For the freeman.
Southern Arrogance---the Consti-
tuition State Rights.
Glover, Dec. 10 1850

Mr.. EDITOR:
1t is long time since have taken pen in
hand tn prepare an article for the press and
should not now attempt it, but that my native
State is assailed by the enemies Of human liber-
ty, and the advocates of human bondage or A.
merican Slavery.
At the present time, when desperate effort
is being made to hush into silence, the uprising
spirit of Indignation of an honest and outraged
people, against the infamous Fugitive Slave Law,
no one obstacle stands more in the way of sue
cess, perhaps, than the position of Vermont
Hence, Southern presses and Southern States.
men are out in unneasured terms of denuncia-
ton and abuse of Vermont and her Legislature, for
the passage of Law, the tendency of which,
is to illustrate and defeat the design and effect
of the above law, passed at at the last session Of
Congress. Hence, all the slang, buster, and
epithets made use of by the abettors of bonds
and chains, when speaking of the State of Yer
mont and her Legislators. The charge Of reck-
lessness-nulliicat lon-iglorance--and uncon-
stitutionality are applied. The correspondent
of the Boston IImeS,-who circuates in the
fetid atmosphere at Washington, impregnated
with the fumes from the slave-pen and what is
worse, with the breath of those men who are
ready to violate every principle of humanity, and
even threaten the destruction of our glorious
Union,--has quoted the opinions of the Vermont
delegation in Congress, and mentions the names
o. Senators Upham and Phelps as denouncing
the law of Vermont. This immaculate knight
of the quill sneers al the Legislature which
passed, and the Governor who approved the law,
as being either ignorant of The provisions of the
Constitution, or reckless as to their duty us Leg
islators. These are serious charges, and should
call forth from every press in Vermont, without
distinction Of party, decided refutation of the
charges, or an acknowledgement of their truth
before the world.
If the Legislature of Vermont has assumed
to pass law unwarranted by the Constitution
Of the Unied States, then most clearly Vermont
is in the wrong The Constitution should be
regarded as the polar star, by which State Leg
islatures should be guided in their acts. With
out undertaking to decide upon the consti-
nationality of the law Of last fall, we think a
few quotations from the Constitution of the u
nited States, and few passages from the Con-
stitution of our own State, will serve to set the
matter at rest, so far as the law of last fall COM
planned of is concerned.
The second clause of Section 9, Article l, Of
the U. S. Constitution, reads as follows:
"7Rc privilege of the ,crit Of hdbeGs corpus
shall not Be suspended, unless IOhen in cases rcbc
lion, or invasion The public safety may require il
The trainers of the constitution of Vermont
believing in the necessity and justice of this
provision, have been careful to insert it almost
word tor word in our own, with an injunction
upon the General Assembly as follows;

Vermont Fugitive T.aVu,

We have watched with considerable curiosity
the expression of the wing press in this State
in response to the Hunker lulminations from a.
broad, of which we have already appriscd our
readers.
The Union Whig, which is an ably conducted
paper, and never fears to be true index of what
it believes to be the policy Of the administration
boldly condemns the late law. The Middlebury
Register does the same, while majority stant
doubling and qulverng between the two fires
hat of public opinion at home, and that coming
rom the jeopardized policy of Fillmore ant
Webster at Washington. There are three pa
pers among them however, that stand on the de
fenslve-the Herald, Waterman and Free Press
the first mildly, the next with lawyer like adroit
ness, and the last boldly, aod like man whc
talks as if he was not afraid. 1t is bad DO,
for the whg leaders, we know, and we shoult
pity them, if we could blind our eyes to what
with most OF them, was fact, that they joine,
In the passage of the act only to retain enough
of the free soil thunder to carry the State at thu
next elections.
The act is clearly cousttutional-was clearl,
required to protect our own citizens against al
unconstitutional act of Congress, and whateve
may be promised, will never be repealed, Will
the act of Congress has existence. For ourselvc
we should no sooner think of defending our con
stitutional right of passing this law, than W
should our constitutional right to eat our dinue
but we are willing others should do so; and W
publish communication in another column tina
takes the right view of the subject.

So deep snow in December as fell on Sun

THE FUGITIVE SLAVE BILL.

The third false idea is this that you are NOR
ally bound to obey the law let it be ever so
plainly wrong and opposed to your consciences.
This is the most dangerous Of all the false ideas
vet named. Ambition men, in an act of pas
sion, make iniquty into law and then demand
that you and |, in our act of prayer. shall sub
init to it and make it our daily life; that we
shall not try to repeal and discuss and agitate it.
This false idea lies at the basis ofevery despots
