and-order-supporting city Of Boston, justice
is administered BY giving to a mans prop
erty the sanctity Of the castle which no pro-
cess of law can open, and hunting the owner
with sheriffs and constables to the Court
House. and then mobbing him from its doors
and this, too, whilst he is merely asserting one
of the plainest rights in the Constitution, ac-
cording to law embraced in compromise by
which the South was bereft Of an immense ter
ritory as the price Of this work Of conciliation
and harmony.
This is the greeting which Massachusetts
sends to Georgia when she is gathering in Con
,vention How will Georgia answers Will she
submit to have her citizens hunted as outlaws
in the North, when asserting their constitutional
rights! @
We beg to be understood, however, as moi
making this new issue, or any new issue. If
the late measures of Congress are proper for
Southern acquiescence and rejoicing, it would
be folly to disturb the general harmony and af-
fcction Of the Union for all the negroes that
ever have, or ever win run away particularly as
the States from which they usually run are SO
contentad. ,
The cotton States had peculiar interest in
the territorial question It was important TO
them to avert a great numerical preponderance
of the black over the white race in their borders
This would not only diminish the value Of their
great staple by over production, but menace
their safety. The border States may conclude to
consult their own interest, and to abandon the
common territorial rights of the South to OBJ
tain tho restitution Of fugitive slaves. They
have paid the price--and the contract is, as usual
repudiated by the North.
We have the most unhesitating conviction
| that neither tho present, nor any other Fugitive
slave law ever will be executed in the North
This is no longera federatiye but consolidated
Government, and as such the majority is respon-
sible for what they call the sin Of slavery
| And with the universal sentiment of our @North-
ern brethren" on slavery they never will sub
mil to the execution of Fugitive slave law, nor
to the continuance Of slavery itself in the Union
much longer. gsa M @s34si.sa:,. p s3..g s &
| It is true the submissionists of the border
States are again threatening what they will do
if this law is nullified or repealed. Let not the
cotton States be again deceived. The submis,
sionists would not resist any thing, but they
would like to have the corporation Of the cottor
States next Congress in protecting the law, and
in case of failure as is probable, Of displaying
their love of Union again by deserting again
their allies and their pledges-to be pulled il
Northern papers as patriotic nationals, and to
make little more capital for party, and to i'm
prove their chances Of getting into the Federal
1 crib. .% f1
Wewish it to be understood now, that we shal
take no part in resisting the law to repeal or tt
\ modify the Fugitive law. We 60 and shall &c
for the assertion Of the great body of rights, BY
the maintenance of which the South will have
power not only to defend herself but to advance
to her destiny. We are determined never to b
the supporter of whining and supplicant polio!
