The sixth section prescribes the manner ot pro ceeding in the states whence the fugitives escape, directs negro hunters to either catch the fugitives themselves and take them before the proper oth cer, or to procure a warrant and send a Marshal after them; in which case a certified power of at torney and an affidavit of identity are sufficient evidence, whereupon the commissioner may issue his certificate and send the alleged fugitive into slavery. The person thus apprehebded and claimed is not allowed a word in his own defence.

He is taken as an ox to the slaughter, without be ing allowed the privilege of calling a witness or having a fair trial; the affidavit of the reputed master or his agent being all sufficient to convict him of being a runaway slave. This section de- fie the writ of habeas corpus, which the constitu tion of the United States, as well as that of the state of New York, makes sacred. It enacts that the certificates in the cases named shall be con clusive as to the right to remove the alleged fugi live to the state whence he is said to have escaped and that such removal shall not be hindered by any process issued by court, judge, magistrate, or any other person wluttsoever. This constitutional out' rage has been perpetrated by a corrupt Congress and the Executive has written under it, "Approv ed Millard Fillmore." The seventh section makes it criminal for any person to hinder the capture or promote the es' cape of nnyugitive from labor, or to harbor or conceal knowing them to be claimed as fugitives, and fixes the penalty atone thousand dollais and six months imprisonment for violation in any point. It further subjects the offender to prosecution in a civil suit, for each slave lost by any such interference.

The eighth section fixes the fees which shall be received by the very honorable officers who shall be appointed to carry out the behests of the slave holders, as expressed by this act of Congress. To the commissioner who takes an affidavit, issues a warrant, hears the testimony of the claimant and refuses to grant a certificate, it awards five dollars only; but in all cases in which he decides favora bly to the claimant and grants the desired certificates, it awards him ten dollars. Thus in all cases the sum of five dollars is held out as a bribe for a decision in favor of the claimant. These sums, with other expenses, are to be paid by the claimant. Section nine enacts that any claimant who chooses to make affidavit before the commissioner that he has reason to apprehend a rescue, shall have any amount of force allowed him to help convey the condemned fugitive back to his repu ted master.

The nuniber of the escort is to be in proportion to the force which the claimant apprehends will be employed to make the rescue, and ihis force is to accompany him to the state or territory whence the recaptured slave is supposed to have fled. In all such cases, the whole expense is to be paid out of the treasury of the United States. Here, it will be seen is to be a heavy drain upon the United states treasury. It may well bo set down as a fact that no honest man will ever consent to be an agent for a slave holder to go into a free state to recapture a runaway slave. It is a thing that is generally undertaken by the worst of characters, on speculation.

All such men wilt be snro to apprehend a rescue, and to require a force to accompany them, to avoid paying the expenses of the removal. Wow, supposing at) escort of no more than ten men should be reqnir ed in such cases, it is evident that the cost of such escort to a slave stateand back, would be three times as much as the slave would be worth; and inasmuch as the free states pay two-thirds of the expenses of government, they have to pay the bulk of these expenses, as well as to bear the shame of being made negro catchers to the south em aristocracy. The tenth section enacts, that any person who has lost a slave, or who may claim to have losi one, in any slave State, or in the District of Col nibia, mav make affidavit of the fact before any competent tribunal in said State or District, de scribine the person of said fugivtive, which otfi davit and description shall be entered npon the record of the court before which they are made and a transcript thorefrom shall be competen evidence before any court or commissioner of the United Stales, that such fugitive slave "owes service" to the claimant; and the affidavit of the agent, either written or oral, shall be conclusive testimony in of identity all cases. The said transcript, however, shall not be demanded in any case, if not voluntarily presented. There we have tho whole of it; and it is cer tainly a most beautiful piece of legislation for an abolitionist executive to sanction with his "Millard Fii.lmork." Where is the man who wii' consent to bo made a commissioner for tho city of Buffalo under this law? Is there one? If so we should like to see him.

We should like to see the decent citizen who would associate with him or countenance him. It cannot be that any citizen who values his reputation, will consent to hold that office. And he who shall accept it, may xpect to see the finger of corn pointed at his dwelling, and hear the ac companying remark: There tiles the execrable slave hunter! Who would not as soon be a hang man, a headsman or a bravo? It must be evident to every citizen of a free State, that such a law as this, which sets the constitutions, both State and National, at defiance which outrages moral sentiment, and degrades two-thirds of the population of the Union below the dignity of men; which adds another deep blush to the shame which has covered the faces of free Americans for the lastiialf century; it is evident, we say, that such a law can never be enforced. Repeal, therefore, Bhould bs tho watchward of every honest voter of every political party in the free States; and it behoves every one to enquire of those who seek his suffrage as candidates for representative in Congress, what course they will tke when this legislative and moral abomination is arraigued at the of the next Congress.

