EFFECT OF THE FUGITlvE SLAVE Law
This law is having an effect upon the Abolition
lists and escaped slaves, which will drive them
into acts Of desperation and treason. In many
places meetings have been held to make re-
sistance to the enforcement of the law, and pro-
tect the fugitives. The crisis must come, as
slave owners are as determined to test the effica-
cy of the law, as others are to make it dead let
