nominated for re-election O. B. Matteson, the present whig member of Congress. from this district, who opposed the measures of compromise adopted at the late session, pursuing, therefore, the same course as that of Mr. Sewar in the Senate. It is believed that many whigs, na- tional in their views, will decline to vote for the re-election of Mr. Matteson, to whom is opposed Mr. Timothy Jenkins, an_old hunker, and the de- mocratic predécessor of Mr. Matteson in Congress On the other hand, Matteson relies on the votes of barnburners or free soilers, who may be dissatisfied with the nomination of Jenkins,and thes« votes ma make Le his loss by the defection of mationa’ whigs. This game of cross firing, it may be observed, is expected to be carried on to 4 considerable extent throughout the central and western counties of the State; and, notwithstanding the confidence ex- ‘d by the Albany Evening Ji , and other ward-whig papers, the general impression seems to be, that the democrats will be the gaiuers by it, to a suflicient extent to enable them to secure the election of @ majority of the Congressional districts in the State. Among the districts they expect to gain, are the following :— Districts. 20th. Oneida county Democratic Candidates. . Timothy J eakins. 22d. Chenango, &e oha J. Taylor. 23d. Oswego aud Madison.... Leander Babcock. 24th. Onondaga dseveed - Daniet T. Jones. 26th. Tompkins, Xe... In the Twenty-seventh distric ca and Weyne, and the Thi th district, com- poved of Steuben aud Allegany, the contest will be close, and the result is uncertain; but the demo- crate expect to carry the Seventeenh district, (Herkimer and seaaeenten) ond the Nineteenth, Jeflerson county;) also Fifteenth, (Cliaton, aod Warren ) rank ‘The districts above named comprise all the cen- tral, northerm, and western districts, except those where the whi ve undoubted majorities at or- dinary elections, and the Lighteeath (St Liw- rence, &c ) and Twenty-first (Otsego and Scho- harie), now represented by democrats, which are the only two of the thirty-four districts of the State not “anes by whige in the preseat Congress. In the fifteen Congressional dis:riet, in the east- ern and seuth-eastern pert of the State, the demo- | crats expect to gain a large proportion, so that the think it fair to presume they will nave, in all, twenty of the next delegation, instesd of two, as in the present Congress, whereot one (Preston | King) is a free eoiler. | If the whigs in the central and westera Con- Kobert Halsey. componed of Sene- gressional districts hope to succeed by the nomi- | cide with Seward, the | nation of those who coi democrats hope for a like result by the nomination, in most of the districts, of candidates nominally barnburners, but in the secret confides of the old bunkers, There are but few instances of the nomination of avowed hunkers for Congress, like Jenkins, of Oneida county. Both parties in this | section of the State seem to believe that it is bet ter for a candidate to have a free soil thau 4 national odor about him, aod thus we see a con- stant strife going on to catch the votes of the abo- | litionists, by candidates on both sides. Under | this state of things, in the election of members of Assembly, the same influence and eflect may be anticipated # in members of Congress, so that, even in the success of the democrats in securing amajority of the Legislature, the re-election of Hon. D. S. Diekinson to the United States Senate seems more than problematical. You may be surprised to learn that there is con- siderable enti-rent feeliog in this section of the State. | observe that meetings have beea called of anti-renters in some of the towns of Oavida | county, which have been addressed by anti-reat | three delegates from Richmond county presented | county electors; and that » name, but not boing supported by the delegation of | Richmond county, they ited with the minority of | the Kings county delegation and nominated Mr | | Bogerdus, on the expr eondition. however, t | leaders trom Columbia county. a those counties where there are extensive trects of lensed lands, | we may Jook for a considerable anti-reat vore, | which will require a powerful conservative organi- | zation or influence to cownteract, in the support of | the candid: on the State uckets not nomiaated by the anti ere.

Mademoiselle Lind’s concert, of Thursday evenings was repeated last evening, at Tripler Hall, am came off with great applause from a full house. The lowse pert of the building was completely filled, with the exception of two or three beck seats, which would’ as- commodate about fifty persony. Every seat in the first circle was occupied. That portion of the building above, having reserved seats. was occupied principally by parties of ladi a the uppertem. The circle pre sented a highly fashionable and@’brilliant assembiege. ‘The upper tier was not more than one third full, whic is the more singular, as it is much better for hearing and seeing than two-thirds of the lower portion of the hall, Yesterday, we gave a full notice of the concert @ Wednesday evening, and it is unnecessary therefore to criticise It at length to-day. Buffice it to say, that the Performances were at least equal to thove of the previ- ous night, and that it was a triumph of crasical genius and art frem the beginning to the close.

She was encred and applauded most enthusiastically. After the close of the grand scena from “Der Frey- sehutz,”’ sho was net only vehemently cheered, but called out again to receive the homage of the audience. The “Bird Song,” so wildly beautiful, seemed to be the favorite of the night, and not without reason, It was ardently encored.
