The slaves,belonged to James 11. Ken. hedy and Mr, HolUngsworih, of Hagerstown, Mary. land, who were het'e in person to recover their pro^ , petty.. Them were.three slaves—one man and a ‘ womtin arid Utllo girl—who had been arrcstcdjn the ■ forc.part of the day, and taken before Justice Smith, ‘'‘where proof-Ayas made oflhe-fact of their being the of the . genUoraen , above named, and of their 'escape frojn Maryland, and a certificate given by the Juslico lolhe owrfefs to that effect. At the request, of thd ownsrsAho Justice comraitled them tp (he jail • 6f v UiV«oun(y.. In the 'afternoon a writ of labea* earput was sued out, directed to tho Sheriff, to know byj?rUat authority lie held thorn in his custody. Tye hearing took place, before Judge Hepburn", at 4 o’clock P, M. ’ The Sheriff made return to the habeas cotpui that he held theni by virtue of a commitment from • JusticoSmllh. • ■-*' . £ Upon the hearing his Honor decided that IhoSheriff had no legal authority from the Justice to hold them, ' under the act of Congress relating to fugitives from .labor* but that a certificate having been given by the JuaUee'of thcir being the slaves of Messrs. Kennedy ■ and Hollingsworth, they wore properly in the custody of, theowners. Proof of the ownership was given before the Judge, bulho thought it irrelevant, as the ' only .question for him to determine was whether they were properly In tho custody of tho Sheriff. He.de clined also going into the question of tho powers and • r duties qf the local magistracy, under a recent act of Nr • the Legislature, or .whether that act was in conflict with the act of Congress relating to the recovery ol , fugitives from labor/ During the Hearing, a large crowd of infuriated 1 -- 1 ., negroes, picn and women, and a small sprinkling of Abolitionists (we are sorry to say,) golhercd in and •boiit the Court-house, who by their violent disposition to rescue the fugitives by force. After the decision was made, that tho slaves were In the custody df.tho owners, the negroes rushed up the • aisles of (ho Court room while the. Judge was yet upon the bench, and attempted to drag tho.slavcs to (he door.' They were resisted by the owners and (he Sheriff opd lits Deputies, and (he citizens present, * and kftor a severe scuffle, in which blows wore given ond received, the blacks wore frustrated. A second i ' however, was made to rescueUm slaves as tU.'y wsrOrougbt down from tho Couri-room 16 the I cattjSgo ih Vailing to take thorn off, which resulted in riot.- The attack was commenced at the | door of thtf carriage, where, before the slaves wore got Ini* the Vehicle,* general rush was mode on the owners and‘cons. 4 ttki« who had them in charge, by ■ the negro men and women, and a frightful mcloe.eii. ■ «uod in the street, in Cbich for some minutes paving] atones were burled hi showers, and clubs ond arms used with painful effect. The result was that tho ' woman ond little girl were' rciW* l , and. soon made •, ihoir escape, while Uie hum was secured and sent on . his way to Maryland. -One of the negroes, .while, the investigation was going on, attempted to Are the CourMiotffe* by pla* dng Arc among spme combustible materials under the Blair* leading to the Court room, ills idea was, no dvuhti to tali* an alarm of Arc, and that In (be confailon they could the bettor carry into effect lliejr plan*.

Ho re* ■delved, Vo jinderstand, a soyore slab in tho back of tlip neok rrom a dirJi knife. The cap of his knoo was slsd'knooked off, which is considered tho worst of hli injnrJci. A boy named John Black was also so Seriously wounded In the head by a stone, that his Ufe at Arst considered in danger. His scull is much fractured. He is now doing, well, however, and strong hopes ere entertained of ills entire recovery. Many others received blows and knocks, but. wore not,badly injured.

