As to the writ of protection prnyed for by Gray Judge Shaw remarked that they could only issue it in advance when the suit against which it was required was in their own Court which this suit in question was uoi far from the Atlas On Saturday forenoon Mr Gray applied to Judge Story the United States law against slave and requested to have the hearing postponed for time to send to Virginia procure evidence 8 Sewall "opposed the application for delay on theground that the claimant ought tobo: ready with his evidence before he undertook to deprive person of 'i bis liberty But the Judge said that time to procure evidence had always been given in these cases and made an order that Latimer should remain in the cus tody of the claimant till the hearing winch was fixed for Saturday Nov 5 and that in the mean time his Counsel should have access to him Thus is Boston made the ground? of the South and thus does the city consent to aid and abet the vilest of kidnappers conduct of the city Marshal and the city Police in this matter bus been base in the extreme They volunteered their services to seize and retain the victim in custody without any legal authority whatever and he now lies in jail against all law justice and right double share infamy belong to Stratton the Constable who has acted a the two legged bloodhound of Gray and shown a zeal and eagerness in the service of his master unsurpsssed by any four footed hound ever im ported from Cuba Austin the sprig of law who act a counsel for Gray also deserves to be held in special execration There should be but one de termination among our and that is that Latimer shall never go back to the South Old ancuil Hall is to speak out on this matter on Sunday eve ning next congregations on Sabbath next with particular refes ence to the cake now unde dJnddaration and also to iqliestt the du thorilieS JiiEI Urt rMTerant churches RCodef in behalf of George Latimer the dalincdL fugitive Tho buaineaspojnnMtlce reported the following res olu lions whlcl were unanimously O4etiV Resolved That the conduct oft qbordinte officers of police and tbo ldgher regard to ar iytveg Tree Amerl authqritiw sight of Btinket ItiiriJid on iKa soiHhat drank the first blood' that was shed' in rev oluiion that 'cured the indbpendehce these 1 VEINS or A coto affords convftitinyi'dbf hollow profes sioniof Amefitans for democracy and of lht nalliftgsiato of! hatmibliesentl merit which causes unmoved a fiigftiv fromfiaWy7 yet panting from his efforts to regain his lUndeniablf right tofreedom rlrHfftrrtd back to his Dnson boute tOibe wCvorged ud torturedand probably he put i Other proceedings! toolt plMej but jUma'and space willmot allowtlieir inseriioiLthisweak Tbe meet ancuil Hall for a public meeting to be held oritSun jal 6 iven ingjlo conidu'3jtbe subjuct ofprovidingadditional safeguards for the protection of the ersonal liberty of tiro citizens particularly in the cate of those claim ed ns offenders ngainst the laws of other Suite and hf The' fiends of freedom in Abe neighboring towns as well as in the rally to this meeting and make it the largest that ever Been known in the WCradlo of Liberty really a highly important occasion!
