The Fugitwe Slave Law—Letters to the Governors --Determination of the Brecutive--The former and the prisent Admimstration, § We learn that the President has caused letters to be addressed to the Governors of all the States, asking theiraid and co-operation in carrying out the Fugitive Slave law. The military and naval forces of the United States will not be called into action, unless in case of most absolute necessity, and of this we are perfectly asaured. The patriotic men North can, by conjoint effort, cause the law to be respected, and thus prevent extreme from being resorted to; and, at the sa give an evidence of their devotien to the measures me time, constitu- tion, and assist in allaying the excitement now prevalent in the southern portion: of the Union, which, if not calmed, may lead to consequences which the lovers of their couatry cannot diet, and which it mney repair.

The returns of the New York election are looked for with great interest here, and the bulletin boards of the papers are constantly thronged. The demo- crats are having a jubilee over New Jersey, and the whigs over New York. The young man, John Michael, who was shot at the fireman’s row, on Monday night, it has been ascertained, was on his way home from night school, and had nothing to do with the fight. Last night, the police arrested a young man named Petty Naff, charged with being one of those who fired at Micheel, and he has been committed to prison on the charge. The ceremony of presenting a sword to General Riley, in behalf of the State of Maryland, will take place at Annapolis, shortly, the military of this city having declined to paraiio if it was presented here, out of no disrepect to General Riley, but on account of there having been so many parades lately that their men will not turn out. A young girl, about 20 years of age, named Mary Jane Pink, met with an awful death yesterday morning, from fire. She had retired to bed with a hot brick at her sides, to relieve pain, and woke up with her bed and clothing all on fire. She was badly burned, and lingered a few hours. Our Constitutional Convenuon at Annapolis, have slants 95: into quite a squabble, about the elec- tion of their presiding officer. The Union whigs, who hold the balance of power, have nominated William Cos: Johnson, who, having been aleading Tyler whig, is more offensive to the whigs than an out-and-out democrat would be They, conse- quently, will not support him under aay circum- stances, and the Union men seem disposed to stand by him. This body will be anything but harmo- niovs, as the basis of representa‘ion will bea bone of contention on which they can scarcely agree. New Hampshire, t, Nov. 5.) some diys ago for e of hia birth, to enj Hon, Daniel Webster (From the Houston Mr. Webster Jett Maret his farm at Frankly, the pl the mountain air of New Hampshire f at his father’s old house has proved highly beaeti- cial to his health. Week betore last 2 delegation of his old New Hampshire friends and neighbors, many of whom were companions of his younger days, and whom he had not met for years, ealled to pay their respects to the distinguished states man; to express their approbation of his patriotic course in the Senate at the last session of Congress. ‘The delegation was composed nearly all of demo- crats, Which made it still more gratifying to Mr. Webster Among them were the fon. Moses Norris, U.S. Senator, Judze N. G. Upham, Gen Joseph Low, Hon. Richard H. Ayer, Hon. Charles H. Peaslee, Gen Frank Pierce, Worcester Web- ster, Esq , Capt. Paul Kt. George, late of the army, and Hon. George W. Nesmith : The party sat down to a regular old fashioned farmer’s dinner. The most cordial and happy feel- | ing prevailed at the festive board. A fand of anec- dot d story went round, and in the old man- sion of Mr. Webster’s father, voices commingled once which had rot been heard in unison for many | years. During the enjoyment the following senti- | ment was offered by the Hon. Richard H. Ayer :— “ Our Host—To the genius, patriotism, and cou- rage which so eflectually and opportunely inter- posed for the preservation of the Union, we tender our Jasting gratitude. ‘* Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable.” Mr. Webster acknowledged this tribute of re- spect to his worih, and remarked that the present was the time for eating and drinking, and not for speech Kine The