The Fugitive Slave Law. This law, which is by far the most odious and abominable piece oflegislation that ever disgraced onr country, was one of those monster creations of Henry Clay, in his dotage, with which he load ed that great omnibus, which was wrecked in it: passage through the United States Senate. It was picked up by the Fillmore administration, a dopted as a government measure, and forced thru' Congress by the corrupting influence of Government patronage. As it has already appeared in our daily sheet, and will accompany these remarks to our country readers, it is unnecessary that we do more than simply allude to its prominent points, in this article. Before going into the merits of this last act in aid of southern usurpation and tyranny, it wil be amiss to remind the reader of the position occupied by the present executive of the United Stales, at bis last giving out on the subject, in re-lation to human slavery.

Twelve years ago, Mr Fillmore was a candidate for representative in Congress from this district. The abolitionists were then, as now, in some force in this county and their vote and influence were deemed worth courting them for. They addressed a set of in-terrogatoriB to Mr. Fillmore and his competitor, which, in brief, were to the following effect: Would you vote for the reception and respectful consideration of Petitions to Congress on the subject of slavery and the slave trade? Would you oppose the annexation of Texas to the Union under any circumstances, whilst slaves are held there? Would you vote for the abolition of thi slave trade between the States? Would you to for the immediate abolition of slavery in the Di: trict of Columbia? These four queries were an swered by Mr. Fillmore in the affirmative, with out the least hesitancy or qualification.

Hen he was deemed to be an Abolitionist in full fellow ship, and has received the entire abolition vote fot all offices for which he has been a candidate, from that day to this, with probably here and there a exception of such ones as knew him intimately and weighed him carefully. Since that time, we had never seen or heard an intimation that he not hold fast to his abolition faith and principles till a short time previous to the death of Gen Tnvlor. when the ODinion became general that he had sold himself to the south for a ticket in the Presidential lottery. Now let ns look a little into the merits of Ih law, which northern traitors have assented to, am which Mr. Fillmore has "approved." The law contains ten sections, the first of which tells vh hall exercise and discharge the powers and dutiei conferred and imposed by the said law.

They are to be Commissioners heretofore appointed to apprehend, convict and bail criminals for offences gainst the United States, and similar Commiss ioners, to be appointed in ample numbers, and conveniently located, to suit the purposes of who may choose to engage in the business of re capturing runaway slaves, or kidnapping and ab ducting free persons of color, fraudulently claim as slaves. The second section adapts the law as it relates to sovereign Slates, to the organized territories The third section authorizes the enlargement, rom time to time, of the number of Commission era appointed to faciliate the apprehension of fu gitivea from labor. The fourth section makes the slave catching commissioners equal in power for the purposes of their creation to the judges of the circuit and district ceurls in the states, and to the judge ol the Superior courts in the territories; and it au thorises them to grant certificates to hunters of reputed fugitives, to remove them to the State whence they are alleged to have escaped, there to be delivered to their claimants, without furtlicr trial. The fifth section makes it the duty of all Mar ahals and deputy Marshals to obey and execute all precepts for the reclamation of fugitive slaves; im poses a fine of one thousand dollars for any deliu nuency in such duly, which fine goes to the clai mant; it makes the Marshal liable on his bni1 bend, for the full value of any such reputed fugi lives, who shall escape from the custody of said Marshal, or his deputy, even though the ulmost diligence tni caution be used to prevent such escape it authorizes Commissioners to appoint whom they please to execute precepts, and to command, and to authorize their appointees to command, the whole posse comitate to aid them in th performance of their duty; and it commands all citizen of sovereign states or organized territories, to hold themselves in readiness at all limes to obey all officers appointed nnder this law, and "'hair bidding, to assume the character and va of of for the repeal of the clause restricting the right of suffrage. Mr.

Mcrphy presented a series of resolutions, which, together with the original resolutions, were referred back to the committee on resolutions, and the resolutions reported yesterday, were again reported, with the exception of the last but one, which recommends a separate ticket. In addition to which, the following were reported: Resolved, That we, the workinginen, are opposed to the present unequal representation to which we are subject, and fir the future we are determined to have a representation equal to the numerical strength of the workingmen of the State. Resolved, That we are in favor of the freedom of the public lands, in limited quantities to actual settlers, and land limitation in this State. Resolved, That we are in favor of such a homestead exemption as shall forever secure the hearlh- inn. In overv family.

