THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW.
PROM rHE yrRmorr JouRrAI.


The excitement growing Of the passage of the u
gve slave law, and few attempts the North to enforce
it. good deal abated. As to the policy of passing
such law, the proprey necessity of it well
TO the abstract morality business Of it's provisions
may and do differ widely. And is quite natural and
proper that these provisions should be openly and freely dis
cussed. That many violent and unbecomng things should
be said and done is altogether surprising That attempts
to repeal essentially modify the law will be made quite
kely Such course would in our Judgment be the only
proper and legitimate remedy for any unbeaabe provisions
that may exist.
That the Constitution, the supreme authority Of these
United States, plainly and requires that fugitive
slaves shall be gvsn sober intelligent reasonably
deny Unpaa,able as may b to here in Vermont,
where human freedom much cherished, the letter and
pupor Of the Constitution in this regard plain and i'm
perave. As citizens Of free and enlightened Government
have from obedience the authority Of this high
instrument II the Of Congress should be repealed
other act Carrying out the fugitive clause in the Cons
tuition will doubtless be enacted.

THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION.

The Nashville Dispatch" one day last week
thus announced the attempt which il appears is TO
be made to resuscitate the abortive and generally
repudiated Nashville Convention -
"The Southern Convention will certainly meet
: here next Monday. Numbers have engaged rooms
at the hotels. Tennessee will not be represented"
The Nashville " True Whig," in the following
brief paragraph, informs us precisely ho,0 many
compose the +" numbers" " who are said to have en-
gagged rooms at the hotels Of that city:
/" FiUe Delegates to the Nashville Convention, to
re-assembe in this city on the lih instant-four
from South Carolina and one from Georgia-have
: spoken for rooms at the Verandah. Take your
time gentlemen no prospect of a cro,cd!'
The Louisville Journal, in the following remarks
upon the subject, expresses what we understand to
be general sentiment in regard to this renewed at
tempt on the part of few malcontents in one or
two of the Southern States to organize Southern
Confederacy against the Government of the United
States:
"The Convention, it seems, will meet, but it
will evidently be very paltry affair. 1t will
scarcely be entitled to the name Of convention.
The failure will be even more ridiculous now
than il was in June.
/" we mink tnat the Uelegatcs 10 tnls Conven-
ton must feel not little humiliation and shame
in assembling for the promotion of their treason
upon the soil of State which has no sympathy
with them, which condemns and abhors their pur.
poses, and which will not furnish a single dele
gate to hold counsel with them and take part in
their proceedings"
A few hours may put us in possession Of the
muster-roll Of those delegates who may have been
present at Nashville Monday, the day set for the
adjourned meeting.

AN UNUSUAL SIGHT.-We yesterday saw in one
of the Harrisburg papers notice of an intend
ed application for the benefit of the insolyent
laws. A few years ago, preceding every term of
an " Insolvent Court" long columns of names
were paraded in the newspapers of intended appli-
cations for the benefit of the law. We now rarely
hear of such an application, and we venture the
assertion that not half much money! Is lost from
bad debts as was lost before the laO erempting
from erecltion three hundred dollars Uorth OF
property Uas passed. The hundreds of thousands
of dollars formerly spent in legally collecting small
debts are now saved to the poor, who had the tax
to bear They are, therefore, to the extent of this
saving the better able to buy for cash.