occasion was one whieh had brougnt together some of his oldest friends and neighbors, whom he was glad to see, one and all. He would take an opportunity, however, to make a rey before his goes's should disperse ‘owards the close of the repast §Gen. Joseph Low, in reply to a sentiment from Gea. Pierce, rose end said thet there was an hour in his existeace which he should ever look beck toes ene which had given him greater relief and more true bee peas than any he had ever experienced, and that the night when he received by muil, the great nm speech of Danie] Webster, of the 7th of rch. He read it that night, and he read it again and egain the next morning ; and democrat as he was, he felt that his feelings and his heart had e d towards Mr. Webster—because he felt that Mr Webster was not only willing to, but be had sacrificed himeelf for the preservation of the Union. On going to town that morning, Gea. Low, | found that Mr. Webster's speech was the | general topic of conversation. A friend of mine | told me, with bitter denunciation, that Mr. Web- | ster had been false to the North, and abandoned her great principles. I asked him if he had read the speech. The reply was, he had not. Well, said 1, don’t condemn a man uatil you have heard | him. I have read the speech, and do you ge and read | it too, and then tell me what you think.” He did so, and meeting him a short time afterwards, said 1, “ Well, what do you think of it now?” “ Why,” | says he, ** General, the factis, Mr, Webster goes | for everybody. He is in favor of the North and | he goes for the South; he is in favor of the East and | he goes for the West; and, d—n me, sir, if he don’t go for the whole Union'”’ And, continued Gen. Low, he is now one of the stro advocates of Mr. Webster's course. The conclusion of these remarks was greeted with the greatest applause, when Mr. Webster, evinciog great feeling, rose to reply. It is to be regretted, in justice to Mr. Web- ster, thet en imperfect skeleton of his remarks, from memory, can only be given. lle said the nota fitting occasion to touch upon T he should let them alone, He was lad to see around his table many old friends and companions of his younger days, which brought to mind many ple reminiscences, and afforded him indescribable pleasure The allusion to hie course in the Senate, how- | ever, and the approbation it had 1 wi y his friends present, who had made a mani jon of their feelings, such a source of deep gratifi- n to him that he could not help reverting to it. T a8 sufficient to repay him for the tritls and ruflerings he had gone through, and it muttered but little at this day whether opinion should sus- tain him in his course, so leng as he felt he had Jone his duty to his country, and alone for his country’s good. Hehad lived the best portion of his life—the past secured to him, and could aot be taken from him. He asked for no more. He had | 00 other wish to gratify, for he felt there was no | sacritice too great for him to m ke in sustaining the Welfare of his country. For six long months, from the 7th of March to the 7th of September, he had not slept over two hours any one night. Senators eat in their seats day and night Tt was the crisis, and it was a fearfal and terrible one. No ray of hope, no gleam of support came fromeny one. All looked dark and gloomy—all | were grave and sullen, and no smile of relief cheered the hour of deeprir.

Tt was the same feeling whieh men have who have fought vide by side together throvgh some bloody combat. A fier the battle is over they become forever endeare t to each other, | if only for the common dangers and hardships they | passed through. In inn) 5 the position he had taken, he felt he was but maintaining the laws and the constitu- tion, guarding the rights of the Sonth, and advo eating the harmony of the North, alone and only for the sake of the preservation of the Union. He forgot everything but his country); for his country ob and her salvation, was uppermost in hi: Our country—May its Union continue perpetual and everlasting, for when it shall become divided, it will no longer be my country. Mr. Webster spoke with derp and heartfelt emotion, and sat down amidst a burst of applause, which greeted him throughout his speech Senator Norris replied to Mr. \V ebster in a epeech of great eloquence and deep feeling, producing a marked impression on all present.

