SIT may interest the readers of these papers, as
piece of curious antiquarian history, to know the or
igin of the practice of restoring fugtves from sea
vice. In the articles of confederation between the
United Colonies Of New England-namely. Massa-
chusetts, New Plymouth, Connecticut, New Haven,
&C. made in 1913; and made the preamble declares,
by those who all come into these parts of America
with and the same end and aim, namely, to ad-
the kingdom of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, and
to enjoy the liberties of the gospel in purity with
peace there is the following provision 1t is also
agreed that if any servant run away from his master
into any confederate jurisdiction, in such case, upon
of which the servant fed or upon other due proof,
the said shall be either delivered TO his mas
ter any other that Pursues and brings such certi
cate or proof
"Thus it appears that the rendition of fugi,ives
from service in this country commenced more than
two hundred years ago. and what is remarkable, the
mode of proof prescribed by the agreement of the
Colonies is precisely analogous TO one OF the modes
provided by the of 1850; the only difference be-
tween them is the elevated character of the rl-
buna in the jurisdiction out of which the said ser
want fed, before which the proof is now to be made,
and the greater caution in the proceedings. pre-
that the subjects of this compact between the
Colonies rather white servants and apprentices
than negro slaves. which in 1643 were probably very
few in number. 1t was very common in those early
times more than at present, for master mechanics to
take ndentured apprentices, who, if they absconded,
land ae) liable to be arrested and returned
to their masters, persons held to labor or service
in the State whence they fled"
The same rule prevails IN regard to White tu-
gitves was adopted by the early Puritans of New
England in relation to runaways, and is applied by
the law of 1850 Gas it has been by the law OF 1889
to fugitive slaves. man charged with crime, and
fleeing to another State, is surrendered up the SIM
pie certificate of authorized magistrate, without
trial inquiry into the reality OF his guilt or any
appeal to the writ of habeas corpus. His guilt IS lett
to be ascerained in the State from which the fugitive
fled. But the Northern fanatics contend for rule
for runaway blacks different from that which white
runaways subjected and ready to tear the
cred Union asunder to effect their weak and wicked
purpose. NGlton1l lnteHsgeneer'
