What shall our Fugitiyes do!

Shall they flee TO British soil? Or shall
they arm themselves and defend the rights
which God has given them! We say LEI
them uct as they please. We would advise
every fugitive 10 visit Canada; TO set foot on
free soil To breathe free air. Let them do
this, und the Chains will fall forever from
law exists in any State by which they can be
re-ensluved. We may then all defend them
as free men. Community will thcn stand by
them, aud no piraticul lorce will ever take
them back TO bondPge.
But il iugitves now living in the free
States cannot well go to Canada, we advise
them TO arm themselves at once. Let each
member of the family who has the power to
handle weapon, he provided with arms. II
the slave catcher comes, receive him with
powder aud ball, with dirk, or Bowie knife,

There is no penalty against the fugitive
defending himself This law regards him as

killing his master in self defence, than would

Slave Trade at the Capital.

The following is the act abolishing tho
Slave Trade in the District of Columbia:
AN ACT to suppress the Slave Trude in the
District of Columbia.
BE IL endctedb by the Senate and House of Re-
preseniatipes Of Me United States Of .4meyica in
Congress assembled, That from und after the
first day OF January, eighteen hundred and
fifty one, il shall not he lawful to bring into
the District of Columbia any slave whutever,
for the purpose OF being sold, or for the pur-
pose OF being plnced in depot, to be subse-
quenIly transferred 10 any other State or
place TO be sold as merchandise. And IL
any slave shall be brought into said District
by its owner, or by the authority or consent
OF its owner, contrary to the provisions OF
this act, such slave shall thereupon become
liberated und free.
Sec. 2. find be II further enGcied, That il
shall and may be lawful for each OF the Cor
| porations of the cities OF Washington and
| Georgetown, from time to time, and as often
as may be necessary, TO abate, break up, and
abolish any depot or place of confinement Of
slaves brought into the said District as mer-
clandise, contrary TO the provisions of this
nct, by such appropriate means as may ap-
pear to either of the said Corporations expe-
dient and proper. And the same power Is
hereby vested in the levy court of Washing
ton county, ifaDy attempt shall be made
within its iurisdictonal limits 10 establish
depot or place of confinement for slaves
brought into the said District as merchandise
for sale contrary to this act.
Approved Sept 20, 1850.
There is nothing in this law to preventive
sale of slaves in the District. il only breaks
up the slave pens, in order TO render slavery
itself more tolerable. II Congress imagines
that such law will appense the ani-slavery
sentiment of the North, il will find itself
mistaken. Having achieved SO much, that
sentiment will demand yet more--the entire
abolition of Slavery at the Capital.

A Word from ]. R. Glddings.

Mr.. Giddines, in recent address to his
constituents, says;
Thus, fellow citizens, you and ! are liable
NJ any hour, TO be called on to pursue the
iiylng bondmun as he Lnstens towards land
OF freedom. We have become nation OF
saye-huniers, and slave-catchers.
The man who shall seize a slave upon the
African coast, is by our law consigned to the
gnllows, aud deemed unworthy of an exist
ence among civilized or even burbarous
people: but how much greater must be the
guilt oililln who seiZes the enlightened and
inlelllgem Christian, one who holds the same
religion, aud trusts IN the same salvation as
himself, aud riveting the cold iron upon his
irembIiDg limbs sends him back to bondage
aud suffering.
We know that the benighted African is
unconscious of his rights, aud incapable of
npprecioting his degradation yet we hang
Tie man who arrests and consigns him to
slavery This we regard as Just but what
penalty can be regarded as commensurate
with the crime of seizing upon our fellow
man whose mind has been enlightened, who
knows the rights with which God has en-
flowed him, who comprehends the crime
connitted against him, and of sending him
back To n land of chains, aud whips, aud suf-
tering? In my opinion such crime far trnus-
cends that of the Ordinary pirate. Indeed !
Think the thief Ur the pirate, far more inti-
tied TO our friendship, than he who under any
circumstances will lend himself TO the com
mission of the crimes which this law requires
us TO perpefrate.
am not one ofthosc who believe that this
law, enacted by shareholders aud 10y traitors
10 freedom, will justify me before the Om-
hscent Judge for consigning one Of his in-
telgent beings, to life OF suffering and de-
graduation.
The history of civilized legislation during
The 18th century, furnishes no parallel to this
ntrocious law. There is no lower depth Of
degradation to which Congress can consign
The people of the free States. The remedy
IS alone with the people. In order to sooihc

Flight Of the Fugitive Slaves.

We have already recorded the flight of
two or three parties of negroes who are
afraid of the Fugitive Slave law, lately
passed. On Tuesday evening thrty-iye
negroes, residing IN the Third Ward in Al
legheny, started for Canada, and there are
others who will soon follow.
We have heard expressions of astonsh-
ment that there should he such large NUM-
ber of fugitive slaves in the two cities as
their stanipedes would seem to Indicate
The answer 10 this is very simple. The
slaves have wives, husbands, blood relations
and friends, from whom they do not wish TO
separate, and one slave will sometimes take
with him half dozen whose freedom no
one would despite. IN some cascs, howev-
er, il is impossible to remove an eutre fnnIi-
ly, and this leads to some heart rending sepa-
rations. We are told that the scene preced-
ing the flight mentioned above, would have
excited the sympathy of the most cold-heart-
ed. Mothers and daughters, fathers and
sons, brothers and sisters are clinging to one
another in despair, al the thought Of a sepa-
ration, which they seemed TO feel would be
for life.
In our opinion this panic is unnecessary.
The decisions under the Constitution formed
a law which gave the master all the power
he could have in commonwealth where his
authority was denied by the great mass OF
the people. The late Bill is apparently
more stringent, but when carried into opera
ton will he found TO have little or no force.
II the people of Pennsylvania say that their
State shall not he made field for kidnap-
pers, it will be as they wish, and no act OF
Congress can make il otherwise.
There was a meeting OF negroes held last
night in the Mission Church, Allegheny, to
consider what action should be taken in the
present crisis. There is call for general
meeting of the citizens of Allegheny, TO be
held on Monday next, for the purpose of ex-
pressing their hatred to the slave law. We
have heard also, that a movement is OH foot
to get up meeting in Pittsburgh. The pas.
sage of the Slave Bill has caused much
more excitement than we anticipated. The
opinion thlt the law must be repealed seeni'
TO be universal in this neighborhood.-PiuS

The Fugitive Law.

Several of our colored citizens have left
the city, and others are preparing to go to
Canada, through fear of this most infamous
law. They are unnecessarily alarmed. In
our judgment there is not the least particle
Of danger We have very much mistaken
public opinion here, il it would not justify a
colored man in resisting by any means in his
power, any officer who would attempt TO ar
rest him under tins law. We believe there
is no man base enough in this city or in
Northern Ohio to accept an office under IL:
1t is law that would disgrace Hungary, and
nobody but Haynau would aid in carrying
out its provisions. Cgeve. True Demeeraf.

Nor BAD IDEA.-One nun OF our ac-
ouaintance--an Abolitionist of the tr,est
sort--bas made over to trustees, for the be-
neft of his wife, all his earthly possessions,
in order that they may be safe from the grasp
of the U. S. authorities in case he should find
occasion to help the fugitive. Perhaps 9TH
ers would do well TO initiate his example.
