We understand from the best authority that the
gle In Ceorgia-the present battleg ground, were,
ing majority of her people prepared acquesce in
the and sustain the late action of Congress
though they would have preferred that portion OF these
measures should have been disposed of differently
We understand, further, that the convention 10
assemble will be composed OF large majority OF dele
gates who entertain these opinions; that large MAORI
ty of her citizens strongly attached the Union
but at the same time IL is true that there strong
of disunon sentiment pervading the pcblc mind
of the State.
But we understand further that with those who have
maintained the cause of the Union there is one universal
sentiment that the late Adjustment be scrupulousy
adhered TO by all sections of the country They regard
the adoption of the fugtveslaye bill the strongest
evidence afforded in the Adjustment of the intention OF
our northern brethren to abide in good faith by the CON-
promises and of the constitution on the sub
ect OF slavery They have witnessed the patriotic eff
forts OF portion OF northern friends with the highest
satisfaction proofs of their determination sustain
the provisions of the BILL They point to the speech OF
Judge Douglas, the charge OF Judge Grer the resou-
tons of the great meeting of New York and other DEM
onstrations Of public sentiment in the North with the
greatest satisfaction These events have nerved the
arms and stimulated the hearts of the southern who
are ggling for the preservation of the Union But

they looking with increasing anxiety to the action Of
the Executive. They waiting to see whether
Mr.. Fillmore will permit the opportunity pass unn-
proved Of indicating the power and majesty Of the law
We assured upon authority to which attach the
greatest weight, that the Union hangs upon the fate
the fugtivesave law Its repeal or its material modi-
fcation the failure to carry out its provisions in all
good faith, will cause every southern raised in
the cause of the Union to fall nerveless, and every
tongue that now defends it will be palsed into silence
We state these facts for the purpose of awakening our
countrymen of the North and them. with all
the earnesness Of the deepest conviction that unless
they themselves and to the rescue there is
great and imminent danger Of the dissolution of the
Union
We state these facts and urge these speculatons
upon all the responsibility which, patriot and
man, we owe to orr countrymen The Union will be
saved if the firm and moderate of the North will it
so; Otherwise Gas Mr. Bayard said in his celebrated
speech Of 1907 five shall be led the brink of
mendous precpce: another false STEP and shall be
lost in the abyss"
We have no hesitation in saying that when the con-
vention oGcorga assemble they bound by the
solemn duties to declare these facts and to proclaim
that unless the Compromise be carried in good faith
and all aggressons hereafter the South must look
to its exertions for the preservation of its rights
and its honor --Union.

an apology due our readers Having abiding conf

rotic spirit has unintentionaly fallen into error

that the law does not allow the fugitive to contest the

contend, presume, that it ought to be. This is the
view taken Of the matter by of the Judges Of the
United States Supreme Court lately, Judge Grier }
in letter in relation the of fugitive who had
been Jrought before him and discharged We subion
much of Judge Grers opinion bears this point
"The act contemplates trial and decision Of the
court Judge, involving questions both of law and
iac and unless the rules Of the Common Law to evil
dence be followed, when not changed by the Statute,
the tribunal would be without rule; governed only by
ercse Of yrannca, not judicial power, 1t is the du-
y of the Judge who exercises it, to render equal JUS
ce both the claimant and the person claimed Ii
idence heard side only, and that too, with
out regard to any rule principle known to the law
gross oppression and wrong would flow from it. Free
men and citizens of Pennsylvania might be kidnapped
into bondage under forms Of law and by the action of
legal tribunal to do equal and exact justice to
all men. This much maligned law, not only gives a
trial before legal tribunal, before the claimant be
authorized carry the allegediugve ont Of the State

wonld have enjoyed before this act of Congress was
passed."
