In coca= with the vast majority of the eitaeos of all parties, of this Congrestrons I Disuia, Mr. Howe entertains strong objections to several femora of the Fugitive Slave Law, and he attended the meetings In this city and Allegheny, held in a time of groat excite meet, to give expression to public opinion, in eels lion to that then recent act of Congress, Some things were said and done'at those meetings which gave the impression abroad that the law would be resisted by force by our citrate, and as Mr. Howe held a prominent position u--Whig candidate for Congress, and equated his opinion stromity against the law, a report gained circulation that he favored sentiments akin to nollideation, in reference to this enactment. This erroneous impression gate rise to the conesponamoe below, which is now pub lished, to place Mr. Howe right before the Country, ant , as a simple act of justice to hlmsell -sod his Whig .coastiments. Every one knows that in times of much excitement, things are said aiti done at public meetings which many of thole who par ticipate in them disapprove, and which even the chief actors thmselveds regret in more sober coo. uterus. To make Mr. Howe accountable, therefore, for every extravagant sentiment uttered by others, on such occasions, would be to do him great loins troe: Every person among ha extensive acanthi lance, knows him to be a warm friend to the doc trine of obedience to Law, and the lea person who would countenance any-resistance to constituted authority. In Congreis he will be found an un flinching friend to the Union a taithful observer of the requirements of theConslittaion, and a devoted tdberent of the great =heal Whig pally. His coostiments expect this of him, and theyhave nit than of a dhappoirement; tor neither atertheY in favor of illegal resistance to the law.
