We arc all Shareholders,

The deed is done. The last, the crown
ing act has heen consummated. The Fugi-
tive Slave Bill has passed both Houses of the
American Congress, and has doubtless re-
ceived ere this the sanction of the President,
and become the law of the land, superior and
paramount TO ali state laws. The whole civil
nnd military power of the people of these
United States is now nrrayed in the form of
paramount law, binding all over the Union
upon every man, woman and child in it, in
favor of Shareholders aud against those who
have attempted, or who may hereafter at
tempt TO escape from the worst form of OPP
preston the sun ever shone upon.
Tie law goes into immediate operation.
Slavery gives its victims no breathing time.
In every county, town and village, the Uni
ted States Courts, if necessary for the slave
holding interest, will erect petty courts held
by commissioners, ms they are called, mean
lng pnrveyors of Shareholders for issuing
process for the arrest and delivery Of human
chattels 10 those who claim them as beasts
Of burden.
The states may have now, or they may
hereafter pass laws against kidnapping, but
they will be controlled and oyerl,orne by the
law and authority of the United States.-
These Commissioners-thes puryeyors OF
slavery, will laugh at your cobweb state laws.
They nre authorized upon the production OF
an affidavit TO hand over the supposed fugi-
give, whether white, black, or copper-colored,
to the ciumant, upon mere er pdrte exa-
mination.
The law makes the affidavit conclusive
against The supposed fugitiye-gives him no
subpoena TO compel the attendance of wit
nesses in bis behalf-empannels no jury TO
decide upon his right 10 life and liberty, but
consigns him at once 10 chains and slavery,
upon the mere affidavit, it may be, of heart
less man-stealer who for the sake of a few
hundred dollars, will file his affidayitin some
southern court, that certain person living
IN free state, is his slave.
And the United States Courts and these
petly Commissioners are authorized to ap'
point any number of Slave Catchers as De-
putty Marshals and Constables, to arrest and
bring the supposed fugitive before his Honor
the Commissioners, for mock trial, and then
deliver him safely TO the affidavit maker, OF
u the claimant is a coward and afraid &c
come into a free state after his property, tc
transport, at the expense of the United States
the said property TO his lordship in South Ca
rolina or Texas. Who will accept the of
fee OF ofSlave-Catcher None, we apprehend
but the most reckless and unprincipled mel
who for the sake of a little money in thu
shape of fees, will prowl around your dwell
lings, and, like bloodhounds, scent out thei

WHOLE NO. 264.

I'VE have not carefully examined its pro-
visions, but we do not believe this act will
amount to much in practice. The defect
sought TO be rcmedied is not in our slave
Catching laws--thcy were stringent already
but IN the general feeling of our Noubers
People that man innocent of other crime
than love of liberty when running for h;a
freedom ought not 70 be cnurht We don't
see how amy law is TO remedy this; but per-
hops If Gen. Foote would condescend TO
stump the Free Stntcs on the subject he
might set us right on the question. II he
should, the old laws would be found etr;u-
gent enough. Without some such potent
agency to operate on Public Sentiment we
don't believe five more runaway slaves per
anDum will be caught in consequence of his
new law, while il has q lot Of ponderous ma
cbinery for slave-catching, which cnn hard
ly fail TO be generally odious. We doubt
whether commissioners can be found TO f;il-
fl its requirements in some sections. How
ever, let us tiiank the House for JisposinR Of
the bill somehow.-.N Y Tribune.
How would il do to have Mr. Clay take
the stump TO remedy the evil of Northern
detection? lie thinks il the duty of every
man to assist in catching Slaves. and he
would surely have more influence with our
Northern people-especinlly Whigs--than
MIR. Foote, and Mr. Greeley should coax the
great compromiser TO take the stump in favor
of the bill. lie has always favored il quite
as much as the little .Muss-maker Pitts

The Fugitive Slave Bill.

Language would fail TO express the con-
tempt with which we regard the miserable
tools, sycophants and traitors whose votes
have brought about this result. A more
abominabe, disgrnceful and inhuman net OF
legislation never passed body claiming TO
possess decent regard for the opinions and
feelings of mankind Those who voted for
il can be considered only as enemies of the
human race. Such legislation is sickening
aud disgusting, and completes the degrada-
ton of the American Congress. This body,
composed in part of towards and renegades,
apparently destitute of the commonest inn
pulses of humanity, has consummated acts
of legislation worthy of the dark ages, aud
which would even then have been scorned
as base and tyrannca. The American Con-
gress has endeavored 10 convert the free citi-
zens of the north into slave catchers for the
southern negro-holders, and TO accomplish
this has tramped upon the principles of civ
il liberty and now calls upon us TO repudi-
ate the obligations Of Christianity and the
impulses of the human heart. We tell the
miserable tyranis and tools of tyrants who
are engaged in this effort, that their detesta-
ble legislation will be spurned as it deserves,
and then the authors of il, will be spurned
too, and if il be possible their names will be
made hateful to men. The American Con-
gress is mad. 1t has lost all sense of shame,
aud, unfortunately, never possessed either
honor or principle.
We had not believed il possible for this
fugitive slave bill TO pass the House. Cor
rupt, weak and hypocrtical as we knew the
northern doughfaces TO be, we had yet sup
posed they retained sufficient degree OF
manhood to contemn bill so outrageous
and iniquitous But we were misiaken.--
There is no lower deep in the moral world
than the American Congress. There is no
business there too vile to be done if it is but
the Shareholders bidding. = Salem (.'1dsS.)

Clear the track, or the car Of slavery will
crush you. You must not obstrlicf, or in
any wise binder any one Of these legal Slave
Caichers, or any one aiding hlm, in the busi-
ness Of slave-hunting or sluvc-driving--nny
more, you must not in any manner conceal
or even harbor the poor trembling fugitive
flying from bloodhounds in human shape-if
you do any of these unlawful things, YOU
may be hauled up as a common feon before
the United States Courts sitting in the Capi-
tai ofyour state, be indicted by grind jury,
be fined one thousand dollars, he imprison-
ed for six months, and moreover, be compel
led TO pay one thousand dollars more, which
the law fixes as the value of black or white
person claimed ns fugitive slave, no matter
whether old or young, feeble and decrepid
or strong of wind and limb.
You must clear the track for the slave
holders minions, did we say2 No, not so.
You must be one of these minions yourself
The law does not permit you TO stand neutral
in this controversy between Slavery and
Freedom. Should any of your fellow citi-
zens more hardy than yourself, dare attempt
TO shield the victim from the doom that u
waits him, the law authorizes these officers
of injustice, to summon the posse coaitailis,
that is, the people, and you among the num-
Der, and commands you in the name and by
the authority of the people of the U. States,
to give your aid and hearty cooperation to
these legal kidnappers.-- Columbus Standard.