W,. SANTA: ANNA AND lIIS-FEDERAL MEXI. CAN ALLIES; Santa Anna has declared, through his organ, the in tho city of Mexico, that-.« one whole patty in tiro. United Stales, (meaning tho Federal are fiercely opposed to the war,’* and urgey on tho. Mexicans against the American troops J This declaration of Santa. Anna; is proof that hois in regular communication with his allies (tho Federal ists) In this country. Tho Federalists would make Us bclievp that they are anxious lor “an honorablo peace with. Mexico,” when it is notorious that the traitor-like conduct of that party lias 'had the effect of prolonging hostilities. Had not tho' Federalists advocated tho Mexican side of iho question, we verily believe,that “an honorable peace’ 1 would have.bocn declared before now. It was tho encouragement that Mexicans received,and continue.to receive from their friends the Federalists of this country, that has in duced that weak people to hold out.agalnlt tho U I Slates. From the luno of the Federal journals of tho United Stales, and the speeches ofTory Cqrwini and other prominent men; belonging to that , party, the Mexicans had good reason to suppose lliat Amc ricana were quarrelling among thcrtiselvcs—Santa Anna could declare with truth that "one whole parly | in iho United Stales arc fiercely opposed to the war.” i The Mexicans no doubt expected substantial “aid” from their allies here—and in this expectation they have not been disappointed. The Federalists have afforded all tho M aid and comfort” in-lhcir power to Mexico—not perhaps in men and money, for they jaro too cowardly logo quite, that far—but In abusing iho United States, and defending the cause of Mexico. Bui, the blood-thirsty Mexicans, under Santa Anna, and their allies, the Federalist in this bined, cannot defeat the American Iropps—nor oan 7Jcy disgrace tho United States, • It is all idle to at 'Ol it, " Tho address of the clergy,of San Luis Potosi— which will be found on our first page—is in lan. guage singularly like the speech *of tho Tory Senator* Cqrwin. In the language of lha Pennsylvanian, the reader cannot fail.to Vc slrUckwitlrthc extraordinary similarity between, the angry denunciations of the Mexicans, and the arguments of their allies in this country, tho Federal leaders and newspapers. There is the same absence of all allusion to the causes Which led to the difficulties between the two coun tries—the same studied attempt to place-the blame upon the' Government of the United Stales—lh«£ same pictures of tho excesses of our soldidry—the same dispoailion;to magnify the spirit and resources ! of Mexico. The newspapers and politicians of Mox* P ico, m those particulars, enjoy a common sympathy with tho Federalists hsre. To tbit''boor, what is the burden of, the Federal press on the subject of the war? Abuse of the ex ecutive—-exaggeration of our losses and expenditures —false statements of the excesses of our soldiers— eod'dailynusreprescnlotions in-regard of the contest, There is never foi&e.cMn a tingle allusion to th* wrongs Mexico hat heaped upon t/«. Wo bear nothing of the murders she committed, or tho properly she sequestered,in her intercourse with this country Tor twenty years. Wb hear nothing of her violations of* treaties with the United Stales- nothing of her treatment of Iho unoffending Texans —nothing of iho scones of Iho Alamo—nothing of the horrid cruellies Inflicted upon- all who fell into her bands during the difficulties with Texas; on these subjects (hero is a studied and .unbroken si .Unco, that contrasts singularly with Unf ailonco of iho Mexicans themselves on the saino'subjocts.— Even iho English press, up to this moment, has said less against our country on account eflho war will) 1 Mexico limn tho Federalists, and; if it should.) fall into the strain of the opposition, it would only bo because it would .bellovu the Federalists .before it would credit the Democrats. Tho men who sympathised with England in Iho revolution and the Ute war—who sympathised with the Indiana during the Seminole and Florida wars, cannot degrade themselves now, by sympathising with the Mexicans. But it is to ba hoped that their pestilential praises of General Tayloh >vill not save them from tho doom which their opposition to their bountry has so richly entitled them to. - thbl)'uty of democrats. It is tlio duty of every Democrat to forget every thing in the effort to-push forwards iho glorious cause of equal rights. Wo would say to our friends —Bury your personal antipathies. Rise above all considerations of self. ■ Regard nlonotho great end of our political association, and shqw yourselves su« pcfiur to,the ,unworthy motives which too often gov. orn men. Ho who regards tho contest as involving groat interests, and groat and permanent principles, will find noble apdlofty impulses to guide his notion.