The citizems of Boston, on the 4th inst., tender- ed to Amin Bey, the Turkish Ambassador, the com of a public dinner. Upon his arrival at dinner, he was welcomed in a speech from airman, to which he made the following re- _ At no moment, since my arrival in the have | felt so much and pride, as atthe present. I believe it is generally known t! mission with which I five been honored by government, to that of the Uni ed States of Amer- ica, is simply and purely one of friendship, and en- quiry after information useful to my countrymen at home. Politics hare no part in it. For many years Wh 4 a perfect ave existed between my own government and that of the United States—between the govern- ments of the “ Far East” and the “ Far West.” I am bere to use my humble endeavors to streasthen that pe will, to render the duration of these kind feelings permanent ; and notwithstanding the immense distance which separates America from Turkey—Washington from Constantinople—there happily exists relations between the two coun- tries, of a commercial nature, which tend to draw them nearer every day. The le of these two countries ay now rej visit each other with increased facilities, by means of steam, which I believe may call, earnestly and for the best of reasons, “ The American Element,” and thus may cultivate with each other new and more intimate relations. My own government has strongly at heart the extension of these relations of commerce with the United States. Itsees in them the only true basis of amity between the two na- tions, for without them, and those of mutual use- fulness generally, there would not exist between difierent nations and people other feelings than those of selfishness and mutual jealousy. Com- merce renders all governments respected by the strength which it gives to them, and adds happiness and comfort to the natives engaged in it. 1 feel deeply grateful for the kind mention which I have just heard of my much honored sovereign; and it will be equally agreeable to him, | am sare. to learn that his ame possesses the respect, and character and conduct the good opinion of the citizens of Boston. There relations with his do- minions are more extensive and valuable than those of any other part of the United States. 1 have learned from them, since my arrival here, a great leeson in private industry and eaterprise, andia the promotion of that intelligeace and education which constitute the chief source of their wonderful pros- rity. if the many very interesting spectacles which it hes been my happiness to witness since my visitto the New World, there is none which will more deeply merit the attention of my sove- reign and his government, than that of a great de- Itberative body, chosen by the whele people of the United States to represent them in Congress, and there make laws for the government of the greater portion of an entire continent. { have observed that their labors for the welfare of their country re not limited to the day, but that even the night mode subservient to the iaterests of those whom they represent. The honor—the vey distinguished honor—which that body conferred upon me—or rather upon the sovereiza whose humblest servant 1 em—by constituting me the gpest of the nation, unexpected as jattering to my own government. It is a strong evidence of the friend- ship of the whole American people for my honored sovereign. It is an attention responding, in the mest forcible language, to the mission of pure Lage 3 and inquiry on which I have been sent, The kindness which J have also received from the chief magistrate of t great and prosperous country, has made an impression on my mind of »rofound respect and admuration for him, which, 1 ear, [can convey but inadequately to my owa sovereign.

Daniel Webster, which drew from that gentleman the following re- maiks:—Iam a Union man; anout and out Union man; but it would be bad taste in me, on an occa- sien like this, when there are so maay topics of interest, to speak of political matters only. He then alluded to the mission of the distinguished Turk, and said—He comes among u the guest of the United States—not as the guest of a faction, but the Uaited—not as the guest of a vere: and broken country, but as the guest of the Uaited States of America—States spreading over a vast territory, of various products and climates, and of interests and institutions; yet, thank God, they are all United 5 It is in the capacity of united citizens of United States that we are now assem- bled to welcome to our festivity a nguished mam from a distinguished coua' and it is in the capa- city of United Americans specteble. Others mi crezy, if they please, said Mr. Webster, but I sey it people we can ever be prospero' spectable abroad. He had alway opponents of the Union, and he should always coa- tinue to do ro. He professed to know somethi: of the sentiment of the people of this vas’ pos | beautiful country, and he did not hesitate to de- clare it a sentiment in fever of harmony. An in- itution, not of our creating, must not disturb the armony of these happy States. Crazy and mis- chievous men may attempt it, but they will soon find their eflorts restrained. The people of this country are the people of cne country, said Mr, Webster, and they are anxious to preserve the Union, however bounded, and washed by what- ever waters. Local strifes are temporary—the Union is perpetual. 1 speak with emphasis, said he, beesuse | wish to give utterance to a heart that knows no secret on the question of the harmony of the great family of States, I was inesé of the excellent President of it , arguing to the contr born to the Union, and | shall stand by it.

