Shadrach, tho ne gro, may have escaped io Canada and freedom, bat how Mesbach, Abedncgo & Co., wbo rescued him from the laws, can escape a dory lumace, is more than wo can see, unless there is In Boston a total and thorough defiance of at I law and order.

Conspiracy to Uob and .Murder.

Mr. Sny der immediately followed, headed them, drew his revolver, and commanded them to stand. They were then all three arrested, taken bach to the bouse, and bound with ropes, when they wore brough to town, had a hearing before Esquire Kline, and were committed for trial.

Almost two hundred yearn have elapsed since Great Britain became mistress of the eeas. .It is true, that in her naval battlea with the T£ States, she has been rouch>ftener defeated than victoria ous, even when she brought into tbe engagement more men and heavier metal.'' Still the vast’ naval force of England enabled that country to claim superiority, even ainceVan Tromp.the Dutch Ad miral, swept through the'English channel with a! broom at his mast head. Holland, France, Spain | and the United States have encountered England upon the deep; the three former powers with tbe confident expectation of overthrowing the naval powers of a hated rival. In the revolutionary struggle the United Stateß possessed hardly the semblance of a fleet, although the desperjite cour age of John Paul Jones showed the Admiralty what cbuld be accomplished by the defenders of the stare and stripes. During the last war, how ever, our resources had become moredeveloped; and the naval triumphs of the United States produced a profound sensation in Great Britain.—• Of the four competitors which hav# fought with her for the supremacy of the seas, our own coun try will| undoubtedly, prove the most formidable. The Spaniards abd French never were as good sailors as the English. Even the Dutch proved their inferiors in several sanguinary' engagements. The Americans, oh the contrary, are at least their equals. Such being the fact, what are the causes that will give to the States the control of - the ocean before; the termination, of this century ? England is an old nation, and unquestionably beginning to feel the decrepitude which belongs to her age. Immensely involved in debt# with' a dissatisfied population, and her lesonrces quite developed, she, cannot advance—to. remain: sta* tionary is impossible—she will be forced to ret rograde. English statesmen' see their peril, and strange to say, frankly avow it. What forces from: the press of England—that which cannot tail to be an unpleasant triilh—the admission that tlie mar, itime power of the United Statea threatens to prove a successful rival of their own? Why is it that their writers, thoroughly conver sant as they are'with the question, declare with great earnestness,! that the, speed of their ships must be increased ? Because they are Well aware that Great Britain cannot protract, for many years, i her superiority upon the deep, if her commerce is j'surpassed by oorown. -Theydo not overrate-the • danger. We ask our readers now to glance at the bril liant career which is opening to our own people. We have a country with fargreaterresources than any other on the globe. Stretching from the Brit, isb possessions upon the Gulf of Mexico—the Eastern shores are washed by the billows of the Atlantic, while the Western are laved by the wat. era of the Pacific Ocean, The necessaries - of-life i are produced in snch immense quantities,as to be . altogether greater than the demand. - With ail these blessings we have ahardy, brave, industrious andi enterprising population to deveH ope them. VVhat cttect then will fifty years have upon our -maritime power. Onr ships are already found npon every sea. From the Eastern citiea issue tho packet and the steamship to sweep the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, while the acquisitions which we have made from Mexico, wilt cloud the Pacific with American canvass. England cannot keep pace with her gigantic and more youthfbl ; rival, and the dose ot the nineteenth century will witness the control of the ocean transferred to the United States. .$33,575,451 • 20,713,000 Miles.
