THE FUGITIVE SLAVE Law.

The Philadelp hia Bulletin makes The follow.
ing observations in relation 10 the operation Of
tie ifsw Fugitive Slave Law:
!" 1t is evident, from the tone of the
newspapers generally, that this bill has
excited the most intense excitement
among the colored population of Penn
sylsania, New York, Massachusetts,
and other northern States. Aware as
we were Of the large number of fugitive
slaves in the North, who, protected
partially by public opinion, deiied their
masters, we were. ignorant that 50 very
many had settled among US, in viola
ton Of the spirit Of the federal consti-
tuition. The stringency of the late law,
however, has alarmed the fugitises, and
vast numbers consequently are leaving
US for Canada. In many cases the i'm
perilled slaves, and their colored
friends, threaten to resist the law.
But however hard it may be for them,
after once having lived in q state of
freedom, to return to slavery, any at
tempt to oppose the law cannot but
prove disastrous to them in the highest
degree. We see but one resource for
these fugitiYes; and that it does not be-
come Us to recommend: it is to fly Sc
sretly to Canada. The free white CT
.izens OF the North are bound BY every |
egal and honorable tie, to deliver them |
Up to their masters; but we know suf- |

4 Giant Of the OIdru Tim..-A human

4 Giant OF The OldrH Time-A human
skeleton Of unusual size, was discover
ed the other day, at Harsimus, in New
Jersey, by Mr.. Bliven, who was grad
ing near the house Of Judge Garreston.
The Jersey City Telegraph says:
at was found about nine feet under
ground, imbedded in several bushels Of
exceedingly large oyster shells, much
larger than any to be found in our wa
tiers. They are doubtless the remains
of an Indian Of immense stature, as,
from the appearance of the skeleton, he
must, when living, have been over
eight feet high. The skull measures
fifteen inches from the root Of the nose
over the top, to the base of the occipi-
tai bone, and is two feet in circumfer-
ence: it contains full set Of excellent
teeth, Except one, very even, sound
and white. Mr.. Bliven informs us that
he has found great number Of skele-
tons in that vicinity, similarly buried

as this.
This mode Of burial is conclusive
evidence that they are remains ofIndi-
ans. but when they were inferred is a

by the whites in 1924, and the red men,
it is not probable, remained here very
long after that event."