Bot whatever course others might pursue, Mr. beter declared that all his efforts should hereafter—as in former days—be in favor of the Union. At the conclusion of the speech, the whole company rose, and gave three cheers for the Secretary of State, and three for the Union. Tre Late Fire ty Bostox—The amount of ‘operty consumed in the freight depot of the Boston end Maine Railroad, yesterday mornis has been various! d and greatly} ex: gerated. The total loss to all parties will not, it thought by $150,000, and u there is no certainty that it will reach that The building was about 500 feet long, 50 wide, and was built about six years since, at a cost of $33,800. ‘The upper story of the building was occupied by Messrs. Harrod & Fernald, extensive mahogany dealers, who had within a day or two removed a large stock of mahogany to this building. Their stock is estimated to have been worth $40,000 or $56,000, on which there is $18,000 insurance, 12,000 at the Fireman's Office, and $6,000 at the franklin. The great weight of the mahogany hastened the destruction of the building by break- ing the floors, and throwing down the walls. The freight depot contained a large quantity of mer- chandise, on the floor, besides a loaded train of cars which came in during the evening, aud another loaded train ready to go out—both of which comprised about 14 long cars, or 28 short ones—all of which were entirely destroyed. The principal losses, so far as ascertained, are Mason & Lawrence, Milk street, 369 bales cotton goods. Cocheco Manufacturing meen’ 109 bales cotton. Salmon Falls Cor y, 50 bales cotton goods. Marland Company, a large Cy rl of woollen goods. South eading Branch Rail- road, five cars and contents. The remainder of the cars were filled with a great variety of freight, be- longing to numerous parties. The loss to the cor- poration, including everything, will not, it is said, exceed 360,000, and on this sum it has an ins rance of $20,000, divided between the depot and the freight therein. Most of the firms whose pro- perty was consumed in the depot, are themselves responsible, the corporation heving notified them to remove their The origin of the fire is yetunknown.

ANOTUER OF THE ASSOCIATED STOOI-rIGEONS CAGED. For the last year or two past, we have announced to the public, from time to time, the existence, in this city, of a band of conspirators, consisting of stool-pigeons, bank robbers, hotel thieves, and other rogues, associated together, of which co- terie the Police Gazette bas been the organ and used to misguide, the public in the detec- tion of the real offenders. We also further stated that Mayor Woodhull and the Chief of Police were closely watching the movements of this gang of depredators, and ere long would succeed in expos- ing all their nefarious operations, and thereby bring many of the real culprits to a just punishment. The principal leaders and stool-pigeons of this con- federacy set up pretensions of a detective police, and in that way the attaenés obtained a knowledge of criminal matters, by frequenting the police courts and obtaining information of charges made against Yogues ; which information, instead of being used to promote the ends of justice, was applied to the benefit of the guilty parties, who were placed un- der the wing of the etool-pigeon confederacy, and protected from the arrest of the public authonties. This coterie of rogues, we are sorry to say, ex- isted too long for a civilized communally like New York ; but, fortunately, justice has broken in upon these depredators, now the confederacy has been scattered Cy way V3 the perseverance and skill of officers Bowyer, and others, under the direction and management of Mayor Woodbull, and Mr. Matsall, Chief Police. It is possible that a concerted band of rogues may exist for a time; but no sooner does the honest portion of the public discover the base and dishonest principles carried on by individuals who, at least, have pretention to character, heading a compact of rogues of the most rous nature, ‘hat moment # hand will b= raised from all quar- ers, by the good meaning portion of the people, to put down and expose to view the concoctors and getters up of crime, for the purpose of involving nnocent persons in the commission of fellonious deeds, thereby to shield the real culprits. Since the police have brekea into their cover, many of the attaches to this stool pigeon gang have fled from the State, and, perchance, the coun- try—and Ts gang on iar of departare— unk the ice succee in, veto on theif 1 movements. First, Warner, the lawyer, has fled from arrest; Marcus Cicero Stanley and Levi Cole next departed be Tom is now bbe: fortunately, was caged, an for the Kunouse, in