up an excitement in Ohio against the enforcement
of the law is reacting. The Dayton (Ohio) Journal
contains account of meeting held in that city,
on the Doth ultimo of those favorable to sustaining
the compromise measures Of the last Congresses
pecially the fugitive law. The venerable Judge
CRANE invited to preside, but his health pro-
hibting, he sent letter. expressive ofhis approval
of the object of the'meeting. ALEXANDER GRIMES,
esq, was appointed president. committee, of
which c. l.. VALLANDIeHAM, esq, was chairman,
was then selected who reported resolutions in favor
of the Union, the Compromise bis, and especially
the fugitive bill. In regard to this bill the resou-
tons say:
''That we regard the fugitive act OF 1850 as a
constitutional and necessary enactment-an am
plihcation and fulfment of the constitutional COM
pact, founded directly upon and demanded by it,
and no more stringent than that compact author
lied and the exigcnces OF the times required"
The resolutions were adopted unanimously, but, on
it's being suggested that vote should be taken sep
arately on the relative to the fugitive BILL the
resolutions reconsidered; and the question be-
ing taken on them separately, all adopted
unanimously, except the one in relation to the fu-
gtivc BILL and 1t carried, says the Journal, by
a very large majority, there being only few dis
senting votes" The Journal says of the meeting,
''In every rcspect, the meeting was one Of the
most dignihed and respectable which has ever been
held in this city, and there was much of deep and
enthusiastic feeling manifested throughout the en-
tire progress of the business"
