The Fugitive Law,

Tie provisions of this act, have been al
ready exhibited in our columns; and their
wickedness exposed. We now simply place
in contrast with its demands the require
nents of the law of God.

the servant which is escaped from his mas
ter unto thee:
He shall dwell with thee, even among
you, in that place which he shall choose in
one of thy gates, where it likeih him hest +;
thou shalt not oppress him."-Deut. Xxiii:
Is, l6.
"Take counsel, execute judgment; make
thy shadow as the night in the midst of the
noon day; hide the outcasts, bewray not him
that VANDERBILT.
Let mine outcasts dwell with thee; be thou
q covert TO them from the face of the spoil
er."-lsa. xvi 3, A.
"Thus saith the Lord, Execute judgment
in the morning aud deliver him that is spoil
ed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my
| fury 20 out like fire, and burn that none caI
quench IT, because of the evil Of your do
ings."-Jer. xxi; II.
"Thus saith the Lord, Execute ye judg
ment aud righteousness, and deliver th'

and do no wrong, do no violence TO th'
stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, nei

xxii:3.

Southern BluSler.

Twill say to you in all sincerity, That be-
ieve this cry OF danger to the Union had its
origin, in soIne degree, in the fears, the hon
est fears of timid men. But TO great extent
and mninly, it was sent abroad by those who
were disposed TO deceive and deluge the ma
ton. Sensation. Knowing that the
union of these States was dear TO the people
in every part of the country, advantage was
taken of that circumstance, and designing
men were continually filling all ears with
the cry of danger to the Union.

there are traitors and doughiaces TO be sub

THE COMBINATIoN.-The wealth OF the
South is in its slaves. The wealth OF the
South aud the wealth of the North are com
bned to crush the liberal, free, progressive
spirit of the age. The cottonocracy OF the
North ana the slaveocracy of the South, are
in combination, welding the powers OF the
National Government for their own aggran-
dizement.
The cottonocracy has helped the slayeoc-
racy enact the Texns boundary ten million
swindle bill, erect Territorial governments
without the Proviso, pass the odious fugitive
slave bill, and now asks the slaveocracy to
pay off the Indebtedness, by aiding in ia
vorable modification of the Tariff!
Says the New York Courier and Enquirer,
one of the organs of the cottonocracy -" II
is thought the passage of the Fugitive Slave
bill should place the South in humor to favor
some modification of the Tariff, for the bene-
fit of those Northern men who have jeoparded
their political standing for the constitution"

CIRCULAR.

TIVE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish a
Il political Weekly paper in the German LAM
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Taylor came into power, and being DESTROYS TO
obtain the aid and cooperation OF the wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make it desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
Of Government.
/. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage as their medium of intercourse Is upwards Of
Three Millions, and this number Is constantly in
creasing by immigration
2. The name of Democrats being the appeation
Of the liberal or popular party OF Germany, to
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged they do, of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appellation in this country
as soon as they are able TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety 1T Is to use this
Interpretation to the best advantage.
3. Although there few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and relying for their support more on local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand or fall with the success or defeat Of the
Wing party in their particular section.
4; The Germans, however, being an Intelligent
and reading people, are accessible to sound argu,
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
TO overcome preudices, correct errors and misap-
prehensions, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
the desired effect, and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential portion of the German
citizens, over to the Wing ranks.
3. The undersigned is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles TO overcome, but rely
ing upon the power of truth and the operation
OF the Wing party, on account of the intrinsic
merits OF his enterprise does not fear To be charged
with entertaining too sangune hopes, if he antici.
pates q satisfactory result.
