apply is far too small for the sensation
which has produced, the ground of the degree of
hardship which it has occasion, of which it can be
the occasion.-Boston Advertiser
'Each fer each, and all for ALL is the grand princ
pie of repubicanism. The Commonwealth is one body
and every citizen ths<a member. IT, in one ot or
title, the rights of one member of the Commonwealth
infinged by all the other MEMBERS the whole prin-
cipe of republicansm is by that act outraged and de-
MED; and morally, the Commonwealth no longer ex-
ists
In this state of Massachusetts, there are hundreds of
citizens who have for years lived and abored amongs
who have become most exemplary characters; whose
names towns and citys registers as voters;
who possess all the rights and mmunes that any 9TH
citizen possesses and who, by their virtue, inelli-
gence and independence have shown themselves Or
| thy of all these.
But by law recently passed in Congress, these hun
dreas of citizens liable to be dragged, at any mo-
ment, in the most summary manner, from their homes,
and may be consigned to all the horrors of hopeless
bondage. Can republcanism, that expression OF the
poty of reason and JUSTICE allow those citizens rights
thus to be invaded, without suffering moral destruction?
1t cannot but the Boston Advertiser can for the Boeton
Advertiser is the organ Of expediency and expedeucy
will iorego the purest principles and descend to the
its desires. The Boston Advertiser den,ores senst;
IN consequence Of the tyranny and summary despotc
character Of the Fugitive Slave Law The law appcs
to so Insignificant number of persons that the Adyer
user considers the present agitation altogether ncom-
mensuae, and beyond the hardshps to be inflicted un-
der It, Now ii the mere agitation of the question eau
SEES suffering to the Boston Adoertiser and impels it to
put in disclaimer; what are men of Justice and rea
son to suppose will be the extent Of SUFFERING and hard
ship that the application of the bill will cause 1t is
because of its unutteabe hardship Of its nexpressbe
cruelty ofits disgusting Tyranny and OF its ttal de-
praVy that we condemn and assail this BILL and it is
because it is such defamation of the American char
acer' that we eJoce to see countrymen arousing
themselves and declaring that it shall be repealed.
It's not because few will suffer by this law that we
place ourselves IN hostility it; hut it is because it is
that undenines the whole superstructure of berv
and sets at defiance the laws of God 1t is NOT that
aye" VIII fall into the mesLes of slavery by its opera
ton, but because citizen Of this republic man ba
robbed OF his freedom by and degraded from his man
hood.
Alas forthe repubcanism that has no noblcr oxnros
sion oil Its spirit, than the Boston Advertiser and aas

and loter witness of its spirit and influences.

out upon him for thirty years PAST, in relation, as well
to his political as his moral integrity He has been
the standing and constant theme of his maedic,;on and
we have repeatedly heard him represent him as the
most entirely and hopelessy corrupt, progate and nm
principed politician in the country. Now when Web