Resolved. That we are in favor of a ten hour law. in all chartered corporations and on the public Resolced, That we are in favor of abolishing mechanical labor in our prisons, knowing and feeling it to be unjust and oppressive to us as a Resolved, That we are in favor of abolishing the present contract svstcm upon public works. Resolced. That" we are in favor of free schools, and recommend to the workinginen of the state to ih.ir influence and votes to secure the pas sage of such a law as shall make the schools of Ihis state entirety iree anu secure an ui.

every child. Resolved, That we are in favor of au equitable and just lien law, to secure the working man against the dishonesty of employers. The various resolutions, except that in relation to the plan of organization as recommended by the industrial Congress, which was passed by the convention for the present, were adopted, and the last but one was amended by adding the following words: And that all appropriations of moneys by the stale to promote education, be appropriated exclusively to common schools. The second resolution, which related to a plan of organization, and the nomination of an independent ticket, was then taken up, and after debate was rejected. The couvention then adjourned.

Democratic Caucuses. We would call the especial attention of the democracy of the city, to the ward caucuses, as advertised in this paper. It will be seen that they are called for Monday next. in all tho wards, and at the following places: First Ward, at Huff's Commercial Hotel. Second Ward, al the Southern Hotel, Seneca Street, corner of Michigan.

Third Ward, at the house of P. O'Brien, corner of Fifth and Carolina Streets. Fourth Ward, at the Genesee House. It is important that every democrat should at tend the caucus in his Ward, that a full and fair expression of sentiment may be had; the.t proper delegates be chosen, so that there may be no dissatisfaction afterward; and that every one should think mora of having things managed fairlv and properly in his own ward, than he does of the manner in which matters are conducted in other wards. It is also important that the democracy of the city, should be generally salisfiod in all its parts, with the result of these caucuses, that they may go into the election once more, pulling altogether with undivided strength.

In this way, and in no other way, the party who have profited by our quarrels, and laughed at our (jllv, can be thoroughly routed. We say, therefore, come all. QUKESSTON AltD fjEWISTOH SosFKSSIIOS BRIDGE We have at all times taken a deep interest in those mighty works of scientific skill, which tend to advance the fame and interest of our nation, and therefore, feel disposed to bring under the public notice, every undertaking of such a nature. Of all tho glorious efforts of skill nnd enterprise, which have illumed our intellectual horizon up to the present time we know of none which display at once, more boldnoBS of conception than those airy structures which serve to bind with gauzy threads, the sister-land to ours. The first Suspension Bridge, serving across the I Niagara River, near the Falls, caused a mighty sensation in the minds of all; and it was Ihe initiatory link to the annexation of Canada, no doubt of it.

It drew our good neighbors near to us and gave to them as to us a fair chance for an intimacy. Recent events have shown that that ntimacy is increasing beyond all sanguine ex pectation. The second Suspension Bridge, waa com menced at a more vital point, and with increased enterpnze. We noticed this work a short time since, and fell into error as to the true dimensions of the suspending wires. Our informant is now correcled by the talented engineer himself, (En ward W.

Serreix, who informs us that the ultimate strength of the Bridge, will be five thousand five hundred strands of No. 10, refined iron wire, while for present purposes there will be used ten cables of two hundred and fifty strands each, We feel much obliged by the politeness of Mr. Srrell, in setting us exactly right on Ihis subject, and we wish him all that success which his energy and skill deserve. Tho Bridge will bo open to the public in as before staled. Heirs Wanted for an Estate.

Wo find in the N. Y. Tribune, the following paragraph, taken from the "Indiana Herald," of the date of September 31st. We do not know in what part of the state the Herald is published, but it can be easily assertained, should there be uny one in th couuty fortunate enough to be heirs of the estntc, and who would wish further information. "John M.

Daniels or John McDaniels, some years since a resident of the state of New York died about ix months since at this place, leaving an estate valued at about $12,000. It is presumed that the heirs to this estate are now living somewhere in the state of New York, and most probably in Che. nango county, and that it will be an easy matter for them to become lawfully possessed of the same." Dinner to Gen. Wool. The citizens of Syra cuse, to the number of 100, gave Gen.

Wool, a dinner at Rust's Hotel, on Wednesday, while he waa on a visit to the County Agricultural Fair. Toasts sad speeches wore npiritod on tho occasion. Orlando Hastings, denies that he has been appointed a Commissioner under the Fugitive Slave Law. Fortunate man that!
