The Fugitive slave Law.

The last clause of the sixth section of
the law, declares that the certificate grant
ed by the officer before whom the fugitive
is broogh, "shall be CONCLUSIVE of the
right Of the person or persons in whose
favor granted, and shall prevent all moles-
tation of such person or persons, by any
process issued by any court, judge. mag
isfratt, or other person whomsoerer.
The claimants of fugi,iyes will claim
'.s,rict construction Of the words and
language Of the law. If this should be
granted by the courts or officers. II VIII
require more sagaciiy than we possess TO
discover how a writ OF habeas corpus
could reach an imprisoned fugitive. We
have not. ii is true, the NICE dlscrImlna-
ton WHICH laryers sometimes exhibit IN
the Interpretation of language, but the
above extract from the law it appears 10
US. is positive prohibition Of the use OF
the writ Of habeas corpus. and conse-
Quently renders, in our humble opinion,
the law unconstitutional al.
The genera! Interpretation ofanother pro-
vision Of the law, is. that any and every
person called upon by the Marshal or his
Deputy to assist in taking person claimed
as fugitive, are required to comply with
said request under a heavy penalty. W
have not been able to find any thing in
the law to justify such Interpretation. All
.good citizens" are '.commanded' 10
assist; but we can find no penalty for dis
obedience. There may be some other
law Of the United States on the subject
but the present bill does not contain any
penalty, unless persons summoned merely
as p0ssee can be called Deputy Mar
shals. To be Deputy Marshal as we
understand the law requires that regular
appointment should be received, and an
oath taken before a Magistrate or the
Judge Of the L. S. District Court. BE
the Interpretation of the law what it may
i, is contrary TO the spirit of the age, and
should be repealed.
