Opposition to the Fugitive slave Law.

Ia "tt ~ Inc 4 IIOuHti
MEMDEN, Com. "Wednesday, Oct. 10.
We had noble and spirited meeting in this
village last evening, relative to the Fugitive Slave
Law The citizens assembled to hear an address
from Mr.. Apicanus a coored speaker. He is a
man of fine personal appearance and good talents.
In an address OF an hour and halt, he dissected
the law, clearly pointed out its outrageous viola,
tions OF the Constitution and of Divine law, and
appealed with great power to the hearts and in
telects of his hearers.
At the close of the meeting resolution was
introduced "plcdging ourselves to protect retu-
gee from bondage in the midst of us, from all at.
temps to reduce him to slavery under tins law,
the resolution passed without one dissenting
voice The meeting adjourned one week tor the {,
purpose of giving still more deliberate and tnll
expression Of our views on this momentous topic.
You may depend upon it, the whole country IS
on FIRE Our seryilc politicians at Washington
thought their constituents were altogether such
as themselves when they devised this boosted
settlement but they have only walked up an
Indignation which will not be laid either to-day
or tomorrow.

of richly fertile and wooded country, watered by

of produce which invite the trade. 10 carry on

see why our own country should not compete with

know any more efficient method OF competition

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Oc,.7 1850.
The sympathies OF some persons in the North
seem to have been Of late wonderfully excited in
behalf Of the Slaye-owners Of the Southland
men are 10 be found among US who exult III pure
ignorance in the passage by Congress OF the re.
cent Fugitive Bill l have nothing 10 say on the
subject of the Bill at this time-nor am disposed
10 deny that perhaps in some instances the South
may have had reason TO complain in regard TO the
difficulty in recovering their Fugitive Slaves.
Yet those who had such reasons are not for the
most part those who have complained. Inhuman
masters and protested traHickers in human flesh
are those who have been most loud and vehement
in their condemnation Of the friends Of Freedom.
remember to have heard gentleman of Mary
land, who owned perhaps ten times as many
slaves as any OF these yocitcrous advocates for
continuance OF the blessings OF Slavery state pub
licly that he would never go beyond the lines Of
his own plantation in pursuit OF any slave OF his
who endeavored to escape from his service. The
humanity Of this sentiment was voucher for his
Kindness TO his bondsmen--and perhaps his best
security against loss. Ultra Abolitlonism no rea-
