SHALL II PEOPLE OF MISSISSIPPI PROVE
THEMSELVES TO BE CRAVEN BRAGGARrs p
The deed has been done. California has
been admitted, with the Wilmot proviso a
part OF her constitution. BY the act of Con.
gress tins damnable proviso is made the law
OF the land, Congress has therefore endorsed
the outrage, and has become responsible for
1t. The endorser of a note is as responsible
Tor It's payment as the man who first SIGNS it.
ne receiver OF stolen goods is as guilty as
The man who first perpetrates the theft, and
the man who lustities and defends a wrong
Is as guilty as he that commits it. This
principle Is applicable to the admission of
California as a State, by Congress. Until
this constitution of California, conceived of,
as 1t was, in fraud, and brought forth in in.
EQUITY, was ratified by Congress, it was
worthless as so much blank paper. What
was VOID then, and . nominal outrage, has
been sanctliied into a law by a free.soiI and
r%ecreant Congress, and is now as valid rs
any other law upon the tatut book.
Inc question is now practically presented,
VIII the South submit VIII she talnely
ana quietly agree to an act Of legislation
winch she has, by lnnumerable primary as
semblles OF the people and with legislative
solemnlty, declared to be Insulting to her
dignity, an invasion upon her constitutional
equality IN the Confederacy, and a total
disregard Tor her sacred rights? Shall we
act the part of menials and slaves! Cursed
be tile craven that warns us to Subm iSsi0u
The man who tells ms to bow to our opprcs.

monster unworthy the heritage of frecmen.
Let no such man be trusted if a Northern

TGg IcoiTIgE SLAVE LAw.-The great
measure embraced in the late compromise
bill, as a coAcesSioA 10 Us, peculiarly hyora.
be. and the inducemeni for Southerners to
70 favor it, was that providing for the re.
capture Of fugitive slaves. This bill was
passed. and how has il been regarded ?
/ See IN another column. some evidence. We
have seen bu, three, 1--WE have heard Il said
allcre are four instances in which the pro.
Vision of the bill are executed, and one Of the
three We have seen, was in New York, i'm.
mediately upon the passage Of the bill, aud
: while the panic was Still upon It's opposers
MS was evidenced ~ the trial. Since that
they haye rallied, aud an organization for re-
distance Has been made. ny the constitu.
ton the people Of the States who ratified it
are bound TO It's observance, and the State
Governments should in case of AN infmction,
interfere. But the Northern States have
prohibited by penal enactments, an interior.
cncc for the capture Of fugitive slaves, and
the people openly resist such u measure
What difference to us whether a law for
our protection be passed 10y Congress or not,
when after It's passage it is nullitied, by be-
ing resisted by the people, among whom,
and by whom il must be executed, and
hindered too from being executed by
the State Governments? Where is the
army and navy which was coming to
GEORGE Tcxas! 1t may be said by the mem
among us with Northern feelings, that the
army and navy cnnnot act, except in partic-
ular instances OF resistance to the law when
slave has already been captured and this is
the case. and must be, unless n strong de.
taichment be detailed to accompany oach
STAKEHOLDER while lie seeks his slave. Do
we not receive equal injury by having the
law broken after the arrest has been made
nnd by being deferred from making the mr..
rest.