jail in Rhode of the Phoenix aided b: arge. Fi id toga, for hotel robbery; and many others, whose pames it would not be prudent at present to men- tion, as the police are on the look out for them. ‘The last arrest made of this gang was Henry C. Dorsey, a very prominent member, who, for the last two or three years, has been entrusted with the disposal of stolen money, goods, &e., ob- tained by Tom Kanouse, Levi Cole, and other members of the great stool-pigeon compact. This Dorsey is a very genteel king youog man, of tive buswess habits; and in order to ex- hibit a kind of standing for the misguidance of ho- nest people, he hired an office, which he fitted up in a very costly commercial style, for the pur- pose of giving character to any references that might cail on him, sent by his confederates. This office was located at Nos. 73 and 74 South street, where books, &c., were arranged to give the place a show of doing a great business. Ilow- ever, prior to Dorsey opening this office, he was, in the year 1848, clerk to Loomis & Lyman, No. 1 Nassau street, and at the same time an associated member of the stool pigeon coterie, of woich Island, Levi Cole and others, who are Kanouse and Cole were his particular men for tne | execution of avy ingenious job of stealing con- | with Loomis | ecocted. During Dorsey's clerkship & Lyman, several certificates of indemnity Mex- ican scrip, valued at $16,000, the property of Mr. Loomis, #8 follows:—one scrip of $10,000, No. 102; one’ for $1,000, No. 297; two for $1,000 each, together with one for $3,000, the property of Mr. Thadeus Spencer—were placed in a yellow envelope, and for safe-keeping deposited in the iron safe in the office. ‘The following 's the substance of the evidence cn file before Justice MeGrath, implicating Dorsey in the robbery of the serip, and his two associates, ‘Tom and Levi, showing clearly another liak of tne secret movements carried on by the confederacy of sioo] pigeons:—On one occasion, in the year while Dorsey was thus engaged as clerk, Thomas H. Hastuck, Jr., called in the office, and Dorse: exhitited to him a yellow envelope which he too fiom the safe, and said they were Mexican bonds | or scrip, remarking at the time: “ See what confi- dence my employers place in me!” as those bonds were worth thousands of dollars; but, naever- theless, he (Dorsey) intended to make use of them whenever it suited his purpose, and that he was going to leave soon, but would not leave empty handed, as he had the impression ot the key of the sele, and his men, Tom aad Levi, (meaning Kanouse and Cole) would do the jobsnugly whea- ever he said the word, and that it must be done soon, or else it wouldn’t be worth doing. After Dorsey left. the employ of Loom Lyman, he went South; but before leav rected Hasluck look out for any tisement respecting Mexican bonds, from Loomi: & Lyman; and subsequently an advertiseme: appeared for such boads as lost or misiaid, vertised, as anticipated by Dorsey, by Loomis & Lyman. On Dorsey's return from the South, he took the advertisement handed him by Hasluck referring to the Mexican bonds. Dorsey then “That'enothing, its all right,” and put it into his me- morandum book In Jane, 1849, Hasluck was in Dorsey's room at Dunning’s Hotel, where he wit- neesed Dorsey take from the back of a picture, or looking glass, an envelope, and. holding it in his hand, seid, “That envelope contains upwards of $10,800 in bonds.” This eavelope Hasluck receg- nized as the one he had seen in Loomis & Lyman's office. Dorsey then said he gave the impression of the key of the safe to his men, Tom and Levi, and they had done the job soug, a the wae in with them, for they could not use the bonds without him. last, Hasluck called at Dorsey's office, « In Jul; No, 73 sotion, he inqnired of Dorsey what had become of those Mexican bonds of Loomis's.

Kenouse said that the Mexican bonds were equally divided between Cole, Dorsey. Mercer further said, i oflice of No. 73 South street, every day or two. illustration of the character and ability y iN cases of deception and rascality, it will be seen that during the trial of Tom end Levi Cole, at Milton, Rhode [sland nix Bank, 16,000, Dorsey, the prisoners asso- felt bound to aid and assist his brother com- des in crime towards an acquittal, and went onthe stand to prove an a/ibt, by swearing that the ac- cused parties were in Me office, in New York, on the Seturday and the Monday following, when in fact, according to the evidence of respectable and creditable witnesses, Kanouse and Cole were in the vicinity of the bank that was robbed, and iden. tified likewise on the to and from Rhode Island, from thie city, just prior and subsequent to the robbery.
