eminent can commit, there is scarcely
one greater than that of heaping statute
upon statute, without giving proper at
tention to their due enforcement. 1t is
better to have but few laws, than, by
neglect in enforcing them, to encourage
in the people habit Of disregarding
them. A short and simple code, rigidly
carried into effect, is far more advanta-
geous than an extended system, going
into the amplest details of command and
prohibition, but accompanied by laxity OF
execution. 1t is here, gentlemen, in my
opinion, that we are called on to commence
our work. Let as enforce the laws we
haze with ell diligence; for only by so
doing can we ascertain what others, if
any, are wanted.

Enforcing the Laws

JAMES HARPER, the new Mayor of N. York
in his first Message, has the following remarks on
the importance OF enforcing laws as well as Of
making them. These sentiments commend them
selves to all who rejoice at the triumph of order
and morality over the spirit of lawless violence,
which has recently ragged so unbounded and la
mentally in another city.
Il am strongly impressed with the be-
lief that many of the complaints hereto
fore existing have originated not in a
want of laws, but mostly in failure to
enforce them. would earnestly impress
this idea upon your consideration, with
the hope that, so far as lies in your power,
you will rather CO operate with me in
seeing that existing ordinances are made
effectual, than be very assduous in ma
king others ; for oil all the faults gov.

| To all Protested AboIttionists who have
not yet decided to vote against slaves
holders and their Apologies for Cttics.
HOW LONG HALT YE BETWEEN TWO
OPINIONS"
Every body, in the free States, rrcfsssea
TO be an aboIitonist. Al least this is the
general rule to which there may be soma
exceptions. But, these protested abolition
lists are divided into three distinct classes.
The first is that numerous (but constantly
decreasing) class, who have determined, all
all events, TO vote for their parlizan leaders
who are, Or may be, nominated for Office
without reference to the question Of slavery
This class are loud in their professions for
Liberty, but, in practice, they are the veres,
slaves to Power. They are bIindly, or sci j
fshly, devoted to the interests of that party
to whom, many of them, are kept in com
plete subsection by the force Of party ma.
chinery.
The second class is composed of thoss
who have not yet decided TO vote against
Shareholders. Some Of these are leaning to
the side of slavery because there are other
great and some say, permanent! interests
at stake. These men are willing that the
cause of emancipation should rely for suc-
cess on moral suasion dlone-but vastly dis.
like to see it mingled with politics
The third class is the Liberty Party who
are determined TO speak, vote and act against
slavery in all legal and constitutional ways.
II is to the second of these classes we ad.
dress ourselves. Some of them were. and
are members Of anii-slavery organizations
